Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial water-saving technology, and in particular to a clustered array column-type sound generator and a sound wave water collection method. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as power and chemicals, hyperbolic cooling towers consume enormous amounts of water through evaporation, and traditional water-saving technologies are insufficient to meet the national water resource protection and enterprise energy conservation needs. The clustered array column-type sound generator and acoustic water collection technology, based on thermodynamics and dehumidification principles, uses low-frequency, high-sound-pressure sound waves to agglomerate tiny water droplets in the humid airflow. Combined with an optimized water collector for efficient interception, this significantly reduces evaporation losses. This technology requires no major modifications to the tower structure, can be precisely adapted to industrial cooling tower operating conditions, and provides an efficient and feasible solution to the problem of water waste in circulating cooling water systems. It has significant practical implications for promoting the creation of water-saving enterprises and responding to the national call for water conservation.
[0003] Traditional cooling towers rely primarily on baffles for water collection, which have extremely low efficiency and cannot effectively capture fine water droplets, resulting in significant water loss through airflow. Furthermore, traditional baffles are prone to scaling and have high flow resistance, which can negatively impact the cooling tower's ventilation and cooling performance over time, increasing energy consumption. In addition, uncollected water droplets create visual pollution and may carry pollutants, exacerbating PM2.5 emissions. This makes it difficult to meet the dual demands of modern industry for water conservation and environmental protection. Therefore, achieving a balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety, and green energy conservation through acoustic water collection technology has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a clustered array column-type sound generator, a method for acoustic water collection, and a computer-readable storage medium. Its main purpose is to achieve a balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety, and green energy saving in acoustic water collection technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a clustered array column-type sound generator and a method for collecting sound waves, comprising:
[0006] The hot water to be treated is obtained, and using a preset initial softening flow rate and m interval pairs, the hot water to be treated is input from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module. The softening water treatment module performs ion removal treatment on the hot water to be treated to obtain softened water.
[0007] Using a preset cooling flow rate, softened water is input into the cold water tank, and the water distribution system is used to transport the softened water to the top of the heat dissipation material and spray it to form a water film, thus obtaining a spray water film.
[0008] Outside air is introduced through the air inlet of the tower. The outside air and the spray water film exchange heat in a countercurrent manner in the heat dissipation material and then evaporate the spray water film to obtain a humid and hot airflow. The humid and hot airflow includes multiple water droplets, and the water droplets are either large-diameter or small-diameter.
[0009] The sound wave operating parameters were determined based on the hot and humid airflow. These parameters include the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level.
[0010] Compressed air is generated by an air compressor station, which drives a cluster array column generator to generate low-frequency sound waves based on the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level in the sound wave operating parameters, thus obtaining a standing wave sound field.
[0011] When a standing wave sound field is applied to a humid and hot airflow, large water droplets in the humid and hot airflow collide with small water droplets and agglomerate, resulting in agglomerated water droplets.
[0012] The target passivation parameter combination is identified, which includes the target passivation angle and the target passivation circumference radius. Based on the target passivation parameter combination, the agglomerated water droplets are intercepted by the passivation boundary baffle and guide plate in the optimized water collector to obtain recycled water. The recycled water is then transported to the cold water pool to realize the sound wave water collection based on the cluster array column generator.
[0013] Optionally, the initial softening flow rate and the m interval pairs are obtained as follows:
[0014] The temperature of the hot water to be treated is detected to obtain the initial temperature value;
[0015] Measure the input diameter of the softened water treatment module and calculate the corresponding input cross-sectional area of the softened water treatment module based on the input diameter;
[0016] The temperature-flow rate curve is plotted using the input cross-sectional area;
[0017] Using the initial temperature value, the analytical flow rate is retrieved from the temperature-flow rate curve, and the analytical flow rate is used as the initial softening flow rate;
[0018] Based on the initial temperature value, m temperature intervals are identified, where each temperature interval includes a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature, and the difference between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in each temperature interval is the same.
[0019] Using each of the m temperature ranges, the softening flow rate range is identified in the temperature-flow rate curve, resulting in m softening flow rate ranges, where the temperature ranges and softening flow rate ranges correspond one-to-one.
[0020] By associating m temperature ranges and m softening flow rate ranges respectively, m range pairs are obtained.
[0021] Optionally, the step of inputting the hot water to be treated from the hot water inlet to the softened water treatment module includes:
[0022] Using the initial softening flow rate, the hot water to be treated is input from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module and the start time is recorded;
[0023] The capacity of the hot water to be treated is calculated to obtain the hot water capacity;
[0024] The duration is predicted based on the hot water capacity and the initial softening flow rate.
[0025] The duration is calculated based on the start time and duration, and multiple monitoring moments are identified within the duration using a preset monitoring time interval.
[0026] At each monitoring moment, the temperature of the hot water to be treated and the flow rate of the hot water to be treated as it enters the softened water treatment module from the hot water inlet are monitored to obtain the current monitoring temperature and the current monitoring flow rate.
[0027] Using the current monitored temperature, the current temperature range is identified among m temperature ranges, wherein the current monitored temperature is located within the current temperature range;
[0028] Using the current monitored flow rate, the current flow rate interval is identified among m softening flow rate intervals, wherein the current monitored flow rate is located within the current flow rate interval;
[0029] If the current temperature range and the current flow rate range are not in the same range pair, adjust the current monitoring flow rate according to the current monitoring temperature to obtain the updated monitoring flow rate. Use the updated monitoring flow rate to confirm the updated flow rate range until the current temperature range and the updated flow rate range are in the same range pair.
[0030] Optionally, determining the acoustic operating parameters based on the humid and hot airflow includes:
[0031] Obtain the initial sound wave operating parameters, which include: initial sound wave frequency and initial sound pressure level;
[0032] The real-time operating parameters and particle size parameters of the hot and humid airflow in the detection tower are included. The real-time operating parameters include the actual relative humidity and the actual airflow velocity, and the particle size parameters include the average particle size of water droplets.
[0033] The sound wave frequency is calculated using the actual relative humidity, a preset relative humidity threshold, the average droplet size, and the initial sound wave frequency, wherein the sound wave frequency is as follows:
[0034]
[0035]
[0036] in, This indicates the actual relative humidity. This represents the relative humidity threshold. This represents the initial sound wave frequency. Indicates the frequency of the sound wave. This indicates the preset maximum sound wave frequency. This indicates the average particle size of the water droplets. This represents the preset average particle size threshold, and min() indicates taking the minimum value. () indicates taking the maximum value. Indicates the actual identifier, Indicates the threshold identifier. Indicates the initial identifier. Represents the largest identifier;
[0037] The sound pressure level is calculated using the actual airflow velocity, a preset airflow velocity threshold, the average droplet size, and the initial sound pressure level, as shown below:
[0038]
[0039]
[0040] in, This indicates the actual airflow velocity. This indicates the airflow velocity threshold. This represents the initial sound pressure level. Indicates the sound pressure level, This indicates the preset maximum sound pressure level. This indicates the average particle size of the water droplets. This represents the preset average particle size threshold, and min() indicates taking the minimum value. () indicates taking the maximum value. Indicates the actual identifier, Indicates the threshold identifier. This represents the initial identifier. Represents the largest identifier;
[0041] By summarizing the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level, the sound wave operating parameters are obtained.
