Abstract:
An airflow control arrangement for a direct-drive wind-turbine with a generator comprising a rotor and a stator, which airflow control arrangement comprises an outflow fan arranged to draw an exit airflow through an exit duct, which exit duct extends from an interior cavity of the stator to the exterior of the wind turbine. The invention further describes a direct-drive wind turbine comprising such an airflow control arrangement. The invention further describes a method of controlling an airflow in a direct-drive wind-turbine with a generator comprising a rotor and a stator is provided.
