Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cooling tower operation and maintenance technology, and particularly relates to an intelligent operation and maintenance system and method for closed cooling towers based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] A closed-circuit cooling tower is a cooling device that integrates a tubular heat exchanger. It achieves cooling through air circulation and heat exchange between sprayed water and circulating water, ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the main equipment. Its closed-loop structure ensures water quality is not polluted and allows for adjustment of operating parameters according to environmental conditions, resulting in water conservation. In recent years, with the implementation of national energy conservation and emission reduction policies and the increasing scarcity of water resources, closed-circuit cooling towers have been widely used in industries such as power, metallurgy, aviation, chemical, machinery, and food. Taking ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission in the power sector as an example, the converter valve water cooling system is the core component ensuring the normal operation of the converter valve. It undertakes the critical tasks of heat dissipation and temperature control, removing the large amount of heat generated during valve operation and ensuring stable operation within a suitable temperature range, thereby guaranteeing the efficiency and reliability of the entire transmission system. In this system, the closed-circuit cooling tower, as a key component of the water cooling system, directly affects the cooling effect and even the safety of the converter valve and the transmission system. Therefore, timely and effective operation and maintenance checks of the closed-circuit cooling tower are crucial to effectively prevent equipment failure, extend equipment lifespan, and improve system operating efficiency.
[0003] However, the traditional operation and maintenance inspection methods for closed cooling towers mainly rely on manual periodic inspections and experience-based judgment. This method is not only inefficient and difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and rapid response, but it is also prone to missed inspections or misjudgments due to human factors, which increases the risk and cost of system operation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an intelligent operation and maintenance system and method for closed-loop cooling towers based on the Internet of Things.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:
[0006] Firstly, an intelligent operation and maintenance system for closed-loop cooling towers based on the Internet of Things is provided, including:
[0007] Data acquisition module, anomaly analysis module, anomaly alarm module, environmental analysis module, and operation and maintenance analysis module;
[0008] The data acquisition module is used to collect real-time environmental data and operating data of the closed cooling tower through an IoT sensor array deployed on the closed cooling tower. The environmental data is sent to the environmental analysis module, and the operating data is sent to the anomaly analysis module and the operation and maintenance analysis module.
[0009] The anomaly analysis module is used to compare and analyze operational data to determine whether there are any operational anomalies in the closed cooling tower.
[0010] The environmental analysis module is used to analyze and calculate the environmental impact index of the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower, and to determine whether there are any abnormalities in the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower based on the environmental impact index.
[0011] The operation and maintenance analysis module is used to obtain the operation and maintenance risk index of the closed cooling tower by combining the operation data with the environmental impact index when there are no abnormalities in the operation of the closed cooling tower and no abnormalities in the surrounding environment. The operation and maintenance risk index is used to determine whether the overall operation status of the closed cooling tower is abnormal.
[0012] The abnormal alarm module is used to send abnormal alarm information to the operation and maintenance terminal when the closed cooling tower has an abnormal operation, abnormal surrounding environment, or abnormal overall operation status, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can handle the abnormality of the closed cooling tower according to the abnormal alarm information.
[0013] Furthermore, the IoT sensor array includes IoT-based temperature sensors, wind speed sensors, air pressure sensors, flow sensors, and vibration sensors.
[0014] Furthermore, the surrounding environmental data includes the ambient temperature, ambient wind speed, and atmospheric pressure around the closed cooling tower.
[0015] The operating data includes the temperature of the heat exchange coils, the flow rate of the nozzles, and the vibration intensity of the fan blades in the closed cooling tower.
[0016] Furthermore, the system also includes:
[0017] The data preprocessing module is used to standardize the ambient temperature, ambient wind speed, atmospheric pressure, heat exchange coil temperature, nozzle flow rate, and fan blade vibration intensity values. The standardization process uses the Min-Max standard method, the expression of which is:
[0018] ;
[0019] in, These are the standardized data values. For the first The numerical value of the data type , For the first The minimum value of the same type of data in the class. For the first The maximum value of the same type of data.
