Patent ID: 7369024

Claim:
Compact dry transformer consisting of a magnetic material core and a coil assembly consisting of resin impregnated and/or encapsulated windings with insulation between the turns and layers of the windings and assembled onto the core, the core consisting of a first heat sink consisting of covers made of non-magnetic material having good thermal conductivity snug fitted over the core and provided with cooling fins on the outer surface thereof and the coil assembly consisting of a second heat sink consisting of enclosures made of non-magnetic material having good thermal conductivity snug fitted over the resin impregnated and/or encapsulated windings on the limbs of the core and provided with slits along the length thereof and cooling fins on the outer surface thereof, the second heat sink further consisting of jackets made of non-magnetic material having good thermal conductivity inserted over the limbs of the core and provided with slits along the length thereof and a plurality of heat pipes each consisting of an evaporator portion and a condenser portion and containing a thermic fluid having low boiling point at vacuum, the evaporator portion being located in pockets or holes provided along the jackets radially spaced and the condenser portion being disposed outside the jackets and provided with cooling fins on the outer surface thereof.
