TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The external cooling water system of an extra-high voltage direct current converter station is an important component of a direct current transmission project. The raw water quality of the external cooling water system of a direct current converter station is generally poor in China. The pipes and cooling towers of the external cooling system are seriously scaled. The operation and management of the external cooling water system of a converter station mainly have the following problems at present.
[0003] 1. The scaling of the cooling tower coil of the external cooling water system seriously reduces the heat transfer coefficient of the cooling equipment, affects the heat dissipation capacity of the external cooling water system, and causes the scaling of the metal equipment to form a concentration cell on the surface of the metal equipment, thereby causing corrosion of the metal under the scale and affecting the service life of the cooling tower. The pH value, water temperature, light and nutrient components are conducive to the reproduction of microorganisms and algae, which makes the circulating water turbid and smelly, forms a sticky mud to block the heat exchange elements, reduces the cooling effect of the cooling water, and increases the operation cost.
[0004] 2. The scaling of the cooling tower coil of the external cooling water system increases the energy consumption of the cooling system, causing unnecessary loss of electric energy.

[0033] As one of the embodiments of the present application, two resistance trigger mechanisms are arranged in the vertical parts of the two U-shaped branch pipes 3 respectively, the resistance trigger mechanism comprises a mounting strip 18 which is horizontally fixedly connected in the U-shaped branch pipe 3, a filter screen 22 which can slide up and down is arranged in the U-shaped branch pipe 3, the filter screen 22 is elastically connected with the lower end of the mounting strip 18 through a first spring 21, the lower end of the mounting strip 18 is fixedly connected with a hollow cylinder 19, the inside of the hollow cylinder 19 is provided with a cavity 23, the lower end of the hollow cylinder 19 is fixedly connected with an elastic bag 20, the inner top of the elastic bag 20 is communicated with the cavity 23 through a connecting pipe 24, the cavity 23 is provided with a conductive piston 27 which can slide up and down, the inner top of the cavity 23 is mounted with a touch delay switch 26, after the touch delay switch 26 is triggered, the energized element will be energized for a period of time and then automatically turned off, the space of the inner top of the cavity 23 is communicated with the outside through a ventilation pipe 28;
[0034] As one of the embodiments of the present application, the upper end of the rectangular box 6 is mounted with an alarm 7, the sliding plate 29 has magnetism, the adjacent surfaces of the electromagnet 30 and the sliding plate 29 repel each other after the electromagnet 30 is energized, the alarm 7 and the electromagnet 30 are in a series circuit, the two touch delay switches 26 are connected in parallel into the series circuit of the alarm 7 and the electromagnet 30, the lower end of the lower horizontal part of each U-shaped branch pipe 3 is communicated with a liquid outlet pipe 4, the lower end part of each liquid outlet pipe 4 is mounted with a sealing cover 15.
[0035] In the present application, when in use, the first pipe body 1, the right U-shaped branch pipe 3 and the second pipe body 2 are all communicated with the outside cold water channel (and as shown in the figure, the right U-shaped branch pipe 3 is also communicated with the outside cold water channel) Figure 1As shown, the water body in the flow channel moves from bottom to top), heat exchange cooling is achieved, in the process, the pulse scale inhibition and removal device body 8 is started, the electric pulse is directionally coupled to the outer cooling water in the pipeline, the scale-forming cations (calcium ions, magnesium ions, etc.) in the outer cooling water are quickly crystallized with the acid radical ions (carbonate ions), the crystallization is suspended in the water without adhering to the surface of the heat exchange element, that is, the scale inhibition of the outer cooling water equipment can be achieved. If the scale (calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate) has adhered to the surface of the heat exchange element during the operation of the outer cooling water equipment, after the installation of the pulse scale inhibition and removal device body 8, the trace carbon dioxide in the outer cooling water can be reacted with the carbonate under the action of the electric pulse to generate soluble bicarbonate, and the old scale on the heat exchange element is removed.
[0036] In the above process, in the initial state, the right U-shaped branch pipe 3 is in a conductive state, and the crystallization and removed scale in the water body is filtered at the right filter screen 22. As the impurities increase, the resistance of the filter screen 22 to the water flow impact increases, so that the filter screen 22 continuously moves upward. When a large amount of impurities are accumulated, the filter screen 22 moves upward to contact the elastic bag 20 and compresses the elastic bag 20. After the elastic bag 20 is compressed, the gas is pressed into the cavity 23, pushing the conductive piston 27 to move upward, so that the conductive piston 27 contacts the touch delay switch 26. At this time, the electromagnet 30 and the alarm 7 are energized for a period of time and automatically turned off. After the electromagnet 30 is energized, it pushes the sliding plate 29 to move rightward. The rightward movement of the sliding plate 29 makes the rack move rightward and rotates the gear 25. After the rack moves rightward to the maximum position, the gear 25 just rotates 180°. In this way, the whole formed by the rotating shaft 5, the two rotating plates 16 and the two arc-shaped sealing plates 17 rotates 180°. At this time, the right U-shaped branch pipe 3 is sealed, and the left U-shaped branch pipe 3 is conductive.
[0037] At this time, the right U-shaped branch pipe 3 has no liquid flow, and the resistance of the right filter screen 22 disappears. Most of the scale and impurities move downward under the elastic action of the first spring 21 and the inertia of the filter screen 22. The filter screen 22 shakes multiple times and finally stops moving. When the filter screen 22 shakes, the scale and crystallization adhered to the lower end of the filter screen 22 are separated. At this time, the staff only needs to open the sealing cover 15 on the right liquid outlet pipe 4. The shaken scale and crystallization are finally discharged with the water flow from the liquid outlet pipe 4 to the outside, completing the whole self-cleaning process, and the self-cleaning process does not affect the overall water cooling operation.
[0038] In addition, it should be noted that the use of the alarm 7 can remind the staff to discharge the waste water. When the left side accumulates a large amount of impurities, the above process is repeated.
[0039] The above merely describes preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
