Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for air treatment in wind power plants, in particular in offshore wind power plants, according to the preamble of claims 1 and 28 to 30.
- Wind turbines or correct wind energy systems and in particular offshore wind energy systems consist according to the schematic diagram in Fig. 1 from a grounded in the seabed tower 10, at the top of a nacelle 11 is arranged, in which a generator is located, via a drive shaft and a Gear is connected to three rotor blades 12 in the illustrated example, the angle of attack are generally adjustable to optimize the wind drive.
- the electrical power output by the generator is processed by means of electrical and electronic components and units 16 such as switchgear, switching devices, control and regulating devices, transformers, frequency converters, etc., and transmitted via cables to the mainland.
- the arranged in an aggregate module 15 of the tower 10 electrical and electronic units 16 control and also regulate the operation of the generator, the position of the rotor blades etc.
- the heat-dissipating electrical and electronic units 16 is outside air AL via a generally below the unit module 15 arranged air inlet opening 14, for example, an opening in an access door in the tower 10, of an air treatment unit 2, the components are shown schematically in Fig. 2 and be described below, sucked, cleaned and discharged with positive pressure as supply air ZL to the interior of the tower 10 so that the introduced and largely purified supply air flow ZL flows through the aggregate module 15, the heat absorbed by the electrical and electronic components and aggregates 16 radiation and discharged via outlet openings 13 in the nacelle 1 1 as exhaust air FL to the environment.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a conventional air treatment device 2 for desalination of the sea air and for generating an overpressure in the interior of the tower 10.
- the air treatment device 2 a first droplet 21 as a main separator for coarse pre-separation of rain, spray, etc.
- coalescence separators 22, 23 designed as aerosol filters are provided, which bind aerosols and form larger droplets.
- a second droplet separator 24 follows as a post-separator, which intercepts and separates the previously formed droplets.
- the required air flow is generated by means of an outside air or overpressure fan 25.
- the air conditioning system according to FIG. 2 provided in the offshore wind power plant 1 thus fulfills the following tasks:
- the introduced sea air (outside air) is cleaned by the salt aerosols contained in the air to protect against the corrosion within the tower 10 of the offshore wind energy plant 1 in the unit module 15 arranged electrical and electronic units 16;
- the supply and overpressure fan 45 is operated as a function of the external wind speed pressure-dependent, with an overpressure of about 2000 Pa can be generated, so that even in strong winds, i. at wind speeds up to 56 m / sec, the introduced, mostly purified
- Zu Kunststoff ZL essentially escape in the gondola 11 existing leaks 3 and escape through corresponding overpressure flaps, ie can flow to the outside, while the ingress of unpurified, salty sea air even in strong winds in the interior of the tower 10 and the nacelle 1 1 by the generated pressure is prevented.
- a disadvantage of this conventional air treatment in offshore wind energy systems 1 is that the treatment of the sea or outdoor air AL achieved by desalination, a strong reduction of the salt content, but a residual content of salt is permanently entered into the tower 10, in particular in the form of The aerosol dissolved in the outside air, which can not be filtered out by the droplet and Koaleszenzabscheidern the air treatment unit 2. 0.005 mg / m 3 is exceeded 100 times, so that the electrical and electronic units 16 are contaminated despite the air conditioning and after a relatively short time considerable corrosion of the electrical and electronic Aggre gate 16 takes place.
- Salt has different states of aggregation depending on the moisture content.
- salt is in the liquid state of aggregation.
- a moisture content between approx. 40% and approx. 70% a mixed form of liquid salt, salt aerosols and salt particles is present, while with a moisture content of ⁇ approx. 40% salt is present in bound particles (as it were as dust). Since salt crystallizes to particles at a moisture value of less than approx. 40%, a reduction or elimination of the salt content by means of a high-performance filter is possible if a moisture content of less than approx. 40% is achieved in each season.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus for air treatment in wind power plants and in particular in offshore wind energy systems, the elimination or reduction of the salt and moisture content and thus the risk of condensation (dew point below) of ensure the unit module and air discharged into the tower or nacelle with positive pressure.
- the solutions according to the invention ensure elimination or at least a considerable reduction of the salt and moisture content and thus reduction of the risk of condensation due to dew point undershooting of an outside or supply air supplied to the unit module and into the tower or the nacelle by an outside air fan with overpressure. Volume flow and thus the risk of corrosion in the Aggregate module arranged electrical and electronic units and the inner wall and the devices in the tower and in the nacelle.
