Air -cooled type STATCOM

SIEYUAN Technical solution--Air-cooled

 Hot air is directly discharged to

the outdoors, and a large amount of

indoor and outdoor air exchange

 Affected by wind, sand, salt spray,

humidity, rain and snow, etc.

 Heavy daily maintenance workload

 As the running time increases, the

STATCOM failure rate increases

 SIEYUAN Technical solution--Air-cooled

 STATCOM room airtight

 Hot air discharged indoors

 Cooling by air conditioner

 SIEYUAN Technical solution——Conclusion

 The water cooling method is mature and reliable, and it is the commonly
used cooling method
 one main & one spare pump ， improve the operation reliability ；
 FEP water pipe — solid and endurance, good insulation, good chemical
stability, sealing treatment at the interface ；
 Add ethylene glycol into cooling liquid, at minus 35 degrees without
freezing ；
 The coolant is filtered by deionized resin to reduce the conductivity of pure
water and ensure the equipment withstand voltage and insulation
performance ；
 SIEYUAN Technical solution——Conclusion

 The high-level water tank is used as a buffer device to absorb the impact of
the pump, the thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant, and the
exhaust function ；
 Spare water tank with automatic water replenishment function ；
 Water cooling system maintenance only needs to check the water pump,
remove and wash the filter, check the instrument, etc., only once a year ；
