Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention provides a water film reconstruction plate type evaporative cooler, which belongs to the field of heat exchangers and aims to solve the problem of low heat exchange efficiency caused by poor uniformity and integrity of water film on the surface of the evaporative cooler under high-speed airflow. Background Art

[0002] Existing evaporative coolers mostly distribute water on the top of the heat exchange coil. Due to the effects of surface tension and viscosity, the uniformity and integrity of the water film on the surface of the evaporative cooler are not ideal, and some parts are even dry. In addition, the difference between the saturated air pressure on the water film surface and the water vapor partial pressure in the mainstream air is the driving force for the heat and mass transfer process of the evaporative cooler. When a water film is formed on the surface of the evaporative cooler using the traditional water distribution method, most of the water droplets directly interact with the air, causing the air humidity to increase significantly, that is, the water vapor partial pressure in the air increases, the driving force for heat and mass transfer between the water film and the air is reduced, and the air heat removal capacity is not fully utilized, so the heat transfer efficiency of the evaporative cooler is low.

[0003] In view of the problem of poor uniformity and integrity of the water film on the surface of the existing evaporative cooler, the applicant's research group proposed to use the "evaporative water replenisher (ZL2009103003918)" to distribute water on the side of the heat exchanger, which significantly improved the uniformity and integrity of the water film and increased the driving force of mass transfer. However, since the evaporative water replenisher uses the reaction force of water droplets ejected from the nozzle at high speed to drive the device to rotate automatically, the pressure and air volume of the compressed air are very large, and the air pressure is much greater than the pressure required for spraying, resulting in a sharp increase in the power of the air compressor and serious energy waste. What is more serious is that the rotating body of the water distribution device is mounted on the water inlet channel, and the rotating body and the outer wall of the water inlet channel form a cavity, and the rotating body is supported by bearings. Therefore, the friction between the moving parts and the stationary parts of the device, the sealing and the driving force of the device constitute a series of mutually restrictive problems: 1) If good sealing is required, the friction of the device will increase sharply, and the power required to drive the device to rotate will also increase sharply, and the power of the air compressor will increase sharply; 2) If poor sealing is required, the leakage will be serious, a large amount of compressed air will be wasted, and the motor power required by the compressor will also increase; 3) Tiny impurities in water or compressed air or fine metal chips generated during the rotation of the device can easily get stuck in the gap between the moving parts and the stationary parts, causing the device to stop rotating frequently, resulting in the heat exchanger being unable to discharge heat and affecting the safety of the unit; 4) Leakage of the water distributor will cause the lubricating oil of the bearing to splash onto the surface of the heat exchanger, seriously weakening the uniformity and integrity of the water film; 5) The premature contact between compressed air and water causes air to leak from the water tank side, and the water is pressed back into the water tank, so the water pump pressure has to be increased to a level close to the compressed air pressure, which is far greater than the economic pressure required for atomization.

[0004] In response to the above problems, the applicant proposed to use an electric motor to provide rotational power to solve the above problems such as high energy consumption and unstable operation, and based on this solution, developed a series of equipment technologies such as "rotary water distributor (ZL2011103411312)", "air atomization distribution device of rotary water distributor on both sides (ZL2013201382945)", "pressure atomization distribution device of rotary water distributor on both sides (ZL2013201382945)" and "indirect evaporative cooler with rotary water distribution on both sides (ZL2013201383026)". This series of technologies solves all the problems of "evaporative water replenisher (ZL2009103003918)". Compared with the existing evaporative cooler, the performance is improved by about 80%. However, the utilization rate of air heat removal capacity has a limit value lower than the research expectation. After this limit value, no matter how the water film performance is strengthened, the heat exchange efficiency will no longer be improved, and in some cases it will even decrease (National Natural Science Foundation Project: 51406015). The reasons are: 1. While water distribution on both sides significantly improves the water film performance and strengthens the heat exchange between the water film and the wall, the spraying water droplets still weaken the latent heat exchange capacity of the air to a certain extent. Some of the atomized droplets directly exchange heat and mass with the air and do not participate in removing the heat of the high-temperature medium inside the evaporative cooler. The heat removal capacity of the air cannot be maximized; 2. The heat transfer coefficient between the water film and the wall is too small, and the heat exchange between the water film and the wall needs to be further strengthened.

[0005] In view of the excellent heat exchange performance of the "indirect evaporative cooler with rotating water distribution on both sides (ZL2013201383026)", the research team installed the equipment in the underground exhaust tunnel of the subway station air conditioner to solve the engineering problem of finding a location on the ground that meets the requirements of the cooling tower and is coordinated with the surrounding environment during subway construction. At the same time, it recovers the energy of the subway station air conditioning exhaust, reduces the initial investment in subway station construction and the operating energy consumption of the air conditioning system. The study found that when the equipment is used in the air conditioning system of the subway underground project, its heat exchange performance is much lower than that of other air conditioning projects. The error of medium and large evaporative coolers is particularly significant. The existing technology of the equipment is not suitable for subway underground air conditioning projects. The main reasons for this problem are: 1. The air velocity in the subway exhaust tunnel is much greater than the air velocity of the current evaporative cooler. The uniformity and integrity of the water film on the surface of the evaporative cooler under high-speed airflow is much lower than the uniformity and integrity of the water film at the conventional airflow velocity; 2. In order not to increase the resistance of the subway station exhaust system, the applicant slightly Increasing the coil spacing further aggravates the unevenness of the water film on the surface of the evaporative cooler, and at the same time the water floating phenomenon becomes more serious. The heat and mass transfer capacity of the water film and the air is seriously weakened, and the utilization rate of the air's heat dissipation capacity is low. If the coil spacing is not increased, the energy consumption of the station exhaust system will increase significantly; 3. The water film distribution in the height direction of the evaporative cooler coil is particularly uneven. After a certain height of the evaporative cooler coil, the water film on the coil surface is distributed linearly and the flow rate is extremely low. The heat exchange coefficient between the water film and the air is low, and the heat of the high-temperature medium inside the evaporative cooler cannot be efficiently discharged, so the heat exchanger performance is low.

[0006] Therefore, under high-speed airflow, how to form a uniform and complete water film on the surface of the evaporative cooler without causing water floating problems and maximize the heat transfer coefficient between the water film and the surface of the evaporative cooler is the key to ensuring that the evaporative cooler can achieve efficient heat exchange under high-speed airflow conditions.

The primary air enters from the inlet of the primary air channel, exchanges heat with the air in the secondary air channel, and then flows out from the outlet of the primary air channel. The spray water is sprayed by the first water distributor, passes through the initial water film forming device, the first water film reconstruction device, and the second water film reconstruction device, and forms a uniform and complete water film on the surface of the water film reconstruction plate evaporative cooler to achieve efficient heat exchange.

[0009] Furthermore, the second water distributor and the third water distributor determine the setting height, opening cycle and water distribution amount according to the load borne by the water film reconstruction plate evaporative cooler.

[0010] Furthermore, the first water film reconstruction device and the second water film reconstruction device determine the setting height, the width of the first water film reconstruction outlet and the second water film reconstruction outlet according to the load borne by the water film reconstruction plate evaporative cooler.
