Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to a mist elimination cooling tower. Background Art
[0002] A cooling tower is a cooling device used to lower water temperature. During operation, a water pump lifts water from a water collection tray to the top of the tower, where it is sprayed onto the packing. Dry, cold air enters the cooling tower through the air inlet at the bottom of the tower via a fan at the top of the tower. It then flows through the packing from bottom to top, while circulating water flows through the packing from top to bottom, exchanging heat and moisture with the rising dry, cold air within the packing, thereby achieving the desired cooling effect. However, in cold weather, the hot, humid air discharged from the top of the cooling tower condenses into plume when it encounters cold air from outside. This not only affects the environment but also causes significant inconvenience to the lives and production of surrounding residents. To address this issue, the cooling tower's structure needs to be modified. The most common modification method is to install a demisting module within the tower, located between the induced draft fan and the packing. However, installing a demisting module alters the original cooling tower structure, requiring significant modification effort and damaging the tower's structural strength, resulting in poor reliability. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only shows the components related to the present invention.
[0018] The utility model provides a demisting cooling tower, comprising a cooling tower body 10 and a demisting platform 20, the cooling tower body 10 comprising a tower body 11, an induced draft fan 12 is installed in an air outlet duct 111 at the top of the tower body 11, fillers 13 and a water distribution pipe 14 are installed in the tower body 1 from bottom to top, the demisting platform 20 comprises a demisting module 22, an air duct door 23 and a blower 24, the demisting module 22 has two and is relatively fixedly arranged in the air outlet duct 111, the demisting module 22 is located above the induced draft fan 12, an air duct (not marked in the figure) is formed between the two demisting modules 22, the air duct door 23 is rotatably installed in the air duct, the blower 24 has two and is arranged on the outside of the air outlet duct 111 and corresponds to the demisting module 22 one by one, a horizontal dry cooling channel and a vertical wet and hot channel are provided in the demisting module 22, wherein the dry cooling channel and the wet and hot channel are isolated from each other, and the air outlet of the blower 24 is connected to the dry cooling channel. In this embodiment, the mist elimination module 22 is a partition-type heat exchanger.
[0019] The utility model's mist elimination cooling tower has two working conditions: non-mist elimination and mist elimination, depending on the season. Specifically:
[0020] In the summer, the non-mist-eliminating mode is activated, the duct door 23 is driven to rotate and open (the duct door 23 is in a vertical position), and the blower 24 is not operated. At this time, when the cooling tower is in operation, circulating water is sprayed out through the nozzle on the water distribution pipe 14 and then falls onto the filler 13 below, passing through the filler 13 from top to bottom. At the same time, under the action of the induced draft fan 12, dry and cold air outside the tower enters the interior of the tower body 11 through the air inlet at the bottom of the tower, and passes through the filler 13 from bottom to top. In this process, heat is exchanged with the falling circulating water, thereby forming saturated humid hot air, which flows upward into the air outlet duct 111, and after passing through the air duct and the humid hot channel, escapes to the outside of the air outlet duct 111.
[0021] In winter, the defogging mode is activated, and the air duct door 23 is driven to rotate to close the air duct door 23 (the air duct door 23 is in a horizontal state). At the same time, the blower 24 is started to blow dry and cold air outside the tower into the dry and cold channel. At this time, when the cooling tower is working, the circulating water is sprayed out through the nozzle on the water distribution pipe 14 and then falls onto the filler 13 below, and passes through the filler 13 from top to bottom. At the same time, under the action of the induced draft fan 12, the dry and cold air outside the tower enters the interior of the tower body 11 through the air inlet at the bottom of the tower, and passes through the filler 13 from bottom to top. In this process, it exchanges heat with the falling circulating water, thereby forming saturated humid hot air, and flows upward into the air outlet 111. Since the air duct is closed by the air duct door 23, the humid hot saturated air can only flow upward along the humid hot channel. In the process of vertically passing through the humid hot channel, it will undergo inter-wall heat exchange with the dry and cold air in the dry and cold channel, so that part of the water vapor condenses on the channel wall of the humid hot channel and finally flows downward to the water pool at the bottom of the tower body 11, achieving the purpose of water saving. At the same time, the air passing through the demisting module 22 upward becomes unsaturated air. In this way, no plume will be formed after leaving the tower, which has a good demisting effect. In addition, the hot and humid air passing through the filler 13 upward will first be fully stirred and mixed under the action of the induced draft fan 12, and then flow upward into the hot and humid channel, ensuring that the hot and humid air can flow evenly into the hot and humid channel of the demisting module 22, which is beneficial to enhancing the heat exchange effect of the demisting module 22.
