[0013] The cooling device water supply system can switch the forward and reverse water supply paths according to the internal silt accumulation condition of the cooling device.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the embodiment is applied to the water supply system of the air cooler of the generator of a certain hydropower station.

[0015] The water supply system of the air cooler of the generator mainly comprises a four-way valve 3, a water supply pipe 2, a drain pipe 5, branch pipes 41 and 42, a differential pressure transmitter 6, pressure gauges 71 and 72, and an isolation valve 1.

[0016] The four-way valve 3 is an electric valve, and a controller of the four-way valve 3 controls the switching direction of the four-way valve. In the embodiment, the controller of the electric valve is connected with the differential pressure transmitter 6 to obtain the signal of the differential pressure transmitter 6, so as to control the switching direction of the four-way valve 3.

[0017] The four interfaces A, C, B and D of the four-way valve 3 are connected with the water supply pipe 2, the drain pipe 5 and the branch pipes 41 and 42 respectively. The water supply pipe 2 and the drain pipe 5 are each provided with a measuring pipe connected to the differential pressure transmitter 6, and the two measuring pipes are provided with the pressure gauges 71 and 72. The water source of the water supply pipe 2 is from a technical water supply system, and the isolation valve 1 is arranged on the water supply pipe 2. The drain pipe 5 is connected to the tail water pipe of the hydropower station or other drainage positions. The branch pipes 41 and 42 are connected with the first water inlet and outlet interfaces E and the second water inlet and outlet interfaces F of the cooling device 8.

[0018] When the water is supplied in the forward direction, the four-way valve 3 is in the position of A and D. Figure 1The cooling water enters the cooler 8 via the water supply pipe 2, the interfaces A and B of the four-way valve 3, the branch pipe 41 and the first inlet and outlet water interface E of the cooler 8. The heat-exchanged cooling water is discharged to the tail pipe or other positions via the second inlet and outlet water interface F of the cooler 8, the branch pipe 42, the interfaces D and C of the four-way valve 3 and the water discharge pipe 5.

[0019] When there is silt accumulation in the cooler 8 or there is a risk of silt accumulation, two modes of switching can be considered. Mode one: timing switching; mode two: switching according to the monitoring of the differential pressure transmitter. The embodiment is based on mode two for principle elaboration.

[0020] When there is silt accumulation in the cooler, the pipe loss in the system will become larger, the monitoring data of the differential pressure transmitter will exceed the set value, triggering the four-way valve to work and switching the position to the reverse water supply direction, that is, Figure 2 The cooling water enters the cooler 8 via the water supply pipe 2, the interfaces A and D of the four-way valve 3, the branch pipe 42 and the second inlet and outlet water interface F of the cooler 8. The heat-exchanged cooling water is discharged to the tail pipe or other positions via the first inlet and outlet water interface E of the cooler, the branch pipe 41, the interfaces B and C of the four-way valve 3 and the water discharge pipe 5.

[0021] By switching the forward and reverse water supply paths, the silt accumulation that may occur in the cooler can be effectively alleviated, the maintenance cycle of the cooler is prolonged, and the service life of the equipment is prolonged. The mode of timing switching is similar, and will not be described in detail.

[0022] The isolation valves shown in the system only illustrate the principle, and the type can be manual or automatic. The automatic operation of the entire system can be realized through automatic control. The embodiment takes the water supply of a single cooler as an example, and other multi-cooler projects can be used according to the actual situation.
