Abstract: The present disclosure relates to probe sheaths adapted for a probe housing positioned within a turbomachine fluid flow path. A probe sheath according to the disclosure can include: a non-metallic sheathing material having at least one opening shaped to enclose a first portion of a fluid probe therein, the non-metallic sheathing material being sized for placement within an interior cavity of the probe housing; and a metallic sheathing material mechanically coupled to a first end of the non-metallic sheathing material and sized for placement within the interior cavity of the probe housing. The metallic sheathing material may include at least one opening in fluid communication with the at least one opening of the non-metallic sheathing material, and may be shaped to enclose a second portion of the fluid probe therein.

Abstract: A wind turbine having a generator is provided. The generator includes a rotor and a stator having a stator lamination, one or more flange rings and one or more core rings. The stator lamination includes a plurality of axial flow passages and the one or more core rings include a plurality of core ring axial flow passages that are aligned with the plurality of axial flow passages in the stator lamination. The plurality of axial flow passages in the stator lamination have a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: A generator includes a housing and a stator arranged within the housing. The stator includes a first end that extends to a second end, and a plurality of axial flow passages extending between the first and second ends. The generator also includes at least one air flow re-direction member provided on at least one of the first and second ends of the stator. The at least one air flow re-direction member fluidly connects adjacent ones of the plurality of axial flow passages. The at least one air flow re-direction member guides an air flow passing though one of the plurality of axial flow passages in a first direction into an adjacent one of the plurality of axial flow passages in a second direction, the second direction being distinct from the first direction.
