Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ventilation and heat exchange in indoor substations, and particularly relates to the field of targeted air supply to enhance heat exchange in main transformers. Background Technology

[0002] During peak electricity consumption periods, the load on the main transformer of an indoor substation increases dramatically. This increased load causes a large amount of heat to be generated in the core and windings of the main transformer. To ensure the safe and stable operation of the main transformer, it is necessary to dissipate this heat in a timely manner.

[0003] Currently, the main transformers in indoor substations in my country primarily utilize additional plate-type radiators to enhance heat dissipation. During the hot summer months, natural air cooling alone is insufficient to meet the transformer's cooling requirements. Therefore, fans are typically installed on the side walls of the transformer compartment to enhance air-side convective heat transfer through the plate-type radiators. For the main transformer in an indoor substation, over 80% of the heat generated is dissipated into the surrounding environment through the plate-type radiators. Therefore, achieving efficient heat dissipation from these radiators is crucial for improving the ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency of indoor substations.

[0004] Currently, in practical engineering, indoor substations typically have side and bottom air inlets, while exhaust outlets are usually located at the top of the substation and equipped with exhaust fans. However, in existing technologies, due to unreasonable airflow path design, a large amount of cooling air is directly bypassed, resulting in low ventilation and heat exchange efficiency in the main transformer room.

[0005] To ensure that different indoor substation ventilation methods can dissipate heat effectively under high-temperature and high-load conditions, there is an urgent need for a universal, precision-guided cooling air cooling fin radiator system to improve the ventilation and heat exchange efficiency of the main transformer room. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a targeted air supply ventilation and heat dissipation system for indoor substations. This system is applicable to both side-intake and bottom-intake indoor substations, enabling targeted and precise air supply to the finned radiators, effectively improving the cooling effect of the cooling air on the main transformer, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the main transformer under high temperature and high load conditions.

[0007] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0008] A targeted air supply ventilation and heat dissipation system for an indoor substation includes a main transformer room, an air inlet, an air inlet duct, an air distribution box, a plate-type radiator, and an exhaust outlet. The air inlet is located on the side wall of the main transformer room, and the exhaust outlet is located on the top of the main transformer room. One end of the air inlet duct is connected to the air inlet. The air distribution box has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the other end of the air inlet duct is connected to the air inlet. The plate-type radiator is located inside the main transformer room, and with the surface where the air outlet is located as the projection surface, the orthographic projection of the plate-type radiator on the air distribution box overlaps with the air outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the air inlet is located on the side wall opposite to the air outlet of the air distribution box, and the plate radiator is located on the side of the air distribution box away from the air inlet duct.

[0010] Furthermore, the air inlet is located on a side wall adjacent to the air outlet in the air distribution box, and the plate-type heat sink is located above the air distribution box.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the air distribution box is 80%-120% of the length of the finned radiator, the width is 80%-120% of the width of the finned radiator, and the thickness is 20%-30% of the length.

[0012] Furthermore, the air inlet is rectangular, and the center of the air inlet coincides with the center of the side wall on which it is located.

[0013] Furthermore, the air inlet is rectangular, and the length W of the air inlet is... d Ratio of the width W of the air distribution box to the width W d / W ranges from 0.8 to 0.9; the width T of the air inlet d The ratio of the thickness T of the air distribution box to T d / T ranges from 0.8 to 0.9.

[0014] Furthermore, the air intake duct is a retractable and detachable ventilation duct.

[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of the air inlet duct are detachably connected to the air inlet and the air distribution box respectively via fixed bases.

[0016] Furthermore, the air outlet is equipped with louvers.

[0017] Furthermore, an exhaust fan is installed at the exhaust vent.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] The cooling system includes a main transformer room, an air inlet, an air inlet duct, an air distribution box, finned radiators, and an exhaust outlet. The air inlet duct and air distribution box guide the cooling air to the finned radiators of the main transformer for precise targeted air delivery, reducing the bypass volume of the cooling air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling air, effectively reducing the ambient temperature inside the main transformer room, reducing the cooling air ventilation volume, and reducing the fan output.

[0020] Furthermore, the length of the air distribution box is 80%-120% of the length of the finned radiator, and the width is 80%-120% of the width of the finned radiator, which can ensure that the entire finned radiator is fully cooled by the cooling air; the thickness is 20%-30% of the length, which can make the cooling air discharged from the air outlet of the air distribution box as uniform as possible, while minimizing the space occupied by the air distribution box.

[0021] Furthermore, the length W of the rectangular air inlet d Ratio of the width W of the air distribution box to the width W d / W ranges from 0.8 to 0.9; the rectangular width T of the air inlet d The ratio of the thickness T of the air distribution box to T d The / T range is 0.8-0.9. The closer the size of the air inlet is to the size of the air outlet, the more uniform the cooling air will be when it is discharged from the air outlet, ensuring that the cooling air can evenly and fully cool the finned heat sink. At the same time, it facilitates the installation and connection of the air inlet duct and the air distribution box.

[0022] Furthermore, the air intake duct is a retractable and detachable ventilation duct. When the main transformer load is low or the temperature is low, the air intake duct and the air distribution box can be removed to reduce the airflow resistance during natural air cooling, improve cooling efficiency, facilitate installation and maintenance, and save indoor space for the main transformer.

[0023] Furthermore, an exhaust fan is installed at the exhaust vent to quickly expel the high-temperature air from the transformer room. Attached Figure Description