- This simple air treatment device assumes that by heating the outside air to a relative humidity of 40%, the salt aerosols crystallized to particles can be separated in a high-performance filter as salt particles. Although this is a significant reduction of the residual salt content and thus the risk of corrosion in the unit module and inside the tower and connected in the nacelle, but can not be ensured under all climatic conditions and year-round, that the air flow in the aggregate module and inside the tower and the nacelle is maintained in such a way that, on the one hand, the heat emitted by the electrical and electronic units heat is dissipated with sufficient certainty and on the other hand, a risk of corrosion inside the tower and the nacelle can be excluded.
- the wind energy plant is not in operation for many years of the year, for example in storms, light winds, incidents and for maintenance purposes.
- an emergency operation is required which is insufficiently ensured with this method can be.
- a comparison with the prior art substantially improved air treatment system is therefore characterized in that the cooled via the air inlet opening from the environment of the tower sucked wet and salty outside air cooled in an air treatment device and thereby the absolute humidity of the outside air is lowered, that the cooled and dehumidified outside air heats is reached to a predetermined relative humidity of the outside air, in which the Saiz aerosols contained in the outside air are at least partially crystallized, that the crystallized salt aerosols and salt particles contained in the outside air are separated and that the dehumidified and desalinated outside air as supply air to the interior of the tower and / or delivered to the aggregate module.
- the moist and saline outside air drawn in via the air inlet opening from the surroundings of the tower is heated until a predetermined relative humidity of the outside air is achieved, at which the salt aerosols contained in the outside air are at least partially crystallized, the crystallized salt aerosols and salt particles contained in the outside air are separated and the dehumidified and desalinated outside air is indirectly, freely cooled and discharged as cooled supply air to the interior of the tower and / or to the aggregate module.
- the indirectly, freely cooled supply air before delivery to the interior of the tower and / or to the unit module) can be further cooled down with a mechanical cooling device.
- the air can absorb up to 27 g / kg of water along the line A, while at a temperature of -13 0 C, the air corresponding to the line B absorbs only 1 g / kg. This behavior expresses the strength of the electrolyte.
- Fig. 6 shows the range of critical humidity, i. H. the range of 70 to 100% relative humidity in the Mollier-h, x-diagram.
- the temperature and humidity values of the locations concerned are entered as a so-called “weather bubble” in relation to the "critical humidity” area shown in FIG. From these representations in the Mollier-h, x diagram, a large number of annual hours are in the range of "critical humidity.” In some areas, the local weather data is almost without exception in the "critical humidity" range.
- the electrolyte is extremely intensified by the high salt content in the air, for example, when the wind energy plant is located in the coastal area or "offshore.” For this reason, the corrosion rate under the influence of the sea climate is significantly higher than in the interior
- the weather bubble of the island of Heligoland which is shown in outline in Fig. 6, shows that 8,533 hours per year in the range of "critical humidity", ie in the range of 70-100% relative humidity.
- Temperature and humidity changes are not only due to the weather, but also in the mechanical cooling of air by means of a condenser, evaporator and
- a further optimized air treatment system is characterized in that the moist and saline outside air drawn in via the air inlet opening from the environment of the tower is supplied to the cooled and dehumidified outside air to an air treatment device having separate flow paths in which a heat exchanging connection with the outside air is established Circulating air flow is guided in a closed circuit through the unit module and the thermal energy absorbed by the heat dissipation of the electrical and electronic units emits heat to the outside air, is discharged from the under exclusion of the aggregate module heated supply air with pressure to the interior of the tower and the nacelle.
- the optimized air treatment system ensures efficient heat dissipation of the surface heat emission of the electrical and electronic units and a controlled temperature maintenance in the tower to the nacelle by controlled heat transfer with feed from the waste heat of the electrical and electronic units.
- the outside air which is still contaminated with salt, no longer flows freely through the aggregate module and thus can not contaminate the electrical and electronic units.
- the volume flow of the outside air and / or the circulating air are generated independently of each other and controlled and adjusted for adjusting the heat transfer in the unit module and / or the temperature or humidity of the supply air.
- the control and regulation of the recirculated circulating air allows a stepless adjustment of the required circulating air and thus a circulation of suitable air quantities.
- variable amounts of air both the outside air to the supply air and the recirculation depending on parameters such as outdoor air temperature, humidity and salt content of the outside air and depending on the required cooling power in the unit module and emergency heating at standstill of the wind energy plant, the air treatment can be significantly influenced.
