What are the advantages of water-cooled structure motors?

At the production site of a steel rolling mill, a maintenance worker asked the question about the advantages of water-cooled motors for the water-cooled high-voltage motors used in its forging equipment. In this issue, we will have an exchange with you on this issue.

In layman’s terms, a water-cooled motor uses a special water cooling system to inject low-temperature water into the waterway, cool the motor through the circulation system, and then cool the water after the temperature has increased. During the entire process, the motor waterway is a cold water inlet. , the circulation process of hot water out.

Compared with ventilation-cooled motors, water-cooled motors have the following advantages:

Since the water-cooled motor can continuously input low-temperature water through the cooling system, the heat emitted by the motor can be quickly taken away; it effectively reduces the motor temperature and is suitable for operation in high-temperature environments to ensure motor stability and long life. From the analysis of the noise level of the motor, since the motor does not have a ventilation system, the overall noise of the motor will be smaller. Especially in some situations where people are concentrated or noise control requirements are high, this kind of motor structure will be given priority.

From the perspective of motor efficiency, the motor efficiency is higher due to the lack of mechanical losses caused by the fan system. From the perspective of environmental protection and energy, it is a relatively environmentally friendly structure, whether in terms of physical pollution or noise pollution. Compared with oil-cooled motors, water is much more economical, which is another reason why this motor is easily accepted.

However, since the motor structure involves water, if there are quality risks in the waterway, it may cause serious problems in the motor. Therefore, the safety of the waterway system is one of the key points in quality control of this type of motor. In addition, the water used for motor cooling should be softened to prevent scaling problems in the pipelines that affect heat dissipation, and there should be no other corrosive substances that affect the safety of the waterways.
