Multisiphon passive cooling system with liquid bridge

A wind turbine, comprising:

• a tower;
• a nacelle mounted atop the tower, the nacelle defining an enclosed internal volume;
• a rotor mounted to the nacelle, the rotor comprising a rotatable hub and at least one rotor blade mounted thereto;
• at least one heat-generating component positioned within the internal volume of the nacelle;
• and,
• a passive cooling system for cooling the internal volume of the nacelle, comprising:
• a heat exchanger thermally connected to the at least one heat-generating component;
• a distribution manifold located below the heat-generating component;
• a condensing unit located external to the nacelle and above the heat-generating component;
• a first conduit thermally connected to the heat-generating component, the first conduit fluidly connected to the distribution manifold and the condensing unit;
• a second conduit fluidly connected to the condensing unit and the distribution manifold;
• a liquid bridge fluidly connected to the first conduit and the second conduit or the distribution manifold;
• and
• a two-phase cooling medium that circulates through a loop defined by the first conduit, the liquid bridge, the condensing unit, the second conduit, the heat exchanger, and the distribution manifold,
• wherein the liquid bridge transfers the cooling medium in a liquid state from the first conduit to the second conduit or the distribution manifold, and
• wherein the liquid bridge comprises a tubular member positioned at an inclined angle between the first conduit and the second conduit or the distribution manifold.
