AI Technical Summary
In common cooling towers, the cooling water falls vertically and has a short contact time with the cold air, resulting in low cooling efficiency.
The system employs movable screens and lifting components to extend the descent time of cooling water within the cooling tower. The up-and-down swinging of the movable screens extends the contact time between the cooling water and the cold air, allowing for heat exchange in conjunction with the cold air blown down by the cooling fan.
It improves the heat exchange efficiency between cooling water and cold air, achieving higher cooling efficiency.

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to a high-efficiency cooling tower for air conditioning. BACKGROUND
[0002] The air conditioning cooling tower is a device for dissipating waste heat generated in refrigeration air conditioning through evaporation by water and air contact. The upper part of the air conditioning cooling tower is a fan that drives air to flow upward, and the lower part of the fan is a filler layer. A liquid distributor is arranged in the tower. The basic working principle is that dry air enters the cooling tower after being drawn by the fan. High-temperature water molecules with high pressure flow to air with low pressure. Hot and humid water is sprayed into the tower from the liquid distributor. Water droplets and air contact in the filler layer. On the one hand, air and water directly exchange heat. On the other hand, there is a pressure difference between the water vapor surface and the air. Under the action of pressure, evaporation occurs, which takes away the heat in the water, that is, evaporative heat transfer, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling.

The cooling assembly comprises at least two heat dissipation filler structures, at least two water distribution structures, a fan and a refrigeration host. At least one water distribution structure is arranged above each heat dissipation filler structure. The bottom of the water distribution structure is provided with a plurality of nozzles. The refrigeration host is connected with the bottom of the tower body. The constant-pressure water supply assembly comprises a constant-pressure water tank and at least two constant-pressure water pipes. The constant-pressure water tank and the constant-pressure water pipes are located in the tower body. The constant-pressure water tank is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the tower body. The water distribution structure is connected with the constant-pressure water tank through the constant-pressure water pipe.
