Especially in winter, the spray cooling tower can only maintain the circulating air intake state. Under this working condition, after the circulating air in the spray cooling tower undergoes heat exchange, the output air temperature is still relatively high.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the second air inlet module includes: a second bag filter 10, a second outlet air temperature sensor 11, a second centrifugal fan 12, a fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13, a fifth pneumatic butterfly valve 14, a sixth pneumatic butterfly valve 16, a second heat exchanger 15, a second primary filter 17, and a second inlet air temperature sensor 18.

[0057] Specifically, a first air inlet module and a second air inlet module that are axisymmetric about the center of the spray cooling tower 20 are provided. Compared with the traditional single-cycle air inlet mode, in winter, the working states of the two air inlet modules can be flexibly controlled, and the outside low-temperature air can be used for cooling, improving the flexibility of the air inlet. The first primary filter 8 can perform multi-stage filtration on the inlet air, effectively removing pollutants such as dust and impurities in the air, improving the cleanliness of the air entering the spray cooling tower 20, reducing the erosion of the interior of the spray cooling tower 20 by pollutants, and extending the service life of the spray cooling tower 20. Under the action of the control module, the air inlet condition can be reasonably adjusted according to the actual working conditions, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the spray cooling tower 20, thereby effectively reducing the production energy consumption and reducing the dependence on refrigeration equipment such as chillers. The first air inlet module and the second air inlet module are symmetrically distributed, making the force on the spray cooling tower 20 uniform, reducing problems such as equipment vibration caused by uneven air inlet, and ensuring the stable operation of the spray cooling tower 20. Under the action of the control module, each component cooperates with each other, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the air inlet control system of the spray cooling tower, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of industrial production.

[0058] Specifically, the first primary filter 8 and the second primary filter 17 adopted in the present invention are from Yantai Baoyuan Purification Co., Ltd. The G4 grade counting efficiency E≥90%, the initial resistance: 50Pa, the final resistance: 300Pa, and the treatment capacity is 12000m 3 / h.

[0059] The equipment manufacturers of the first pneumatic butterfly valve 4, the second pneumatic butterfly valve 5, the third pneumatic butterfly valve 7, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13, the fifth pneumatic butterfly valve 14, and the sixth pneumatic butterfly valve 16 are Shanghai Zhenghu Valve Co., Ltd. The model is QD641WX-1P, the nominal diameter is 500mm, and the applicable temperature ≤200°C.

[0060] The equipment manufacturers of the first air outlet temperature sensor 2, the first air inlet temperature sensor 9, the second air outlet temperature sensor 11, and the second air inlet temperature sensor 18 are: Shanghai Honglang Automation Instrument Co., Ltd., model: WZPB-200NJL, output signal: 4-20ma, accuracy: 0.2%, temperature range: -50-100°C, insertion depth: 200mm.

[0061] Specifically, the first pneumatic butterfly valve 4, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13, the first primary filter 8, and the second primary filter 17 can be connected to the atmospheric environment.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, for the air inlet control system of the spray cooling tower, it further includes: a control module, connected to the first centrifugal fan 3, the second centrifugal fan 12, the first pneumatic butterfly valve 4, the second pneumatic butterfly valve 5, the third pneumatic butterfly valve 7, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13, the fifth pneumatic butterfly valve 14, and the sixth pneumatic butterfly valve 16. The control module includes an acquisition unit, a control unit, and an adjustment unit. The acquisition unit is configured to determine the acquisition area based on the spray cooling tower 20 and determine the target ambient temperature according to the acquisition area. The control unit is configured to control the opening and closing of the first pneumatic butterfly valve 4, the second pneumatic butterfly valve 5, the third pneumatic butterfly valve 7, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13, the fifth pneumatic butterfly valve 14, and the sixth pneumatic butterfly valve 16 according to the target ambient temperature, determine the butterfly valve opening based on the target ambient temperature, determine the predicted fan speed according to the butterfly valve opening and the speed model, and compare the predicted fan speed with the historical data. Determine whether to adjust the predicted fan speed according to the comparison result. The adjustment unit is configured to determine the speed adjustment factor based on the historical data and adjust the predicted fan speed based on the speed adjustment factor when it is determined to adjust the predicted fan speed.

