Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cables, in particular to a novel oil-cooling cable structure. Background Art

[0002] At present, liquid-cooled cables are divided into indirect cooling and immersion cooling. Indirect cooling liquid-cooled cables generally bury the liquid cooling tube inside the cable. Due to the large thermal resistance of the liquid cooling tube, the heat exchange efficiency is low and the heat dissipation effect is poor, so the flow requirement of the system is relatively large. In addition, water is used as a cooling medium, and there is a risk of electric shock if there is a leak. Immersion cooling cables directly immerse the cable in the coolant for cooling. A gap is set between the conductor and the insulation layer of the cable or in the center of the conductor. The coolant flows in the gap to take away the heat. However, this cooling method does not specify the support method of the cable in the flow channel, which is difficult to implement. More importantly, once a bend occurs during use, the flow channel will be blocked, causing the liquid-cooled cable to be cut off, which will further seriously affect the service life of the cable. To this end, a new oil-cooled cable structure is now developed. Utility Model Content
