Abstract

[0002] A generator is a mechanical device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is driven by a turbine, steam turbine, diesel engine or other power machinery, and converts the energy generated by water flow, air flow, fuel combustion or nuclear fission into mechanical energy and transmits it to the generator, which then converts it into electrical energy. During the power generation process of the generator, a large amount of heat will be generated due to the mechanical drive, which needs to be cooled and dissipated through a cooler.
