Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of cooler monitoring, and specifically relates to a device for monitoring the cooling effect of a cooler. Background Art
[0002] A cooler is a device used to lower the temperature of fluids or gases. Through heat exchange, it exchanges heat between the fluid or gas to be cooled and a cooling medium (usually water or air) to achieve the purpose of temperature reduction. Coolers are widely used in various industrial fields such as petrochemical, refrigeration, machinery, and food. The fluid to be cooled enters the cooler through the inlet, exchanges heat with the cooling medium through heat dissipation tubes or cooling tubes, and the cooled fluid flows out through the outlet. At the same time, the cooling medium also gets heated after exchanging heat and then circulates or is discharged through the cooling water inlet and outlet.
[0003] For example, in the utility model patent with the publication number CN217582440U, a cooler for a compressor is disclosed, which includes a cooler main body and a filtering mechanism. Both the left and right sides of the cooler main body are fixedly connected with end covers. On the surface of the right end cover close to the cooler main body, there are two grooves fixedly installed. In each of the two grooves, there are two slots. The filtering mechanism is arranged in the recess of the right end cover. The filtering mechanism includes a ring movably connected to the recess of the end cover. The surface of the recess of the ring is fixedly installed with a filter screen. On the left surface of the ring, there are two placement grooves. In this compressor cooler, when the cooling water passes through the filter screen on the filtering mechanism, the cooling water is filtered through the filter screen, thereby reducing the entry of debris into the cooler main body. By separating the right end cover from the cooler main body and pulling two pull blocks in the opposite direction, the insertion blocks are pulled out of the slots, and then the ring can be removed to maintain and replace the filter screen.
[0004] However, it is found in the actual use process that: this device filters the cooling water through the filter screen, thereby reducing the entry of debris into the interior of the cooler main body and protecting the heat dissipation tubes inside the cooler from being blocked;
[0005] However, to ensure the normal operation and cooling effect of the cooler, personnel need to regularly clean the filter screen and the heat dissipation tubes to prevent the filter screen and the heat dissipation tubes from being blocked by debris or scale. However, the current design does not provide an intuitive monitoring means to determine whether the filter screen and the heat dissipation tubes are blocked, which may lead to the inability to clean and maintain the filter screen and the heat dissipation tubes in a timely manner, thereby affecting the performance of the cooler. Therefore, a device for monitoring the cooling effect of a cooler is provided. Utility Model Content

By providing the two installation rings 2, it is convenient to install and fix the plurality of heat dissipation pipes 3 arranged in a circumferential array. The front end of the heat dissipation pipe 3 slightly extends to the front side of the installation ring 2, so as to facilitate the subsequent entry of the coolant.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , The left end of the cooler cylinder body 1 is fixedly installed with a liquid inlet end cover 4 through a set of bolt one, and a coolant inlet 5 is fixedly installed on the outer surface near the top of the liquid inlet end cover 4; By providing the liquid inlet end cover 4 and the coolant inlet 5, it is convenient for the subsequent coolant to enter the inside of the heat dissipation pipe 3 and facilitate the cooling of the fluid inside the cooler cylinder body 1.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , The right end of the cooler cylinder body 1 is fixedly installed with a liquid discharge end cover 6 through a set of bolt two, and a coolant outlet 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface near the top of the liquid discharge end cover 6; By providing the liquid discharge end cover 6 and the coolant outlet 7, it is convenient for the coolant after heat exchange to be discharged, preparing for a new round of cooling process. Such a design not only improves the cooling efficiency, but also provides convenience for the subsequent circulation and reuse of the coolant, thereby helping to reduce the operating cost and resource consumption.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3 , A liquid filtering component 8 for filtering the coolant is arranged inside the liquid inlet end cover 4; By providing the liquid filtering component 8, it is convenient to filter the coolant entering the inside of the heat dissipation pipe 3.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3 , The liquid filtering component 8 includes a limiting ring 13, a convex block 14, a filter plate 15 and a groove 16. The inner side wall of the liquid inlet end cover 4 is fixedly installed with a limiting ring 13, and two convex blocks 14 are fixedly installed on one side of the limiting ring 13; By providing the limiting ring 13, it is convenient to install and fix the two convex blocks 14.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3, a filter plate 15 is arranged inside the liquid inlet end cover 4. Two grooves 16 corresponding to the bumps 14 are formed on the outer surface of the filter plate 15, and the bumps 14 are inserted into the grooves 16. When installing the filter plate 15, just insert the bumps 14 into the grooves 16, so that one side of the filter plate 15 is attached to one side of the limit ring 13. When the liquid inlet end cover 4 is fixed, the other side of the filter plate 15 will be close to the mounting ring 2, which is convenient for limiting and installing the filter plate 15. At the same time, the bumps 14 are arranged so that they will not rotate or deviate greatly during subsequent use.