[0026] The technical solutions in the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 the embodiment of the present application, a water-saving cooling tower is provided, which comprises a closed cooling tower and an open cooling tower connected in series.
[0028] As shown in Figure 2 the embodiment, the closed cooling tower comprises a support frame 1, a plurality of finned tube bundles 2 arranged on the support frame 1, and a plurality of first fans 3 arranged between the finned tube bundles 2. The support frame 1 is used to support the overall structure of the equipment and ensure the stable operation of the equipment under high temperature and high pressure working conditions. The material is hot-dip galvanized steel or magnesium-aluminum-zinc plated sheet, which has high strength and corrosion resistance. The finned tube bundle 2 comprises a base pipe and fins, wherein the base pipe is arranged in a bent and crossed manner on the support frame 1, and the fins are arranged around the outside of the base pipe. At the same time, the finned tube bundle 2 passes between adjacent fans in a bent manner, and the projection of the finned tube bundle 2 in the horizontal direction is within the coverage range of the fan. The tube is usually made of stainless steel (S30408), and the fin is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy (AL1060) to improve the heat exchange efficiency and corrosion resistance. The fin includes L-shaped, KL-shaped and bimetallic fins, and the arrangement mode adopts cross arrangement or in-line arrangement to optimize the airflow distribution and heat exchange efficiency. The first fans 3 are vertically arranged in the extension direction of the finned tube bundle 2 at intervals, and the first fans 3 are distributed in parallel with each other at equal intervals. As a preferred, a louver is arranged at the air inlet of the first fan 3 to adjust the air intake.
[0029] When the closed cooling tower is working, the hot fluid enters the finned tube bundle 2 through the inlet pipe, the fan forces air to flow through the outside of the finned tube bundle 2, absorbs the heat of the medium in the tube, and the cooled medium flows out through the outlet pipe, completing the cooling cycle. During the whole process, the medium is completely isolated from the air, and no water is evaporated, realizing water-saving operation.
[0030] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the open cooling tower comprises a base 4, a plurality of water passing cavities 5 arranged on the base 4, a water collecting disc 8 arranged at the bottom of the base 4, the water passing cavity 5 is internally provided with a filler 6, the top of the water passing cavity 5 is further provided with a second fan 7 in correspondence, the second fan 7 is horizontally arranged, and the side of the water passing cavity 5 is provided with an air inlet grille so as to supply air. The filler 6 is a honeycomb structure made of PVC material, thereby increasing the water film contact area, improving the heat exchange efficiency, and simultaneously optimizing the airflow channel to reduce the wind resistance. The filler 6 is made of modified PVC material, and an anti-algae agent and an ultraviolet stabilizer are added to improve the service life.
[0031] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 In a further scheme, the top of the filler 6 is provided with a nozzle, which uniformly sprays the water entering the filler 6 below, ensuring that the water and air are in full contact. The nozzle is usually made of polypropylene / ABS, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. The water collecting disc 8 covers the bottom surface of all the water passing cavities 5, and the water collecting disc 8 is arranged in a whole inclined manner, and the bottom end of the water collecting disc 8 is connected with a water outlet pipe. The water collecting disc 8 is made of magnesium-aluminum-zinc plated sheet or stainless steel, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
[0032] When the open cooling tower is working, hot water is uniformly distributed to the surface of the filler 6 through the water distribution system. The fan forces air to flow through the filler 6 and exchanges heat with the water, absorbing the heat of the water. The cooled water flows into the water collecting disc 8, completing the cooling cycle. In the whole process, the water and air are in direct contact, and heat is dissipated through evaporation, realizing efficient cooling.
[0033] The overall working process of the embodiment of the utility model is: the hot fluid first enters the water-saving closed cooling tower, and is preliminarily cooled through the heat exchange between air and finned tube bundle 2. The fluid cooled preliminarily enters the all-steel square cross-flow open cooling tower, and is further reduced in temperature through the direct contact between water and air. The cooled fluid returns to the production system, completing the cooling cycle. In the whole process, the closed cooling tower reduces water evaporation, and the open cooling tower reduces water consumption through optimized design, realizing the balance of water saving and energy saving.
