TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-voltage frequency converter temperature management, in particular to a device and method for high-voltage frequency converter environmental temperature treatment. BACKGROUND
[0002] The high-voltage frequency converter is a common electrical equipment in industrial production, which generates a large amount of heat during operation. Since it is installed indoors, the indoor space is relatively closed, and the heat accumulation causes the indoor environmental temperature to rise, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the frequency converter and may affect other indoor equipment. If the heat cannot be effectively dissipated in time, the internal temperature of the frequency converter will be too high, thereby affecting the normal operation and service life of the frequency converter. Purely relying on indoor ventilation equipment cannot completely discharge the heat outside, so an indoor air conditioner is usually installed for heat dissipation, but the air conditioner has high energy consumption and limited heat dissipation effect. Insufficient heat dissipation efficiency and heat accumulation: the existing high-voltage frequency converter uses a cabinet top fan to exhaust air and discharge to the indoor through a double outlet, the heat dissipation path of the exhaust air is short, and the exhaust air is easy to flow back to the air inlet of the frequency converter, causing the environmental temperature in the high-voltage frequency converter cabinet to rise and form "heat accumulation" (see Figure 1 ), which causes the high-voltage frequency converter to overheat and trip or the power device to overheat and be damaged. Currently, three indoor air conditioners with a refrigeration power of 6.9KW are installed, which have low heat exchange efficiency and are difficult to reduce the indoor temperature, and cannot meet the environmental requirements of the high-voltage frequency converter operation.

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] Please see Figures 1-6 A device for controlling the ambient temperature of a high-voltage frequency converter includes a frequency converter cabinet 7. Multiple sets of exhaust fans 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the frequency converter cabinet 7. In the environment where the frequency converter cabinet 7 is located, two sets of first heat dissipation components and second heat dissipation components are respectively symmetrically arranged for the exhaust fans 8. A cabinet top fan 5 is arranged at the top of the frequency converter cabinet 7. A hot air exhaust component is arranged at the output end of the cabinet top fan 5. A thermocouple 6 is also arranged at the top of the frequency converter cabinet 7 to measure the temperature of the environment where the frequency converter cabinet 7 is located and to determine whether to activate the first heat dissipation component.
[0016] The first heat dissipation component is a vertical air conditioner 9. The air conditioner starts cooling when the indoor temperature is above 23 degrees Celsius and stops cooling when it is below 18 degrees Celsius. The second heat dissipation component includes a ventilation opening at the closed boundary of the environment where the inverter cabinet 7 is located (if there is no ventilation opening, negative pressure will be formed indoors, resulting in poor heat dissipation) and a filter cotton 11 is installed at the ventilation opening (the outdoor air has a high dust content, and without the filter cotton, the indoor dust will be high). A canopy 12 is installed on the outside of the closed boundary of the environment where the inverter cabinet 7 is located (to prevent rainwater from entering the filter cotton and affecting the air intake).
[0017] The hot air exhaust assembly includes a steel filter mesh 1, a booster fan 2, an air duct support 3, a rectangular ventilation straight pipe 31, a rectangular ventilation 90-degree elbow 32, and a flange 4.
[0018] The top fan 5 has a branching passage at its output end, and a rectangular ventilation straight pipe 31 is connected to the horizontal end of the branching passage via a flange 4. A rectangular ventilation 90-degree elbow 32 is connected to the top of the branching passage. Another identical rectangular ventilation straight pipe 31 is connected to the horizontal output end of the rectangular ventilation 90-degree elbow 32 via a flange 4.
[0019] The rectangular ventilation duct 31 is connected to the top of the enclosed boundary of the environment where the frequency converter cabinet 7 is located through the air guide duct bracket 3; Each rectangular ventilation duct 31 is connected to a booster fan 2 at its output end. The end of the rectangular ventilation duct 31 is bent downward and is equipped with a filter steel mesh 1 (mainly to prevent small animals from entering the duct).
[0020] A cable trench 10 is provided at the bottom of the inverter cabinet 7.
