Particularly relates to a calculation method for regulating the opening degree of louvers of a wind shielding device for an indirect air-cooled tower. Particularly relates to a calculation method for regulating the opening degree of louvers of a wind shielding device for an indirect air-cooled tower. Background Art

[0002] Indirect air cooling, as a cooling technology for air-cooled towers, its operating mechanism is to transfer the heat of hot water to the heat dissipation tubes on the cooling triangles, and then transfer the heat to the atmosphere through the contact between the heat dissipation tubes and the air. With the continuous expansion of the scale of air-cooled towers, their heat dissipation efficiency is increasingly restricted by atmospheric environmental conditions. In particular, in a strong wind environment, the heat dissipation performance of air-cooled towers shows significant differences. The cooling triangles on the windward side benefit from the increased cold air flow rate, and their heat dissipation capacity is enhanced; while the cooling triangles on the leeward side have their heat dissipation capacity weakened due to the reduced cold air flow rate. This significant difference in heat dissipation capacity between different fan segments affects the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the air-cooled tower.

[0003] The wind speed and wind direction data around the wind shielding device of the indirect cooling tower affect the opening angle of the louvers. By adjusting the opening degree of the louvers of the wind shielding device, the direction of the ambient air flow through the indirect cooling tower can be adjusted, the influence of vortex generation can be reduced, the air intake of the air-cooling system can be increased, and the efficiency of the air-cooling system can be improved. At the same time, through this control method, the input of manpower and material resources can be effectively reduced. However, currently, the regulation of the opening degree of the louvers of the wind shielding device of the indirect cooling tower is mostly based on empirical values, and there is a lack of a calculation method for regulating the opening degree of the louvers of the wind shielding device under different working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a calculation method for regulating the opening degree of louvers of a wind shielding device for an indirect air-cooled tower, solve the problems in the background, realize the calculation of the opening degree of the louvers of the wind shielding device for the indirect cooling tower, reduce the influence of vortex, and improve the efficiency of the air-cooling system.

[0005] To solve the problems in the above-mentioned background art, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows.

[0006] A calculation method for regulating the opening degree of louvers of a wind shielding device for an indirect air-cooled tower, characterized by including the following steps: S1: Obtain environmental meteorological data, wind speed and wind direction data of the louvers of the wind shielding device, wall temperature data of the cooling triangles, wind speed and wind direction data entering the tower, and the opening degree of the louvers of the wind shielding device; S2: Based on the monitored data of the environmental temperature and environmental wind speed, if the environmental temperature is greater than x and the environmental wind speed is between y and z, enter the next step S3, otherwise, open all the louvers of the overall wind shielding device; S3: Based on the wind speed monitoring data of the louver of the windshield device, if the wind speed of the louver of the i-th windshield device is less than z, proceed to the next step S4; otherwise, fully open the louver of the i-th windshield device. S4: Based on the environmental wind direction and the position of the louver of the i-th windshield device, determine whether the louver of the i-th windshield device is on the side wind side or the leeward side. S5: If the louver of the i-th windshield device is on the side wind side, then determine whether it is the front side wind or the back side wind according to the wind direction and position of the louver of the i-th windshield device; then, according to the wind speed of the louver of the i-th windshield device, determine the minimum limit value ka and the maximum limit value kb of the adjustment opening of the louver of the i-th windshield device, and calculate the average wind speed Fia and the average wall temperature Tia of the two adjacent fan segments at the front end of the louver of the i-th windshield device and the average wind speed Fib and the average wall temperature Tib of the two adjacent fan segments at the back end. S6: If the louver of the i-th windshield device is the front side wind, then judge the numerical relationship between Tia and Tib, and between Fia and Fib; if Tia is less than Tib and Fia is greater than Fib, then close the adjustment opening kdi of the louver of the i-th windshield device by step; otherwise, open kdi by step, and limit the value of kdi to be between ka and kb. S7: If the louver of the i-th windshield device is the back side wind, then judge the numerical relationship between Tia and Tib, and between Fia and Fib; if Tia is greater than Tib and Fia is less than Fib, then close kdi by step; otherwise, open kdi by step, and limit the value of kdi to be between ka and kb. S8: If the louver of the i-th windshield device is on the leeward side, set the minimum limit value kc and the maximum limit value kd of the adjustment opening of the louver of the i-th windshield device, and calculate the absolute value of the difference in the incoming tower wind direction between the adjacent fan segments before and after the position of the louver of the i-th windshield device; if the absolute value is greater than k, then open kdi by step; otherwise, close kdi by step, and limit the value of kdi to be between kc and kd. S9: Output the adjustment opening of the louver of the i-th windshield device, and return to step S3 to calculate the adjustment opening of the louver of the (i + 1)-th windshield device until the calculation of the adjustment opening of the louvers of the overall windshield device is completed.

[0007] The louver of the windshield device adopts a combined control method to realize the real-time control of the louvers of each windshield device under different working conditions.

[0008] The calculation of the adjustment opening of the louver of the windshield device realizes the balance of the air intake of the front and rear fan segments of the louver of the windshield device by comprehensively considering the average wind speed Fia and the average wall temperature Tia of the two adjacent fan segments at the front end of the louver of the windshield device and the average wind speed Fib and the average wall temperature Tib of the two adjacent fan segments at the back end, and the incoming tower wind direction of the adjacent fan areas before and after the position of the louver of the windshield device, reduces the influence of eddy currents, and thus improves the efficiency of the air-cooling system.

[0009] The values of x, y, z, k, ka, kb, kc, kd, and step can be set manually according to actual requirements. Among them, kd can be set up to 80% at most to ensure that when the porosity before and after is too large, the control self-circulation under high wind speed is reduced.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Based on environmental meteorological data, wind speed and direction data of the windshield device louvers, cooling triangle wall temperature data, inlet tower wind speed and direction data, and the opening degree of the windshield device louvers, this calculation method adopts a combined control method to calculate and regulate the windshield device louvers, so that the fan segments near the windshield device louvers achieve an air intake balance, thereby improving the efficiency of the air-cooled system and providing a theoretical basis for the implementation of actual projects.

S2: The ambient temperature is 26.7 °C, the ambient wind speed is 5.16 m / s, the ambient temperature is greater than x = 26 °C and the ambient wind speed is between y = 4 m / s and z = 12 m / s, proceed to the next step S3; S3: The wind speed of the louver of the No. 1 wind deflector is 3.51 m / s, which is less than z = 12 m / s, proceed to the next step S4; S4: The ambient wind direction is 115.13°.
