Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bearing for a wind turbine, the use of the bearing and a method to control the temperature of the bearing is provided. A bearing for a wind turbine comprises an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring and the outer ring are prepared and arranged in a way to rotate with respect to each other. The inner ring comprises at least one channel. The channel is prepared and arranged in a way that air flows along inside the channel so that excess heat of the inner ring is removed by the airflow in the channel.
