Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to a uniform water distribution device for a cross-flow cooling tower. Background Art
[0002] A cross-flow cooling tower is a cooling tower in which water flows vertically from the top of the tower, air flows horizontally through the water-sprinkling filler, and the airflow is orthogonal to the water flow. Inside the cooling tower, a large amount of water film is formed between the water and the air through the cooling filler, thereby increasing the contact area between the water and the air. When the air forms an airflow through the fan, heat and mass transfer will occur between the air and the water film, so that the heat in the hot water is transferred to the air, thereby achieving the cooling of the hot water.
[0003] Traditional cross-flow cooling towers generally distribute water through trough-type water distributors arranged on both sides of the tower. The outlet of the cooling tower's upper water pipe is arranged at one end of the trough-type water distributor. After entering the water, the cooling water flows from the water distribution hole near the outlet under the action of gravity through the water distribution hole to the cooling tower filler, and flows to the other far end. During the flow process, it continues to be distributed to the cooling tower filler through the water distribution hole it flows through.
[0004] In the above process, the liquid level in the water tank near the water inlet is often high, and the liquid level in the water tank at the far end is low. The flow rate through the water distribution holes is larger where the liquid level is high. If the water intake of the cooling tower is small, there may even be water distribution only at the near end, and no water flows at the far end, resulting in uneven water distribution in the filler, or even no water at one end. This phenomenon will lead to uneven water distribution in the cooling tower filler, unbalanced wind flow resistance in the filler, and more airflow will pass through the filler with less or no water, which will seriously affect the contact between the airflow and water in the filler and reduce the heat dissipation effect of the cooling tower.
