Efficient cooling solutions
What will the energy supply of the future look like? Due to the energy transition, energy generation from wind turbines is increasingly becoming the focus of electricity supply companies. An important part of a wind turbine is the protection of the individual components against overheating. Whether for nacelle ventilation, generator cooling, switch cabinet ventilation, tower air cooling or converter and transformer cooling – our fans are suitable for every requirement in the field of wind turbines. Thanks to many years of expertise, these fans have been developed to meet the highest technical demands.
Advantages of our fans:
- Optimal air flow
- Minimal maintenance
- Optimised noise behaviour
- Various operating voltages (at 50/60 Hz)
- Maximum efficiency at variable speeds
- Smooth operation even with vibration and voltage peaks
- Space-saving installation thanks to direct drives using external rotor motors
Applications for wind turbines
The nacelle of a wind turbine houses many high-tech components, some of which emit heat into the surrounding environment. It is essential that this heat is dissipated to ensure the smooth operation of the turbine.
This task is performed by our fans from the DRAE / DRAD, ANDB and DQ / DR series, for example.
In the generator, kinetic energy (energy of motion) is converted into electrical energy. This conversion results in heat losses. To protect the generator from overheating, this waste heat must be dissipated.
Our DRAE / DRAD series centrifugal fans are ideally suited for this task.
Switch cabinets are essential for perfectly coordinating the components of a wind turbine. Here too, sufficient heat dissipation is required to protect the sensitive electrical components.
Our plug fans with free-running wheels in a wide variety of designs, as well as centrifugal fans from the ERAE / ERAD series, have been specially developed for this area of application.
Tower air cooling in a wind turbine can only be achieved with large volume flows.
For this reason, various axial fans and plug fans with free-running wheels with standard motors from the DKNM / DKNB / DKNR series are used here.
The cooling of other electronic components, such as converters or transformers, is also no problem for our individually designed fans. It does not matter whether the cooling is to take place in the nacelle or the base of a wind turbine.
