Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method of using a water collector with a centrally rotating tilt that can change its tilt. Background Technology

[0002] Evaporative self-circulating coolers place the heat exchanger on the side of the cooler housing. Flowing spray water cools the air within the packing fins, increasing its humidity to saturation. A fan then forces the saturated, humid air to exchange heat with the circulating fluid within the heat exchanger. The air, after heat exchange, is then vented back to the atmosphere by the fan, ensuring the cooling effect of the internal circulating fluid. Because the circulating fluid operates in a closed loop within the heat exchanger, it remains uncontaminated, effectively protecting the main equipment and extending its lifespan. When the outside temperature is low, the spray water system can be shut off, maintaining the cooling effect through heat exchange with the circulating fluid within the pipes. This also prevents the spray water outside the pipes from freezing and cracking the cooler housing and spray pipes, thus saving water. With the implementation of national energy conservation and emission reduction policies and the increasing scarcity of water resources, evaporative self-circulating cooler systems are suitable for use in harsh environments such as arid, water-scarce areas, and regions prone to sandstorms. It is widely used in various industries, including central air conditioning, instrumentation, medium-frequency electric furnaces and converters in metallurgy, generator sets and steam turbines in power plants, nuclear power plants and substations, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, welding, aluminum and copper foil cooling oil, and hydraulic oil for large hydraulic machinery.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. 202123422206.8 discloses an evaporative self-circulating cooler, including a body with an air inlet and an air outlet. From the air inlet to the air outlet, an air filter, a packing heat sink, a water collector, a heat exchanger, and a fan are arranged in sequence. The area between the water collector and the heat exchanger is called the evaporative heat exchange box, and the area between the heat exchanger and the fan is called the heat exchange box. A water storage tank is located at the bottom of the body. A spray pipe is located above the packing heat sink, and the spray pipe is equipped with downward spray heads. A spray water delivery pipe is connected between the water storage tank and the water inlet of the spray pipe. A spray pump is installed on the spray water delivery pipe. A self-priming pump is installed on the pipe at the inlet end of the heat exchanger. The water outlet on one side of the water storage tank is connected to the water inlet of the spray pipe through the spray water delivery pipe.

[0004] The evaporative self-circulating cooler disclosed in the above patent has the following defects:

[0005] Traditional water collectors are inefficient at collecting water. They typically have a C-shaped structure, with concave openings stacked at a fixed interval at a 45-degree angle to the windward side. When wind speeds are high, the fast-moving humid air carrying water droplets is drawn into the collector plates. As the air passes through these plates, some droplets are trapped, but due to the high wind speed and narrow design, they drift off the plates. Other droplets, due to gravity, drip onto the next plate. A significant portion of these droplets are carried away by the high-speed airflow, resulting in a high drift rate and substantial water waste. While increasing the angle of the stacked plates can reduce this drift rate and improve collection efficiency, it also obstructs airflow, increasing static pressure in the fan, reducing airflow, potentially overloading the fan, or requiring a higher power output and increased electricity consumption. Increasing the number of water collectors and combining them will increase costs and volume, but there will still be a certain amount of water drift, and the desired water collection effect will not be achieved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a method for using a water collector with good water collection effect and a center rotation that can change the tilt.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:

[0008] A method for using a water collector with a center rotation that allows for adjustable tilt is characterized by water-collecting plates at a fixed angle, and the installed water collector also at a fixed angle. With a center adjustment rod installed, it can be adjusted clockwise or counterclockwise. Clockwise rotation increases the water-collecting angle, resulting in better water collection but also increased wind resistance; counterclockwise rotation decreases the water-collecting angle, resulting in poorer water collection but lower wind resistance. The water collector with adjustable tilt includes multiple water-collecting plates arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom, connected by screw rods. A support sleeve is provided outside the screw rod between upper and lower water-collecting plates. The water-collecting plates extend from the air inlet side to the air outlet side. The device is configured with a first inclined surface, an inclined section, and a second inclined surface in sequence. The first and second inclined surfaces are parallel. The inclined section is at an obtuse angle to both the first and second inclined surfaces, and the slope of the inclined section is greater than that of the first and second inclined surfaces. Multiple arrayed guide holes are provided on the first inclined surface. A fixed support is provided in the middle of the water collector. The fixed support includes multiple fixed sleeves, multiple connecting rods, and a central adjusting rod. The fixed sleeves are fitted into the middle sections of multiple screws. The connecting rods connect the fixed sleeves at the same lateral position. A central adjusting rod passes through multiple connecting rods to form the fixed support. The fixed support allows the angle of the entire water collector to be controlled by adjusting the rotation of the central adjusting rod.

