Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a transformer, specifically to a water-cooled transformer heat dissipation device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern power systems, transformers are crucial equipment. Their main function is to convert high-voltage electricity to low-voltage electricity, or vice versa, to facilitate long-distance power transmission and safe use. However, transformers generate a lot of heat during operation, especially under high load or long-term operation, which can easily lead to overheating, affecting their performance, lifespan, and even causing safety hazards.

[0003] Traditional transformer cooling methods primarily rely on air cooling, depending on natural convection or forced convection by fans to remove heat. However, this method is often insufficient under high load conditions, easily leading to overheating of the transformer and affecting its normal operation.

[0004] Because air has a low specific heat capacity, air cooling systems are less efficient than liquid cooling systems. Especially in high-temperature environments, the heat exchange capacity of airflow is greatly reduced, making it impossible to effectively and promptly remove the heat generated by the transformer.
