BACKGROUND
[0002] The closed cooling tower has many advantages such as clean, water saving, energy saving, direct cooling supply to the end, etc., but also has disadvantages such as high cost, large volume, heavy, etc. These disadvantages are because the efficiency of the column tube heat exchanger used in the conventional closed cooling tower is low, the surface area is not large enough, the water spraying is rough and uneven, causing uneven distribution of liquid film on the filler and the surface of the heat exchanger, so the water evaporation efficiency of the conventional closed cooling tower on the filler and the surface of the heat exchanger is not high, and the heat exchange efficiency is also poor. In order to achieve the corresponding cooling effect, the equipment must be large. The research and development of closed cooling tower focuses on improving the water flow, air flow distribution efficiency, and water evaporation, heat transfer efficiency, etc. The longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger used in the closed cooling tower has the advantages of long counterflow heat exchange stroke, high heat transfer efficiency, small wind resistance, high wind speed, etc., but a series of problems need to be solved, such as high cost of finned tube processing, complex water flow distribution inside the heat exchanger, uniformity of water spraying, etc. SUMMARY

The embodiment of the present application generally mainly cools liquid fluid, but is not limited to the case of protecting liquid fluid from indirect evaporation cooling.
[0045] First embodiment:
[0046] As shown in Figure 1 The longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 of the embodiment is used for indirect evaporation cooling of a cooled fluid (gas, liquid) and is a sectional view of the heat exchanger. The longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 comprises an array 410 of a plurality of longitudinal finned tube heat exchange units (referred to as a heat exchange array), a heat exchanger frame, a flow divider 420, a spray water distributor 430, and a liquid collector 440.

[0083] Embodiment three:
[0084] As shown in Figure 14 , the embodiment includes a shell (not marked in the figure), an air outlet 10, a fan 20, a water collecting module 30, a longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 with an inner heat exchange sleeve and a spray head (for details, refer to the description of the first embodiment and the second embodiment above), a first wet membrane 50, an air inlet 60, a spray water pump 70, and a first water collecting tank 80.
[0085] The first water collecting tank 80 includes a tank body, a first water supplement valve 801, and a first automatic sewage device 802. The first water supplement valve 801 is arranged at the middle upper part of the tank body of the first water collecting tank 80, is an automatic floating ball valve, and is used for automatic water supplement. The first automatic sewage device 802 is arranged at the bottom of the first water collecting tank and is composed of a sewage pipe, an electromagnetic valve, and a controller, can regularly open the electromagnetic valve to automatically discharge sewage through the sewage pipe according to a control program, and is used for discharging the sediment at the bottom of the first water collecting tank.
[0086] The fan 20 is used for making the air enter the first wet membrane 50, the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 with an inner heat exchange sleeve and a spray head, the water collecting module 30, and the air outlet 10 in sequence through the way of air suction.
[0087] The fan 20, the water collecting module 30, the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 with an inner heat exchange sleeve and a spray head, and the first wet membrane 50 are arranged in sequence along the air outlet direction.
[0088] The first wet membrane 50 is used for humidifying and cooling the air and cooling the spray water sprayed on the first wet membrane 50.
[0089] Preferably, the first wet membrane 50 is obliquely arranged between the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 with built-in heat exchange jacket and shower head and the first water collecting tank 80. By obliquely arranging the wet membrane, the windward area and surface area are increased, and the evaporation cooling efficiency of the wet membrane is improved.
[0090] Preferably, the first wet membrane is a paper or polymer synthetic material wet membrane with a certain thickness, so that the relative humidity of the air humidified by the wet membrane is not less than 95% (generally, the relative humidity is 95%-97%) when the fluid cooling device is in use, and the evaporation cooling process mainly occurs on the wet membrane, so that the air temperature after the wet membrane and the water temperature are both close to the wet bulb temperature of the air entering the wet membrane.
