[0002] With the development of locomotive and motor car, its cooling system performance plays a vital role in overall operation efficiency and environmental adaptability. At present, cooling tower usually adopts direct current ventilator to cool radiator. This design meets the cooling demand to some extent, but there are obvious deficiencies under different environmental temperature conditions.
[0003] In summer, due to high environmental temperature, the temperature of ventilator inlet air is increased, and radiator needs greater heat dissipation capacity to maintain normal operation. Therefore, to meet the requirement of high heat dissipation, the air volume of ventilator needs to be significantly increased, thereby leading to the increase of ventilator volume and power.

However, since the design of fan in the existing cooling tower system is usually optimized for extreme high temperature conditions, in low temperature environment, most of the performance of ventilator is idle, the energy utilization efficiency is significantly reduced, causing serious resource waste.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment of the utility model, a low-noise cooling tower cooling equipment, including radiator 1, fan 2, spray device 3 and control terminal 4. Radiator 1 is communicated with cooling circulation pipeline 11. Fan 2 and radiator 1 are communicated. Spray device 3 and fan 2 are communicated. Control terminal 4 is electrically connected with fan 2 and spray device 3 respectively.
[0029] Radiator 1 is connected with cooling tower cooling object through cooling circulation pipeline 11, high-temperature medium is transported to radiator 1 to carry out heat exchange cooling, and the medium after cooling is transported back to the corresponding equipment, realizes cooling circulation. Radiator 1 realizes heat exchange function through the cooperation of fan 2, spray device 3 and control terminal 4. Among them, fan 2 is responsible for guiding airflow to carry out air cooling, spray device 3 sprays atomized water to fan 2 export area, and control terminal 4 controls the running state of fan 2 and spray device 3 according to operating parameters. By controlling the operation of the two modes of air cooling and water cooling through control terminal 4, the power output of fan 2 can be optimized according to the actual heat dissipation demand, the noise of fan 2 is reduced and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved, and different environmental temperature conditions are adapted.
[0030] The cooling equipment provides two control logics, namely a control loop based on medium temperature and a control loop based on fan 2 noise.
[0031] Temperature sensor 12 is arranged on cooling circulation pipeline 11, temperature sensor 12 detects the temperature of medium in cooling circulation pipeline 11 in real time, and transmits data to control terminal 4. Control terminal 4 adjusts the speed of fan 2 and the running state of spray device 3 according to temperature data to meet the heat dissipation demand. Through the temperature feedback closed-loop control system, the intelligent linkage of fan 2 and spray device 3 is realized, and the heat dissipation demand under different temperature conditions is dynamically adapted.
[0032] In one embodiment, when the radiator 1 outlet temperature ≤ 45℃, the spray device 3 is closed, and after the spray device 3 is closed, the radiator 1 outlet medium temperature will remain low or rise under the wind cooling of the fan 2; when the radiator 1 outlet temperature rises until the temperature ≥ 55℃, the spray device 3 is started, and when the radiator 1 outlet medium temperature continues to be 55℃ or has an increasing trend, the spray amount is gradually increased until the maximum spray amount enhances the cooling effect; when the radiator 1 outlet temperature shows a decreasing trend, the spray amount is gradually reduced, and when the radiator 1 outlet temperature ≤ 45℃, the spray device 3 is closed.
[0033] The fan 2 is provided with a noise sensor 21, which monitors the noise level of the fan 2 in real time and transmits the monitoring data to the control terminal 4. The control terminal 4 adjusts the speed of the fan 2 or enables the spray device 3 according to the noise condition to reduce the noise caused by high-speed operation of the fan 2.
[0034] The spray device 3 includes a water-cooled water tank 31 and an atomizing nozzle 32, the spray device 3 provides water for the atomizing nozzle 32 through the water-cooled water tank 31, the atomizing nozzle 32 atomizes and sprays water mist to the outlet area of the fan 2, and forms a double cooling effect in combination with wind cooling. The condensed water in the water mist is separated and recovered by using gas-liquid separation technology, thereby reducing the waste of spray water.
[0035] The outside of the radiator 1 is provided with a gas-liquid separation device 5, which includes an air outlet 51 and a liquid outlet 52, and the liquid outlet 52 is communicated with the water-cooled water tank 31. The airflow generated by the fan 2 mixes with the water mist and then exchanges heat with the radiator 1, and the atomized airflow after heat exchange is separated into liquid phase and gas phase under the action of the gas-liquid separation device 5, wherein the liquid phase forms water droplets and is collected at the liquid outlet 52 for discharge, and the gas phase is discharged through the air outlet 51. The water discharged from the liquid outlet 52 enters the water-cooled water tank 31 for recycling.
[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The gas-liquid separation device 5 further includes a plurality of separation cavities 53 and a plurality of air inlets 54, each separation cavity 53 is an independent space and is isolated from each other, the separation cavity 53 is preferably a cylindrical space, and the air inlet 54 is communicated on the side wall of the separation cavity 53 and is arranged eccentric to the central axis of the separation cavity 53. The radiator 1 includes a plurality of heat dissipation units 13, and the plurality of heat dissipation units 13 are arranged inside the corresponding separation cavities 53 and are communicated with each other, and the cooling medium sequentially passes through each heat dissipation unit 13 for heat exchange in the separation cavities 53.
[0037] The eccentric design of the air inlet 54 makes the airflow rotate in the separation chamber 53 to form a vortex, and separates the gas-liquid phase by using gravity and centrifugal force, thereby improving the efficiency of water mist and air separation, and optimizing the air flow path to enhance heat dissipation. At the same time, the heat dissipation unit 13 itself can also act as a baffling separation structure when in contact with the airflow, such as designing the heat dissipation unit 13 into a coil shape to improve the contact rate of the airflow with the heat dissipation unit 13. When the gas-liquid mixture encounters an obstruction, the airflow will be deflected to the top exhaust port 51, while the liquid will adhere to the obstruction surface due to inertia and fall under the action of gravity. This design integrates the radiator 1 and the gas-liquid separation device 5 into one structure, which separates the gas-liquid mixture while exchanging heat with the heat dissipation unit 13, thereby improving the integration of the system and enhancing the compactness of the equipment.
[0038] Further, a filter 55 is provided between the radiator 1 and the liquid outlet 52, which filters the impurities in the backflow water to ensure the cleanliness of the backflow water and avoid clogging the spray device 3.
[0039] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The filter 55 is used as a gas-liquid separation structure. The filter 55 increases the contact area between the gas-liquid mixture and the obstruction by arranging closely spaced pores, and uses the baffling separation principle to make the airflow deflected to the exhaust port 51, while the liquid adheres to the obstruction surface due to inertia and falls under the action of gravity.
