Power generation apparatus, particularly for range expansion of electrically operated vehicle, has internal combustion engine and generator that is arranged on axis to output shaft of internal combustion engine

摘要

The power generation apparatus (1) has an internal combustion engine (5) and a generator (6) that is arranged on the axis to the output shaft (7) of the internal combustion engine, where the internal combustion engine and generator are arranged in housings (2,3) through which cooled air flows. The internal combustion engine and generator are arranged in a substantially tube-shaped cooling chamber (4) formed by the inner housing, where a supply air channel (8) leads into the cooling chamber on the side of the generator.
