Description
本発明の実施形態は、電力変換装置の密閉収納可能な冷却構造を備え、屋外に設置する屋外盤に関する。 An embodiment of the present invention relates to an outdoor panel provided with a cooling structure capable of hermetically storing a power converter and installed outdoors.
従来、屋外設置の電力変換装置は、自然空冷又は強制空冷によって冷却されている。図７は、電力変換装置を屋外に設置する場合の従来の屋外盤２００の構造を示す側面断面図の一例である。図８は、電力変換装置を屋外に設置する場合の従来の自然空冷用屋外盤２００Ａの風の流れを示す図である。以下、これらの図を参照して自然空冷用屋外盤２００の構造及び効果を説明する。 Conventionally, the power conversion device installed outdoors is cooled by natural air cooling or forced air cooling. FIG. 7 is an example of a side cross-sectional view showing the structure of a conventional outdoor panel 200 when the power converter is installed outdoors. FIG. 8 is a view showing the flow of wind of the conventional natural air-cooling outdoor panel 200A when the power conversion device is installed outdoors. The structure and effects of the natural air cooling outdoor panel 200 will be described below with reference to these figures.
屋外盤２００は、筐体部２１０、電力変換部２２０、冷却部２３０、屋根部２５０及び底部２６０などを有して構成される。 The outdoor panel 200 is configured to have a housing portion 210, a power conversion portion 220, a cooling portion 230, a roof portion 250, a bottom portion 260, and the like.
筐体部２１０は、電力変換部２２０及び冷却部２３０を収容し、外部の水滴、埃などの進入を防ぐと共に、風雨などの環境の変化に対して十分な強度が確保される。 The housing unit 210 accommodates the power conversion unit 220 and the cooling unit 230, and prevents external water droplets, dust and the like from entering, and secures sufficient strength against environmental changes such as weather.
電力変換部２２０は、当該電力変換部２２０の主要な発熱体であるスイッチング素子としてのＩＧＢＴ２２１、２２２、当該ＩＧＢＴ２２１、２２２を制御する基板及び電源の入出力用バスバー（以下、基板・バスバー２２３と称する。）、及びヒューズ２２４などを有して構成される。 The power conversion unit 220 includes IGBTs 221 and 222 as switching elements that are main heating elements of the power conversion unit 220, a substrate for controlling the IGBTs 221 and 222, and a bus bar for input / output of a power supply (hereinafter referred to as a substrate / bus bar 223). And the fuse 224 and the like.
冷却部２３０は、ヒートパイプ２３１及びフィルタ部２３２などを有して構成される。上述した主要な発熱体であるＩＧＢＴ２２１、２２２の裏面（圧接面）は、ヒートパイプ２３１に圧接されており、ＩＧＢＴ２２１、２２２から発生した熱は、当該圧接面からヒートパイプ内の媒体（作動液）に吸収される。媒体が熱を吸収して蒸発し、フィルタ部２３２から流入した外気による自然空冷によって冷却されたパイプ内の低温部に移動して液体に戻る。このようにして、パイプ内の媒体が循環することによりＩＧＢＴ２２１、２２２が冷却される。図示した矢印は、自然空冷の場合の風の流れの方向を示している。図示した自然空冷用屋外盤２００Ａでは、電力変換部２２０内の発熱損失９０ｗ及びヒートパイプ２３１での発熱損失２．５ｋｗを自然空冷によって冷却している。 The cooling unit 230 includes the heat pipe 231, the filter unit 232, and the like. The back surfaces (pressure contact surfaces) of the IGBTs 221 and 222, which are the main heating elements described above, are in pressure contact with the heat pipe 231, and the heat generated from the IGBTs 221 and 222 is a medium (working fluid) in the heat pipe from the pressure surfaces. Absorbed by The medium absorbs heat, evaporates, and moves to a low temperature part in the pipe cooled by natural air cooling by the outside air flowing in from the filter part 232 and returns to a liquid. In this manner, the IGBTs 221 and 222 are cooled by circulating the medium in the pipe. The illustrated arrows indicate the direction of wind flow in the case of natural air cooling. In the outdoor air cooling outdoor panel 200A illustrated, the heat generation loss 90 w in the power conversion unit 220 and the heat generation loss 2.5 kw in the heat pipe 231 are cooled by natural air cooling.
