Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment cooling technology, specifically a horizontal water supply cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, electric fracturing frequency converter skids on the market, as high-power power electronic devices, generate significant heat accumulation during operation. Due to the extremely high power density inside these devices and the complex and variable application environments, an effective heat dissipation solution is crucial to ensuring stable operation. Water cooling, due to its high efficiency, has become the preferred solution for heat dissipation of electric fracturing frequency converter skids.
[0003] Existing electric fracturing variable frequency skid-mounted water cooling systems typically employ a cooling water circulation system for heat dissipation. The system works as follows: cooling water, driven by the water supply unit, enters the frequency converter, exchanges heat with the converter's power components, and then carries the heat through pipes to an external air heat exchanger. In the air heat exchanger, the cooling water is cooled and flows back to the water supply unit, where it re-enters the frequency converter for heat exchange, thus forming a closed-loop system.
[0004] However, existing electric fracturing frequency converter skid-mounted water cooling systems have a series of problems. First, these systems are typically equipped with only a single water pump, resulting in low flow rate and low cooling efficiency, which in turn affects the overall reliability of the machine. Second, most water cooling systems use vertical water pumps. Because the pumps are heavy and located in the middle of the system, the overall center of gravity is high, increasing maintenance difficulty and hindering transportation and use. Furthermore, the electrical control boxes inside the water cooling systems often use air cooling. When these systems are placed inside electric fracturing frequency converter containers, the limited internal space leads to heat concentration, resulting in poor heat dissipation inside the electrical control boxes, further affecting the stable operation of the equipment.

This invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing water cooling devices, such as low flow rate, high center of gravity hindering transportation, low air cooling efficiency, installation limitations due to air cooling, high space requirements for installation and inverter integration, complex installation coordination, and difficult inverter debugging.

A conductivity sensor 63 is also connected to the third pipe section 20C. The pressure sensor 61 and the temperature sensor 62 detect parameters such as temperature and hydraulic pressure within the circulation system, respectively. The conductivity sensor 63 detects the conductivity of the liquid within the overall liquid cooling circulation system, ensuring the liquid's insulation performance.
[0036] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 A horizontal water supply cooling device includes an electrical control cabinet 13, which is located on the upper front of the main water supply device 11 to facilitate human-machine interaction.
