[0002] At present, the cooling methods for solving the on-site operating environment of the inverter mainly include: direct exhaust, indoor air conditioning, outdoor air-water cooling, outdoor water source unit heat dissipation, pure water cooling, etc. Among them, direct exhaust and indoor air conditioning are rarely used. In the existing technology, outdoor water source units and other solutions are mainly used to solve the cooling of the on-site operating environment of the inverter; however, the outdoor water source cooling unit requires the entire equipment to be installed outdoors. At the same time, it is necessary to make an outdoor installation unit, make more air ducts to connect with the inverter, and then lay the cooling water supply and return pipes. Not only is the construction period long, but the construction volume is large and the cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated water source cooling unit for external wind circulation cooling and heat dissipation of a special frequency conversion cabinet.

According to actual application needs, a group of frequency converter cabinets can use multiple integrated water source cooling units to be installed in parallel with the frequency converter cabinet to improve the cooling and heat dissipation effect.
[0029] In this embodiment, the integrated water source cooling unit and the top of the inverter cabinet are connected through a shared air hood on the cabinet top. The top of the inverter cabinet is the hot air outlet, and the top of the integrated water source cooling unit is the hot air inlet. One end of the shared air hood on the cabinet top covers the top of the integrated water source cooling unit, and the other end covers the top of the inverter cabinet. The hot air discharged from the inverter cabinet top fan is directly sent to the integrated water source cooling unit through the shared air hood on the cabinet top.
[0030] In this embodiment, the integrated water source cooling unit includes a unit housing, an evaporator arranged at the upper end of the unit housing, a condenser arranged on one side of the bottom end of the unit housing, a compressor and a gas-liquid separator on the other side, and an air duct arranged in the middle of the unit housing; wherein the unit housing is arranged in a shape similar to or the same as the inverter cabinet, generally a rectangular cabinet structure, and the cabinet housing is surrounded by closed end surfaces (it should be noted that Figure 5 The internal structure is shown in the figure, and the surrounding end surface structure of the cabinet shell is hidden), and the front end surface or the rear end surface is set as the air outlet; an expansion valve (not shown in the figure) is also arranged between the evaporator and the condenser; preferably, the evaporator adopts a V-shaped interface structure, with its larger end facing the top of the unit shell, and the gas-liquid separator is used to separate the air and water vapor.
[0031] The refrigeration principle of the integrated water source cooling unit is as follows: the main function of the compressor is to compress and transport power, turning low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the condenser turns high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, the expansion valve turns low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant into low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant, the evaporator turns low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, absorbs heat to provide cold air for the room, and finally returns to the compressor to form a complete refrigeration cycle.
[0032] The cabinet top shared hood is a rectangular hood-like structure with an opening at the lower end and a hollow center. The connection structure between the cabinet top shared hood and the unit housing and the inverter cabinet is as follows: the upper end of the unit housing is open and constitutes the return air end of the integrated water source cooling unit, and an inlet air docking flange for connecting the cabinet top shared hood is provided at its end; one end of the cabinet top shared hood is connected to the return air end of the integrated water source cooling unit through the inlet air docking flange, and the rest of the hood covers the top of the inverter cabinet. The cabinet top shared hood forms a channel for collecting hot air from the inverter cabinet, and the collected hot air is directly transported to the integrated water source cooling unit.
[0033] The condenser is provided with a water outlet interface and a water inlet interface, the water outlet interface is connected to the drain pipe, and the water inlet interface is connected to the water inlet pipe. On this basis, in this embodiment, a water inlet main valve, a filter, a water inlet pressure gauge and a water inlet temperature gauge are sequentially arranged on the water inlet pipe along the water inlet direction; a drainage temperature gauge, a drainage pressure gauge and a drainage main valve are sequentially arranged on the drainage pipe along the drainage direction. Correspondingly, other valves may be arranged on the water inlet pipe and the drainage pipe, such as a drain ball valve, a water inlet or water outlet gate valve, to facilitate the control of water inlet and outlet, which belongs to the existing mature technology, so it will not be described here.
[0034] In practical applications, the relevant parameters of the integrated water source cooling unit are as follows:
[0035] (1) Nominal cooling capacity of a single unit: 144KW, total nominal cooling capacity of two units: 288K2; (2) Inlet and outlet air circulation mode (indoor circulation): return air from the top, outlet air from the front and back of the cabinet; (3) Direction of water inlet and outlet interface: face to face (or behind the cabinet); (4) Unit size (L#HI): 1700x1700x2650m (the current unit size is an estimate, and the final size needs to be determined by subsequent in-depth design); (5) Equipment installation and foundation: installed in the same cabinet as the inverter, fixed with steel at the bottom; (6) Cooling water requirements: PH-7 industrial water or other water sources after sedimentation and filtration, the water should be free of impurities and corrosive substances Chemical substances (chloride ion content <250mg / ), water inlet temperature, 32 degrees, water pressure: 0.2pa (within 0.5mpa), total water consumption of a single device is 33m / , and total water consumption of two devices is 66m°h; (7) Installed capacity of a single NI-SYL-36KW / 4 device: three-phase five-wire system, 380VAC, 40.8KW (single device, power consumption is automatically adjusted with load); (8) Weight of a single device (estimated): 1250KG; (9) Cooling effect: When the cooling water parameter requirements are met, the inverter room temperature can be set within 30 degrees when the inverter is running at full load. .
[0036] To facilitate the monitoring of the operation of the equipment, this embodiment is provided with a humidity sensor at the return air end; a water outlet temperature sensor at the water outlet interface; and a water inlet temperature sensor at the water inlet interface. By installing the above sensors, the hot air humidity, water outlet temperature, and water inlet temperature can be monitored. The integrated water source cooling unit is connected to an external power supply, and a control panel / control box can be configured to control the equipment (for example, start and stop the equipment).
[0037] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the shared wind hood on the cabinet top collects the hot air exhausted by the fan on the cabinet top of the inverter, and sends the hot air to the integrated water source cooling unit through the return air end of the integrated water source cooling unit; the hot air passes through the evaporator of the integrated water source cooling unit and becomes cold air, which is then transported from the air outlet end of the unit casing to the inverter room to achieve heat dissipation and cooling of the inverter, and the heat is taken away by the cooling water circulation.
[0038] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the design principle and technical solution of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
