For a high-speed electrical alternator, the rotor outer banding and stator inner liner are typically made of high strength graphite epoxy composites due to their high strength and stiffness. Machine structural integrity at high rotating speeds degrades significantly as the composite resins lose their strength at high temperatures. The magnitude of the frictional windage losses generated in the air gaps and the splits of the windage losses between the rotor and stator become crucial to the machine design since these windage losses greatly influence the rotor outer and stator inner surface temperatures. Splits of windage losses generated by an enclosed high-speed composite rotor in low air pressure environments were investigated by The University of Texas at Austin Center for Electromechanics and described in a companion paper. The windage splits are dictated by the air temperature gradients at the rotor outer and stator inner surfaces. Unique heating, cooling, and component material properties of a typical high-speed alternator during repetitive-discharge events make its transient air-gap windage splits very much different from those of the test setup. This paper describes transient windage splits in integrated rotor and stator thermal analyses of a high-speed alternator designed for multiple discharges. The transient windage splits in the air-gap air flow were obtained through multiple iterations on windage losses, air-gap air temperatures, and rotor and stator surface temperatures. |
