Abstract:
A wind turbine comprising a pod and an aerodynamic rotor having a rotor head or a spinner. The rotor head or spinner is arranged in that case in the afflux flow direction of the wind in front of the rotor blade plane. Provided in or at the rotor head or the spinner of the rotor is a mist eliminator which rotates with the rotor head or spinner. The mist eliminator has an end which is in the form of an opening in the rotor head or the spinner. Air can enter through that end and flow through the mist eliminator in such a way that substantially water droplet-free air is present at the outlet of the mist eliminator, and can be used for cooling the generator.
