Condensation
Condensation on the cooling plate of the liquid-cooled drive must be avoided. Therefore, the
temperature of the cooling liquid must be kept higher than the temperature of the electrical
room. Use
Figure 2-12
to determine if the drive operating conditions (combination of room
temperature, humidity and cooling liquid temperature) are safe, or, to find the acceptable
temperature for the cooling liquid.
The conditions are safe when the point is below the respective curve. If not, take adequate
precautions by decreasing the room temperature and/or the relative humidity or increase the
cooling liquid temperature. Note that increasing the temperature of the cooling liquid above
figures in loadability charts decreases the nominal output current of the drive. The below
curves are valid at sea level — 14.7 psi (1013 mbar).