[0063] Specifically, the acquisition unit determines the acquisition area based on the spray cooling tower 20 and obtains the target ambient temperature. Compared with the single-cycle air intake mode that the spray cooling tower 20 can only perform in winter, the control unit controls the opening and closing and the valve opening of the corresponding pneumatic butterfly valve according to the target ambient temperature, and determines the predicted fan speed. It can directly utilize the outdoor natural wind resources and the material for heat exchange and cooling, without blindly turning on the chiller, effectively reducing the production energy consumption and reducing the energy waste. Moreover, the control unit does not determine the predicted fan speed through the speed model rigidly. The control unit also compares with historical data to judge whether to adjust the predicted fan speed. The adjustment unit determines the speed adjustment factor based on historical data to optimize the predicted fan speeds of the first centrifugal fan 3 and the second centrifugal fan 12, thus realizing intelligent adaptive adjustment. In winter, it can respond to environmental changes in real time. By controlling the opening and closing and the valve opening of the corresponding pneumatic butterfly valve, and the adjustment of the predicted fan speeds of the first centrifugal fan 3 and the second centrifugal fan 12, the natural wind resources in winter enter the interior of the spray cooling tower 20 and exchange heat with the material atomized in the spray cooling tower 20 for cooling, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the air intake control of the spray cooling tower 20, ensuring the production stability, and effectively reducing the energy consumption.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, when determining the acquisition area based on the spray cooling tower and determining the target ambient temperature according to the acquisition area, it includes: The acquisition unit takes the geometric center of the spray cooling tower 20 as the center of the circle, extends along the direction of the wall surface of the spray cooling tower 20, and determines the area height d that is the same as the height of the spray cooling tower 20, forms a cylindrical space with a radius of R and an area height d, and removes the spray cooling tower 20 in the cylindrical space to construct the acquisition area, obtains several ambient temperatures of the acquisition area at preset time intervals, and determines the average temperature of the several ambient temperatures as the target ambient temperature.

[0065] Specifically, with the geometric center of the spray cooling tower 20 as the center of the circle, a cylindrical space is extended along the wall surface orientation direction and constructed to have the same height as the tower height. At the same time, the spray cooling tower 20 itself is excluded, fully considering the flow characteristics of the air around the spray cooling tower 20 and the range of the influence of heat exchange. When the spray cooling tower 20 operates in winter, a specific temperature field will be formed in the surrounding air. The cylindrical space can comprehensively cover the air area near the spray cooling tower 20, neither over-collecting the temperature of irrelevant areas nor missing the affected area, so that the collected area can accurately represent the actual environment where the spray cooling tower 20 is located, making the collected ambient temperature representative and providing a reliable basis for subsequent control. At preset time intervals, several ambient temperatures in the collected area are obtained and averaged as the target ambient temperature. By sampling and averaging multiple times, the interference of accidental factors in the environment (such as instantaneous local air flow disturbances, short-term solar radiation changes, etc.) on temperature measurement can be effectively reduced, avoiding the misleading of the overall judgment by individual abnormal temperature values. The obtained target ambient temperature can truly reflect the ambient temperature condition of the collected area, improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the entire inlet air control system of the spray cooling tower.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, when controlling the opening and closing of the first pneumatic butterfly valve, the second pneumatic butterfly valve, the third pneumatic butterfly valve, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve, the fifth pneumatic butterfly valve and the sixth pneumatic butterfly valve according to the target ambient temperature, it includes: when the target ambient temperature is less than the standard ambient temperature, the control unit closes the second pneumatic butterfly valve 5 and the fifth pneumatic butterfly valve 14, and opens the first pneumatic butterfly valve 4, the third pneumatic butterfly valve 7, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13 and the sixth pneumatic butterfly valve 16.

