Definitions

  • the invention concerns a ship comprising at least one electric motor for driving the ship and a cooling device for cooling the at least one motor by means of a coolant.
  • the invention further concerns a cooling device for a ship having at least one electric motor.
  • One or more embodiment of the present invention is to make a contribution to resolving that problem, giving in particular an electric motor-driven ship with improved cooling.
  • a cooling device has a heat exchanger adapted to cool the at least one coolant by means of sea water.
  • a ship has at least two cooling circuits which are coupled together.
  • coolant circulates between the at least one electric motor and the heat exchanger.
  • sea water circulates between the heat exchanger and an outside region of the ship.
  • the two circuits are separated from each other by the heat exchanger in such a way that coolant and sea water do not mix.
  • the at least one electric motor does not come into contact with sea water.
  • corrosion of the at least one electric motor is substantially reduced and as a result the service life is substantially prolonged.
  • the maintenance expenditure and complication is also substantially reduced.
  • the construction and manufacture of such an electric motor is also simplified as it does not have to be designed for direct cooling operation by means of sea water.
  • a further advantage is also that a ship with a drive designed in that way is improved in terms of energy consumption and reliability.
  • Sea water represents a natural and almost unlimited cooling resource.
  • the temperature of the sea water is in that respect substantially constant in a voyage with the ship so that such a cooling device does not require permanent adaptive adjustment.
  • the heat exchanger is in the form of a counter-flow heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger is the form of a co-flow heat exchanger.
  • the coolant is air and/or fresh water.
  • fresh water here does not denote sea water but for example cooling water, cooling fluid and also water-oil emulsions and the like.
  • Air refers here to space air and not to salty sea air.
  • Those two coolants are particularly preferred as they are readily available and are already used in many cases for electric motors. In that respect, heat exchange of sea water to fresh water is easy to implement by virtue of good thermal conduction.
  • Especially adapted heat exchangers are preferably to be used for heat exchange from sea water to air.
  • the coolant is air and a rotor and/or a stator of the electric motor can be cooled by means of said air.
  • air is preferred for cooling a rotor of an electric motor.

  • cool air can be guided in specifically targeted fashion to the electric motor or can be caused to impinge thereagainst. That air can also be guided in cooling passages, over cooling ribs, in openings or hollow spaces or the like to the electric motor.
  • warm air can be carried away from the electric motor in a specifically targeted fashion. That makes it possible to achieve specifically targeted cooling of the motor.
  • a specifically targeted volume flow or a specifically targeted air speed can be placed over the motor so that it can be cooled in improved targeted fashion. That makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the motor and the service life of a motor is prolonged. The maintenance complication and expenditure is also further reduced.

  • the means for guiding the air are arranged both between a cooling air outlet of the heat exchanger and a cooling air inlet of the electric motor, and also between a warm air outlet of the electric motor and a warm air inlet of the heat exchanger. Accordingly the cooling air circulates in a substantially closed system. In this embodiment the room does not have to be air-tightly closed, but rather it is sufficient for the motors to be protected from salty air.
  • the at least one electric motor has cooling passages at a housing and/or at a stator.
  • the cooling passages can pass through the housing and/or along a stator winding. Specifically targeted cooling of a motor is possible by means of such cooling passages.
