TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning refrigeration equipment, in particular to a new structure of filler coil type evaporative condenser and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The condenser is one of the main heat exchange equipment in the refrigeration device, and its function is to transfer the heat of high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor to the cooling medium and make it condense into liquid, and its performance directly affects the operation of the refrigeration device.
[0003] The existing filler-coil type evaporative condenser adds a group of cooling tower filler layers in the traditional evaporative condenser to reduce the temperature of the sprayed water. The upper half of the condenser is usually an induced evaporative condenser, and the lower half is a cooling tower. Under the drive of the fan, the external air flows from top to bottom through the coil, and completes heat and mass exchange with the sprayed water. Then the air is guided to the right static pressure chamber by the water baffle. After the sprayed water drips from the coil, it enters the lower cooling tower filler layer and is further cooled by the new air flow. Therefore, the cooling temperature of the sprayed water on the coil is lower than that of the traditional evaporative condenser, and a lower condensing temperature can be achieved than the traditional evaporative condenser.
[0004] However, the current filler-coil type evaporative condenser design has the following problems: first, the coil is too close to the fan, which causes the air flow to tend to flow along the path with the smallest resistance, and the many dead angles in the coil area exacerbate the uneven distribution of the wind speed field; in addition, during the air extraction process, the air volume in the filler area is insufficient, which weakens the cooling effect of the evaporative condenser; at the same time, due to the fluctuation of outdoor temperature and humidity, under the current control technology, this type of evaporative condenser is difficult to maintain optimal operating conditions.