- variable air volumes of the outside air supply air or the circulating air is a significant factor on the energy consumption or energy costs given as a reduction in outdoor air supply air and recirculated air quantities in the lowered operation under appropriate weather conditions and lower heat loads in Aggregate module also saves energy costs.
- the air treatment device includes an air treatment unit with heat recovery, through which the hermetically separated flow paths of the outside air supply air flow and the circulating air flow are guided and arranged in the flow direction of the outside air supply air before and / or after the air treatment unit with heat recovery capacitor or reheat register a dehumidification heat pump containing an evaporator, the at least one condenser or reheat register, and a compressor.
- the moisture reduction is met in the same way.
- the arrangement of the condenser of the dehumidification heat pump upstream of the air treatment unit with heat recovery with immediate reheating after cooling in the evaporator of the dehumidification heat pump reduces the cooling effect of the circulating air flow in the air treatment unit with heat recovery, since the outside air supply air was already heated in the condenser , which would be technically disadvantageous, but would not affect the functioning of the dehumidification heat pump.
- outside air supply air stream is additionally heated immediately after leaving the air treatment unit with heat recovery, ie after the heat released from the circulating air flow, with the energy from the dehumidification process via the condenser or the heat register, then an even more favorable, namely causes lower value of the relative humidity of the outside air supply air.
- the arrangement of the evaporator and condenser is not necessarily required at the air inlet or air outlet of the plate heat exchanger, but can also be provided somewhere within the channel system of the blown into the tower supply air.
- the dehumidification heat pump contains two capacitors or reheat registers, of which a first capacitor in the flow direction of the outside air supply air flow in front of the air treatment unit with heat recovery and the second capacitor is arranged in the flow direction of the outside air supply air after the air treatment unit with heat recovery.
- the arrangement of two capacitors and their mutual circuit has the advantage that the different requirements between summer and winter operation can be better met, since the efficiency of the air treatment unit with heat recovery or its heat transfer is determined by the temperature difference.
- the first capacitor is preferably used in winter and the second capacitor preferably in summer.
- both capacitors can be operated in partial load operation, whereby both capacitors are automatically controlled in mutual operation or with variable partial loads.
- the proportion of the outside air supply air flow guided by the air treatment unit with heat recovery is preferably set as a function of a temperature and / or humidity control of the optimized air treatment system.
- a condenser is arranged in the circulating-air flow path, to which the heater module in the unit module is switched.
- condenser or reheat register and compressor when the heating demand in the unit module, for example, in the winter months at low or too low temperatures and / or emergency operation at standstill of the offshore wind energy plant, from the dehumidifying heat pump formed from the evaporator or cooler, condenser or reheat register and compressor be switched in the outside air supply air from the condenser of the dehumidification heat pump to the condenser in the circulating air flow, so that the dehumidification heat pump in the outside air supply air flow AL / ZL heated to the power module module supply air circulating air of the second flow path.
- the energy for this heating operation is supplied by other offshore wind power plants operated in the network.
- the supply air flow discharged from the air treatment device to the inside of the tower is guided via a heat exchange device which releases heat energy absorbed from the waste heat of the electrical and electronic units to the supply air flow as a function of the air temperature in the interior of the tower and the nacelle, the supply air at least in the section between the air treatment device and the entrance into the interior of the tower is guided in a supply air duct.
- the effect and positive consequences of the heat exchange device are that in order to avoid condensation within the tower and the nacelle, the air is heated so far through the heat exchange device, ie an increase in temperature is caused even by the cooling effect of the tower walls and a drop in temperature Supply air in the tower and the nacelle dew point is not reached.
- the air treatment device not only causes dehumidification and desalination of the outside air discharged from the air treatment device, but also takes over the dehumidification of the unit module by a targeted air extraction from the individual floors or platforms of the unit module via circulating air exhaust air ducts and a targeted air supply via circulating air supply air ducts in the individual floors or platforms of the aggregate module.
- the supply air discharged by the air treatment device is additionally dehumidified, heated with the energy obtained from the dehumidification process prior to delivery to the interior of the tower and injected into the interior of the tower at high speed and preferably in the center of the tower diameter.
- the moist and saline outside air drawn in via the air inlet opening from the environment of the tower can be conducted via a mist eliminator for coarse pre-separation of rain, spray.
- the air treatment system according to the invention is downstream of an air treatment device for desalination of the outside air and for generating an overpressure in the interior of the tower, preferably a first droplet separator for coarse pre-separation of rain, spray and the like, a Koaleszenzabscheider to form larger droplets, a second droplet Having as Nachabscheider for intercepting and separating the previously formed droplets and the required air flow generating outside air or overpressure fan.