[0009] As a preferred option, the support sleeve is either integrally stamped with the water-collecting plate or is a separate sleeve.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, two or more lead screws are threaded through the first inclined surface, and two or more lead screws are also threaded through the second inclined surface.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] The advantages of using the new type of water collector are:

[0013] 1. The S-shaped water-collecting plate design, which follows the wind direction, increases the contact area with flowing air, resulting in low wind resistance. The first and second inclined surfaces on both sides of the windward water-collecting plate have small angles. Guide holes are arranged on the first inclined surface, and the connecting inclined section has an angle twice that of the first inclined surface. This allows some of the water droplets formed in the saturated air to be absorbed and released on the first inclined surface when it comes into contact with the flowing air. As it passes through the inclined section, the water droplets are squeezed out again and discharged downwards through the guide holes on the first inclined surface. Because the guide holes on the first inclined surface guide the flowing air, the water droplets discharged downwards are quickly sprayed downwards. This maximizes the control of water drift and saves water resources. The smaller angle of the second inclined surface allows for rapid release and guidance of saturated air.

[0014] 2. The water collector is made by stacking individual water-collecting plates. The length and height can be customized according to process requirements. It is convenient and simple to manufacture. It is small in size and easy to install.

[0015] 3. The water collector is equipped with a connecting rod. The rotation angle of the water collector can be adjusted by adjusting the central adjusting rod from the outside, so as to adjust the water consumption rate and wind pressure value according to the actual process requirements and wind speed requirements.

[0016] In summary, the present invention can change the usage method of the water collector with a centrally rotating tilt angle, and has the advantage of good water collection effect, thereby enabling the assembled evaporative self-circulating cooling machine equipment to have a better cooling effect on the heat source.

[0064] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention relates to an evaporative self-circulating cooler, comprising a body 101, wherein the body 101 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and from the air inlet to the air outlet are sequentially arranged an air inlet filter 102, a packing heat exchanger 103, a water collector 104, a heat exchanger 105, and a fan 106. The area between the water collector 104 and the heat exchanger 105 is called the evaporative heat exchange box, and the area between the heat exchanger 105 and the fan 106 is called the heat exchange box. A water storage tank 108 is provided at the bottom of the body 101. A spray device 107 is installed above the unit 3, with downward-facing spray heads. A spray water delivery pipe 109 connects the water storage tank 108 to the inlet of the spray device 107, and a spray pump 112 is installed on the spray water delivery pipe 109. The water storage tank 108 is used for storing circulating water and contains an automatic water adder 108.5, a water filter 108.6, a sensor, and an electric heating element. The outlet on one side of the water storage tank 108 is connected to the inlet of the spray device 107 via the spray water delivery pipe 109. A circulation pump 100 is installed on the pipe at the inlet end of the heat exchanger 105, and the circulation pump 100 is housed in a box. The circulation pump box is the same height as the water storage tank 108. The heat exchanger 105 can be straight, V-shaped, H-shaped, or other forms, and the air outlet can be located on the side or top of the unit.

[0066] The heat transfer medium within the heat source of the equipment circulates with the heat transfer medium tank, thereby cooling the heat source. Simultaneously, the heat transfer medium in the tank circulates to the heat exchanger of the evaporative self-circulating cooler. Within the heat exchanger, air is cooled by air. The air cooling method involves air entering through the air inlet, passing sequentially through the air inlet filter, packing fins, water collector, heat exchanger, and fan, before exiting through the air outlet. During this process, the air is cooled, humidified, and dust-removed by water sprayed from a spray device. The water for the spray device is supplied by a water storage tank, and the sprayed water is collected in the tank.

[0067] The spraying device 107 can take various forms:

[0068] Form 1: The spray device 107 is an integrated spray double water curtain generator.

