Abstract:
A cooling arrangement (100) for at least one electrical element for electrical conversion, comprising an electrically insulating medium (200) for insulation of the at least one electrical element, at least one condenser (300) configured to condense the medium from a gaseous state to a liquid state, at least one heat-exchanging element (600) fluidly connected to the at least one condenser and configured for thermal contact with the at least one electrical element for cooling the at least one electrical element by the medium, wherein the at least one heat-exchanging element is configured to evaporate the medium from a liquid state during cooling of the at least one electrical element and to discharge the evaporated medium, and at least one circulation means (700) configured to circulate the medium from the condenser(s) to the heat-exchanging element(s), and to circulate the medium discharged from the heat-exchanging element(s) back to the condenser(s).
Abstract:
A converter valve arrangement is disclosed, including a converter cell, a first and second semiconductor switch element, a container and a two-phase cooling system including at least one evaporator arranged in thermal contact with the semiconductor switch elements and to at least partly evaporate a dielectric working fluid. The two-phase cooling system and the converter cell are arranged within the container, and a fluid return line is arranged to receive a two-phase flow from the at least one evaporator. During operation, the converter valve arrangement may include an electrically critical region between the container and the converter cell, and the two-phase cooling system is arranged to generate a single-phase flow including only a gas phase or a liquid phase of the dielectric working fluid from the two-phase flow received by the fluid return line, and to convey the single-phase flow through the electrically critical region.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a converter cell including a capacitor unit, at least one switching device and an electrical arrangement. The capacitor unit may extend along an axial direction and may include a plurality of pieces. A piece may form a section of the capacitor unit and at least one of the pieces may include at least one capacitor element.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to gas-insulated electrical apparatuses, in particular gas-insulated transformers or reactors, comprising a housing enclosing an interior space, in which an electrical component comprising a winding is arranged, at least a portion of the interior space defining an insulation space which is filled with an insulation fluid electrically insulating at least a part of the electrical component from the housing. According to the invention, the electrical apparatus further comprises a cooling element comprising a condenser, an evaporator and a cooling fluid to be circulated between the condenser and the evaporator. The evaporator is designed such that at least a part of the electric component is immersed in the cooling fluid in its liquid state, thus being in direct contact with the cooling fluid.