[0020] Furthermore, the anomaly analysis module includes:
[0021] The operation anomaly judgment unit is used to parse the operation data to obtain the heat exchange coil temperature value, nozzle flow rate value, and fan blade vibration intensity value. It compares the heat exchange coil temperature value, nozzle flow rate value, and fan blade vibration intensity value with the corresponding preset temperature threshold, preset flow rate threshold, and preset vibration threshold, respectively. If one or more of the heat exchange coil temperature value, nozzle flow rate value, and fan blade vibration intensity value are greater than the corresponding threshold, then an operation anomaly is determined to exist; if none of them are greater than the corresponding threshold, then no operation anomaly is determined to exist.
[0022] The operation exception information sending unit is used to send operation exception information to the exception alarm module according to the operation exception.
[0023] Furthermore, the environmental analysis module includes:
[0024] The Environmental Impact Index (EIA) calculation unit is used to analyze surrounding environmental data to obtain ambient temperature, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure values, and then calculate the EIA using the EIA calculation formula. The formula for calculating the Environmental Impact Index is as follows:
[0025] ;
[0026] in, This is the ambient temperature value. This is the preset maximum ambient temperature value during the stable operation of the closed-loop cooling tower. This is the preset minimum ambient temperature value for the stable operation of a closed-loop cooling tower. This refers to the ambient wind speed value. To preset the standard wind speed value, This is the atmospheric pressure value. This is the preset maximum atmospheric pressure value during the stable operation of the closed cooling tower. The preset minimum atmospheric pressure value for the stable operation of a closed-circuit cooling tower; Environmental Impact Index The higher the value, the greater the impact of the surrounding environment on the operation of the closed-circuit cooling tower; Environmental Impact Index The smaller the value, the less the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower has an impact on its operation.
[0027] The surrounding environment anomaly judgment unit is used to obtain the preset environmental impact index. The preset environmental impact index will be used. Environmental Impact Index Compare; if Then it is determined that there is an anomaly in the surrounding environment; if If so, it can be determined that there is no abnormality in the surrounding environment;
[0028] The surrounding environment abnormality information sending unit is used to send surrounding environment abnormality information to the abnormality alarm module according to the surrounding environment abnormality.
[0029] Furthermore, the operations and maintenance analysis module includes:
[0030] The operation and maintenance risk index calculation unit is used to analyze operational data to obtain heat exchange coil temperature values, nozzle flow rates, and fan blade vibration intensity values, and to combine these with the environmental impact index. Substituting into the formula for calculating the operation and maintenance risk index, we obtain the operation and maintenance risk index. The formula for calculating the operation and maintenance risk index is as follows:
[0031] ;
[0032] in, This represents the average temperature of the heat exchange coil. This is the preset standard temperature value for the heat exchange coil. This is the nozzle flow rate value. To preset the maximum allowable flow rate of the nozzle, This represents the vibration intensity value of the wind turbine blades. This is the preset maximum allowable vibration intensity value for the wind turbine blades;
[0033] The comprehensive operational status anomaly judgment unit is used to obtain the preset operational risk upper limit threshold. and preset maintenance risk threshold ,when At that time, it was determined that the overall operating condition was good; when When, it is determined that the overall operating condition is not good; when At that time, it was determined that the overall operational condition was poor;
[0034] The comprehensive operation status abnormality information sending unit is used to send comprehensive operation status abnormality information to the abnormal alarm module when the comprehensive operation status of the closed cooling tower is poor or severe.
[0035] Secondly, an intelligent operation and maintenance method for closed-loop cooling towers based on the Internet of Things is provided, including:
[0036] By deploying an array of IoT sensors on the closed cooling tower, real-time data on the surrounding environment and the operation data of the closed cooling tower can be collected.
[0037] Comparative analysis of operational data is conducted to determine whether there are any operational abnormalities in the closed-loop cooling tower.
[0038] The environmental impact index of the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower is obtained by analyzing and calculating the surrounding environmental data. Based on the environmental impact index, it is determined whether there is any abnormality in the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower.
