Liquid-cooled machine
View Patent ↗A machine includes an inner air-cooled rotor and an outer liquid-cooled stator, in which the stator includes a radial cooling arrangement arranged to convey a cooling liquid radially in the stator.
1. A machine comprising an inner air-cooled rotor and an outer liquid-cooled stator, wherein said stator comprises a radial cooling arrangement arranged to convey a cooling liquid radially in said stator, said stator comprises axial cable windings and radial air ducts for conveying cooling air from said rotor out of said machine, characterized in that said radial cooling arrangement comprises conduit means for conveying said cooling liquid between said cable windings and said radial air ducts to directly cool said cable windings as well as shield the cable windings from air conveyed in the radial air ducts.
2. The machine according to claim 1 , wherein said radial cooling arrangement forms a duct liner for said radial air ducts.
3. The machine according to claim 1 , wherein said conduit means comprises a rectangular tube for conveying said cooling liquid therein.
4. The machine according to claim 3 , wherein said rectangular tube comprises an inner divider to form a two-way conduit.
5. The machine according to claim 1 , wherein said cooling arrangement comprises a first inlet part, a second two-way part, a third middle part, a fourth two-way part and a fifth outlet part.
6. The machine according to claim 5 , wherein said second, third and fourth part partly surrounds a plurality of said axial cable excitation windings.
7. The machine according to claim 5 , wherein said cooling arrangement comprises a transfer chamber for the second two-way part as well as for the fourth two-way part.
8. The machine according to claim 4 , wherein the two-way conduit comprises a diagonal bulkhead.
9. The machine according to claim 1 , wherein the conduit means are made of metal.