図９は、電力変換装置を屋外に設置する場合の従来の強制空冷用屋外盤２００Ｂの風の流れを示す側面断面図である。強制空冷用屋外盤２００Ｂは、上述した図８のフィルタ部２３２にファン２３３を配置して電力変換部２２０及び冷却部２３０内で発生した熱を屋外盤２００Ｂの外に強制的に排出している点が異なる。 FIG. 9 is a side cross-sectional view showing the flow of wind of the conventional forced air cooling outdoor panel 200B when the power conversion device is installed outdoors. In the forced air cooling outdoor panel 200B, the fan 233 is disposed in the filter unit 232 of FIG. 8 described above, and the heat generated in the power conversion unit 220 and the cooling unit 230 is forcibly discharged to the outside of the outdoor panel 200B. The point is different.
強制空冷用屋外盤２００Ｂの場合は、電力変換部２２０及び冷却部２１０内で発生した熱は、ファン２３３を通して、底部２６０に設けられた通気口２６１、２６２から外部に排出される。なお、ヒートパイプ２３１の動作は図８に示す自然空冷の場合と同様である。図示した強制空冷用屋外盤２００Ｂでは、電力変換部２２０内の発熱損失３５０ｗ及びヒートパイプ２３１での発熱損失５．０ｋｗを強制空冷によって冷却している。このように強制空冷することにより、自然空冷に比べてより大きな発熱損失を行う電力変換装置に適用可能である。 In the case of the forced air cooling outdoor panel 200B, the heat generated in the power conversion unit 220 and the cooling unit 210 is discharged to the outside from the vents 261 and 262 provided in the bottom portion 260 through the fan 233. The operation of the heat pipe 231 is the same as in the case of natural air cooling shown in FIG. In the illustrated forced air cooling outdoor panel 200B, the heat generation loss 350 w in the power conversion unit 220 and the heat generation loss 5.0 kw in the heat pipe 231 are cooled by forced air cooling. Such forced air cooling can be applied to a power conversion device that generates a larger heat generation loss than natural air cooling.
しかしながら、上述した自然空冷用屋外盤２００Ａ及び強制空冷用屋外盤２００Ｂの場合には、電力変換部２２０と冷却部２３０との間の隔壁に設けた通気口２２５、２２６、２２７を通した空気の流入、流出があるため、防塵、防滴を十分に行うことができないという課題があった。また、扉などの筐体外部との間に熱交換器を設置すると、強風などの屋外環境の影響を受け、熱交換器の特性が安定しないため、屋外盤として耐環境性の課題があった。 However, in the case of the outdoor air board 200A for natural air cooling and the outdoor air board 200B for forced air cooling described above, the air passing through the air vents 225, 226, 227 provided in the partition between the power conversion unit 220 and the cooling unit 230. Since there is inflow and outflow, there is a problem that dust and drip can not be sufficiently performed. In addition, when the heat exchanger is installed between the door and the outside of the case, the heat exchanger is not stable due to the influence of the outdoor environment such as strong wind, so there was a problem of environmental resistance as an outdoor panel. .
本発明は、上述した課題を解決するためになされたもので、電力変換部を密閉構造とし、熱交換器を筐体部内に配置し、密閉された電力変換部の熱を当該熱交換器で、同じ筐体部内の電力変換部の背面側に設けられた冷却部に放熱し、当該放熱された熱をファンで強制空冷する冷却構造を備えた屋外盤を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the power conversion unit has a sealed structure, the heat exchanger is disposed in the housing unit, and the heat of the sealed power conversion unit is the heat exchanger.

以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施例について説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図１は、実施例１に係る電力変換装置の密閉収納可能な冷却構造を備えた屋外盤１００の斜視図である。図２は、図１に示す屋外盤１００の構造を示す側面断面図である。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an outdoor panel 100 provided with a cooling structure capable of sealing and storing the power conversion device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view showing the structure of the outdoor panel 100 shown in FIG.
屋外盤１００は、筐体部１１０、隔壁１１１、電力変換部１２０、冷却部１３０、屋根部１５０及び底部１６０などを有して構成される。 The outdoor panel 100 is configured to have a housing 110, a partition 111, a power converter 120, a cooling unit 130, a roof 150, a bottom 160, and the like.
