Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a vertical cooler and belongs to the technical field of fresh air systems. Background Art
[0002] Indirect evaporative coolers are an application of evaporative cooling technology. Usually, secondary air (indoor exhaust air) and spray water flow in the coil, and the cold air is transferred to the primary air outside the pipe (outdoor fresh air) through the pipe wall. The primary air is dehumidified, cooled, and then sent into the room to create a comfortable and constant temperature environment indoors.
[0003] At present, the horizontal layout is popular in the market. However, due to the secondary air and spray water running outside the pipe, the horizontal layout is prone to form dry spots on the leeward side of the heat exchange tube (that is, there is no spray water contact). At the same time, due to the existence of the upper heat exchange tube, the spray water drops on its surface and forms a bounce shape, which is not easy to evenly cover the surface of the heat exchange tube and affects the spray effect of the lower heat exchange tube. When the spray water flow rate is large, the coil is prone to vibration and the collision noise is large. In addition, since most coils are arranged in a regular triangle cross-row, the air flow channel is small, the resistance is large, and the windward side is prone to scaling, which affects the heat exchange effect.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a vertical indirect evaporative cooler to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] The tube side and the shell side are both provided with inlet and outlet pipes, and the spray water of the spray system 3 flows into the water collecting pan 4 through the tube side;
[0029] The inlet and outlet pipelines include a first inlet and outlet pipeline 15, a second inlet and outlet pipeline 16, a third inlet and outlet pipeline 17 and a fourth inlet and outlet pipeline 18. The upper and lower sides of the outer shell 9 are respectively fixedly installed with end panels, and the two ends of the pipeline are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower end panels of the outer shell 9, so that the shell side and the tube side are not connected. Through holes are provided at the corresponding positions of the upper and lower end panels of the outer shell 9 and the pipeline. The first inlet and outlet pipeline 15 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer shell 9, and the second inlet and outlet pipeline 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the lower end of the outer shell 9.

The vertical cross-section of the upper inner cavity of the water collecting pan 4 is a trapezoid, and the water collecting pan 4 is connected to the circulating water pump 2.

[0036] The heat exchange core 1 includes a vertical heat exchange tube group, which includes a plurality of vertical pipes arranged in an array. The pipes can be round pipes, elliptical pipes or twisted pipes, among which twisted pipes are preferably used.

The upper and lower sides of the outer shell 9 are respectively fixedly installed with end panels.

At the same time, the circulating water pump 2 is used to drive the cooling water in the spray water collection tray 4 located at the bottom of the indirect evaporative cooler into the spray system 3 located above the heat exchange core 1. Through the action of the spray system 3, the spray water is evenly sprayed on the inner surface of the heat exchange unit. The secondary air inside the heat exchange unit flows from bottom to top and exchanges heat with the spray water in opposite directions. The spray water film is disturbed by the flow of the secondary air, and the boundary layer is destroyed, which can enhance the heat and mass exchange effect. The primary air (i.e., outdoor fresh air) enters the heat exchange core 1 through the third inlet and outlet pipe 17, flows from bottom to top, exchanges energy with the spray water located in the heat exchange unit, and is finally sent to the room or other air treatment equipment through the fourth inlet and outlet pipe 18;

The heated spray water exchanges heat with the primary air through the heat exchange unit to increase the temperature of the primary air without causing a change in the moisture content of the primary air, that is, achieving isohumid heating. The heated primary air is sent indoors or to other air handling equipment, which can reduce the air conditioning load of the building.
