Internal cooling circuit 109 Internal cooling circuit Contents of this chapter The cooling system of a liquid-cooled drive consists of two circuits: the internal cooling circuit and the external cooling circuit. The internal cooling circuit covers the heat-generating electrical components of the drive and transfers the heat to the cooling unit. In the cooling unit, the heat is transferred to the external cooling circuit which is usually part of a larger external cooling system.
