Abstract:
A method for cooling an electricity generator (50) for delivering electricity to a first rotor (60), the first rotor being suitable for being rotated relative to a stationary structure, the method being characterized in that the electricity generator is placed in a chamber (62) arranged inside the first rotor, and in that it comprises the following steps: a) transferring heat produced by the generator to a cooling fluid, thereby vaporizing the fluid in an evaporator (64); b) transporting the vaporized fluid to a condenser; and c) condensing the fluid in the condenser, the heat delivered by the fluid being transmitted to the air surrounding the condenser.
