[0030] In order to be more clear to the technical features of the scheme, the following through specific implementation, the scheme is described.

[0031] As Figure 1 Indicated, a kind of efficient circulating water delivery system, including cooling water tower 1, water collecting pool 2 located in the lower of cooling water tower 1, circulating water pump 3 with water collecting pool 2 are connected by pipeline one, and circulating water pump 3 is connected with heat exchanger 4 by pipeline two, and heat exchanger 4 is also connected with cooling water tower 1 by pipeline three;

[0032] Pipeline three is provided with backwater valve 5, flow sensor no. 1, hydraulic sensor;

[0033] Pipeline one is provided with water inlet valve 6, and the inside of water collecting pool 2 is provided with liquid level sensor;

[0034] Pipeline two is provided with water outlet valve 7, water inlet valve 8, flow sensor no. 2.

[0035] The heat exchanger 4 is provided with a temperature sensor;

[0036] The flow sensor one, the hydraulic sensor, the liquid level sensor, and the flow sensor two are connected with the PLC controller.

[0037] Further, the bottom valve 21 is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting pool 2 and connected with the pipeline one at the water outlet position.

[0038] Further, the backwater valve 5, the water inlet valve 6, the water outlet valve 7, the water inlet valve 8, and the bottom valve 21 are all electric micro-resistance valves, and are all connected with the PLC controller.

[0039] Preferably, the flow sensor one, the hydraulic sensor, the flow sensor two, the liquid level sensor, and the temperature sensor are all connected with the PLC controller, and the electric actuators of the backwater valve 5, the water inlet valve 6, the water outlet valve 7, the water inlet valve 8, and the bottom valve 21 are all connected with the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the opening degree of each valve by receiving the signals of each sensor and controlling the electric actuators of each valve, so as to improve the efficiency of the circulating water conveying system.

[0040] Preferably, the bottom valve 21 is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting pool 2 and connected with the pipeline one at the water outlet position, for controlling the water flow at the bottom of the water collecting pool 2, and the bottom valve 21 is a one-way valve, preventing the cooling water of the pipeline one from flowing back, and ensuring good suction conditions of the circulating water pump 3.

[0041] The PLC controller controls the opening and closing of the bottom valve 21 in real time according to the signal of the liquid level sensor. When the water level of the water collecting pool 2 is normal, the PLC controller keeps the bottom valve 21 open, ensuring smooth water flow. When the liquid level sensor detects that the water level of the water collecting pool 2 is too low, the PLC automatically closes the bottom valve 21, preventing the circulating water pump 3 from sucking in air, ensuring the continuity of the cooling water conveying, reducing the interruption of conveying caused by the backflow of cooling water or the entry of air, and improving the efficiency of the circulating water conveying and saving energy.

[0042] Preferably, the pipeline three is connected with the heat exchanger 4 and the cooling water tower 1, and the backwater valve 5, the flow sensor one, and the hydraulic sensor are all arranged on the pipeline three. The backwater valve 5 is a one-way valve, the flow sensor one is used for monitoring the cooling water flow of the pipeline three in real time, and the hydraulic sensor is used for monitoring the cooling water pressure of the pipeline three in real time.

[0043] The backwater valve 5 is used for controlling the flow of cooling water from the heat exchanger 4 back to the cooling water tower 1 according to the system demand, ensuring that the cooling water flows in one direction inside the pipeline three, preventing backflow, and maintaining the pressure balance of the system.

[0044] In normal operation, the PLC controller receives signals from the flow sensor one and the hydraulic sensor, calculates the flow and pressure of the cooling water in the pipeline three in real time, and controls the electric actuator of the return valve 5 according to the preset flow range of the cooling water in the pipeline three to adjust the opening of the return valve 5. If the flow of the cooling water in the pipeline three is lower than the preset value, the PLC controller increases the opening of the return valve 5. If the flow of the cooling water in the pipeline three is higher than the preset value, the PLC controller decreases the opening of the return valve 5. When the hydraulic sensor detects that the pressure of the cooling water in the pipeline three is abnormal (such as sudden drop in pressure), the PLC controller determines that there may be a risk of backflow, and then the PLC controller immediately closes the return valve 5 to prevent the cooling water from flowing back to the heat exchanger 4.

[0046] The liquid level sensor is installed in the water collecting pool 2 to monitor the water level of the water collecting pool 2 in real time. If the water level of the water collecting pool is normal, the water inlet valve 6 is opened. If the liquid level sensor detects that the water level of the water collecting pool 2 is high, the PLC controller increases the opening of the water inlet valve 6 to increase the water inlet flow. If the liquid level sensor detects that the water level of the water collecting pool 2 is low, the PLC controller decreases the opening of the water inlet valve 6. If the liquid level sensor detects that the water level of the water collecting pool 2 is too low and lower than the preset value of the system, the PLC controller closes the water inlet valve 6 to prevent the circulating water pump 3 from sucking air.

[0047] Preferably, the pipeline two connects the circulating water pump 3 and the heat exchanger 4, and the water outlet valve 7 and the water inlet valve 8 are installed on the pipeline two to control the flow of the cooling water from the circulating water pump 3 to the heat exchanger 4, so as to ensure that the heat exchanger 4 obtains sufficient cooling water.

[0048] The PLC controller receives signals from the flow sensor two, calculates the flow of the cooling water in the pipeline two in real time, and dynamically adjusts the opening of the water outlet valve 7 according to the demand of the heat exchanger 4. If the flow of the cooling water in the pipeline two is lower than the preset value, the PLC controller increases the opening of the water outlet valve 7. If the flow of the cooling water in the pipeline two is higher than the preset value, the PLC controller decreases the opening of the water outlet valve 7 to ensure the stability of the flow of the cooling water in the pipeline two.

[0049] The temperature sensor is installed at the cooling water inlet end one of the heat exchanger 4, which monitors the temperature of the cooling water in real time. If the temperature of the cooling water is too high, the PLC increases the opening of the water valve 8 to increase the flow of cooling water. If the temperature of the cooling water is too low, the PLC controller reduces the opening of the water valve 8 to reduce the flow of cooling water, so as to ensure the stability of the temperature of the cooling water. If the temperature of the cooling water is abnormal, the PLC controller closes the water valve 8 to protect the system equipment.
