Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation, in particular to a heat dissipation system for a photovoltaic inverter. Background Art
[0002] At present, the heat dissipation method of high-power inverters usually adopts forced air cooling. The losses of the whole machine mainly come from the power modules on the machine side and the grid side, and the heat of magnetic devices such as inductors on the machine side and the grid side and the capacitance inductance inside the chassis. The inductors and power modules usually adopt aluminum radiators and fans for forced air cooling heat exchange. However, since the box of the photovoltaic inverter usually needs to meet the protection level of IP66 or above, it is very difficult for the heat of the internal devices of the chassis to be directly transferred to the outside of the chassis through mass exchange. The heat of the internal devices is usually transferred to the chassis shell by a turbulent flow fan, and then the shell transfers the heat to the external environment through natural heat dissipation and thermal radiation. The heat carried away only by the turbulent flow of the internal fan and the natural heat dissipation of the chassis is very limited. Especially after the power reaches a certain level, it is necessary to introduce an additional external device to reduce the internal loop temperature of the inverter. However, if an additional external device is introduced, due to the influence of the external device, it will not be possible to achieve the protection level of IP66, nor can efficient heat exchange be carried out, and the volume of the chassis occupied by it will increase significantly.
