Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a heat dissipation system for a photovoltaic array interconnection system, and more particularly to a connection box having a heat pipe for dissipating heat generated by internal components of the photovoltaic interconnection system.
  • PV interconnection systems lack efficient means for expelling heat generated from internal system electronic components, e.g., diode assemblies, to the exterior of the interconnection enclosure. This inability to expel the heat more rapidly causes a risk of heat rise sufficient to damage the enclosure and/or the internal components of the interconnection system.
  • Heat pipes are devices that are well known, for example, for use in space technology, dehumidification and air conditioning applications, and laptop CPU cooling systems.
  • "Heat pipe” is a term that refers to a closed pipe containing a working fluid such as water which is present in two phases, liquid and gas.
  • a heat pipe consists of a sealed aluminum or copper container whose inner surfaces have a capillary wicking material.
  • the heat pipe has the ability to transport heat against gravity by an evaporation-condensation cycle with the help of porous capillaries that form the wick.
  • the wick provides the capillary action that returns the condensate to the evaporator.
  • a portion of the heat pipe is placed over the hot spot and thereby serves as an evaporator, while a portion remote from the evaporator serves as a condenser, which returns liquid to the evaporator.
  • the evaporation and condensing cool the component efficiently until the heat load becomes so great that the working fluid evaporates faster than the condensing fluid can return to the evaporator, at which point the evaporator "dries out". Once the evaporator dries out, the increase in temperature with increased power is orders of magnitude greater than before the dry out point was reached.
  • the process of moving heat is essentially reduced to conduction by the thin walled tube.
  • the basic components of a heat pipe are the container, the working fluid, and the wick (or capillary) structure.
  • the container isolates the working fluid from the outside environment, is leak-proof, maintains the pressure differential across its walls, and enable transfer of heat to take place from and into the working fluid.
  • the container material is non-porous to prevent the diffusion of vapor, and has high thermal conductivity to minimize the temperature drop between the heat source and the wick.
  • the wick generates capillary pressure to transport the working fluid from the condenser to the evaporator, and distributes the liquid around the evaporator section to any area where heat is absorbed by the heat pipe. Internally, a liquid that enters the pores of the capillary material under its own pressure, thereby saturating all internal surfaces.
  • Heat pipes are used in air-conditioners, refrigerators, heat exchangers, transistors, capacitors, etc. Heat pipes are also used in laptop computers to reduce the working temperature for better efficiency. They are essentially maintenance free. Heat pipes have proven to be an accepted method of providing thermal control in notebook computers and portable personal computers (PCs) to transfer and dissipate CPU-generated heat selectively throughout the system without adversely impacting temperature-sensitive components.
  • the present invention is directed to a heat dissipation system for a photovoltaic array interconnection system.
  • the heat dissipation system includes an enclosure, one or more diode elements, a heat pipe system, and one or more heat sinks attached either end of the heat pipe system.
  • the enclosure includes apertures for inserting power cables.
  • the heat pipe system is in thermal communication with the diode elements, and the heat pipe system penetrates the walls of the enclosure between the diode and the heat sink.
  • the heat sink is disposed on an exterior of the enclosure. Cooling fins are arranged on the heat sink such that heat from the heat pipe is conducted into the fins, and heat from the fins is dissipated to the ambient atmosphere on the exterior of the enclosure.
  • connection box for a photovoltaic array interconnection system.
  • the connection box includes an enclosure, one or more diode elements, a heat pipe system, and one or more heat sinks attached either end of the heat pipe system.
  • the enclosure includes apertures for inserting power cables.
  • the heat pipe system is in thermal communication with the diode elements, and the heat pipe system penetrates the walls of the enclosure between the diode and the heat sink.
  • the heat sink is disposed on an exterior of the enclosure. Cooling fins are arranged on the heat sink such that heat from the heat pipe is conducted into the fins, and heat from the fins is dissipated to the ambient atmosphere on the exterior of the enclosure.
  • An advantage of the present invention is increased heat dissipation characteristics for connection boxes in a photovoltaic array interconnection system.
