Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a square air-cooled water tower with dual functions. Background Technology

[0002] Air-cooled towers and water-cooled towers are commonly used equipment in air separation projects for air precooling. The entire precooling system typically consists of an air-cooled tower, a water-cooled tower, cooling water pumps, chilled water pumps, and a chiller. Both air-cooled and water-cooled towers are cylindrical, and in the same air separation project, their diameters are usually similar, with the air-cooled tower being slightly taller than the water-cooled tower. Currently, in all operational air separation projects, the air-cooled and water-cooled towers are independent towers, and their arrangement takes into account maintenance clearance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a square air-cooled water tower that serves two purposes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a dual-purpose square air-cooled tower and a water-cooled tower, comprising an air-cooled tower and a water-cooled tower arranged adjacent to each other; the cross-sections of the air-cooled tower and the water-cooled tower are square.

[0005] An intermediate partition is provided between the air-cooled tower and the water-cooled tower.

[0006] Furthermore, the air-cooled tower is equipped with an air inlet, an air outlet, an upper water inlet, a lower water inlet, a bottom drain outlet, and a top wire mesh demister. The air from the air compressor enters through the air inlet, is cooled by water spray, and then exits through the air outlet.

[0007] Furthermore, the water-cooled tower includes: a waste nitrogen inlet, a waste nitrogen outlet, a water-cooled tower inlet, a drain outlet, and a top wire mesh demister; the circulating water is cooled in the water-cooled tower using the cooling capacity carried by the waste nitrogen gas before being reused.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the air-cooled tower is greater than the height of the water-cooled tower.

[0009] This invention organically combines air-cooled towers and water-cooled towers, allowing both to operate independently while significantly reducing the floor space required for the towers and lowering construction costs. It can solve problems such as the large number of equipment in air separation projects, limited construction sites, and difficulties in layout. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0017] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0018] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] This invention relates to a dual-purpose square air-cooled water tower, specifically designed for use in air separation projects. For example... Figures 1 to 4The diagram shows the internal space of the air-cooled tower and the water-cooled tower. It includes: tower body (1), intermediate partition (2), air inlet (3), air outlet (4), upper water inlet of the air-cooled tower (5), lower water inlet of the air-cooled tower (6), bottom drain outlet of the air-cooled tower (7), top wire mesh demister of the air-cooled tower (8), waste nitrogen inlet of the water-cooled tower (9), waste nitrogen outlet of the water-cooled tower (10), water inlet of the water-cooled tower (11), drain outlet of the water-cooled tower (12), and top wire mesh demister of the water-cooled tower (13).

[0020] This is a dual-purpose square air-cooled and water-cooled tower. The internal space of the tower is divided into two parts by a central partition. One part is used as an air-cooled tower, and the other part is used as a water-cooled tower.

[0021] The air-cooled tower is equipped with an air inlet, an air outlet, an upper water inlet, a lower water inlet, a bottom drain outlet, and a wire mesh demister at the top. The air from the air compressor enters through the air inlet, is cooled by water spray, and exits through the air outlet.

[0022] The water-cooled tower is equipped with a nitrogen inlet, a nitrogen outlet, a water inlet, a drain, and a top wire mesh demister. The circulating water is cooled within the tower using the cooling capacity carried by the nitrogen gas before reuse. This dual-purpose square air-cooled and water-cooled tower organically combines air-cooling and water-cooling functions, achieving dual-use functionality and significantly reducing the floor space required for air-cooled and water-cooled towers, thus lowering construction costs.

[0023] This invention, a square air-water cooling tower with dual functions, organically combines two adsorption towers, simultaneously realizing the functions of an air-cooled tower and a water-cooled tower, which can greatly reduce the tower's footprint and lower the cost.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Many other changes and modifications made without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0026] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
