Air-cooling method is adopted on the basis of the requirements for the thermal stability and convenient field use of an electrical source transmitter. The power losses of the transmitter are determined after calculating the losses of the alternating current (AC)–direct current (DC) power supply, the constant-current circuit, and the output circuit. According to the analysis of the characteristics of a heat sink with striped fins and a fan, the engineering calculation expression of the Nusselt number and the design process for air-cooled dissipation are proposed. Experimental results verify that the error between calculated and measured values of the transmitter losses is 12.2%, which meets the error design requirements of less than 25%. Steady-state average temperature rise of the heat sink of the AC–DC power supply is 22 ℃, which meets the design requirements of a temperature rise between 20 ℃ and 40 ℃. The transmitter has favorable thermal stability with 40 kW output power.

I. INTRODUCTION
Electromagnetic prospecting methods directly obtain underground information by using electromagnetic theory, which is widely used in water, mineral, and hydrocarbon resource explorations, as well as in other fields
[1]
-
[3]
. In controlled source audio-frequency magnetotelluric method, direct current resistivity method, and induced polarization method, the electrical source transmitter is the artificial excitation source for electromagnetic prospecting. The load of the electrical source transmitter is two electrode holes away from each other for 1–3 km on the ground, with an equivalent resistance of approximately 10–80 Ω. The transmitter must provide an exciting current to the earth load in practical applications, and the exciting current is approximately 10–40 A. Maximum output voltage usually needs to reach 1000 V, and transmitter power usually needs to reach tens of kW. For transmitters with a power of tens of kW, thermal losses can reach several kW.
Several transmitters have been developed in the field of geophysical instruments
[4]
-
[8]
. A transmitter developed by the Central South University of China and used for wide-area electromagnetic sounding has 200 kW output power
[5]
. The Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration under the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences developed the DEM-T70 transmitter, which has 70 kW output power
[7]
,
[8]
. An American company, Zonge International, developed the GGT-30 transmitter, which has 30 kW output power. These power devices of transmitters, used to acquire direct current (DC) bus voltage, work below 400 Hz. These transmitters have high efficiency and output power. However, the system response speed is low, and the effect of suppressing transient earth load fluctuation should be improved. Therefore, these transmitters achieve high thermal stability at the cost of control precision. The Canadian Phoenix Company developed the TXU-30 transmitter. The power devices of TXU-30 work at 20 kHz, which has high control precision. However, China is the main area where electrical source transmitters are used, and TXU-30 uses a three-phase 220 V generator instead of the three-phase 380 V mainstream generator used in China. Therefore, the thermal design of TXU-30 is not suitable for transmitters with 380 V input. In addition, the power of TXU-30 is 20 kW, and its thermal losses are relatively low.
In the field of power electronics, research is focused on the loss calculation of power devices, whereas thermal dissipation analysis is comparatively scarce. The analysis method of thermal dissipation proposed in Ref.
[9]
involves several coefficients, but Ref.
[9]
does not show how to determine the coefficients, which limits its use for engineering applications. Ref.
[10]
disregards the effect of the efficiency of heat sink fin, and the thermal dissipation analysis is relatively rough. In Refs.
[11]
-
[17]
, the analysis of heat sink is comprehensive, and several calculation expressions are introduced. However, the expressions proposed in these studies are generally complex, adding to the complexity of the engineering design. These studies also focus on a heat sink with smooth fins rather than the widely used one with striped fins. In the heat transfer field
[18]
, thermal dissipation theories are systematically illustrated. However, these theories are generally macroscopic, and few studies show the corresponding analysis of air-cooled design on the basis of power circuit.
A heat sink with striped fins is analyzed in the present study on the basis of the characteristics of an electrical source transmitter, the classical theory of heat transfer, and the research results for heat sinks. Fan characteristics are studied based on the research results for hydromechanics. An engineering design process for air-cooled thermal dissipation is proposed. Experimental results verify that the transmitter has favorable thermal stability when the outputs are 1000 V and 40 A. The calculation error of thermal losses of the transmitter and the temperature rise of the heat sink are reasonable. The proposed air-cooled method can be applied to other power electronic equipment below 100 kW to a certain extent.
This paper includes several symbols that are not easy to remember. Hence, the definitions of the main symbols are listed after the Abstract.
II. DESIGN PURPOSES
The main purpose of the thermal design is to ensure the safety of devices in the transmitter, especially the security of power semiconductor devices. When the main purpose is met, another secondary purpose of the thermal design is considered. The secondary purpose is to ensure that the size and weight of the heat sink are as small as possible, making it convenient for field application.
For power semiconductor devices, the maximum allowable junction temperature of the tube core is generally 125 ℃ –150 ℃. The maximum junction temperature
T
jmax
can be obtained from device specifications, and the junction temperature is represented as
T
j
or
T
vj
in device specifications. The temperature loss, Δ

