Abstract :
As a frontier cooling technology in the electric machine field, the evaporative cooling technology has significant advantages in cooling performance, insulativity, maintainability, and reliability. These advantages make the evaporative cooling technology fulfill the requirements of cooling system in hydro, turbo, and wind power generators. However, a suitable evaporative cooling medium is hard to obtain. This paper proposes the standards of choosing the cooling medium for the evaporative cooling system.
