[0030] The heating mechanism is used to provide heat to make the medium reach the required temperature. In this embodiment, an electric resistance wire heating mechanism is adopted, which includes an electric resistance wire, the electric resistance wire is arranged on the inner wall of the medium storage tank 31, and the electric resistance wire is connected with a terminal for connecting a power supply to introduce current into the electric resistance wire.

[0032] The anchor type stirrer and the electric resistance wire heating mechanism adopted in this embodiment belong to commonly used components, and the above content can realize the basic functions, and the specific details will not be described in detail.

[0033] The liquid outlet of the medium storage tank 31 is communicated with the cooling pipeline inside the air cooler 1 to be tested through the liquid removal pipeline 51, and the end of the liquid removal pipeline 51 is provided with a first adapter 313 connected with the cooling pipeline; the liquid return port of the medium storage tank 31 is communicated with the cooling pipeline inside the air cooler 1 to be tested through the liquid return pipeline 52, and the end of the liquid return pipeline 52 is provided with a second adapter 314 connected with the cooling pipeline.

[0034] The first adapter 313 and the second adapter 314 in this embodiment are quick connection adapters, and threaded connection adapters, flange connection adapters or other adapters can also be selected according to the actual situation.

[0035] The liquid removal pipeline 51 is provided with a delivery pump 39, an inlet flow regulating valve 310, an inlet pressure detection device 311 and a liquid temperature sensor five 312 in sequence along the medium conveying direction. The inlet flow regulating valve 310, the inlet pressure detection device 311 and the liquid temperature sensor five 312 respectively detect the flow, pressure and temperature of the medium flowing out from the medium storage tank 31, flowing into the cooling pipeline of the air cooler 1 to be tested through the liquid removal pipeline 51.

[0036] The liquid return pipeline 52 is provided with an outlet flow regulating valve 315, a liquid temperature sensor six 316 and an outlet pressure detection device 317 in sequence along the medium conveying direction. The outlet flow regulating valve 315, the liquid temperature sensor six 316 and the outlet pressure detection device 317 respectively detect the flow, temperature and pressure of the medium flowing out from the cooling pipeline of the air cooler 1 to be tested, flowing into the medium storage tank 31 through the liquid return pipeline 52.

[0037] Cooling pipeline is arranged in the middle of the air cooler 1 to be tested, and an air outlet 213 is arranged above the cooling pipeline in the air cooler 1 to be tested. A fan 212 is arranged near the cooling pipeline. The fan 212 rotates to force air to flow through the cooling pipeline of the air cooler 1 to be tested at a certain speed. In this way, the air can fully contact the hot medium in the tube bundle, improve the heat exchange efficiency, strengthen the heat dissipation process, and effectively reduce the temperature of the hot medium.

[0038] A spraying mechanism is arranged below the cooling pipeline in the air cooler 1 to be tested. The spraying mechanism includes a spraying pipeline 48 arranged below the cooling pipeline. The spraying pipeline 48 is provided with a gap for air flow on the side thereof. The spraying pipeline 48 is connected with a water tank 41, and a plurality of atomizing nozzles 49 are arranged on the spraying pipeline 48 and face the cooling pipeline.

[0039] The spraying pipeline 48 is communicated with the water tank 41 through a water delivery pipe 42. The water delivery pipe 42 is sequentially provided with a pipeline filter 43, a variable frequency high-pressure water pump 44, a pressure gauge 45, a flow meter 46 and a safety valve 47 along the water flow direction. The water tank 41 is provided with a water supplement pipe 411, and a liquid level meter 410 is arranged in the water tank 41.

[0040] An air inlet temperature sensor 21, an air inlet differential pressure gauge 22 and an air humidity sensor 23 are arranged in the air cooler 1 to be tested and near the spraying mechanism (air inlet side). An air humidity sensor 24 is arranged on the cooling pipeline body. An air outlet temperature sensor 211, an air outlet differential pressure gauge 29, an air humidity sensor 25 and an air speed instrument 210 are arranged in the air cooler 1 to be tested and near the air outlet 213 (air outlet side).

[0041] A thermocouple 26 is arranged at the inlet side of each tube pass of the cooling pipeline. A thermocouple 27 is arranged on the outer tube surface of each tube pass of the cooling pipeline. A thermocouple 28 is arranged at the outlet side of each tube pass of the cooling pipeline.

[0042] During the test, the spraying humidification-air-tube medium heat exchange performance test is carried out by using the heat exchange capacity of the air cooler 1 to be tested.