[0042] Optionally, the method for obtaining the particle size parameter includes:
[0043] The distribution height range of the humid and hot airflow is identified. Using the preset collection interval length, the distribution height range is divided into a sub-height ranges, and the humid and hot airflow is divided into a humid and hot airflow segments. The sub-height ranges correspond one-to-one with the humid and hot airflow segments.
[0044] In each of the a sub-height intervals, b preset detectors are deployed, wherein the b preset detectors are evenly distributed around the humid and hot airflow section corresponding to the sub-height interval.
[0045] At the preset acquisition time, a multiplied by b detectors are used to simultaneously detect the corresponding hot and humid airflow section and calculate a multiplied by b average particle size values, where each average particle size value corresponds one-to-one with a detector.
[0046] The average of a multiplied by b average particle size values is calculated to obtain the average particle size of the water droplet, which is then used as the particle size parameter.
[0047] Optionally, the identification of the target passivation parameter combination includes:
[0048] Multiple simulated passivation parameter combinations are set, where each simulated passivation parameter combination includes: simulated passivation angle and simulated passivation circumference radius;
[0049] For each of the multiple simulated passivation parameter combinations, perform the following operation:
[0050] An initial simulated cooling environment is constructed by setting the initial simulated cooling environment using the actual airflow velocity, average water droplet size, and simulated passivation parameters.
[0051] In the simulated cooling environment, simulated nodes were identified, including: the proportion of high-speed airflow, the simulated interception efficiency, and the simulated pressure difference. The simulated nodes correspond one-to-one with the simulated passivation parameter combinations.
[0052] If the proportion of the simulated high-speed airflow zone is less than the preset high-speed zone proportion threshold, the simulated interception efficiency is greater than the preset target interception rate, and the simulated pressure difference is less than the preset pressure difference threshold, the simulated passivation parameter combination is confirmed as a candidate passivation parameter combination, and the simulated node is confirmed as a candidate simulated node.
[0053] By summarizing the candidate passivation parameter combinations and candidate simulation nodes, one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations and one or more candidate simulation nodes are obtained, wherein the number of candidate passivation parameter combinations is greater than or equal to 1;
[0054] The target passivation parameter combination is identified using one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations and one or more candidate simulation nodes.
[0055] Optionally, the step of identifying the target passivation parameter combination using one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations and one or more candidate simulation nodes includes:
[0056] The number of candidate passivation parameter combinations is determined from one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations to obtain the number of candidates;
[0057] If the number of candidates is 1, then the candidate passivation parameter combination is used as the target passivation parameter combination; otherwise, the following operation is performed on each of the multiple candidate passivation parameter combinations:
[0058] Using the aforementioned combination of candidate passivation parameters, the analysis simulation node is identified from multiple candidate simulation nodes;
[0059] The absolute difference between the proportion of high-speed airflow in the simulated node and the threshold value of the high-speed airflow is calculated to obtain the absolute difference of the high-speed airflow proportion. The ratio of the absolute difference of the high-speed airflow proportion to the threshold value of the high-speed airflow proportion is then calculated to obtain the high-speed airflow proportion value.
[0060] Calculate the absolute difference between the simulated interception efficiency and the target interception rate in the simulated node to obtain the absolute difference in interception rates, and calculate the ratio of the absolute difference in interception rates to the target interception rate to obtain the interception rate ratio;
[0061] Calculate the absolute difference between the simulated pressure difference in the simulated node and the pressure difference threshold to obtain the absolute pressure difference; calculate the ratio of the absolute pressure difference to the pressure difference threshold to obtain the pressure difference ratio.
[0062] The simulated ratio is obtained by adding the high-speed zone ratio, the interception rate ratio, and the pressure difference ratio.
[0063] By summing the simulation ratios, multiple simulation ratios are obtained, in which each simulation ratio corresponds one-to-one with the candidate passivation parameter combination and the candidate simulation node.
[0064] The maximum simulation ratio is identified from multiple simulation ratios, and the candidate passivation parameter combination corresponding to the maximum simulation ratio is taken as the target passivation parameter combination.
[0065] Optionally, the step of intercepting agglomerated water droplets using the optimized passivation boundary baffles and guide plates in the water collector based on the target passivation parameter combination to obtain recycled water includes:
[0066] The target passivation boundary baffle is obtained by taking the target passivation angle of the target passivation parameter combination as the passivation angle of the passivation boundary baffle and taking the target passivation circumference radius of the target passivation parameter combination as the passivation circumference radius of the passivation boundary baffle.
[0067] The guide plate directs the hot and humid airflow. When the hot and humid airflow enters the target passivation boundary baffle, the agglomerated water droplets collide with the surface of the target passivation boundary baffle to obtain intercepted water droplets, which are then used as recycled water.
[0068] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a clustered array column-type sound generator and a sound wave water collection system, comprising:
[0069] The softening pretreatment module is used to obtain the hot water to be treated. Using a preset initial softening flow rate and m interval pairs, the hot water to be treated is input from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module. The softening water treatment module performs ion removal treatment on the hot water to be treated to obtain softened water.
[0070] The spray heat exchange module is used to input softened water into the cold water tank using a preset cooling flow rate, and then use the water distribution system to transport the softened water to the top of the heat dissipation material and spray it to form a water film, thus obtaining a spray water film.
[0071] Outside air is introduced through the air inlet of the tower. The outside air and the spray water film exchange heat in a countercurrent manner in the heat dissipation material and then evaporate the spray water film to obtain a humid and hot airflow. The humid and hot airflow includes multiple water droplets, and the water droplets are either large-diameter or small-diameter.
[0072] The acoustic wave aggregation module is used to determine the acoustic wave operating parameters based on the hot and humid airflow. The acoustic wave operating parameters include acoustic wave frequency and sound pressure level.
[0073] Compressed air is generated by an air compressor station, which drives a cluster array column generator to generate low-frequency sound waves based on the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level in the sound wave operating parameters, thus obtaining a standing wave sound field.
[0074] When a standing wave sound field is applied to a humid and hot airflow, large water droplets in the humid and hot airflow collide with small water droplets and agglomerate, resulting in agglomerated water droplets.
[0075] An optimized water collection module is used to identify the target passivation parameter combination, which includes the target passivation angle and the target passivation circumference radius. Based on the target passivation parameter combination, the passivation boundary baffle and guide plate in the optimized water collector are used to intercept the agglomerated water droplets to obtain recycled water. The recycled water is then transported to a cold water tank to achieve sound wave water collection based on a clustered array column generator.
[0076] To address the above problems, the present invention also provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
[0077] A memory that stores at least one instruction; and a processor that executes the instructions stored in the memory to implement the clustered array column-type sound generator and the sound wave water collection method described above.
[0078] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one instruction, which is executed by a processor in an electronic device to implement the aforementioned clustered array column-type sound generator and acoustic water collection method.
