POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18210562 titled 'POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS
The patent application describes a power conversion apparatus with a main converter housing at least one transformer, a sub-converter with a voltage boost assembly, lower cooling unit for the transformer, and upper cooling unit for the voltage boost assembly.
- Main converter includes main housing and transformer
- Sub-converter includes sub-housing and voltage boost assembly
- Lower cooling unit supports transformer in main housing
- Upper cooling unit supports voltage boost assembly in sub-housing
Potential Applications: - Power electronics - Renewable energy systems - Electric vehicles
Problems Solved: - Efficient power conversion - Heat management in converters
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced reliability - Compact design
Commercial Applications: - Power supply units for various electronic devices - Renewable energy inverters - Electric vehicle charging stations
Questions about Power Conversion Apparatus: 1. How does the sub-converter improve voltage output? The sub-converter includes a voltage boost assembly that enhances the voltage output for efficient power conversion.
2. What are the key benefits of having separate cooling units for the transformer and voltage boost assembly? Having separate cooling units ensures optimal heat management for both components, leading to improved performance and longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A power conversion apparatus may include a main converter including a main housing and at least one transformer disposed in an interior of the main housing, a sub-converter including a sub-housing coupled to an upper portion of the main housing and a voltage boost assembly disposed in an interior of the sub-housing, a lower cooling unit provided in a lower portion of the main housing to support the at least one transformer, and an upper cooling unit provided in a lower portion of the sub-housing to support the voltage boost assembly.
