Heat exchanger assembly for cooling a heat-generating component
2011-6-12According to the summary published by the World Health Organization: "A combined heat exchanger cooling a heat generating component such as a generator or a power electronics module, a wind turbine nacelle includes a thermoelectric element as Peltier element has a first section arranged in a first region of relatively high temperature in contact with the heat exchanger that generates heat or in the vicinity thereof, and a second section arranged in a second zone of relatively low temperature. The thermoelectric element is configured to transfer heat from the first region of relatively high temperature for the second region of relatively low temperature of electrical energy. A power source is supplied to the thermoelectric element, and a control unit can be provided to control the supply of energy to control the temperature of the heat exchanger surface or surface cooled by the thermoelectric element.
An additional cooling elements, including a so-called heat pipes can be made to increase heat exchanger cooling efficiency. "
