SUBSEA ENCLOSURE SYSTEM FOR DISPOSAL OF GENERATED HEAT

摘要

A subsea enclosure system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the subsea enclosure system includes an enclosure adapted to be deployed under water; a heat generating electric or electronic component arranged in the enclosure; and a non-fluid block including an electrically insulating, thermally conductive material. The non-fluid block is, on at least one surface, in direct contact with the heat generating electronic component and, on another surface, in contact with the inner surface of one or more walls of the pressure resistant enclosure, enabling the non-fluid transfer of heat from the electronic component to the wall of the enclosure when the subsea enclosure system is operating.

1. A subsea enclosure system, comprising:
an enclosure adapted to be deployed under water; a heat generating electric or electronic component arranged in the enclosure, the heat generating electric or electronic component being configured to generate heat in operation; a non-fluid block including at least a first layer of an electrically insulating, thermally conductive ceramic material, wherein the non-fluid block is, on at least one surface, in direct contact with the heat generating electric or electronic component and, on another surface, in direct contact with an inner surface of at least one wall of the enclosure, so as to enable the non-fluid transfer of heat from the heat generating electric or electronic component to the at least one wall of the enclosure via the non-fluid block when the subsea enclosure system is deployed under water in an operating state.
