Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically to a suspended reinforced concrete structure cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] The function of a cooling tower is to cool hot water brought in from the process to a certain temperature, remove the heat load from the water, and then return the cooling water to the process. The packing is the most important part of the cooling tower. The function of the packing is to enable the hot water to have high-efficiency contact with the cooling air entering the tower, that is, to extend the residence time of the cooling water, increase the heat exchange area, and enable the water on the cooling tower packing to fully evaporate and remove heat.

[0003] Currently, steel-concrete cooling tower fillers on the market are generally supported by reinforced concrete at the bottom. This type of support structure has the following problems.

[0004] 1. The bottom reinforced concrete structure supporting the packing material has a large projected area, preventing cooling airflow from reaching partially obstructed packing areas. This creates windless zones where some packing material cannot participate in cooling, reducing packing material utilization and decreasing the cooling tower's overall efficiency.

[0005] 2. The bottom reinforced concrete structure with filler material support has a large support projection area, which obstructs some airflow, reduces the air intake area, increases wind speed, and thus increases resistance and fan energy consumption.

[0006] 3. The bottom reinforced concrete structure supports the fill material, resulting in a large supported projection area. This causes some fill material to receive high-speed airflow, while others receive no airflow. The high-speed airflow through some fill material prevents adequate contact with the water and evaporation, wasting some wind energy, which is also energy loss.

[0007] 4. The bottom reinforced concrete structure and filler support increase the height of the tower, which in turn increases the water supply pressure and water pump energy consumption. Therefore, a suspended reinforced concrete structure cooling tower is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
