Vibration stabilizer for enclosure cooling fins

摘要

An enclosure for an electrical apparatus includes a tank having a bank of corrugate affixed to one or more walls thereof, with the bank of corrugate including a plurality of cooling fins in fluid communication with a volume of the tank via a plurality of openings formed in the walls, such that cooling fluid can flow into the cooling fins. A cross member is affixed to the bank of corrugate along each of a top surface and a bottom surface thereof and extends along a length of the corrugate at a distal end of the cooling fins. Vibration stabilizers are provided to control vibrations in the corrugate bank, with the vibration stabilizer having a gusset plate joined to the cross member and extending between a pair of adjacent cooling fins and stabilizer with a first end attached to the tank and a second end attached to the gusset plate.

1. An enclosure for an electrical apparatus, the enclosure comprising:
a tank comprising a plurality of walls that define a tank volume capable of containing a cooling fluid therein, one or more of the plurality of walls including openings formed therein that provide an inlet and outlet for the cooling fluid; a bank of corrugate affixed to each of the one or more of the plurality of walls that include the openings formed therein, the bank of corrugate comprising a plurality of cooling fins in fluid communication with the tank volume via the plurality of openings such that cooling fluid can flow into the plurality of cooling fins; and a cross member affixed to the bank of corrugate along each of a top surface and a bottom surface of the bank of corrugate, at an end of the cooling fins distal from the tank, with each cross member extending along a length of the bank of corrugate; one or more vibration stabilizers configured to control vibrations in the corrugate bank, each of the one or more vibration stabilizers comprising:
a gusset plate joined to the cross member and extending between a pair of adjacent cooling fins; anda plurality of stabilizer members each comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each of the plurality of stabilizer members is attached to the tank and the second end of each of the plurality of stabilizer members is attached to the gusset plate.
