Abstract
A modular cooling assembly is configured to cool at least a first component of an electrically powered marine propulsion system when the cooling assembly is connected to at least a first component cooling conduit of the marine propulsion system. The cooling assembly has a primary cooling arrangement comprising a cooling fluid conduit and a cooling fluid pump, the cooling fluid conduit comprising an inlet to be connected to a first end of the first component cooling conduit, and an outlet to be connected to a second end of the first component cooling conduit, a secondary cooling arrangement comprising a secondary inlet, a secondary outlet, and a heat exchanger, the secondary cooling arrangement being arranged to cool the first cooling fluid conduit, a frame arrangement.
Claims21
A cooling assembly configured to cool at least a first component of an at least partially electrically powered marine propulsion system when the cooling assembly is fluidly connected to at least a first component cooling conduit of the marine propulsion system, the cooling assembly comprising:
- a primary cooling arrangement comprising a first cooling circuit, the first cooling circuit comprising a first cooling fluid conduit and a first cooling fluid pump, wherein the first cooling fluid conduit comprises a first inlet configured to be fluidly connected to a first end of the first component cooling conduit, and a first outlet configured to be fluidly connected to a second end of the first component cooling conduit,
- a secondary cooling arrangement comprising a secondary inlet, a secondary outlet, and a first heat exchanger, wherein the secondary cooling arrangement is arranged to cool the first cooling fluid conduit via the first heat exchanger, and wherein the secondary cooling arrangement is fluidly separated from the primary cooling arrangement, and
- a frame arrangement to which the primary cooling arrangement and the secondary cooling arrangement are mounted,
- wherein the primary cooling arrangement further comprises a second cooling circuit comprising a second cooling fluid conduit and a second cooling fluid pump, wherein the second cooling fluid conduit comprises a second inlet configured to be fluidly connected to a first end of a second component cooling conduit, and a second outlet configured to be fluidly connected to a second end of the second component cooling conduit.
