I've watched a few videos in which engines are equipped with water-cooled alternators. These have been on German cars, Mercedes and Audi, and none others that I can recall.
What's the reason for these alternators? They seem overly complicated considering that millions of cars do just fine with just regular alternators. Are these found on cars other than German models? It seems a bit risky to run water and electricity in such close proximity. What safeguards are taken to prevent disaster?
