Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling tower equipment, in particular to a water suction bucket device capable of realizing low liquid level operation. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of industrial production scale, the demand for large-flow cooling tower equipment is also growing. Usually, the outlet pipe diameter of large-flow cooling tower is large (≥DN350). In order to achieve the normal operation of the cooling circulating water pump of the large-flow cooling tower, the cooling tower water collection tank often adopts the method of increasing the height of the water collection tank or changing the cooling tower outlet to the bottom of the water collection tank to avoid the circulation pump from sucking air and causing circulation pump cavitation and other faults.

[0003] Increasing the height of the water collection tank will increase the manufacturing cost of the cooling tower equipment. Generally, due to the large size of the large-flow cooling tower, the manufacturing cost pressure brought by increasing the water collection tank will be greater and relatively meaningless. At the same time, the large-capacity water collection tank will also increase the operating weight of the cooling tower, thereby placing higher requirements on the installation foundation of the cooling tower equipment. In addition, the large-capacity water collection tank will also increase the cost of adding chemicals and sewage discharge, and there are certain safety hazards in the production process.

[0004] Changing the outlet of the cooling tower to the bottom of the sump can reduce the above adverse effects, but it will cause the circulating water in the cooling tower sump to be unable to be discharged normally. Long-term operation will cause damage to the circulating pump and main equipment. Utility Model Content
