Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of indirect air-cooled systems, and more precisely to a self-cleaning anti-flocculent device for radiators in indirect air-cooled systems. Background Technology

[0002] Air-cooled systems in power plants are divided into two types: direct air-cooled systems and indirect air-cooled systems. Indirect air-cooled systems have lower operating costs, lower noise, and are easier and faster to maintain. Indirect air-cooled systems use cooling triangle radiators for heat dissipation, which are vertically arranged around the outside of the natural draft cooling tower. The air-cooled radiators are housed inside the cooling triangle, which protects them, allowing the fins to freely contract and expand due to thermal barrier changes. The cooling triangle also provides protection during transportation and installation.

[0003] The sites surrounding indirect air-cooled system plants are typically surrounded by lush vegetation, and due to the widespread planting of willows and poplars, a large amount of willow and poplar catkins are produced in spring. These catkins are attracted to the surface of the air-cooled radiators by the suction force of the air-cooling tower. Since the fin spacing of the air-cooled radiators is approximately 3mm, this small spacing itself forms a filter-like structure, preventing the catkins from entering the radiator. However, the catkins accumulate on the air-inlet side of the radiator, forming a 2-3mm thick layer that embeds between the fins, almost completely blocking the airflow. This results in a sharp decrease in ventilation and a significant reduction in the cooling capacity of the air-cooled radiator. Therefore, regular cleaning of the air-cooled radiators is necessary.

[0004] Indirect air-cooled systems typically have high-pressure cleaning devices installed on the outside of the air-cooled radiators. These devices are used to remove dust and dirt from the radiator surface. However, when the radiator surface is covered with willow or poplar fluff, using a high-pressure cleaning device will only compress the fluff further, making it ineffective. Furthermore, because air-cooled radiators are vertically arranged and quite tall, it is difficult to effectively clean the covering layer manually.

[0005] In summary, there is a need in this field for a solution that can effectively prevent poplar and willow catkins from adhering to and accumulating on the surface of radiators, ensuring the heat dissipation performance of radiators during long-term use, while reducing the difficulty of cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-cleaning anti-flocculent device for radiators of indirect air-cooled systems, which reduces the amount of poplar and willow catkins adhering to the surface of the air-cooled radiator by setting a barrier to block poplar and willow catkins on the outside of the air-cooled radiator.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a self-cleaning anti-flocking device for an indirect air-cooled system radiator, which is installed in conjunction with the cooling triangular side plate of the air-cooled radiator. The cooling triangular side plate surrounds the radiator fins. The self-cleaning anti-flocking device for the indirect air-cooled system radiator includes two tracks installed in conjunction with the cooling triangular side plate. The two tracks are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction. Several screens are slidably stacked in the two tracks, and the bottommost screens are detachably connected to the two tracks.

[0008] Preferably, the two bottommost screens are detachably connected to the two tracks via several pins.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a bolt and a nut, the bolt passing through the rail and the cooling triangular side plate, and the bolt being threadedly connected to the nut.

[0015] Preferably, the screen window has a frame around its perimeter and a mesh in its center, the mesh having uniformly sized holes.

[0016] Preferably, the side length of the pore is the same as the end spacing of the radiator fins.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses a self-cleaning anti-flock device for an indirect air-cooled system radiator, which is integrated with the cooling triangular side plate 1 of the air-cooled radiator. The cooling triangular side plate 1 surrounds the radiator fins 10. The self-cleaning anti-flock device includes two tracks 2 integrated with the cooling triangular side plate 1. The two tracks 2 are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction. Several screens 3 are slidably stacked on the two tracks 2, and the bottommost screens 3 are detachably connected to the two tracks 2. During seasons with abundant poplar and willow catkins, the screens 3 are installed around the outside of the air-cooled radiator to block most of the catkins, preventing them from reaching the radiator fins 10, ensuring the heat dissipation performance of the air-cooled radiator, and reducing the frequency of cleaning. During cleaning, only sparse fluffy material remains on the radiator fins 10, which can be quickly and easily cleaned using a cleaning device. The number and size of the screens 3 are determined according to the size of the air-cooled radiator.

[0026] Specifically, a cover plate 4 is provided at the top of the top screen window 3. The cover plate 4 is slidably connected to two tracks 2. The cover plate 4 covers and protects the screen window 3 from the top.

[0027] Preferably, the two bottommost screens 3 are detachably connected to the two tracks 2 to simplify operation while ensuring support strength. Furthermore, the two bottommost screens 3 are detachably connected to the two tracks 2 via several latches 22.

[0028] The cooling triangular side plate 1 has lifting device working parts 200 on both sides of its bottom. Lifting devices are installed at the lifting device working parts 200.

The row of self-cleaning brushes 5 is fixedly connected to two tracks 2, and a vacuum cleaner extension tube 300 is installed on the side of one of the tracks 2. When removing the screen windows 3, remove the pin 22, then the lifting device falls back down, and the screen windows 3 are removed piece by piece from the bottom. During the descent of the screen windows 3, the row of self-cleaning brushes 5 sweeps the screen windows 3 as they pass, and the lint on the screen windows 3 accumulates on the row of self-cleaning brushes 5. Then, the vacuum cleaner extension tube 300 is removed to clean the row of self-cleaning brushes 5. Through the above operation, the screen windows can be cleaned while removing the screen windows 3, and the screen window removal operation is quick and convenient.

[0030] See Figure 3One end of the track 2 is connected to the cooling triangular side plate 1 via a connecting assembly 21, and the other end has a track groove 20, in which the screen window 3 is slidably installed. The connecting assembly 21 includes a bolt 211 and a nut 212. The bolt 211 passes through the track 2 and the cooling triangular side plate 1, and the bolt 211 and the nut 212 are threaded together.

[0031] See Figure 4 The screen window 3 has a frame 31 around its perimeter and a mesh 30 in the middle, with uniformly sized holes 301 on the mesh 30. The frame 31 is preferably made of aluminum alloy, and the mesh is preferably made of stainless steel to ensure that the screen window 3 is lightweight and durable. The side length A of the holes 301 is preferably the same as the end spacing of the radiator fins 10, so as to more accurately block fibrous materials.

[0032] See Figure 5 The latch 22 includes a latch base 221 mounted on the track 2 and a latch body 222 passing through the latch base 221, with the latch body 222 penetrating the side of the screen 3. The latch base 221 is welded and fixed to the outside of the track groove 20, and the latch body 222 is preferably a bolt, with the latch body 222 threadedly connected to the latch base 221 and the side of the screen 3.

[0033] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