[0043] Working process: when the air cooler 1 to be tested is started, the medium to be tested is selected, and the medium is added into the medium storage tank 31 through the liquid supplement pipe 32 on the medium storage tank 31. The medium in the medium storage tank 31 is heated to the test setting temperature by the stirring mechanism 34 and the heating mechanism. The stirring mechanism 34 can mix the medium in the medium storage tank 31 uniformly, so that the medium temperature is balanced, and the four liquid temperature sensors in the medium storage tank 31 monitor the medium temperature in real time.

[0044] The delivery pump 39 is started, and the heated high-temperature medium enters the cooling pipeline in the air cooler 1 through the liquid delivery pipeline 51. The liquid delivery flow regulating valve 310, the liquid delivery pressure detection device 311 and the liquid temperature sensor 312 detect the flow, pressure and temperature of the medium in the liquid delivery pipeline 51.

[0045] The high-temperature medium is cooled in the cooling pipeline and becomes low-temperature medium, which returns to the medium storage tank 31 through the liquid return pipeline 52. The liquid delivery flow regulating valve 315, the liquid temperature sensor 316 and the liquid delivery pressure detection device 317 detect the flow, temperature and pressure of the medium in the liquid return pipeline 52.

[0046] Test process: After the pipeline is filled, the fan 212 in the air cooler 1 is started, and the fan 212 sucks air from below the air cooler 1, so that the air flows from bottom to top through the cooling pipeline and is discharged from the air outlet 213, and the internal air flow is formed from bottom to top.

[0047] The variable-frequency high-pressure water pump 44 is started, and the water in the water tank 41 enters the spray pipeline 48 through the water delivery pipeline 42, and is finely atomized into small-diameter atomized droplets through the atomizing nozzle 49, and is mixed with the air in the same direction, increases the relative humidity of the air, and reduces the dry-bulb humidity to the wet-bulb humidity, so as to increase the temperature difference.

[0048] The pressure gauge 45 and the flowmeter 46 on the water delivery pipeline 42 detect the pressure and flow of the liquid in the water delivery pipeline 42. The safety valve 47 on the water delivery pipeline 42 protects the pipeline safety, maintains the stable pressure and prevents the water hammer phenomenon.

[0049] The high-temperature medium flows in the cooling pipeline of the air cooler 1, and the fan 212 promotes the air flow with atomized droplets. The atomized droplets are fully mixed with the air, and the temperature of the droplets is lower than that of the hot fluid in the pipeline, and the droplets have a large specific surface area. During the air flow, the droplets absorb heat from the air and evaporate, so that the temperature of the air is reduced and the humidity is increased, forming low-temperature and high-humidity air. At the same time, the high-temperature medium in the cooling pipeline transmits heat to the low-temperature air outside the pipeline through the pipeline wall, realizes the heat exchange between the pipelines, and cools the hot fluid in the pipeline.

[0050] After the working condition reaches the test requirement and is stable for 5 minutes, data acquisition is carried out:

[0051] The air inlet temperature sensor 21 is used to detect the air inlet temperature on the lower side of the cooling pipeline, and the air outlet temperature sensor 211 is used to detect the temperature of the air flow just passing through the cooling pipeline, that is, the air outlet temperature on the lower side of the air cooler 1, so that the temperature difference of the air flow before and after passing through the cooling pipeline of the air cooler 1 can be obtained.

[0052] The air inlet differential pressure gauge 22 is used to detect the air side inlet air pressure below the cooling pipeline, and the air outlet differential pressure gauge 29 is used to detect the air pressure of the air flow just passing through the cooling pipeline. The air inlet differential pressure gauge 22 and the air outlet differential pressure gauge 29 constitute a differential pressure test loop for testing the air inlet and outlet pressure difference of the air cooler 1 to be tested, so as to obtain the pressure drop of the air flow at the inlet, and further obtain the flow resistance performance of the air side.

[0053] The air humidity sensor one 23 is used to detect the air side inlet humidity below the cooling pipeline, the air humidity sensor two 24 is used to detect the air humidity flowing through the cooling pipeline, and the air humidity sensor three 25 is used to detect the humidity of the air flow just passing through the cooling pipeline.

[0054] The air speed of the outlet air can be obtained by the anemometer 210; the collected data is synchronized to the computer system to calculate the air side heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop.

