TURBOGENERATOR: DESIGNING AND LAYOUT DEVELOPMENT

This article discusses the development of turbogenerator model intended for energy units of small scale and distributed power generation. Turbogenerator model should be developed on the basis of computational fluid dynamics, which permits to adjust model design and to determine variables of the cooling system which provides required temperature mode during operation of electric machine. Test results of two variants of turbogenerator model are presented which were analyzed from the point of view of reasonability (operability) of the adopted technical solutions. Based on the analysis of the two variants of turbogenerator, model optimum variables of the developed design were selected and used for its fabrication. Appropriate conclusions have been made with respect to main trends and properties.
