Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of cooling towers, in particular to a cooling tower water-saving operation method and device and a readable storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] The cooling tower is a key equipment for industrial water, and 70% of the industrial water is cooling water, and 80% of the heat of the industrial water is taken away by the cooling tower evaporation, so the development of high-efficiency water-saving cooling towers is committed at home and abroad.
[0003] The condensing module type cooling tower is a water-saving type cooling tower, and the cooling tower comprises a wind pipe, a fan, a condensing module, a water distribution system and water spraying filler. The cooling tower comprises two air inlet regions: a first air inlet located in the condensing module region, and a second air inlet located in the region below the water spraying filler.
[0004] The inventor found that when the cooling tower is running, the louver at the first air inlet is closed when the temperature is high in summer, air enters from the second air inlet, and after heat exchange through the filler, all the air is discharged from the outlet of the wind pipe. When the ambient temperature is low in spring, autumn and winter, the louver at the first air inlet is opened, and air enters the cooling tower from the first air inlet and the second air inlet. The air after heat exchange through the water spraying filler becomes saturated high-temperature air and enters the hot channel of the condensing module, and the cold air entering from the first air inlet enters the cold channel of the condensing module. The cold channel and the hot channel are respectively on both sides of the condensing module sheet, so that the cold air cools the saturated high-temperature air in the condensing module, and water is condensed during the cooling process to achieve the purpose of water saving. The cooling tower with the above structure is applied in areas where water resources are scarce in China, and the water saving effect is more important.
[0005] The inventor found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art: the cooling tower is operated by opening the first air inlet for water saving in spring, autumn and winter when the temperature is relatively low. Because the temperature difference between spring, autumn and winter in China is large, the cooling tower can only adopt the operation mode, and the working mode is single, and the maximum water saving operation effect cannot be achieved.

[0107] The inventor found through research that the air intake of the cooling tower is related to the water saving effect, and by adjusting the opening degree of the first air inlet and the second air inlet of the cooling tower, the cooling effect and the water saving effect can be effectively balanced. Therefore, the following technical solutions are proposed.
[0108] Referring to Figure 1 , the cooling tower water saving operation device includes a cooling tower 1, a weather station 2, and a control system 3. The cooling tower 1 includes a first air inlet 11, a second air inlet 12, a first louver 13, a second louver 14, a water inlet pipe 15, and a water temperature detection element 16. The first louver 13 is installed at the first air inlet 11, the second louver 14 is installed at the second air inlet 12, and the water temperature detection element 16 is installed at the water inlet pipe 15 to detect the water temperature of the water inlet pipe 15. The weather station 2 is installed near the cooling tower 1. The control system 3 is drivingly connected with the first louver 13 and / or the second louver 14 to adjust the opening degree of the first louver 13 and / or the second louver 14 according to the first cooling number and the second cooling number. The calculation method of the first cooling number and the second cooling number is described below. When the first cooling number and the second cooling number are equal, it means that the required heat exchange effect and the opening degree relationship of the first louver 13 and the second louver 14 under the current state of the cooling tower meet the heat exchange requirement.
[0109] The cooling tower 1 is a condensation module type cooling tower, which belongs to a water-saving type cooling tower. The cooling tower 1 comprises a tower body 10, a wind pipe 19 located at the top of the tower body 10, a fan 110 located inside the wind pipe 19 and at the top of the tower body 10, a fan driving component 111 for driving the fan 110, and a water pool 115 located at the bottom of the tower body 10. From top to bottom, the inner wall of the tower body 10 is provided with a condensation module 17, a water collector 112, a spray head 113, and a filler 18. The wall of the tower body 10 is provided with two groups of air inlets, i.e., a first air inlet 11 and a second air inlet 12. The first air inlet 11 is located higher than the second air inlet 12. The first air inlet 11 is provided with a first louver 13, and the second air inlet 12 is provided with a second louver 14. The first air inlet 11 is located above the second air inlet 12. The first air inlet 11 corresponds to the condensation module 17, and is located lower than the condensation module 17. The second air inlet 12 corresponds to the filler 18, and is located lower than the filler 18. The water pool 115 is located lower than the second air inlet 12. The water inlet pipe 15 of the water pool 115 is provided with an ultrasonic flow meter 114 for detecting the real-time water inlet flow. The water inlet pipe 15 of the water pool 115 is also provided with a water temperature detection element 16 for detecting the real-time water inlet temperature .