- the processed supply air is injected at a high speed obliquely upward, sharp on the tower wall upwards in the tower according to another process feature so that the injected air flow is moved along the tower wall and in the tower creates a rotational movement (vortex flow), which tears air layers and air layers.
- the above-described methods provide a heat pump with dehumidifying and desalination properties in which the dehumidified and desalinated air, even with total recooling to the outside air level, for example through the tower walls or through mechanical means for free indirect cooling, such as a plate heat exchanger operated with fresh air Dew point can not be reached again and can maintain and guarantee a maximum relative humidity of less than 60% relative humidity through targeted dehumidification, so that a linear increase in corrosion is excluded and the risk of corrosion is permanently significantly reduced.
- a first device for air treatment in wind power plants, especially in offshore wind energy plants, with a tower at the top of a gondola with a generator and at least one rotor blade and in the interior heat-dissipating electrical and electronic units such as switchgear, switching devices, transformers , Frequency converter and the like are arranged in an aggregate module of the tower and having at least one air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, is sucked through the air inlet opening from the environment of the tower moist and salty outside air, characterized by an air treatment device with a heater or an air heater for heating the outside air or in an air treatment or desalination unit desalinated and dehumidified outside air and a high-performance filter for filtering the particle-salted salt aerosols in the outside air or desalted and dehumidified outside air and the supply of heated supply air through the aggregate module in the tower and in the nacelle.

- This simple air treatment device makes it possible to deposit the particle-crystallized salt aerosols in a high-performance filter as salt particles by heating the outside air to a relative humidity of 40%.
- the associated significant reduction of the residual salt content and thus the risk of corrosion in the unit module and in the interior of the tower and in the nacelle can not ensure under all climatic conditions and throughout the year that the air flow in the aggregate module and in the interior of the tower and the nacelle in the Is maintained, so that on the one hand the heat dissipated by the electric and electronic units is dissipated sufficiently safe and on the other hand, a risk of corrosion inside the tower and the nacelle can be excluded.
- emergency operation possible in the event of storm, light wind, accidents and maintenance.
- An improved device for air treatment in wind power plants especially in offshore wind energy plants, with a tower at the top of a gondola with a generator and at least one rotor blade and in the interior heat-dissipating electrical and electronic units such as switchgear, switching devices, transformers , Frequency converter and the like are arranged in an aggregate module of the tower and having at least one air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, is sucked through the air inlet opening from the environment of the tower moist and salty outside air, is characterized by an air treatment device with one of an evaporator for Reduction of the absolute moisture content of the supplied outside air or the outside air desalinated and dehumidified in an upstream air treatment or desalination unit, a condenser or a reheat coil for reheating the outside air a uf a relative humidity of 40% or less and a compressor dehumidifying heat pump, and with a high performance filter for salt separation.
- an air treatment device with one of an evaporator for
- the improved air treatment device is achieved by cooling the humid and salty outside air while reducing the absolute moisture content of the outside air and the subsequent reheating a moisture level of the treated outside air of less than or equal to 40% relative humidity, so that the salzaerosols still contained in the outside air crystallized and can be deposited in a high performance filter.
- the supply air flows freely and without special air supply systems into or through the aggregate module and through the upper part of the tower to the nacelle.
- An optimized air treatment system with a third, optimal device for air treatment in wind power plants, in particular in offshore wind power plants, with a tower, at the upper end of a nacelle with a generator and at least one rotor blade and in the interior heat-releasing electrical and electronic units such as switchgear, switching devices, transformers, frequency converters and the like are arranged in an aggregate module of the tower and having at least one air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, wherein via the air inlet opening from the environment of the tower moist and salty outside air is sucked in, is characterized by an air treatment device with an air treatment device with recuperative heat recovery system and hermetically separated first and second flow paths, wherein the first flow path sucked through the air inlet opening outside air to d it leads to the interior of the tower with the exception of the aggregate module delivered supply air and the second flow path in recirculation mode supply air to the unit module and sucks exhaust air or return air from the unit module.
- the air treatment device with recuperative heat recovery system includes a plate heat exchanger, which is arranged in the flow direction of the first flow path to a connected to the air inlet opening air treatment device for desalination of the sucked outside air.
- the optimized air treatment system ensures a powerful cooling of the surface heat dissipation of the electric and electronic units, a controlled temperature maintenance in the tower to the nacelle by controlled heat transfer with power from the waste heat of the electric and electronic units and hermetically separate two air streams that always outside air contaminated with salt no longer flows freely through the aggregate module and thus can not contaminate the electrical and electronic units.

