4 FAQs about Wind power water cooling system

Is air cooling a good idea for a wind turbine?

Air-cooling has served small-scale wind turbines well over the years, but has proven impractical when trying to remove the heat produced in a Megawatt-scale system. The thermal capacity of air being so low simply makes it difficult to blow enough air across a motor or through the converter to maintain reliable operating temperatures.

Can high-power electronics be cooled in wind turbines?

To address the unique challenges of cooling high-power electronics in wind turbines, Parker Hannifin (Precision Cooling Systems) has developed a compelling alternative.

Which wind turbine is cooled by a Heatex closed-loop cooling system?

GE Renewable Energy's Haliade-X, one of the most powerful wind turbines in the world, is cooled by a Heatex custom-made closed-loop cooling system. Read Case Study CSIC HZ Windpower's 10MW H210-10.0 turbine is now in full serial production and operating outside the coast of Shandong in China. Read Case Study

Can evaporative cooling be used in a wind turbine converter?

While the technical data shown in Figure 3 was focused on the power conversion electronics that would be used in a typical wind turbine converter, the same thermal benefits are achieved when comparing evaporative cooling for liquid cooled generators and transformers.
