Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically to an improved cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, in existing cooling towers, the inlet pipe 5' and outlet pipe 6' are located in the same position, with the inlet end of the inlet pipe 5' and the outlet end of the outlet pipe 6' being very close. Additionally, the water tank 2 occupies a relatively small area, slightly larger than the cooling tower body 1. This existing cooling tower structure typically suffers from the following problems: water output from the outlet pipe 6' contains impurities that are not settled before being pumped back into the inlet pipe 5'. After cooling in the tower, these impurities remain in the packing material, causing it to easily become clogged, thus reducing its lifespan and increasing the operating costs of the cooling tower. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved cooling tower to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An improved cooling tower includes a cooling tower body and a water pool disposed at the bottom of the cooling tower body. The cooling tower body has an inlet on one side and an outlet on the other side. The inlet is connected to an inlet pipe, and the outlet is connected to an outlet pipe. The inlet end of the inlet pipe and the outlet end of the outlet pipe are respectively located on the two sides of the cooling tower body and are close to the left and right sides of the water pool. The area of ​​the water pool is at least twice the area of ​​the cooling tower body.

[0006] Furthermore, the water inlet pipeline includes a first water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet, a water inlet pump connected to the first water inlet pipe, and a second water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet pump. A filter device is provided at the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the water inlet pump is supported on the inner wall of the water tank by a cement support and extends out of the water tank. The outlet end of the second water inlet pipe is connected to the inlet end of the water inlet pump, and the inlet end of the second water inlet pipe extends into the interior of the water tank.

[0008] Furthermore, an inlet valve is installed on the first inlet pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the water outlet pipeline includes a water outlet pipe connected to the water outlet, and a drain valve is provided on the water outlet pipe.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By placing the inlet and outlet water pipes on opposite sides of the cooling tower body and simultaneously increasing the floor area of ​​the water tank, the inlet and outlet water pipes are spaced far apart. This effectively allows the water flowing from the outlet pipe to undergo a certain amount of sedimentation before flowing into the inlet pipe. This not only reduces the impurities in the water flowing into the inlet pipe to a certain extent, thereby reducing the risk of clogging the cooling tower packing and extending its service life, but also lowers the outlet water temperature and enhances the cooling effect. Furthermore, by installing a corresponding filter device at the inlet end of the inlet pipe, the amount of impurities entering the inlet pipe can be further reduced, further extending the service life of the cooling tower packing and thus significantly reducing the operating cost of the cooling tower.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] See Figure 2 This utility model provides an improved cooling tower, comprising a cooling tower body 1 and a water tank 2 disposed at the bottom of the cooling tower body 1. A water inlet 3 is provided on one side of the cooling tower body 1 and a water outlet 4 is provided on the other side. The water inlet 3 is connected to a water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet 4 is connected to a water outlet pipe 6. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 6 are respectively located on both sides of the cooling tower body 1 and are close to the left and right sides of the water tank 2. The area occupied by the water tank 2 is at least twice the area occupied by the cooling tower body 1.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 5 includes a first water inlet pipe 501 connected to the water inlet 3, a water inlet pump 502 connected to the first water inlet pipe 501, and a second water inlet pipe 503 connected to the water inlet pump 502. A filter device 7 is provided at the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 503 for filtering particulate impurities contained in the water tank 2. More specifically, in this embodiment, the filter device 7 is preferably a spherical structure made of 80-100 mesh stainless steel mesh.

[0022] Understandably, in addition to simple filter devices made of stainless steel mesh, filter device 7 can also use other professional or complex filter devices, such as activated carbon filters, ultrafiltration filters, PP filter cartridges, etc. The specific structure used depends on actual needs.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water inlet pump 502 is supported on the inner wall of the water tank 2 by the cement support 8 and extends out of the water tank 2. The outlet end of the second water inlet pipe 503 is connected to the inlet end of the water inlet pump 502. The inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 503 extends into the interior of the water tank 2 and is used to transport the water in the water tank 2 sequentially through the second water inlet pipe 503, the water inlet pump 502 and the first water inlet pipe 501 to the interior of the cooling tower body 1 under the suction of the water inlet pump 502.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, an inlet valve 504 is provided on the first inlet pipe 501 to control the opening and closing of the inlet pipe 5.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 6 includes a water outlet pipe 601 connected to the water outlet 4, and a drain valve 602 is provided on the water outlet pipe 601 to control the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe 6.

[0026] Compared to existing cooling towers, the improved cooling tower provided by this utility model has the following advantages: By placing the inlet and outlet water pipes on opposite sides of the cooling tower body and simultaneously increasing the floor area of ​​the water tank, the inlet and outlet water pipes are spaced far apart. This effectively allows the water flowing from the outlet pipe to undergo a certain period of sedimentation before flowing to the inlet pipe. This not only reduces the impurities in the water flowing into the inlet pipe to a certain extent, thereby reducing the risk of clogging the cooling tower packing and extending its service life, but also lowers the outlet water temperature and enhances the cooling effect. Furthermore, by installing a corresponding filter device at the inlet end of the inlet pipe, the amount of impurities entering the inlet pipe can be further reduced, further extending the service life of the cooling tower packing and thus significantly reducing the operating cost of the cooling tower.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
