Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water cooling, and more specifically to a process cooling water system. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of automation in manufacturing enterprises, production lines are gradually weakening the reliance on the work intensity of operators to support production, and the continuous operation time of various equipment has been greatly extended. Among them, various large-scale host equipment has a large heat generation, and usually requires a specially configured process cooling water system to water-cool the equipment to maintain the efficient and stable long-term operation of various host equipment. There are various high-speed rotating equipment and high-frequency vibration equipment in the production lines of various manufacturing enterprises, which have huge heat generation. They rely on the "one-to-one" process cooling water equipment configured on each production line for cooling. The configuration of its cooling water preparation system is relatively simple, and the energy efficiency index is relatively low, which easily leads to high energy consumption costs. Therefore, it is of great significance to effectively cool down the equipment on various production lines, optimize the equipment refrigeration control, and achieve energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0003] The existing patent, publication number: CN215765511 U, a process cooling water energy-saving utilization system, proposes a process cooling water energy-saving utilization system, arranges a constant pressure make-up water device on the upper part of the cooling water supply device, saves head through gravitational potential energy, reduces the pressure of the process cooling water pump group to achieve energy-saving effect, and reduces energy consumption by seasonal switching of plate heat exchangers. For example, when working in winter, only the first process cooling water plate heat exchanger is started, and the cooling water entering the first process cooling water plate heat exchanger through the cooling water return water supply device is heat exchanged with the workshop return water entering the first process cooling water plate heat exchanger through the constant pressure make-up water device to provide the production workshop with cooling water with a lower temperature. For example, when working in summer, only the second process cooling water plate heat exchanger is started, and the chilled water entering the second process cooling water plate heat exchanger through the chilled water return water supply device is heat exchanged with the workshop return water entering the second process cooling water plate heat exchanger through the constant pressure make-up water device to provide the production workshop with cooling water with a lower temperature.

[0004] However, the plate heat exchanger itself has high manufacturing requirements and high cost. Due to the small gap between the heat transfer surfaces, the narrow channels between the plates, and the unevenness on the heat transfer surfaces, the pressure loss per unit length is large and it is easy to get clogged, resulting in high energy consumption and high cost.

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the energy consumption problem of the existing process cooling water system, the utility model provides a process cooling water system which is cost-saving and low in energy consumption. Utility Model Content
