[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1 The utility model is further described.
[0021] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an air compressor circulating cooling water supply and return system proposed by the utility model includes an air compressor 2, a cold water tank 6, a cold water pump 5 and a cooling tower 8. A cooling water inlet pipe 4 and a cooling water outlet pipe 7 are provided between the cold water tank 6 and the air compressor 2. The cold water pump is arranged on the cooling water inlet pipe 4, the cooling tower 8 is arranged on the cooling water outlet pipe 7, and the cooling tower 8 is arranged higher than the cold water tank 6.
[0023] In this embodiment, a cold dryer 3 is further provided. The compressed air outlet of the air compressor 2 is connected to the inlet of the cold dryer 3 through a pipeline. The cold dryer 3 cools down and removes water from the compressed air output by the compressor 2.
[0024] A sealed air compressor cooling water jacket 21 is provided on the outside of the air compressor 2, a cooling water inlet pipe 4 is sealedly connected to the cooling water inlet of the air compressor cooling water jacket 21, and a cooling water outlet pipe 7 is sealedly connected to the cooling water outlet of the air compressor cooling water jacket 21. A sealed cold dryer cooling water jacket 31 is provided on the outside of the cold dryer 3, a cooling water inlet pipe 4 is sealedly connected to the cooling water inlet of the cold dryer cooling water jacket 31, and a cooling water outlet pipe 7 is sealedly connected to the cooling water outlet of the cold dryer cooling water jacket 31.
[0025] The cooling water outlet of the cold dryer cooling water jacket 31 and the cooling water inlet of the air compressor cooling water jacket 21 are sealed and connected via a parallel outlet pipe 11, and the cooling water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the parallel outlet pipe 11, which is convenient for connection.
[0026] The cooling water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the air compressor cooling water jacket 21 through the first cooling water inlet pipe 41, and the cooling water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the cold dryer cooling water jacket 31 through the second cooling water inlet pipe 42. Valves are respectively provided on the first cooling water inlet pipe 41 and the second cooling water inlet pipe 42, and valves are also respectively provided at the ends of the parallel outlet pipe 11 connecting the air compressor cooling water jacket 21 and the cold dryer cooling water jacket 31.
[0027] A compressor is also provided in the nitrogen and hydrogen station 1, which completes the gas supply task together with the air compressor 2. The original underground water supply pipeline needs to be removed during maintenance. After the transformation, the nitrogen and hydrogen station 1 is connected to the cooling water inlet pipe through the third cooling water inlet pipe, and directly connected to the cold water pool 6 through the nitrogen station return pipe 12. The cooling water is directly sent back to the cold water pool 6 by the pressure of the cold water pump 5, and no longer cooled by the cooling tower 8, so that the cooling tower 8 can fully cool the cooling water of the air compressor 2 and the cold dryer 3, and the cooling water of the compressor in the nitrogen and hydrogen station 1 enters the cooling pool 6 for cooling.
[0028] At least one cooling grate 9 is also provided between the cooling tower 8 and the cold water pool 6. A support column 10 is provided in the cold water pool 6, and the cooling grate 9 is fixed to the upper end of the support column 10, which can further ensure the cooling of the cooling water of the air compressor 2 and the cold dryer 3.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of water holes 91 are provided on the cooling grate 9, and the diameter of the water holes 91 gradually increases from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the cooling grate 9. After the cooling water falls on the cooling grate 9, part of the cooling water flows downward through the water holes 91 into the cold water pool 6, and another part of the cooling water flows through the edge of the cooling grate 9 into the cold water pool 6.
[0030] In this embodiment, a separate water supply and return system is built for the air compressor 2 and the cold dryer 3, and the current open cycle is changed to a closed cycle, so that the air compressor 2 can be supplied with water independently, and the return water no longer enters the hot water pool when the open cycle is changed to a closed cycle, which is convenient for cold repair and reconstruction. During the cold repair process, the air compressor 2 does not stop during the removal and re-laying of the underground circulating water pipeline, which reduces power consumption and costs while ensuring safe gas supply, and is easy to promote.
[0031] The above-mentioned specific embodiments are only several optional embodiments of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention and the relevant inspiration of the above-mentioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above-mentioned specific embodiments.
