Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to cooling equipment for industrial circulating water, in particular to a multi-stage heat exchange type side-inlet cross-flow cooling tower and a multi-stage heat exchange method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The cooling or condensation of process media in the industrial field generally requires circulating water with a lower temperature. After absorbing heat, the circulating water needs to go to the cooling tower to evaporate and dissipate heat for cooling, and then be sent to the heat exchanger again to absorb the heat of the process medium. Cooling towers are divided into two categories: open and closed. In open cooling towers, the circulating water is in direct contact with the air from the environment for heat transfer, and the water quality is poor; while in closed cooling towers, the circulating water does not contact the ambient air, and the water quality is clean. Under the suction of the fan, the air in the environment is sucked into the tower for convective heat exchange with the circulating water in the coil.

[0003] The existing cooling tower has the following defects: first, the existing cooling tower generally adopts a primary gas-liquid heat exchange, and the cooling efficiency is not high; second, the cooling tower filler is usually replaced every three years. The existing filler replacement is manually removed by removing the old filler in the tower, and then inserting new filler in the tower body. This replacement method is not only labor-intensive, but also time-consuming. The long-term replacement operation will affect the normal operation of the production equipment; third, the adaptability to the variable flow of circulating water is poor. Once the flow of circulating water is very small, the circulating water will be unevenly distributed, so that the circulating water cannot be evenly distributed in the water-sprinkling filler, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency; fourth, the existing cooling tower forms a water circulation refrigeration method between the cooling tower and the refrigerated device, and the cooling water in the tower adopts a one-way non-circulating refrigeration method, so the heat exchange effect is not good, the heat exchange efficiency is not high, and some cooling towers even waste water resources.

Under the impact of the cooling water, the turbine drives the vertical shaft to rotate, and the vertical shaft drives the scattering disk to rotate.

The rotating scattering disk scatters the circulating water onto the inner wall of the cooling main tower body; Step C, guiding cooling water to the nested cylindrical modular fillers in the cooling main tower body: the cooling water flows downward along the inner wall of the cooling main tower body to the water guiding mechanism, and flows to the edge of the top of the nested cylindrical modular fillers through the water guiding mechanism; Step D, flow distribution of cooling water on the nested cylindrical modular packing: cooling water flows from the edge of the groove-shaped structure at the top of the nested cylindrical modular packing along the groove wall to the middle of the groove, and the circulating water is distributed to each ring air-liquid heat exchange channel; Step E, the first gas-liquid heat exchange in the cooling main tower body: in the cooling main tower body, the cooling water flows in a circuitous manner along the long strip protrusions in the long strip protrusion group in each ring air-liquid heat exchange channel of the nested cylindrical modular packing, and the cooling water performs the first gas-liquid heat exchange with the air heat exchange medium during the flow; Step F, the second gas-liquid heat exchange in the cooling main tower body: in the cooling main tower body, the cooling water after the first gas-liquid heat exchange flows out from the air-liquid heat exchange channels of each ring of the nested cylindrical modular packing, and then collects downward on the conical collecting hopper. The cooling water flows from the conical collecting hopper into the gas-liquid mixed flow heat exchange tube. In the process of the cooling water flowing along the gas-liquid mixed flow heat exchange spiral channel in the gas-liquid mixed flow heat exchange tube, the cooling water performs the second gas-liquid heat exchange with the air heat exchange medium, and the heat carried by the cooling water is taken away by the air heat exchange medium.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention adopts a multi-stage gas-liquid heat exchange refrigeration method, which greatly improves the cooling efficiency. In particular, it adopts a technical solution combining the multi-stage gas-liquid heat exchange method with the gas-liquid heat exchange technology of cooling water circulation in the tower, which can make the cooling tower have a better refrigeration effect.

[0016] The filler of the present invention adopts nested cylindrical modular filler. When replacing the filler, the nested cylindrical modular filler can be directly taken out from the cooling main tower body as a whole, which solves the problem of large labor workload and long replacement time caused by replacing a single filler in a narrow cooling main tower body. In particular, the nested cylindrical modular filler is installed in a protective net frame, and the protective net frame is supported on the bearing guide rail by rollers, which further improves the replacement efficiency. After opening the filler replacement door, the staff can move the protective net frame along the bearing guide rail to the maintenance platform, remove the old nested cylindrical modular filler by a crane, and move the new nested cylindrical modular filler to the maintenance platform. The staff pushes it into the cooling main tower body and closes the filler replacement door. The replacement time of the present invention does not exceed 3 minutes at most. Compared with the existing technology that requires several hours for replacement, it has obvious advantages, basically does not affect the normal operation of the cooling tower, and can ensure the continuous operation of the production equipment cooled by the cooling tower.
