TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas turbine generator, specifically relates to a motor cooling unit and generator for gas turbine. BACKGROUND
[0002] The generator for gas turbine realizes the dual functions of starting and power generation by utilizing the reversible principle of motor. Before the ignition of the gas turbine, the motor drives the gas turbine to accelerate to idle speed, and then the gas turbine is ignited by oil injection, which in turn drags the motor to generate electricity, thereby converting mechanical energy into electrical energy to meet the electrical energy requirements of the equipment. The motor is widely used in various industrial and daily equipment. Since heat is generated during operation, if the heat is not dissipated in time, the motor will be overheated, which will affect the efficiency and service life of the motor, and even cause failure. The task of motor cooling is to dissipate the heat generated by internal losses of the motor, so that the temperature rise of each part of the motor is maintained within the standard specified range, and the internal temperature is homogenized. Therefore, it is necessary to cool the motor to ensure its stable operation and prolong its service life.
[0003] The existing motor cooling schemes mainly include air cooling and liquid cooling. Generally, open-type motors use air in the environment to enter the motor interior for cooling, and the cold air directly takes away the heat of the motor and discharges it to the surrounding environment. The liquid cooling system usually designs a closed water channel in the motor interior, and uses liquid circulation to take away the heat. For example, the Chinese patent "Motor, power assembly, power equipment and motor cooling method" with application number 2017711083873.3 belongs to the traditional liquid cooling method.