- the outside air AL sucked from the environment of an offshore wind energy installation 1 according to FIG. 1 is roughly desalinated and dehumidified and continues to flow in an uncontrolled, turbulent and free air flow moist and salzaerosols containing supply air ZL on the arranged in the aggregate module 15 of the tower 10 electrical and electronic units 16 in the upper part of the tower 10 to the nacelle 1 1.
- the residual salt content of the Zu poverty ZL flowing through the aggregate module 15 and the tower and the nacelle is thereby a hundred times greater than the desired value, so that the electrical and electronic units 16 and in the tower 10 and the nacelle 11 arranged devices and inner walls of the tower 10 are exposed to strong corrosion due to the influence of the salt and the residual moisture of the supply air ZL.
- the moist and saline outside air AL drawn in via the air inlet opening 14 from the environment of the tower 10 is roughly desalinated in the air treatment or desalination apparatus 2 according to FIG and dehumidifies.
- the roughly desalinated and dehumidified outside air AL is delivered to a simple air treatment device 3 in which the outside air AL is heated and the salt aerosols crystallized thereby into particles in the outside air AL are filtered out.
- the supply air ZL discharged by the air treatment device 3 flows through the aggregate module 15 in free, uncontrolled flow, absorbs the radiant heat emitted by the electrical and electronic units 16 in the aggregate module 15 and exits the aggregate module 15 as heated supply air ZL 'in an uncontrolled, spinning air flow in the upper part of the tower 10 and in the gondola 11 a.
- the supply air ZL ' flows through the overpressure generated by the outside air fan 25 in the air treatment or desalination unit 2 according to FIG. 2 as exhaust air FL into the environment of the offshore wind power plant 1.
- the supply air ZL flows past the electrical and electronic units 16, absorbs the heat energy emitted by the electrical and electronic units 16 and enters the upper part of the tower 10 above the unit module 15 as heated supply air ZL ' whereupon the heated supply air ZL 'ascends as an uncontrolled, turbulent flow to the nacelle 11.
- the simple air treatment device 3 is based on the finding that salt aerosols crystallize to particles at a relative humidity of the outside air of less than 40%. If the outside air AL is now heated to such an extent that the relative humidity characteristic of 40% in the Mollier-h, x-diagram is reached, then the salt aerosols crystallized into particles can be deposited as salt particles in the high-performance filter 32 arranged downstream of the heating device 31.
- the heating device 31 is supplied with energy from the waste heat of the electrical and electronic units 16 in the unit module 15, for example by liquid cooling of at least part of the electrical and electronic units 16 and re-cooling of the heat absorbed in the cooling liquid in a heater 31 designed as an evaporator.
- the above-described simple air treatment device 3 ensures a significant reduction of the residual salt content and thus significantly reduces the risk of corrosion in the unit module 15 and inside the tower 10 and in the nacelle 1 1, but can not ensure under all climatic conditions and year-round that the air flow in the Aggregate module 15 and inside the tower 10 and the nacelle 1 1 is maintained in such a way that on the one hand, the heat emitted by the electrical and electronic units 16 heat is dissipated sufficiently safe and on the other hand, the risk of corrosion inside the tower 10 and the nacelle. 1 1 can be excluded.
- the wind power plant is not in operation for many hours of the year, for example during storms, light winds, accidents and maintenance.
- an emergency operation is required that can be ensured only insufficiently with the simple air treatment device 3 by, for example, the air heater 31 of the simple air treatment device 3 is connected to an electric afterheating device, which is fed in emergency operation from the supply network to which the wind energy system emits electrical energy in normal operation.
- thermodynamic treatment of the outside air AL or supply air ZL is not possible, especially since the available heat from the heat radiation of the electrical and electronic units 16 and the energy from the electric and electronic units 16 to a cooling liquid for heat dissipation and powering the air heater 31 and an evaporator of the simple air treatment device 3 between full load and partial load fluctuations and in emergency mode, ie at standstill of the wind energy plant, not available at all are.

- the improved air treatment device 4 contains an evaporator 41, to which the desalinated and dehumidified outside air AL discharged from the conventional air treatment device 2 is sucked in via the air inlet opening 14 from the environment of the tower 10 as moist and saline outside air AL Air treatment or desalination unit 2 as shown in FIG. 2 was partially desalinated and dehumidified.
