Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler technology, specifically to a novel water tank for a composite air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] An air cooler is a device that uses ambient air as a cooling medium, which flows across the outside of finned tubes to cool or condense the high-temperature process fluid inside the tubes. It is also called an "air cooler" or "air-cooled heat exchanger".
[0003] Air coolers are used in petrochemical and oil and gas processing production as heat exchangers for condensation and cooling. Water tanks are used in the operation of air coolers for cooling, but these tanks cannot filter the incoming water. Impurities inevitably accumulate in the water, and if left untreated for a long time, scale can form inside the equipment, causing blockages. Furthermore, these tanks lack surface cleaning capabilities, allowing dust to accumulate on the components, which can negatively impact heat exchange efficiency. To address these technical problems, we have designed a new type of water tank for composite air coolers. Utility Model Content

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 A novel water tank for a composite air cooler includes a frame 1, with a heat exchange tube 2 connected to the inner cavity of the frame 1. Heat exchange plates 3 are horizontally fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the frame 1 and on the surface of the heat exchange tube 2. Limiting frames 5 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the frame 1. A cleaning mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the frame 1. A water inlet mechanism 6 is provided on the right side of the frame 1. A support frame 7 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame 1. A fan 8 is embedded in the rear side of the support frame 7. The water inlet mechanism 6 includes a filter box 9, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the frame 1. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a support frame 17, which is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The bottom of the filter box 9 is connected to a connecting pipe 12, the top of the filter box 9 is connected to a water injection pipe 10, a bracket 13 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the filter box 9, a filter screen plate 11 is fixedly installed horizontally in the inner cavity of the filter box 9, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 2.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An electric push rod 14 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the bracket 13. The output end of the electric push rod 14 passes through the inner cavity of the bracket 13 and is fixedly connected to a movable plate 15. By setting the movable plate 15, the electric push rod 14 can drive the cleaning plate 16 to move.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A cleaning plate 16 is installed through the rear side of the inner cavity of the filter box 9. The rear side of the cleaning plate 16 extends through the inner cavity of the bracket 13 and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 15. By setting the cleaning plate 16, impurities on the filter screen 11 can be cleaned to prevent the filter screen 11 from becoming clogged.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A motor 18 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support frame 17. The output end of the motor 18 passes through the inner cavity of the support frame 17 and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 19. A threaded plate 20 is threaded on the surface of the threaded rod 19. A rinsing spray plate 21 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the threaded plate 20.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Cleaning brushes 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the rinsing spray plate 21. Telescopic water pipes 23 are connected to opposite sides of the two rinsing spray plates 21. By setting the cleaning brushes 22, the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 and heat exchange plate 3 can be brushed and then used in conjunction with the rinsing spray plate 21 to clean the dirt.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are several fans 8 and heat exchange tubes 2, two limit frames 5, and a sealing door plate is fixedly installed on the front side of the filter box 9. By setting the sealing door plate, the inside of the filter box 9 can be cleaned to prevent impurities from accumulating inside the filter box 9.
[0026] During use, the user injects cooling water into the filter box 9 through the water injection pipe 10. As the water enters the filter box 9, the filter screen 11 filters it to prevent impurities from entering the equipment. During prolonged use, the user periodically operates the electric push rod 14, causing its output end to move the cleaning plate 16 via the movable plate 15. This allows the cleaning plate 16 to clean the surface of the filter screen 11, preventing clogging. After cleaning, the connecting pipe 12 guides the water into the heat exchange tube 2 for heat exchange. During heat exchange, the user periodically controls the motor 18, which drives the threaded plate 20 to move via the threaded rod 19. The threaded plate 20 then drives the rinsing spray plate 21 and the cleaning brush 22 to move. The rinsing spray plate 21, through the telescopic water pipe 23, washes the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 and the heat exchange plate 3. During rinsing, the rinsing spray plate 21 also drives the cleaning brush 22 to scrub the heat exchange tube 2 and the heat exchange plate 3, preventing dirt from adhering to the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 and the heat exchange plate 3, thus preventing any impact on the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 2 and the heat exchange plate 3.
[0027] In summary, this composite air cooler uses a new type of water tank. Through the cooperation of frame 1, heat exchange tube 2, heat exchange fins 3, cleaning mechanism 4, limiting frame 5, water inlet mechanism 6, support frame 7, fan 8, filter box 9, and water injection pipe 10, it solves the problems of the inability to filter the incoming water, the water easily carrying impurities into the equipment, which can easily lead to scale buildup inside the equipment, and the lack of surface cleaning function, which allows a large amount of dust to adhere to the equipment surface, thus affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the equipment.
