6 FAQs about [Wind turbine air cooler]

How is a wind turbine cooled?

Wind turbines are typically cooled by enclosing the generator in a duct and using a large fan for air cooling. Some manufacturers offer water-cooled generators that require a radiator in the nacelle to void the heat from the liquid cooling matrix. (On most wind turbines this cooling is accomplished...)

What is an active air cooling system inside a wind turbine nacelle?

An active air cooling system inside a wind turbine nacelle features an air-to-air heat exchanger for managing heat in the generator (Vensys). This system is crucial for managing the increasing heat within the wind turbine's limited nacelle space, despite efficiency improvements.

Do wind turbines need a water cooling system?

Key components in wind turbines, such as gearboxes, generators, converters and power packs, become less effective as they heat up during use. So keeping them at the right temperature is crucial if you want to get the best performance out of your wind turbine. Water cooling systems are pressurised and require a sealed expansion tank.

How does a wind turbine's cooling system work?

A wind turbine's cooling system for its medium voltage (Up to 12 MW) converter works using a closed-loop unit with a mix of deionized water and glycol (ABB).

What is a liquid cooling system for wind turbine electronics?

Parker Hannifin is one supplier of liquid cooling systems for wind turbine electronics. Their Vaporizable Dielectric Fluid (VDF) system provides heat transfer capability significantly greater than that of water. The VDF system requires less fluid and lower pump rates.

Why do wind turbines need a cooler?

Key components in your wind turbines become less effective as they heat up during use. Keeping your gearboxes, generators, converters and power packs at the right temperature is crucial if you want to get the best performance out of your wind turbine. We design, manufactire and test the coolers at our facility.
