Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically relating to a dry-wet separation, fog-eliminating, and water-saving cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling towers are key equipment used for cooling in water circulation systems. Since the temperature of the circulating water inside the tower is generally higher than the outdoor air temperature, the temperature difference between the two leads to the generation of white mist-like hot air, which is especially noticeable in winter.

[0003] Currently, excessively high water pump pressure or excessively fast water flow in cooling towers on the market may cause excessively high circulating water velocity, resulting in water splashing in the cooling tower and water mist at the air inlet. In addition, in cold seasons, the louvers of the cooling tower are prone to freezing and frost due to water mist at the air inlet, which may damage the louvers at the air inlet, hinder ventilation and heat dissipation, and even cause equipment damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dry-wet separation anti-fogging and water-saving cooling tower that can prevent icing and frosting of louvers, and can quickly defrost and remove ice, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.

A first water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the cooling tower body. The inlet end of the first water pump is connected to the cooling tower body. The output end of the first water pump is connected to a first delivery pipe, and one end of the first delivery pipe is connected to the cooling tower body. An inlet pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the cooling tower body. Both ends of the inlet pipe extend to the outside of the cooling tower body. Multiple sets of louvers are provided on the outside of the cooling tower body. Built-in filters are installed inside the louvers. Heating components are provided on the louvers.

[0007] Preferably, the heating assembly includes a pipe heater fixedly installed on one side of the cooling tower body.

The copper pipe is fixedly attached to the louver and is S-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, a water collection tank is fixedly installed around the bottom of the cooling tower body, and the top of the water collection tank has multiple slots for use with louvers, and filter screens are fixedly installed on the slots.

[0009] Preferably, the blades of each set of louvers are inclined downwards, and a filter screen is provided on the top of the water collection tank at the opening.

[0010] Preferably, a second water pump is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling tower body near the first water pump. The inlet end of the second water pump is connected to a second delivery pipe, and one side of the second delivery pipe is connected to a water collection tank. The outlet end of the second water pump is connected to the cooling tower body.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting pipe is connected to one side of the cooling tower body and near the first water pump for replacing the water inside the cooling tower body and reducing the accumulation of scale.

[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model discloses a dry and wet separation defogging and water-saving cooling tower.

[0020] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a dry and wet separation defogging and water-saving cooling tower includes a cooling tower body 1. A fan 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the cooling tower body 1. A first water pump 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the cooling tower body 1. The water inlet of the first water pump 3 is connected to the cooling tower body 1. The output end of the first water pump 3 is connected to a first delivery pipe 4, and one end of the first delivery pipe 4 is connected to the cooling tower body 1. The inner cavity of the cooling tower body 1 is connected to a water inlet pipe 5. Both ends of the water inlet pipe 5 extend to the outside of the cooling tower body 1. Multiple sets of louvers 6 are provided on the outside of the cooling tower body 1. An internal filter screen 13 is installed inside the louvers 6. A heating component is provided on the louvers 6.

[0022] During the heat exchange between the water inlet pipe 5 and the louver 6, mist is generated. Through the coordinated action of the first water pump 3 and the first delivery pipe 4, water at the bottom of the cooling tower body 1 can be delivered to the nozzle at the top of the cooling tower body 1, realizing the recycling of water resources and improving water-saving efficiency. At the same time, this process can also be sprayed to remove mist. The fan 2 is designed to exhaust the air inside the cooling tower body 1 that has undergone dry-wet separation to the outside, further enhancing the defogging and water-saving effects.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly includes a pipe heater 10 fixedly installed on one side of the cooling tower body 1. The bottom of the pipe heater 10 is connected to multiple connecting valves 11. The bottom of each connecting valve 11 is connected to a copper pipe 12. The copper pipe 12 is fixedly attached to the louver 6 and is S-shaped.

[0024] Specifically, the configuration of the pipe heater 10 is not only for providing a heat source, but it is also equipped with a temperature regulation function. It can automatically adjust the heating power according to the ambient temperature and the operating status of the cooling tower to achieve the optimal heating effect, thereby avoiding equipment damage caused by freezing. The design of the connecting valve 11 is used to transmit warm air to the outside of the louver 6 to heat the louver 6, which can prevent the louver 6 from freezing and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. In addition, it can quickly defrost and remove ice when it is cold and icy in winter, reduce downtime, improve production efficiency, and extend the service life of the equipment. The S-shaped bend can make the heat evenly transferred to the louver 6.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a water collection tank 7 is fixedly installed around the bottom of the cooling tower body 1. The top of the water collection tank 7 has multiple slots that work with the louvers 6, and a filter screen 14 is fixedly installed on the slots.

[0026] The water collection tank 7 is designed to collect the water melted during the heating process of the louvers 6, preventing water droplets from dripping directly onto the ground and causing waste, and preventing ice formation around the bottom of the cooling tower body 1 in cold winter, ensuring that staff can work safely.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the blades of each set of louvers 6 are tilted downwards, and a filter screen 14 is installed on the top of the water collection tank 7 at the slot opening.

[0028] The inclined design is more conducive to preventing water droplets from splashing out. It can quickly slide water that splashes onto the louver 6 towards the water collection tank 7 and flow into the filter screen 14 through the slot, so as to realize the recycling of water resources.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second water pump 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling tower body 1 near the first water pump 3. The inlet end of the second water pump 8 is connected to a second delivery pipe 9, and one side of the second delivery pipe 9 is connected to the water collection tank 7. The outlet end of the second water pump 8 is connected inside the cooling tower body 1.

[0030] Specifically, the second water pump 8 drives the second delivery pipe 9 to transport the water collected in the water collection tank 7 back to the cooling tower body 1, thereby achieving recycling.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a connecting pipe 15 is connected to one side of the cooling tower body 1 and near the first water pump 3, which is used to replace the water in the cooling tower body 1 and reduce the accumulation of scale.

[0032] The design includes a connecting pipe 15 for replacing the water in the cooling tower body 1 to improve the water quality inside the cooling tower body 1 and ensure the cooling efficiency of the device. By regularly replacing the water in the cooling tower body 1, the accumulation of scale can be reduced, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the staff detects that ice has formed on the surface of the cooling tower body 1. Then, the pipe heater 10 is activated, and heat is transferred to the inside of the copper pipe 12 through the connecting valve 11, and then to the surface of the louver 6, so that the ice on the surface melts. Then, the melted ice turns into water, drips from the louver 6 into the slot and then into the water collection tank 7. Finally, the second water pump 8 drives the second delivery pipe 9 to recover the water collected in the water collection tank 7 back into the cooling tower body 1, thereby completing the de-icing work of the louver 6.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
