The Volvo S70 Alternator is the onboard power plant in the car that charges the battery and powers all the electrical devices in the car whenever the engine is started. It consists of a changeable magnetic field, a stator, and a rotor which rotates within a two-piece aluminum shell. This Alternator depends on the fixed distance between rotor and stator to generate the maximum amount of energy. The movement causes alternating current, which is then rectified into direct current by built-in diodes that the battery prefers. The rotor and the crankshaft belt are connected to each other by a front-mounted pulley, and the fan on the shaft drives air through the unit before heat can harm the electronics. The rotor field coil is fed with electricity through brushes inside, and the diodes are cooled by heat-sink fins located around the rectifier. The voltage should not fall too low or too high, and older Volvo models have a dedicated regulator, which may be clamped to the outside of the case, but later models incorporate that task into the internal circuit and even allow the powertrain control module to set the field current to make finer adjustments and achieve better fuel economy. Throughout its production of the S70 there was the traditional field-coil design and not a permanent-magnet design like with small equipment, although later models in the Volvo lineup had computer control rather than a separate regulator. In sum, the Alternator is small and strong enough to ensure that Volvo electronics remain safe with every turn of the crankshaft having been converted into clean and constant power.
