Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 An exemplary environment of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC system) 10 in a building 12 is shown for a typical commercial setting. System 10 may include a compressor that may be incorporated into vapor compression system 14 capable of supplying refrigerated liquid that may be used to cool building 12 . System 10 may also include a boiler 16 that provides heated liquid that may be used to heat building 12 , and an air distribution system that circulates air through building 12 . The air distribution system may include a return air duct 18 , an air supply duct 20 and an air handling device 22 . Air handling unit 22 may include a heat exchanger connected to boiler 16 and vapor compression system 14 by conduit 24 . Depending on the mode of operation of system 10 , the heat exchanger in air handling unit 22 may receive heated liquid from boiler 16 or chilled liquid from vapor compression system 14 . System 10 shows separate air handling u...

Abstract

A variable speed drive includes a converter connected to an AC power source, a DC link connected to the converter, and an inverter connected to the DC link. The inverter converts DC voltage into an output AC power having a variable voltage and frequency. The inverter includes at least one power electronics module and associated control circuitry; a heat sink in thermal communication with the power electronics module and in fluid communication with a manifold. The manifold includes a tubular member having at least one vertical member portion and at least one horizontal member portion in fluid communication. A plurality of ports conduct cooling fluid into and out of the manifold. A bracket attaches the manifold to a structural frame. Brackets are provided for attachment of power electronics modules to the manifold.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present application generally relates to a cooling manifold for a variable speed drive. The present application more particularly relates to a structural frame cooling manifold for a variable speed drive. [0002] Electrical panels housing power switching devices generate a lot of heat that must be removed so that electronic components do not fail due to excessive temperatures. In applications such as variable speed drives used in motor control and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, the electrical panels used typically have hoses for coolant distribution and steel members for structural support. [0003] The present disclosure discloses a single piece that functions as a cooling fluid manifold and a structural member. Hoses can fail and cause fluid to contact live components or busses within electrical gears, causing a short circuit or equipment shutdown. The disclosed arrangement eliminates or minimizes the use of...
