Cooling system for adjustable electric drive
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a cooling arrangement for an adjustable electric drive. The arrangement is arranged to conduct heat generated in electric devices by means of a liquid flowing through the cooling element to the surrounding space. The arrangement comprises a cooling element which is made of aluminum and to which components to be cooled can be fastened, and a base having means for fastening the cooling element. The arrangement is characterized in that the base is made of an aluminum profile that is stiffened and has mounting rails for receiving the cooling element and for preventing the movement of the cooling element transversely to the longitudinal direction of the mounting rails, and the cooling element can be fastened perpendicular to the profile base by using fastening means that support the cooling element so that components can be fastened to the cooling element, whereby the combined base and cooling element serve as a heat-conducting support base of the frequency converter.
1. A cooling arrangement for an adjustable electric drive, especially in the structure of an encased frequency converter, the arrangement comprising:
a base having a means for fastening the cooling element, and
an aluminum cooling element installed in a vertical position to the base by a fastening means,
wherein
the base is an aluminum profile which is profiled such that it has mounting rails between which said cooling element is installed parallel to said mounting rails
whereby the combined base and cooling element serve as a heat-conducting support base of the frequency converter.
2. A cooling arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling element can be fastened to a middle of the base so that heat-generating elements can be fastened to side surfaces of the cooling element.
3. A cooling arrangement as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cooling element is sufficiently large so that all components of the frequency converter can be fastened to sides of the cooling element.
4. A cooling arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting rails are arranged to a stiffened section of the base.
