[0056] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0057] The following describes a method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for controlling the water temperature of a cooling tower according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for controlling water temperature in a cooling tower provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0060] Step 101, obtaining the unit load, meteorological parameters and circulating cooling water volume of the indirect air cooling tower.

[0061] In some embodiments, by integrating sensors and monitoring systems, the load information of the unit served by the indirect air-cooled cooling tower is obtained in real time, including but not limited to indicators such as the unit's electric power output, steam flow, thermal efficiency, etc. Through these data, the current working status and heat demand of the unit can be accurately understood.

[0062] In some embodiments, a weather station or remote weather monitoring equipment may be used to collect real-time environmental weather parameters at the location of the indirect air-cooled cooling tower, including ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation intensity, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, a flow meter and a temperature sensor are installed to monitor the flow and temperature of the circulating cooling water in real time. The flow of the circulating cooling water is a key factor affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower, while the temperature is directly related to the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower.

[0064] Step 102, based on the unit load of the indirect air cooling tower, the meteorological parameters and the parameters monitored by the circulating cooling water volume, a thermal performance calculation is performed to determine the thermal state of the cooling tower.

[0065] Calculate the heat load of the condenser based on the unit load data obtained in real time. The condenser heat load is the heat that needs to be removed by the cooling tower. It is a key parameter that determines the operating status of the cooling tower. When calculating, factors such as the thermal efficiency of the unit, steam flow rate, and steam parameters are included. Calculate the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower using the flow and temperature data of the circulating cooling water combined with the condenser heat load. The calculation of the heat exchange efficiency may involve a heat exchange model of the cooling tower, which takes into account factors such as the geometric structure of the cooling tower, the characteristics of the packing, and the air mass flow rate. Combined with meteorological parameters, the thermal performance of the cooling tower is corrected.

[0066] In some embodiments, during calculation, a shutter opening can be preset, and thermal performance calculation is performed based on the preset shutter opening to obtain the final cooling water outlet water temperature to determine whether the temperature meets the preset value of the outlet water temperature.

[0067] Step 103, determining a target opening of the shutters according to the thermal performance calculation result, and controlling the shutters according to the target opening.

[0068] In some embodiments, the temperature of the water outlet is determined based on the thermal performance calculation results, and it is determined whether the temperature meets the preset water outlet temperature threshold. If it does, the shutter opening of the preset value is determined as the target opening. If the temperature does not meet the preset water outlet temperature threshold, the shutter opening is reset and the thermal performance calculation is performed again until the calculated water outlet temperature meets the preset water outlet temperature threshold.

[0069] The present disclosure provides a method for controlling the water temperature of a cooling tower, and the main technical solutions include: obtaining the unit load, meteorological parameters and circulating cooling water volume of an indirect air cooling tower; performing thermal performance calculations based on the unit load of the indirect air cooling tower, the meteorological parameters and the parameters monitored by the circulating cooling water volume to determine the thermal state of the cooling tower; determining the target opening of the shutters according to the results of the thermal performance calculations, and controlling the shutters according to the target opening. Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the present application timely adjusts the shutter opening by real-time monitoring of the unit load, meteorological parameters and circulating cooling water parameters, combined with thermal performance calculations, to ensure that the water temperature out of the tower meets the unit operation requirements, and by optimizing the shutter opening, the energy consumption of the cooling tower can be reduced, and the operating cost can be reduced. On the premise of ensuring the cooling effect, energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved, which is in line with the development concept of green environmental protection.

[0070] In some embodiments, after determining the target opening of the shutter according to the thermal performance calculation result and controlling the shutter according to the target opening, the method further includes:

[0071] When there is a data change in at least one of the unit load of the indirect air cooling tower and the meteorological parameter, the thermal performance calculation is re-performed and the shutter opening is determined.

[0072] In some embodiments, the unit load and meteorological parameters of the indirect air cooling tower may change frequently, so the present invention provides a dynamic adjustment mechanism for recalculating the thermal performance and determining the opening of the shutters when the data changes.

[0073] When at least one of the unit load or meteorological parameters is detected to have a change above a predetermined threshold, the system will trigger a recalculation of the thermal performance process.

[0074] Use the latest unit load and meteorological parameter data to re-run the thermal performance calculation model; based on the new calculation results, re-determine the target opening of the blinds. Finally, adjust the blinds opening according to the target opening.

[0075] Through closed-loop feedback, the system will continuously monitor the water temperature out of the tower and make fine adjustments based on the actual results to maintain the efficient operation of the cooling tower.

[0076] In some embodiments, the obtaining of the unit load, meteorological parameters and the circulating cooling water volume of the indirect air cooling tower further comprises:

[0077] Acquiring real-time meteorological parameters; wherein the meteorological parameters include at least one of temperature, humidity, and wind speed;

[0078] Get the real-time inlet temperature, outlet temperature and water flow of circulating cooling water.