[0039] When there are no operational abnormalities in the closed-circuit cooling tower and no abnormalities in the surrounding environment, the operation and maintenance risk index of the closed-circuit cooling tower is obtained by comprehensive analysis based on the operation data and the environmental impact index. The operation and maintenance risk index is used to determine whether the overall operation status of the closed-circuit cooling tower is abnormal.
[0040] When a closed-circuit cooling tower experiences operational abnormalities, environmental anomalies, or overall operational status anomalies, it sends an alarm message to the maintenance terminal, enabling maintenance personnel to address the abnormality based on the alarm message.
[0041] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:
[0042] The data acquisition module continuously collects and standardizes the surrounding environment and key operating parameters of the closed cooling tower, ensuring the consistency and comparability of the data and laying the foundation for subsequent analysis.
[0043] The anomaly analysis module performs real-time comparative analysis of the operating data of key components of the closed cooling tower, such as heat exchange coils, nozzles, and fan blades, including temperature, flow rate, and vibration intensity. Once an anomaly is detected, an alarm is triggered immediately. This not only ensures the stable operation of core components but also prevents the spread of local faults through timely intervention, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the equipment.
[0044] The environmental analysis module quantifies the impact of external conditions on equipment operation by calculating the environmental impact index, enabling the system to dynamically adapt to environmental changes and providing a scientific basis for operation and maintenance decisions.
[0045] The operation and maintenance analysis module integrates operational data with environmental impact indices to generate an operation and maintenance risk index, realizing a shift from passive response to proactive prevention. This enables maintenance personnel to formulate differentiated maintenance strategies based on the overall operational status of the closed cooling tower, optimizing the allocation of maintenance resources and significantly reducing the risk of sudden downtime.
[0046] This technology addresses the issue that traditional closed-loop cooling tower maintenance and inspection mainly rely on manual periodic inspections and experience-based judgment, enabling real-time monitoring and rapid response, and avoiding the problems of missed inspections or misjudgments caused by human factors.

[0058] The operation and maintenance analysis module 104 is used to obtain the operation and maintenance risk index of the closed cooling tower by combining the operation data with the environmental impact index when there are no abnormalities in the operation of the closed cooling tower and no abnormalities in the surrounding environment. The operation and maintenance risk index is used to determine whether the overall operation status of the closed cooling tower is abnormal.
[0059] The abnormal alarm module 105 is used to send abnormal alarm information to the operation and maintenance terminal when the closed cooling tower has an abnormal operation, an abnormal surrounding environment, or an abnormal overall operation status, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can handle the abnormality of the closed cooling tower according to the abnormal alarm information.

[0067] The operation anomaly judgment unit 201 is used to parse the operation data to obtain the heat exchange coil temperature value, nozzle flow rate value, and fan blade vibration intensity value. It compares these values with corresponding preset temperature thresholds, preset flow rate thresholds, and preset vibration thresholds, respectively. If one or more of these values are greater than their corresponding thresholds, an operation anomaly is determined; if none are greater than their corresponding thresholds, no operation anomaly is determined. In other words, the preset temperature threshold, preset flow rate threshold, and preset vibration threshold are used to determine the operation anomaly. The threshold values are set in advance. The preset temperature threshold is the upper limit of the temperature that the heat exchange coil can withstand when the closed cooling tower is running. If the temperature of the heat exchange coil exceeds the preset temperature threshold, it indicates an abnormal operation. The preset flow threshold is the theoretical maximum flow rate of the nozzles when the closed cooling tower is running. If the nozzle flow rate exceeds the preset flow rate threshold, it indicates that the nozzles may be damaged, i.e., an abnormal operation. The preset vibration threshold is the upper limit of the vibration intensity that the fan blades can withstand when the closed cooling tower is running. If the vibration intensity of the fan blades exceeds the preset vibration threshold, the fan blades may be damaged, i.e., an abnormal operation.

