Process integration in electrical power generation
A system includes an electric generator, a power electronics system, and a heat exchanger. The electric generator includes a turbine wheel, a rotor, and a stator. The turbine wheel is configured to receive process gas and rotate in response to expansion of the process gas flowing into an inlet of the turbine wheel and out of an outlet of the turbine wheel. The rotor is configured to rotate with the turbine wheel. The electric generator is configured to generate electrical power upon rotation of the rotor within the stator. The power electronics system is configured to convert the electrical power to specified power characteristics. The heat exchanger includes a first side in fluid communication with the process gas and a second side in fluid communication with a fluid stream from a second system. The heat exchanger is configured to cool the fluid stream using the process gas.

INTERNAL CLOSED LOOP COOLING
An electric motor having internal closed loop cooling includes a cooling chamber coupled to the stator cover of the electric motor. A fan is positioned to circulate air through the interior of the electric motor and the cooling chamber. A heat sink in the cooling chamber removes heat from the circulating air. The heat sink may be coupled to a fluid cooling jacket to transfer heat thereto or therefrom.