[0079] To address the problems described in the background section, this invention obtains hot water to be treated. Utilizing a preset initial softening flow rate and m interval pairs, the hot water is input from the hot water inlet to a softening water treatment module. The softening water treatment module then performs ion removal treatment on the hot water to obtain softened water. This invention removes easily scale-forming ions from the hot water to be treated, preventing scale buildup in the cooling tower. During the softening process, the temperature-adaptation matching is monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure sufficient softening without damaging the softening water treatment module. This also improves subsequent acoustic water collection. Efficiency is the foundation. Softened water is fed into a cold water tank using a preset cooling flow rate. A water distribution system then transports the softened water above the heat dissipation material and sprays it to form a water film, resulting in a sprayed water film. Outside air is introduced through the tower's air inlet. The outside air and the sprayed water film exchange heat counter-currently within the heat dissipation material, evaporating the sprayed water film and producing a humid, hot airflow. This humid, hot airflow comprises multiple water droplets, which can be large or small in diameter. Therefore, this invention dynamically corrects the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level based on the real-time operating conditions and particle size parameters of the humid, hot airflow, precisely matching the resonance and aggregation of the water droplets. To address the needs, compensate for sound wave attenuation, and overcome airflow drag, this acoustic water harvesting technology achieves an optimal balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety, and green energy conservation. Based on the humid and hot airflow, the acoustic operating parameters are determined, including sound wave frequency and sound pressure level. Compressed air is generated using an air compressor station, which drives a cluster array of column-type sound generators. Low-frequency sound waves are generated based on the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level parameters, resulting in a standing wave sound field. This standing wave sound field is then applied to the humid and hot airflow, causing large-diameter water droplets to collide with small-diameter water droplets within the airflow. The water droplets agglomerate, and the target passivation parameter combination is identified. This target passivation parameter combination includes the target passivation angle and the target passivation circumference radius. Based on this target passivation parameter combination, the agglomerated water droplets are intercepted by the passivation boundary baffles and guide plates in the optimized water collector, resulting in recycled water. This recycled water is then transported to a cold water tank, achieving acoustic water collection based on a clustered array column-type sound generator. It is evident that this invention, by selecting the target passivation parameter combination, reduces airflow velocity and flow resistance during the cooling process to prevent the re-entrainment of agglomerated water droplets, thereby improving water collection efficiency. Therefore, this invention achieves a balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety, and green energy saving in acoustic water collection technology. Attached Figure Description

[0088] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0089] This application provides a clustered array column-type sound generator and a method for acoustic water collection. The executing entity of the clustered array column-type sound generator and the method includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the electronic devices that can be configured to execute the method provided in this application, such as a server or a terminal. In other words, the clustered array column-type sound generator and the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on a terminal device or a server device, and the software can be a blockchain platform. The server includes, but is not limited to, a single server, a server cluster, a cloud server, or a cloud server cluster.
[0090] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic flowchart of a clustered array column-type sound generator and a sound wave water collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the clustered array column-type sound generator and the sound wave water collection method include:
[0091] S1. Obtain the hot water to be treated. Using the preset initial softening flow rate and m interval pairs, input the hot water to be treated from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module. Use the softening water treatment module to perform ion removal treatment on the hot water to be treated to obtain softened water.
[0092] It should be explained that the hot water to be treated is the initial hot water that needs to be cooled using acoustic water collection technology. It should be clarified that the temperature of the hot water to be treated is higher than the reference temperature required by natural water bodies or specific processes, and it must be cooled before it can be reused. The acoustic water collection technology is a physical separation technology that uses a clustered array of columnar sound generators to cause the fine droplets in the humid and hot airflow to coagulate and agglomerate, and then efficiently intercept and recover them.
[0093] Understandably, the softened water treatment module is a module that performs ion removal treatment on the hot water to be treated. The purpose of using the softened water treatment module to perform ion removal treatment on the hot water to be treated is to: remove calcium, magnesium, and other easily scale-forming ions from the hot water to be treated, preventing them from forming hard scale on the surfaces of the clustered array column generator, heat dissipation material, and water distribution system in the high-temperature and high-humidity environment inside the tower. This ensures the efficient heat exchange performance of the heat dissipation material and prevents scale adhesion from causing frequency drift in the clustered array column generator, thereby improving the agglomeration efficiency of the acoustic water collection technology and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the cooling tower acoustic water collection device. The ion removal treatment is the process of removing easily scale-forming ions such as calcium and magnesium from the hot water to be treated. The softened water is the hot water to be treated after the removal of these easily scale-forming ions.
[0094] It should be clarified that water softening modules are mostly made of softening resin, and softening resin has a heat resistance limit. If the temperature of the hot water to be treated is too high, the flow rate of the hot water entering the water softening module must be reduced to prolong the residence time of the water in the resin layer and prevent the resin from being damaged by high temperature. Therefore, in order to prevent high temperature damage to the softening resin and simultaneously meet the flow rate requirements under different heat loads, the flow rate of the hot water entering the water softening module needs to be controlled according to the temperature of the hot water to be treated. Therefore, the method for obtaining the initial softening flow rate and the m interval pairs is as follows:
[0095] The temperature of the hot water to be treated is detected to obtain the initial temperature value;
[0096] Measure the input diameter of the softened water treatment module and calculate the corresponding input cross-sectional area of the softened water treatment module based on the input diameter;
[0097] The temperature-flow rate curve is plotted using the input cross-sectional area;
[0098] Using the initial temperature value, the analytical flow rate is retrieved from the temperature-flow rate curve, and the analytical flow rate is used as the initial softening flow rate;
[0099] Based on the initial temperature value, m temperature intervals are identified, where each temperature interval includes a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature, and the difference between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in each temperature interval is the same.
[0100] Using each of the m temperature ranges, the softening flow rate range is identified in the temperature-flow rate curve, resulting in m softening flow rate ranges, where the temperature ranges and softening flow rate ranges correspond one-to-one.
[0101] By associating m temperature ranges and m softening flow rate ranges respectively, m range pairs are obtained.
[0102] It should be explained that the initial softening flow rate is used to control the initial flow rate of the hot water to be treated from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module. The initial temperature value is the measured temperature of the hot water to be treated before entering the softening water treatment module. Optionally, the initial temperature value can be obtained by installing an industrial-grade temperature sensor on the hot water pipe upstream of the softening water treatment module inlet. The input diameter is the nominal diameter of the inlet end of the softening water treatment module. Optionally, the input diameter can be obtained by methods including but not limited to: measuring with a tape measure, consulting the equipment technical manual, etc. The input cross-sectional area is the cross-sectional area of the inlet pipe calculated based on the input diameter of the softening water treatment module. Specifically, the calculation method for the input cross-sectional area is as follows:
[0103]
[0104] in, This represents the input cross-sectional area. This represents the preset value of pi. This indicates the input aperture.
