A turbine generator of the reverse-flow type having a rotor winding and a stator winding and a cooling duct, wherein the cooling duct is designed as a diffuser. The diffuser is designed such that a device is arranged on an internal cooling duct wall, which device prevents the flow of the cooling medium from stalling, leading to an improved, more uniform flow to a cooling apparatus.

A generator for a power plant and a method for cooling the generator, where the generator includes a stator and a rotor, the stator carrying conductors. The conductors for a winding overhang at least at one end of the stator and the generator has a fan for cooling the winding overhang. The fan produces a cooling air flow directed onto the winding overhang and has an axial component and a radial component.

A generator air gap baffle train assembly includes linearly aligned baffle segments, linearly aligned wedge blocks, and a tensioning rod. Each baffle segment includes a radially outer portion having an outer surface to interface with the axial slot and a side surface angled with respect to the outer surface and an axially aligned first thru bore and a radially inner portion which projects into an air gap. A pair of wedge blocks are positioned on opposing sides of the radially outer portion, each wedge block including a side surface that interfaces with the side surface of the radially outer portion so that the interfacing surfaces are in abutting contact and an outer surface that interfaces with the axial slot and a second thru bore axially aligned with the first thru bore of each baffle segment. The tensioning rod is enclosed by a non-conducting hollow tube spanning between adjacent baffle segments.

Provided is a canned motor in which vaporization of the handling liquid is reduced in a case where a rotor rotates at high speed. A canned motor 10 includes a stator 18 disposed in a stator chamber 26, a rotor 14 disposed in a rotor chamber 12, and a stator can 7 enclosing the rotor 14. Furthermore, the canned motor 10 includes a stator chamber inlet portion 43 configured such that a cooling liquid for cooling the stator 18 flows into the stator chamber 26, and a stator chamber outlet portion 44 configured such that the cooling liquid flows out from the stator chamber 26.

An electric machine includes a rotor surrounded by a stator. An external jacket surrounds the stator and extends between front and rear end parts, thereby delimiting an inner region which accommodates the rotor, and an outer region radially surrounding the inner region. The inner and outer regions communicate with one another via recesses to enable air to flow out of the inner region and into the outer region and from there to flow back into the inner region. Front and rear closing elements are attached to the front and rear end parts on their side facing away from the external jacket, thereby enclosing a front cavity and a rear cavity. Axial tubes are fastened in the front and rear end parts such that the axial tubes extend from the front end part across the outer region to the rear end part and open in the front and rear cavities.

A method for cooling an electrical machine includes the following steps: guiding a coolant in an axial coolant supply line which is arranged in the rotor shaft, and conducting the coolant into an interior chamber of the electrical machine via a radial coolant supply line which is connected in a coolant-conducting manner to the axial coolant supply line. The electrical machine has an axial coolant supply line and at least one radial coolant supply line connected in a coolant-conducting manner to the axial coolant supply line, both of which are arranged in the rotor shaft. An interior chamber of the electrical machine is connected in a coolant-guiding manner to the radial coolant supply line.

An actuator module is provided. The actuator module includes a motor part including a drive shaft and a drive part configured to rotate the drive shaft, a reducer installed on one side of the drive part and configured to increase an output torque according to driving of the motor part, a brake installed on an opposite side of the drive part and configured to suppress rotation of the motor part, an encoder installed on one side of the brake and configured to sense an operation of the drive shaft, a controller installed on one side of the encoder and electrically connected to the motor part to control the motor part, and a first housing configured to surround the motor part, the reducer, the brake, the encoder and the controller. An airflow path through which an airflow can flow is formed to extend from the motor part.

An electric machine including a rotor shaft having an inner shaft core with a first composition and an outer shaft portion surrounding at least some of the inner shaft core. The outer shaft portion is fabricated from a material having a different composition than the inner shaft core. For example, the inner shaft core could be fabricated from a material having high thermal conductivity, such as copper, while the outer shaft portion is fabricated from a material with lesser thermal conductivity, but greater strength, for example steel. The two-material shaft with a highly thermally conductive core serves to conduct heat from the interior of the electric machine to the housing, or to an exterior apparatus or structure.
