Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air-cooling condensing units, and particularly relates to an anti-clogging and anti-scaling, low-temperature countercurrent air-cooling condensing unit. Background Art
[0002] Currently, there are generally two types of air-cooled condensing units. One is a conventional air-cooled condensing unit, where the condensing temperature of the working fluid is more than 10°C higher than the ambient dry-bulb temperature. This high condensing temperature results in a high compressor pressure ratio under the same operating conditions, leading to high system energy consumption. The other type of air-cooled condensing unit is equipped with a water atomizer at the unit's air inlet. The condensing temperature of the working fluid in this unit is generally more than 10°C higher than the ambient wet-bulb temperature, achieving a lower condensing temperature. Under the same operating conditions, the compressor pressure ratio is small, and the system energy consumption is low. However, when the atomized water droplets evaporate on the fin-curtain tube condensing heat exchanger, the minerals in the water remain on the fin curtain, causing scaling, a reduction in the heat transfer coefficient, and rapid performance degradation of the unit. The fin-curtain tube condensing heat exchangers of the above two units are directly exposed to the atmosphere. During operation, dust and debris can easily adhere to the heat exchanger with the airflow, causing fouling and blockage of the heat exchanger, affecting the condensation effect.
[0003] In summary, the current use of air-cooled condensing units has problems such as high energy consumption, low system efficiency, high condensing temperature, easy clogging and scaling, and rapid performance degradation. Technical personnel in this field urgently need to improve this type of equipment. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following is a detailed description of the present invention through specific embodiments. Those familiar with the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. However, it should be noted that the following specific implementation methods do not limit the technical solution. Under the guidance of the following technical solution, those skilled in the art can also make further technical extensions. The scope of protection of this patent application shall be based on the claims.
[0022] Example 1: A low-temperature countercurrent air-cooled condensing unit, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a condensing unit body 1, a fan system 2, an air outlet bin 3, an air humidification module 5, an air inlet 6, and a fin curtain tube condensing heat exchanger 11.
[0023] The air inlet 6 is arranged on the inner side wall of the condensing unit body 1, and an air humidification module 5 is arranged near the air inlet 6. In this embodiment, the air humidification modules 5 are at least two groups and are arranged vertically symmetrically. A water storage tank 7 is correspondingly arranged below the air humidification module 5, and a circulation pump 8 and a pipeline 81 are arranged in conjunction with the water storage tank 7. The pipeline 81 extends from the left and right sides to the top of the air humidification module 5. A plurality of spray heads 4 are arranged at the end of the pipeline 81, and the spray heads 4 are arranged toward the air humidification module 5; the air humidification module 5 is an evaporative heat dissipation filler or a wet curtain humidifier. This embodiment adopts a spiral wet curtain humidifier, which is arranged at intervals by a plurality of fin curtains 51. After the air flow enters the equipment through the air inlet 6, it is humidified isothermally by the air humidification module 5; the fin curtain tube condensing heat exchanger 11 is arranged above the air humidification module 5, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple finned tube condensing heat exchangers 11 arranged horizontally, and each finned tube condensing heat exchanger 11 is provided with a gaseous working medium inlet 13 and a liquid working medium outlet 12. After the gaseous medium enters the finned tube condensing heat exchanger 11, it is condensed, and the obtained condensed water is discharged through the liquid working medium outlet 12.
[0024] After the above structure is set up, the air flow enters the air flow air humidification module 5 through the air inlet 6 and is humidified at the same enthalpy. The air temperature is reduced to a temperature close to the ambient wet-bulb temperature. This cooling can effectively reduce the condensation temperature of the working medium flowing through the fin curtain tube heat exchanger 11 tube, thereby improving the system efficiency; when the condensation temperature of the unit is reduced, the compression ratio of the compressor is reduced under the same working conditions, and the power consumption of the compressor is reduced; furthermore, the installation of the air humidification module 5 can purify the air entering the interior of the equipment, prevent dust and debris from adhering to the fin curtain tube condensation heat exchanger with the air flow, avoid the heat exchanger from being dirty and blocked, and can also achieve high-pressure cleaning of the air humidification module; the air humidification module 5 also has the functions of diversion and water blocking, and no small water droplets enter the interior of the unit, which can avoid scaling of the fin curtain tube condensation heat exchanger and effectively alleviate the performance degradation of the heat exchanger.
[0025] The air outlet bin 3 is arranged on the top of the condensing unit body 1, and the fan system 2 is arranged inside the air outlet bin 3. The four sides of the air outlet bin 3 are open, and the top of the air outlet bin 3 is semi-open. The purpose of designing the top of the air outlet bin 3 to be semi-open is to use the top surface of the air outlet bin 3 as an exhaust vent when necessary. When it rains or snows outside, in order to ensure the cleanliness of the air outlet bin 3 and the inside of the condensing unit body 1, the utility model can realize the closure of the top surface of the air outlet bin 3. The specific driving structure is as follows Figure 3 、 4As shown, the air outlet bin 3 includes a frame 31, the periphery of the frame 31 is an open design, and a ventilation valve is provided on the top of the frame 31. The ventilation valve includes a circular fixing portion 31 and a driving portion 35. A number of closed areas 33 and vents 34 are evenly distributed on the fixing portion 31, and the closed areas 33 and vents 34 are arranged at intervals; a driven component 37 is provided on the driving portion 35 to cooperate with the vents 34, and the driven component 37 rotates on the fixing portion 31 to realize the relative rotation between the two, and a frame 36 is provided on the periphery of the driven component 37, and a driven tooth 38 is provided on the frame 36. A motor fixing frame 92 is also provided on the frame 31, and a driving motor 9 is fixed on the motor fixing frame 92. A driving gear 91 is provided on the top of the driving motor, and the driving motor 9 drives the driving gear 91 to rotate, and at the same time drives the driven component 37 and the vent 34 to be blocked or not, thereby realizing axial ventilation.
[0026] When necessary, the above structure can be used to increase the ventilation volume and improve the cooling efficiency.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the present invention realizes humidification of the air flow inside the condensing unit body 1 and the blocking of impurities by setting an air humidification module 5. However, this operation mode will block all external impurities on the air humidification module 5. After long-term use, the ventilation rate of the air humidification module 5 will be reduced. In order to avoid the above problems, Figure 2 As shown, the present technical solution is provided with a high-pressure chamber 10 at both ends of the air humidification module, and a plurality of high-pressure fans 101 are provided inside the high-pressure chamber 10. The high-pressure fans 101 are arranged toward the gap of the fin curtain 51 inside the air humidification module 5, and a vertical baffle 52 is provided in the middle of the air humidification module 5. The left and right sides of the vertical baffle 52 are respectively provided with a debris removal gap 53, and the bottom of the debris removal gap 53 is provided with an external discharge port 54. Through the above structural arrangement, the external discharge port 54 can be connected to an external collection device or a negative pressure collection device.
