    Abstract: 919,700. Cooling systems for dynamo-electric machines. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. July 16, 1959 [July 24, 1958], No. 24464/59. Class 64(3). [Also in Group XXIX] A cooling system in which a coolant such as oil or purified water, is circulated, from a reservoir 5, e.g. by a pump 6 through passages formed in the coils 2 of a dynamo-electric machine such as a generator and thereafter cooled in a heatexchanger 12, comprises on the coil inlet side a first temperature-sensitive arrangement 18, 20, 21, a proportioning device such as a valve 10 which controls the amount of fluid passing through the heat-exchanger and a total-flow determining device which may comprise a valve 9 or the pump 6, and on the coil outlet side a second temperature-sensitive arrangement, 15, 16, 17; these temperature-sensitive arrangements being connected to the proportioning device to adjust the temperature of the fluid supplied to the winding. In the form shown, the device 15,16,17 acts to maintaina constant coil outflow of the coolant by regulating through the valve 9 the rate of flow of coolant. A throttled by-pass 7a is provided around the valve 9 to ensure a minimum flow of coolant in the system should the valve 9 be closed. The coolant inlet temperature is maintained constant by the valve 10 through the device 18, 20, 21. In a further form described, the valve 9 is omitted and the total-flow determining device comprises merely the pump 6, which supplies a substantially constant quantity of coolant to the coil inlet (Fig. 3, not shown), the system including a computing type relay which senses the inlet and outlet temperatures of the coolant passing through the coil, averages them, and positions the valve 10 so that a constant average between these temperatures is maintained. In yet a further form described (Fig. 1, not shown), the control mechanism for operating the valve 9 operates jointly in accordance with the load imposed on the generator and the outlet temperature of the coolant to maintain this temperature constant when the generator is operating above a predetermined load condition. When the load drops, the quantity of coolant admitted to the coils is reduced by the valve 9 to raise its temperature to the desired constant value. Below a predetermined loading such as 40% when the heat in the coils is insufficient to maintain the coolant outlet temperature to this value even with the valve 9 closed, a proportional relay element (24; Fig. 1, not shown) modifies the coolant outlet temperature signal received through the temperature-sensitive device 15, 16, 17 such that the valve 10 is then operated to direct less coolant through the heatexchanger hence raising the coolant inlet temperature. The coolant may be warmed up prior to starting the generator by means of a heating coil 5a located in the reservoir 5 or by passing a heating fluid through the heat-exchanger 12. A gaseous fluid coolant may be used.
