Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The disclosure provides an apparatus including a temperature sensor (242) configured to monitor a temperature of a generator component of a power train assembly (200). The power train assembly (200) includes a power train component in thermal communication with a cooling fluid and mounted on a same shaft as the generator component. A controller (240) is coupled to the temperature sensor (242) and a heat exchange circuit (232) for adjusting a temperature of the cooling fluid. The controller (240) calculates a target temperature for the generator component based on a target thrust bearing parameter or a target vibration parameter for the power train assembly (200) and adjusts a delivery of the cooling fluid to the power train component based on a difference between the monitored temperature and the target temperature.
