Inverter building

Abstract

The invention concerns a building for accommodating waste heat-generating electrical apparatuses, in particular an inverter building, including an air inlet, an air outlet, an air supply passage downstream of the air inlet in the flow direction, and at least one ventilation device for generating an air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet. According to the invention the air supply passage extends from the inlet opening to a lower flow chamber beneath the inlet opening and the ventilation device is arranged in the lower flow chamber. The invention concerns a building for accommodating waste heat-generating electrical apparatuses, in particular an inverter building, including an air inlet, an air outlet, an air supply passage downstream of the air inlet in the flow direction, and at least one ventilation device for generating an air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet. According to the invention the air supply passage extends from the inlet opening to a lower flow chamber beneath the inlet opening and the ventilation device is arranged in the lower flow chamber.

         3 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 2  characterised in that the bottom portion ( 102 ) is separated at least portion-wise from the apparatus portion ( 101 ) by a substantially horizontal support surface ( 103 ) for installation of the waste heat-generating electrical apparatuses ( 110 ). 
     
     
         4 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 3  characterised in that in the operating condition of the building the bottom portion ( 102 ) of the building is arranged entirely or partially beneath the surface of the ground. 
     
     
         5 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 1  characterised in that the air inlet ( 120 ) and/or the air outlet ( 130 ) is or are arranged in the apparatus portion ( 101 ) of the building, preferably in the upper half of the apparatus portion. 
     
     
         6 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 1  characterised by a filter device ( 160 ) preferably arranged at the air inlet ( 120 ). 
     
     
         7 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 6  characterised in that the filter device ( 160 ) is so arranged that it is replaceable from outside the building. 
     
     
         8 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 1  characterised by a foreign matter catch device ( 171 ,  172 ) arranged in the air supply passage ( 140 ). 
     
     
         9 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 8  characterised in that the foreign matter catch device ( 171 ,  172 ) is arranged at least portion-wise in the lower flow chamber ( 142 ). 
     
     
         10 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 1  characterised in that the foreign matter catch device ( 171 ,  172 ) is arranged in the air supply passage ( 140 ) between the ventilation device ( 150 ) and the air inlet ( 120 ). 
     
     
         11 . A building ( 100 ) according to  claim 1  characterised in that the foreign matter catch device ( 171 ,  172 ) has a substantially horizontally arranged grill ( 171 ).