[0067] Specifically, when the target ambient temperature is less than the standard ambient temperature, the control unit closes the second pneumatic butterfly valve 5 and the fifth pneumatic butterfly valve 14, and opens the first pneumatic butterfly valve 4, the third pneumatic butterfly valve 7, the fourth pneumatic butterfly valve 13 and the sixth pneumatic butterfly valve 16. At this time, the air of the spray cooling tower 20 is drawn to the outside through the first centrifugal fan 3 and the second centrifugal fan 12 after being dust-removed and filtered by the first bag filter 1 and the second bag filter 10, making the spray cooling tower 20 generate negative pressure, so as to introduce the outdoor air into the first primary filter 8 and the second primary filter 17, and then exchange heat and cool down with the atomized material in the spray cooling tower 20. The standard ambient temperature is determined according to the temperature required by the process of the spray cooling tower 20. By dynamically adjusting the corresponding pneumatic butterfly valves based on the target ambient temperature, not only the precise control of the natural air delivery is ensured, but also the temperature fluctuation can be adaptively processed, improving the automation degree and reliability of the control system.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, when determining the butterfly valve opening based on the target ambient temperature, it includes: the control unit pre-sets a first preset target ambient temperature and a second preset target ambient temperature, the first preset target ambient temperature is less than the second preset target ambient temperature, the control unit pre-sets a first preset butterfly valve opening, a second preset butterfly valve opening, and a third preset butterfly valve opening, the first preset butterfly valve opening is greater than the second preset butterfly valve opening, and the second preset butterfly valve opening is greater than the third preset butterfly valve opening. When the target ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset target ambient temperature, the third preset butterfly valve opening is used as the butterfly valve opening. When the target ambient temperature is less than the second preset target ambient temperature and greater than the first preset target ambient temperature, the second preset butterfly valve opening is used as the butterfly valve opening. When the target ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first preset target ambient temperature, the first preset butterfly valve opening is used as the butterfly valve opening.

[0069] Specifically, both the first preset target ambient temperature and the second preset target ambient temperature are less than the standard ambient temperature. By setting different preset target ambient temperatures and corresponding preset butterfly valve openings, the target ambient temperature is divided into different intervals for targeted control. When the target ambient temperature is in different ranges, different preset butterfly valve openings are corresponding to change the degree of air intake, meeting the operation requirements of the spray cooling tower 20 in the winter environment, enabling the system to adaptively adjust according to the actual temperature, and ensuring the stability of the operation state of the spray cooling tower 20.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, when determining the predicted fan speed according to the butterfly valve opening and the speed model, it includes: obtaining a speed data set, dividing the speed data set into a training set and a test set, using the training set to train the data model, using the test set to test the trained data model, and finally determining a speed model with the butterfly valve opening as the input and the predicted fan speed as the output. The data model is a random forest model.

[0071] Specifically, the rotational speed data set includes data such as the ambient temperature, pressure, flow rate, and butterfly valve opening of the spray cooling tower 20 at different times. These data record the operating conditions of the spray cooling tower 20 at different time periods. The rotational speed data set is divided into a training set and a test set. Usually, 70%-80% of the data is used as the training set, and the rest is used as the test set. Ensure that both the training set and the test set contain data of various operating conditions to improve the generalization ability of the model. The random forest model is an ensemble learning method composed of multiple decision trees. It can effectively model the complex and non-linear relationship between the butterfly valve opening and the fan rotational speed. The training set is used to train the random forest model. During the training process, the model will learn the internal relationships and rules between the data. Then, the test set is used to test the trained model to verify the generalization ability of the model and avoid overfitting or underfitting problems. The rotational speed model determined through training and testing can reflect the mapping relationship between the butterfly valve opening and the predicted fan rotational speed, enhancing the intelligence level and control reliability of the system.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, when comparing the predicted fan rotational speed with historical data and determining whether to adjust the predicted fan rotational speed according to the comparison result, it includes: The historical data includes several historical predicted fan rotational speeds. The average value of the historical qualified predicted fan rotational speeds is determined based on the several historical predicted fan rotational speeds. If the predicted fan rotational speed is greater than or equal to the average value of the historical qualified predicted fan rotational speeds, the control unit determines not to adjust the predicted fan rotational speed. If the predicted fan rotational speed is less than the average value of the historical qualified predicted fan rotational speeds, the control unit determines to adjust the predicted fan rotational speed.

