Abstract
A component for connection between a generator and a prime mover in a power generation system is disclosed. The component may be an adaptor (20, 50, 110) or a bracket (80, 90), and may be arranged to house a fan. The component comprises a rear member (24), a front member (22), and a plurality of cross members (26) which connect the front member to the rear member. The cross members are wedge-shaped and/or lie at an angle with respect to a radial direction. The component may be arranged to surround a fan. The component may facilitate airflow and enhance thermal performance while being efficient from a structural and cost perspective.
