Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, in particular to a condenser with a function of automatically controlling the amount of spray water. Background Art
[0002] Evaporative cooling condensers are widely used in integrated chillers due to their low power consumption. Evaporative cooling condensers utilize water evaporation for heat transfer, making them more energy-efficient than water-cooled and air-cooled systems. However, their heat transfer performance is highly dependent on the wet-bulb temperature of the environment, which limits their operating temperature range.
[0003] When the ambient temperature is high, existing evaporative condensers maintain a constant spray water flow rate. Since the water circulation system is an open system, the cooling water temperature tends to the ambient temperature. This can easily lead to a high condensing temperature during the water circulation process, affecting the unit's cooling efficiency. Similarly, when the ambient temperature is low, the cooling water temperature is low. While maintaining a constant spray water flow rate, the heat exchange efficiency between the water and the evaporative cooling coil increases, but this can cause the condensing temperature to fall far below normal, potentially affecting the unit's normal operation. Therefore, maintaining the stability of evaporative cooling condensers in a changing environment and improving overall performance are key issues that need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0018] The following is a detailed introduction to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0019] Example: As shown in the attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the condenser with automatic control of the spray water volume includes a regulating valve 1, a spray water pipe 2, a spray head 3, an evaporative cooling coil 4, a temperature sensor 5, a cooling water tank 6, a cooling water pump 7, a packing layer 8, a partition 9, an outer frame 10 and an axial flow fan 11.
[0020] Reference Attachment Figure 1 A spray water pipe 2 is installed at the top of the outer frame 10. A regulating valve 1 is installed at the front end of the spray water pipe 2, so that the regulating valve 1 and the spray water pipe 2 are arranged coaxially. Several spray heads 3 are installed on the spray water pipe 2, and an evaporative cooling coil 4 is installed below the spray water pipe 2, so that the spray heads 3 are directly opposite the evaporative cooling coil 4. Preferably, the regulating valve 1, the spray water pipe 2, and the spray heads 3 are at least four components on the evaporative cooling coil 4, increasing the coil area sprayed by the spray heads 3 and improving the condensation effect. The spray water pipe 2 is made of polyvinyl chloride plastic pipe, which has high structural strength, corrosion resistance, and a longer service life.
[0021] Furthermore, a packing layer 8 is provided below the evaporative cooling coil 4, and a cooling water tank 6 is provided at the bottom of the packing layer 8, and the cooling water tank 6 is used to collect the cooling water sprayed from the sprinkler head 3. A cooling water outlet pipeline is provided at the outlet of the cooling water tank 6 and connected to the regulating valve 1 (spraying water pipe 2). A temperature sensor 5 and a cooling water pump 7 are provided on the cooling water outlet pipeline in sequence, and the regulating valve 1 is connected behind the cooling water pump 7. The temperature sensor 5 is located between the cooling water pump 7 and the outlet of the cooling water tank 6, and the cooling water pump 7 transports the cooling water in the cooling water tank 6 to the regulating valve 1. The temperature sensor 5 monitors the cooling water temperature of the cooling water outlet pipeline (the outlet of the cooling water tank 6) in real time, and controls the opening of the regulating valve 1 through a signal, thereby controlling the water flow rate sprayed from the sprinkler head 3. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Different water spraying amounts of the sprinkler head 3 are shown respectively.
[0022] Furthermore, a gas inlet and a liquid outlet are respectively provided on one side of the evaporative cooling coil 4, wherein the gas inlet is for the entry of high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant, and the liquid outlet is for the outflow of condensed normal-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant. The cooling water sprayed by the spray head 3 directly contacts the tube bundle of the evaporative cooling coil 4, thereby increasing the heat exchange area and effectively improving the heat exchange effect.
[0023] An air inlet is provided on the outer frame 10 above the spray water pipe 2. The direction of the spray water sprayed by the spray head 3 is the same as the direction of the wind blowing in from the air inlet, both vertically downward. At the same time, a partition 9 is provided inside the outer frame 10. Air outlets are provided on the partition 9 at positions corresponding to the evaporative cooling coil 4 and the packing layer 8. The air is blown outward by the axial flow fan 11 installed on the outer frame 10. The air flow direction is as follows: Figure 1 、 2 Indicated by the arrow.
[0024] The working process of this utility model:
[0025] When the unit is in normal cooling operation, the cooling water in the cooling water tank 6 driven by the cooling water pump 7 will be continuously sprayed through the regulating valve 1, the spray pipe 2, and the spray head 3. After the cooling water drips through the evaporative cooling coil 4 for evaporation and heat exchange, most of the cooling water will continue to drip down to the packing layer 8 below the evaporative cooling coil 4. After heat exchange in the packing layer 8, the cooling water enters the cooling water tank 6, and the cycle continues.
[0026] The temperature sensor 5 can change the opening of the regulating valve 1 according to the high or low temperature of the cooling water sensed. Normally, when the ambient temperature is low and the cooling water temperature is much lower than the current condensing temperature, the regulating valve 1 is adjusted to reduce the water flow passing through it, ensuring that the condensing temperature is steadily reduced and the stability of the unit operation is guaranteed. Similarly, when the cooling water temperature is at the normal operating temperature, the regulating valve 1 can be adjusted to increase the water flow passing through it to ensure the heat exchange efficiency. When the ambient temperature is high, the cooling water pump 7 and the regulating valve 1 can be turned on at the same time to ensure that the condensing temperature does not increase sharply. Only when the unit is running day and night and the ambient temperature changes greatly, the program can be judged simultaneously based on the condensing temperature and the cooling water temperature detected by the temperature sensor 5, and then the water flow passing through the regulating valve 1 can be adjusted.
[0027] It is understandable that for those skilled in the art, any equivalent replacement or change of the technical solution and the concept of the utility model should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