[0079] In the method of the present invention, the acquisition of real-time meteorological parameters is achieved by collecting data from meteorological sensors installed near the indirect air cooling tower. These sensors can accurately measure at least one of the following meteorological parameters:

[0080] Temperature: Monitor the temperature of the ambient air in real time through the temperature sensor;

[0081] Humidity: The relative humidity of the air is obtained through the humidity sensor. Humidity will affect the evaporative cooling effect of the cooling tower;

[0082] Wind speed: The air flow speed is measured by the wind speed sensor. The change of wind speed will directly affect the heat dissipation capacity of the cooling tower.

[0083] Get real-time parameters of circulating cooling water:

[0084] The real-time parameters of circulating cooling water include inlet temperature, outlet temperature and water flow. The inlet and outlet temperatures of cooling water can be monitored in real time by installing temperature sensors on the circulating cooling water pipeline. These data are used to calculate the heat exchange capacity of the cooling tower.

[0085] The water flow sensor is installed on the circulating cooling water pipeline to measure the real-time flow of cooling water.

[0086] Using the collected data and the thermal performance model of the cooling tower, the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower is calculated;

[0087] Based on the calculation results, the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower is predicted under the current operating conditions; if changes in unit load or meteorological parameters are detected, the system will automatically recalculate the thermal performance to ensure that the cooling tower always operates in the best condition.

[0088] Through the above steps, the present invention can ensure that the indirect air cooling tower can achieve efficient heat exchange under various operating conditions, thereby accurately controlling the water temperature out of the tower, improving energy utilization efficiency, and extending the service life of the equipment.

Figure 3 As shown, the initial shutter opening is a hypothetical value, which can be set from a maximum value or a minimum value, such as 100% or 0%, or set according to an empirical value, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0092] The unit load, meteorological parameters and circulating cooling water volume are obtained in real time, and a shutter opening is assumed. According to the unit efficiency and unit load, the condenser heat load can be obtained.

[0093] Step 202, based on the condenser heat load and the circulating cooling water volume, calculate the inlet and outlet water temperature difference of the cooling tower.

[0094] According to the amount of circulating cooling water, the temperature difference between the water entering and leaving the cooling tower can be obtained. For the specific calculation method, please refer to any implementation method in the prior art, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described one by one here.

[0095] Step 203, performing iterative thermal calculation according to the preset headwind speed and the preset out-tower water temperature until the calculation result of the preset out-tower water temperature converges; wherein, if the calculation result of the preset out-tower water temperature does not converge, resetting the preset out-tower water temperature.

[0099] The temperature rise efficiency η of air refers to the ratio of the actual heat dissipation of the air condenser to the maximum heat dissipation, that is:

[0100]

[0101] Where: θ 2 ——Outlet air temperature, °C;

[0102] The average wind speed of the outside air passing through the windward side of the air-cooled radiator is V f Indicates; the number of heat transfer units is defined as the ratio of the temperature change of the fluid with the smaller heat capacity in the fluid to the average temperature difference of heat transfer, and its value is:

[0103]

[0104] Where: K——total heat transfer coefficient, W / (㎡.K); A——total heat transfer area, ㎡; L——air flow, Kg / s; C a ——Specific heat capacity of air, J / (Kg.℃);

[0105] Log mean temperature difference

[0106]

[0107] Where: t 1 ,t 2 ——Water temperature at inlet and outlet, ℃; θ 2 ——Outlet air temperature, °C;

[0108] The thermal characteristics and resistance characteristics of the radiator are related to its own material, type and model. Its thermal resistance characteristics are related to the mass flow rate on the windward surface of the radiator, which are generally given through experiments, as follows:

[0109] (1) Radiator thermal characteristic parameters

[0110]

[0111] Where: K - heat transfer coefficient based on the total heat transfer area of ​​the finned tube, W / (㎡.K); m f ——Mass flow rate on the windward side of the radiator, kg / (㎡.s); A, m——Thermal characteristic parameters of the radiator, obtained by experiment, should be multiplied by the correction factor in the calculation.

[0112] The thermal calculation formula of the indirect air cooling system is as follows:

[0113]

[0114] The gas-water equivalence ratio λ is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] Where: G——air mass flow, kg / s; W——circulating water volume, kg / s; C a ——Specific heat of air at constant pressure, J / (Kg.℃); C w ——Specific heat of water at constant pressure, J / (Kg.℃); t 1 ——Cooling tower water inlet temperature, °C;

[0117] t 2 ——Cooling tower water outlet temperature, ℃.

[0118] Step 204, calculate the suction and resistance of the cooling tower, and determine the headwind speed according to the suction and resistance balance principle.

[0119] Radiator resistance characteristic parameters:

[0120]

[0121] Where: Δp f ——Air resistance through the radiator, Pa; B,n——Test constant;

[0122] The calculation formula of the air cooling tower suction force is as follows:

[0123] DF=H e ×(ρ 1 -ρ 2 )×9.81 (4-9)

The convergence state means that the difference between the suction force and the resistance is less than the preset threshold. When the suction force and the resistance are judged to have converged, the calculated tower water temperature is output.
