Cooling system types for inverter enclosure
From the enclosure that contains the inverter, the heat of the inverter and other equipment (transformers, lamps, resistors,
etc.) and the incoming heat such as direct sunlight must be dissipated to keep the in-enclosure temperature lower than the
permissible temperatures of the in-enclosure equipment including the inverter.
The cooling systems are classified as follows in terms of the cooling calculation method.
(a) Cooling by natural heat dissipation from the enclosure surface (totally enclosed type)
(b) Cooling by heatsink (aluminum fin, etc.)
(c) Cooling by ventilation (forced ventilation type, pipe ventilation type)
(d) Cooling by heat exchanger or cooler (heat pipe, cooler, etc.)

(enclosed, open type)
(enclosed, open type)
This system is low in cost and generally used, but the
enclosure size increases as the inverter capacity increases.
This system is for relatively small capacities.

Being a totally enclosed type, this system is the most
appropriate for hostile environment having dust, dirt, oil mist,
etc. The enclosure size increases depending on the inverter
capacity.