P
represents the power loss of the device, and
R
thJC
represents the thermal resistance between the tube core and the case.
R

can be obtained from device specifications, and some specifications also adopt
R
th(j-c)
. Insulation pad, contact gap, and so on will induce a loss, Δ
T

, of 10 ℃–25 ℃ between the device and the heat sink. For power modules, the case is generally insulated against device pins. Δ

R
thCH
represents the contact thermal resistance between the case and the heat sink.
R
thCK
can be obtained from device specifications, and some specifications also adopt
R
th(c-k)
. For discrete power devices, the case is generally connected to one pin of a device. Thus, an insulation pad should be added between the case and the heat sink. Δ
T

P
·(
R
thCK
+
R
ic
), where
R
ic
represents the thermal resistance of the insulation pad. The calculation of
R
ic
will be shown in Section IV.A. The local temperature of the heat sink where the power device is located is higher than the average temperature of the heat sink, and the temperature loss Δ
T
3
is approximately 10 ℃. Δ
T
3
=
P
·
R
cb
. The calculation of
R
cb
will be shown in Section IV.A, which is from Ref.
[17]
. The maximum temperature
T
amax
in the field in summer may be 35 ℃–38 ℃. Therefore, the average temperature rise Δ
T
hs
of the heat sink should be less than 40 ℃, where Δ
T
hs
=
T
jmax

. Although a low temperature rise will increase the reliability of the devices, it will also increase the size and weight of the heat sink. A significantly low temperature rise does more harm than good. Therefore, the temperature rise should be kept between 20 ℃ and 40 ℃.
To control the temperature rise of the heat sink, the device losses should be calculated. When loss error is too high, the selected heat sink will be obviously small or large. The small size of the heat sink will cause a high temperature rise, which endangers the safety of the devices. The large size of the heat sink will cause the transmitter to become very heavy. Given that the power dissipation of the heat sink is approximately proportional to the size and weight of the heat sink with the same structure and with the size difference below several tens of percent (
Figs. 2
(d) and
5
(a) in Ref.
[19]
), the loss error between 0% and +25% does not significantly increase the transmitter weight. Volumetric flow rate

and static pressure

are also different for same-sized fans, as shown in
Table I
[20]
.

, where
P
represents the power loss,
Q
represents the volumetric flow rate of the fan, and Δ
T

represents the temperature difference between inlet and outlet air. The error can be feasibly and easily compensated by replacing the fan with the same size when the loss error is between 0% and −25%. A low loss error needs a highly accurate mathematical model and must consider numerous factors
[21]
-
[23]
. Some stray losses are difficult to calculate, and the actual conditions are not exactly the same as the testing conditions in the specification. These conditions include voltage
[21]
, current
[21]
, junction temperature
[21]
, device driver
[22]
, pulse width
[23]
, and circuit topologies. Therefore, selecting 25% as the accepted loss error is a relatively reasonable trade-off between application value and calculation complexity.

