Forced cooling systems

As discussed later, the enclosure of an IPB may carry induced currents up to 95% of the current through the main conductors. Accordingly, the enclosure is designed to carry longitudinal parasitic currents up to 90-95% of the rated current of the main busbars. The cross-sectional area of the enclosure is therefore maintained almost equal to and even more than the main conductors to account for the dissipation of heat of the main conductors through the enclosure only, unless an additional forced cooling system is also adopted. The outdoors part of the enclosure exposed to atmospheric conditions is also subjected to solar radiation. Provision must be made to dissipate this additional heat, from the enclosure. 

Vk, Vk2 and Vk (W. when considering the outdoor part) can thus be determined. The total heal, Vk, so generated can be naturally dissipated through the enclosure by radiation and convection. If natural cooling is not adequate, forced cooling can be adopted through forced air or water. But precautions must be taken to ensure that the system is protected from absorbing dirt, dust or moisture from the atmosphere. 

The continuous current rating of a bus system can be defined by the current at which a steady-state thermal condition can be reached. It is a balance between the enclosure and the conductor s heat gain and heat loss. If this temperature is more than the permissible steady-state thermal limit it must be reduced to the desired level by increasing the size of the conductor or the enclosure or both, or by adopting forced cooling. Otherwise the rating of the bus system will have to be reduced accordingly. 

In fact, it is the solar effect that is causing the maximum heat. The factors considered for the solar effect are also highly conservative. Nevertheless, a canopy over the outdoor part is advisable in the above case. This will ensure the same size of enclosure for the outdoor as well as the indoor parts and also eliminate the requirement for a thicker enclosure or a forced cooling arrangement. Now there will be no direct solar radiation over the bus system and the total solar effect can be eliminated, except for substituting the indoor ambient temperature of 48 C with the maximum outdoor temperature for the outdoor part of the bus system. 

Forced coolant systems using a mixture of glycol and water are the most common for natural gas compressors. Normally, the compressor cylinder cooling system and compressor frame lube oil cooling system is combined. A single pump is used to circulate the coolant through the cylinders and the lube oil heat exchanger and then to an aerial cooler where the heat is dissipated. 

When forced coolant systems are used, care must be taken to provide the coolant at the proper temperature. If the cylinder is too cool, liquids could condense from the suction gas stream. Thus, it is desirable to keep the coolant temperature 10°F higher than that of the suction gas. If the cylinder is too hot, gas throughput capacity is lost due to the gas heating and expanding. Therefore, it is desirable to limit the coolant temperature to less than 30°F above that of the suction gas. 

The developed theory of two-phase laminar flow with a distinct interface which is based on a one-dimensional approximation, takes into account the major features of the process the inertia, gravity, surface tension and friction forces and leads to the physically realistic pattern of a laminar flow in a heated micro-channel. This allows one to use the present theory to study the regimes of flow as well as optimizing a cooling system of electronic devices with high power densities. 

There are two types of snow cooling system. One is direct heat exchanging system and the other is indirect heat exchanging system. Direct heat exchanging system is the same as the forced convection type. Room air is circulated between a room and a stored snow room by fans and cooled directly. The advantages of this system are...

Two potential disadvantages of temperature programming are the inevitable delay between consecutive chromatographic runs whilst the oven is cooled down and a stable starting temperature re-established, and the possible decomposition of thermally-labile compounds at the higher temperatures. Computer-controlled systems have improved the reproducibility of temperature programming, and automated forced cooling of the oven... 

This implies the use of an efficient cooling system employing, as we shall see later, a forced circulation of cooling liquid. 

The analyses applied to the simplest two-variable autocatalytic system in the previous sections can obviously be brought to bear on other systems. Much effort has been expended on the first-order non-isothermal model of chapter 7, and very similar ranges of complexity are found. Up to 35 phase portraits have been predicted for the full system with the Arrhenius temperature dependence and forced cooling, with different combinations of one or three stationary states and up to three limit cycles of varying stability. 

It is seldom that a cooling system exhibits only one type of corrosion within its water circuits. Even with well-protected and well-managed systems there are a variety of forces at work in different parts of the system capable of inducing several types of corrosion and mechanical damage simultaneously. Often, in any individual location, more than one corrosion mechanism is present and resultant metal wastage may be a combination of several factors or corrosion mechanisms.
