Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically a counter-flow circular high-efficiency energy-saving and noise-reducing cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and release it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. Its cooling effect is achieved by the heat exchange between water and air flow to generate steam. The steam evaporates and carries away the heat, thus dissipating the waste heat generated in industrial processes or refrigeration and air conditioning systems to lower the water temperature and ensure the normal operation of the system. The device is generally barrel-shaped, hence the name cooling tower.

[0003] Current cooling towers typically use motors to drive fans. The longer the motor is used, the more heat and wear it generates, leading to reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption. Furthermore, the excessive noise generated by the motor driving the fan can negatively impact the health of nearby residents. To address these issues, we propose a counter-flow circular high-efficiency energy-saving and noise-reducing cooling tower. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a counter-flow circular high-efficiency energy-saving and noise-reducing cooling tower to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a counter-flow circular high-efficiency energy-saving and noise-reducing cooling tower, comprising a cooling tower body, packing material, and water distribution pipes. A limiting box is provided on the tower body, and a water turbine is installed inside the limiting box. The water turbine is rotatably connected to the limiting box. A connecting rod is provided on the water turbine, and a fixing plate is provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the water turbine. A water receiving box and a water outlet pipe are provided on the fixing plate. A water receiving pipe is provided at the bottom of the water receiving box, and one end of the water receiving pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe. A fan is provided on the water outlet pipe. A distribution box is also provided on the tower body, and a water supply pipe, an inlet pipe, and a spray pipe are provided on the distribution box. A water pump is provided on the water supply pipe, and the end of the inlet pipe away from the distribution box is fixedly connected to the water distribution pipe.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the water spray pipe away from the diversion box is fixedly connected to the limiting box. By providing the water spray pipe, the water in the water spray pipe can impact the water turbine to rotate, thereby causing the water turbine to drive the fan to rotate.

[0008] Preferably, the tower body is provided with a fixing frame for fixing the limiting box. By providing the fixing frame, the limiting box can be easily fixed on the cooling tower.

[0009] Preferably, the interior of the tower body is provided with polyester fibers, which can effectively absorb noise inside the cooling tower.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting box has a plurality of water outlet holes, which are arranged at equal intervals around the circumference. The water outlet holes on the limiting box facilitate the flow of water after impacting the water turbine into the water receiving box.

[0011] Preferably, the water receiving box has holes that are adapted to the size of the water receiving pipes, and there are four water receiving pipes arranged at equal intervals around the circumference. When the water in the limiting box flows into the water receiving box, the water will flow through the water receiving pipes into the water outlet pipe.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects: This counter-flow circular high-efficiency energy-saving and noise-reducing cooling tower is equipped with a distribution box, a water spray pipe, a limit box and a water turbine. The water pump delivers water to the distribution box, and then the water spray pipe impacts the water turbine in the limit box, causing the water turbine to drive the fan to rotate. Thus, water energy is used to replace the electrical energy of the motor, which can effectively reduce the loss of electrical energy. Moreover, the noise generated when the water turbine drives the fan is reduced compared to when the motor drives the fan. In addition, polyester fiber is also installed in the tower body, which can effectively absorb noise and reduce the transmission of noise. Attached Figure Description
