Common cooling methods for box-type substations

Oct 11, 2020

  The box-type substation has been used for a long time and the power is large. The work inside the box-type substation will be very intense, and the box-type substation will be very hot at this time. If the box-type substation is hot, it is necessary to cool the box-type substation. There are many ways to cool box-type substations, so what are the primary methods of cooling common box-type substations?


  1. Blowing the box-type substation: But in high-temperature climates, electric workers pick up high-pressure water guns to flush and cool the box-type substation, equipped with 4 sets of giant electric fans. This also has a certain cooling effect.


  2. Water scouring live box-type substation is a professional operation of power system.


   The requirements for flushing live box-type substations with water are high. In addition to requiring the operators to have the corresponding professional skills, during the flushing process, the operators must wear professional protective equipment such as insulated gloves and insulated boots. Moreover, the operator only washes the radiator of the box-type substation, not the live part of the box-type substation.


  3. Box-type substation ventilation: The solid door of the box-type substation can be changed into a mesh door to facilitate ventilation and relieve overheating caused by poor ventilation.


  4. Box-type substation auxiliary cooling vehicle: When using the box-type substation auxiliary cooling vehicle, fill its water tank with water and move it to the working position, and fix the nozzle on the suitable position of the box-type substation through the fixing parts.


  5. Box-type substations hold ice for cooling: In order to cool down the heavy-loaded substations, the power supply part urgently transports ice to cool the box-type substations with excessive temperature to prevent tripping and blackouts.


   The above is a common method of box-type substation cooling, and it is also a relatively feasible process.