[0105] Understandably, the temperature-flow rate curve is plotted with the temperature of the hot water to be treated as the abscissa and the softening flow rate as the ordinate, while keeping the input cross-sectional area constant. It reflects the relationship between the temperature of the hot water to be treated and the softening flow rate. Specifically, the process of obtaining the temperature-flow rate curve is as follows: keeping the input cross-sectional area constant, adjusting the temperature of the hot water to be treated, measuring the actual flow rate of the softening water treatment module at different temperatures, calculating the corresponding actual flow rate by dividing the actual flow rate by the input cross-sectional area, and fitting multiple sets (temperature of the hot water to be treated and actual flow rate) to plot the temperature-flow rate curve. The analyzed flow rate is a specific flow rate value retrieved from the temperature-flow rate curve based on the initial temperature value. The initial analyzed flow rate is the rate at which the hot water to be treated enters the softening water treatment module, determined based on the initial temperature value.
[0106] Furthermore, the temperature range is a continuous temperature range with uniform temperature differences, where the maximum temperature is the maximum value of the temperature range, and the minimum temperature is the minimum value of the temperature range. The softening flow rate range is the flow rate range corresponding to the temperature range. The range pair is a combination of a temperature range and its corresponding softening flow rate range, used to adapt to the delivery flow rate requirements of the hot water to be treated at different temperatures.
[0107] For example, assuming the initial temperature of the hot water to be treated is 45℃, the common temperature range of the hot water to be treated is 30-60℃, and the total temperature span is 30℃, if m=3 is set, then the difference between each temperature range is 10℃, and the three temperature ranges are identified as [30℃, 40℃), [40℃, 50℃), and [50℃, 60℃]. Based on the plotted temperature-flow rate curves, the softening flow rate intervals corresponding to each temperature range are retrieved, namely [30℃, 40℃) corresponds to [1.3m / s, 1.5m / s), [40℃, 50℃) corresponds to [1.1m / s, 1.3m / s), and [50℃, 60℃] corresponds to [0.9m / s, 1.1m / s). Then, the temperature ranges are associated with the corresponding softening flow rate intervals one by one, resulting in three interval pairs: ([30℃, 40℃), [1.3m / s, 1.5m / s)), ([40℃, 50℃), [1.1m / s, 1.3m / s)), and ([50℃, 60℃], [0.9m / s, 1.1m / s)).
[0108] Furthermore, the step of inputting the hot water to be treated from the hot water inlet into the softened water treatment module includes:
[0109] Using the initial softening flow rate, the hot water to be treated is input from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module and the start time is recorded;
[0110] The capacity of the hot water to be treated is calculated to obtain the hot water capacity;
[0111] The duration is predicted based on the hot water capacity and the initial softening flow rate.
[0112] The duration is calculated based on the start time and duration, and multiple monitoring moments are identified within the duration using a preset monitoring time interval.
[0113] At each monitoring moment, the temperature of the hot water to be treated and the flow rate of the hot water to be treated as it enters the softened water treatment module from the hot water inlet are monitored to obtain the current monitoring temperature and the current monitoring flow rate.
[0114] Using the current monitored temperature, the current temperature range is identified among m temperature ranges, wherein the current monitored temperature is located within the current temperature range;
[0115] Using the current monitored flow rate, the current flow rate interval is identified among m softening flow rate intervals, wherein the current monitored flow rate is located within the current flow rate interval;
[0116] If the current temperature range and the current flow rate range are not in the same range pair, adjust the current monitoring flow rate according to the current monitoring temperature to obtain the updated monitoring flow rate. Use the updated monitoring flow rate to confirm the updated flow rate range until the current temperature range and the updated flow rate range are in the same range pair.
[0117] It should be explained that the start time is the initial moment when the hot water to be treated is input into the softening module at the initial softening flow rate. For example, if the hot water to be treated is input into the softening water treatment module at 08:00:00 on May 20th, then 08:00:00 is the start time. The hot water capacity is the total volume of the hot water to be treated, for example, a hot water capacity of 100 m³. The duration is the estimated time required to process the hot water to be treated at the initial softening flow rate. Optionally, duration = hot water capacity ÷ initial softening flow rate. The duration period is the complete time range of the softening treatment. For example, if the duration is 5 hours, the duration period is from 08:00:00 to 13:00:00. The monitoring time interval is the time interval between two adjacent monitoring moments. The monitoring moment is a specific monitoring time point determined by the monitoring time interval within the duration period, for example: 08:30, 09:00, 09:30… The current monitoring temperature is the real-time temperature of the hot water to be treated collected at the monitoring moment. The current monitored flow rate is the real-time flow rate of the hot water to be treated input into the softened water treatment module at the monitoring time.
[0118] For example, based on the three interval pairs in the above example, assume that at a certain monitoring time, the current monitoring temperature is 43℃ and the current monitoring flow rate is 1.4m / s. Based on the current monitoring temperature of 43℃, it is confirmed to be within the range [40℃, 50℃) among the three temperature intervals; [40℃, 50℃) is the current temperature interval. Based on the current monitoring flow rate of 1.4m / s, the current flow rate interval is confirmed to be [1.3m / s, 1.5m / s) among the three softening flow rate intervals. Determining the interval correspondence: the flow rate interval corresponding to the current temperature interval [40℃, 50℃) should be [1.1m / s, 1.3m / s), while the temperature interval corresponding to the current flow rate interval [1.3m / s, 1.5m / s) is [30℃, 40℃). Since they are not in the same interval pair, it indicates that the current monitoring temperature and current monitoring flow rate do not match and need to be adjusted. Based on the standard flow rate range [1.1 m / s, 1.3 m / s] corresponding to the current temperature range [40℃, 50℃), the current monitored flow rate of 1.4 m / s is lowered to 1.2 m / s to obtain the updated monitored flow rate. Then, it is confirmed that the updated flow rate range corresponding to the updated monitored flow rate of 1.2 m / s is [1.1 m / s, 1.3 m / s). At this point, the current temperature range [40℃, 50℃) and the updated flow rate range [1.1 m / s, 1.3 m / s) belong to the same interval pair, and the adjustment is complete. This embodiment of the invention removes easily scale-forming ions from the hot water to be treated through ion removal treatment, avoiding scale formation in the cooling tower. During the softening process, the temperature-adaptation matching is monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure sufficient softening without damaging the softened water treatment module, laying the foundation for improving the subsequent acoustic water collection efficiency.
[0119] S2. Using a preset cooling flow rate, softened water is input into the cold water tank, and the softened water is transported to the top of the heat dissipation material and sprayed to form a water film, thus obtaining a spray water film.
[0120] Understandably, the cooling flow rate is preset and used to control the flow rate of softened water input to the cold water tank. Optionally, the cooling flow rate can be set according to the cooling tower's spray area, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat dissipation material, and the design parameters of the water distribution system. The spray water film is a continuous water layer formed by the water distribution system transporting and spraying water onto the heat dissipation material and flowing downwards along the surface of the heat dissipation material. The cold water tank is a water storage facility located at the bottom of the tower, used to store softened water and recycled water, providing a water source for the water distribution system. The cold water tank is located within the cooling tower's acoustic water collection device. The cooling tower's acoustic water collection device is a highly efficient water-saving device. Figure 4 As shown, the Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a cooling tower acoustic water collection device, which describes the overall structure of the device, the specific configuration of each core component, and their installation positions.
