A water-cooled cable is a device that cools the cable by circulating water. It is mainly used for cooling high-power equipment. A water-cooled cable contains an inner conductor and an outer insulation layer, and water flows through the water pipes in it for cooling.
Water-cooled cables are mainly used for high-power electrical equipment, such as equipment with high-power motors or inverters, common electric arc furnaces, and welding machines. They are also used in petrochemical, metallurgical, pharmaceutical, and other high-temperature industries. EAF/SAF Water-cooled cables can protect equipment from damage under high loads and extreme working conditions.
Many standards apply to the design and installation of water-cooled cables at home and abroad. These standards are formulated to ensure water-cooled cables' safety, reliability, and stability.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has introduced a series of standards applicable to water-cooled cables. For example, ISO 21678:2018 "Liquid-cooled Cable Systems" provides a detailed specification to guide the design, installation and operation of water-cooled cables. The standard covers many aspects, including transmission parameters, structure of water-cooled cables, design and definition of waterways, etc.
In addition, there are other international organizations that provide standards for water-cooled cables, such as the European Organization for Standardization (CENELEC), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The China Organization for Standardization (GB/T) also has specifications for water-cooled cables in standards such as "Power Cables" or "Cables for Power Supply and Utilization Equipment". For example, GB/T 5584 "Copper Core Butter Paper Insulated Power Cables" and GB/T 7673 "Cross-linked Polyethylene Insulated Power Cables and Accessories". These standards ensure that water-cooled cables in China meet international standards and are scientific, reasonable, and operational.
Water-cooled cable standards help ensure the quality and standards of the design, production, testing, transportation, and installation of water-cooled cables. First-class water-cooled cables should meet the standards and be able to fully serve the needs of users. Formal standard organizations can guide water-cooled cable manufacturers to develop more advanced and efficient products.
• Efficient cooling: Water as a cooling medium has high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and can take away a lot of heat in a short time.
• Stability: The cooling system of water-cooled cables runs smoothly, and the flow, pressure, and temperature of water can be controlled to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
• Environmental protection: Compared with other cooling methods, water-cooled cables have less environmental impact • Space saving: The design of water-cooled cables requires a smaller volume than airflow cooling, thus saving space.
• Difficulty in maintenance: Water-cooled cables need to be equipped with water cooling systems, pipes, cooling towers, and other accessories, and the maintenance difficulty and cost are relatively large.
• Energy consumption: Water-cooled cables need to be cooled by water pumps and other equipment, which increases energy consumption.
As a safe and efficient cooling method, water-cooled cables have their advantages in terms of cleanliness, energy saving, efficiency, and scalability. During use, attention should be paid to the compliance and maintenance of water-cooled cable standards.
