[0036] The following descriptions of the embodiments refer to the accompanying drawings to illustrate specific embodiments in which the present invention can be implemented.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a precooling heat exchange device for an evaporative condenser, which includes a housing 1, a V-shaped heat exchanger 3, a water baffle 2 and a main heat exchanger 4. The water baffle 2 is arranged in the housing 1 and divides the internal space of the housing 1 into an upper static pressure cavity 11 and a lower cavity 12. The upper static pressure cavity 11 is located above the lower cavity 12. The V-shaped heat exchanger 3 is arranged in the upper static pressure cavity 11, and the main heat exchanger 4 is arranged in the lower cavity 12. A steam inlet and a liquid outlet are provided on the outer surface of the housing 1. One end of the V-shaped heat exchanger 3 is connected to the steam inlet, one end of the main heat exchanger 4 is connected to the liquid outlet, and the other end of the main heat exchanger 4 is connected in series with the other end of the V-shaped heat exchanger 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, an air inlet pipe 13 is provided at the steam inlet, and the air inlet pipe 13 is connected to the V-type heat exchanger 3. A liquid outlet pipe 14 is provided at the liquid outlet, and the liquid outlet pipe 14 is connected to the main heat exchanger 4. When the evaporative condenser is working, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor from the compressor first enters the V-type heat exchanger 3 through the air inlet pipe 13, and after the V-type heat exchanger 3 performs sensible heat exchange with the low-temperature and high-humidity air in the upper static pressure cavity 11, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant changes from a superheated state to a saturated state through heat release in the V-type heat exchanger 3; the saturated refrigerant vapor enters the main heat exchanger 4 in the lower cavity 12 through the solenoid valve, exchanges heat with the water film and air, and changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state through heat release, and is finally discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 14.

[0039] The internal space of the box body 1 is divided into an upper static pressure cavity 11 and a lower cavity 12 by the water baffle 2, so that the upper space of the entire box body 1 can form an upper static pressure cavity 11, and the V-type heat exchanger 3 is arranged in the upper static pressure cavity 11. The water baffle 2 in the box body 1 can remove water droplets mixed in the rising airflow to prevent the V-type heat exchanger 3 from scaling; at the same time, the heat exchange coil in the V-type heat exchanger 3 is installed obliquely along the flow direction of the refrigerant. Compared with the general fin precooler, the heat exchange area of ​​the V-type heat exchanger 3 is larger. On the one hand, it is conducive to the shedding of condensed water during frost, and on the other hand, it is conducive to the flow of refrigerant and prevents the accumulation of lubricating oil; the performance of the evaporative condenser is greatly improved, and there are great changes in energy saving, water saving, delay of scaling, and the drifting of cooling water, etc., which improves the operating efficiency of the unit and achieves the requirements of high-efficiency energy saving and emission reduction. At the same time, the heat exchange area is increased, which can increase the scope of application, can be operated dry in winter, and can be used as an air-cooled evaporative type, so as to achieve "one machine for two uses". At present, evaporative condensers are mostly used in projects in the south. After this optimization, we can try to use this unit in the north, solving the previous regional limitations of evaporative condensers.

[0040] An air outlet is provided at the top of the box 1, and the air outlet is connected to the upper static pressure cavity 11. The precooling heat exchange device for the evaporative condenser also includes a fan 5, which is arranged at the air outlet. The air in the box 1 is discharged outward from the air outlet under the negative pressure of the fan 5 at the top, and the air flow speed is further increased through the fan 5, thereby further enhancing the heat exchange effect.

[0041] An air inlet is provided on the side of the box body 1, and the air inlet is communicated with the lower cavity 12. The precooling heat exchange device for the evaporative condenser also includes an air inlet grille 6, which is arranged at the air inlet.

[0042] Among them, the design of the V-shaped heat exchanger 3 makes the ventilation cross-sectional area there larger than the ventilation cross-sectional area of ​​the water baffle 2, so that the upper space of the upper box body 1 forms an upper static pressure cavity 11. When the water droplets not blocked by the water baffle 2 pass through, the potential energy becomes larger and the kinetic energy becomes smaller, and then the speed becomes slower, so as to achieve secondary separation of water vapor, which can reduce the drift and water mist of cooling water. The main source of noise of convective heat exchange equipment is wind speed. The higher the wind speed, the greater the noise. The air flow speed sucked by the air inlet grille 6 is about 3m / s. After entering the box body 1, the air flow speed is accelerated due to the sudden narrowing of the channel area, which can reach about 4m / s. After the rising air flow enters the upper static pressure cavity 11, the speed can be reduced to 2-2.5m / s, thereby realizing that the noise inside the pre-cooling heat exchange device for the evaporative condenser is very low. The wind resistance in the box body 1 is relatively small and there is enough space to install the fan 5. A 4-6 level low speed fan 5 can be used to achieve a device noise of less than 75dB.

