[0002] As is well known, power transformers contain various heat sources that generate losses, such as resistive losses and eddy current losses. Under given load and environmental conditions, the cooling system must be able to dissipate the generated heat to ensure that the transformer does not exceed the specified permissible temperature limits. If these limits are exceeded, the insulation materials may be damaged, thereby shortening the transformer's service life.
[0003] As the most widely used heat dissipation equipment for power transformers, plate radiators usually use fans to increase the airflow in order to enhance the heat dissipation effect, so that the gaps between the radiator plates can dissipate heat better. This cooling method (AF) provides a much greater heat dissipation capacity than natural convection (AN).
