Waste heat recovery system generator encapsulation

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes a generator configured to receive a flow of an organic working fluid. The generator includes a stator and a permanent magnet rotor configured to rotate within the stator to generate electricity. The generator further includes one or more components disposed within the generator and configured to be exposed to the flow of the organic working fluid. The one or more components each include an underlying component, and an encapsulant configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid to inhibit contact between the underlying component and the organic working fluid.

1. A system comprising:
a generator configured to receive a flow of an organic working fluid that flows at least through the generator or around an exterior of the generator within a casing, wherein the generator comprises:
a stator;a permanent magnet rotor that rotates about an axis within the stator to generate electricity; andone or more components disposed within the generator in one or more positions exposed to the flow of the organic working fluid, wherein the one or more components each comprise an underlying component, and an encapsulant that withstands exposure to the organic working fluid to inhibit contact between the underlying component and the organic working fluid.
