AI Technical Summary
Existing closed-loop cooling towers are tall and bulky, resulting in high transportation and installation costs, low heat exchange efficiency, and the need to replace open-loop towers during equipment upgrades. They also cannot reduce power consumption during low-temperature seasons, leading to waste and high costs.
The system adopts a combined cooling tower structure, which combines an open tower with a coil box. The medium flow is optimized through water pipes and a fan system, which reduces the tower height, saves transportation and installation costs, and allows some equipment to be shut down during the low-temperature season to save energy.
This reduces the height of cooling towers, simplifies manufacturing and installation, reduces modification costs, saves operating costs during low-temperature seasons, improves heat exchange efficiency, and avoids equipment obsolescence and continuous operation.
