Study on Heat Transfer Characteristics of Air-Cooled Platform of High-Voltage DC Converter Valve under Windy Conditions
taking the air-cooled platform of converter valves in a northern converter station as an example
establishes a 3D heat transfer and flow numerical model considering various factors such as heat exchanger
fan
surrounding buildings and ambient wind
investigates the influences of ambient wind on the heat exchanger inlet air temperature
fan airflow and heat exchange capacity under the prevailing wind direction in summer through th
e simulation study
and illustrates the dominant factor affecting the heat exchange performance of the air-cooled platform of the converter valves. The results show that when the ambient wind speed increases from 0 m·s
-1
to 12 m·s
-1
the average air temperature at the inlet of the air-cooled platform increases first and then decreases
and the average inlet temperature of pole 1 and pole 2 air-cooled platform fans is the highest at the wind speed of 3 m·s
-1
which increases by 5.4 ℃ and 4.0 ℃ respectively compared with the ambient temperature; the negative pressure at the lower part of the air-cooled platform decreases continuously with the increase in wind speed
leading to the continuous reduction of the fan inlet air volume
and the average air temperature of pole 1 and pole 2 air-cooled platforms at the wind speed of 12 m·s
-1
decreases by 12% and 8% respectively compared with that under the windless environment; the heat transfer of the air-cooled platform presents a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase in the ambient wind speed
and the heat transfer performance of pole 1 and pole 2 air-cooled platforms declines most seriously at the ambient wind speed of 3 m·s
-1
and decreases by 39% and 29% respectively compared with that under the windless environment. The analysis of the dominant factors affecting the heat transfer shows that the increase in the inlet temperature of the air-cooled platform caused by the return flow of hot air is the key factor causing the reduction in heat transfer. The study results can serve as a theoretical basis for the design optimization of the air-cooled platform of the converter valve.
