Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformers, and particularly to a large water-cooled transformer and its cooling method. Background Art

[0002] A transformer is an electrical device used for voltage transformation, widely applied in the power system to achieve the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. It mainly consists of an iron core and windings, and works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. During operation, a transformer generates a large amount of heat, and effective heat dissipation is required to ensure safe and stable operation. Common oil-immersed transformers are filled with insulating hydraulic oil, and the oil circulates internally to carry the heat generated by the windings and iron core to the external heat dissipation fins, and dissipates heat through natural or forced air cooling methods, thereby achieving temperature control and equipment protection.

[0003] Ordinary transformers generate less heat during operation. The heat is conducted to the heat dissipation fins through hydraulic oil, and natural air cooling or forced air cooling can meet the heat dissipation requirements. In the prior art, for large transformers, they have high loads and large amounts of heat generation. The traditional heat dissipation method of hydraulic oil and heat dissipation fins is difficult to quickly and effectively discharge the internal heat. Especially in high-temperature environments or continuous heavy-load working conditions, the heat dissipation efficiency is significantly insufficient, easily leading to excessive temperatures, which in turn affect the insulation performance, operation stability, and service life of the transformer.

[0020] A cooling method for a large water-cooled transformer includes the following steps:

[0021] S1. The composite cooling assembly works. When the cooling water flows through the disc-shaped pipe, it takes away the heat of the hydraulic oil. When the cooling water flows through the spiral pipe, it exchanges heat with the composite cooling assembly. The composite filter assembly intercepts the garbage in the rainwater and the dust carried by the air entering the cooling tower.

[0022] S2. The composite filter assembly moves down along the outer wall of the cooling tower. The automatic release assembly supplies high-pressure gas to the composite backwashing assembly. The cooling tower stops rainwater and cooling air from entering. Through the composite backwashing assembly, the garbage and dust intercepted by the composite filter assembly are blown away.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. The main structure of the present invention includes a transformer body and a cooling tower. A composite cooling component is arranged inside the cooling tower. The disk-shaped pipe arranged at the bottom of the transformer body transfers the heat of the hydraulic oil into the spiral pipe inside the cooling tower. The composite cooling component sprays rainwater onto the outer wall of the spiral pipe on the one hand. When water contacts the pipe wall, a large amount of heat is carried away, and high specific heat capacity of water is utilized to achieve efficient cooling, which is especially suitable for rainy seasons or humid environments, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. On the other hand, by pumping cold air to the vicinity of the spiral pipe, air flow is formed to enhance surface heat transfer. Water cooling and air cooling act on the spiral pipe simultaneously, forming forced convection and a cooling water film to cooperate in cooling, greatly improving the heat transfer rate, avoiding overheating of the hydraulic oil, and thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the transformer.

[0025] 2. A rain collecting hopper is arranged on the outer wall of the cooling tower of the present invention. The rain collecting hopper guides rainwater into the cooling tower. An air intake passage is arranged at the bottom of the cooling tower to allow cooling air to enter the cooling tower. A composite filtering component is arranged on the outer wall of the cooling tower. The composite filtering component prevents garbage in rainwater or dust in the cooling gas from being introduced into the cooling tower, preventing these pollutants from entering the cooling tower and blocking the spraying system or adhering to the heat exchange pipe wall, reducing the cooling efficiency or even causing failures.

[0026] 3. A composite back-blowing component is arranged on the outer wall of the cooling tower of the present invention. The composite filtering component can be periodically moved to the outer wall of the composite back-blowing component. The back-blowing air flow automatically blows off pollutants such as dust and leaves accumulated on the surface of the filter screen, eliminating the need for manual disassembly or cleaning, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency. Regular automatic cleaning can keep the composite filtering component always in good permeability, avoiding poor water intake or air intake of the cooling tower due to reduced filtering ability, thus ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the rainwater utilization and air heat exchange processes. The automated cleaning process reduces the frequency of manual maintenance. Especially in the operation scenario of large transformers, it can reduce the downtime and labor costs.