なお、ここで言う電力変換装置とは、電力変換部１２０と冷却部１３０を同一筐体部１１０内に配置し、インバータ、コンバータ若しくはこれらを制御する制御部及び冷却手段を組み合わせて構成し、電力変換の機能を有する装置をいう。本実施例では、電力変換装置を筐体部１１０に収納し、当該筐体部１１０の上部に屋根部１５０、下部に底部１６０を配置して屋外に設置可能な屋外盤１００を構成した。 In addition, the power conversion device said here arrange | positions the power conversion part 120 and the cooling part 130 in the same housing part 110, combines an inverter, a converter, or the control part which controls these, and a cooling means, and comprises them. A device that has a conversion function. In the present embodiment, the power conversion device is housed in the casing 110, and the roof 150 and the bottom 160 are disposed at the top and the bottom of the casing 110, respectively, to constitute the outdoor panel 100 which can be installed outdoors.
筐体部１１０は、電力変換部１２０及び冷却部１３０を収容し、外部の水滴、埃などの進入を防ぐと共に、風雨などの環境の変化に対して十分な強度が確保される。本実施例では、筐体部１１０と、電力変換部１２０及び冷却部１３０との間に隔壁１１１が設けられており、電力変換部１２０は、密閉構造となる。 The housing unit 110 accommodates the power conversion unit 120 and the cooling unit 130, and prevents external water droplets, dust and the like from entering, and secures sufficient strength against environmental changes such as wind and rain. In the present embodiment, the partition wall 111 is provided between the housing unit 110 and the power conversion unit 120 and the cooling unit 130, and the power conversion unit 120 has a sealed structure.
また、筐体部１１０と屋根部１５０との間には、通気口１１２、１１３及び１１４が配置され、筐体部１１０と底部１６０との間には通気口１６１、１６２が配置されている。 Also, vents 112, 113 and 114 are disposed between the housing 110 and the roof 150, and vents 161 and 162 are disposed between the housing 110 and the bottom 160.
通気口１１２、１１３は、筐体部１１０の上部側面と屋根部１５０の端部との間の隙間を利用し、その開口部が下方を向くように配置される。このような配置にすることにより、外部の水滴、塵などが直接筐体部１１０内に入り込むのを防止している。 The vents 112 and 113 are disposed so that the openings thereof face downward using a gap between the upper side surface of the housing 110 and the end of the roof 150. Such an arrangement prevents external water droplets, dust, etc. from directly entering the housing 110.
通気口１１４は、筐体部１１０の天井部分に配置され、冷却部１３０でヒートパイプ１３１による熱交換の際に発生した熱を外部に放熱又は外部から冷却風を取り込む際の通気口である。 The vent 114 is disposed at the ceiling portion of the housing 110, and is a vent at the time of heat exchange with the heat pipe 131 by the cooling unit 130 to radiate heat externally or take in cooling air from the outside.
通気口１６０、１６１は、筐体部１１０と底部１６０との間に配置され、冷却部１３０でヒートパイプ（冷却手段）１３１による熱交換の際に発生した熱を外部に放熱又は外部から冷却風を取り込む際の通気口である。 The vents 160 and 161 are disposed between the housing portion 110 and the bottom portion 160, and the heat generated by the heat pipe (cooling means) 131 in the cooling portion 130 is dissipated to the outside or the cooling air from the outside It is a vent when taking in.
フィルタ部１３２は、通気口１６１、１６２と冷却部１３０との間に配置された防塵用フィルタで、当該通気口１６１、１６２から冷却部１３０へ流れる塵の進入を防止する。なお、このフィルタ部１３２に、ファンを配置して当該冷却部１３０内で発生した熱を外部に放熱することも可能である。 The filter unit 132 is a dustproof filter disposed between the vents 161 and 162 and the cooling unit 130, and prevents dust from flowing from the vents 161 and 162 to the cooling unit 130. In addition, it is also possible to arrange a fan in this filter part 132, and to radiate the heat which generate | occur | produced in the said cooling part 130 outside.
電力変換部１２０は、当該電力変換部１２０の主要な発熱体であるスイッチング素子としてのＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２、当該ＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２を制御する基板及び電源の入出力用バスバー（以下、基板・バスバー１２３と称する。）、及びヒューズ１２４などを有して構成される。 The power conversion unit 120 includes IGBTs 121 and 122 as switching elements which are main heating elements of the power conversion unit 120, a substrate for controlling the IGBTs 121 and 122, and a bus bar for input and output of power (hereinafter referred to as a substrate and bus bar 123). And fuse 124 and the like.
