POWER GENERATION APPARATUS

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The power generation apparatus (1) has an internal combustion engine (5) and a generator (6) that is arranged on the axis to the output shaft (7) of the internal combustion engine, where the internal combustion engine and generator are arranged in housings (2,3) through which cooled air flows. The internal combustion engine and generator are arranged in a substantially tube-shaped cooling chamber (4) formed by the inner housing, where a supply air channel (8) leads into the cooling chamber on the side of the generator. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Power generation apparatus, particularly for range expansion of an electrically operated vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The power generation apparatus has an internal combustion engine and a generator that is arranged on the axis to the output shaft of the internal combustion engine, where the internal combustion engine and generator are arranged in housings through which cooled air flows, and thus increases power density, minimizes sound emission and enables a compact design. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a longitudinal sectional view of a power generation apparatus. 1 : Power generation apparatus 2,3 : Housings 4 : Cooling chamber 5 : Internal combustion engine 6 : Generator 7 : Output shaft 8 : Supply air channel.
