Abstract
The use of a vaporizable dielectric fluid is proposed and demonstrated in a proof-of-concept electrical drive system utilizing medium-range 1200 VAC 450 A IGBT devices. Comparative empirical data is shown for a drive system utilizing production components for a traditional air-cooled extruded aluminum heat sink thermal solution for each IGBT module, versus several water-cooled liquid cold plate solutions and a single-cabinet 750 kW, 1,000-horsepower drive system utilizing low-flow, pumped liquid multiphase cooling. Positive and negative attributes of each thermal solution are described.
提出了一种可蒸发的介电流体的使用,并在使用中程1200 VAC 450 a IGBT设备的概念验证电驱动系统中进行了演示。对比经验数据显示了采用传统风冷挤压铝散热器散热解决方案的驱动系统,与几种水冷液体冷板解决方案和采用低流量泵送液体多相冷却的单机柜750千瓦,1000马力驱动系统的驱动系统。描述了每种热溶液的正、负属性。