[0069] An integrated dual-water curtain spraying device includes a spray water collection tank 107.1, with a water curtain collection tank 107.2 connected to each end of the spray water collection tank 107.1. A water curtain guide plate 110 is positioned directly below each of the two water curtain collection tanks 107.2, located on one side of the air inlet and the other side of the air outlet of the packing heat sink 103. A fixed flow channel is provided between the water curtain collection tanks 107.2 and the spray water collection tank 107.1. A flow regulating plate 107.3 is attached to one side of the fixed flow plate 107.3. Both the fixed flow plate 107.3 and the adjacent flow regulating plate 107.4 are provided with multiple flow regulating holes 107.41 arranged along the length direction. The flow regulating holes are preferably oval in shape. One end of the flow regulating plate 107.4 is provided with an adjusting plate screw 107.5. The flow regulating plate 107.4 and the fixed flow plate 107.4 are adjusted by controlling the adjusting plate screw 107.5. The relative positions of 7.3 are adjusted to regulate the misalignment of the flow regulating holes between the two plates, thereby adjusting the amount of water supplied from the spray water collection tank 107.1 to the water curtain water collection tank 107.2. The spray water collection tank 107.1 is equipped with a spray water collection tank inlet, which is connected to the spray water delivery pipe 109. The bottom of the spray water collection tank 107.1 is equipped with a spray head connection hole 107.11, which is used for the detachable installation of a spray head 107.12. 107.11 is preferably threaded. The bottom of the water curtain collecting tank 107.2 is provided with a water curtain nozzle 107.21. The water curtain nozzle 107.21 is provided with an elongated inner channel. The inner channel has the following structure: the length of the inner channel from the upper plane to the lower plane of the water curtain nozzle 107.21 remains unchanged, and the width narrows inward in a trapezoidal structure, forming a vertical constriction section at one-third of the total height. The constriction section has the function of collecting water, so that the sprayed water will not scatter and effectively filter dust in the air. The water curtain diversion plate 110 includes multiple water curtain diversion panels 110.1, which are connected by fixing bolts 110.2. Spacing sleeves 110.3 are fitted onto the fixing bolts 110.2 between two adjacent water curtain diversion panels 110.1. Hexagonal air guide holes 110.11 are provided on the water curtain diversion panels 110.1. Fixing bolts 110.2 are inserted into the mounting holes 110.4 at the four corners and the two sides of the middle of the water curtain diversion panels 110.1. The air guide holes 110.11 between two adjacent water curtain diversion panels 110.1 are staggered. When the air containing dust passes through the water curtain diversion plate 110, it is humidified and dust-removed by the water curtain sprayed down by the water curtain nozzles 107.21 above. The air flowing out of the water curtain diversion plate 110 is clean and humidified air.

[0070] Working principle and function of integrated spray double water curtain generator:

[0071] Water enters the spray tank to meet the required spray volume. The spray heads can be installed on threaded spray head connection holes and are detachable. The flow regulating plate controls the effective orifice area through which the fluid passes by by means of parallel and staggered alignment with the fixed flow plate. By adjusting the area of ​​the effective orifice, the water flow rate is controlled, ensuring that the overall water flow is evenly and uniformly distributed within the water curtain tank. The water flow within the tank is minimally disturbed or turbulent, resulting in a more uniform and balanced water curtain spray without any water spraying or splashing.

[0072] The water curtain box on the right generates a water curtain to filter and flush the dust and dirt in the air entering the evaporative self-circulating cooler, thus purifying the air.

[0073] The water curtain box on the left generates a water curtain to separate the condensed water and air caused by excessive moisture from the humidified packing heat sink. Through the water curtain's treatment, the hydrophilic and fusion properties of water allow the excessive moisture content of the condensed water droplets to be separated from the humid air.

[0074] Water curtain guide plates can be used individually or stacked in multiple pieces. When multiple plates are stacked, they are arranged at a certain interval. The water sprayed down vertically cuts the air, forming a complete water curtain. When air passes through the water curtain, dust and particulate matter in the air are adsorbed and filtered by the water curtain. Some air impacts the water curtain, causing it to adhere to the entire guide plate and flow downwards. At this time, the air flows through the air guide holes, creating a bubble effect, increasing the contact area between air and water, increasing air humidity, and generating air turbulence. The water curtain guide plate has hexagonal holes, which helps to generate the bubble effect.

[0075] Form 2: The spray device 107 is an integrated spray single water curtain generator.

[0076] The difference between Form 2 and Form 1 is that a water curtain guide plate 110 is provided only on one side of the air inlet of the packing heat sink 103, and a water curtain collection tank 107.2 is located above the water curtain guide plate 110.

[0077] Form 3: The spray device 107 is a split-type spray water curtain generator.