[0021] A method for controlling the ambient temperature of a high-voltage frequency converter, based on the aforementioned device for controlling the ambient temperature of a high-voltage frequency converter, includes the following steps: Step 1: After the inverter cabinet 7 is started, the top fan 5 of the cabinet starts synchronously and automatically, and begins to exhaust and cool the electrical components in the phase-shifting transformer cabinet and power unit cabinet. Step 2: When thermocouple 6 detects that the temperature exceeds the set threshold, two booster fans 2 and exhaust fans 8 are started simultaneously. When the temperature of the phase-shifting transformer cabinet exceeds 80 degrees and the temperature of the power unit cabinet exceeds 60 degrees, the host computer issues a pop-up warning message, and the PLC module issues a command to start the dual-duct top booster fan. Similarly, for any one of the three transformer cabinets or two power unit cabinets (with five thermocouples installed) that exceeds the threshold, the corresponding air inlet exhaust fan in the cabinet is automatically started. When the temperature of the phase-shifting transformer cabinet is below 55 degrees and the temperature of the power unit cabinet is below 45 degrees, the PLC module issues a command to stop the dual-duct top booster fan and the air inlet exhaust fan in the cabinet, and the host computer issues a pop-up message that the equipment is operating normally.
[0022] A linkage mechanism between the heat dissipation system and temperature monitoring is established. Based on the real-time temperature of the phase-shifting transformer and power unit, the monitoring data is connected to the industrial control system and transmitted to the remote operation and maintenance platform via industrial Ethernet. This supports remote operation, monitoring, fault diagnosis, and data analysis. When the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the dual-duct top booster fan 2 and the exhaust fans 8 of the phase-shifting transformer cabinet and power unit cabinet are automatically activated, and the host computer issues a pop-up warning signal to achieve high-power heat dissipation. The operation and maintenance platform personnel use the pop-up warning signal to prompt and arrange maintenance personnel to analyze and troubleshoot the high-voltage frequency converter alarm faults, thereby achieving closed-loop management. Comparison of effects before and after improvement: (1) This invention connects the high-voltage frequency converter to the outdoor environment via a heat dissipation duct, enabling the direct exhaust of heat generated by the frequency converter to the outdoors. This effectively reduces the indoor ambient temperature and minimizes the impact of heat on indoor equipment. Before installation, the temperature inside the frequency converter power cabinet was 38 degrees Celsius; the temperature of phase A of the frequency converter's phase-shifting transformer was 58 degrees Celsius; the temperature of phase B was 60.1 degrees Celsius; and the temperature of phase C was 58 degrees Celsius. After treatment, the temperature inside the frequency converter power cabinet was 33 degrees Celsius; the temperature of phase A of the frequency converter's power unit was 49.6 degrees Celsius; the temperature of phase B was 49 degrees Celsius; and the temperature of phase C was 47 degrees Celsius. The temperature decreased by 5 to 11 degrees Celsius, significantly reducing the operating ambient temperature of the frequency converter.
[0023] (2) The rationally designed dual air duct improves heat dissipation efficiency, and the closed-loop enhanced heat dissipation system improves the suitable operating temperature environment for the frequency converter.
[0024] (3) When the indoor temperature rises in summer, the air conditioner can automatically turn on the cooling function to create a low-temperature air environment for the high-voltage inverter air inlet, so that it is not affected by the external environment and can operate stably in a wider range of regions and working conditions.
[0025] Installing air ducts saves electricity: The inverter room is equipped with three 6.9KW industrial air conditioners. Based on the annual usage of the air conditioners, it can be calculated that the three air conditioners are shut down for three months in winter, one is turned on for six months in spring and autumn, and all are turned on for three months in summer.
[0026] Each air conditioner has a power of 6.9KW, and there are a total of 3 units.
[0027] Winter electricity savings (6.9KW × 24 hours × 3 months × 3 units = 44712 kWh); Electricity saved in spring and autumn (6.9KW × 24 hours × 6 months × 2 units = 59616 kWh); Annual electricity savings: 44712 + 59616 = 10438 kWh; This is equivalent to 10,438 yuan × 0.62 yuan = 64,683 yuan.
[0028] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