[0110] In some embodiments, the cooling tower 1 further comprises a condensation module 17, which comprises a first flow channel (not shown in the figure) and a second flow channel (not shown in the figure) that can exchange heat. The first flow channel communicates with the first air inlet 11, and the second flow channel communicates with the second air inlet 12. The arrangement positions of the first flow channel and the second flow channel meet the following requirements: the fluid in the first flow channel and the fluid in the second flow channel exchange heat.
[0111] The condensation module 17 is used to realize the heat exchange of two fluids, and comprises a first flow channel and a second flow channel that can exchange heat with each other. The first fluid is the air flow entering from the first air inlet 11, and the temperature of the air flow is the same as the ambient temperature. The fluid enters the first flow channel. The second fluid is the air flow entering from the second air inlet 12 under the driving of the fan 110. The air flow flows upward in the cooling tower 1, exchanges heat with the filler 18, becomes a high-temperature fluid, and reaches the second flow channel of the condensation module 17. The low-temperature fluid in the first flow channel and the high-temperature fluid in the second flow channel exchange heat, so as to condense the water in the high-temperature fluid in the second flow channel, reduce the water flowing out of the cooling tower 1, and realize water saving of the cooling tower 1.
[0112] Continuing to refer to Figure 1The weather station 2 is arranged near the cooling tower 1, about 20-50 m away. For a region with a specific main wind direction, the weather station 2 can be arranged upwind of the cooling tower 1. The weather station 2 is used to detect environmental parameters and send them to the control system 3. Through the weather station 2, atmospheric state parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure, and weather phenomenon parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation can be obtained in real time.
[0113] The control system 3 controls the opening degree of the first and second louvers 13 and 14 according to the required heat exchange effect. The control system 3 can include two separate motors, one of which controls the opening degree of the first louver 13, and the other of which controls the opening degree of the second louver 14. The two fans are controlled and driven independently, which is more accurate, convenient, and efficient.
[0114] The opening degree of the first louver 13 determines the flow rate of the low-temperature fluid entering the condensing module 17. The greater the opening degree of the first louver 13, the more low-temperature fluid enters the condensing module 17, and the better the heat exchange effect. However, in seasons with low temperatures, such as winter, spring, and autumn, a large amount of low-temperature fluid is not needed. In seasons with high temperatures, such as summer, sufficient low-temperature fluid is needed. The opening degree of the first louver 13 is different in different seasons.
[0115] The opening degree of the second louver 14 determines the flow rate of the fluid entering the cooling tower 1, which is heated to a high-temperature fluid after passing through the filler 18. The more fluid that enters through the second louver 14, the more water is carried away by the filler 18, and the more water is lost by the entire cooling tower 1. At the same time, the second fluid also cools the sprayed water. If too little fluid enters through the second air inlet 12, the cooling effect on the sprayed water may be poor, which can cause the water temperature to be too high when it flows out of the cooling tower 1, and the cooling effect of the cooling tower 1 to be compromised. Therefore, the opening degree of the second louver 14 also needs to be appropriate. The opening degree of the second louver 14 is different in different seasons.
[0116] As can be seen, the opening degrees of the first and second louvers 13 and 14 need to be set according to the heat exchange demand and water saving effect.
[0117] In some embodiments, the following cooling tower water saving operation method is used to balance the cooling demand and water saving demand of the cooling tower 1.
[0118] Before the method is run, the required parameters are obtained: inlet air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, inlet water temperature, target water temperature, and water flow rate. In addition, the air flow rate at the second air inlet 12 needs to be measured in real time. Then, the following steps are followed for control:
[0119] Step S100, establish the database of the corresponding relationship of the air flow at the filler 18 of the cooling tower 1, the wind speed at the filler, and the first cooling number under different opening degrees of the first louvers 13 and the second louvers 14. The first louvers 13 are configured to provide the first air flow to the condensing module 17 of the cooling tower 1, the second louvers 14 are configured to provide the second air flow to the condensing module 17 of the cooling tower 1, and the first air flow and the second air flow exchange heat; the second air flow is configured to cool the water in the cooling tower 1 before exchanging heat with the first air flow. In this paper, the cooling number in the first cooling number and the second cooling number is a dimensionless number derived from the heat and mass exchange theory between the water and the air in the cooling tower. It reflects the mass transfer and heat transfer capacity required to cool the hot water to a given temperature under a specific working condition of the cooling tower.