[0078] The difference between Form 3 and Form 2 is that the water curtain collection tank 107.2 exists independently and is directly supplied with water by the spray water delivery pipe 109. The setting of the spray water collection tank 107.1 is cancelled and replaced by multiple spray pipes 111 arranged in parallel. The multiple spray pipes 111 are directly connected to the spray water delivery pipe 109. If necessary, a water curtain diversion plate 110 can be set on one side of the air inlet and air outlet of the packing heat sink 103, and the water curtain collection tank 107.2 is set above the corresponding water curtain diversion plate 110.

[0079] The water collector 104 includes multiple water collecting plates 104.1 arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom. The water collecting plates 104.1 are connected by screw rods 104.2. A support sleeve 104.4 is provided outside the screw rod 104.2 between two upper and lower water collecting plates 104.1. The support sleeve 104.4 can be integrally stamped with the water collecting plate 104.1 or it can be a separate sleeve. The water collecting plate 104.1 is arranged sequentially from the air outlet side to the air outlet side as a first inclined surface 104.11, an inclined section 104.12, and a second inclined surface 104.13. The first inclined surface 104.11... .11 is parallel to the second inclined plane 104.13. The inclined section 104.12 is at an obtuse angle to both the first inclined plane 104.11 and the second inclined plane 104.13. The slope of the inclined section 104.12 is greater than the slopes of the first inclined plane 104.11 and the second inclined plane 104.13. The first inclined plane 104.11 is provided with a plurality of arrayed guide holes 104.14. Preferably, two or more lead screws 104.2 are threaded through the first inclined plane 104.11 and two or more lead screws 104.2 are also threaded through the second inclined plane 104.13.

[0080] As a preferred first option, the water collector 104 can be upgraded to a water collector with a centrally rotating tilt that can change its inclination. A fixed support 104.3 is provided in the middle of the water collector 104. The fixed support 104.3 includes multiple fixed sleeves 104.31, multiple connecting rods 104.32, and a central adjusting rod 104.33. The fixed sleeves 104.31 are fitted into the middle sections of multiple lead screws 104.2. The connecting rods 104.32 connect the fixed sleeves 104.31 at the same lateral position. A central adjusting rod 104.33 passes through multiple connecting rods 104.32 to form the fixed support 104.3. The fixed support 104.3 allows the angle of the entire water collector 104 to be controlled by adjusting the rotation of the central adjusting rod 104.33, which is convenient for collecting water vapor at different wind speeds.

[0081] The working principle and function of a tilt-adjustable water collector: The water-collecting plate is fixed at a certain angle. The installed water collector is also fixed at a certain angle. With the center adjustment rod installed, it can be adjusted clockwise or counterclockwise. Rotating the water collector clockwise increases the water-collecting angle, resulting in better water collection but also increased wind resistance; rotating the water collector counterclockwise decreases the water-collecting angle, resulting in poorer water collection but less wind resistance.

[0082] As a second preferred option, the water collector 104 can also be upgraded to a splash-proof water collector with adjustable moisture and air content. A movable water collector 104.5 is hinged to the high-end free end of the first inclined surface 104.11, i.e., the low end of the first inclined surface 104.11. The width of the movable water collector 104.5 is the same as the width of the first inclined surface 104.11. The movable water collector 104.5 is provided with a movable water collector guide hole 104.51. A movable water collector positioning connection hole 104.53 is provided on the edge of the movable water collector 104.5. A first inclined surface positioning connection hole 104.54 is provided on the edge of the first inclined surface 104.11. The movable water collector 104.53 and the first inclined surface positioning connection hole 104.54 are staggered. The movable water collector 104.5 and the first inclined surface... Preferably, surface 104.11 is hinged to the first inclined surface positioning connection hole 104.54 by a connecting rod positioning pin 104.52 passing through the positioning connection hole 104.53 of the movable water-collecting plate and ending with a clamp 104.55. Each of the free ends of the multiple movable water-collecting plates 104.5 is provided with a connecting rod positioning hole. A movable water-collecting plate connecting rod 104.6 connects the connecting rod positioning holes of the multiple movable water-collecting plates 104.5. A first adjusting chain rod 104.7 is rotatably connected to the middle of the movable water-collecting plate connecting rod 104.6. The first adjusting chain rod 104.7 and the second adjusting chain rod 104.8 are connected by a movable pin. The second adjusting chain rod 104.8 is rotatably connected to the fixed base. The angle of the movable water-collecting plate 104.5 can be adjusted by the adjusting screw 104.9 at the end of the second adjusting chain rod 104.8.

