Closed-loop cooling system
Many 1.5MW wind turbines use traditional open-loop water/glycol cooling systems. Regular water evaporation
in the reservoir elevates the mixture’s viscosity, prohibiting cooling of the IGBT and associated critical controls, causing the wind turbine to overheat unless serviced, which, in turn, means turbine downtime and high maintenance costs. Parker’s KleenVent Coolant Evaporation Inhibitor (KV-CEI) is a simple add-on to the legacy cooling system, that eliminates water evaporation in the coolant solution and stops the ingress of airborne contaminants, by enclosing the cooling loop. e KVCEI also removes the need for continuous coolant monitoring during the warm season. Traditional maintenance calls to replenish or rebalance the uids, take the wind turbine and transformer o ine, resulting in signi cant downtime and revenue loss. Parker’s cooling system solution optimizes wind turbine uptime and revenue, reduces maintenance costs, and increases overall e ciencies.
