Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling tower, especially to a waterway pipeline structure of cross flow closed cooling tower. BACKGROUND

[0002] The closed cooling tower works in three parts circulation. The first side circulation (external circulation) of the heat-carrying solution (circulating hot water) flows through the coil of the closed cooling tower, which is divided into four stages for heat transfer: ① the heat of the heat-carrying solution is first transferred to the inner surface of the coil by convection heat transfer; ② the heat is conducted through the pipe wall to the outer surface of the coil; ③ the outer surface of the coil is convected to the water film flowing outside the pipe; ④ finally, the water film is transferred to the air by evaporation and convection heat transfer. The second side circulation (self circulation) is that the spray water is pumped from the lower water tray of the cooling tower to the water distribution system by the spray water pump, uniformly distributed on the heat dissipation material by the water distribution piece, and exchanges latent heat and sensible heat with the air to pre-cool, then flows to the coil group to form a stable water film on the outer wall of the pipe to absorb the heat transferred by the medium in the pipe, and finally returns to the water tray. Air circulation: the fan sucks the unsaturated air outside the cooling tower into the tower, and the airflow exchanges latent heat and sensible heat with the spray water of the second side circulation (self circulation) passing through the coil and the heat dissipation material to absorb heat, then separates the water vapor through a special water baffle, and finally discharges the nearly saturated wet air outside the tower. Through the above three circulation and four-stage heat exchange, the closed cooling tower cools the first heat-carrying solution to the required temperature to return to the system to maintain its normal operation.

[0003] The existing closed cooling tower has a design idea of providing an upper and lower layered, multi-segment modular design structure of the heat dissipation coil to realize the purpose of starting and stopping at any time and disassembling and repairing at any time. For example, the manufacturing process of a closed cooling tower with a heat dissipation coil modular design with the patent number 200510030108.6 mainly includes the following steps: providing an upper and lower layered, multi-segment modular design structure of the heat dissipation coil. The scheme is ingenious, the coil is designed in a modular way, and each layer of structure is the same, which is simple and convenient for manufacturing and storage, can reduce manufacturing cost, and is easy to assemble, and is extremely valuable for promotion. The similar idea is also disclosed in the patent number 201410065820.9, a coil of a counterflow closed cooling tower, but the existing technology has the problem of unreasonable waterway arrangement and inconvenient disassembly and maintenance. Please refer to the attached Figure 1 The coil waterway is designed in a modular mode, but the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are arranged on the inner side and the outer side of the coil, especially the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe on the outer side, which will hinder the maintenance of the coil. It is necessary to further improve the use effect of the modular coil and optimize the waterway pipeline structure. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0010] Furthermore, the water pipe structure also includes a spray water system, which includes a spray pump, a spray pipe, and a water distributor. The water distributor is located on the upper part of the frame, above the coils and heat sinks.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention arranges the inlet and outlet water pipes inside the coil, so that the inlet and outlet water pipes no longer obstruct the movement of the coil during maintenance and disassembly, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The accompanying drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure and, together with the description thereof, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure. These drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification.

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a conventional crossflow closed-circuit cooling tower.

[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the water pipe structure of a crossflow closed cooling tower according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0017] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the spray water circuit of a crossflow closed cooling tower according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0018] The specific labels in the attached figures are as follows:

[0019] Water inlet pipe-1, water outlet pipe-2, coil-3, water inlet pipe-4, water outlet pipe-5, rack-6, heat sink-7, spray pump-8, spray pipe-9, water diffuser-10, water tray-11, spray water inlet pipe-12. Detailed Implementation

[0020] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a water pipe structure for a crossflow closed-circuit cooling tower. The main water pipes in the crossflow closed-circuit cooling tower include cooling water pipes for external water sources to enter and exit, as well as spray water pipes. In the prior art, the main obstacle to the maintenance and dismantling of the coil is the cooling water pipes. The main improvement of this solution is that the inlet and outlet water pipes in the cooling water pipes are arranged on both sides of the coil, which affects the operation.

The water inlet branch pipe 4 and the water outlet branch pipe 5 are arranged inside the coil pipe 3. During maintenance, the personnel only need to stand in the cross flow closed cooling tower and directly operate. When the coil pipe 3 is removed, the coil pipe can be directly taken out by a crane. The water inlet pipe 1 and the water outlet pipe 2 are arranged below the rack 6 of the cross flow closed cooling tower and are communicated with the water inlet branch pipe 4 and the water outlet branch pipe 5, respectively.

[0023] The coil pipe in the scheme is a heat dissipation coil pipe with a layered and multi-section modular design structure. Thus, the damaged part can be replaced according to the working condition of the coil pipe.

[0024] In the structure of the cross flow closed cooling tower, the heat dissipation sheet 7 is arranged between the coil pipes 3 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the coil pipe 3.

[0025] In the specific scheme, the coil pipe 3 is detachably mounted on the rack 6 of the cross flow closed cooling tower and is arranged on both sides of the rack 6, that is, the water inlet branch pipe 4 and the water outlet branch pipe 5 are arranged in the middle part of the rack 6.

[0026] The spray waterway in the scheme comprises a spray pump 8, a spray pipe 9, a water distributor 10, a water tray 11 and a spray water inlet pipe 12. The water distributor 10 is arranged on the upper part of the rack 6 and is located above the coil pipe 3 and the heat dissipation sheet 7.