冷却部１３０は、熱交換器１２７、ヒートパイプ１３１及びフィルタ部１３２（またはファン１３３）などを有して構成される。 The cooling unit 130 includes a heat exchanger 127, a heat pipe 131, a filter unit 132 (or a fan 133), and the like.
熱交換器１２７は、温度の高い物体から低い物体へ効率的に熱を移動させることで、物体の加熱や冷却を行う目的で使用される。ここでは、密閉構造になっている電力変換部１２０内（高温側）の熱を吸収し、隔壁の背面側である冷却部１３０（低温側）に放熱する。 The heat exchanger 127 is used to heat or cool an object by efficiently transferring heat from the high-temperature object to the low-temperature object. Here, the heat in the power conversion unit 120 (high temperature side), which has a sealed structure, is absorbed, and the heat is dissipated to the cooling unit 130 (low temperature side) which is the back side of the partition wall.
また、上述した主要な発熱体であるＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２の裏面は、ヒートパイプ１３１に圧接されており、ＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２から発生した熱は、当該圧接面からヒートパイプ１３１内の媒体（作動液）に吸収される。媒体は、熱を吸収して蒸発し、フィルタ部１３２から流入した冷風（またはファン１３３）によって冷却されたパイプ内の低温部に移動して液体に戻る。このようにして、ヒートパイプ１３１内の媒体が循環することによりＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２が冷却される。 The back surfaces of the IGBTs 121 and 122, which are the main heating elements described above, are in pressure contact with the heat pipe 131, and the heat generated from the IGBTs 121 and 122 is transferred to the medium (working fluid) in the heat pipe 131 from the press contact surface. Absorbed The medium absorbs heat and evaporates, and moves to a low temperature section in the pipe cooled by the cold air (or fan 133) flowing from the filter section 132 and returns to a liquid. Thus, the IGBTs 121 and 122 are cooled by circulating the medium in the heat pipe 131.
この結果、電力変換部１２０が密閉構造であるにも関わらず、電力変換部１２０内で発生した熱は熱交換器１２７及びヒートパイプ１３１によって冷却部１３０に放熱される。 As a result, although the power conversion unit 120 has a sealed structure, the heat generated in the power conversion unit 120 is dissipated to the cooling unit 130 by the heat exchanger 127 and the heat pipe 131.
図３は、図２に示す屋外盤を自然空冷で使用する場合の自然空冷用屋外盤１００Ａの風の流れを示す図である。自然空冷用屋外盤１００Ａでは、フィルタ部１３２にはファンを配置しないか若しくは配置したファンを動作させない状態で使用される。 FIG. 3 is a view showing the flow of wind of the natural air-cooling outdoor panel 100A when the outdoor panel shown in FIG. 2 is used with natural air cooling. In the natural air cooling outdoor panel 100A, the filter portion 132 is used without a fan or in a state where the fan is not operated.
（１）電力変換部１２０が密閉構造であり、電力変換部１２０内で加熱された空気は図示矢印ａ１方向に上昇する。 (1) The power conversion unit 120 has a sealed structure, and the air heated in the power conversion unit 120 rises in the direction of the illustrated arrow a1.
（２）熱交換器１２７及びヒートパイプ１３１からの放熱で温められた空気は、図示矢印ａ４方向に上昇し、通気口１１４を通り、通気口１１２、１１３から排出される。 (2) The air warmed by the heat radiation from the heat exchanger 127 and the heat pipe 131 rises in the direction of the arrow a 4 in the figure, passes through the vent 114 and is discharged from the vents 112 and 113.
