Seawater-based, low maintenance dual circuit cooling system for wind power system has electrodes at intervals on open cooling circuit pipeline inner walls connected to high voltage alternating supply

摘要

The system has a heat absorber for the heat generated by electronic and/or mechanical devices and to be carried away and a coupled heat output device (12) for outputting heat to surrounding water (14). The heat absorbing device has a first fluid coolant cooling circuit that transfers heat in a heat exchanger (20) to the output device, which has an open cooling circuit (22) with the surrounding water. The inner walls of the pipelines (30) of the open cooling circuit have electrodes (36a-36f) at intervals connected to a voltage supply for generating a high alternating voltage between at least two electrodes.
