[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0021] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a method for improving the cooling effect of waste heat power generation includes: S1. A cooling tower 1 is set according to the need of liquid flow, and a fan 2 is set on the upper part of the cooling tower 1; the fan 2 is turned on, and the fan 2 absorbs the gas in the cooling tower 1, and the hot gas in the cooling tower 1 is discharged through the fan 2.
[0023] S2. Spray hot circulating liquid in the cooling tower 1. The hot circulating liquid comes from the waste heat power generation system. The cooling tower 1 is connected to the waste heat power generation system. The waste heat power generation system generates heat when generating electricity, and needs to have a coolant circulation to cool down. Otherwise, the waste heat power generation system will produce abnormal conditions. The hot circulating liquid is sprayed downward in an atomized state. A water collector 3 is arranged above the spraying area. Because the fan 2 is absorbing the gas from the cooling tower 1, a small amount of high-temperature atomized hot circulating liquid drifts upward with the gas. In order to reduce the loss of water in the gas, the air intake end of the fan is aligned with the air outlet end of the water collector, so that the gas with the atomized hot circulating liquid will pass through the water collector.
[0024] As more and more atomized hot circulating liquid is added, the gas in the cooling tower 1 is filled with more and more water to form water vapor. When the water vapor passes through the water collector, part of the water in the water vapor stays in the water collector. After the water is blocked in the water collector, cold circulating liquid is formed and the water flows downward from the water collector. The cold circulating liquid is collected at the bottom of the cooling tower 1.
[0025] S3. An S-shaped filler 4 is arranged in the cooling tower 1. The S-shaped filler 4 is located below the spraying area. The atomized heat circulating liquid falls downward onto the S-shaped filler 4. The surface of the S-shaped filler 4 has a curved surface. A plurality of through holes 11 are arranged on the S-shaped filler 4. The plurality of through holes 11 penetrate the upper and lower ends of the S-shaped filler. The heat circulating liquid passes through the S-shaped filler 4. The atomized heat circulating liquid falls onto the surface of the S-shaped filler 4 and accumulates into liquid. The heat circulating liquid flows downward along the through holes 11. The heat circulating liquid will not completely fill the through holes 11, so that gas flows from bottom to top in the through holes 11.
[0026] S4. An air inlet 5 is provided on the wall of the cooling tower 1. The air inlet 5 is located below the S-shaped filler 4. The air inlet 5 is used for gas to enter the cooling tower 1. When the fan 2 is turned on, the fan 2 absorbs hot air from the top of the cooling tower 1 and discharges the hot air. In this way, the gas in the cooling tower 1 flows from top to top. Cold air enters the cooling tower 1 from the air inlet 5. The cold air passes through the through hole 11 upward. In this way, the heat circulating liquid and the cold air realize heat exchange in the through hole 11. After the cold air absorbs heat, hot air is formed and flows upward. The hot air contains moisture. When the hot air passes through the water collector 3, the moisture part of the hot air will stay in the water collector 3. After the moisture is blocked, liquid is formed and finally flows downward to the S-shaped filler 4.
[0027] An air regulating plate 10 is rotatably provided at the air inlet 5. By rotating the air regulating plate 10, the air volume at the air inlet 5 can be adjusted. The rotation angle of the air regulating plate 10 is adjusted according to the cooling requirement of the heat circulation liquid.
[0028] S5. Collect cold circulating liquid at the bottom of the cooling tower 1. The cold circulating liquid is used to supply heat to the waste heat power generation system. The temperature of the cold circulating liquid is low. The cold circulating liquid is connected to the waste heat power generation system through a pipeline. After passing through the waste heat power generation system, the temperature of the cold circulating liquid increases to form a hot circulating liquid, which is then connected to the upper part of the cooling tower 1 through a pipeline.
[0029] In S1, a wind duct 6 is provided on the cooling tower 1, and the fan 2 is located in the wind duct 6. The wind duct 6 guides the hot air discharged by the fan 2 to a higher position, so that the discharged hot air rises to a higher position, which has a protective effect on the environment.
[0030] In S1, the wind duct 6 is made of fiberglass, the wind duct 6 has a curved surface, and the outer wall of the wind duct 6 is provided with reinforcing ribs 7. The wind duct 6 made of fiberglass has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, and good thermal performance. The light weight is suitable for the wind duct 6 to be set at the top, so that the wind duct 6 reduces the pressure on the cooling tower 1, because the wind duct 6 is set in the natural environment, especially in this case in the industrial area, the industrial area has corrosive gases, so the corrosion resistance can make the wind duct 6 not easily damaged, and the good thermal performance means that the wind duct 6 is made of insulating material, which has a protective effect on the operation of on-site workers.
[0031] Usually, the position of the wind tube 6 is high, and the wind tube 6 may encounter stormy weather. In order to prevent the wind tube 6 from shaking and effectively guide the gas, the reinforcing rib 7 has a fixing effect on the wind tube 6. The reinforcing rib 7 is a hollow strip shape, so that the reinforcing rib 7 fits better on the outer wall of the wind tube 6. The reinforcing rib 7 is more easily matched with the curved body on the wind tube 6. The wind tube 6 has a curved body, so when there is a strong wind, the gas is more likely to flow away from the outer wall of the wind tube 6. The wind tube 6 has a curved body, which helps the gas circulation.
[0032] In S2, the water collector 3 includes a plurality of water collecting sheets 8, and the plurality of water collecting sheets 8 are connected together at intervals, that is, there is a gap 12 between adjacent water collecting sheets 8, and the water collecting sheets 8 are bent in multiple directions, so that the gap 12 is bent. In the process of gas rising, the moisture in the gas will be blocked on the adjacent water collecting sheets 8. As more and more moisture is blocked on the water collecting sheets 8, it accumulates into liquid and drips downward, and finally falls on the S-shaped filler 4.
