DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 An energy-saving FRP cooling tower comprises a support 1, a tower body mechanism and a sprinkler mechanism. Ring seats 2 are fixedly mounted on four support columns 1. The support columns 1 provide support for the device. A FRP tower body 3 is fixedly mounted on the ring seat 2. The FRP tower body 3 is an inverted conical cylindrical tower body. A connecting column 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the upper end of the FRP tower body 3. A tower top mechanism is fixedly mounted on the upper ends of three connecting columns 4. A water storage dish 8 is arranged directly below the ring seat 2. The water storage dish 8 is connected with a cold water pipe 9. The cold water pipe 9 is used to discharge the cooling water in the water storage dish 8 and form a water circulation with the hot water transported by the hot water pipe 7. The hot water pipe 7 passes through the FRP tower body 3 and extends to the inside thereof. The right side of the FRP tower body 3 is connected with a hot water pipe 7. A sprinkler cooling mechanism and a reflux mechanism are arranged inside the FRP tower body 3.
[0022] In this embodiment, the tower body structure includes an L-shaped support 5 and a FRP tower top 6. The FRP tower top 6 is fixedly installed on the L-shaped support 5. The L-shaped support is arranged in a circular ring. The L-shaped support 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting column 4. The FRP tower top 6 is a conical top cap. The inner inclined surface of the FRP tower top 6 increases the contact area, so that the water vapor discharged from the upper end of the FRP tower body 3 is easier to be cooled and liquefied, and the water droplets formed by liquefaction slide along the inclined surface to the L-shaped support 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, the sprinkler mechanism includes a first leg 10, a sprinkler plate 11, a second leg 13, an annular hoop 14, a pressurizing pipe 15 and a sprinkler pipe 16. The sprinkler plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the first leg 10. The sprinkler plate 11 is evenly provided with through holes 12. A plurality of first legs 10 are fixedly mounted on the ring seat 2. A plurality of first legs 10 are evenly distributed around the sprinkler plate 11 to provide a stable support for the sprinkler plate 11. The second leg 13 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the glass fiber reinforced plastic tower body 3. The sprinkler pipe 16 is evenly installed around the booster pipe 15, the annular hoop 14 is fixedly installed on the second leg 13, the booster pipe 15 is sleeved on the inner side of the annular hoop 14, and the two ends of the booster pipe 15 are respectively connected with the hot water pipe 7 and the sprinkler pipe 16. The diameter of the booster pipe 15 is smaller than the diameter of the hot water pipe 7. Therefore, the water flow will increase the flow rate when passing through the booster pipe 15, and form a spraying effect when passing through the sprinkler pipe 16, which fully increases the contact area between the hot water and the air, thereby generating a large amount of water vapor to take away the heat in the hot water.
[0024] In this embodiment, the reflux mechanism includes a reflux pipe 17, the lower part of which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the FRP tower body 3, a through groove 18 is provided at the L-shaped support 5 corresponding to the position of the reflux pipe 17, the lower end of the reflux pipe 17 is located above the sprinkler plate 11, the lower end of the through groove 18 is connected to the reflux pipe 17, the upper part of the reflux pipe 17 passes through the connecting column 4 and extends to the lower end of the L-shaped support 5, a filter screen 19 is installed at the upper end of the through groove 18, the setting of the filter screen 19 effectively prevents the upper end of the through groove 18 from being blocked, thereby ensuring that the path of the reflux water is unobstructed, and the through groove 18 is set at the lowest point of the L-shaped support 5, so as to facilitate the condensed water to converge and be discharged from the through groove 18 into the reflux pipe 17, and finally flow into the water storage dish 8.
[0025] In the utility model, when in use, the water used for cooling the equipment in the factory becomes hot water under the operation of the equipment, enters the glass fiber reinforced plastic tower body 3 through the hot water pipe 7, and is pressurized by the booster pipe 15, and finally sprinkled out in the sprinkler pipe 16. In the process of sprinkling, the water flow is fully in contact with the air to form a large amount of water vapor, which takes away the heat in the hot water and preliminarily reduces the temperature of the hot water. The sprinkled water falls on the sprinkler plate 11, and the water flow collected on the sprinkler plate 11 is further divided into several water flows through the through hole 12, which are once again fully in contact with the air to generate water vapor to take away the heat in the water flow. At this time, the second cooling is completed, and then the water flow falls into the water storage dish 8 and starts to cool down. Since the contact area between water and air is only the cross-sectional area of the inner circle of the water storage dish 8, the cooling rate is not fast at this time. The main cooling is through the first two cooling processes, and after the first two cooling processes, the water from the hot When the hot water spilled from the water pipe 7 flows into the water storage dish 8, its temperature is greatly reduced. At the same time, the water vapor formed in the cooling process is discharged through the upper end of the FRP tower body 3, continues to rise, and contacts the FRP tower top 6 above. Since the FRP tower top 6 has a large area and contacts with the air circulating from the outside, the heat carried on it will be quickly taken away by the circulating air. When the water vapor contacts the upper end of the inner part of the FRP tower top 6, it is cooled and liquefied. The water droplets formed by liquefaction slide along the inclined surface of the FRP tower top 6 to the L-shaped support 5. Since the through groove 18 is set at the lowest point of the L-shaped support 5, the water flow in the L-shaped support 5 is gathered and discharged from the through groove 18 into the reflux pipe 17, and finally flows back to the water storage dish 8 from the lower port of the reflux pipe 17. The water that has completed cooling in the water storage dish 8 flows back from the cold water pipe 9 to the factory to continue to dissipate heat for the equipment. The whole process forms a water cycle. The above is the working process and principle of the utility model. The utility model disperses and sprinkles the hot water in the hot water pipe 7 through the sprinkler mechanism, fully contacts with the air, and is convenient for generating a large amount of water vapor, taking away a large amount of heat in the hot water, and accelerating the heat dissipation rate of the hot water. Through the combination of the tower top mechanism and the reflux mechanism, the water vapor discharged from the top of the fiberglass tower body 3 is liquefied and refluxed into the water storage dish 8, avoiding the waste of water resources and making the device more energy-saving.
