Why does the nacelle always need a powerful cooling system?
Question 12 options:
Even with a large amount of lubricating fluid, the gear box generates an enormous amount of heat
The direct sunlight shining on the outer surface heats up the interior of the nacelle
The high-speed shaft does not use low friction bearings to support its rotation
The generator is not 100% efficient in converting mechanical power to electrical power. Some of the energy is wasted as heat