[0121] Specifically, the cooling tower acoustic water collection device includes a tower body (200), a clustered array column-type sound generator (201), an optimized water collector (202), a water distribution system (203), a heat dissipation material (204), a cold water pool (205), a softened water treatment module (206), an air compressor station (207), a hot water inlet (208), and an air inlet (209). The optimized water collector (202) is located on the upper part of the tower body (200) and includes a passivated boundary baffle (210) and a guide plate (211). The cluster array column generator (201) is located below the optimized water collector (202), the water distribution system (203) is located below the cluster array column generator (201), the heat dissipation material (204) is located below the water distribution system (203), the cold water pool (205) is located at the bottom of the tower body (200), the softened water treatment module (206) is connected to the hot water inlet (208) and the cold water pool (205), the air compressor station (207) is connected to the cluster array column generator (201), and the air inlet (209) is located on the left side of the tower body (200).
[0122] It should be explained that the tower body is the main structure of the cooling tower, providing installation space and ventilation channels for each component. The clustered array column-type sound generator is a core sound-generating device that receives compressed air and generates low-frequency, high-sound-pressure-level sound waves, arranged in an array. The optimized water collector is a device used to intercept agglomerated water droplets, including a passivated boundary baffle and a guide plate, which can improve water collection efficiency and reduce pressure drop. Among them, the passivated boundary baffle is the core component of the optimized water collector, with its edges passivated (including specific angles and rounded radii) to prevent water droplets from being re-entered. The guide plate is an auxiliary component of the optimized water collector, used to guide the humid and hot airflow, allowing the humid and hot airflow to smoothly enter the passivated boundary baffle. The water distribution system is a device system that connects the cold water pool and the heat dissipation material, used to transport and evenly spray softened water. The heat dissipation material is the core heat exchange component located below the water distribution system, providing a spreading carrier and heat exchange contact surface for the sprayed water film. The cold water tank, located at the bottom of the tower, is a water storage facility used to store softened water and recycled water, providing a water source for the water distribution system. The softened water treatment module is a pre-treatment unit for the cooling tower's acoustic water collection device, used to remove ions from the hot water entering the cooling tower to prevent scaling and clogging. The air compressor station is the power unit that provides compressed air to the clustered array column-type sound generator. The hot water inlet is the channel through which the hot water enters the softened water treatment module. The air inlet, located on the left side of the tower, is a dedicated channel for introducing outside air.
[0123] S3. Outside air is introduced through the air inlet of the tower. The outside air and the spray water film exchange heat in a countercurrent manner in the heat dissipation material and then evaporate the spray water film to obtain a humid and hot airflow. The humid and hot airflow includes multiple water droplets, and the water droplets are either large-diameter or small-diameter water droplets.
[0124] Understandably, the outside air is natural air introduced from outside the tower, serving as the medium for heat exchange and water film evaporation. The specific process of the outside air and the sprayed water film undergoing counter-current heat exchange within the heat dissipation material, resulting in the evaporation of the sprayed water film and the formation of a humid, hot airflow, is as follows: Outside air enters through the tower's air inlet and flows upwards, coming into counter-current contact with the sprayed water film, which is sprayed onto the surface of the heat dissipation material and flows downwards. This counter-current heat exchange occurs within the heat dissipation material. After absorbing heat, the sprayed water film partially evaporates into water vapor, which mixes with unevaporated large and small water droplets into the heated air, ultimately converging above the heat dissipation material to form a humid, hot airflow. This humid, hot airflow is the moist airflow formed after the sprayed water film evaporates. The counter-current heat exchange is the process of outside air flowing upwards and the sprayed water film flowing downwards, exchanging heat and mass through counter-current contact. The evaporation is the physical process by which the sprayed water film absorbs heat during the counter-current heat exchange, and some of the liquid water is converted into water vapor. The water droplets are liquid water particles that detach from the surface of the heat dissipation material after being broken up by airflow disturbance during the countercurrent heat exchange process and suspended in the humid and hot airflow.
[0125] S4. Determine the sound wave operating parameters based on the hot and humid airflow. The sound wave operating parameters include the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level.
[0126] It should be clarified that reasonable acoustic operating parameters are a prerequisite for using acoustic processing technology for cooling and recovery, and affect the subsequent water recovery efficiency. Therefore, the determination of acoustic operating parameters based on the humid and hot airflow includes:
[0127] Obtain the initial sound wave operating parameters, which include: initial sound wave frequency and initial sound pressure level;
[0128] The real-time operating parameters and particle size parameters of the hot and humid airflow in the detection tower are included. The real-time operating parameters include the actual relative humidity and the actual airflow velocity, and the particle size parameters include the average particle size of water droplets.
[0129] The sound wave frequency is calculated using the actual relative humidity, a preset relative humidity threshold, the average droplet size, and the initial sound wave frequency, wherein the sound wave frequency is as follows:
[0130]
[0131]
[0132] in, This indicates the actual relative humidity. This represents the relative humidity threshold. This represents the initial sound wave frequency. Indicates the frequency of the sound wave. This indicates the preset maximum sound wave frequency. This indicates the average particle size of the water droplets. This represents the preset average particle size threshold, and min() indicates taking the minimum value. () indicates taking the maximum value. Indicates the actual identifier, Indicates the threshold identifier. This represents the initial identifier. Represents the largest identifier;
[0133] The sound pressure level is calculated using the actual airflow velocity, a preset airflow velocity threshold, the average droplet size, and the initial sound pressure level, as shown below:
[0134]
[0135]
[0136] in, This indicates the actual airflow velocity. This indicates the airflow velocity threshold. This represents the initial sound pressure level. Indicates the sound pressure level, This indicates the preset maximum sound pressure level. This indicates the average particle size of the water droplets. This represents the preset average particle size threshold, and min() indicates taking the minimum value. () indicates taking the maximum value. Indicates the actual identifier, Indicates the threshold identifier. This represents the initial identifier. Represents the largest identifier;
[0137] By summarizing the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level, the sound wave operating parameters are obtained.
[0138] It is clear that the initial acoustic operating parameters are the baseline operating parameters of the cluster array generator, set manually and without correction for the humid and hot airflow. Specifically, these include the initial acoustic frequency and the initial sound pressure level. The initial acoustic frequency is the baseline value of the acoustic frequency without correction for the humid and hot airflow, and the initial sound pressure level is the baseline value of the sound pressure level without correction for the humid and hot airflow. It should be clarified that the acoustic operating parameters are the final operating parameters used by the cluster array generator after correction for the humid and hot airflow. The acoustic frequency is the final operating acoustic frequency of the cluster array generator after correction for the humid and hot airflow, used to match the water droplet resonance requirements. The sound pressure level is the final operating sound pressure level of the cluster array generator after correction for the humid and hot airflow conditions, used to ensure the water droplet aggregation strength. The real-time operating parameters are the actual operating status parameters of the humid and hot airflow in the cooling tower at the monitoring time, including the actual relative humidity and the actual airflow velocity. The actual relative humidity is the actual saturation level of water vapor in the humid and hot airflow in the cooling tower, and the actual airflow velocity is the actual flow speed of the humid and hot airflow in the cooling tower. The relative humidity threshold is a preset humidity threshold used to determine whether the actual relative humidity exceeds the normal controllable range. Optionally, the relative humidity threshold can be set based on long-term operating statistics (e.g., normal humidity fluctuation of 80%-90%) and acoustic agglomeration experiment results (e.g., agglomeration efficiency decreases by ≥15% after relative humidity exceeds 90%). The maximum acoustic frequency is the upper limit of the safe operating frequency of the cluster array generator; specifically, it can be set with reference to the rated frequency of the cluster array generator. The airflow velocity threshold is a preset airflow velocity threshold used to determine whether the actual airflow carrying capacity exceeds the normal range. Optionally, the airflow velocity threshold can be set based on cooling tower design parameters (e.g., fan rated velocity of 1.5-1.8 m / s) and acoustic agglomeration experiment results (e.g., insufficient agglomeration force after airflow velocity exceeds 1.8 m / s). The maximum sound pressure level is the upper limit of the safe operating sound pressure level of the cluster array generator; it can be set with reference to the rated sound pressure level of the cluster array generator. The average particle size threshold is a preset critical standard for the average particle size of water droplets, used to determine whether the overall size of the water droplets exceeds the normal range. The average particle size threshold can be determined through experimental statistics (e.g., an average droplet size of 0.5-0.7 mm under normal operating conditions).
