[0002] The bulb-shaped tubular turbine of a hydroelectric power station is an efficient and reliable hydroelectric generating equipment. The generator of this turbine is installed in a bulb-shaped shell, which is usually called a bubble head. Water flows through the outside of the bubble head, driving the turbine blades at the downstream end of the bubble head to rotate and drive the generator to generate electricity. A vertical shaft is provided at the upper end of the bubble head, which is used to install equipment and provide a passage for workers to enter and exit for maintenance. The busbar of the generator is installed in the shaft.

[0003] Since the outer wall of the bubble head and the outer wall of the shaft are in direct contact with the river water, the temperature of the river water is low, and the generator generates heat when running in the bubble head, making the temperature of the bubble head and the shaft higher. Since the inner wall of the shaft is provided with a metal layer, the thermal conductivity is higher than that of the surrounding non-metallic materials. The lower water temperature outside the shaft is transferred to the inner wall, causing the temperature of the metal inner wall of the shaft to be lower than the water vapor dew point temperature, thereby quickly forming condensation on the metal surface of the inner wall of the shaft, resulting in condensation and water accumulation in the shaft. The condensed water formed by the condensation easily drips onto the busbar at the outlet of the unit, reducing the insulation of the busbar, thereby generating arc discharge at the busbar insulation support or the horizontal section of the generator outlet lead wire. After condensation appears on the inner wall of the shaft, moisture appears around the busbar, resulting in insulation degradation and even grounding short circuit failure, which seriously threatens the safe operation of the unit and affects the power generation efficiency. However, there has been no good way to solve the condensation problem in the shaft of a hydroelectric power station for a long time. Summary of the invention