[0055] The thermocouple one 26 arranged at the inlet side of each tube of the cooling pipeline of the air cooler 1 to be tested, the thermocouple two 27 arranged at the outer tube surface of the tube, and the thermocouple three 28 arranged at the outlet side are used to test the medium temperature and temperature difference at the inlet, outlet and heat exchange process of the pipeline.

[0056] The liquid inlet pressure detection device 311 and the liquid outlet pressure detection device 317 are used to obtain the pressure difference of the liquid before and after passing through the air cooler 1 to be tested, so as to provide basic data for testing the flow resistance performance of the air cooler 1 to be tested.

[0057] The liquid inlet flow regulating valve 310 and the liquid outlet flow regulating valve 315 are used to obtain the flow difference of the test medium before and after passing through the air cooler 1 to be tested, and the collected data is synchronized to the computer system to calculate the fluid medium side heat load and the tube heat transfer coefficient of the air cooler 1 to be tested.

[0058] The air inlet temperature sensor one 21, the air inlet differential pressure gauge 22, the air humidity sensor one 23, the air humidity sensor two 24, the air humidity sensor three 25, the air outlet differential pressure gauge 29 and the air outlet temperature sensor two 211 are all detected by sensors, and the collected data is accurate and reliable, and the detection sensitivity is high.

[0059] In addition, the liquid temperature sensor one 35, the liquid temperature sensor two 36, the liquid temperature sensor three 37, the liquid temperature sensor four 38, the liquid temperature sensor five 312 and the liquid temperature sensor six 316 are all liquid temperature sensors; the liquid inlet pressure detection device 311, the liquid outlet pressure detection device 317 and the pressure gauge 45 are all liquid pressure detection devices, which adopt pressure transmitters; and all the flowmeters 46 are turbine flowmeters 46.

[0060] The air inlet temperature sensor 21, the air inlet differential pressure gauge 22, the air humidity sensor 23, the air humidity sensor 24, the air humidity sensor 25, the thermocouple 26, the thermocouple 27, the thermocouple 28, the air outlet differential pressure gauge 29, the air speed meter 210, the air outlet temperature sensor 211, the liquid temperature sensor 35, the liquid temperature sensor 36, the liquid temperature sensor 37, the liquid temperature sensor 38, the liquid flow regulating valve, the liquid inlet pressure detection device 311, the liquid temperature sensor 312, the liquid flow regulating valve, the liquid temperature sensor 316, the liquid outlet pressure detection device 317, the pressure gauge 45, the flow meter 46, and the liquid level meter 410 are two or more, and are connected to the computer through the data acquisition system. The measurement data is uploaded to the computer to realize high-precision measurement and collection of humidity, temperature, pressure, flow and other parameters. The total heat transfer coefficient of the air cooler 1 to be tested is calculated based on the detected data, and the heat transfer performance test of the air cooler 1 to be tested is completed.

[0061] In the field of industrial automation control, the principle and application of sensor hardware for collecting physical quantities such as temperature and pressure, and actuator hardware for controlling equipment based on feedback signals are widely known. The control hardware involved in this patent is consistent with the common sensor-actuator control architecture in this field in terms of function implementation.

[0062] The control hardware system of the device is composed of a series of electronic devices for data acquisition, signal processing and execution control actions. These devices work together to monitor and control the running state of the air cooler to complete the performance test task. The specific hardware selection and circuit design can be determined by those skilled in the art on the basis of conventional design means according to the actual application scene and performance requirements, and does not affect the performance test method and system architecture of the core of the present application.

[0063] In this embodiment, the calculation methods of the air side heat load, the fluid medium side heat load, the heat transfer coefficient and the total heat transfer coefficient of the air cooler 1 to be tested are disclosed in GB / T 27698.1-2023 “Heat Exchanger and Heat Transfer Element Performance Test Method Part 1: General Requirements” and GB / T 27698.2-2023 “Heat Exchanger and Heat Transfer Element Performance Test Method Part 2: Heat Exchanger”, which belong to the prior art. Therefore, the calculation principle will not be described again.

[0064] Example 2

[0067] The turbulence plate 6 can be provided with corrugated grooves or protrusions.

[0068] The principle of air turbulence is to change the flow path and velocity distribution of air to produce turbulent flow state. By reasonably designing the turbulence mechanism, the air flow can also be disturbed and adjusted to simulate the real complex working conditions.

[0069] In actual operation, the air flow in the air cooler will be affected by various environmental factors, such as the interference of external wind direction, surrounding buildings or other obstacles to the air flow, etc. These may cause turbulence of the air flow in the air cooler.
