Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air-cooled condensing units, and in particular relates to an anti-dirt and anti-scaling, low-temperature countercurrent air-cooled condensing unit. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are generally two types of air-cooled condensing units. One is a conventional air-cooled condensing unit. The condensing temperature of this type of working fluid is more than 10°C higher than the ambient dry-bulb temperature. The condensing temperature is relatively high. Under the same working conditions, the compressor pressure ratio is large, and the system energy consumption is high. The other type of air-cooled condensing unit is to install a water atomization device at the air inlet of the unit. The condensing temperature of this type of unit is generally more than 10°C higher than the ambient wet-bulb temperature. A lower condensing temperature can be obtained. Under the same working conditions, the compressor pressure ratio is small and the system energy consumption is low. However, when the atomized water droplets evaporate on the fin curtain tube condensing heat exchanger, the minerals in the water remain on the fin curtain, causing the fin curtain to scale, the heat transfer coefficient to decrease, and the unit performance to decay quickly. The fin curtain tube condensing heat exchangers of the above two units are directly exposed to the atmosphere. When the unit is running, dust and debris can easily adhere to the heat exchanger with the airflow, causing the heat exchanger to be dirty and blocked, affecting the condensation effect.

[0003] In summary, the current use of air-cooled condensing units has problems such as high energy consumption, low system efficiency, high condensing temperature, easy dirt and clogging, easy scaling, and rapid performance degradation. Technical personnel in this field urgently need to improve this type of equipment. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

People who are familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification; however, it should be pointed out that the following specific implementation methods do not technically limit the present technical solution. Under the guidance of the following technical solution, those skilled in the art can also make further technical extensions. The scope of protection of this patent application shall be subject to the claims.

[0014] Embodiment 1: A low temperature countercurrent air-cooled condensing unit, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a condensing unit body 1, a fan system 2, an air outlet bin 3, an air humidification module 5, an air inlet 6, and a fin curtain tube condensing heat exchanger 11.

[0015] The air inlet 6 is arranged on the inner side wall of the condensing unit body 1, and an air humidification module 5 is arranged near the air inlet 6. In this embodiment, the air humidification modules 5 are at least two groups and are arranged vertically symmetrically.

The pipeline 81 extends from the left and right sides to the top of the air humidification module 5. A plurality of spray heads 4 are arranged at the end of the pipeline 81, and the spray heads 4 are arranged toward the air humidification module 5; the air humidification module 5 is an evaporative heat dissipation filler or a wet curtain humidifier. This embodiment adopts a spiral wet curtain humidifier, which is arranged at intervals by a plurality of fin curtains 51. After the airflow enters the equipment through the air inlet 6, it is humidified isotropically by the air humidification module 5; the fin curtain tube condensation heat exchanger 11 is arranged above the air humidification module 5, such as Figure 2As shown, there are multiple finned tube condensing heat exchangers 11 arranged horizontally, and each finned tube condensing heat exchanger 11 is provided with a gaseous working medium inlet 13 and a liquid working medium outlet 12. The gaseous medium enters the finned tube condensing heat exchanger 11 and is condensed, and the obtained condensed water is discharged through the liquid working medium outlet 12.

[0016] After the above structure is set, the airflow enters the air humidification module 5 through the air inlet 6 and after isenthalpic humidification, the air temperature is reduced to close to the ambient wet-bulb temperature. This cooling can effectively reduce the condensation temperature of the working medium flowing through the fin curtain tube heat exchanger 11 tube, thereby improving the system efficiency; when the condensation temperature of the unit is reduced, the compression ratio of the compressor is reduced under the same working conditions, and the power consumption of the compressor is reduced; furthermore, the installation of the air humidification module 5 can purify the air entering the interior of the equipment, prevent dust and debris from adhering to the fin curtain tube condensation heat exchanger with the airflow, avoid dirt and blockage of the heat exchanger, and realize high-pressure cleaning of the air humidification module; the air humidification module 5 also has the functions of diversion and water blocking, and no fine water droplets enter the interior of the unit, which can avoid scaling of the fin curtain tube condensation heat exchanger and effectively alleviate the performance degradation of the heat exchanger.

[0017] The air outlet bin 3 is arranged on the top of the condensing unit body 1, and a fan system 2 is arranged inside the air outlet bin 3. The four sides of the air outlet bin 3 are in an open state, and the top of the air outlet bin 3 is in a semi-open state. The top of the air outlet bin 3 is designed to be in a semi-open state in order to use the top surface of the air outlet bin 3 as an exhaust port when necessary. When it is rainy or snowy outside, in order to ensure the cleanliness of the air outlet bin 3 and the inside of the condensing unit body 1, the present invention can realize the closure of the top surface of the air outlet bin 3. The specific driving structure is as follows: Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the air outlet bin 3 includes a frame 31, the periphery of the frame 31 is an open design, and a ventilation valve is arranged on the top of the frame 31.

A motor fixing frame 92 is also arranged on the frame 31, and a driving motor 9 is fixed on the motor fixing frame 92. A driving gear 91 is arranged on the top of the driving motor, and the driving motor 9 drives the driving gear 91 to rotate, and at the same time drives the driven component 37 and the vent 34 to be blocked or not, thereby realizing axial ventilation.

[0018] When necessary, the above structure can be used to increase the ventilation volume and improve the cooling efficiency.

[0019] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention realizes humidification of the air flow inside the condensing unit body 1 and the blocking of impurities by setting an air humidification module 5. However, this operation mode will block all external impurities on the air humidification module 5. After long-term use, the ventilation rate of the air humidification module 5 will be reduced. In order to avoid the above problems, Figure 2 As shown, the technical solution is provided with a high-pressure chamber 10 at both ends of the air humidification module, and a plurality of high-pressure fans 101 are arranged inside the high-pressure chamber 10. The high-pressure fans 101 are arranged toward the gap of the fin curtain 51 inside the air humidification module 5, and a vertical baffle 52 is arranged in the middle of the air humidification module 5. The left and right sides of the vertical baffle 52 are respectively provided with impurity removal gaps 53, and the bottom of the impurity removal gap 53 is provided with an external discharge port 54. Through the above structural arrangement, the external discharge port 54 can be connected to an external collecting device or a negative pressure collecting device. When the low-temperature countercurrent air-cooled condensing unit is in a non-working state, the plurality of high-pressure fans 101 arranged inside the high-pressure chamber 10 are started in a pulse state, and the impurities in the gap of the fin curtain 51 are blown out by the high-pressure fans 101 and diverted downward at the impurity removal gap 53 and discharged.
