Definitions

  • Cooling arrangement On top of the nacelle of a wind turbine for example. Heat, which is generated inside the nacelle, is transferred by a cooling system to the cooling arrangement.
  • the cooling arrangement may use ambient air, which passes by, for the cooling.
  • a like graphite foam is used as porous material for the heat-transfer to the ambient air.
  • the cooling-system contains a tube, which is filled with a cooling fluid, like oil or water. Even air or other gases may be circulated inside the cooling system.
  • a cooling fluid like oil or water. Even air or other gases may be circulated inside the cooling system.
  • the cooling-system is coupled with the foam in a way that the heat is transferred from the cooling-system into the foam easily.
  • the heat exchanger may also be preferably arranged asides a blade of the wind turbine, when its nacelle needs to be cooled.
  • the heat exchanger might be an integrated part of the blade preferably.
  • the foam which is used preferably asides the heat exchanger, may be arranged inside the blade for example.
  • the heat exchanger and the foam may even be at least partly integrated asides the blade/within the blade.
  • a wind turbine is shown here, which contains a nacelle NA, a tower T, a hub HB and a blade BL.
  • the heat of the nacelle NA needs to be transferred from the heat exchanger HE into the ambient air AE, which passes by the nacelle NA and/or the heat exchanger HE.
  • the heat exchanger HE may contain at least a section with a porous material.
  • the material shows preferably a high thermal conductivity.
  • Graphite foam may be used as material preferably.
  • the heat exchanger HE contains a porous material HEPM, like graphite foam.
  • the porous material is arranged at least within a section of the heat exchanger HE.
