Water cooled drive peripheral components

With more drive applications utilising water as a cooling medium, REO will be introducing a new range of water cooled drive peripheral components. In many instances the use of water allows drive enclosure sizes to be reduced and allows higher ingress protection ratings for challenging environments.

In many of these applications there are requirements for braking resistors, chokes and RFI filters. REO says in the past the considerable losses presented by these components have compromised the efficiency and success of the system as a whole. It now offers water cooling for all of its comp onents, allowing up to 95% of the power losses in components such as input and output chokes and brake resistors to be transferred to the cooling medium.
