Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical circulating water, and more specifically to a circulating water cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the production of the domestic and foreign chemical industries, circulating water is an indispensable public auxiliary system. A large amount of water enters the circulating water pool and enters the circulating cooling water supply system pipe network through the circulating water pump to cool the production device. The circulated cooling return water after heat exchange directly enters the circulating water cooling tower through the circulating cooling return water pipe by using the residual pressure. The cooling tower adopts a countercurrent mechanical draft cooling tower. Under the attraction of the fan to the air and the heat dissipation of the packing to the hot water, the circulated cooling return water and the cold air perform evaporation heat dissipation and mass transfer heat dissipation, so that the water temperature is reduced to a suitable production temperature. The cooled water enters the circulating water pool through the bottom pool of the tower and is lifted and conveyed to the circulating cooling water supply system pipe network by the circulating cooling water supply pump. During the evaporation cooling process of the circulating water, different degrees of loss will occur. According to statistics, the annual evaporation of the circulating water accounts for 20%-30% of the circulating water makeup water, and may reach 40% in summer at high times. Especially under the current situation of water resource and energy shortage, the country's requirements for environmental protection and comprehensive utilization of energy are becoming more and more strict. The scientific, reasonable and efficient water-saving technology of the circulating water cooling tower will be the development trend of the domestic and foreign recycling and utilization of circulating water.

[0026] The first embodiment is as follows:

[0027] The circulating water cooling tower includes a shell 14. The shell 14 can be set as one of a cuboid, a cube or a cone. A water collecting basin 1 is arranged at the lower part of the shell 14. The shape of the water collecting basin 1 is adapted to that of the shell 14. After the circulating water falls down, it exists inside the water collecting basin 1 and waits for the next cycle, and cools down while waiting.

[0028] An inlet air screen 5, a packing 6, a water distribution pipe 8, a water eliminator 9 and an air outlet device are successively arranged inside the shell 14 from bottom to top;

[0029] The air outlet device includes a fan 12 and a fan blade 11. The fan blade 11 is located at the upper end outlet of the housing 14. The fan 12 is installed at the upper end of the housing 14. The output shaft of the fan 12 is connected to the fan blade 11. The air flow direction of the fan blade 11 is from bottom to top. Driven by the fan blade 11, dry cold air is driven to enter the housing 14 from the air inlet net 5 and flow upward.

[0030] The air inlet net 5 is located on the outer vertical surface of the housing 14. Dry cold air outside the housing 14 enters the housing 14 from the air inlet net 5. A louver grille is provided at the air inlet net 5 in a rotatable manner. By controlling the gear or installing a damping device, it is ensured that after the louver grille is adjusted to a certain angle, its state can be maintained, and at the same time, the angle can be adjusted to change the intake of external dry cold air;

[0031] A fresh water make-up pipe 42 is connected to the side of the water collecting basin 1, which can supplement cooling circulating water into the water collecting basin 1 when the circulating water in the water collecting basin 1 is insufficient. At the same time, a make-up pipe 4 is connected to the side of the water collecting basin 1. A water pump 3 is provided on the make-up pipe 4. The upper end of the make-up pipe 4 is communicated with a water distribution pipe 8. The water distribution pipe 8 is located between the packing 6 and the water separator 9. A number of water spraying nozzles 7 are evenly arranged on the water distribution pipe 8. The orientation of the water spraying nozzles 7 is vertically downward. The circulating water in the water collecting basin 1 is pressurized by the water pump 3, passes through the make-up pipe 4 and the make-up pipe 4 from the water collecting basin 1, and is sprayed onto the packing 6 from the water spraying nozzles 7. During this process, heat exchange takes place, and while the water vapor evaporates, the packing 6 is cooled.

[0032] At this time, the liquid water drips from the packing 6 into the water collecting basin 1 and waits for the next cycle;

[0033] At the same time, dry cold air outside the housing 14 enters from the air inlet net 5, contacts the circulating water through the packing 6, and while performing heat exchange, drives the water vapor to move upward to the water separator 9.

[0034] The water separator 9 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 14 through a bracket 15. The bracket 15 is set to be one of a rigid connection or a flexible connection. The rigid connection can adopt the angle steel welding method or the aluminum profile riveting method. The flexible connection can adopt the combination method of a flange and a flexible gasket or the rubber soft joint method. When using a rigid connection, the vibration of the water separator 9 can be made more stable. When using a flexible connection, the vibration range of the water separator 9 can be made larger.

[0035] A compressed air resonance device 10 is provided at the upper part of the water separator 9. The compressed air resonance device 10 adopts a pneumatic vibrator. The pneumatic vibrator is installed at the center of the water separator 9. The pneumatic vibrator is connected to a compressed air pipe 13. The other end of the compressed air pipe 13 is connected to an air compressor station. An automatic valve is provided on the compressed air pipe 13. The air pressure in the compressed air pipe 13 is 0.6 - 0.8 MPa, and the vibration frequency of the pneumatic vibrator is 1200 - 2000 Hz.

[0036] Add a set of compressed air resonance device 10 to the upper part of the circulating water cooling tower. The clean compressed air generated by the air compressor station with a pressure of 0.6 - 0.8 MPa is introduced into the compressed air resonance device 10. The compressed air resonance device 10 uses a pneumatic vibrator. By adjusting the flow rate and pressure of the compressed air entering the pneumatic vibrator, the vibration frequency of the pneumatic vibrator is controlled within 1200 - 2000 Hz. A positive motion agglomeration mechanism is generated for the fine water particles in the upper part of the circulating water cooling tower. Water particles of different diameters are driven to different degrees. Large particles have greater inertia and are not easily entrained, and tend to maintain their original state, while fine particles are easily driven to move with the vibration of the medium. Thus, relative motion occurs between large and small water particles. The large particles act as collection nuclei and agglomerate the small particles that collide with them, thereby reducing the fine particles and increasing the average core diameter. At the same time, according to the principle of fluid mechanics, the particles are rapidly compressed and the density increases. Under the action of appropriate frequency and pressure, the fine water droplets perform relative motion, collide with each other, and coagulate into large water droplets, which drip into the circulating water pool under the action of gravity. The large water droplets exchange heat with the evaporated water vapor during the falling process, further reducing the amount of evaporated water vapor in the circulating water.

[0037] Through the application of the water-saving technology for the cooling tower, the evaporation rate of the circulating water cooling tower is greatly reduced, the recovery and utilization rate of the circulating water are improved, and 20% of the fresh water make-up volume is saved. During the falling process, the large water droplets exchange heat with the evaporated water vapor, further reducing the amount of evaporated water vapor in the circulating water. The water-saving technology for the cooling tower only has a "coagulation" effect on the water mist, no phase change occurs, and it will not affect the temperature inside the circulating water cooling tower. In terms of environmental protection, the visual pollution effect of the cooling tower is reduced and the acid mist emission is reduced.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