  • Another advantage is the use of heat pipe technology for eliminating heat generated by interconnection components in a connection box.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the PV interconnection system of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional plan view of the PV interconnection system.
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the PV interconnection system taken along the lines 3-3 in Figure 2.
  • the heat dissipation system of the present invention is applied to an interconnection system for photovoltaic (PV) arrays, and preferably to a roof mounted PV array, although the PV arrays may be independently mounted on frames, building facades or other configurations.
  • PV photovoltaic
  • connection box 12 houses the components of the interconnection system 10, including a series of electrical connectors 14 for connecting conductors of the PV array (not shown).
  • Connectors 16 are mounted to rail assemblies 14. Up to six rail assemblies 14 per connection box 12 is the preferred arrangement, although more than six rail assemblies 14 may be enclosed within a connection box suitable for larger configurations.
  • the rail assemblies 14 provide mechanical support for the connectors 14.
  • Connectors 16 are electrically isolated from the diode assemblies 15.
  • connection box 12 has cable couplers 18, and an aperture or apertures 34 disposed on the underside of the box 12 in the area opposite of the cable couplers 18.
  • the cable couplers 18 are sealed penetrations for the external connection cables 36 that interconnect to other interconnection systems [not shown] in order to form parallel or series wiring configurations for the power system.
  • the cable couplers 18 seal the interior of the connection box 12 from water or other liquids, as well as dirt and dust, while allowing the cables 36 to enter the connection box 12.
  • the cable couplers 18 are designed for high voltage and . high current carrying capacity, and preferably conform to the established International Protection (IP) standard IP-67, for sealing requirements in the photovoltaic industry.
  • IP International Protection
  • connection box 12 provides disconnect means for isolating the connection box 12 from the other connection boxes in the power system. Proper mating of the cable couplers 18 is ensured by polarity keyed housing, fully shrouded contacts, and squeeze to release connection system. It should be understood that the connection box 12 also may include additional interconnection system components, for example, diode assemblies, jumpers, printed circuit boards, etc., which are omitted from the figures for simplicity.
  • the heat pipe 26 extends through the connection box 12 in thermal contact with all of the diodes 15.
  • the diodes 15 are suspended between the rail assemblies 14.
  • the diodes 15 may have a semicircular recess (not shown) conforming to the outer diameter of the heat pipe 26.
  • the recesses are configured to receive the heat pipe 26 transversely in the connection box 12, so as to maintain thermal conductivity between the heat pipe 26 and the diodes 15.
  • the heat pipe 26 is preferably bonded to the diodes 15 with thermally conductive epoxy or adhesive 38.
  • the heat pipe may be embedded in an overmolded cover which mates with the diode 15 when attached to the box portion 12.
  • the heat pipe 26 penetrates the connection box 12 on opposite sides.
  • the heat sinks 28 are also preferably bonded to the heat pipe 26 with a thermally conductive adhesive material. Alternate means for bonding the heat pipe 26 with the heat sink 28 may be employed, for example, embedding the pipe in the heat sink 28, threaded connections, soldering or brazing.
  • the heat sinks 28 may be any type of conventional heat sink.
  • the heat sinks 28 include a plurality of cooling fins 32 that provide expanded fin surface area and airflow paths for optimum heat transfer.
  • the cooling fins 32 are connected by a common base portion 32.
  • the heat sinks 28 expel the heat to the ambient environment outside of the connection box 12, for example, the outdoor air surrounding an array of PV roof tiles.
  • heat pipe 26 condenses and is returned by capillary action to the inside of the connection box, and the cycle is continuously repeated, thereby efficiently removing greater heat than can be passively radiated through the surfaces of the connection box 12.
  • more than one heat pipe 26 with heat sinks 28 may be installed, for example, where the diode assemblies 15 may be arranged in tandem or in multiple rows, where a single heat pipe 28 cannot contact all of the diode assemblies.
  • the heat pipe 26 may be configured in a variety of non-linear shapes, for example, U-shape, W-shape or S-shape, where the heat pipe 26 is configured for a similarly configured diode arrangement.
