Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of novel energy-saving direct evaporative cooling, in particular to a composite multi-stage evaporative cooling air unit. Background Art
[0002] my country has a vast territory, and the climate varies greatly in different regions. Compared with the hot and humid climate in the coastal areas in summer, the hot and dry areas in the northwest in summer can make full use of direct evaporation technology to provide cold air, but the cold air temperature provided by direct evaporation is often 2 to 5°C higher than the wet-bulb temperature of the incoming air. If a lower air supply temperature is required, it is more difficult. On the other hand, if direct evaporative cooling is used, multiple spraying is required to achieve a lower air supply temperature, and the moisture content in the air supply is high. In some scenarios, such as cooling of tall factories or industrial buildings, high humidity is not conducive to the application scenario.
[0003] At present, the air conditioning technology of evaporative cooling to produce cold air has been widely used in the low-humidity environment of the northwest. In the southeastern coastal areas of my country, due to the high relative humidity of the air and the restrictions of outdoor meteorological conditions, it is not easy to achieve stable working conditions by simply using evaporative cooling, or it is not applicable to occasions with special requirements for air supply temperature and humidity. New technologies are urgently needed to expand the use of natural energy. Utility Model Content

[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.
[0022] See also Figure 1 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A composite multi-stage evaporative cooling air unit, characterized in that it includes a fresh air pre-cooling section, a first indirect evaporative cooling section, a second indirect evaporative cooling section, a fresh air re-cooling section, a direct evaporative cooling section and a blower section, and the above-mentioned functional sections are all combined in a box 29.
[0024] The fresh air precooling section includes an air inlet 1, a primary filter 2 and a precooling fin heat exchanger 3. In the precooling section, the fresh air is filtered by the primary filter 2 and enters the precooling fin heat exchanger 3, and exchanges heat with the cold water that enters the precooling fin heat exchanger 3 through the precooling heat exchange pipeline 28 under the action of the precooling circulation pump 27. After the fresh air is cooled by isohydrophilic cooling, it enters the first indirect evaporator.
[0025] The first indirect evaporative cooling section includes the first indirect evaporative spray row 4, the first indirect evaporative exhaust port 5, the first indirect evaporative fan 6, the first indirect evaporative air-to-air heat exchanger 21, the indirect evaporative spray solenoid valve 24, the drain valve 25, the indirect evaporative water tank 26, etc. After the precooled fresh air enters the first indirect evaporative air-to-air heat exchanger 21, it exchanges heat and mass with the cold water sprayed from the indirect evaporative spray pipe 23 in the first indirect evaporative spray row 4. After the cold water evaporates, it takes away the heat of the fresh air to cool the fresh air. The generated water vapor is discharged from the first indirect evaporative exhaust port 5 with part of the fresh air as the working airflow under the action of the first indirect evaporative fan 6. The unevaporated water falls into the indirect evaporative water tank 26, and the indirect evaporative water tank 26 can be regularly drained through the drain valve 25. The indirect evaporative spray pipe 23 is connected to the indirect evaporative spray solenoid valve 24, and the spraying water volume can be controlled by controlling the start time period of the indirect evaporative spray solenoid valve 24.
[0026] The second indirect evaporative cooling section includes a second indirect evaporative spray row 9, a second indirect evaporative exhaust port 7, a second indirect evaporative fan 8, and a second indirect evaporative air-to-air heat exchanger 20. After precooling and cooling in the first indirect evaporator, the fresh air enters the second indirect evaporative air-to-air heat exchanger through the second indirect evaporative airflow channel 22, and exchanges heat and mass with the cold water sprayed from the second indirect evaporative spray row 9 by the indirect evaporative spray pipeline 23. After evaporation, the cold water takes away the heat of the fresh air to cool the fresh air. The generated water vapor is discharged from the second indirect evaporative exhaust port 7 with part of the fresh air as the working airflow under the action of the second indirect evaporative fan 8. The unevaporated water falls into the indirect evaporative water tank 26, and the indirect evaporative water tank 26 can be regularly discharged through the sewage valve 25.
[0027] The fresh air re-cooling section and direct evaporative cooling section include a re-cooling fin heat exchanger 10, a direct evaporative spray pump 18, and a direct evaporative spray pipeline 19. After filtering, pre-cooling, primary indirect evaporative cooling, and secondary indirect evaporative cooling, the fresh air exchanges heat with the cold water that enters the re-cooling fin heat exchanger 10 through the direct evaporative spray pipeline 19 under the action of the direct evaporative spray pump 18. After the fresh air is cooled by isohumidity, it enters the direct evaporative cooling filler 12. The cold water after the fresh air is re-cooled enters the direct evaporative spray row 11 through the direct evaporative spray pipe 19 and is sprayed to the direct evaporative cooling filler 12 for direct evaporative cooling, completing the final humidification and cooling of the fresh air and entering the air supply section. The unevaporated cold water falls into the direct evaporative water tank 17 and participates in the circulation again. The direct evaporative water tank 17 is also provided with a water replenishment solenoid valve 16, which is used to replenish water in time according to the water level of the direct evaporative water tank 17.
[0028] The blower section includes a blower 14 and an air outlet 15. The fresh air, which has undergone four indirect heat exchanges and one direct evaporation cooling, is delivered from the air outlet 15 to a user who uses cooling under the action of the blower 14.
[0029] The direct evaporative cooling filler 12 can be formed by alternately stacking PVC sheets, high-strength anticorrosive and flame-retardant corrugated cardboard sheets, etc. The sheet spacing is designed to be 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, etc. The sheets are alternately stacked to form a cube or a cuboid.
[0030] The working principle of the utility model is:
[0031] Fresh air enters the unit and is first precooled by the precooling fin heat exchanger. A part of the cooled fresh air exchanges heat and mass with the cold water from the first indirect evaporative spray row in the first indirect evaporator. After the cold water evaporates, it takes away the heat of the fresh air to cool the fresh air. The generated water vapor is discharged with part of the fresh air as the working airflow. The remaining part of the fresh air exchanges heat and mass with the cold water from the second indirect evaporative spray row. After the cold water evaporates, it takes away the heat of the fresh air to regenerate and cool the fresh air. The generated water vapor is discharged with part of the fresh air as the working airflow. The fresh air after two coolings is recooled by the recooling fin heat exchanger and directly evaporated and cooled as supply air, and is delivered to the user under the action of the blower. This unit is equivalent to part of the fresh air undergoing four indirect evaporative coolings and one direct evaporative cooling, which can obtain fresh air with a temperature lower than the dew point temperature of the fresh air. Then, through direct evaporative cooling and humidification, low-temperature supply air that meets the use requirements can be obtained. The system has significant energy-saving effects and is very practical.