[0139] It should be clarified that the calculation principle of the sound wave frequency is as follows: the sound wave frequency is adjusted to match the resonance requirements of the proportion of small-diameter water droplets and to compensate for the sound wave attenuation caused by the actual relative humidity. When the average droplet size is less than the average droplet size threshold, in order to make the small-diameter water droplets resonate effectively and coalesce, the sound wave frequency needs to be increased to match the natural vibration frequency of the small-diameter water droplets. When the actual relative humidity exceeds the relative humidity threshold, the high concentration of water vapor will cause the sound wave energy to scatter and attenuate, and the sound wave frequency needs to be further increased to maintain effective sound radiation pressure. The sound wave frequency calculation formula transforms these two physical requirements into specific sound wave frequency increments, and by taking the maximum value of the two to deal with the most unfavorable working conditions, and then taking the minimum value with the maximum sound wave frequency to lock in the safety upper limit, the sound wave frequency that can both ensure the coalescing efficiency of small-diameter water droplets and meet the equipment limits is finally determined.
[0140] The principle behind the sound pressure level calculation is as follows: When the actual airflow velocity exceeds the airflow velocity threshold, the carrying force of the airflow on the water droplets increases, requiring an increase in sound pressure level to increase sound wave energy and generate stronger sound radiation force to overcome the airflow drag. When the average droplet diameter is smaller than the average droplet diameter threshold, the water droplets are lightweight and have low inertia, making them easily dispersed with the airflow, necessitating a further increase in sound pressure level. The sound pressure level calculation formula transforms these two physical requirements into specific sound pressure level increments. By taking the maximum value of both to address the most unfavorable operating conditions, and then taking the minimum value of the two with the maximum sound pressure level to lock in the safety upper limit, the optimal working sound pressure level that overcomes environmental interference and meets the equipment limits is finally determined. The advantage of this approach is that by introducing a dual-factor discrimination of actual airflow velocity and average droplet diameter, the most unfavorable physical factors for agglomeration in humid and hot airflows can be accurately identified, and the maximum compensation sound pressure can be output specifically. At the same time, excessive output under normal operating conditions is avoided, and the sound pressure level is strictly limited to not exceeding the maximum sound pressure level.
[0141] In detail, the method for obtaining the particle size parameter includes:
[0142] The distribution height range of the humid and hot airflow is identified. Using the preset collection interval length, the distribution height range is divided into a sub-height ranges, and the humid and hot airflow is divided into a humid and hot airflow segments. The sub-height ranges correspond one-to-one with the humid and hot airflow segments.
[0143] In each of the a sub-height intervals, b preset detectors are deployed, wherein the b preset detectors are evenly distributed around the humid and hot airflow section corresponding to the sub-height interval.
[0144] At the preset acquisition time, a multiplied by b detectors are used to simultaneously detect the corresponding hot and humid airflow section and calculate a multiplied by b average particle size values, where each average particle size value corresponds one-to-one with a detector.
[0145] The average of a multiplied by b average particle size values is calculated to obtain the average particle size of the water droplet, which is then used as the particle size parameter.
[0146] Understandably, the distribution height range refers to the total vertical spatial range of suspended water droplets distributed in the humid and hot airflow within the tower. For example, assuming the water distribution system is located at 10 meters within the tower and the optimized water collector is located at 20 meters, the distribution height range is [10m, 20m]. The sub-height range is the vertical region obtained by dividing the distribution height range according to the length of the collection interval. For example, if the collection interval length is 2.5m, four sub-height ranges can be obtained: [10m, 12.5m], [12.5m, 15m], [15m, 17.5m], and [17.5m, 20m]. The humid and hot airflow segment is the local air-water droplet mixture flowing through the corresponding sub-height range. For example, the rising hot and humid mist containing a large number of unevaporated water droplets within the sub-height range [12.5m, 15m] is the humid and hot airflow segment corresponding to [12.5m, 15m]. The collection interval length is the benchmark for determining the accuracy of the vertical space division within the tower. Optionally, the length of the acquisition interval depends on the effective detection range of the detector (such as the depth of field of the laser beam or the height of the measurement area). The detector is a non-contact measurement device based on laser diffraction principles or optical imaging technology, used to detect the particle size distribution of water droplets in a humid, hot airflow within the tower. The acquisition time is a pre-set time for particle size detection using the detector.
[0147] In detail, the method involves using a x b detectors simultaneously to detect the corresponding humid and hot airflow section and calculating a x b average particle size values. Here, we take only one detector as an example: assuming the detector detects n water droplet sizes, the average particle size value corresponding to the detector is calculated based on the n water droplet size values. The average particle size value is shown below:
[0148]
[0149] in, This represents the average particle size value. Indicates shared ownership Each water droplet diameter Represents the size of multiple water droplets. The diameter of a water droplet.
[0150] It is understood that the average particle size value refers to the average particle size per unit volume surface area calculated by a certain detector within its monitoring field of view based on the Sotter average diameter algorithm. The average water droplet particle size is the water droplet particle size value calculated by combining the detection results of all detectors, used to characterize the degree of atomization of water droplets in the entire tower at the time of collection. The embodiments of the present invention dynamically correct the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level based on the real-time operating conditions of humid and hot airflow and particle size parameters, accurately matching the water droplet resonance and aggregation requirements, compensating for sound wave attenuation and overcoming airflow drag, thus achieving the best balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety and green energy saving in acoustic water collection technology.
[0151] S5. Compressed air is generated by the air compressor station. The compressed air drives the cluster array column generator and generates low-frequency sound waves according to the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level in the sound wave working parameters, thus obtaining a standing wave sound field.
[0152] Understandably, the compressed air is high-pressure gas generated by an air compressor station, which is the power source driving the cluster array column-type sound generator. The standing wave sound field is a stable sound field formed by low-frequency sound waves, which has fixed vibration characteristics and can drive water droplets to produce relative motion.
