DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Embodiment 1

[0022] Combination Figure 1-Figure 5A closed cooling tower with a heat exchange tube with a turbulent device comprises a base 1 and a closed cooling tower 2. The closed cooling tower 2 comprises, from bottom to top, a water storage layer 201, a filter layer 202, a heat exchange layer 203, a spray layer 204 and an exhaust layer 205. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 6 are arranged in the heat exchange layer 203. The water inlet ends and the water outlet ends of the plurality of heat exchange tubes 6 are both connected with a diverter 7. The diverter 7 at the water inlet end of the heat exchange tube 6 is connected with an inlet pipe 8. The diverter 7 at the water outlet end of the heat exchange tube 6 is connected with an outlet pipe 9. The inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 both penetrate the heat exchange layer 203 of the closed cooling tower 2. The water storage layer 201 is connected with a water injection pipe 3 and a drain pipe 4. A filler 5 is fixedly arranged in the filter layer 202. A plurality of sprays are fixedly arranged in the spray layer 204. A shower pipe 16 is provided, and a plurality of sprinkler heads 17 are connected to the shower pipe 16. A pump 12 is fixedly provided on the base 1. A water inlet end of the pump 12 is connected to a water pumping pipe 13, and the water pumping pipe 13 is connected to the aquifer 201. A connecting pipe 14 is provided to the water outlet end of the pump 12. A three-way pipe 15 is connected to the connecting pipe 14. The three-way pipe 15 passes through the spray layer 204 and is connected to the plurality of spray pipes 16. A water-permeable membrane 18 is fixedly provided in the exhaust layer 205. An exhaust pipe 19 is connected to the exhaust layer 205. A fixed bracket 20 is fixedly provided in the exhaust pipe 19. An induced draft fan 21 is fixedly provided in the fixed bracket 20. A dust filter 22 is provided on the induced draft fan 21, and the dust filter 22 is fixedly provided in the exhaust pipe 19.

[0023] Specifically, the fluid enters through the water inlet pipe 8, is diverted by the diverter 7, and then enters multiple heat exchange tubes 6. When the fluid flows in the heat exchange tubes 6, the pump 12 is started to pump the soft water in the water storage layer 201 into the spray pipe 16, and is sprayed downward by multiple spray heads 17. After the heat exchange tubes 6 are sprayed and cooled, the soft water is filtered by the filler 5 and can fall back into the water storage layer 201, thereby realizing the recycling of soft water and reducing resource waste. The water vapor generated by the cooling is dehumidified by the water permeable membrane 18, and then guided by the induced draft fan 21 to be discharged to the outside. The dust filter 22 arranged on the exhaust pipe 19 can prevent external dust from entering the closed cooling tower 2. Embodiment 2

[0024] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is further obtained that a plurality of spoilers 10 are arranged in the heat exchange tube 6, and the plurality of spoilers 10 are arranged spirally along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 6. The shape of the spoiler 10 is trapezoidal, and the wide side of the spoiler 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 6, and the narrow side of the spoiler 10 faces the flow direction of the fluid, and a plurality of spoiler holes 11 are opened on the spoiler 10.

[0025] Specifically, the spoiler 10 in the heat exchange tube 6 is arranged in a spiral shape along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 6. The spoiler 10 is in a trapezoidal shape, with its wide side fixed to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 6 and its narrow side facing the flow direction of the fluid, so as to reduce the fluid resistance and guide the fluid to produce a rotating flow, thereby achieving the purpose of disturbing the fluid, reducing the energy consumption of the equipment, enhancing the turbulence of the fluid, and improving the heat exchange efficiency; through the arrangement of the spoiler holes 11 on the spoiler 10, the fluid will form turbulence at the edge of the spoiler holes 11 when passing through the spoiler 10. This turbulence can enhance the mixing degree of the fluid and improve the heat exchange or mass transfer efficiency. The spoiler holes 11 can promote the pressure balance of the fluid on both sides of the spoiler 10 within a certain range, thereby reducing the pressure fluctuation caused by the change of the kinetic energy of the fluid. The spoiler holes 11 can also help control the generation position and number of bubbles, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0026] In actual operation, the fluid enters through the water inlet pipe 8, and enters into a plurality of heat exchange tubes 6 after being diverted by the diverter 7. The spoiler 10 in the heat exchange tube 6 is arranged in a spiral shape along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 6. The spoiler 10 is in a trapezoidal shape, with its wide side fixed to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 6 and its narrow side facing the fluid flow direction to reduce fluid resistance. At the same time, when the fluid passes through the spoiler hole 11 on the spoiler 10, turbulence will be formed at the edge of the spoiler hole 11. This turbulence can enhance the mixing degree of the fluid and improve the heat exchange or mass transfer efficiency. The spoiler hole 11 can promote the pressure balance of the fluid on both sides of the spoiler 10 within a certain range, thereby reducing the pressure fluctuation caused by the change of the fluid kinetic energy.

[0027] When the fluid flows in the heat exchange tube 6, the pump 12 is started to pump the soft water in the water storage layer 201 into the spray pipe 16 and sprayed downward by multiple spray heads 17. After the heat exchange tube 6 is sprayed and cooled, the soft water can fall back into the water storage layer 201 after being filtered by the filler 5, so as to realize the recycling of soft water and reduce resource waste. The water vapor generated by cooling is dehumidified by the water permeable membrane 18 and then discharged to the outside through the guidance of the induced draft fan 21. The dust filter 22 arranged on the exhaust pipe 19 can prevent external dust from entering the closed cooling tower 2.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
