Cooling-arrangement
Abstract
A cooling-arrangement is provided. The arrangement for cooling includes a device and a heat exchanger. The device is coupled with the heat exchanger in a way, that heat, which is generated inside the device, is transferred from the device to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is at least partly arranged into an ambient airflow. The heat exchanger is constructed in a way that the heat is transferred from the heat exchanger into the ambient airflow. The heat exchanger contains a suction side and a pressure side, which are arranged and constructed in a way that the ambient air, which passes by close to the sides, is accelerated for an improved heat transfer.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 13 . (canceled)
14 . An arrangement for the cooling of a device, comprising:
a heat exchanger coupled with the device in a way that heat which is generated inside the device, is transferred from the device to the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger comprising:
a suction side, and
a pressure side,
wherein the heat exchanger is at least partly arranged into an ambient airflow, while the heat exchanger is constructed in a way that the heat is transferred from the heat exchanger into the ambient airflow, and wherein the suction side and the pressure side are arranged and constructed in a way that the ambient air, which passes by close to the sides, is accelerated for the heat transfer.
15 . The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the device is at least partly arranged into the ambient airflow.
16 . The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the heat exchanger is at least partly arranged into a housing.
17 . The arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the housing shows a cross section of an airfoil.
18 . The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the heat exchanger shows a cross section of an airfoil.
19 . The arrangement according to claim 14 ,
wherein the heat exchanger includes a porous material within at least a section of the heat exchanger, and wherein the porous material is arranged in a way that due to a pressure difference, which is induced between the sides of the shaped heat exchanger, an additional air flow is induced and is guided through the porous material for an additional cooling purpose.
20 . The arrangement according to claim 19 , wherein the porous material is a high thermal conductivity material.
21 . The arrangement according to claim 19 , wherein the porous material is graphite-foam.
22 . The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the device and the heat exchanger are connected by a closed cooling-system, which is arranged and used to transfer the heat from the device to the heat exchanger.
23 . The arrangement according to claim 22 , wherein the closed cooling-system comprises a tube, which is filled with a cooling fluid.
24 . The arrangement according to claim 22 , wherein the closed cooling-system is coupled with the foam in a way that the heat is transferred from the cooling-system into the foam.
25 . The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the device is a nacelle of a wind turbine.
26 . The arrangement according to claim 25 , wherein the heat exchanger is arranged on top of the nacelle.
27 . The arrangement according to claim 25 , wherein the heat exchanger is at least partly integrated in a blade of the wind turbine.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