（３）上記（２）で、温められた空気が、上記通気口１１２、１１３から排気されるのに伴い、通気口１６１、１６２から冷気が図示矢印ａ２の方向に取り込まれ、フィルタ部１３２を介して冷却部１３０に流入する。 (3) As the warmed air is exhausted from the air vents 112 and 113 in the above (2), cold air is taken in from the air vents 161 and 162 in the direction of the arrow a2, and the filter portion 132 is It flows into the cooling unit 130 via
（４）上述した空気の流れにより、ＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２による発熱損失が比較的少ない場合には（図示した場合は発熱損失２．５ｋｗ）、上記自然空冷による空気循環により、電力変換装置の密閉収納可能な冷却構造を備えた自然空冷用屋外盤１００Aを提供することができる。なお、実施例１における自然空冷の冷却効果は、電力変換部１２０及び冷却部１３０内の冷却効果が低いため、発熱損失が強制空冷に比べて小さい場合に好適である。 (4) If the heat generation loss due to the IGBTs 121 and 122 is relatively small due to the above-described air flow (heat generation loss 2.5 kw in the illustrated case), the power conversion device can be enclosed and stored by air circulation by natural air cooling It is possible to provide an outdoor panel 100A for natural air cooling which has a simple cooling structure. The cooling effect of natural air cooling in the first embodiment is suitable when the heat generation loss is smaller than that of forced air cooling because the cooling effect in the power conversion unit 120 and the cooling unit 130 is low.
図４は、実施例１に係る屋外盤を強制空冷で使用する場合の強制空冷用屋外盤１００Ｂの構造及び当該屋外盤１００Ｂ内の風の流れを示す斜視図である。図５は、実施例２に係る屋外盤を強制空冷で使用する場合の強制空冷用屋外盤１００Ｂの構造及び風の流れを示す側面断面図である。実施例２では、フィルタ部１３２に、ファン１３３を、通風方向を下向きに配置する。通風方向を下向きに配置することにより、筐体部１１０内に熱交換器１２７を配置しても電力変換部１２０から排出される熱を冷却することが可能になる。上記ファン１３３以外の部分は、実施例１と同様であるため、同一部分は同一符号を使用し、実施例１と異なる部分の説明を行う。 FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the structure of a forced air cooling outdoor panel 100B and the flow of wind in the outdoor panel 100B when using the outdoor panel according to the first embodiment with forced air cooling. FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view showing the structure of the forced air cooling outdoor panel 100B and the flow of wind when the outdoor panel according to the second embodiment is used with forced air cooling. In the second embodiment, the fan 133 is disposed in the filter portion 132 with the ventilation direction facing downward. By arranging the ventilation direction downward, even if the heat exchanger 127 is disposed in the housing 110, it is possible to cool the heat discharged from the power converter 120. The parts other than the fan 133 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore the same reference numerals are used for the same parts, and the parts different from the first embodiment will be described.
以下、実施例２の空気の流れの詳細を説明する。 Hereinafter, the air flow of the second embodiment will be described in detail.
（１）電力変換部１２０が密閉構造であり、電力変換部１２０内で加熱された空気は、図示矢印ｂ１１方向に上昇し、熱交換器１２７によって冷却され、図示矢印ｂ１１、ｂ１２で示す対流により密閉されている電力変換部１２０内部が冷却される。 (1) The power conversion unit 120 has a sealed structure, and the air heated in the power conversion unit 120 rises in the direction of the illustrated arrow b11, is cooled by the heat exchanger 127, and convects shown by the illustrated arrows b11 and b12. The inside of the sealed power conversion unit 120 is cooled.
（２）熱交換器１２７及びヒートパイプ１３１からの放熱で冷却部１３０内の空気は温められる。 (2) The air in the cooling unit 130 is warmed by the heat released from the heat exchanger 127 and the heat pipe 131.
（３）上記（２）で温められた空気は、ファン１３３により、図示矢印ｂ３の方向に吸引され、通気口１６１、１６２から図示矢印ｂ２の方向に排気される。 (3) The air warmed in the above (2) is sucked by the fan 133 in the direction of the arrow b3 and exhausted from the air vents 161 and 162 in the direction of the arrow b2.
（４）上記（３）の排気に伴い、通気口１１２、１１３から図示矢印ｂ５の方向に外気が取り込まれ、通気口１１４から図示矢印ｂ４の方向に冷気が流入する。 (4) With the exhaust of (3), outside air is taken in from the air vents 112 and 113 in the direction of the arrow b5, and cold air flows from the air vent 114 in the direction of the arrow b4.
上述した空気の流れにより、ＩＧＢＴ１２１、１２２による発熱損失が比較的大きい場合であっても（図示した場合は発熱損失５．０ｋｗ）、ファンの排気方向を下向きとすることにより、筐体部１１０内部に熱交換器を配置しても当該電力変換部１２０の冷却が可能である。 Even when the heat generation loss due to the IGBTs 121 and 122 is relatively large due to the above-described air flow (heat generation loss: 5.0 kw in the case illustrated), the inside of the housing 110 is made downward by setting the fan exhaust direction downward. Even if the heat exchanger is disposed at the lower side, the power converter 120 can be cooled.
