- the inflow air W1 from the windward flows from the front end of the nacelle 4 and is discharged downward as exhaust air W2, or flows in from the front end of the nacelle 4 and is discharged from the side vent hole 13 as exhaust air W3. .
- the cooler 7 is installed in a space surrounded by the flange 14 and the side support 20.
- the cooler 7 installed in the depth direction is illustrated by a dotted line.
- a lower part of the cooler 7 is provided with a blade-like support member 10 (dotted line). Therefore, the upper surface of the cooler 7 is supported by the flange portion 14, both side surfaces are supported by the left and right side surface support portions 20, and the lower surface is supported by the blade-like support member 10.
- the blade-like support member 10 also functions as a rectifying plate for smoothly guiding the exhaust air W2 and W3 to the outside.

- the exhaust effect can be enhanced by the exhaust W3.
- the collar portion 14 on the windward side from the cooler 7 the effect of drawing external wind into the cooler can be enhanced.
- the present invention by making the wind receiving area and the exhaust area approximately the same, deceleration of the flowing wind can be suppressed and exhaust can be effectively performed.
- the side ventilation holes 13 By installing the side ventilation holes 13 on both side surfaces of the nacelle, the air is exhausted in contrast to the wind from the front surface, so that the wind load acting on both side surfaces of the nacelle is offset and the load is unbalanced. Can be prevented.
- the cooler 7 can be installed on the front surface of the nacelle, it is possible to reduce the wind receiving area for the nacelle and to reduce the wind load. Further, since the four sides around the cooler 7 can be supported only by the nacelle support structure, the nacelle can be reduced in weight. Accordingly, the weight of the structure that supports the nacelle can be reduced.
