Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which certain embodiments of the invention are shown. However, this invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided by way of illustration so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will convey to Those skilled in the art will fully convey the scope of the present invention. Throughout the description, like numbers refer to like elements.

[0028] Cooling systems for electrical equipment, especially for underwater electrical systems, are used to cool electrical components such as transformers, power converters, power electronic building blocks, semiconductor modules, connections and capacitor units. These electrical components generate heat that needs to be dissipated by the cooling system. Cooling systems for underwater ele...

Abstract

There is presented a pressure compensated subsea electrical system (5a, 5b, c, 5d, 5e). The pressure compensated subsea electrical system comprises a housing (8) filled with a dielectric liquid (12). The housing has a first housing portion (8a) and a second housing portion (8b) in pressure communication with each other. The first housing portion comprises a transformer (3), and the second housing portion comprises apower converter (4). The pressure compensated subsea electrical system comprises a pressure compensator (2) arranged to compensate pressure inside the housing. The pressure compensator is enabled to compensate pressure in both the first housing portion and the second housing portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to subsea electrical systems, and in particular to pressure compensated subsea electrical systems. Background technique [0002] In general, underwater electrical installations and equipment usually require high standards regarding durability, long-term functionality and independence during operation. Subsea electrical installations that need to be cooled during operation, such as subsea converters, require autonomous and permanent cooling of their components. It is known to use low compressibility dielectric liquids, such as mineral oil, as cooling fluids. The dielectric fluid can also consist of natural or synthetic esters. In general, dielectric fluids are used to provide a pressure compensating environment and also serve as an electrical insulation medium for electrical components placed in electrical installations, such as capacitor units. Therefore, the tanks of power electronic subsea equipment, such as subsea co...
