Power generating device

Abstract

Provided is a power generating device capable of effectively cooling an expander, a power generator, and a control device even in the outdoors. In the power generating device, an expander driven by steam, a power generator coupled with and driven by the output shaft of the expander, and a control device are placed on a base and housed in a storage box. The storage box has a partition member provided upright from the base. The control device is housed in one side partitioned by the partition member, and the expander and the power generator are housed in the other side. The base is provided with a ventilation path for taking outside air into the storage box, and the ceiling portion of the storage box is provided with a net plate and a protective roof provided above and around the net plate with a predetermined space there between to enable air to be discharged outside. The expander and the power generator are installed securely on a frame provided upright on the base and set apart from the base.

1 . A power generating device,
 wherein an expander driven by steam, a power generator connected to and driven by an output shaft of the expander, and a control device are mounted on a base and housed in a storage box, and   wherein the storage box has a partition member, the partition member is provided upright on the base, the control device is housed in one of sides of the storage box divided by the partition member, and the expander and the power generator are housed in the other side thereof,   characterized in that   a ventilation path for introducing outside air to an inside of the storage box is provided in the base,   in a ceiling of the storage box, a net plate is provided, and a protective roof is provided above and around the net plate at a predetermined distance, whereby air can be discharged to the outside,   the expander and the power generator are fixed to the frame provided upright on the base, and   the expander and the power generator are separated from the base, and the power generator is arranged below the expander.   
     
     
         2 . The power generating device according to  claim 1 , wherein a blower sending air from a side of the control device to a side of the expander is provided in the partition member. 
     
     
         3 . The power generating device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the expander has the output shaft projected horizontally,   wherein the power generator has an input shaft projected horizontally,   wherein the output shaft and the input shaft are connected by a belt,   wherein in an attachment part for the expander in the frame, an adjustment part is provided which can move the expander vertically for a fixed distance, and   wherein in an attachment part for the power generator in the frame, an adjustment part is provided which can move the power generator vertically for a fixed distance.