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , temperature sensors 9 are fixedly installed through the outer surfaces of the liquid inlet end cover 4 and the liquid discharge end cover 6. A flowmeter 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the coolant outlet 7. A mounting seat 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cooler cylinder body 1. A system controller 12 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting seat 11. The temperature sensors 9, the flowmeter 10 and the system controller 12 are electrically connected. The temperature sensor 9 installed on the outer surface of the liquid inlet end cover 4 is used to monitor the temperature of the coolant entering. And a temperature sensor 9 is also arranged on the outer surface of the liquid discharge end cover 6 to monitor the temperature change of the coolant after heat exchange. These temperature data are transmitted into the system controller 12 for calculation, so as to obtain the actual heat dissipation of the fluid. In addition, the flowmeter 10 is arranged near the coolant outlet 7 to monitor the flow rate of the coolant. These monitoring data are crucial for judging the state inside the cooler. When the liquid filtering component 8 or the heat dissipation pipe 3 inside the cooler cylinder body 1 is blocked or scaled, it will be reflected by a series of parameter changes, such as the change of water flow rate, the change of water pressure difference between inlet and outlet, and the change of temperature difference between inlet and outlet water. The system controller 12 can accurately judge the state inside the cooler according to the changes of these parameters, providing an important basis for the maintenance of the equipment. The system controller 12 is a device that can be directly purchased in reality. Its main function is to calculate data through internal components and display them on the display screen. In this application, only its use is involved and its structure is not improved, so no more details will be described here.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , a liquid inlet 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cooler cylinder body 1 near the left end, and a liquid discharge port 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cooler cylinder body 1 near the right end. Through the arranged liquid inlet 17, it is convenient for personnel to introduce the liquid and gas to be cooled into the inside of the cooler cylinder body 1, so that the liquid inside the cooler cylinder body 1 can perform heat exchange with the heat dissipation pipe 3. The cooled liquid or gas after heat exchange is discharged through the liquid discharge port 18.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2, two lifting rings 19 are fixedly installed on the outer surface near the top of the cooler cylinder body 1, and a support 20 is fixedly installed on the outer surface near the bottom of the cooler cylinder body 1. The bottom surface of the support 20 is fixedly installed with a fixed bottom plate 21; by providing the support 20 and the fixed bottom plate 21, it is convenient to fix the cooler cylinder body 1 and improve its stability.
[0029] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the cooler cooling effect monitoring device of the present application is as follows: When an operator uses this cooler, first, coolant is introduced into the interior of the liquid inlet end cover 4 through the dedicated coolant inlet 5. The coolant inlet 5 is reasonably designed to ensure that the coolant can flow smoothly. After entering the liquid inlet end cover 4, the coolant will pass through the liquid filtering component 8 for filtering. The liquid filtering component 8 can effectively remove impurities and particulate matters in the coolant, ensure the normal operation of the cooling system and extend its service life. The filtered coolant continues to flow into the interior of the heat dissipation tube 3. At this time, the operator introduces the liquid or gas to be cooled into the interior of the cooler cylinder body 1 through the liquid inlet 17. At this time, the coolant inside the heat dissipation tube 3 exchanges heat with the liquid or gas entering the cooler cylinder body 1. Through the flow and heat transfer of the coolant, the temperature of the liquid or gas to be cooled is reduced.
[0030] When the coolant enters the interior of the liquid inlet end cover 4, a temperature sensor 9 is installed on the outer surface of the liquid inlet end cover 4 to detect the temperature of the coolant entering the cooler. At the same time, before the coolant flows out, another temperature sensor 9 is also provided on the outer surface of the drain end cover 6 to monitor the change in the temperature of the coolant after heat exchange. These real-time temperature data will be immediately transmitted into the system controller 12. When the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the coolant is too large or the flow rate and velocity of the coolant are lower than the preset set values, the system controller 12 can receive these abnormal signals. These signals will be processed and fed back to the terminal so that the operator can quickly know and take corresponding measures for timely detection and maintenance. This cooler not only has an excellent design structure and powerful functionality, but also ensures that the operator can perform safe and convenient operation and maintenance while working efficiently. Such a design not only provides guarantee for the normal operation of the equipment, but also provides an important basis and reference for the maintenance of the equipment.
