Abstract

Abstract An electromagnetic inductor means such as a transformer is improved by reducing the amount of condensable cooling liquid to a level approximating that actually needed to effect cooling; by injecting a resin into spaces between the casing and an insulating container surrounding the sides and bottom of the windings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 285 words
A method of constructing an electromagnetic induction apparatus of the type having an iron core and primary and secondary windings wound around the iron core and contained in a tank and immersed in a condensable cooling liquid, comprising; assembling an iron core and primary and secondary windings in a manner so as to form open fluid ducts of passageways (a) between said iron core and the secondary windings, and (b) between said secondary winding and the primary winding; constructing an insulating container surrounding the outer periphery of said primary winding and a lower portion of both said windings, so as to define the outer walls of a duct or passageway about said primary winding, and so as to form a further duct or passageway communicating with the aforementioned ducts and extending beneath said windings; said container having side walls extending in the longitudinal direction of said windings and terminating at substantially the same vertical level as said windings; placing the assembly in a tank; injecting a resin into the spaces formed between said container and said tank, to the exterior of said windings and said container, said resin being filled to the same height as the top of said windings and top edges of said container, to define a fluid reservoir having a substantially flat bottom surface defined by said top edges of said container, said tops of said windings, and the top of said resin layer; solidifying said resin; and filling said tank with a condensable cooling liquid to a level above said windings and the upper ends of said ducts, said condensable cooling liquid being in direct contact with said core in the passageway or duct between said core and said secondary winding.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 285 words
A method of constructing an electromagnetic induction apparatus of the type having an iron core and primary and secondary windings wound around the iron core and contained in a tank and immersed in a condensable cooling liquid, comprising; assembling an iron core and primary and secondary windings in a manner so as to form open fluid ducts of passageways (a) between said iron core and the secondary windings, and (b) between said secondary winding and the primary winding; constructing an insulating container surrounding the outer periphery of said primary winding and a lower portion of both said windings, so as to define the outer walls of a duct or passageway about said primary winding, and so as to form a further duct or passageway communicating with the aforementioned ducts and extending beneath said windings; said container having side walls extending in the longitudinal direction of said windings and terminating at substantially the same vertical level as said windings; placing the assembly in a tank; injecting a resin into the spaces formed between said container and said tank, to the exterior of said windings and said container, said resin being filled to the same height as the top of said windings and top edges of said container, to define a fluid reservoir having a substantially flat bottom surface defined by said top edges of said container, said tops of said windings, and the top of said resin layer; solidifying said resin; and filling said tank with a condensable cooling liquid to a level above said windings and the upper ends of said ducts, said condensable cooling liquid being in direct contact with said core in the passageway or duct between said core and said secondary winding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said resin is a thermosetting resin, and including removing water components from said iron core, said windings and inner surfaces of said container by vacuum heating and drying the apparatus after injecting said resin, and simultaneously solidifying said resin via said vacuum heating and drying treatment.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 281 words
A method of constructing an electromagnetic induction apparatus of the type having an iron core and primary and secondary windings wound around the iron core and contained in a tank and immersed in a condensable cooling liquid, comprising: assembling an iron core and primary and secondary windings in a manner so as to form open fluid ducts or pasageways (a) between said iron core and the secondary winding, and (b) between said secondary winding and the primary winding; constructing an insulating container surrounding the outer periphery of said primary winding and a lower portion of both said windings so as to form a further duct or passageway communicating with the aforementioned ducts and extending beneath said windings; said container having side walls formed by winding an insulating paper directly onto said primary winding, said container extending in the longitudinal direction of said windings and terminating at substantially the same vertical level as said windings; placing the assembly in a tank; injecting a resin into the spaces formed between said container and said tank, to the exterior of said windings and said container, said resin being filled to the same height as the top of said windings and top edges of said container, to define a fluid reservoir having a substantially flat bottom surface defined by said top edges of said container, said tops of said windings, and the top of said resin layer; solidifying said resin; and filling said tank with a condensable cooling liquid to a level above said windings and the upper ends of said ducts, said condensable cooling liquid being in direct contact with said core in the passageway or duct between said core and said secondary winding.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 281 words
A method of constructing an electromagnetic induction apparatus of the type having an iron core and primary and secondary windings wound around the iron core and contained in a tank and immersed in a condensable cooling liquid, comprising: assembling an iron core and primary and secondary windings in a manner so as to form open fluid ducts or pasageways (a) between said iron core and the secondary winding, and (b) between said secondary winding and the primary winding; constructing an insulating container surrounding the outer periphery of said primary winding and a lower portion of both said windings so as to form a further duct or passageway communicating with the aforementioned ducts and extending beneath said windings; said container having side walls formed by winding an insulating paper directly onto said primary winding, said container extending in the longitudinal direction of said windings and terminating at substantially the same vertical level as said windings; placing the assembly in a tank; injecting a resin into the spaces formed between said container and said tank, to the exterior of said windings and said container, said resin being filled to the same height as the top of said windings and top edges of said container, to define a fluid reservoir having a substantially flat bottom surface defined by said top edges of said container, said tops of said windings, and the top of said resin layer; solidifying said resin; and filling said tank with a condensable cooling liquid to a level above said windings and the upper ends of said ducts, said condensable cooling liquid being in direct contact with said core in the passageway or duct between said core and said secondary winding.
