How Rectifier Chooses Water Cooling Or Air Cooling?
Typically there are three methods of cooling methods of rectifiers, air cooling, water cooling and oil cooling. Here we introduce the advantages and disadvantages of water cooling and air cooling: For high power DC power supply, the environment condition is not good such as with corrosive fumes, much dust, very high environment temperature, requires high IP rating, water cooling is more suitable. Like some special environments and sub-tropical climate areas, such as electroplating, anodizing, electrolysis etc. environment, we generally recommend water cooling rectifier. 1) Water cooling Rectifier: The heat generated by the power semiconductor components inside rectifier will be dissipated through circulated cooling water, cold water(lower than 35℃) goes into the rectifier cooling loop and get hoter water out, through this circulation, the heat is dissipated to keep the rectifier running normally. Advantages of water cooling: A. Less maintenance needed, no need to change cool
