Benefits of technology

[0007] Therefore the object of the present invention is to develop a wind power installation and in particular to design a wind power installation in such a way that moisture problems within the wind power installation can be eliminated in a simple manner.

Problems solved by technology

That known apparatus however suffers from the disadvantage that the chemical has to be replaced at certain time intervals in order to maintain proper operability of the apparatus.
With those apparatuses however the structure is complicated and expensive and in addition it is necessary for the cooling fluid to be collected separately upon disposal.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1 shown therein is a side view of an apparatus according to the invention. Disposed between a first element 10 and a second element 14 is a cooling device 12. The cooling device 12 is a Peltier element operated with electrical power or a group of Peltier elements. It causes transportation of heat from a lateral boundary surface to the other—in this case the heat is transported from the first element 10 to the second element 14.

[0022] If the cooling device 12 is acted upon by a suitable current which is predetermined in respect of amount and direction, heat is withdrawn from the first element 10 and transported to the second element 14 where it is in turn discharged to the ambient atmosphere. The first element 10 and the second element 14 are preferably in the form of cooling bodies, that is to say flat or air exposed aluminium elements with cooling ribs extending thereon for increasing the effective surface area.

[0023] Due to the extraction of heat the fir...

Abstract

The present invention concerns a wind power installation, in particular a wind power installation having an apparatus for the dehumidification of a gaseous medium in a substantially closed space within the wind power installation. In order to keep down the personnel and logistical expenditure for attaining proper operability of the apparatus, to simplify the structure and to permit very substantially maintenance-free operation, the apparatus includes a first air exposed element and a cooling device for cooling the first element to a temperature below the ambient temperature.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention concerns a wind power installation, in particular a wind power installation having an apparatus for dehumidifying a gaseous medium in a substantially closed space within the wind power installation. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A dehumidifying apparatus operating on a chemical basis has long been known. In that known apparatus moisture is removed from the ambient air chemically and the moisture is collected in a catch container. That known apparatus however suffers from the disadvantage that the chemical has to be replaced at certain time intervals in order to maintain proper operability of the apparatus. In relation to a large number of apparatuses which are to be centrally monitored and maintained, that requires additional expenditure in terms of personnel and logistics. [0005] Dehumidifiers are also known, in which an enclosed space is cooled on the basis of the operative ...
