Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to a wet curtain anti-blocking structure for a cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] A cooling tower is an evaporation cooling device that uses water as a circulating coolant. Utilizing the difference in horizontal pressure in the air, heat and mass transfer occur through the contact between water and air flow. Water evaporates and absorbs heat to become water vapor, thereby reducing the temperature of the cooling water.

[0003] In the prior art, during the operation of a cooling tower, air needs to be continuously introduced from the outside. The cooling water flows down through the packing inside the cooling tower from top to bottom, and the air passes through the packing from bottom to top. Heat exchange occurs between the two at the packing. In some areas with relatively dry climates and more sandy dust air, the dry climate can improve the performance of the cooling tower and increase the internal heat exchange efficiency, but it will increase water consumption. At the same time, the sandy dust weather will cause the packing inside the cooling tower to scale and even become blocked. Sediment will also accumulate in the water collecting tray, leading to the growth of microorganisms and deteriorating the quality of the cooling water. Summary of the Utility Model

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the above technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail through the following embodiments:

[0031] A wet curtain anti-blocking structure for a cooling tower, comprising:

[0032] Cooling tower 1, the cooling tower 1 includes a chassis 11, air inlets 12 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the chassis 11, an exhaust fan 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the chassis 11 by bolts, and an exhaust hood 14 is fixedly installed above the exhaust fan 13 by bolts. The exhaust fan 13 is used to discharge the steam inside the chassis 11.

[0033] When the exhaust fan 13 works, it can discharge the air inside the chassis 11, and the exhaust hood 14 is used to limit the flow direction of the discharged air.

[0034] At the bottom of the chassis 11, a water collecting tray 15 is welded. On the left side of the water collecting tray 15, a water inlet pipe 16 is welded. The water inlet pipe 16 passes through the water collecting tray 15 and extends into the chassis 11. On the right side of the water collecting tray 15, a drain pipe 17 is welded.

[0035] The water inlet pipe 16 is used to inject high-temperature cooling water into the chassis 11. The water collecting tray 15 is used to hold the cooled cooling water. The drain pipe 17 is used to discharge the low-temperature cooling water.

[0036] An air inlet assembly 2, the air inlet assembly 2 is fixedly installed outside the air inlet 12. The air inlet assembly 2 includes an air guiding fan 21. The air guiding fan 21 is used to blow air into the air inlet 12. The front end of the air guiding fan 21 is connected to a dust removal assembly 3 through a first air duct 23;

[0037] The air guiding fan 21 is used to blow air into the air inlet 12.

[0038] On the front and rear sides of the air guiding fan 21, flow guiding covers 22 are fixedly installed by bolts. The rear flow guiding cover 22 is fixedly connected to the air inlet 12 by bolts. The front flow guiding cover 22 is connected to the first air duct 23 by bolts.

[0039] The flow guiding cover 22 is used to restrict the air flow direction.

[0040] Inside the first air duct 23, two groups of insertion slots 24 are welded. Inside each group of insertion slots 24, a terminal filter screen 25 is slidably installed. The side of the terminal filter screen 25 passes through the first air duct 23.

[0041] The terminal filter screen 25 is used to filter the air. The air guiding fan 21 is provided to increase the air flow rate, eliminate the obstruction of the terminal filter screen 25 to the air flow, and ensure the air intake volume.

[0042] The terminal filter screen 25 can be pulled out from the first air duct 23, which is convenient for replacement and cleaning.

[0043] The dust removal assembly 3 includes a dust removal box 31. Inside the dust removal box 31, a number of dust blocking louvers 33 are rotatably installed. The dust blocking louvers 33 pass through the dust removal box 31 and are connected to an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly is used to adjust the angle of the dust blocking louvers 33. At the front end of the dust removal box 31, a second air duct 37 is provided. Above the second air duct 37, it is connected to the exhaust hood 14 through a return air duct 39.

[0044] The suction force generated by the air guiding fan 21 can be transmitted along the dust removal box 31 to the second air duct 37, forming a negative pressure at the second air duct 37.