III. TRANSMITTER LOSSES
- A. Cascaded Topology of the Transmitter
The transmitter adopts the cascaded topology shown in
Fig. 1
, where
Z
L
represents the earth load of the transmitter. When VT
11
, VT
14
and VT
21
, VT
24
turn on, the load voltage is
v
L
=
E

+
E

= 2
E
, and the output is a positive pulse. When VT

and VT
22
, VT
23
turn on, the load voltage is
v
L
= −(
E

+
E

) = −2
E
, and the output is a negative pulse. The output level of the transmitter is only +2
E
and −2
E
without +
E
, −
E
, and 0, which is different from the conventional cascaded multilevel inverters
[24]
-
[26]
.
E
1
and
E
2
are in a floating state that refers to the load
Z
L
. Therefore, the rated voltage of the insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) can be half of the integrated transmitter, which can reduce the design difficulty and the switching losses of the transmitter.
Principle of the cascaded topology.
Table II
shows the relationship between maximum rated voltage and switching losses of different IGBTs. In
Table II
, the switching loss parameters of 600, 1200, and 3300 V IGBTs are from the IGBT modules marked FF200R06KE3, FF200R12KT4, and FF200R33KF2C, respectively.
E
on
,
E
off
, and
E
rr
represent turn-on, turn-off, and diode reverse recovery energy losses per pulse, respectively.
Q
rate
is the energy losses under the rated power. For 600, 1200, and 3300 V IGBTs, the rated powers are 300 V/100 A, 600 V/100 A, and 1800 V/100 A, respectively. For comparison, the energy losses are normalized to per kW, which is represented as Q
/kW
in
Table II
.
Table II
shows that the switching losses of 600 V IGBT are approximately half of those of 1200 V IGBT. Meanwhile, the switching losses of 3300 V IGBT are approximately five times those of 1200 V IGBT. Therefore, cascaded topology can reduce switching losses.
SWITCHING LOSSES OF DIFFERENT IGBTS
SWITCHING LOSSES OF DIFFERENT IGBTS
The circuit of the single-stage transmitter involved in the cascaded technology is shown in
Fig. 2
. The AC–DC power supply converts the 380 V AC provided by the generator to 550 V DC, and the high-frequency transformer isolates the input and the output. The constant-current circuit makes the average current in the chopper inductance
L
2
the set value by adjusting the chopper-circuit switch VT
2
; that is, it maintains the output current of the chopper circuit at the set value. The output full-bridge
Z
2
of the output circuit with another output full bridge in another single-stage transmitter comprises the cascaded topology shown in
Fig. 1
.
Circuit diagram of a single-stage transmitter.
- B. Single-Stage Transmitter Losses
Considering that the entire electrical source transmitter consists of two single-stage transmitters in series, only the thermal losses of the single-stage transmitter must be analyzed.
1) Switching Losses:
When any IGBT of the four IGBTs involved in the full-bridge inverter U
2
is represented as VT
1
, any diode of the high-frequency rectifier U
4
is represented as D
1
, the chopper switch IGBT is represented as VT
2
, and the chopper diode is represented as D
2
. The voltage and current waveforms of IGBTs and diodes during the turn-on and turn-off are shown in
Fig. 3
. In
Fig. 3
,
i
VT1
and
v
VT1
represent the current and voltage of VT
1
when VT
1
turns on and turns off respectively.
i
D1
and
v
D1
represent the current and voltage of D
1
during the reverse recovery respectively.
i
VT2
and
v
VT2
represent the current and voltage of VT
2
when VT
2
turns on and turns off respectively.
i
D2
and
v
D2
represent the current and voltage of D
2
during the reverse recovery respectively.
