Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-level water collection cooling towers, and specifically to a water distribution device for a large-scale high-level water collection cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] A high-level water collection cooling tower is a large cooling structure used in the wet cooling units of thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, and the cooling systems of the chemical industry. The main difference between a high-level water collection cooling tower and a conventional cooling tower is that a layer of high-level water collection device is added under the cooling filler, raising the water level in the lower pool inside the tower, saving the power loss of transporting cooling water, and reducing noise.

[0003] Existing conventional cooling towers have a rain area. When operating, the air resistance of the cold air outside the tower passing through the air inlets around the tower and entering the central area of the tower is relatively large, affecting the heat exchange effect in the inner area of the cooling tower. Therefore, the design of the water distribution system of conventional cooling towers needs to consider the significant difference in the air flow field between the inner and outer water distribution areas caused by the existence of the rain area. The inner area of the cooling tower cannot be fully heat exchanged, and the heat exchange effect is not good. For existing large-scale high-level water collection cooling towers, most of the mechanisms are integrally cast. When a mechanism is damaged, the whole mechanism needs to be replaced, and the maintenance process is cumbersome and inconvenient. For this reason, we propose a water distribution device for a large-scale high-level water collection cooling tower. Summary of the Invention

For existing large-scale high-level water collection cooling towers, most of the mechanisms are integrally cast. When a mechanism is damaged, the whole mechanism needs to be replaced, and the maintenance process is cumbersome and inconvenient. For this reason, we propose a water distribution device for a large-scale high-level water collection cooling tower.
