Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for cooling components of wind turbines.
  • the state of the art is the use of conventional transformers in which the losses to be dissipated are dissipated by radiators and fans. These are usually installed side by side on the boiler wall of the transformer. A large number of radiators are required for this. Fans for vertical or horizontal air circulation are attached to these radiators. In the case of wind farm transformers on land, noise requirements must also be observed, which leads to the use of slowly rotating, low-noise fans. In order to still achieve the cooling capacity, a larger number of fans are therefore required - with the associated higher acquisition and operating costs.
  • a further serious disadvantage is the guarantee of corrosion protection and degree of protection due to the aggressive environmental conditions, especially in the offshore area.
  • the fans generally have an opening for condensation, which leads to problems and thus to failures in the climatic conditions at sea , Furthermore, the fans require large amounts of energy that are provided by the system and therefore also incur costs.
  • a control cabinet with switching devices, motor protection switches and monitoring devices on the transformer is required to control the fans.
  • the external wiring between the fan control cabinet and fans means additional effort.
  • the fan control cabinet and the Fans themselves also require inspection and maintenance (possibly repair work), which is associated with considerable costs, particularly in offshore systems. Since maintenance work cannot always be carried out in the offshore area due to the weather, the use of low-maintenance and highly available components is of particular importance.
  • transformer is only an example for each electrical and / or mechanical system.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an effective and simple cooling of transformers.
  • the aim of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the inventive use of the wind that is always present when operating wind power plants and the inventive design of the transformer and its components make it possible to achieve an effective and simple dissipation of the thermal energy generated in the transformer. This also reduces the manufacturing and operating costs of the transformer.
  • This wind fading not only eliminates the fan control cabinet, the cabling and the fans themselves, but also the temperature measuring devices
  • the function of wind turbines presupposes the presence of a stronger air flow.
  • the flowing medium can also be a liquid.
  • the system according to the invention can also be used in a flow field under water. According to the present invention, a method is provided in which a flowing medium flows around an energy converter, for example a generator, which develops an associated higher heat through increased power, the heat due to the structural design of the transformer and that with the Transformer-connected cooling elements is effectively removed with the help of the flowing medium.
  • this air flow is used to cool the transformer.
  • the invention also makes use of the fact that the air flow automatically increases with a higher load on the transformer.
  • the transformer is designed so that the natural air flow flows around its outer surface and the cooling elements.
  • the length of the cooling elements is designed so that they form a large cross-sectional area for the circulating medium (wind).
  • the depth of the cooling elements is designed so that the air flow resistance does not become too high and turbulent flow through the cooling air is achieved.
  • the cooling elements are arranged in such a way that they do not mutually stand in the slipstream. The spacing and arrangement of the cooling elements are selected so that the boiler of the transformer itself is reached by the air flow.
  • the outer skin of the transformer is designed so that it acts as a flow guide for the cooling elements and itself.
  • the transformer is designed in such a way that connection technology and accessories are be arranged so that they do not obstruct the flow of cooling air.
  • additional heat-emitting surfaces are attached to the outer skin of the transformer, which surfaces are expediently placed in areas with favorable coolant flow conditions. Depending on the flow conditions, these surfaces can be attached horizontally, vertically or at an angle.
  • the shape and arrangement of these surfaces is selected so that on the one hand there is maximum coverage with the cooling medium air and at the same time a disturbance in the blowing of other heat-emitting parts is avoided.
  • the mechanically required stiffeners of the boiler are arranged so that they do not hinder the natural blowing of the heat-emitting parts.
  • the stiffeners and additional cooling surfaces can be designed in such a way that they serve as a flow guiding device.
  • the design of the boiler and the cooling elements takes place in such a way that mutually irradiating surfaces are avoided or reduced and almost the entire surface of the boiler can emit heat through radiation.
  • the cooling elements are designed so that an effective heat exchange within the cooling elements is guaranteed.
  • the width, spacing and diameter of the cooling channels, as well as the materials used promote an exchange of thermal energy over the largest possible surface.
  • the cooling elements may be attached via compensators for vibration damping / vibration decoupling.
  • the transformer is expediently mounted in this way makes the air flow flow around him at a high speed.
  • the elevated installation in open terrain is particularly advantageous, with no buildings or obstacles in the main wind direction.
  • the invention is also suitable for offshore substations on the high seas, which enable free and high installation of the cooling system.
  • the design of the bottom of the platform is to be carried out in such a way that vertical air currents reach all or part of the cooling elements and thus the flow within the cooling elements additionally uses the convection effect.
  • the platform of an onshore or offshore substation is designed in such a way that the supports of a wind turbine are used for the substation and / or the attachment of the cooling system.
  • the flow-guiding device enables an effective vertical blowing to be achieved even with a plate heat sink or a radiator when the wind is at right angles to the plate by deflecting the horizontal air flow.
  • the flow guide devices improve the flow of air around the cooling system regardless of the wind direction.
  • the flow guide device is designed such that an additional Air flow is achieved without the flow being obstructed by parts of the guide device when there is a different wind direction.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, l'écoulement d'un fluide est employé pour le refroidissement d'une installation, notamment d'un transformateur. L'invention repose notamment sur le fait que l'écoulement du fluide, par ex, du vent, augmente automatiquement avec la charge du transformateur. Le transformateur selon l'invention est conçu de telle manière que l'exposition à l'écoulement naturel de l'air du transformateur et des éléments de refroidissement est maximale. A cet effet, les éléments de refroidissement sont conçus longitudinalement de manière à former une grande section transversale pour le fluide qui s'écoule. La profondeur des éléments de refroidissement est par ailleurs choisie de manière que la résistance à l'écoulement reste mesurée et qu'on obtient un écoulement tourbillonnaire de l'air de refroidissement. L'espacement et la disposition des éléments de refroidissement sont choisis de telle manière que le caisson du transformateur est également exposé à l'écoulement de l'air et sert au refroidissement.