- the improved air treatment device 4 includes a condenser or reheat coil 43 and a compressor 42, which together with the evaporator 41 form a dehumidifying heat pump, and a high-efficiency filter 44 for salt separation.
- the partially desalinated and dehumidified outside airflow AL discharged from the conventional treatment apparatus 2 is discharged from the outside air fan 25 arranged in the flow path of the outside air AL in the air conditioning or desalination apparatus 2 shown in FIG. 2 to the improved air handling unit 4 in which the outside air AL is supplied by means of the evaporator 41 is cooled to a lower level, wherein the absolute humidity of the outside air AL is lowered.
- This process also ensures that the dehumidified and desalinated supply air ZL even at total recooling to the temperature value of the outside air AL due to cooling on the way from the unit module 15 to the nacelle 11 through the non-insulated steel walls of the tower 10 at any point in the interior of the tower 10 the low level of the dew point, d. H. a relative humidity of 100%, can reach.
- the value of the relative humidity in the entire interior of the tower 10 is about 70% relative humidity, so that the risk of condensation in the entire wind energy plant and thus the risk of corrosion by reducing the moisture is significantly reduced.
- the absolute humidity of the outside air AL is reduced to about 10 g / kg.
- the relative humidity of the outside air is reduced to about 35%, so that the Salzaerosole contained in the outside air AL in We - Essentially crystallized and the crystallized salt aerosols and contained in the outside air AL salt particles in the high-performance filter 44 can be deposited.
- the outside air AL dehumidified and desalinated in the air treatment device 4 is discharged into the interior of the tower 10 as supply air ZL to the unit module 15 and after passing through the unit module 15 and receiving the thermal energy emitted by the electric and electronic units 16 as heated supply air ZL '. give, by the inclusion of additional heat energy, a further increase in temperature compared to the temperature T13, which is associated with a further decrease in the relative humidity.
- a temperature T21 of the outside air AL of 14 0 C is assumed.
- the moist and saline outside air AL is cooled along the dew point line in the evaporator 41 to a temperature T22 of about 9 0 C and thereby lowered to an absolute humidity of about 7 g / kg.
- T23 of about 25 0 C the relative humidity of the outside air is reduced to about 38% and the salt salts thus crystallized and contained in the outside air AL salt particles are in the high-performance filter 44th deposited.
- a temperature T31 of the outside air AL of 7 ° C. is assumed.
- the moist and salty outside air AL is cooled down along the dew point line in the evaporator 41 to a temperature T32 of approximately 2 ° C. and thereby to an absolute humidity of lowered about 4 g / kg.
- T33 the relative humidity of the outside air is reduced to about 40% and the salt crystals so salted and salt particles contained in the outside air AL are in High-efficiency filter 44 deposited.
- the fresh air AL dehumidified and desalinated in the improved air treatment device 4 is also supplied as supply air ZL to the unit module 15 and after passing through the unit module 15 and receiving the heat energy radiated by the electric and electronic units 16 as the heated supply air ZL 'discharged into the interior of the tower 10.
- the dehumidified and desalinated in the air treatment device 4 outside air AL as supply air ZL to the unit module 15 and after flowing through the unit module 15 and receiving the radiated from the electrical and electronic units 16 thermal energy as heated supply air ZL 'in the interior of the tower 10 is delivered , wherein the absorption of additional heat energy, a further temperature increase compared to the temperatures T23, T33 and T43 takes place, which is associated with a further decrease in the relative humidity.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show two variants of a combination of an improved air treatment device 4 with a conventional air treatment device 2 and will be explained in more detail below.
- the moist and saline outside air AL sucked in via the air inlet opening 14 from the environment of the tower 10 by means of the outside air fan 25 is not conducted via the conventional air treatment device 2 according to FIG. 2, but only via a first droplet separator 21 first simplified air treatment device 2 'and then supplied as dehumidified outside air AL to the evaporator 41 for cooling and dehumidifying.
- the crystallized salt aerosols and salt particles contained in the outside air AL are deposited in the high-performance filter 44, wherein the air flow through the in this embodiment, preferably on the suction side of the reduced air treatment device 2 'and reduced to the mist eliminator 21 the improved air treatment device 4 is arranged and the dehumidified and desalinated supply air ZL and desalted in the high-performance filter 44 outside air AL as supply air ZL in free air flow to the unit module 15 and as heated supply air ZL 'in the interior of the tower 10 and the nacelle 11 is discharged.