[0083] The working principle and function of a splash-proof, moisture-containing adjustable water collector: Adjusting the direction of the movable water collector plate changes the angle between the movable water collector plate and the first inclined plane, creating a swirling cavity within the angle. When air with excessive moisture content and condensation passes through this swirling cavity, due to the influence of swirling force, swirling negative pressure, and gravity, the excessive moisture content and condensation separate from the air. The humid air rises through the water collector, while the condensation droplets are discharged through the guide holes. The larger the angle, the greater the swirling force and swirling negative pressure, resulting in better water collection; the smaller the angle, the smaller the swirling force and swirling negative pressure, resulting in poor water collection. Adjusting the movable water collector plate can compensate for the shortcomings of traditional water collectors, such as poor water collection and high wind resistance under high airflow and high air velocity conditions, allowing for precise adjustment of the water collection effect.

[0084] The water storage tank 108 is internally equipped with multiple filter partitions 108.1, which divide the water storage tank 108 into a sedimentation tank 108.2, a water filtration tank 108.3, and a clean water tank 108.4. The water filtration tank 108.3 is located directly below the packing heat sink 103. The sedimentation tank 108.2 and the clean water tank 108.4 are located on both sides of the water filtration tank 108.3 and are connected to each other. The sedimentation tank 108.2 and the clean water tank 108.4 are respectively arranged opposite each other on one side of the air inlet and air outlet of the machine body.

[0085] The water collected in the sedimentation tank is mainly used by the water curtain box to filter and flush the dust and dirt in the air entering the evaporative self-circulating cooler. The water containing dust and dirt then flows to the sedimentation tank for sedimentation, and the water passes through the filter baffle to the water filter box, and then through the filter baffle to the clear water tank.

[0086] The water collected in the water filter box is water sprayed from the spray pipe, and then passes through the packing heat sink and air heat exchange to increase the moisture content in the air.

[0087] The water collected in the clean water tank is water received from the water collector and water from the automatic water replenisher.

[0088] The above are merely specific application examples of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

Claims

1. A method of using a water collector with a centrally rotating tilt that can change its inclination, characterized in that: The water collector is fixedly installed at a certain angle. A central adjusting rod drives the water collector to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. When the water collector rotates clockwise, the water collection angle increases; when it rotates counterclockwise, the water collection angle decreases. The water collector, with its adjustable tilt, includes multiple water collection plates (104.1) arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom. The water collection plates (104.1) are connected by screw rods (104.2). The upper and lower water collection plates (104.1) are connected by screw rods (104.2). A support sleeve (104.4) is provided outside the lead screw (104.2). The water collecting plate (104.1) is configured with a first inclined surface (104.11), an inclined section (104.12), and a second inclined surface (104.13) in sequence from the air inlet side to the air outlet side. The first inclined surface (104.11) and the second inclined surface (104.13) are parallel. The inclined section (104.12) is parallel to both the first inclined surface (104.11) and the second inclined surface (104.13). All angles are obtuse. The slope of the inclined section (104.12) is greater than that of the first inclined surface (104.11) and the second inclined surface (104.13). The first inclined surface (104.11) is provided with a plurality of arrayed guide holes (104.14). A fixed bracket (104.3) is provided in the middle of the water collector (104). The fixed bracket (104.3) includes a plurality of fixed sleeves (104.31), a plurality of connecting rods (104.32), and a single... A central adjusting rod (104.33) and a fixed sleeve (104.31) are fitted onto the middle section of multiple threaded rods (104.2). A connecting rod (104.32) connects the fixed sleeves (104.31) at the same lateral position. A central adjusting rod (104.33) passes through multiple connecting rods (104.32) to form a fixed bracket (104.3). The angle of the internal water collector (104) can be adjusted externally by rotating the central adjusting rod (104.33).

2. The method of using a water collector with a center rotation that can change its tilt angle according to claim 1, characterized in that: The support sleeve (104.4) and the water collection plate (104.1) are either integrally stamped or are separate sleeves.

3. The method of using a water collector with a center rotation that can change its tilt angle according to claim 1, characterized in that: Two or more lead screws (104.2) are threaded through the first inclined plane (104.11) and the second inclined plane (104.13).