[0043] In hot and humid working conditions in summer, the V-type heat exchanger 3 can pre-cool the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas. The water vapor through the water baffle 2 exchanges heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas on the surface of the heat exchanger, and the refrigerant releases heat to become a saturated gas-liquid two-phase body and flows into the main heat exchanger 4 in the lower cavity 12. After the water vapor absorbs heat, the relative humidity is further reduced. When the relative humidity is lower than the ambient temperature, fog-free discharge can be achieved, which can reduce the spread of Legionella. Moreover, the design temperature of this condenser is 35°C, which is lower than the cooling water temperature of 37-41°C for the growth of Legionella, and Legionella will not grow during operation. When operating dry in winter, the heat exchange area is increased due to the presence of the V-type heat exchanger 3, which makes up for the defect of insufficient heating capacity.

[0044] After a general evaporative condenser has been used for a long time, the scale of the sprayed part of the heat exchanger will be serious. The scaling time of the heat exchanger and the looseness of the scale mainly depend on the temperature of the cooled medium in the heat exchanger. The lower the temperature, the slower the scaling time and the lighter the scaling and looseness of the scale. In this embodiment, the cooling medium for heat exchange through the V-shaped heat exchanger 3 is water vapor. Since water vapor is cleaner, the scaling is lighter. Due to the existence of the V-shaped heat exchanger 3, the design condensation temperature of the main heat exchanger 4 is 35°C, that is, the evaporation temperature of the cooling water on the surface of the main heat exchanger 4 is 35°C, which can delay the scaling time.

[0045] In this embodiment, the air outlet is located in the middle area of ​​the top of the box body 1, and the bottom of the V-shaped heat exchanger 3 is arranged symmetrically in a V shape and faces away from the air outlet. Preferably, the V-shaped heat exchanger 3 is a fin tube precooling heat exchanger.

[0046] The precooling heat exchange device for the evaporative condenser also includes a circulation pipeline 7 and a spray device 8. The bottom of the lower cavity 12 has a water collection area 15. The spray device 8 is located above the main heat exchanger 4. One end of the circulation pipeline 7 is connected to the box body 1 and communicates with the water collection area 15. The other end of the circulation pipeline 7 is connected to the spray device 8, so that circulating cooling water is formed between the spray device 8, the water collection area 15, and the circulation pipeline 7. The cooling water in the box body 1 will be concentrated in the water collection area 15, and circulating cooling water will be formed between the spray device 8, the water collection area 15, and the circulation pipeline 7, so that the cooling water in the water collection area 15 will be sprayed toward the main heat exchanger 4 through the circulation pipeline 7 and the spray device 8, thereby improving the heat exchange effect with the main heat exchanger 4.

[0047] The circulation pipeline 7 is provided with a water pump 71. The water is sent to the spray device 8 through the water pump 71, and the nozzle of the spray device 8 evenly sprays the cooling water onto the outer surface of the heat exchange coil of the main heat exchanger 4. The water film that has not evaporated will fall into the box 1 for the next reuse.

[0048] The precooling heat exchange device for the evaporative condenser also includes a water supply pipe 9, which is connected to the housing 1 and communicates with the water collection area 15. Due to evaporation, the cooling water in the housing 1 is continuously reduced during use, and the concentration of salt ions in the cooling water increases accordingly, and the reduced water is supplemented through the water supply pipe 9.

[0049] The precooling heat exchange device for the evaporative condenser also includes a float valve 10, which is located in the housing 1, and one end of the float valve 10 is arranged in the water collection area 15, and the other end of the float valve 10 is connected to the water supply pipe 9 and is used to control the opening and closing of the water supply pipe 9. The opening and closing of the water supply pipe 9 is controlled by the float valve 10, so as to replenish the water in the housing 1, realize automatic operation control, and be more convenient to use, and have high safety and stability.

[0050] In this embodiment, compared with the water-cooled type, the evaporative cooling tower and water collection tank and other equipment are integrated with the condenser. The structure is more compact, and the modular installation makes it more convenient to use and arrange, the floor space is relatively small, the distance of water circulation is reduced, and the power consumption and operating cost of the water pump 71 are relatively low. The power consumption of the water pump 71 is equivalent to 1 / 8 to 1 / 4 of the water-cooled pump consumption. The amount of cooling water replenishment is relatively small, which is much less than the cooling water consumption of the water-cooled type. The circulating water volume is about one-fifth of the water-cooled type, and its one-time water consumption is about 5% to 10% compared with the water-cooled type.

[0051] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
