Water Cooling

Water cooling is available for Magna-Power Electronics power supplies for use in corrosive environments, such as electroplating applications or in densely packaged system cabinets, where heat removal by air cooling presents a problem.

Water cooling is accomplished with chill plates and an integrated central heat exchanger. The chill plates provides a thermal conduction path for heat sensitive components and the central heat exchanger removes heat from air internal to the enclosure. Water cooled TS Series models have enclosures without vent holes and are basically sealed the unit from the environment. An internal solenoid valve enables water flow when the chill plate reaches 60°C. Operation of the solenoid prevents internal condensation.

Each 15 kW module has a 1/4" NPT female inlet and outlet for water flow. For models greater than 15 kW, external plumbing interconnects power supply modules. A minimum of 2.50" is recommended behind the enclosure for this hardware and user connections. For systems requiring more than one power supply, plumbing connections must be paralleled; that is, water should not flow from one power supply into another.
