Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plate-type wet air coolers, and in particular to an environmentally friendly plate-type wet air cooler. Background Art

[0002] A plate-type wet air cooler is a novel air cooler that combines the advantages of both plate and air-cooled heat exchangers. It boasts high heat transfer efficiency and a large flow area, making it suitable for condensing and cooling applications with stringent pressure drop requirements and a compact footprint. It has widespread application in fields such as oil refining and coal chemical processing. Patent CN103185475A proposes a plate-type wet air cooler, which is of great significance for improving the performance of plate-type air coolers. However, it has certain limitations in terms of refined operation, safety, and environmental protection.

[0003] For on-site applications of plate-type wet air coolers, since the cooling medium is a mixture of air and spray water, it is easily affected by factors such as ambient temperature and humidity. Under extreme conditions, the outlet temperature of the hot side medium will be too high, and due to the lack of control and adjustment, it cannot meet downstream processing requirements.

[0004] In condensation cooling applications, a single plate structure is used without considering the effect of medium flow conditions on heat transfer under the conditions of gas-to-gas heat exchange in the condensation section and gas-to-liquid heat exchange in the cooling section, resulting in poor heat exchange stability.

[0005] The moisture entrained in the air is heated by the heat medium in the plate bundle and discharged from the system through the induced draft fan. The air outlet of the plate-type wet air cooler carries a large amount of water, and water is easily accumulated around the air cooler. In the cold winter weather, the entrained water forms ice near the induced draft fan outlet, causing water loss, high water consumption, and poor safety.

[0006] The entrained water forms ice near the outlet of the induced draft fan, causing water loss. At the same time, it mixes with acidic substances in the air and condenses around the equipment to form acid dew, which corrodes the surrounding equipment frames. Summary of the Invention

[0078] The present invention uses the heat exchange module 52 as the boundary, with all pipes and external connections arranged on one side as the piping area. The control cabinet 12, fan 1, and access door 60 are arranged on the other side as the operation area. This clearly demarcates the areas and facilitates on-site operation and maintenance. All components can be prefabricated and assembled in the factory, allowing for integrated transportation and easy on-site installation.

[0079] A liquid collecting box 46 is provided on the bottom skid 30, and a filter screen 59 is provided on the liquid collecting box. The skid surface of the bottom skid 30 is inclined toward the liquid collecting box 46, which can reduce water accumulation on the skid surface and achieve high-quality recovery of spray water. The box-type design can reduce evaporation and splashing of spray water, prevent white fog in summer and ice in winter, and has good water-saving and environmental protection performance as a whole.