Switching loss analysis. (a) AC–DC power supply. (b) The constant-current circuit.
In
Fig. 3
(a), the overlapping area between
i
VT1
and
v
VT1
is small when VT
1
turns on because the leakage inductance of the transformer suppresses the changing rate of the current. The slope of the diode current
i
D1
is relatively low when
i
D1
drops from the positive steady-state current
I
F
to the maximum reverse value −
I
RM
. The overlapping area between
i
D1
and
v
D1
is small. This situation is not in accordance with the test conditions for the turn-on loss of the IGBT in the specifications. Therefore, the turn-on loss of VT
1
and the reverse recovery loss of D
1
are lower than the turn-off energy loss
E
on
and the reverse recovery energy loss
E
rr
in the specification. When VT
1
turns off, no other circulation loop exists, except VT
1
for the current in the primary side of the transformer before the voltage
v
VT1
rises from 0 to bus voltage. Therefore,
i
VT1
remains the initial current value, and the overlapping area between
i
VT1
and
v
VT1
is large. The turn-off is in accordance with the test conditions in the specifications. Therefore, the turn-off energy loss
E
off
can be used to calculate the turn-off loss.
In
Fig. 3
(b), the overlapping area between
i
VT2
and
v
VT2
is large when VT
2
turns on because
v
VT2
is clamped to the input voltage before
i
VT2
rises from 0 to the steady-state value. The changing rate that the current
i
D2
in diode D
2
decreases from the positive steady-state current
I
F
to 0 is determined by the inherent rate of the IGBT. The changing rate of the IGBT inherent current is fast when it turns on. Therefore, the peak value
I
RM
of the reverse recovery current of the diode D
2
is large. The overlapping area between
i
D2
and
v
D2
is also large. When VT
2
turns off, the current of chopper inductance
L
2
can only flow through VT
2
before the voltage
v
VT2
increases from 0 to the input voltage. Therefore, the overlapping area between
i
VT2
and
v
VT2
is large. The turn-on and turn-off of VT
2
and the reverse recovery of the diode D
2
are in accordance with the specifications of IGBT test conditions.
E
on
,
E
off
, and
E
rr
can thus be used to calculate VT
2
and D
2
losses.
For the IGBTs involved in the output full-bridge Z
2
in the output circuit, the turn-off process is consistent with that of VT
1
. The turn-off energy loss
E
off
can be used to calculate the turn-off loss. The turn-on process is also consistent with that of VT
1
. However, the load inductance is larger than the leakage inductance of the transformer. Turn-on loss is lower than that of VT
1
, which can thus be ignored.
Eq. (1) can be used to calculate the corresponding switching losses when the situation is equivalent to the test conditions in the specification. It is expressed as follows:
where x can be on, off, or rr, which respectively represents the turn-on of the IGBT, turn-off of the IGBT, or reverse recovery of the diode.
E
x
represents the energy losses with the testing voltage
V
REF
and the testing current
I
REF
in the specification.
V
and
I
represent the actual working voltage and current of the power device respectively.
P
x
represents the power losses.
f
x
represents the switching frequency.
For some diodes, the specification does not give
E
rr
. Eq. (2) can be used to calculate
E
rr
of the diode, that is,
where
V
RM
is the reverse steady-state voltage of the diode.
Q
rr
is the reverse recovery charge, which can be found in the specification.
2) Total Losses:
The output of the AC–DC power supply is designed to be 550 V and 45 A, and the power is 25 kW. The 50 Hz rectifier U

