[0002] Oil mist leakage from the thrust bearings, upper guide bearings, and lower guide bearings of hydroelectric generators can contaminate equipment such as the generator rotor poles and stator windings. When oil mist combines with dust, it adheres to the insulation layer over a long period, affecting the unit's heat dissipation and corroding the generator windings, reducing their insulation performance, accelerating aging, shortening the generator's lifespan, and easily causing short circuits or breakdowns in the generator coils, threatening the safe operation of the entire generator unit. Bearing oil mist not only pollutes the environment but also increases operating costs, the workload of on-site personnel, and reduces unit reliability. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a device to solve the problem of oil mist in the guide bearings of hydroelectric power stations, addressing the issues mentioned above.