[0153] S6. Apply the standing wave sound field to the humid and hot airflow, causing large-diameter water droplets in the humid and hot airflow to collide and aggregate with small-diameter water droplets, resulting in aggregated water droplets.
[0154] It should be explained that the agglomerated water droplets are large water droplets formed after collision and aggregation (which are easy to fall under the influence of gravity, making them convenient for subsequent interception and recovery). The collision is a contact impact process caused by the difference in inertia between large and small water droplets under the action of a standing wave sound field. Agglomeration is the physical process by which large and small water droplets adhere to or condense after the collision, forming even larger water droplets.
[0155] S7. The target passivation parameter combination is identified, which includes the target passivation angle and the target passivation circumference radius. Based on the target passivation parameter combination, the agglomerated water droplets are intercepted by the passivation boundary baffle and guide plate in the optimized water collector to obtain recycled water. The recycled water is then transported to the cold water pool to realize the sound wave water collection based on the cluster array column generator.
[0156] Specifically, the identified target passivation parameter combination includes:
[0157] Multiple simulated passivation parameter combinations are set, where each simulated passivation parameter combination includes: simulated passivation angle and simulated passivation circumference radius;
[0158] For each of the multiple simulated passivation parameter combinations, perform the following operation:
[0159] An initial simulated cooling environment is constructed by setting the initial simulated cooling environment using the actual airflow velocity, average water droplet size, and simulated passivation parameters.
[0160] In the simulated cooling environment, simulated nodes were identified, including: the proportion of high-speed airflow, the simulated interception efficiency, and the simulated pressure difference. The simulated nodes correspond one-to-one with the simulated passivation parameter combinations.
[0161] If the proportion of the simulated high-speed airflow zone is less than the preset high-speed zone proportion threshold, the simulated interception efficiency is greater than the preset target interception rate, and the simulated pressure difference is less than the preset pressure difference threshold, the simulated passivation parameter combination is confirmed as a candidate passivation parameter combination, and the simulated node is confirmed as a candidate simulated node.
[0162] By summarizing the candidate passivation parameter combinations and candidate simulation nodes, one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations and one or more candidate simulation nodes are obtained, wherein the number of candidate passivation parameter combinations is greater than or equal to 1;
[0163] The target passivation parameter combination is identified using one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations and one or more candidate simulation nodes.
[0164] Understandably, the simulated passivation parameter combination is a set of parameters including the simulated passivation angle and the simulated passivation circumference radius. The simulated passivation angle is the included angle of the edge of the simulated passivation boundary baffle. For example, multiple passivation angles such as 30°, 60°, and 90° can be set. The simulated passivation circumference radius is the fillet radius of the edge of the simulated passivation boundary baffle. For example, multiple fillet radii such as 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.5mm can be set. The initial simulated cooling environment is a pre-constructed basic simulation environment used to replicate the actual operating scenario of the cooling tower. Optionally, the initial simulated cooling environment can be constructed using CFD simulation software. The simulated cooling environment is obtained by inputting actual operating condition data (actual airflow velocity, average water droplet size ≥100μm) and the simulated passivation parameter combination into the initial simulated cooling environment. The simulation node is a set of core performance indicators output from the simulated cooling environment, including the proportion of the simulated high-speed airflow zone, simulated interception efficiency, and simulated pressure difference. Optionally, the simulated nodes are obtained by using CFD simulation software to simulate the flow field and water droplet motion in the simulated cooling environment, and automatically calculating and outputting the simulated nodes. The simulated high-speed airflow region proportion is the ratio of the high-speed airflow region area to the total area of the water collector channel in the simulated cooling environment. The simulated interception efficiency is the proportion of water droplets intercepted by the baffle in the simulated cooling environment, representing the water collection effect. The simulated pressure difference is the airflow pressure difference before and after the baffle in the simulated cooling environment, characterizing the flow resistance.
[0165] Understandably, when the proportion of the simulated high-speed airflow is less than a preset high-speed airflow proportion threshold, the simulated interception efficiency is greater than a preset target interception rate, and the simulated pressure difference is less than a preset pressure difference threshold, it indicates that the corresponding simulated passivation parameter combination can simultaneously meet the requirements of smooth airflow, efficient interception, and low flow resistance under simulated cooling conditions. The high-speed airflow proportion threshold is a preset critical value. Optionally, the critical value can be set with reference to the smooth airflow requirement and in conjunction with experimental data. The target interception rate is a preset minimum interception efficiency requirement, which can be set according to the target water recovery rate of the cooling tower. The simulated pressure difference is a preset upper limit value for pressure difference to avoid excessive flow resistance affecting cooling tower ventilation; it can be set according to cooling tower operating standards. The candidate passivation parameter combination is a simulated passivation parameter combination that simultaneously meets the requirements of smooth airflow, efficient interception, and low flow resistance. The target passivation parameter combination is the optimal passivation parameter combination selected from multiple candidate combinations.
[0166] Furthermore, the step of identifying the target passivation parameter combination using one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations and one or more candidate simulation nodes includes:
[0167] The number of candidate passivation parameter combinations is determined from one or more candidate passivation parameter combinations to obtain the number of candidates;
[0168] If the number of candidates is 1, then the candidate passivation parameter combination is used as the target passivation parameter combination; otherwise, the following operation is performed on each of the multiple candidate passivation parameter combinations:
[0169] Using the aforementioned combination of candidate passivation parameters, the analysis simulation node is identified from multiple candidate simulation nodes;
[0170] The absolute difference between the proportion of high-speed airflow in the simulated node and the threshold value of the high-speed airflow is calculated to obtain the absolute difference of the high-speed airflow proportion. The ratio of the absolute difference of the high-speed airflow proportion to the threshold value of the high-speed airflow proportion is then calculated to obtain the high-speed airflow proportion value.
[0171] Calculate the absolute difference between the simulated interception efficiency and the target interception rate in the simulated node to obtain the absolute difference in interception rates, and calculate the ratio of the absolute difference in interception rates to the target interception rate to obtain the interception rate ratio;
[0172] Calculate the absolute difference between the simulated pressure difference in the simulated node and the pressure difference threshold to obtain the absolute pressure difference; calculate the ratio of the absolute pressure difference to the pressure difference threshold to obtain the pressure difference ratio.
[0173] The simulated ratio is obtained by adding the high-speed zone ratio, the interception rate ratio, and the pressure difference ratio.
[0174] By summing the simulation ratios, multiple simulation ratios are obtained, in which each simulation ratio corresponds one-to-one with the candidate passivation parameter combination and the candidate simulation node.
[0175] The maximum simulation ratio is identified from multiple simulation ratios, and the candidate passivation parameter combination corresponding to the maximum simulation ratio is taken as the target passivation parameter combination.
