A gas cooled dynamoelectric machine is provided that is comprised of a rotor, a rotor winding comprising axially extending coils and concentric endwindings, and a plurality of spaceblocks located between adjacent endwindings thereby to define a plurality of cavities, each bounded by adjacent spaceblocks and adjacent endwindings. To enhance the heat transfer rate from the copper end turns of the field endwinding region, the downstream wall of at least one spaceblock is contoured to lower a suction pressure developed at the trailing edge of the spaceblock. In a preferred embodiment, the downstream wall of the spaceblock has a re-entrant contour to enhance the rotating cavity cooling flow.

摘要:
A gas cooled dynamoelectric machine is provided that includes a rotor having a body portion, axially extending coils, endwindings, and a plurality of spaceblocks disposed between the endwindings, so that a plurality of cavities are defined between mutually adjacent endwindings and spaceblocks. To increase endwinding cooling, at least one of the spaceblocks has a passage extending between first and second adjacent cavities to provide for cooling flow communication between the first and second cavities through the spaceblock. A flow deflector is preferably provided adjacent a radially inner end of one, the other, or both of the cavity facing surfaces of the spaceblock for directing flow into or out of the first and second cavities, respectively.
