Abstract: A remotely adjustable orifice plate arrangement for a generator is provided. The arrangement includes an enclosed generator with an interior wall including an orifice through which a fluid flows. The arrangement also includes a first plate including an orifice and a remotely controllable motor. The first plate is coupled to the interior wall within a flow area of the generator such that at least a portion of the orifice overlaps the orifice of the interior wall. The arrangement also includes an adjustable orifice plate including an orifice wherein the adjustable orifice plate slides relative to the first plate to determine the size of a resultant orifice of the interior wall. The motor selectively controls the slideable movement of the adjustable orifice plate relative to the first plate and is controlled remotely from outside the enclosed generator. A method to remotely adjust fluid flow within an enclosed generator is also provided.
