Description
- The present invention relates to a device for cooling electrical or electronic equipment in a turbomachine.
- A turbomachine includes a certain number of pieces of electrical or electronic equipment, such as units for controlling actuators of variable-geometry elements, which pieces of equipment generate a large amount of heat that needs to be removed in order to maintain acceptable temperatures for the electrical equipment and also for certain elements of the turbomachine situated in the vicinity of said equipment.
- Known cooling devices generally comprise means for circulating a cooling fluid such as oil, fuel, or air, and they are often bulky and complex to implement. Furthermore, those devices present risks of leakage, and they require regular maintenance operations, which are lengthy and expensive.
- A particular object of the invention is to provide a solution to those problems that is effective and inexpensive.
- For this purpose, the invention provides a device for cooling electrical equipment in a turbomachine, the device comprising at least one vortex tube having an inlet connected to pressurized air feed means, and a cold air outlet connected to means for cooling the electrical equipment, wherein the vortex tube is fed with pressurized air via a heat exchanger having a secondary circuit fed with cooling fluid by the outlet of the means for cooling the electrical equipment or by the hot air outlet of the vortex tube.
- In known manner, a vortex tube, also known as a Ranque tube, serves to uses the vortex effect to create a flow of cold air and a flow of hot air derived from a flow of compressed air at an intermediate temperature. The inlet air is injected tangentially into a chamber connected to the tube so as to create a rapidly swirling flow that is directed towards one end of the tube, which end is fitted with a conical outlet valve. A portion of the air leaves the tube via said valve, while another portion of the air is reflected on said valve and then progresses along the tube in the opposite direction with swirling motion inside the injected air, while yielding heat to said air, and then leaving via the opposite end of the tube.
- The cooling device of the invention has one or more vortex tubes that are fed with pressurized air taken by suitable means from a compressor of the turbomachine or from an annular duct for passing a secondary air flow such as the fan duct of the turbomachine. The cold air outlet from each vortex tube is connected to a heat exchanger associated with the equipment for cooling, or to a system for injecting air into the electrical equipment for cooling.
- Vortex tubes are simple to make and to implement and they enable cold air to be produced with resources that are locally available. They are fed with air at a pressure of several bars (typically lying in the range 5 bar to 10 bar) and they generate cold air at a temperature that may be about 50° C. lower than the temperature of the inlet air. Furthermore, vortex tubes are inexpensive, reliable, and have a lifetime that is relatively long without requiring special maintenance, since they do not include any moving parts.
- The cooling device may include a heat exchanger having a primary circuit with an inlet connected to the outlet of the means for taking air and an outlet connected to the inlet of the vortex tube, and including at least one secondary circuit that is fed with cooling fluid.
- At least some of the air that has been used for cooling the electrical equipment can be injected into a secondary circuit of the heat exchanger in order to assist in cooling the air taken from the turbomachine. Similarly, the air coming from the hot outlet of the vortex tube can be injected into a secondary circuit of the heat exchanger for assisting in cooling the air taken in, providing its temperature is lower than that of the air taken from the turbomachine. The heat exchanger may thus have two secondary circuits fed with cooling air, one by the outlet from the means for cooling the electrical equipment, the other by the hot air outlet from the vortex tube.
- The vortex tube may be of the double-circuit type, in which case it includes a second inlet tube connected to the pressurized air feed means, with this disposition making it possible to double efficiency.
- It is also possible to use a plurality of vortex tubes associated in series or in parallel for cooling the electrical or electronic equipment.
- The invention also provides a turbomachine, including an electrical or electronic equipment cooling device as described above.

The air at the outer periphery of the swirling flow is relatively hotter while the air situated at the inner periphery of the swirling flow is relatively cooler. - A
frustoconical control valve 56 is mounted in thesecond end 22 of the tube and co-operates with the inside surface of the tube to define an annular air outlet channel for the air situated at the outer periphery of the swirling flow, i.e. for the hot air (arrows 58).
