  • Patent number: 11574769
    Abstract: Provided is a brace apparatus for a transformer tank and a method for determining the length thereof. The brace apparatus is mounted on a transformer tank so as to reinforce the transformer tank. The brace apparatus has a brace main body forming the exterior thereof, and in order to block the occurrence of resonance in an inner space of the brace main body, the length of the brace main body is set to be at a value at which resonance does not occur in the inner space, or a partition plate is provided to the brace main body so as to block the occurrence of resonance. In present invention, the length of the brace apparatus may be set by means of a simple configuration, thereby enabling the prevention of noise from occurring due to resonance.

  • Patent number: 11555653
    Abstract: A vapor/liquid condensation system includes a condensation unit and an evaporation unit. The condensation unit is connected with the evaporation unit via conduits. The evaporation unit has a liquid inlet, a vapor outlet and an evaporation chamber in communication with each other. The evaporation unit converts liquid-phase working fluid into vapor-phase working fluid, which spreads to the condensation unit. The condensation unit cools and condenses the vapor-phase working fluid into liquid-phase working fluid, which goes back the evaporation unit. After the vapor-phase working fluid enters the condensation unit, the vapor-phase working fluid is distributed and condensed into liquid-phase working fluid. Then the liquid-phase working fluid is collected and then goes back to the evaporation unit. The length of the pipeline is shortened and the pipeline pressure is lowered to avoid interruption of heat dissipation circulation and failure in heat dissipation.
