Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cooling towers, and in particular relates to a natural ventilation wet cooling tower coupled with rain area droplet suppression and air inlet flow field optimization. Background Art
[0002] As the main cold-end equipment of the power plant, the natural ventilation wet cooling tower has a significant impact on the operating status of the entire unit. During the operation of the tower, the cooling water is in direct contact with the air, and due to the influence of the environmental side wind, there will be a phenomenon of floating drops at the air inlet of the cooling tower, which will blow out the cooling water droplets falling in the rain area and fall on the outside of the water collection tank, causing the loss of cooling water, thereby reducing the cooling performance of the cooling tower; at the same time, due to various dosing treatments of the cooling water during the operation of the cooling tower, it has a certain degree of corrosiveness, causing pollution to the land around the tower; when the cooling water is seawater, the salt content of the seawater is too high, causing salinization and other phenomena at the place where the floating drops fall in the rain area. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, a natural ventilation wet cooling tower which couples rain drop suppression and air inlet flow field optimization is provided.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a naturally ventilated wet cooling tower that couples rain zone droplet suppression and inlet flow field optimization, including a cooling tower and a rain zone droplet suppression device, characterized in that: the cooling tower is a naturally ventilated wet cooling tower, including a tower body, an air inlet, filler, a rain zone and a water collection tank; the rain zone droplet suppression device includes a circumferential wind control device and a top wind control device, which are arranged in the side wind section around the tower outside the air inlet; when the ambient wind blows through the side wind area of the cooling tower, the circumferential through-wind in the side wind area of the cooling tower is turned into the tower through the synergistic effect of the rain zone droplet suppression device, thereby suppressing the ambient wind from blowing droplets in the rain zone of the side wind area of the cooling tower out of the air inlet, reducing the wind blowing loss in the rain zone, and increasing the radial effective air intake of the cooling tower.
[0005] The tower body of the natural ventilation wet cooling tower is a hyperbolic structure; the air inlet is between the lowest part of the hyperbolic structure of the tower body and the water collecting tank; the filler is located inside the tower body, a certain distance above the air inlet; the rain zone is located directly below the filler and directly above the water collecting tank, and the area inside the air inlet is a vacant area or has a cross windbreak wall therein, and the radius of the rain zone is Ry; the water collecting tank is located directly below the rain zone, and the radius of the water collecting tank is Rs.
[0006] The height of the circumferential wind control device is H, and the height of the cooling tower air inlet is Hj; the height of the circumferential wind control device is H .
[0007] The inner and outer spacing of the wind control and anti-drift plates along the tower radial direction is Wd, and 0.5m ≤ Wd ≤ 6.0m.
[0008] The drift distance of the raindrops in the rain area under the design ambient wind speed vs of the cooling tower is Lpd, which is the product of the falling time t of the raindrops in the rain area and the design ambient wind speed vs; the adjacent spacing of the wind control and anti-drift plates is Kd. When the design ambient wind speed vs≥5m / s, .
[0009] The structure of the wind control and anti-drift plate is a flat plate structure, which can turn the circumferential through-wind in the side wind area of the cooling tower into the tower.
[0010] Furthermore, the structure of the wind control and anti-drift plate can also be one or more of a flat plate, a corrugated plate or an arc plate structure, and can be arranged and combined in layers vertically, radially or in any direction.
[0011] Furthermore, the wind control and anti-drift plate may also be provided with a ventilation and vortex elimination area; the ventilation and vortex elimination area is ventilation-permeable and effectively reduces the lateral vortex in the flow channel, reduces the wind intake resistance, increases the radial air intake volume of the cooling tower, and optimizes the uniformity and stability of the wind intake flow field; the ventilation and vortex elimination area is arranged on the wind control and anti-drift plate, and its opening rate is 0% ≤ η ≤100%.
[0012] The top wind control device has an outer end overlapped with the top of the circumferential wind control device, and an inner end connected to the outer wall of the tower body, and is an annular flat plate structure arranged around the tower; the inner end of the top wind control device is .
[0013] Furthermore, the rain area droplet suppression device can also be arranged in the non-side wind section around the cooling tower air inlet to adapt to changes in ambient wind direction.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the rain zone droplet suppression device includes a circumferential wind control device and a top wind control device composed of wind control and anti-drift plates. When the ambient side wind flows through the rain zone droplet suppression device, the flow direction of the ambient side wind is changed from side wind to along the radial direction of the cooling tower, thereby reducing the direct effect of the ambient side wind on the rain zone and suppressing the amount of droplets in the rain zone; further, the wind control and anti-drift plates are provided with a ventilation and vortex elimination area, which can reduce the lateral vortex in the flow channel between the two wind control and anti-drift plates, thereby reducing the wind intake resistance, increasing the effective air intake along the radial direction of the cooling tower, further suppressing droplets in the rain zone, and optimizing the uniformity and stability of the air intake flow field; and reducing the windblown loss of cooling water and the pollution of the land around the tower.
