Water coolingGeneral informationThe cooling unit dissipates driveconverter power loss.It comprises an inner de-ionizedwater circuit and an outer rawwater cooling circuit(see Fig. 6/6).The de-ionized water, whichhas been heated up in the innercooling circuit of the drive converter,is pumped in<strong>to</strong> the stainlesssteel water-<strong>to</strong>-water platetypeheat exchanger using amaintenance-free circulatingwater pump. The plate-typeheat exchanger is connected <strong>to</strong>the raw water circuit at the cus<strong>to</strong>mer’s.The de-ionized wateris cooled by the raw water ofthe external cooling circuit andthen flows back <strong>to</strong> the driveconverter (refer <strong>to</strong> Fig. 3/7).The enclosed inner water circuitis filled with de-ionized water(completely de-salinated water)and is vented via a compensa<strong>to</strong>r(reservoir). Hence, thisvessel is situated at the highestpoint of the cooling circuit.Cooling unitHeat exchangerCooling water specifications inthe raw water circuit:¦ Chemically neutral, cleanwater with solids filtered out¦ Max. grain size, of parts in thewater w 0.5 mm¦ pH value 6.0 <strong>to</strong> 8.0¦ Chlorides < 40 ppm¦ Sulfates < 50 ppm¦ Dissolved solids < 340 ppm¦ Total hardness < 170 ppm¦ Input pressure:min. 2 bar, max. 8 bar¦ Cooling-water quantity:see drive converter selectiontables in Part 3.If values deviate from these,we recommend that the wateris analyzed <strong>to</strong> ensure a longservice lifetime of the heat exchanger.For aggressive cooling water(also sea water), titanium heatexchanger plates should beused (option).Coolant water requirements inthe de-ionized water systemPurified water for accumula<strong>to</strong>rsis <strong>to</strong> be used for filling and refillingthe de-ionized water system(distilled or desalinated water inaccordance with DIN 57510,Chapter 4.6).¦ Specific conductivity whenfilling < 30 mS/cm. After fillingand prior <strong>to</strong> switching on theconverter, the conductivitymust be reduced <strong>to</strong> the permissibleoperational value of< 0.6 mS/cm by the built-inion exchanger of the coolingunit.¦ Evaporation residue < 10 mg/l.¦ The water must only bes<strong>to</strong>red in closed containers ofglass or plastic.¦ The pH value must bebetween 5 and 7.¦ There must be no traces ofmetals of the hydrogen sulphidegroup or of iron, nickel,chrome, manganese, or sulfurchloride and nitrogen compounds(qualitatively testedwith the usual reagents).¦ Oxidizable organic substancesmust be present only <strong>to</strong>a level corresponding <strong>to</strong>consumption of 20 mg/l ofpotassium permanganate.Technical data<strong>SIMOVERT</strong> <strong>MV</strong>Engineering informationDimensioning the power section and driveMoni<strong>to</strong>ring equipment in thede-ionized-water circuit:¦ Conductivity value measurement:The conductivity of thecooling water is between0.1 mS/cm and 0.6 mS/cm.This value is continually moni<strong>to</strong>redin order <strong>to</strong> ensure thatthe leakage currents in thedrive converter, between differentvoltage levels and withrespect <strong>to</strong> ground, remainlow. An ion exchanger keepsthe conductivity under thepermissible maximum value.If the conductivity is excessive,the filling of the ion exchangermust be replaced.The ion exchanger filling usuallylasts for at least 2 yearsafter the first year, and can bereplaced during operationwithout any risk.¦ Temperature moni<strong>to</strong>ring¦ Flow moni<strong>to</strong>ring¦ A reservoir <strong>to</strong> equalizechanges in the cooling watervolume as a resul<strong>to</strong>f vaporization ortemperature fluctuation¦ Pressure display in the driveconverter water intake¦ Evaluation of the measuringdata and control of the electricalequipment is carried outin the cooling unit and theoperating status is then signalled<strong>to</strong> the drive converter.Supply voltage 3-ph./N/PE/400 V AC ± 10%50/60 Hz ± 3%Raw-water circuitWater intake temperature min. + 5 °Cmax. +35 °CWater discharge temperature max. +40 °CPressure dropmax. 1 barAvoidance of moisturecondensationIn order <strong>to</strong> avoid moisturecondensation at low raw watertemperatures, a 3-way valve(option W50) can be installed asan option <strong>to</strong> control the watertemperature. This is recommendedif the raw water isexpected <strong>to</strong> be more than 5 Kcolder than the ambient temperature.The flow quantity canonly be reduced (in order <strong>to</strong>re-duce raw-water consumption)if the raw water does notcontain any suspended solidswhich would then be depositedin the heat exchanger at lowflow velocities.Redundancy (option)When requested, the coolingunit can be designed with redundancyor partial redundancy,i.e. two heat exchangersand two pumps are used, oronly two pumps. In this case,defective parts can be replacedwhile the system is operational.6Siemens DA 63 · 2004 6/7
