Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009135509A2] The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle which is located at the upper end of the tower, is rotatably mounted in relation to the vertical tower axis and has an interior that is delimited by a housing, a rotor that is mounted rotatably in relation to the nacelle, runs transversally to the tower axis and can be made to rotate about the rotor axis by an air stream that impinges on the rotor in a flow direction running approximately parallel to the rotor axis, the nacelle housing having a convex or level flow conduction surface for an air stream flowing in the flow direction and an air inlet assembly located on the housing with an air inlet for supplying air to the interior. The air inlet assembly has a recess in the flow conduction surface extending towards the air inlet opening in the flow direction and the air inlet opening is located between a delimitation surface of the recess and the adjoining region of the flow conduction surface.
