What is a benefit of small kilovolt generators being air-cooled?

Air-cooled small kilovolt generators offer the distinct advantage of lower maintenance requirements compared to other cooling methods, such as liquid cooling systems. This is primarily because air-cooling systems do not involve the complexity of pumps, radiators, and coolant fluids, which can require regular checks and maintenance. An air-cooled generator minimizes potential points of failure, leading to reduced long-term upkeep.

In addition, the absence of liquid cooling components means that the generator is less likely to experience leaks or fluid-related issues, which further simplifies the maintenance process. Therefore, the operation and longevity of the generator are enhanced by the need for fewer service interventions, making it an attractive option for users looking for reliable and cost-effective power generation.
