Background technology
Along with the development of power electronic technology, the structural design of high-power converter (comprising wind electric converter, photovoltaic DC-to-AC converter) is more and more compacter, like this, causes heat more and more concentrated on the one hand, causes on the other hand heat radiation more difficult.Past solution is normally arranged on the heater element in current transformer (as IGBT, rectifier bridge) etc. on the radiator of copper (aluminium) system, and on cabinet (shell) body of this radiator, installs fan additional, and the air channel of matching design allows heat fall apart to outside.But along with the raising of power density, the increase of current transformer caloric value, the air-cooled requirement that can not meet heat radiation.In recent years, water-cooling technology has had development at full speed, and it has not only surpassed as radiating modes such as air-cooled, heat pipes on radiating effect, and in noise control, the aspects such as applied environment adaptability have also reached good effect.Therefore,, high-power, in the heat radiation of the power electronic product of high power density, water-cooling technology is used widely.
After adopting water-cooling, for the sealing IP grade of current transformer rack can be done more, simultaneously also in order to meet the instructions for use of various adverse circumstances, except the IGBT of high heat flux adopts the radiating mode of direct water-cooling (by liquid cooling heat radiator by the dissipation of heat of IGBT outside rack), other heater element of current transformer interior of equipment cabinet (comprises inductance, copper bar, contactor, circuit breaker, capacitance module, fuse etc.) common employing first transfers heat to the air of current transformer interior of equipment cabinet, air after being heated enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger in converter cabinet under the driving of blower fan, effect due to the temperature difference, the heat of air will pass to gas-liquid heat exchanger, the heat of gas-liquid heat exchanger will pass to the cooling fluid of gas-liquid heat exchanger further, mobile cooling fluid is taken this heat out of current transformer rack, enter in outside heat exchanger and (be generally air-cooled heat exchanger), finally by this outside heat exchanger, heat is delivered in atmosphere, thereby reach cooling object, as shown in Figure 1.
According to the first law of thermodynamics, heat can only be delivered to cryogenic object from high temp objects.In above-mentioned narrated heat transfer process, existence due to thermal resistance, the temperature of current transformer rack internal heat generation element must be greater than the air themperature in rack, and the air themperature in rack must be greater than the temperature of gas-liquid heat exchanger, and the temperature of gas-liquid heat exchanger must be greater than the temperature of cooling fluid; Same, the coolant temperature in current transformer rack must be greater than extraneous ambient temperature, could meet heat and from the heater element in cabinet, be delivered to the process of current transformer outside air.
Therefore, the air themperature in rack generally can be than high 10 degree~30 degree of ambient temperature, and regional area even can be higher.For example, when ambient temperature is 45 degree, it is even higher that the air themperature in rack will reach 70 degree.
As everyone knows, one of principal element that affects device useful life and reliability is its ambient temperature of using.Adopt the current transformer of water-cooling, in its cabinet, air themperature is high more a lot of than ambient temperature, in order to guarantee useful life and the reliability of device, generally need to use nonstandard resistant to elevated temperatures device to solve, and adopt the cost of nonstandard resistant to elevated temperatures device to be multiplied.If but do not use high temperature resistant device, will there are frequently various faults in current transformer, the periodic replacement of device and periodic maintenance cost will be higher.
