Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for cooling or cleaning a slip ring assembly of a generator of a wind turbine. The slip ring assembly is at least partially enclosed in a slip ring compartment. In addition, the slip ring assembly includes an electrically conductive slip ring mounted to the rotatable shaft and a fixed conductive ring assembly having slip-ring contacting members mounted thereon. The conduit assembly is configured to direct fluid into the slip ring compartment so as to cool or clean the slip ring compartment. Further, the conduit assembly extends from a first end to a second end. More specifically, the first end is configured at or before an inlet of the generator assembly, whereas the second end is configured at the slip ring compartment.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及用于冷却或清洁风力涡轮机的发电机的滑环组件的系统和方法。 滑环组件至少部分地封闭在滑环隔室中。 此外，滑环组件包括安装到可旋转轴的导电滑环和安装在其上的滑环接触构件的固定导电环组件。 导管组件被构造成将流体引导到滑环隔室中，以便冷却或清洁滑环隔室。 此外，导管组件从第一端延伸到第二端。 更具体地，第一端构造在发电机组件的入口之前或之前，而第二端构造在滑环隔室处。
