  • Patent number: 9251947
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a liquid cooling arrangement of an inductive component and a method for manufacturing the inductive component. The inductive component comprises at least a core (1) assembled from separate structural elements (7, 7a, 7b) as well as liquid cooling ducts (8a) integrated into the core (1) for the purpose of liquid cooling and a winding structure (3) around the core (1). The core (1) is assembled from subassemblies formed from structural elements (7, 7a, 7b), which subassemblies are separately composed of e.g. vertical pillars (35), a top horizontal beam (36) and a bottom horizontal beam (37), and cooling liquid ducts (8a) or cooling liquid pipes (10) are placed in at least a part of the subassemblies before final assembly of the core (1).

  • Patent number: 8928442
    Abstract: The object of the invention is an inductive component equipped with a liquid cooling and a method for manufacturing an inductive component. The inductive component comprises at least a core (2) assembled from separate structural elements (8, 8a, 8b), a winding (5), and connection means (7) as well as ducts (9) integrated into the core (2) for the purpose of liquid cooling. Each structural element (8, 8a, 8b) comprises an aperture (9a, 13, 18) made in the manufacturing phase of the structural element (8, 8a, 8b), which aperture extends through the structural element and is a short part of the duct (9) intended for the purpose of liquid cooling.

  • Patent number: 8456263
    Abstract: The scope of the invention is a winding arrangement for an inductive component that consists at least of a core (9) and of a winding structure placed around the core and consisting of planar winding sheets (11). Inside the winding structure there is cooling medium that is adapted to transfer excess heat away from the winding.

  • Publication number: 20100308951
    Abstract: This invention relates to the manufacture of inductive components and electric energy filters. Particularly, this invention relates to the manufacture of a large magnetic core piece. The magnetic core consists of at least one set of essentially identical constituents (1) compressed out of a powdery material. The constituents are assembled in such a way that they prevent each other from moving in at least one direction.
