Circulation
pump, monitoring devices for flow, temperature
and conductivity are part the converter
assembly.
The advantages air cooling are:
• simplicity
• overload capability for short duty cycles
• permits converters installed where
cooling water not available. The
air the closed cooling circuit cooled
by air-to-air air-to-water heat
exchanger.
• Closed-circuit:
The cooling air circulates closed
circuit inside the converter cubicles.Efficient cooling means
higher reliability
Air-cooling
• Open-circuit:
Fans force the cooling air through the
thyristor heat sinks.
All components are wired and the system
tested the works prior delivery which
considerably reduces the time required for
erection and commissioning site.

This method suitable plants with
clean air conditions.
The advantages water cooling are:
• space-saving layout
• losses easily conveyed from control room
• higher ambient temperature permissible
• less noise
• fully enclosed cubicle with protection
class IP55 (protection against dust
and splash water) for noise reduction and
severe ambient conditions available

Water-cooling
Deionised water flows closed-circuit
through the thyristor heat sinks and around
the snubber circuit resistors and cooled by
either water-to-water water-to-air heat
exchanger. This method necessary for high
power applications and plants with dusty
and/or aggressive atmospheres. cooling water pipes have be
