AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The condensate drainage structure of the upper surface cooler of existing stacked surface coolers requires an external water pan and drainage pipe, which increases costs, creates resistance to airflow, and poses a noise risk.

Method used

By setting a first drainage hole on the bottom plate of the upper surface cooler, the condensed water is directly discharged to the top plate of the lower surface cooler. The second and third drainage holes are set on the top plate and side guard plate of the lower surface cooler to achieve the drainage and discharge of the condensed water.

Benefits of technology

No external water pan and drain pipe are required, which saves material and installation costs, avoids wind resistance and noise, and reduces overall costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of stacked surface coolers, in particular to a condensed water drainage structure of an upper surface cooler of a stacked surface cooler. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the surface cooler, condensate is generated on the fin surface. For units with large cooling capacity, multiple surface coolers are generally designed, that is, stacked surface coolers. The stacked surface cooler includes an upper surface cooler and a lower surface cooler.

[0003] In the current structure, the condensed water of the upper surface cooler is collected by setting up an upper water pan and discharged to the bottom water pan through a drain pipe. This drainage structure requires the installation of an external water pan and a drain pipe, which increases the cost. At the same time, the drain pipe is generally located at the ventilation section of the surface cooler, which has a certain resistance to the airflow and may cause noise due to the loose fixation between the pipes. Utility Model Content

[0005] A condensate drainage structure for an upper surface cooler of stacked surface coolers comprises an upper surface cooler and a lower surface cooler, wherein a first drainage hole is provided on the bottom plate of the upper surface cooler of the upper surface cooler, and condensate is discharged to the top plate of the lower surface cooler of the lower surface cooler through the first drainage hole, a second drainage hole is provided on at least one end of the top plate of the lower surface cooler, and a third drainage hole is provided on the side guard plate of the lower surface cooler on the corresponding side of the lower surface cooler.

[0006] Preferably, the first drainage hole is a long hole arranged along the length direction of the bottom plate of the upper surface cooler.

[0007] Preferably, second drainage holes are provided at both ends of the top plate of the lower surface cooler.

[0008] Beneficial effect: The utility model provides a condensate drainage structure for the upper surface cooler of stacked surface coolers, which does not require an external water pan and drainage pipe, does not add additional components, saves material and installation costs, and leads the condensate of the upper surface cooler to both sides of the lower surface cooler for discharge, does not affect the air supply cross section, has no wind resistance, and does not generate additional noise, and also reduces costs to a certain extent.