実施例２に示す電力変換装置の密閉収納可能な冷却構造を備えた強制空冷用屋外盤と同一構成において、本実施例では、ファン１３３及び熱交換器１２７を必要に応じて制御する。 In the same configuration as the forced air cooling outdoor panel provided with the cooling structure capable of sealing and storing the power conversion device shown in the second embodiment, in the present embodiment, the fan 133 and the heat exchanger 127 are controlled as needed.
例えば、太陽光発電用電力変換装置として当該実施例２を適用する場合、
（１）太陽光発電用電力変換装置は、環境の依存度が高く、出力の安定が期待できない。そのような場合は、当該強制空冷用屋外盤１００Ｂのファン１３３（若しくは熱交換器１２７）は常時運転するのではなく、出力電流が大きくなる場合のみ運転するように制御する。従って、出力が小さいときには、ファン１３３は止まり、当該強制空冷用屋外盤１００Ｂは、自然空冷用屋外盤１００Ａとして機能する。また、この場合は、筐体部１１０内上方の空気温度が高くなり、熱交換器１２７も機能しないため、熱交換器１２７も停止する。
For example, when the second embodiment is applied as a power conversion device for solar power generation,
(1) The power conversion device for photovoltaic power generation is highly dependent on the environment, and stable output can not be expected. In such a case, the fan 133 (or the heat exchanger 127) of the forced air cooling outdoor panel 100B is controlled not to operate at all times, but to operate only when the output current increases. Therefore, when the output is small, the fan 133 is stopped, and the forced air cooling outdoor board 100B functions as a natural air cooling outdoor board 100A. Further, in this case, the temperature of the air in the upper side in the casing 110 rises, and the heat exchanger 127 also does not function, so the heat exchanger 127 also stops.
（２）上記（１）の状態で、出力が大きくなったときには、熱交換器１２７とファン１３３を同時にオンし、放熱する制御を行う。 (2) When the output becomes large in the above state (1), the heat exchanger 127 and the fan 133 are simultaneously turned on to perform control of radiating heat.
上述したように、実施例３によれば、強制空冷用屋外盤１００Ｂの熱交換器１２７及びファン１３３を、電力変換装置の出力の大きさにより制御することができ、当該電力変換装置を効率的に冷却することが可能になる。 As described above, according to the third embodiment, the heat exchanger 127 and the fan 133 of the forced air cooling outdoor board 100B can be controlled by the size of the output of the power conversion device, and the power conversion device is efficiently performed. It becomes possible to cool.
図６は、実施例４に係る屋外盤を強制空冷で使用する場合の強制空冷用屋外盤１００Ｃ及び当該屋外盤１００Ｃ内の風の流れを示す図である。実施例４では、熱交換器１２７を電力変換部１２０と屋根部１５０との間に配置する。上記熱交換器１２７以外の部分は、実施例２と同様であるため、同一部分は同一符号を使用し、実施例２と異なる部分の説明を行う。 FIG. 6 is a view showing the flow of wind in the forced air cooling outdoor panel 100C and the outdoor panel 100C in the case of using the outdoor panel according to the fourth embodiment by forced air cooling. In the fourth embodiment, the heat exchanger 127 is disposed between the power conversion unit 120 and the roof 150. The parts other than the heat exchanger 127 are the same as those of the second embodiment, and therefore the same reference numerals are used for the same parts, and the parts different from the second embodiment will be described.
本実施例では、熱交換器１２７は、電力変換部１２０の天井部と屋根部１５０との間に配置されている。このような配置であっても、屋外盤の扉など筐体外部との間に熱交換器を設置した場合と異なり、強風などの屋外環境の影響を受け、熱交換器の特性が安定しないという課題を解決することができ、実施例２と同様の効果を得ることができる。 In the present embodiment, the heat exchanger 127 is disposed between the ceiling of the power converter 120 and the roof 150. Even with such an arrangement, unlike the case where a heat exchanger is installed between the exterior panel door and the outside of the case, the characteristics of the heat exchanger are not stable due to the influence of the outdoor environment such as strong wind. The problem can be solved, and the same effect as that of the second embodiment can be obtained.
