Electric generator for vehicle has housing with tubular wall having inlet end section for connecting source of exhaust gas, which causes rotation of primary shaft to which a rotor is coupled

摘要

The electric generator (2) has a housing (3) with a tubular wall (31), which has an inlet end section (311) for connecting a source of exhaust gas. A ventilation opening (33) allows the exhaust gas to be blown out of the housing. A drive unit (4) with a primary shaft is arranged in the housing and has an impeller wheel (42) provided in the proximity of the inlet end section. The exhaust gas received from the source at the inlet end section causes the rotation of the primary shaft. A rotor is coupled to the primary shaft and rotates together with the shaft with respect to a stator, which is provided at a generator (5) for generating electrical power.