[0120] For a cooling tower 1, step S100 can be completed in advance, and the resulting data is stored in the database. When the first louvers 13 and the second louvers 14 need to be controlled, the data in the database can be queried as needed.
[0121] In the above step S100, the first cooling number The following formula is used for calculation:
[0122]
[0123] Wherein, is the first cooling number; is the first air-water ratio; is a test constant; is a test constant. A series of can be calculated by taking different values. The values of and the corresponding relationship of can be stored in the database.
[0124] Specifically, the first air-water ratio is calculated using the following formula:
[0125]
[0126] Wherein, is the first air-water ratio; is the wind speed at the filler; is the dry air density; is the water density. The above formula can be used to calculate the first air-water ratio .
[0127] Specifically, the wind speed at the filler is calculated using the following formula:
[0128]
[0129] wherein, is the wind speed at the filler; is the area ventilation of the second louvers 14; is the cross-sectional area of the filler 18 region, which is a known quantity. For a cooling tower 1 of a certain model, the structure and size of the filler 18 installed thereon are determined, so this parameter is a known quantity.
[0130] Specifically, the area ventilation of the second louvers 14 is calculated using the following formula:
[0131]
[0132] wherein, is the area ventilation of the second louvers 14; is the airflow flow rate of the second louvers 14, is the ventilation area of the second louvers 14. It is to be noted that the area ventilation of the second louvers 14 refers to the ventilation of the entire region of the second louvers 14. If the second louvers 14 are divided into multiple sub-regions, the sum of the ventilation of all the sub-regions is the area ventilation of the second louvers 14 .
[0133] The airflow flow rate of the second louvers 14 is obtained using the following method:
[0134] First, multiple wind speed detection elements 116 are arranged at the position of the second louvers 14 at uniform intervals. The wind speed detection elements 116 are specifically, for example, an impeller anemometer, with an instrument accuracy of 0.1 m / s. Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing that the wind speed detection elements 116 are uniformly arranged at the second air inlet 12 is shown. When the second louvers 14 are at different opening degrees, the wind speed values detected by each wind speed detection element 116 are different.
[0135] Second, according to the wind speed values detected by each wind speed detection element 116, the average wind speed is calculated, and the average wind speed is taken as the airflow flow rate of the second louvers 14 .
[0136] Next, how to calculate the dry air density is introduced. The dry air density is calculated using the following formula:
[0137]
[0138] wherein, is the dry air density; is the pressure corresponding to the dry air; Tin is the dry bulb temperature of the air entering the tower, and is a measured value; R is the gas constant for dry air. By using the above equation, the density of dry air can be accurately calculated .
[0139] The density of air is equal to the density of dry air plus the partial pressure of water vapor in the air. The partial pressure of water vapor in the air is equal to the pressure of water vapor in the wet air divided by a set value, which is equal to the product of the gas constant for water vapor and a set temperature value. The set temperature value is equal to the dry bulb temperature of the ambient air plus a constant, which is equal to 273.15.
[0140] The pressure of dry air is calculated using the following equation :
[0141]
[0142] where, Pdry is the pressure of dry air; P is the atmospheric pressure, which is a known quantity; Pwet is the pressure of water vapor in the wet air.
[0143] The pressure of water vapor in the wet air is calculated using the following equation :
[0144]
[0145] where, Pwet is the pressure of water vapor in the wet air; Rh is the relative humidity of the air entering the tower; Psat is the saturation vapor pressure corresponding to the wet bulb temperature of the air entering the tower.
[0146] The saturation vapor pressure corresponding to the wet bulb temperature of the air entering the tower is calculated using the following equation :
[0147]
[0148] where, Psat is the saturation vapor pressure corresponding to the wet bulb temperature of the air entering the tower; Tw is the wet bulb temperature of the air entering the tower, which is a measured value.
[0149] The following describes how to calculate the water spray density . The water spray density is calculated using the following equation :
[0150]
