Abstract: The object of the present invention is to achieve a wind power generation device that reduces effects of a tower shadow. In order to solve the problem, the wind power generation device related to the present invention includes a nacelle that includes a generator, blades that are connected to the generator of the nacelle through a shaft, receive wind, and rotate, and a tower that is disposed upstream of the wind with respect to the blades and supports the nacelle in a vertical direction, in which the tower includes a first portion having a tubular structure standing up in the vertical direction from an installation base section of the tower, and a second portion connecting the first portion and the nacelle to each other and having a ventilating structure that allows some of wind from the upstream side of the wind to go through at a position where the blade overlaps with the tower.

Abstract: A wind power generation system includes: blades configured to be rotated by wind; a generator configured to be driven by the rotation of the blades to generate power; a nacelle supporting the blades; and a tower supporting the nacelle rotatably. The wind power generation system is configured to receive the wind at a side opposite to a side of the nacelle on which the blades are provided. The system includes a radiator configured to dissipate heat in the nacelle through a cooling medium. The radiator is provided outside the nacelle on an upwind side of the nacelle. The radiator is provided with an intake surface thereof facing an upwind direction. A path is formed downstream of the radiator to guide the wind that has passed the radiator.

Abstract: A structure for mounting a cooling fan (30) includes a spider (31) and blades (32) at free ends of mounting arms (31c) of the spider (31). A rotation center portion (31b) of the spider (31) is mounted on a rotating shaft (33) through a fan adaptor (60), the rotating shaft (33) being driven by an engine (27). A partition member (70) for closing gaps in the spider (31) is mounted on the fan adaptor (60). As a result of this configuration, the gaps between the mounting arms (31c) of the spider (31) can be reliably closed, and therefore the backflow of air from the downstream side (high pressure side) of the cooling fan (30) to the upstream side (low pressure side) thereof can be prevented.

Abstract: Provided is a wind power generation system that is less likely to change its cooling performance depending on the wind direction. In order to solve the above problem, the wind power generation system of the invention includes blades adapted to rotate upon receiving wind, a generator for performing a power generating operation by rotating a rotor together with rotation of the blades, a nacelle for supporting the blades via a main shaft, a tower for rotatably supporting the nacelle, a power conditioning system or transformer accommodated in the tower, and a plurality of radiators disposed on an outer peripheral side of the tower for cooling the power conditioning system or the transformer. The radiators positioned substantially at the same height are arranged at substantially equal intervals in a circumferential direction of the tower.

Abstract: An efficient and quiet construction machine has a heat exchanger in which the air flowing out from an axial flow fan avoids collision with the engine. The axial flow fan includes a plurality of blade pieces, a fan ring which guides a flow of air to the axial flow fan, a heat exchanger which is disposed on an upstream side or a downstream side of the flow of air with respect to the axial flow fan, and a structure which is disposed on the downstream side of the flow of air with respect to the axial flow fan. The fan ring includes a suction-side rounded part which reduces a flow channel on a suction side and a discharge-side rounded part which expands the flow channel on a discharge side, and each of the blade pieces is inclined at a sweep forward angle from an axial center toward a rotation direction.

Abstract: First cooling air (50) enters an engine room (1) through a cooling air inlet port (7a) from the exterior of the engine room (1), and is throttled by a suction tube (8a) after passing heat exchangers such as an intercooler (6a), an oil cooler (6b) and a radiator (6c), followed by entering a centrifugal fan (4). The first cooling air (50) is then blown off toward an outer circumference of the centrifugal fan (4). Second cooling air enters the engine room (1) through cooling air inlet ports (7b, 7b) from the exterior of the engine room (1), and flows around an engine (5), various electric equipments such as an alternator (10), and an oil pan (14) while cooling them. The second cooling air is then throttled by a suction tube (8b) before entering the centrifugal fan (4), and blown off toward the outer circumference of the centrifugal fan (4). Two streams of the first and second cooling air (50, 51) are discharged to the exterior through an exhaust port (9).
