Publication number: 20230018694Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a medium voltage switchgear includes an evaporator section; a fluid conduit; and a condenser section. The evaporator section surrounds a current carrying contact and is configured such that fluid within the evaporator section can contact an outer surface of the current carrying contact. The evaporator section is fluidly connected to the fluid conduit. At least part of the evaporator section is electrically insulating and is connected to the fluid conduit. The fluid conduit is fluidly connected to the condenser section. In use, a working fluid in the evaporator section is heated to a vapor state, the vapor is transferred by the fluid conduit to the condenser section, and the vapor in the condenser section is condensed to the working fluid. The working fluid is passively returned to the evaporator section.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Michael Kessler, Adrian Stadnicki, Oleksandr Sologubenko, Olaf Fussbahn, Oliver Claus

Patent number: 10627002Abstract: A transmission control device has two mutually oppositely arranged counter-components, for example control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate, which is arranged between the two counter-components. The transmission control plate seals the clearance between the two counter-components or their channel portions and bores in the form of a flat seal. The plate also provides through-openings between channels or bores, respectively, in the opposing counter-components, where the fluid in the channels controls the function of a transmission. The sealing function is realized by stamped beads and/or partial coatings. Transmission control plates therefore have fluid through-flow openings so the fluid can flow through from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbHInventors: Robert Blersch, Oliver Claus, Georg Egloff, Kurt Hoehe, Matthias Pendzialek

Patent number: 9761393Abstract: A method for production of a pole part of a medium-voltage switching device, and a pole part are provided. To obviate costly pressure reinforcements at least on the switching contact side of the vacuum interrupt chamber in the area of the mold core, while also achieving an optimum injection-molded result, a compensation ring is positioned, before the encapsulation process, as a separate injection-molded seal on or close to the external circumferential line of a vacuum interrupt chamber cover, between the lower cover of the vacuum interrupt chamber and the mold core. The positioned compensation ring is also encapsulated so as to remain in the encapsulation, and the mold core is then removed.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2010Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Oliver Claus, Dietmar Gentsch, Christof Humpert