of the AC–DC power supply adopts VUO110-16NO7, the input contactor adopts CJX2-6511, and the full-bridge inverter U
2
adopts the IGBT module FF200R12KT4, which operates in 18 kHz. The high-frequency rectifier U
4
adopts a full-bridge rectifier, and the single-bridge leg consists of four diodes in series, which adopt the diode module MEE250-012DA. The full-bridge inverter U
2
adopts the resistor–capacitor (RC) snubber circuit to eliminate resonance. Each IGBT parallels an RC snubber, with
R
of 100 Ω and
C
of 3.3 nF. The high-frequency transformer U
3
adopts 3 EE110 cores in parallel, 7 turns in primary, and 10 turns in secondary. Each turn in primary and secondary uses double Liz wires,
Φ

of 6.8 nF. The RC snubber parallels the secondary of the high-frequency transformer U
3
, and the output inductance
L
1
adopts four EE110 cores in parallel. The air gap is 12.8 mm, and the number of turns is 27. Each turn uses double Liz wires,
Φ
0.1 mm × 800, in parallel.

are 1258 W. These devices are fixed on a heat sink. The total losses of the AC–DC power supply are 1688 W. The efficiency of the AC–DC power supply is 93.2%.
The constant-current circuit output is designed to be 500 V and 50 A, and the power is 25 kW. The working frequency of the chopper circuit is 18 kHz. The chopper switch VT
2
and the chopper diode D
2
adopt the internal integration devices of the IGBT module FF200R12KT4. The constant-current inductance
L
2
is in accordance with the output inductance
L
1
of the AC–DC power supply. The diode of the short-circuit protection circuit Z
1
adopts MEK250-12DA, which has two parallel internal diodes. The inductance of the short-circuit protection circuit Z
1
adopts nine EE55 cores in parallel, the air gap is 2.25 mm, and the number of turns is 7.5. Each turn uses double Liz wires,
Φ
0.1 mm × 800, in parallel. The full-bridge Z
2
adopts the IGBT module 2MBI200U4H-170. Each IGBT parallels an RC snubber, with
R
of 100 Ω and
C
of 3.3 nF. The working frequency is 1–10 kHz. Given that the load is inductive, the current generally cannot be more than 20 A when the transmitting frequency of the output full-bridge Z
2
is higher than 1 kHz. Therefore, 2 kHz and 20 A are adopted to calculate the losses of Z
1
and the output full-bridge Z

The preceding analysis indicates that the design losses of the single-stage transmitter are 2632 W, and the efficiency is 89.5%.

plane, as shown in
Fig. 6
(b). The air velocity is uniform at x direction in inlet. When air from the developing flow section enters the fully developed section, the air velocity is larger in the middle and lower in both sides. The nature of air flow in striped fins and smooth fins is the same.

The main difference between striped and smooth fins is the surface area of the fins. The stripe coefficient

In Eqs. (13) and (14),

According to Eqs. (13) and (14), the efficiency curves of the striped fins shown in

can be obtained. Therefore, the efficiencies of the striped rectangular striped fin and the triangular striped fin can be obtained by evaluating the efficiency curves shown in
Fig. 8
. Calculating accurate results for the striped trapezoidal fin is difficult. The efficiency can be replaced by the average value of the triangular striped fin efficiency and the rectangular striped fin efficiency when

[13]
adopted the expression shown in Eq. (20).
3) Composite Mode:
To facilitate the calculation, Refs.

and
[13]
proposed

expressions shown as Eqs. (21) and (22) respectively; such expressions can be applied in the developing flow, transition, and fully developed sections.
4) Engineering Expression of Nu:
Nu
expressions are complex in Eqs. (15)-(22). Therefore, the engineering expression shown in Eq. (23) is introduced by mathematically fitting
Nu
expressions proposed in Refs.
[11]
-
[18]
. This expression is suitable for the process from the developing flow section to the fully developed section, and it is concise and easy to calculate.

