Cooling Requirements

Safety in Liquid-cooling

• WARNING : POISONOUS COOLANTS
  Glycols and inhibitors can be poisonous. If touched or consumed, they can cause injury. Prevent the coolant from getting into the eyes. Do not drink the coolant.

• CAUTION
  HOT COOLANT
  Hot coolant can cause burns. Avoid contact with the hot coolant.

• CAUTION PRESSURIZED COOLING SYSTEM
  The sudden release of pressure from the cooling system can cause injury. Be careful when operating the cooling system.

• NOTICE: INSUFFICIENT COOLING CAPACITY
  Insufficient cooling can cause the product to become too hot and thus become damaged. To make sure that the cooling capacity of the cooling system stays sufficient, make sure that the cooling system is vented, and that the coolant circulates properly.

• NOTICE: DAMAGE TO COOLING SYSTEM
  If the coolant circulation is stopped too soon, high-temperature components can cause a rapid local increase in the coolant temperature, which can damage the cooling system. Do not stop the cooling system when stopping the drive. Keep the coolant circulation flowing for 2 minutes after the drive has been stopped.

General Information on Cooling

• NOTICE
  • For more detailed information about the requirements for liquid-cooling, see the iC7 Series Liquid-cooled System Modules Operating Guide.
  • The product is cooled with liquid. The liquid circulation of the drive is usually connected to a heat exchanger (liquid-to-liquid or liquid-to-air) that cools down the liquid circulating in the cooling elements. The cooling elements are made of aluminum.
  • If there is no risk of freezing, purified water can be used as a coolant. Freezing water permanently damages the cooling system. Purified water is demineralized, deionized, or distilled water.
  • The allowed antifreeze coolants are the following ethylene glycols and propylene glycols.
  • Ethylene glycols : DOWCAL 100 or Clariant Antifrogen N
  • Propylene glycols: DOWCAL 200 or Clariant Antifrogen L
• These glycols already include corrosion inhibitors. Do not add any other inhibitor. Do not mix different glycol qualities because there can be harmful chemical interactions. The glycol concentration of the coolant must be 25–55% by volume, according to the specified ambient temperature. Higher concentration reduces cooling capacity. Lower concentration results in biological growth and an inadequate amount of corrosion inhibitors. Antifreeze must be mixed with purified water. To gain full performance of the product, the temperature of the coolant entering the system module must be a maximum of 45 °C (113 °F). Typically, 95% of the power losses are dissipated in the coolant. It is recommended to equip the cooling circulation with temperature supervision.

The minimum nominal flow rate of the coolant:

• 8.0 l/min (2.11 gal/min) with water
• 10.4 l/min (2.75 gal/min) with 30% glycol
• 12.0 l/min (3.17 gal/min) with 50% glycol

The liquid volume per element:

• LC10L : 0.70 l (0.185 gal)
• LC12L : 1.25 l (0.330 gal)

Cooling Circuit Connectors
The LC filter has cooling circuit connectors in the manifold plate. The internal thread size is G1/2. The depth of the threads is 13 mm (0.51 in). The maximum tightening torque is 30 Nm (265 in-lb). Push-in connectors are available as option +ANN1. The inlet and outlet connectors are at the bottom of the filter. An alternative outlet connector is available at the top of the filter. If the optional outlet connector at the top is used, the outlet connector at the bottom must be closed with a plug. Do not connect filters in series. Connecting in series requires high flow rates and high pressure because of the temperature rise of the coolant in the filters.

Electrical Installation

1. Electrical Installation Safety
   WARNING: OVERHEATED CABLES
   Overheated cables are a fire hazard. Because of several possible cable installations and environmental conditions, it is important to consider local regulations and IEC/EN standards. Route the wires away from sharp edges, screw threads, burrs, fins, moving parts, drawers, and similar parts, which can abrade the wire insulation. For the main circuit, use double insulated wires or protect the wires with, for example, a protective sleeve or wrap to minimize the risk of short circuit. Maintain separation between the main and control circuit wires.

2. Installing the LC Filter
   Install the LC Filter between the AFE and the AC grid. If the AFE has parallel power units, install a separate LC Filter for each of them. See 4.10 Wiring Diagrams.

3. Cable Requirements
   For information about recommended cable types and required cable sizes, see the iC7 Series Liquid-cooled System Modules Operating Guide.

4. Grounding
   Ground the filter in accordance with applicable standards and directives. Unless local wiring regulations state otherwise, the cross-sectional area of the protective grounding conductor must be at least ½ times of the phase conductor and made of the same material when the phase conductor cross-section is above 35 mm2 (AWG 2) according to IEC 60364-5-54; 543.1. The connection must be fixed.

5. AC Fuses
   The front-end modules in the drive system must be equipped with fast-acting AC fuses to limit the damage of the drive system. Install AC fuses at the input terminals of the LC Filter. The AC fuses are not included in the LC Filter delivery. For the recommended fuse types and required fuse sizes, see the iC7 Series Liquid-cooled System Modules Operating Guide.

6. Installing the Cables
   Procedure

7. Connect the mains AC cables to terminals L1, L2, and L3.

8. Use M10 screws and tightening torque 35–40 Nm (310–354 in-lb).

9. Connect the AC cables from the AFE to terminals L1′, L2′, and L3′.

10. Use M10 screws and tightening torque 35–40 Nm (310–354 in-lb).

11. Connect the grounding cable to the PE terminal.

12. Use M8 screws and tightening torque 17–20 Nm (150–177 in-lb).

13. Terminals

14. Preparing the AuxBus Cable

    • Cut the cable to the required length.
    • To reveal the wires, strip the cable at both ends.
    • At 1 end of the cable, remove approximately 15 mm (0.59 in) of the insulation of the cable.
    • Strip the wires 7 mm (0.28 in).
    • Connect the wires to the terminals included in the delivery. Use the tightening torque 0.22–0.25 Nm (1.9–2.2 in-lb).
      

15. AuxBus Connections
    NOTICE: For the drive to be able to protect the filters, AuxBus must be connected.
    For more information about AuxBus, see the iC7 Series System Module operating guides.
    Procedure

16. 1.     1. To access the AuxBus temperature measurement board, remove the cover.![Danfoss-iC7-Series-Liquid-Cooled-LC-Filter-FIG- \(12\)](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Danfoss-iC7-Series-Liquid-Cooled-LC-Filter-FIG-12.png)