[0022] The demisting cooling tower of the present invention can achieve the purpose of demisting by adding a demisting platform 20 without changing the structure of the original cooling tower body 10. Compared with the traditional modification method, it greatly reduces the modification workload and is particularly suitable for batch modification. At the same time, by switching the state of the air duct door 23, the cooling tower can be switched between demisting working conditions and non-demisting working conditions, which is beneficial for users to reasonably select working modes according to different seasons.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the air outlet 111 is rectangular, the demisting module 22 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the air duct door 23 is a rectangular plate structure, and the demisting module 22 is sealed to the inner wall of the air outlet 111 to prevent the hot and humid air from escaping through the gap between the demisting module 22 and the air outlet 111. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the cross-section of the air outlet 111 can also be a circular structure, and the downward projections of the demisting module 22 and the air duct door 23 both fall into the air outlet 111. At this time, the area between the demisting module 22 and the air outlet 111 except for the hot and humid channel and the air duct door 23 is sealed with a tarpaulin or other sealing member, so that the rising airflow can only pass upward through the hot and humid channel and the air duct. The specific cross-sectional shape of the air outlet 111 is not limited.
[0024] Furthermore, a drive shaft 231 is fixedly connected to the middle of the air duct door 23, and one end of the drive shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the air outlet tube 111. In order to drive the air duct door 23 to rotate, a drive motor is also installed on the side wall of the air outlet tube 111. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 231. When in use, the drive motor drives the drive shaft 231 to rotate, and then drives the air duct door 23 to rotate, so as to realize the switching of the air duct door 23 between horizontal and vertical positions.
[0025] In this embodiment, an air collecting hood 21 is provided between the blower 24 and the defogging module 22. The horizontal cross-section of the air collecting hood 21 is tapered, with a large end and a small end connected to each other. The small end is connected to the air outlet of the blower 24, and the large end passes through the air outlet 111 and is connected to the defogging module 22 corresponding to the dry cooling channel. In defogging operation, the air generated by the blower 24 passes through the air collecting hood 21 and enters the dry cooling channel. The provision of the air collecting hood 21 facilitates the even distribution of the air blown by the blower 24 into the dry cooling channel.
[0026] In this embodiment, the demisting platform 20 also includes a support frame 25, and the support frame 25 includes a vertical frame 251 and a horizontal frame 252. The vertical frame 251 is vertically arranged on the outside of the tower body 11, and the bottom of the vertical frame 251 is fixedly connected to the ground. The horizontal frame 252 is horizontally fixedly connected to the top of the vertical frame 251, and the blower 24 is fixedly installed on the horizontal frame 252. In addition, the air outlet 111 is fixedly connected to the horizontal frame 252 to enhance the structural strength of the air outlet 111, which is beneficial for the air outlet 111 to stably carry the demisting module 22 and the air duct door.
[0027] In this embodiment, the cooling tower body 10 also includes a water collector 15 provided in the tower body 11. The water collector 15 is located between the induced draft fan 12 and the water distribution pipe 14. When the hot and humid air passing through the filler 13 passes upward through the water collector 15, part of the water vapor in the air will be trapped on the water collector 15 and eventually fall into the water pool at the bottom of the tower body 11, effectively reducing the loss of circulating water.