[0073] Specifically, the average value of the historical qualified predicted fan rotational speeds can be set according to the actual process requirements of the spray cooling tower 20, and whether to adjust the predicted fan rotational speed is judged based on this. When the predicted fan rotational speed is greater than or equal to the average value of the historical qualified predicted fan rotational speeds, it is considered to be within a reasonable range and no adjustment is required. When the predicted fan rotational speed is less than the average value of the historical qualified predicted fan rotational speeds, it is considered that the rotational speed does not match the current environment and the natural wind cannot be effectively introduced into the spray cooling tower 20. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the predicted fan rotational speed. Using historical data to form a judgment criterion enables the adjustment of the predicted fan rotational speed to be based on objective data rather than relying on subjective experience or simple rules, thus realizing intelligent adjustment. Moreover, as more historical data accumulates during the operation of the system, the judgment criterion can be continuously improved, further enhancing the automation level and control accuracy of the system.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, when determining the rotational speed adjustment factor based on historical data and adjusting the predicted rotational speed of the fan based on the rotational speed adjustment factor, it includes: The adjustment unit divides the historical fan predicted rotational speeds greater than the average value of the historical qualified fan predicted rotational speeds into an adjustment set, extracts the maximum value and the minimum value of the historical fan predicted rotational speeds in the adjustment set, obtains the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value, and determines the rotational speed adjustment factor as the power with e as the base and the ratio as the exponent. The predicted rotational speed of the fan is in a direct proportion relationship with the rotational speed adjustment factor.

[0075] Specifically, by screening out the historical fan predicted rotational speeds greater than the average value of the historical qualified fan predicted rotational speeds to form an adjustment set, focusing on the data at a relatively high rotational speed level and meeting the qualification in the historical data, specifically extracting the maximum value and the minimum value within this set, and determining the rotational speed adjustment factor by taking the power with e as the base of their ratio, it effectively utilizes the characteristics of the historical data and avoids general processing of all data. Since the rotational speed adjustment factor is in a direct proportion relationship with the predicted rotational speed of the fan, when factors such as the ambient temperature change, the rotational speed adjustment factor dynamically determined based on historical data can adaptively adjust the predicted rotational speed of the fan, ensuring that the air intake system of the spray cooling tower 20 is always in a good operating state in environments such as winter, and improving the automation level of the system. Assuming the rotational speed adjustment factor is K and the predicted rotational speed of the fan is V, then the adjusted predicted rotational speed of the fan is K * V. When it is necessary to increase the predicted rotational speed of the fan, it is adjusted according to the rotational speed adjustment factor, so that the adjusted predicted rotational speed of the fan matches the actual environment. While ensuring system control, it reduces energy consumption and guarantees the operating efficiency of the spray cooling tower 20.

[0076] In another preferred manner based on the above embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for controlling the air intake of a spray cooling tower, which is applied to the above-mentioned air intake control system of the spray cooling tower, and includes:

[0077] S100: Determine the acquisition area and determine the target ambient temperature according to the acquisition area.

[0078] S200: Determine the butterfly valve opening based on the target ambient temperature, determine the predicted rotational speed of the fan according to the butterfly valve opening and the rotational speed model, compare the predicted rotational speed of the fan with the historical data, and determine whether to adjust the predicted rotational speed of the fan according to the comparison result.

[0079] S300: When it is determined to adjust the predicted rotational speed of the fan, determine the rotational speed adjustment factor based on historical data and adjust the predicted rotational speed of the fan based on the rotational speed adjustment factor.

[0080] Specifically, by setting the first air inlet module and the second air inlet module that are axisymmetric about the center of the spray cooling tower, compared with the traditional single-cycle air inlet mode, in winter, the working states of the two air inlet modules can be flexibly controlled, and the outside low-temperature air can be used for cooling, improving the flexibility of the air inlet. The first primary filter can perform multi-stage filtration on the incoming air, effectively removing pollutants such as dust and impurities in the air, improving the cleanliness of the air entering the spray cooling tower, reducing the erosion of pollutants on the inside of the spray cooling tower, and extending the service life of the spray cooling tower. Under the action of the control module, the air inlet condition can be reasonably adjusted according to the actual working conditions, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the spray cooling tower, thereby effectively reducing the production energy consumption and reducing the dependence on refrigeration equipment such as chillers. The symmetric distribution of the first air inlet module and the second air inlet module makes the force on the spray cooling tower uniform, reducing problems such as equipment vibration caused by uneven air inlet, and ensuring the stable operation of the spray cooling tower. Under the action of the control module, each component cooperates with each other, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the air inlet control system of the spray cooling tower, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of industrial production.
