Claims17
A wind power installation comprising:,
- a synchronous generator having a generator stator and a generator rotor;
- and
- a fluid cooling system for cooling the generator rotor, the fluid cooling system having at least one heat exchanger and at least one cooling passage, the at least one cooling passage being located in the generator rotor, the fluid cooling system being configured to allow cooling fluid to flow through the at least one heat exchanger and the at least one cooling passage.
(canceled)
A slowly rotating synchronous generator comprising:
- a generator stator, a generator rotor;
- and
- a fluid cooling system for cooling the generator rotor, wherein at least a portion of the fluid cooling system is provided in the generator rotor, wherein the fluid cooling system has at least one heat exchanger and at least one cooling passage, the at least one cooling passage being located in the generator rotor, the fluid cooling system being configured to allow cooling fluid to flow through the at least one heat exchanger and the at least one cooling passage.