[0091] The embodiment improves the cooling capacity of the same volume cooling tower by arranging the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger with built-in heat exchange jacket and shower head in the closed cooling tower, and simultaneously causing the reverse flow heat exchange and indirect evaporation on the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger. In the embodiment, the same spray water flow actually achieves the double effects of reverse flow heat exchange and indirect evaporation heat exchange, improves the heat exchange capacity under the same spray water power, and reduces the energy consumption ratio of the cooling tower. The cooling tower of the embodiment has the advantages of small volume and large refrigerating capacity.
[0092] In the embodiment, the air entering the indirect evaporation heat exchanger first passes through the first wet membrane for cooling, and the first wet membrane also cools the spray water passing through the wet membrane, so that the air close to the wet bulb temperature and the spray water close to the wet bulb temperature can be obtained. The spray water is sent to the indirect evaporation heat exchanger to cause the reverse flow heat exchange and indirect evaporation heat exchange, the reverse flow heat exchange performance is further improved, the indirect evaporation heat exchange performance is slightly decreased, and the heat exchange performance of the whole indirect evaporation heat exchanger is improved. The air with lower temperature after passing through the wet membrane is used to enter the indirect evaporation heat exchanger, which improves the cooling capacity of the outdoor air to the liquid to be cooled and improves the cooling capacity of the cooling tower.
[0093] Embodiment Four:
[0094] The difference between the embodiment four and the embodiment three is that a second wet membrane 51 for washing the air entering the first wet membrane is added before the first wet membrane, as shown in Figure 15 .
[0095] Preferably, the first wet membrane 50 and the second wet membrane 51 are both arranged below the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger 40 and are arranged at different horizontal inclination angles, so that the air passing through the second wet membrane can completely flow to the first wet membrane. A water distributor 511 is arranged at the top of the second wet membrane, and the water in the water collecting tank is pumped to the second wet membrane 51 by the second spray water pump 71. The second wet membrane 51 washes the air entering the first wet membrane, which plays a role of purifying the air and cooling the air, so that the temperature of the air entering the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger is lower, and the cooling capacity of the cooling tower and the cleanliness of the evaporation cooling unit of the cooling tower are improved.
[0096] Preferably, as shown in the figure, the closed cooling tower is provided with a second water collecting tank 81 in addition to the first water collecting tank 80, and the second spray water pump draws water from the second water collecting tank. In the case where the second water collecting tank is not provided, the second spray water pump draws water from the first water collecting tank. Figure 15
[0097] Preferably, as shown in the figure, the second water collecting tank 81 is composed of a water tank body, a second water replenishing valve 811, a second automatic sewage device 812, a partition plate 813, a filter screen 814, and a baffle 815, and is divided into three areas A, B, and C. The position and type of the second water replenishing valve 811 and the second automatic sewage device 812 are consistent with those of the first water replenishing valve 801 and the first automatic sewage device 802. The second water replenishing valve 811 is arranged in the upper part of the C area, the water suction port of the second spray water pump 71 is arranged in the lower part of the C area, and the sewage inlet of the second automatic sewage device 802 is arranged at the bottom of the B area, so that the second automatic sewage device 802 can periodically discharge sewage from the second water collecting tank. Figure 16
[0098] The partition plate 813 is arranged obliquely, with one end close to the left bottom of the second water collecting tank and the other end arranged at the middle of the top edge of the second water collecting tank. The left side of the second water collecting tank and the partition plate constitute the first area A, which is used for preliminarily collecting the spray water flowing out of the wet membrane.
[0099] The filter screen 814 is preferably a 80-mesh stainless steel screen, which is arranged between the second and third areas of the second water collecting tank and further filters the spray water entering the third area.
[0100] The baffle 815 is used to block the precipitates at the bottom of the B area from entering the C area, so that the spray water in the B area is subjected to gravity sedimentation, and only the water that has not passed through the baffle 815 can enter the C area.
[0101] One end of the filter screen 814 is arranged at the middle of the top edge of the second water collecting tank, and the other end is arranged on the baffle 815.