[0176] It should be understood that the number of candidates refers to the total number of all candidate passivation parameter combinations. The high-speed region ratio characterizes the degree to which the proportion of the simulated airflow in the high-speed region deviates from the high-speed region proportion threshold. A larger high-speed region ratio indicates a smoother airflow state, which is more effective in preventing the high-speed airflow from re-entraining agglomerated water droplets. The interception rate ratio characterizes the degree to which the simulated interception efficiency deviates from the target interception rate. A larger interception rate ratio indicates higher simulated interception efficiency, which can more efficiently capture water droplets after sound wave agglomeration. The pressure difference ratio characterizes the degree to which the simulated pressure difference deviates from the pressure difference threshold. A larger pressure difference ratio indicates a smaller simulated pressure difference, resulting in higher natural ventilation efficiency of the cooling tower. The simulation ratios are the sum of the high-speed region ratio, the interception rate ratio, and the pressure difference ratio, comprehensively characterizing the total degree to which the candidate passivation parameter combinations deviate from each threshold. The maximum simulated value is the largest simulated ratio among the simulated ratios corresponding to multiple candidate passivation parameter combinations. The larger the simulated ratio, the better the overall effect of the candidate passivation parameter combination in terms of smooth airflow (small proportion of high-speed zone), high water collection efficiency (high interception efficiency), and low flow resistance (small pressure difference).
[0177] In detail, based on the target passivation parameter combination, the method of intercepting agglomerated water droplets using the optimized passivation boundary baffles and guide plates in the water collector to obtain recycled water includes:
[0178] The target passivation boundary baffle is obtained by taking the target passivation angle of the target passivation parameter combination as the passivation angle of the passivation boundary baffle and taking the target passivation circumference radius of the target passivation parameter combination as the passivation circumference radius of the passivation boundary baffle.
[0179] The guide plate directs the hot and humid airflow. When the hot and humid airflow enters the target passivation boundary baffle, the agglomerated water droplets collide with the surface of the target passivation boundary baffle to obtain intercepted water droplets, which are then used as recycled water.
[0180] It should be explained that the target passivation angle is a parameter used to characterize the included angle of the edges of the target passivation boundary baffle. The target passivation circumferential radius is a parameter used to characterize the size of the fillet radius of the edges of the target passivation boundary baffle. The target passivation boundary baffle, with the included angle of its edges as the target passivation angle and the fillet radius of its edges as the target passivation circumferential radius, is the core component for achieving water droplet interception. The intercepted water droplets are agglomerated water droplets that collide with and are captured by the surface of the target passivation boundary baffle after being guided by the guide plate. The recovered water is recycled water that can be reused, mainly composed of the intercepted water droplets. This embodiment of the invention improves water collection efficiency by selecting a combination of target passivation parameters and reducing airflow velocity and flow resistance during the cooling process to prevent the re-entrainment of agglomerated water droplets.
[0181] To address the problems described in the background section, this invention obtains hot water to be treated. Utilizing a preset initial softening flow rate and m interval pairs, the hot water is input from the hot water inlet to a softening water treatment module. The softening water treatment module then performs ion removal treatment on the hot water to obtain softened water. This invention removes easily scale-forming ions from the hot water to be treated, preventing scale buildup in the cooling tower. During the softening process, the temperature-adaptation matching is monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure sufficient softening without damaging the softening water treatment module. This also improves subsequent acoustic water collection. Efficiency is the foundation. Softened water is fed into a cold water tank using a preset cooling flow rate. A water distribution system then transports the softened water above the heat dissipation material and sprays it to form a water film, resulting in a sprayed water film. Outside air is introduced through the tower's air inlet. The outside air and the sprayed water film exchange heat counter-currently within the heat dissipation material, evaporating the sprayed water film and producing a humid, hot airflow. This humid, hot airflow comprises multiple water droplets, which can be large or small in diameter. Therefore, this invention dynamically corrects the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level based on the real-time operating conditions and particle size parameters of the humid, hot airflow, precisely matching the resonance and aggregation of the water droplets. To address the needs, compensate for sound wave attenuation, and overcome airflow drag, this acoustic water harvesting technology achieves an optimal balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety, and green energy conservation. Based on the humid and hot airflow, the acoustic operating parameters are determined, including sound wave frequency and sound pressure level. Compressed air is generated using an air compressor station, which drives a cluster array of column-type sound generators. Low-frequency sound waves are generated based on the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level parameters, resulting in a standing wave sound field. This standing wave sound field is then applied to the humid and hot airflow, causing large-diameter water droplets to collide with small-diameter water droplets within the airflow. The water droplets agglomerate, and the target passivation parameter combination is identified. This target passivation parameter combination includes the target passivation angle and the target passivation circumference radius. Based on this target passivation parameter combination, the agglomerated water droplets are intercepted by the passivation boundary baffles and guide plates in the optimized water collector, resulting in recycled water. This recycled water is then transported to a cold water tank, achieving acoustic water collection based on a clustered array column-type sound generator. It is evident that this invention, by selecting the target passivation parameter combination, reduces airflow velocity and flow resistance during the cooling process to prevent the re-entrainment of agglomerated water droplets, thereby improving water collection efficiency. Therefore, this invention achieves a balance between high-efficiency water saving, equipment safety, and green energy saving in acoustic water collection technology.

[0184] The clustered array column-type sound generator and acoustic water collection system 100 described in this invention can be installed in an electronic device. Depending on the functions implemented, the clustered array column-type sound generator and acoustic water collection system 100 may include a softening pretreatment module 101, a spray heat exchange module 102, an acoustic agglomeration module 103, and an optimized water collection module 104. The module described in this invention can also be called a unit, referring to a series of computer program segments that can be executed by the processor of an electronic device and can perform a fixed function, stored in the memory of the electronic device.
[0185] The softening pretreatment module 101 is used to obtain the hot water to be treated. Using a preset initial softening flow rate and m interval pairs, the hot water to be treated is input from the hot water inlet to the softening water treatment module. The softening water treatment module performs ion removal treatment on the hot water to be treated to obtain softened water.
[0186] The spray heat exchange module 102 is used to input softened water into the cold water pool using a preset cooling flow rate, and to use the water distribution system to transport the softened water to the top of the heat dissipation material and spray it to form a water film, thereby obtaining a spray water film.
[0187] Outside air is introduced through the air inlet of the tower. The outside air and the spray water film exchange heat in a countercurrent manner in the heat dissipation material and then evaporate the spray water film to obtain a humid and hot airflow. The humid and hot airflow includes multiple water droplets, and the water droplets are either large-diameter or small-diameter.
[0188] The acoustic wave aggregation module 103 is used to determine the acoustic wave operating parameters based on the hot and humid airflow, wherein the acoustic wave operating parameters include acoustic wave frequency and sound pressure level.
[0189] Compressed air is generated by an air compressor station, which drives a cluster array column generator to generate low-frequency sound waves based on the sound wave frequency and sound pressure level in the sound wave operating parameters, thus obtaining a standing wave sound field.
[0190] When a standing wave sound field is applied to a humid and hot airflow, large water droplets in the humid and hot airflow collide with small water droplets and agglomerate, resulting in agglomerated water droplets.
[0191] The optimized water collection module 104 is used to identify the target passivation parameter combination, which includes the target passivation angle and the target passivation circumference radius. Based on the target passivation parameter combination, the passivation boundary baffle and guide plate in the optimized water collector are used to intercept the agglomerated water droplets to obtain recycled water. The recycled water is then transported to the cold water pool to realize the sound wave water collection based on the cluster array column generator.
