Publication number: 20170112020Abstract: A system includes a front plate, a manifold cover, and bridge heat sinks. The manifold cover is secured to the front plate to define a fluid distribution chamber along a front side of the front plate. The manifold cover defines a port opening through which a cooling fluid is received from outside of the manifold cover. The bridge heat sinks extend rearward from a back side of the front plate. The bridge heat sinks define fluid channels that are fluidly connected with the fluid distribution chamber through corresponding slots in the front plate. The fluid distribution chamber is configured to distribute the cooling fluid received from outside of the manifold cover through the fluid channels of the bridge heat sinks in order to cool one or more electronics packages disposed along the bridge heat sinks without the cooling fluid engaging the one or more electronics packages.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2015Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Andrew Louis Krivonak, Shreenath Shekar Perlaguri, Rajendra Yammanuru, Arunpandi Radhakrishnan, Theodore Clark Brown

Publication number: 20170112021Abstract: An arrangement for cooling components of a subsea electric system including a tank filled with a dielectric fluid. The tank includes first and second sections. The arrangement includes one first electric component within the first section, and one second electric component within the second section. The arrangement includes a first heat exchanger located outside the tank and in fluid contact with the tank, and arranged during operation to be in thermal contact with sea water. The arrangement includes a pump arranged to force a flow of dielectric fluid through the first heat exchanger. Flow of dielectric fluid in the tank is by both natural and forced convection generated by the pump. The first electric component generates more heat than the second electric component. Within the first section the share of the flow by natural convection is greater than within the second section.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2015Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Thomas Gradinger, Tor Laneryd