[0033] In S2, a plurality of nozzles 9 are arranged in the cooling tower 1, the plurality of nozzles 9 are located in the spraying area, the nozzles 9 are externally connected to the heat circulation liquid, the plurality of nozzles 9 are arranged on the pipeline, the pipeline is connected to the waste heat power generation system, the nozzles 9 spray out the atomized heat circulation liquid, the nozzles 9 are used to spray the heat circulation liquid onto the S-shaped filler 4, and the atomized heat circulation liquid falls on the S-shaped filler 4.
[0034] In S3, the surface of the S-shaped filler 4 is uneven, and the uneven surface of the S-shaped filler 4 can accumulate the heat circulation liquid, which is also beneficial to the flow of the heat circulation liquid. A plurality of curved through holes 11 are arranged on the S-shaped filler 4, and the through holes 11 are used for the heat circulation liquid to flow downward and the gas to flow upward. Because the through holes 11 are curved, the heat circulation liquid and the gas flow in the through holes 11 for a long time, which is beneficial to the heat exchange between the heat circulation liquid and the gas. In this example, the gas is cold air, that is, the gas whose temperature is lower than the temperature of the heat circulation liquid.
[0035] In this example, the S-shaped filler 4 is arranged in three layers in the vertical direction, so that after multiple layers of heat exchange, the temperature of the heat circulating liquid will drop lower.
[0036] In S3 , the outer periphery of the S-shaped filler 4 fits the inner wall of the cooling tower 1 , that is, the interior of the cooling tower 1 is divided into two upper and lower areas by the S-shaped filler 4 , and the heat circulation liquid and gas can only flow through the through hole 11 .
[0037] A device for improving the cooling effect of waste heat power generation, comprising a cooling tower 1, a fan 2, an S-shaped filler 4 and an air inlet 5, wherein the upper portion of the cooling tower 1 is externally connected to a water supply pipe 14, and the waste heat power generation system provides hot circulating liquid to the upper portion of the cooling tower 1 through a pipeline, and the bottom of the cooling tower 1 is used for externally connecting to a return water pipe 15, and the bottom of the cooling tower 1 is provided with a collecting chamber 13, and the collecting chamber 13 is used for collecting cold circulating liquid, and the bottom of the cooling tower 1 then provides cold circulating liquid to the waste heat power generation system through a pipeline, and the cold circulating liquid is used for heat dissipation of the waste heat power generation system.
[0038] The fan 2 is arranged at the top of the cooling tower 1, the air intake end of the fan 2 is aimed at the inside of the cooling tower 1, and the air outlet end of the fan 2 is aimed at the outside of the cooling tower 1. The S-shaped filler 4 is arranged in the middle of the cooling tower 1, and the nozzle 9 is arranged on the water supply pipe 14. The nozzle 9 is located above the S-shaped filler 4. The nozzle 9 sprays out atomized hot circulating liquid. A curved through hole 11 is arranged in the S-shaped filler 4, and the through hole 11 runs through the upper and lower ends of the S-shaped filler 4. In this way, the hot circulating liquid sprayed out falls on the S-shaped filler 4. The surface of the S-shaped filler 4 is uneven and has a curved surface. The air inlet 5 is arranged at the lower part of the cooling tower 1, and the normal temperature gas can enter the bottom of the cooling tower 1 through the air inlet 5. The normal temperature gas here is cold air with a temperature lower than that of the hot circulating liquid.
[0039] The S-shaped filler 4 has a plurality of through holes 11. When the fan 2 is turned on and aimed at the inside of the cooling tower 1 to inhale air, the cold air will flow from bottom to top. The cold air passes through the surface of the S-shaped filler 4 and the through holes 11. The heat circulating liquid realizes heat exchange on the surface of the S-shaped filler 4. The heat circulating liquid dissipates heat from the inside of the cooling tower 1 in the form of atomization. After the heat circulating liquid is atomized, it falls on the S-shaped filler 4 and slowly accumulates into liquid again. In this way, the heat circulating liquid flows downward through the surface of the S-shaped filler after cooling, or flows downward through the through holes 11 after cooling. The heat circulating liquid will not completely fill the through holes 11 after cooling, and heat exchange is realized in the through holes 11 with the upward cold air and the downward heat circulating liquid after cooling.
[0040] The curved through hole 11 can increase the heat exchange time between the cooled heat circulating liquid and the cold air, so that the cooled heat circulating liquid can be cooled again more fully.
[0041] The spraying direction of the nozzle 9 points to the S-shaped filler 4. A water collector 3 is arranged above the nozzle 9. After the thermal circulation liquid is atomized, part of it rises with the airflow. The airflow contains enough atomized thermal circulation liquid. When the airflow passes through the water collector 3, part of the liquid in the airflow will stay in the water collector 3. The water collector 3 blocks the water mist from rising, and the accumulated liquid falls down onto the S-shaped filler 4.
[0042] The air inlet 5 is located below the S-shaped filler 4. An air regulating plate 10 is rotatably provided at the air inlet 5. The air regulating plate 10 adjusts its angle with the air inlet direction by rotating. By rotating the air regulating plate 10, the air regulating plate 10 can block or release the gas flow. The air inlet 5 can be blocked or opened at a rotating angle. Rotating the air regulating plate 10 can adjust the gas flow at the air inlet 5 to cooperate with thermal cycle liquid cooling.
[0043] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
