Abstract
The concept for a hydrogen cooled alutinum cryogenic generator was presented by Schlicher and Oberly in 1985. Following their lead, this paper describes the thermal design of a high voltage dc, multimegawatt generator of high power density. The rotor and stator are cooled by saturated liquid and supercritical hydrogen respectively. The brushless exciter on the same shaft is also cooled by liquid hydrogen. Component development testing is well underway and some of the test results concerning the thermohydraulic performance of the conductors are reported. The aluminum cryogenic generator’s characteristics are attractive for hydrogen economy applications.
