Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of closed-loop cooling tower technology, and in particular to a closed-loop cooling tower. Background Technology
[0002] Closed-circuit cooling towers place tubular heat exchangers inside the tower. Cooling is achieved through heat exchange between circulating air, external spray water, and internal circulating water. Because the circulating water is in a closed loop, it ensures that the water quality is not polluted, effectively protecting the efficient operation of the main equipment and extending its service life. When the outside temperature is low, the spray water system can be shut down, saving water. With the implementation of national energy conservation and emission reduction policies and the increasing scarcity of water resources, closed-circuit cooling towers have been widely used in industries such as steel metallurgy, power electronics, machining, and air conditioning systems in recent years.
[0003] Existing closed-loop cooling towers use spray pipes to spray water onto the condenser tubes for heat dissipation. Because the water is recycled, impurities from outside the tower can easily enter the water flow inside the tower through the ventilation windows, clogging the spray pipes during transportation and affecting the operation of the equipment. Therefore, a closed-loop cooling tower is needed. Utility Model Content
