Abstract
A nacelle for a wind turbine includes a housing defining an outer wall and a heat transfer assembly embedded at least partially within the outer wall of the housing. The heat transfer assembly includes a heat transfer apparatus having a body with a flow path formed in an outer surface thereof and a working fluid configured to flow through the flow path. The heat transfer apparatus also includes a plate member arranged adjacent to the flow path of the body. As such, the plate member and the outer wall of the housing of the nacelle are configured to conduct heat from the working fluid to ambient air.
