Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of circulating water cooling, and more specifically, relates to a cooling system for thermal equipment. Background Art

[0002] To meet the cooling requirements of thermal equipment, a closed-circuit circulating water system is often used. A closed cooling tower (hereinafter referred to as a closed tower) plays a crucial role in the closed-circuit circulating water system. However, during the use of the closed tower, scale forms on the inner and outer walls (especially the outer wall) of the internal coil, resulting in a rapid decline in the heat transfer performance of the system and making it difficult to meet the requirements of the production process. In addition, there are also disadvantages such as difficult maintenance in the closed cooling tower. Specifically, in the common heat transfer process of the closed-circuit circulating water system, the closed tower is a key device. In its heat transfer process, the circulating water in the coil transfers heat to the spray water and air outside the pipe through the pipe wall. While the spray water outside the pipe evaporates and takes away heat, scale will be left on the outer wall of the pipe. In addition, solid substances such as dust in the flowing air and organic substances in the spray water will also remain on the outer wall of the coil, mix with the scale, and form a hard covering layer on the outer surface of the coil, greatly reducing the heat transfer performance of the coil and causing the heat transfer performance of the entire system to decay rapidly.

[0003] There is a prior art with the name "Intermediate Cooling Closed-Circuit Cooling Water System for Calcium Carbide Furnace" and a publication (announcement) number of "CN103864074 B". This technology includes a water supply mechanism, a distributor, a cooling mechanism, a water collector, a degassing tank, a pressure stabilizing tank, a heat exchanger, a water replenishing mechanism, and a chemical dosing device. The water supply mechanism includes a circulating pump group and an inlet circulating cut-off valve and an outlet circulating cut-off valve respectively configured. The cooling mechanism includes a cooler for the cooling element of the calcium carbide furnace and a cooling cut-off valve respectively configured at its inlet and outlet. The inlet cooling cut-off valve is communicated with the outlet of the distributor, and the outlet cooling cut-off valve is communicated with the water collector. The outlet provided in the water collector is communicated with the degassing tank. The pressure stabilizing tank is connected to the degassing tank. The heat exchanger is respectively communicated with the degassing tank and the pressure stabilizing tank. The water replenishing mechanism includes a water tank, a water replenishing pump group, and cut-off valves for both in and out directions of the water replenishing pump group. The water replenishing mechanism is communicated with the water supply mechanism through a pipeline. The chemical dosing device is installed between the heat exchanger and the water supply mechanism and is communicated with it through a delivery pipe. This system has the good effects of small makeup water volume, high heat transfer efficiency, good cooling effect, low corrosion rate, good degassing and exhaust effects, and safety, energy conservation, and environmental protection.
