Abstract
The heat generating electrical devices such as Battery Bank, Inverter and Controller are housed in an enclosure called Solar Power Pack (SPP). This numerical study is mainly focused on effect of Baffle with perforation of different opening sizes such as 25% and 35% of total area of Baffle, ensuring uniform air motion in an enclosure in cooling these devices such that they operate less than the range of operating temperature. Also this study comprises of investigating the effect of pressure drop helps in minimizing power consumption/ pumping power cost. ANSYS FLUENT is used for numerical analysis. Numerical results satisfy analytical results. Keywords- Solar Power Pack, enclosure, CFD, Effect, cooling, Baffle, pressure drop, FLUENT
