Power generation system
First Claim
1. A power generation system comprising:
- an engine including an engine main body, a radiator that performs heat exchange of cooling water flowing inside the engine main body, and a fan that cools the radiator;
a power generator that converts torque acquired in the engine main body into electricity;
a load testing device that includes a plurality of resistors and that is configured to perform a loading test of the power generator;
a flow channel of a cooling medium; and
a switching device that performs changing a relative position of the load testing device with respect to the flow channel, in order to deviate the load testing device from the flow channel or to place the load testing device in the flow channel and on a downstream side of the radiator in the loading test.

Abstract
A power generation system including a load testing device in which a configuration component is less likely to be deteriorated is provided. A power generation system includes an engine including an engine main body, a radiator that performs heat exchange of cooling water flowing inside the engine main body, and a fan that cools an radiator. A power generator that converts torque acquired in the engine main body into electricity is included. A load testing device that includes a plurality of resistors and that is used to perform a loading test of the power generator is included. A switching device that performs at least one of changing a position of the load testing device and changing a flow channel of cooling air from the fan, in order to deviate the load testing device from the flow channel or to place the load testing device in the flow channel and on a downstream side of the radiator in the loading test is included.

5. A power generation system comprising:
-
an engine including an engine main body, a radiator that performs heat exchange of cooling water flowing inside the engine main body, and a fan that cools the radiator; a power generator that converts torque acquired in the engine main body into electricity; a load testing device that includes a plurality of resistors and that is configured to perform a loading test of the power generator; and a switching device that performs changing a flow channel of cooling air from the fan, in order to deviate the load testing device from the flow channel or to place the load testing device in the flow channel and on a downstream side of the radiator in the loading test, wherein an outlet of the flow channel includes a first outlet not facing the load testing device and a second outlet facing the load testing device, and the switching device includes a flow channel switching plate that shields one of the first outlet and the second outlet and that opens the other in order to change the flow channel. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
