Description
Electric propulsion heat dissipation system, power device and aircraft Technical Field The application relates to the technical field of aircrafts, in particular to an electric propulsion heat dissipation system, a power device and an aircraft. Background An electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL for short) is an important development direction of modern aviation technology, and a power system of the electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft highly depends on an electric propulsion device to provide thrust required by flight. In the running process, the electric propulsion system generates significant heat due to the continuous operation of components such as a motor, and if the electric propulsion system cannot timely and effectively emit, the electric propulsion system can be overheated or even lose efficacy, and the flight safety and the life of passengers are seriously threatened. The cooling system is used as a key guarantee, a radiator structure is generally adopted, and heat transfer is realized through forced convection heat exchange between external airflow and the surface of the radiator. However, the merits of the heat radiation performance are directly dependent on the rationality of the air flow introduction path, the smoothness of the internal flow, and the efficiency of the hot air discharge. In the prior art, a radiator is generally integrated in an electric engine of an aircraft power nacelle, and external air enters through an air inlet and flows through the radiator to be discharged after heat exchange is completed. The integral attitude of the nacelle changes to cause significant changes in internal aerodynamic characteristics when the nacelle is tilted from a vertical lift condition to a flat flight condition. Specifically, in the fly-by-fly mode, the geometry of the nacelle blocks the hot air exhaust path, and part of the air flow which has absorbed heat is retained in the nacelle cavity due to flow separation or abnormal pressure distribution, so that hot air accumulation is formed. The retention weakens the continuous cooling capacity of the radiator, and further exposes other precise electronic equipment in the power nacelle to additional heat load, so that secondary heat damage risks are caused, and the overall reliability and long-term operation stability of the aircraft are further affected.