To compare the error of Eq. (23), the curves of

According to the preceding analysis, the complexity of Eq. (23) is significantly lower than that of existing expressions. Meanwhile, the accuracy is only slightly lower than that of existing expressions.
- D. Pressure Drop of Heat Sink
The frictional air pressure drop in a heat sink can directly influence the volumetric flow rate of the fan, which is related to the effect of the air-cooled design. This section investigates the frictional air pressure drop of heat sinks.
Heat sink causes the total pressure drop, as follows:
where Δ
p
1
represents the sum of the inlet and outlet pressure drop, and Δ
p
c
represents the core pressure drop. Δ
p
1
is

actor. The calculation of 2
f

in Refs.
[14]
and
[15]
adopted Eq. (27), and Ref.
[16]
adopted Eq. (28). For high-power cooling fins,
s
/
H
< 1/6 generally, and Eqs. (27) and (28) are similar. Therefore, Δ
p
c
can be calculated with either of the following equations:
where
f
is the friction factor.
- E. Fan Characteristics
For fans, the relationship between volumetric flow rate and static pressure is shown in
Fig. 11
[27]
. This figure is generally given in the fan specification. When the total pressure drop of the heat sink is Δ
p
a
, the corresponding actual volumetric flow rate is shown as
Q
in
Fig. 11
.
Q
m
and
p
m
in
Fig. 11
represent the rated volumetric flow rate and the rated static pressure of the fan respectively.
Relationship between volumetric flow rate and static pressure.
According to Ref.
[28]
, the following equation is reasonable to some extent:
where
n, p
, and
N
represent the rotational speed, static pressure, and shaft power of the fan, respectively. The subscript m represents the rated value. Therefore, Eq. (29) and the given parameters in the fan specification can be used to estimate the fan performance.
The relationship between the actual volumetric flow rate
Q
and the thermal dissipation power
P
of the fan is shown in Eq. (30). This equation can be used to estimate the volumetric flow rate of the fan. The unit of
Q
in Eq. (30) is m
3
/min, and the other variables use System International units.
where
c
a
is the specific heat capacity of air with a value of 1000 J/(kg·℃).
ρ
a
= 1.20 kg/m
3
at 20 ℃. Δ
T
a
is the temperature difference between inlet and outlet air. The outlet temperature should not be higher than 71 ℃.
When the power is relatively high, a single fan generally cannot provide thermal dissipation. Several fans running together are needed. Fans in series mainly change the air pressure, and fans in parallel mainly change the volumetric flow rate. Therefore, if the total pressure drop of the heat sink is relatively high, the series operation will be efficient. If the volumetric flow rate is insufficient, the parallel operation will be efficient.
For fans with the same size, their volumetric flow rate and air pressure differ
[20]
, and the effect of thermal dissipation has a great difference. Therefore, fans with medium performance should be adopted for an air-cooled design. Replacing medium-performance fans with high-performance fans that have the same size is simple and efficient if the air-cooled design cannot meet the requirements.
- F. Air-cooled Design Process
-
1) Losses should be calculated according to the methods in Section III.B. Different topologies have different switching losses.
-
2) A heat sink should be selected first.Nushould be calculated according to Eq. (23) with an air velocity of 4 m/s, and the heat transfer coefficienthshould then be obtained.
-
3) Fin efficiency should be calculated according to the method in Section IV.B.
-
4) Thermal resistance should be calculated according to the method in Section IV.A.
-
5) Pressure drop of the heat sink should be calculated according to the method in Section IV.D.
-
6) On the basis of the pressure drop of the heat sink and the thermal dissipation power, fans should be chosen according to the method in Section IV.E. Whether the selected air velocity is reasonable should be examined.
-
7) If the thermal design cannot meet the requirements, whether to replace heat sink, change the air velocity, or make fans in series or in parallel should be considered. The thermal design should be calculated again according to steps 2)–6).
-
8) Power devices should be appropriately arranged, and the thermal power should be evenly distributed on the heat sink.
-
9) The air duct should be designed.
V. MEASURED RESULTS
- A. Experimental Conditions
The transmitter runs 8 h a day at 40 kW and operates normally after working for three days.
Fig. 12
shows a photo of the working transmitter at 40 kW.
Fig. 13
shows the output voltage and current waveforms after thermal stabilization.
Fig. 13
shows that the output voltage is more than 1000 V, the current is more than 40 A, and the total output power is more than 40 kW. During the test, waveforms are obtained by using a TDS2012C oscilloscope. The current waveform in
Fig. 13
is obtained by using a current probe A622, and the current waveforms in
Figs. 14
and
15
are obtained by measuring the voltage on 0.1 Ω resistance. Current values are measured with the oscilloscope. Voltage is obtained by using a UT39A multimeter. Temperature is obtained by using an ST380 infrared thermometer, and the resolution of the infrared thermometer is 1 ℃.

