A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11770050B2) describes a heat exchange system for cooling heat-generating components of a motor. The system includes a first heat exchange unit placed within the motor and a second heat exchange unit located outside the motor. These units are connected through a pipeline assembly to form a closed-loop heat exchange circuit. The first heat exchange unit consists of multiple heat exchange branches connected in parallel, each equipped with a heat exchanger, a valve group, and a pressure information component. The opening and closing of the valve group are controlled based on pressure information from the pressure component.

The first heat exchange unit also includes a supply main pipe and a return main pipe, with the heat exchange branches connected to them. The supply and return main pipes are ring-shaped tubes, and the heat exchange branches are evenly distributed along their outer peripheries. The second heat exchange unit comprises multiple parallel heat exchange branches, each equipped with a heat exchanger, a valve group, and a pressure information component. The opening and closing of the valve group are controlled based on pressure information from the pressure component.

The heat exchange system further includes a controller that regulates the opening degree of the valve groups based on flow information from flow transmitters. The system also incorporates temperature transmitters to monitor the temperature of the motor and the environment. The controller adjusts the rotation speeds of fans and pumps based on temperature and wind speed information.

Additionally, the system features a cumulative data processing module that collects rotation speed combination information and corresponding power consumption information from the fans and pump. This data is used to establish a mapping model for different total heat dissipation amounts. The module controls the rotational speeds of the fans and pump to achieve the lowest power consumption based on the current total heat dissipation amount.

The heat exchange system also includes various safety features such as liquid leakage detection devices, gas exhaust devices, and quality detection devices. These devices are connected to the controller to ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.

The patent also mentions that the heat exchange system can be integrated directly into the motor, providing a compact and efficient cooling solution.

Overall, this patented heat exchange system offers a closed-loop cooling solution for motor components, with precise control over heat exchange and energy consumption. The system's design and features aim to enhance cooling efficiency and ensure safe operation.
