Fan for Air Cooling System

[Rizalsyah]

Dear All,

Currently I'm working on a project to cool down the temperature of a gas turbine generator by using an air cooling system. The cooling system existing in this project is using a couple of fans installed in the rotor shaft and let the air sucked into the system from ambient. But lately, The temperature in generator winding seems to be high (around 110 oC) and this issue need to be analyzed.

Now the idea is to re-design of the ventilation or the fan sizing.
So Do you guys have any suggestion of what books or refenrences to use to finish this project ?. It's really hard to find calculations and formulas related to air cooling system, especially how to determine the proper fan size in this case.

Pls help me, and thk u guys..

Rizalsyah,

Do you have a diagram of your system? Look for books by Dave Steinberg. Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment should be a part of your library.