[0045] A number of dust blocking louvers 33 are arranged vertically in a group. There are gaps between adjacent dust blocking louvers 33. The dust blocking louvers 33 form a certain angle with the vertical direction.

[0046] Air enters the second air duct 37 from the outside and is then blocked by the dust-blocking louvers 33. In order to bypass the dust-blocking louvers 33, the airflow direction changes rapidly. Due to inertia, the heavier dust particles collide with the dust-blocking louvers 33 and are separated from the airflow. After being blocked by multiple groups of dust-blocking louvers 33, most of the dust particles are removed from the airflow. The airflow enters the first air duct 23 and is filtered by the end filter screen 25.

[0047] A dust discharge pipe 32 is fixedly installed below the dust removal box 31 by bolts, and the dust-blocking louvers 33 are located above the dust discharge pipe 32.

[0048] The dust particles blocked by the dust-blocking louvers 33 will fall into the dust discharge pipe 32 and then be discharged.

[0049] The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment motor 34. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 34 is connected with a synchronous belt drive device 35. The synchronous belt drive device 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the dust-blocking louvers 33. A protective cover 36 is provided outside the adjustment motor 34 and the synchronous belt drive device 35.

[0050] The adjustment motor 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the dust removal box 31 by bolts. When the adjustment motor 34 works, it can drive the dust-blocking louvers 33 to rotate through the synchronous belt drive device 35, thereby adjusting the angle of the dust-blocking louvers 33. In non-sandstorm weather, the dust-blocking louvers 33 are adjusted to the horizontal position, which can reduce the obstruction to the airflow and increase the airflow velocity.

[0051] A duct guard net 38 is welded to the inner side of the front end of the second air duct 37, and the return air duct 39 is located between the duct guard net 38 and the dust removal box 31.

[0052] The duct guard net 38 is used to prevent large-volume foreign objects from entering the second air duct 37 and damaging the dust-blocking louvers 33.

[0053] Both ends of the return air duct 39 are welded to the second air duct 37 and the exhaust hood 14 respectively. When the outside air is inhaled into the second air duct 37, the negative pressure in the second air duct 37 can suck part of the steam discharged from the exhaust hood 14 through the return air duct 39 and mix it with the dry air to increase the intake humidity. Increasing the air humidity can increase the weight of the dust and improve the dust removal efficiency. At the same time, it can realize the recycling of water and reduce the water consumption during the cooling process.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the operator uses this equipment, high-temperature cooling water is injected into the machine box 11 through the water inlet pipe 16.

[0055] Control the exhaust fan 13 and the induced draft fan 21 to work. The induced draft fan 21 injects air into the machine box 11. The airflow exchanges heat with the high-temperature cooling water to generate wet air, and the exhaust fan 13 discharges the wet air in the machine box 11.

[0056] The cooled cooling water falls into the water collecting tray 15 and then is discharged from the drain pipe 17.

[0057] When the induced draft fan 21 sucks in the outside air, the air will first pass through the air duct guard net 38; enter the second air duct 37. At the same time, a part of the wet air discharged by the exhaust fan 13 will enter the second air duct 37 through the return air duct 39.

[0058] The dust-containing air and the water vapor in the wet air are mixed, increasing the air humidity. At the same time, the dust aggregates into larger particles under the action of the water vapor, increasing in weight.

[0059] The wetted dust-containing air enters the dust removal box 31 and is blocked by the dust blocking louvers 33. In order to bypass the dust blocking louvers 33, the air flow direction changes rapidly. Due to inertia, the heavier dust particles collide with the dust blocking louvers 33 and are separated from the air flow. After being blocked by multiple groups of dust blocking louvers 33, most of the dust particles are removed from the air flow. The air flow enters the first air duct 23 and is filtered by the end filter screen 25 to become clean air.

[0060] The dust particles blocked by the dust blocking louvers 33 will fall into the dust discharge pipe 32 and then be discharged.

[0061] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only the preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
