Principle Of Wind Turbine Air Cooler

Principle of wind turbine air cooler

A wind turbine is a power device that converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate, and finally outputs alternating current. It is composed of components such as a speed safety mechanism and an energy storage device. The working principle of the wind turbine is relatively simple. The wind wheel rotates under the action of the wind, which converts the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of the wind wheel shaft, and the generator rotates under the drive of the wind wheel shaft. Power generation, broadly speaking, wind energy is also solar energy, so it can also be said that a wind turbine is a thermal energy generator that uses the sun as a heat source and the atmosphere as a working medium. Then, the speed of rotation is increased through the speed increaser to promote the generator to generate electricity. When generating electricity through the wind, the generator will continue to generate heat, and if the heat cannot be processed in time, it will affect the generator, not only affecting The power generation efficiency also affects the service life of the generator.

The air cooler of the generator set uses cooling water to cool the air with higher temperature from the generator and then sends it to the generator, and the heat generated is taken away by the cooling water.
