Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water circulation cooling, in particular to a white smoke prevention cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] Conventional water circulation cooling devices include a cooling tower, an exhaust device, a spray device, a packing, and a water storage tank. The exhaust device is located at the top of the cooling tower, and the spray device is located below the exhaust device. The spray device includes a horizontally arranged spray pipe and a plurality of nozzles mounted on the spray pipe. The packing is located within the cooling tower and below the spray device. The water storage tank is also located within the cooling tower and below the packing. During use, cooling water from the air conditioning equipment of the central air conditioning system flows into the spray pipe and is sprayed downwardly into the packing through the nozzles of the spray pipe. At this time, the cooling water sprayed through the packing forms a heat exchange with the cold air flowing through the packing, and after being cooled, it flows into the water storage tank and then flows back through the water storage tank to the air conditioning equipment of the central air conditioning system.

[0003] Circulating water cooling occurs through contact between water and air, resulting in three processes: evaporative heat dissipation, contact heat dissipation, and radiative heat dissipation. Evaporative heat dissipation occurs when water forms large and small droplets or a very thin film within the cooling equipment, increasing its contact area with the air and prolonging its contact time, thereby enhancing evaporation. This allows the water vapor to remove the heat required for vaporization, thereby cooling the water. Contact heat dissipation occurs when water comes into contact with cooler air. Due to the temperature difference, the heat in the hot water is transferred to the air, lowering the water temperature. Radiative heat dissipation occurs when heat energy is transmitted through electromagnetic waves, without the need for a heat transfer medium.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned evaporative heat dissipation method transports hot water to the packing layer through a water circulation pipe, so that the hot water falls on the packing layer and then disperses and falls. At the same time, a fan is installed at the top of the cooling tower body, and an air inlet is set on the side wall of the cooling tower body where the packing layer is located. External cold air is sucked in and passes through the packing layer to exchange heat and mass with the water. When the air is discharged from the top of the cooling tower body, it will carry away a large amount of water, forming water mist outside the cooling tower. The discharged water mist will be seen as "white smoke" under low ambient temperature. "White smoke" not only increases the humidity outside the cooling tower, but also wastes water resources. Summary of the Invention
