Against the backdrop of pressing the "fast forward button" in the construction of charging stations, the heat dissipation of equipment has also become one of the problems plaguing the development of the industry. To enable vehicles to replenish 50-60% of their electrical energy in a relatively short period of time, DC fast charging can be fully charged in 1-2 hours, while AC slow charging can be fully charged in 6-8 hours. For travel, of course, the faster the better, but if the charging speed is increased, the current and voltage will increase, resulting in rapid and massive heat generation.
Compared to traditional power sources, the system heat dissipation of charging stations is much larger, and the requirements for system thermal design are also more stringent. Generally speaking, the DC charging piles in public building charging stations have extremely high charging power, long charging time, and generate a lot of heat. For outdoor equipment, this heat must be dissipated outside the equipment, otherwise it will accelerate the aging of the equipment and, in severe cases, cause safety accidents. At present, the main modes used for heat dissipation in charging stations include natural cooling (mainly relying on heat sinks), forced air cooling, water cooling, and air conditioning. Due to factors such as volume, cost, and reliability, the vast majority of charging stations on the market currently use forced air cooling for processing.
For various application environments of charging piles, Wind Source has been tested through practice and has established cooperation with multiple manufacturers, and has been put into the market in large quantities. With excellent quality and long service life, whether facing damp and dark underground environments or outdoor environments exposed to wind and sun, Wind Source fans can easily cope with various industrial control environments, timely ventilate and dissipate heat for charging piles, greatly increasing the service life of equipment.
