Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cooling device, and more specifically, to a coal chemical cooling device, belonging to the field of petrochemicals. Background Technology
[0002] Coal chemical industry refers to the process of using coal as raw material and chemically processing it into gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels and chemicals. In the actual process of coal chemical industry, cooling towers are used to cool the chemical substances in order to better control the reaction rate and product quality. Cooling towers are devices that use water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and release it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature.
[0003] This existing technology transports coal chemical fluid media through cooling copper pipes, and water sprayed from spray heads washes the cooling copper pipes and cooling fins. The water absorbs heat from the cooling copper pipes and cooling fins, thereby cooling the coal chemical fluid media. While this existing technology can cool the coal chemical media, it has certain limitations in practical implementation. In practice, the cooling fins are arranged horizontally in sequence, and the large area of the fins obstructs airflow, resulting in slower discharge of the hot air after heat exchange. This affects the rate of heat loss from the tower, thus leading to low heat exchange efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] Technical solution / principle of this application: A coal chemical cooling device, comprising a tower body 1 and heat exchange components. The heat exchange components are used to guide and exchange heat for the coal chemical fluid medium inside the tower body 1, allowing the fluid medium to dissipate heat, i.e., cooling the fluid medium. Multiple air inlets are provided on the lower middle side wall of the tower body 1, and each air inlet is fixedly equipped with a grille 6.

After the motor 11 starts, it drives the fan impeller 10 to rotate, and the fan impeller 10 fans the hot air inside the tower body 1 to be discharged through the exhaust port. Cold air or normal temperature airflow from outside the tower body 1 enters the interior of the tower body 1 through the air inlet.
[0024] The heat exchange components are installed on the tower body 1. The heat exchange components include a flow guide tube array, a first manifold box 2, and a second manifold box 4. The first manifold box 2 and the second manifold box 4 are both fixedly installed on the side wall of the tower body 1, and are arranged longitudinally. The flow guide tube array includes multiple heat-conducting plates 16 and multiple cylindrical spiral heat exchange tubes 15. The upper end of each heat exchange tube 15 is fixedly installed and connected to the first manifold box 2, and the lower end of each heat exchange tube 15 is fixedly installed and connected to the second manifold box 4. There is a certain distance between adjacent heat exchange tubes 15.

The heat-conducting plates 16 are arranged sequentially along the spiral direction of the heat exchange tubes 15, and are inclined, located on the same heat exchange tube 15, with a certain distance between adjacent heat-conducting plates 16.
[0025] The coal chemical fluid medium is guided and transported through the heat exchange tubes 15 in the guide tube bank. The guide tube bank is arranged in a spiral shape inside the tower body 1, and an airflow channel is formed in the middle of the guide tube bank. The airflow velocity is relatively fast, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of hot air from inside the tower body 1. At the same time, the heat-conducting plates 16 on the guide tube bank are used to enhance heat exchange. Water washes the guide tube bank from top to bottom, and the water absorbs heat, thereby cooling the coal chemical fluid medium inside the heat exchange tubes. The hot air inside the tower body spirals upward along the guide tube bank and is discharged from the tower body 1, realizing the orderly flow of hot air and accelerating the discharge of hot air, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency.

The coal chemical fluid media flows sequentially through the first pipe 3, the first manifold 2, each heat exchange pipe 15, the second manifold 4, and the second pipe 5. The temperature of the coal chemical fluid media is relatively high, and the heat of the coal chemical fluid media is conducted to each heat exchange pipe 15 and each heat conduction plate 16. The heat exchange pipes 15 and the heat conduction plates 16 are all made of metal. Water drips through each heat exchange tube 15 and each heat conduction plate 16, absorbing heat from these surfaces to cool the coal chemical fluid medium.

Multiple wide-angle nozzles are installed on the water distribution pipe 12, and the water distribution pipe 12 is connected to each of the wide-angle nozzles. The water distribution component is used to transport water from the water storage tank 14 to the top of the tower body 1 and to distribute and spray the water. The water pump 7 draws water from the water storage tank 14 and delivers the water through the water delivery pipe 8 to the water distribution pipe 12. The water in the water distribution pipe 12 is sprayed out through the wide-angle nozzles.

Simultaneously, the packing material 13 can evenly distribute the water flow within the cooling tower, enabling more uniform heat exchange. Water from various wide-angle nozzles is sprayed onto the packing material 13.
