Liquid cooling for demanding conditions

Industrial drives are used to control the speed, torque, and direction of electric motors in various applications, from manufacturing to automation. They are essential for optimizing the performance and efficiency of industrial processes. Robust cooling solutions are necessary to manage the heat generated by power electronics and motors, ensuring reliable operation and preventing overheating under heavy loads.   

Liquid cooling systems are becoming more common to ensure effective heat dissipation and maintain the reliability of industrial drives, especially under the following conditions:   

  1. High Power Levels: High-power industrial drives, such as medium-voltage frequency converters, generate significant heat that is challenging to manage with air cooling alone. Liquid cooling is more efficient in these cases. 
  1. Limited Space: Liquid cooling allows for a more compact design, as it is more efficient than air cooling and requires less space for cooling components. 
  1. Noise Requirements: Liquid cooling is quieter than air cooling, which is important in environments where noise levels are a critical factor. 
  1. Demanding Environmental Conditions: Industrial drives operating in harsh environments, such as high temperatures or dusty conditions, benefit from liquid cooling because it is less susceptible to environmental influences. 
  1. Long-term Reliability: Liquid cooling helps maintain the temperature of industrial drives at optimal levels, extending their lifespan and improving reliability. 

Cooling requirements

Industrial drives generate significant heat during operation, especially under heavy loads. Efficient cooling systems are necessary to prevent overheating, ensure reliable operation, and maintain the performance of power electronics and motors.   

Closed-loop liquid cooling application:

A closed-loop liquid cooling system can circulate coolant through power electronic converters and inverters, removing heat and transferring it to the facility’s technical water system via a water-to-water heat exchanger or to a dry cooler. This setup ensures reliable and efficient cooling, maintaining continuous operation and enhancing the safety and efficiency of industrial drives.