- the coalescence separators 22 and 23 according to FIG. 2 are omitted because the dehumidification heat pump formed by the evaporator or condenser 41, condenser or reheat register 43 and compressor 42 results in dehumidification and heating of the dehumidifying heat pump Outside air AL is carried out in such a way that first water and thus also salt sols are deposited and crystallize the remaining salt components after heating by means of the dehumidification heat pump, when a value of relative humidity of less than or equal to about 40% is reached. Subsequently, the high-performance filter 44 ensures the deposition of the crystallized salt.
- FIG. 9 shows the arrangement of both the two mist eliminators 21, 24 and a coalescence separator 22 in an air treatment unit 2.
- the outside air AL sucked from the environment by means of the outside air fan 25 is discharged via a first droplet separator 21, a coalescence - Separator 22 and a second droplet 24 of the air treatment unit 2 "passed there partially dehumidified and desalted and then supplied as partially dehumidified and desalinated outside air AL shown in Fig.
- the outside air fan 25 arranged in FIGS. 8 and 9 on the suction side of the air treatment device 2 'or 2 "and the improved air treatment device 4 can alternatively also be on the pressure side, ie before the first droplet separator 21 of the air treatment device 2' or before the first droplet separator 21 of the improved air treatment apparatus 2 "or between the air treatment apparatus 2 'and 2" and the improved air treatment apparatus 4.
- the arrangement of the outside air fan 25 on the suction side of the air treatment apparatus 2' and 2 "and the improved air treatment apparatus 4 has the substantial advantage that the outside air fan 25 is arranged not in humid air, but in relatively dry air, which is also free of salt, which has advantages with respect to the corrosion behavior of the outside air fan 25.
- FIG. 10 an optimized air treatment system 6 with an optimal air treatment device 5 and air ducts 75, 76 shown in the unit module 15, with which under any climatic conditions, in the year-round operation and in emergency mode with stationary wind energy system optionally sucked on the air treatment unit 2 humid and salty outdoor air AL is dehumidified, filtered and desalted, a cooling of arranged in the unit module 15 heat-dissipating electrical and electronic units 16 is performed, a positive pressure in
- the sucked in moist and saline outside air AL in the air treatment unit 2 is only partly or coarsely desalted and partially dehumidified, the still moist and salty outside air AL 'an optimal air treatment device 5 and supplied from this as dehumidified and desalinated supply air ZL guided through an inlet air duct 74 through the unit module 15, without coming into contact with the air in the unit module 15, and discharged above the unit module 15 to the overlying free space 100 of the upper part of the tower 10.
- a Nachffyregister or heat exchanger 8 can be arranged with control valve, with which the temperature in the upper region of the tower 10 and in the nacelle 1 1 is controlled.
- the heat exchanger 8 is fed from the waste heat of the heat generating electrical and electronic units 16 in the unit module 15.
- the heat exchanger 8 can alternatively or optionally also be arranged directly in or on the optimized air treatment device 5 or at any other point in the supply air channel 74.
- the effect and positive consequences of the heat exchanger 8 are that in order to avoid condensation within the tower 10 and the nacelle 1 1, the air is heated so far through the heat exchanger 8, i. a temperature increase is effected, that even by the cooling effect of the tower walls and a drop in temperature in the tower 10 and the nacelle 1 1, the dew point is not reached.
- a sensor for the temperature measurement and control in the nacelle 1 1 is arranged in front of the air outlet due to the generated overpressure.
- the second flow path leads in a closed circuit through the aggregate module 15 and delivers the heat energy absorbed by the heat emission of the electric and electronic units 16 via the air treatment device with recuperative heat recovery system 51 to the first flow path, from which, excluding the aggregate module 15 heated, dehumidified and desalted air with pressure to the interior 100 of the tower 10 and the nacelle 1 1 is discharged.
- This ensures that the still contaminated with salt outside air AL 'no longer flows freely through the unit module 15 and thus the electrical and electronic units 16 can no longer contaminate.
- the air treatment device 5 not only causes dehumidification and desalination of the discharged from the air treatment unit 2 outside air AL ', but also takes over the cooling of the unit module 15 by a targeted air extraction from the individual floors or platforms of the unit module 15 via recirculation air ducts 76 and a targeted air supply via Recirculation air supply ducts 75 in the individual floors or platforms of the unit module 15. If the supply air ZL (UL) the circulating air UL is not supplied to the individual floors of the unit module 15, but injected, for example, in the lower floor and deducted in the upper floor, so is a appropriate air duct between the floors of the unit module 15 is provided.
- UL the supply air ZL
- the energy is exchanged via the arranged in the optimized air treatment device 5 plate heat exchanger 51 between the outside air flow 1 and the guided in the air ducts 75, 76 circulating air flow UL.
