Abstract:
In a first aspect of the invention there is provided a generator for a wind turbine defining a central generator axis. The generator includes a stator support frame and an environmental conditioning module removably attached to the stator support frame. The environmental conditioning module includes a heat exchanger and an air mover supported by a module housing. The environmental conditioning module further includes fluid interface connections associated with the heat exchanger, the fluid interface connections being releasably connectable to a fluid supply system associated with the heat exchanger, and electrical interface connections associated with the air blower, the electrical interface connections being releasably connectable to an electrical supply system associated with the air mover.