, and the reverse recovery waveforms of D

in AC–DC power supply. The overlapping area of
i

(b) is large, and that of
i
D1
and
v
D1
in
Fig. 14
(c) is small, which are the same as in
Fig. 3
(a). The overlapping area in
Figs. 14
(a) and
14
(c) are small because the leakage inductance of the transformer in AC–DC power supply limits the change rate of the current. The overlapping area in
Fig. 14
(b) is large because the current in the leakage inductance of the transformer can only flow through VT
1
before
v
VT1
up to the bus voltage.
Fig. 15
shows the turn-on and turn-off waveforms of VT
2
, and the reverse recovery waveforms of D
2
in constant-current circuit. The overlapping areas in
Fig. 15
(a)-15(c) are large, the same as in
Fig. 3
(b). The overlapping area in
Fig. 15
(a) is large because the voltage is clamped to the bus voltage before the current up to the inductance current. The overlapping area in
Fig. 15
(b) is large because the current is clamped to the inductance current before the voltage up to the bus voltage. Given that the change rate of
i
D2
from 40 A to 0 A is fast, which is determined by the change rate of
i
VT2
from 0 A to 40 A, the overlapping area in
Fig. 15
(c) is large.
The turn-off loss of VT
1
, the turn-on loss and turn-off loss of VT
2
, and the reverse recovery loss of D
2
can be calculated using Eq. (1). However, the turn-on loss of VT
1
and the reverse recovery loss of D
1
are only small parts of Eq. (1) and cannot be calculated using the equation. Therefore, when switching losses are calculated, the circuit topologies should be considered.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
-
1) The rated voltage of IGBTs in the cascaded transmitter can be half of that in the integrated transmitter for adopting cascaded topology, which can reduce the switching losses of the transmitter. If the AC–DC power supply adopts constant-current control in future research, the constant current circuit in this study can be deleted and the transmitter losses reduced.
-
2) The full-bridge inverter IGBTs in the AC–DC power supply and the chopper switch IGBT in the constant-current circuit have different voltage and current transition waveforms. The high-frequency rectifier diodes in the AC–DC power supply and chopper diode in the constant-current circuit also have different reverse recovery voltage and current waveforms. The switching losses of the power devices should be calculated according to the topologies.
-
3) Striped fins mainly change the surface area of thermal dissipation. The thermal resistance of a heat sink with striped fins can be calculated by multiplying the heat transfer coefficient by a striped coefficient under the smooth fin model, and the striped coefficient can be calculated by dividing the total surface area of striped fins by the total surface area of the corresponding smooth fins. The heat sink can cause a frictional air pressure drop, while the volumetric flow rate of the fan decreases with the increase in pressure drop. Therefore, the effect of pressure drop of the heat sink should be considered. Medium-performance fans should be adopted for an air-cooled design. Replacing medium-performance fans with high-performance fans that have the same size is simple and efficient if the air-cooled design cannot meet the requirements.
-
4) The measured results show that the deviation between calculated value and measured value of the transmitter losses is 12.2%, which meets the error design requirements of less than 25%. The temperature of each point on the heat sink of AC–DC power supply is roughly even, and the average temperature of the heat sink is 22 ℃, which meets the design requirements of the temperature rise between 20 ℃ and 40 ℃. The transmitter has favorable thermal stability with an output power of 40 kW.
-
5) To some extent, the proposed air-cooled design can be used in other power electronic equipment below 100 kW.