[0070] The environmental impact index calculation unit 301 is used to analyze surrounding environmental data to obtain ambient temperature, ambient wind speed, and atmospheric pressure values, and to calculate the environmental impact index according to the environmental impact index calculation formula. The formula for calculating the Environmental Impact Index is as follows:
[0071] ;
[0072] in, This is the ambient temperature value. This is the preset maximum ambient temperature value during the stable operation of the closed-loop cooling tower. This is the preset minimum ambient temperature value for the stable operation of a closed-loop cooling tower. This refers to the ambient wind speed value. To preset the standard wind speed value, This is the atmospheric pressure value. This is the preset maximum atmospheric pressure value during the stable operation of the closed cooling tower. The preset minimum atmospheric pressure value for the stable operation of a closed-circuit cooling tower; Environmental Impact Index The higher the value, the greater the impact of the surrounding environment on the operation of the closed-circuit cooling tower; Environmental Impact Index The smaller the value, the less the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower has an impact on its operation.
[0073] The surrounding environment anomaly judgment unit 302 is used to obtain a preset environmental impact index. The preset environmental impact index will be used. Environmental Impact Index Compare; if Then it is determined that there is an anomaly in the surrounding environment; if If so, it can be determined that there is no abnormality in the surrounding environment;
[0074] The surrounding environment abnormality information sending unit 303 is used to send surrounding environment abnormality information to the abnormality alarm module 105 according to the surrounding environment abnormality.
[0075] The operation and maintenance analysis module 104 receives the operating data of the closed-circuit cooling tower and performs a comprehensive analysis and calculation based on the environmental impact index to derive the operation and maintenance risk index of the closed-circuit cooling tower.

[0076] The operation and maintenance risk index calculation unit 401 is used to analyze operating data to obtain heat exchange coil temperature values, nozzle flow rates, and fan blade vibration intensity values, and to combine them with the environmental impact index. Substituting into the formula for calculating the operation and maintenance risk index, we obtain the operation and maintenance risk index. The formula for calculating the operation and maintenance risk index is as follows:
[0077] ;
[0078] in, This represents the average temperature of the heat exchange coil. This is the preset standard temperature value for the heat exchange coil. This is the nozzle flow rate value. To preset the maximum allowable flow rate of the nozzle, This represents the vibration intensity value of the wind turbine blades. This is the preset maximum allowable vibration intensity value for the wind turbine blades;
[0079] The comprehensive operation status anomaly judgment unit 402 is used to obtain the preset operation and maintenance risk upper limit threshold. and preset maintenance risk threshold ,when At that time, it was determined that the overall operating condition was good; when When, it is determined that the overall operating condition is not good; when At that time, it was determined that the overall operational condition was poor;
[0080] The comprehensive operation status abnormality information sending unit 403 is used to send comprehensive operation status abnormality information to the abnormal alarm module when the comprehensive operation status of the closed cooling tower is poor or severe.
[0081] If the overall operating condition of a closed-circuit cooling tower is poor, it will trigger the abnormal alarm unit to send abnormal information to the operation and maintenance terminal. Staff need to develop a short-term maintenance plan (such as completing the inspection within 24 hours) to prevent the overall operating condition of the closed-circuit cooling tower from deteriorating further. If the overall operating condition of a closed-circuit cooling tower is severe, it will trigger the abnormal alarm unit to send abnormal information to the operation and maintenance terminal and issue an alarm, and staff will be dispatched immediately to inspect and maintain the closed-circuit cooling tower.

8. A method for intelligent operation and maintenance of closed-loop cooling towers based on the Internet of Things, characterized in that, include: The surrounding environmental data and the operating data of the closed cooling tower are collected in real time through an IoT sensor array deployed on the closed cooling tower. The operational data is compared and analyzed to determine whether the closed-loop cooling tower has any operational abnormalities. The environmental impact index of the surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower is obtained by analyzing and calculating the surrounding environmental data, and the presence of any abnormal surrounding environment of the closed cooling tower is determined based on the environmental impact index. When the closed cooling tower is not in operation and there is no abnormality in the surrounding environment, the operation and maintenance risk index of the closed cooling tower is obtained by comprehensive analysis based on the operation data and the environmental impact index. The operation and maintenance risk index is used to determine whether the overall operation status of the closed cooling tower is abnormal. When the closed-circuit cooling tower experiences operational abnormalities, environmental abnormalities, or overall operational abnormalities, it sends an alarm message to the maintenance terminal, enabling maintenance personnel to address the abnormality based on the alarm message.
