Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater cooling technology, specifically an alkaline wastewater cooling and recycling system. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial alkaline wastewater with excessively high temperatures requires cooling treatment. If the wastewater enters the treatment process directly at excessively high temperatures, it may affect the activity of microorganisms, thus impacting the effectiveness of biological treatment. Cooling tower cooling is a common physical method for cooling industrial alkaline wastewater. The cooling process primarily relies on two principles: evaporative cooling and contact cooling. The cooling tower's operation includes: hot water intake, air intake, heat exchange, hot air exhaust, and cooling water collection.
[0003] Since the temperature of the collected cooled wastewater is lower than that of the hot wastewater entering the cooling tower, the cooled wastewater can be introduced as a low-temperature medium to participate in the heat exchange process. Therefore, it can be recycled and reused for heat exchange to cool the hot wastewater, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling tower. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an alkaline wastewater cooling and recycling system to further improve the cooling efficiency of cooling towers.

The inner end of the first inlet is connected to a water distribution system 1 located inside the cooling tower body, and the inner end of the second inlet is connected to a water distribution system 2 located inside the cooling tower body. The second water distribution system is located below the first water distribution system and above the water-spreading packing material.
[0006] The two outer ends of the water inlet are connected to one end of the circulation pipeline. A water pump is installed on the circulation pipeline. The other end of the circulation pipeline is connected to the water outlet at the bottom of the water storage tank. Wastewater in the water storage tank is pumped to the cooling tower body by the water pump. The water collection tank is provided with a drain outlet for the cooling wastewater. The drain outlet is connected to the water inlet of the water storage tank through a drain pipeline.
[0007] Preferably, the water storage tank is horizontal, and a filter screen is provided in the middle of the water storage tank to separate the inner cavity of the water storage tank. The water inlet and water outlet are located on both sides of the filter screen.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the water storage tank has a slag discharge port on the side of the filter screen near the water inlet.
