Operating a Current Converter at a Path of Travel of Land Vehicles or at a Parking Space of a Land Vehicle
First Claim
1. An arrangement for operating a current converter comprising:
- a current converter, wherein;
the converter is located at a path of travel of land vehicles or at a parking space of a land vehicle; and
the converter is adapted to support operation of at least one vehicle,a cooling device, wherein;
the converter is combined with the cooling device; and
, the cooling device is adapted to cool the converter during operation;
a heat transport medium, wherein;
the cooling device is designed to use the heat transport medium in order to transport heat away from the converter;
at least one pole and/or at least one supporting structure which is also located at the path of travel or at the parking space, wherein;
the pole and/or the supporting structure extends upwards from ground;
a conduct loop for conducting the heat transport medium, wherein;
during operation of the conduct loop, the heat transport medium circulates from the cooling device through a forward section of the conduct loop and a return section of the conduct loop back to the cooling device and,the forward section and the return section of the conduct loop extend from the cooling device to the pole and/or to the supporting structure and also extend inside the pole and/or inside the supporting structure; and
a heat exchanger, wherein;
the heat exchanger is integrated in the pole and/or the supporting structure;
the heat exchanger transfers heat during operation of the conduct loop from the heat transport medium inside the pole and/or inside the supporting structure to the ambiance.

4. A method of operating a current converter comprising:
-
a current converter, wherein;
the converter is operated at a path of travel of land vehicles or at a parking space of a land vehicle; and
, the converter is adapted to support operation of at least one vehicle;a cooling device, wherein the cooling device is used to cool the converter during operation; a heat transport medium, wherein the cooling device uses the heat transport medium for transport of heat away from the converter; at least one pole and/or at least one supporting structure which is also located at the path of travel or at the parking space, wherein the pole and/or the at least one supporting structure is used to transfer heat produced during operation of the converter to the ambiance; a conduct loop, wherein the conduct loop is used for conducting the heat transport medium from the cooling device to the pole and/or to the supporting structure; and
,the heat transport medium circulates from the cooling device through a forward section of the conduct loop and a return section of the conduct loop back to the cooling device; and
,a heat exchanger, wherein the heat transport medium is conducted through a section of the conduct loop inside the pole and/or inside the supporting structure so that heat is transferred from the heat transport medium inside the pole and/or the supporting structure via the heat exchanger integrated in the pole and/or the supporting structure to the ambiance. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 8)