[0027] 4. One of the composite back-blowing components of the present invention is an air source supply component, and one of the air source supply components is an automatic release component. When the cooling tower is performing transformer cooling work, the air source supply component caches a certain amount of clean gas. When the composite filtering component moves to the position of the composite back-blowing component, the automatic release component obtains high-pressure air source from the air source supply component and supplies it to the composite back-blowing component. The air source supply component caches a certain amount of clean gas to avoid the reaction lag that may be caused by temporarily starting the air pump. Once the filtering component moves to the back-blowing position, the automatic release component immediately starts high-pressure gas back-blowing to ensure rapid ash cleaning action, sufficient pressure, and reliable cleaning effect. In addition, the automatic release component adopts a pure mechanical structure, which can accurately identify the position and release high-pressure air source without relying on the electric control system, avoiding back-blowing failure caused by electrical faults, control errors or external interference, improving the stability and safety of the overall cooling system, and being especially suitable for transformer sites that are unattended for a long time under high voltage, outdoor or harsh environments.

When enough droplets are adsorbed on the bottom of the water blocking paper tray 21, the droplets will fall back to the bottom of the cooling tower 11 due to gravity. The rotation direction of the air extraction fan 20 needs to be set appropriately. When the air extraction fan 20 rotates, it will draw the air inside the cooling tower 11 away from the gas collecting hopper 9.

[0044] A rain collecting hopper 7 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the transformer body 1. Water inlet holes 10 are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the cooling tower 11 inside the cavity of the rain collecting hopper 7. The rainwater inside the rain collecting hopper 7 flows into the inside of the cooling tower 11 through the water inlet holes 10. A bottom ring 13 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the cooling tower 11 through a docking column 12. There are three docking columns 12 in total.

A water replenishing valve 141 and a liquid level sensor 142 are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the side of the water collecting hopper 14. The water replenishing valve 141 is connected to the urban water supply system.

When the release pipe 33 moves up to the limit position, the release pipe 33 is not communicated with the release hole 361.

[0052] The specific implementation steps and principles of the present invention are as follows:

[0053] When the entire cooling tower 11 is operating normally for cooling, the bottom connection pump 6 starts to circulate the cooling water inside the S-shaped pipe 3 and the spiral pipe 19. The cooling water flows through the S-shaped pipe 3 and exchanges heat with the transformer oil inside the heat exchange chamber 2. The cooling water carries the heat into the spiral pipe 19 inside the cooling tower 11.

At the same time, the air extraction fan 20 installed on the top of the air collecting hopper 9 sucks the cold air into the cooling tower 11 from the gap between the bottom of the cooling tower 11 and the top of the bottom ring 13 and discharges it from the top of the air collecting hopper 9. The buffer air pump 30 obtains clean air from inside the cooling tower 11. At this time, the top of the release pipe 33 is closed by the top of the fixed cylinder 36, and the air supply hose 34 is not connected to the air storage balloon 32.

[0055] When the switching cylinder 27 is started, the switching cylinder 27 retracts, the top sealing ring 23 moves downward to close the water inlet hole 10, the bottom sealing ring 29 moves to the gap between the bottom of the cooling tower 11 and the top of the bottom ring 13. At the same time, the top blocking ring 25 moves downward to the bottom of the rain collecting hopper 7. The first back-blowing ring 351 is located on the inner wall of the top blocking ring 25, and the second back-blowing ring 352 is located on the inner wall of the ash blocking hole 291 provided on the bottom sealing ring 29. At this time, the release pipe 33 moves downward to a certain position driven by the driven column 28. At this time, the gas inside the air storage balloon 32 is supplied with high-pressure gas to the first back-blowing ring 351 and the second back-blowing ring 352 through the release hole 361, the release pipe 33, the air supply hose 34, and the common pipe 35, for back-blowing the ash blocking hole 291 and the water blocking hole 24.
