Abstract

The heat of the switching power supply of the electrolytic furnace is taken away through the heat exchange of the pure water cooling device to achieve the normal operation of the switching power supply equipment. When the cooling tower is in the process of external circulation cooling of the pure water cooling device, when the seasons change and the ambient temperature is low, even if the water temperature is very low, the fan motor will always be turned on, causing unnecessary energy loss. For example, Chinese patent CN217058421U is a cooling tower water supply energy-saving control device, which installs a temperature sensor in the pool and controls the speed of the three-phase asynchronous motor to change according to the actual temperature of the cooling water in the pool. The motor is still running all year round, but the motor frequency changes the motor speed to achieve partial energy saving effect.
[0003] During the actual circulation operation of the cooling tower, since the water contains calcium, magnesium ions, dissolved oxygen, etc., it is easy to form scale, which can easily cause blockage of the external circulation heat exchange plate of the pure water cooling device and affect the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower.

[0025] The pure water cooling device comprises a pure water cooling device 8 , a water outlet 10 , and a water inlet 11 ; the cooling tower 1 is connected to the pure water cooling device 8 via the water outlet 10 and the water inlet 11 .
[0026] Furthermore, it also includes an electronic valve 6, which is arranged on the drain outlet 7, and the electronic valve 6 is connected to the online conductivity detection 5 through a connecting line.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a water replenishment port 12, which is arranged at the bottom of the cooling tower 1. A float valve is arranged on the water replenishment port 12, and the opening and closing of the water replenishment port 12 is controlled by the float valve.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a pipeline pump 9 , which is arranged on the water inlet 11 .
[0029] The working process is as follows: the circulating water in the cooling tower 1 is transported from the water inlet 11 to the pure water cooling device 8 through the pipeline pump 9, heat exchange is carried out in the external circulation heat exchange plate of the pure water cooling device 8, the pure water in the pure water cooling device 8 is cooled, and then the circulating water in the pure water cooling device 8 is transported to the cooling tower 1 through the water outlet 10.
[0030] A thermocouple 4 is installed on one side of the bottom of the cooling tower 1. When the temperature exceeds 30°C, the cooling fan motor 2 is automatically turned on by the temperature control device 3 for heat dissipation. When the temperature drops to 20°C, the cooling fan motor 2 is automatically stopped by the temperature control device 3. The cooling fan motor 2 is controlled to start and stop by the temperature control device 3, which can save more than 40% of electricity and increase the service life of the cooling fan motor.