[0102] By arranging the partition plate 813, the filter screen 814, and the baffle 815 in the second water collecting tank, the second water collecting tank can be divided into three areas, and the spray water flowing out of the wet membrane must pass through the partition plate 813, the filter screen 814, and the baffle 815 to enter the third area C, and is then sucked away by the second spray water pump. Through the blocking of the partition plate 813, the gravity sedimentation in the B area, the secondary blocking of the baffle 815, and the filtration of the filter screen 814, the water sucked out by the second spray water pump is relatively clean.
[0103] The second water collecting tank with automatic pollution discharge device, partition, filter screen and baffle is further arranged below the second wet membrane. The automatic pollution discharge device regularly discharges the precipitates in the second water collecting tank. The settlement, gravity settlement and filtration ensure the purification degree of the water extracted by the second spraying water, so that the second wet membrane is not easy to be blocked, and the number of manual cleaning of the second wet membrane is reduced.
[0104] In other embodiments, the first water collecting tank can also be provided with the structure of the second water collecting tank. The filtration ensures the purification degree of the water extracted by the second spraying water, ensures the cleanliness of the cooling water system, and reduces the number of maintenance.
[0105] Embodiment five:
[0106] The difference between embodiment five and embodiment four is that an air precooling surface cooler 90 for precooling the air entering the wet membrane is added before the second wet membrane, as shown in Figure 17 .
[0107] The air precooling surface cooler 90 can be a coil or a radial finned tube type heat exchanger. Preferably, the air precooling surface cooler is a radial finned tube type heat exchanger. Preferably, by selecting the parameters of the radial finned tube, in this embodiment, the temperature of the external air flowing through the air precooling surface cooler is reduced by 2-10℃ (all-year working condition), and the temperature of the spraying water flowing through the air precooling surface cooler is increased by 1-5℃ (all-year working condition).
[0108] Preferably, the radial finned tube heat exchanger is composed of a coil and fins, as shown in Figure 17 . The fins on the radial finned tube heat exchanger are uniformly arranged, completely cover and uniformly divide the air flow space inside the radial finned tube heat exchanger, and are corrugated along the air flow direction or staggered along the air flow direction. The flow direction of the spraying water is countercurrent to the air flow direction between the layers of the radial finned tube heat exchanger. Such a radial finned tube heat exchanger has the best cooling effect on air.
[0109] The air precooling surface cooler 90 of this embodiment can be arranged in the air inlet direction outside the cooling tower, as shown in Figure 17 , or arranged in the air inlet direction inside the cooling tower. Preferably, a wind guide louver is arranged in front of the air precooling surface cooler to guide the wind and stabilize the flow.
[0110] In the embodiment, the air pre-cooling surface cooler is preferably used to realize the obvious cooling of the external air, which is beneficial to the air temperature after the wet membrane close to the external air dew point temperature, realizes the obvious heating of the spray water, which is beneficial to the improvement of the evaporation amount of the spray water on the second wet membrane, the improvement of the evaporation cooling capacity of the second wet membrane, and the water temperature of the second water collecting tank close to the dew point temperature. Because the air temperature through the second wet membrane is close to the dew point temperature, the air temperature through the first wet membrane and the spray water through the first wet membrane are also close to the dew point temperature, so that the spray water temperature entering the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger is lower, the air temperature entering the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger is lower, and the cooling capacity of the embodiment is improved as a whole.
[0111] Embodiment six:
[0112] Compared with other embodiments, the difference of the embodiment six is that the water collecting module is preferably a radial finned tube surface cooler, and the cooled fluid first flows into the radial finned tube surface cooler and then flows into the longitudinal finned tube heat exchanger.
[0113] By setting the water collecting module as the radial finned tube surface cooler, the residual heat in the air is fully utilized to cool the cooled fluid, the utilization rate of the air residual heat of the cooling tower is improved, and the cooling capacity of the closed cooling tower is improved.