- the outside air flow AL 'or supply air flow ZL thus indirectly cools the recirculating air flow UL.
- the circulating air flow UL the heat, which results from the surface heat output of the electrical and electronic units 16, to the supply air flow ZL, so that the heated supply air flow ZL "shown in FIG. 10 preheated in the upper tower 10 and thus in the nacelle 1 1.
- additional reheating can take place through the optionally arranged heat exchanger 8.
- the plate heat exchanger 51 in the optimized air treatment device 5 hermetically separates the outside air flow AL 'and inlet air flow ZL from the recirculating air flow UL and thus ensures that a free flow through the aggregate module 15 and thus contamination by salt-containing, moist outside air AL' can not take place.
- the aggregate module 15 is located in a salt-free zone of the tower body.
- the unit module 15 can also be arranged below the air inlet opening 14 for the outside air AL, so that the optimized air treatment device 5 delivers the heated and desalinated air directly to the upper, free part of the tower 10, while the circulating air flow UL into the below the optimized air treatment device 5 arranged unit module 15 is discharged, where the circulating air flow UL receives the output from the electrical and electronic units 16 heat and this via the plate heat exchanger 51 in the hermetically separated supply air flow ZL and thus in the optionally heated by the Nachsagenregister or the heat exchanger 8 supply air ZL "fed into the interior of the tower 10.
- the optimized air treatment device 5 does not necessarily have to be arranged in the region of the aggregate module 15, but can be arranged at any other location, in particular because a targeted introduction of air into the unit module 15 and air extraction from the unit module 15 can be generated by air ducts. Also, the supply air duct 74 entered in FIG. 10 does not necessarily end at the upper deck of the unit module 15, but can also be extended beyond that into the interior of the tower 10.
- the air treatment device 5 shown in Fig. 11 as an air flow and system schematic and in Fig. 12 in a longitudinal section through a corresponding air conditioner shows a housing 50 with an outside air opening for intake outside air AL, a supply air / pressure opening for delivering the heated supply air flow ZL to the part of the tower 10, which lies above or outside the aggregate module 15, and an exhaust / return air duct or channels 76 and a circulating air / supply air duct or channels 75, via which the circulated air is led into and out of the unit module 15.
- a plate heat exchanger 51 is arranged with hermetically separated, in heat exchanging connection flow paths, of which the first flow path from the vicinity of the tower 10 via the air inlet opening 14 sucked outside air AL via an evaporator or cooler 53, the plate heat exchanger 51, a condenser or a reheat register 55 and the supply air / overpressure opening and the supply air duct 74 to the upper part of the tower 10, during the heat-exchanging connection with the first flow path stationary second flow path through a circulating air fan 56, is conducted in a closed circuit from the unit module 15 via the exhaust air / return air duct 76, the plate heat exchanger 51 and the circulating air / supply air duct 75 into the unit module 15 and the heat energy absorbed by the heat output of the electrical and electronic units 16 over the plate heat exchanger 51 outputs to the first flow path.
- the first flow path leads via the supply air duct 74, excluding the unit module 15, the heated supply air ZL with overpressure to the interior of the tower
- the plate heat exchanger 51 at the entrance of the cooled outside air AL 'bypass flaps 52 on the adjustment thus influence the energy exchange and thus on the temperature and / or humidity behavior of the air treatment device 5 can be taken.
- the bypass flaps 52 of the plate heat exchanger 51 can be included in a temperature and humidity control of the optimized air treatment system 6.
- the outside air fan 25 is not shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 according to the embodiments described above.
- the arrangement of the outside air ventilator 25 on the suction side offers advantages , ie in the flow direction of the outside air AL to the supply air ZL behind the air treatment device 5, since it is here in dry, salt-free air, whereby the risk of corrosion is significantly reduced and only small demands on the material quality of the outside air fan 25 are to make allows the arrangement of the outside air fan 25 on the suction side placements of the outside air fan 25, which are possible and suitable from the unit module 15 over all intermediate decks of the tower 10 to the nacelle 1 1 as a site.
- the air treatment device 5 comprises the dehumidifying heat pump formed by the evaporator or cooler 53 and the condenser or reheat register 55 and a compressor 54, which is designed such that a Dehumidification by 1 g / kg air or more is achieved. Subsequently, the temperature of the outside air AL 'increases after passing through the plate heat exchanger 51 to a correspondingly higher temperature in a favorable range of relative humidity, i. as far away from the dew point as possible.
