DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] The present application embodiment discloses a water-saving cooling tower, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, including a tower body 1, an exhaust device 2 is installed on the top of the tower body 1, and a water tank 3 is installed at the bottom of the tower body 1. An air inlet 11 is opened on the side wall of the tower body 1, a cooling tower packing layer 4 is arranged above the air inlet 11 in the tower body 1, and a drain pipe 5 for discharging hot water is installed above the cooling tower packing layer 4. A first condensing device 6 for reducing the temperature of hot water in the drain pipe 5 is installed on the tower body 1, and a second condensing device 7 is also installed above the water outlet of the drain pipe 5 in the tower body 1.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, the cooling tower packing layer 4 can be made of PVC honeycomb packing. The hot water in the drain pipe 5 can be cooled and cooled by the first condensing device 6, and then the cooled hot water is discharged from the drain pipe 5 to the cooling tower packing layer 4; the exhaust device 2 at the top of the tower body 1 can draw cold air from the outside into the tower body 1, so that it can exchange heat with the hot water when passing through the cooling tower packing layer 4, and become hot and humid air carrying a large amount of water; then, the hot and humid air rises and passes through the second condensing device 7, and can be condensed and cooled again, so that a large amount of water in the hot and humid air can condense into water droplets and flow back downward, and only a small amount of water can be discharged with the hot air. The cooling tower of the present application can not only play a certain role in defogging to improve the slippery condition of the road surface, but also has the effect of saving water resources.

[0021] Specifically, the first condensing device 6 includes a refrigerating box 61, which is bolted to the outer wall of the tower body 1. The drain pipe 5 passes through the refrigerating box 61 and is bent inside the refrigerating box 61 to form a coil 51. A plurality of first heat sinks 62 are bolted to the side of the refrigerating box 61 away from the tower body 1. A first vent 611 communicating with the inside of the refrigerating box 61 is provided on one side of the tower body 1. A second vent 612 is provided at the bottom of the refrigerating box 61. The first vent 611 is located above the second condensing device 7.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present application, when the exhaust device 2 draws outside air into the tower, part of the outside air can flow to the first vent 611 through the second vent 612, and take away the heat of the hot water in part of the coil 51, and then mix with the hot air carrying a small amount of moisture in the tower body 1 above the second condensing device 7, and exhaust together. The hot air inside the tower body 1 that passes through the second condensing device 7 still carries a small amount of moisture, while the air that passes through the refrigeration box 61 is dry hot air. The mixture of the two can further dilute the moisture concentration in the air, thereby increasing the defogging effect of the cooling tower.

[0023] Specifically, the second condensing device 7 includes a plurality of parallel heat dissipation tubes 71, which horizontally pass through the side wall of the tower body 1 and are located above the water outlet of the drain pipe 5. The portion of the heat dissipation tube 71 located inside the tower body 1 has a plurality of second heat dissipation fins 72 inserted on its outer wall, and one end of the plurality of heat dissipation tubes 71 is connected to a ventilation device 73.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, the ventilation device 73 may adopt a heat dissipation fan, and the heat dissipation fan may accelerate the air flow rate in the heat dissipation pipe 71, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the second heat sink 72.

[0025] Furthermore, the portion of the drain pipe 5 located inside the tower body 1 is composed of a plurality of parallel branch pipes 52, and a plurality of nozzles for spraying hot water to the cooling tower packing layer 4 below are evenly spaced along the axial direction on the outer wall of the branch pipe 52. In this way, the water outlet area of ​​the drain pipe 5 can be increased, so that the hot water can be evenly sprayed to the cooling tower packing layer 4 below, so as to fully exchange heat with the air.

[0026] Furthermore, the second fins 72 are bent and extended in the vertical direction, and the second fins 72 on the side walls close to each other on two adjacent heat pipes 71 are staggered. In this way, the heat dissipation area of ​​the second fins 72 can be increased, and the condensation effect on the humid hot air can be further improved.

[0027] Specifically, the exhaust device 2 includes an exhaust fan and a drive motor 21. An air outlet is provided at the top of the tower body 1. The exhaust fan is rotatably arranged at the air outlet. The drive motor 21 is installed at the top of the tower body 1 and is transmission-connected to the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan can be driven to rotate by starting the drive motor 21.

[0028] Since the cooling tower is usually installed on the roof and exposed to the outdoors, in order to prevent some foreign matter from entering the air outlet, a protective cover 8 is installed on the top of the tower body 1 above the air outlet. When installing the protective cover 8, the staff must consider its height from the air outlet and must not affect the air discharge in the tower body 1.

[0029] The implementation principle of a water-saving cooling tower in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the hot water in the drain pipe 5 can be cooled and lowered through the first condensing device 6, and then the cooled hot water is discharged from the drain pipe 5 to the cooling tower packing layer 4; the exhaust device 2 at the top of the tower body 1 can draw cold air from the outside into the tower body 1, so that it exchanges heat with the hot water when passing through the cooling tower packing layer 4, and becomes hot and humid air carrying a large amount of water; then, the hot and humid air rises and passes through the second condensing device 7, and can be condensed and cooled again, so that a large amount of water in the hot and humid air can condense into water droplets and flow back downward, and only a small amount of water can be discharged with the hot air. It can not only play a certain role in defogging to improve the slippery condition of the road surface, but also has the effect of saving water resources.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention. Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
