[0004] Although the aforementioned evaporative condenser can prevent some of the gas carrying evaporation heat from flowing back by using the open grid on the square box and the corresponding set of folding blades, relying solely on the opening and closing of the folding blades themselves introduces relatively unstable factors during the opening and closing process, making it difficult to achieve a good effect in preventing hot gas backflow. Therefore, we propose an evaporative condenser for refrigeration units. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: in this application, the drive motor can drive the transmission gear and the driven gear to rotate synchronously, and the opening and closing of the wind deflector blades can be realized through gear transmission, so as to avoid the hot air backflow caused by airflow disturbance and prevent the problem that relying solely on the structure of the folding blades for opening and closing, there are relatively unstable factors in the opening and closing process, making it difficult to achieve a good hot air backflow prevention effect.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown;

[0024] An evaporative condenser for a refrigeration unit includes a condenser shell 1, a coil 2 bolted inside the condenser shell 1, a circulation pump 3 bolted on one side outside the condenser shell 1, a water supply pipe 4 bolted above the circulation pump 3, fixed ends 16 fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the condenser shell 1, a spray pipe 5 installed inside the fixed end 16, and several spray heads 6 fixed below the spray pipe 5.

[0025] A wind chamber 7 is fixed above the condenser housing 1. An axial flow fan 8 is installed inside the wind chamber 7. Wind speed sensors 10 are attached to both sides of the inner wall of the wind chamber 7. Several baffle blades 9 are arranged at the bottom inside the wind chamber 7. A transmission gear 12 is fixed to one end of one of the baffle blades 9. A drive motor 13 is installed on one side of the transmission gear 12. Both ends of the transmission gear 12 are meshed with driven gears 14.

[0026] Furthermore:

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the circulating pump 3 is interconnected with the spray pipe 5 via the water delivery pipe 4, and the spray heads 6 are distributed in an array.

[0028] In this implementation scheme: the circulating pump 3 is connected to the spray pipe 5 through the water delivery pipe 4 to ensure a stable delivery of cooling water from the water collection tank 11 to the spray pipe 5.

[0029] Furthermore:

[0030] In an optional embodiment, a water collection tank 11 is disposed at the bottom inside the condenser housing 1, and the spray head 6 corresponds to the position of the coil 2 and the water collection tank 11.

[0031] In this implementation plan: the spray water can accurately cover the surface of the coil 2, while the return water falls directly into the water collection tank 11 to avoid splashing loss. The water collection tank 11 can collect the unevaporated cooling water and recycle it, reducing water waste.

[0032] Furthermore:

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the air chamber 7 is in communication with the condenser housing 1, and the axial fan 8 is positioned corresponding to the coil 2.

[0034] In this implementation scheme: the axial flow fan 8 can force the airflow to flow vertically across the surface of the coil 2, accelerating the evaporation of the water film.

[0035] Furthermore:

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the drive motor 13 and the transmission gear 12 form a rotating structure, and the driven gear 14 is symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the transmission gear 12. The transmission gear 12 and the driven gear 14 correspond one-to-one with the wind deflector blade 9.

[0037] In this implementation scheme: the drive motor 13 can drive the transmission gear 12 and the driven gear 14 to rotate synchronously, and realize the opening and closing of the wind deflector blade 9 through gear transmission, so as to avoid the hot air backflow caused by airflow disturbance.

[0038] Furthermore:

[0039] In an alternative embodiment, the spray pipe 5 is threaded to one of the fixed ends 16.

[0040] In this implementation plan, the spray pipe 5 can be quickly disassembled by rotating it, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0041] Furthermore:

[0042] In an optional embodiment, a connecting clamp 15 is fitted at the connection between the spray pipe 5 and the other fixed end 16, and the connecting clamps 15 are fixed to each other by bolts.

[0043] In this implementation plan, the spray pipe 5 can be separated simply by disassembling the connecting clamp 15, without having to disassemble the entire spray system, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the spray pipe 5.

[0044] Working principle: First, high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is guided from the top of coil 2, flowing downwards within coil 2. Then, circulation pump 3 is started, drawing cooling water from the bottom of water collection tank 11 and delivering it through water supply pipe 4 to spray pipe 5. Spray nozzles 6 distributed below spray pipe 5 evenly spray water onto the surface of coil 2, forming a thin water film. Next, the high-temperature refrigerant in coil 2 exchanges heat with the sprayed water through the pipe wall. Then, axial flow fan 8 is started, drawing in outside air from the bottom of condenser shell 1, which flows over the surface of coil 2, accelerating water film evaporation. The latent heat of vaporization of water efficiently absorbs heat from the refrigerant, which is then released into the atmosphere through water vapor. Any remaining unevaporated water droplets are intercepted by baffles and fall back into the water collection tank. Box 11 forms a closed loop. At the same time, the hot air generated during the condensation process rises to the air chamber 7 and is discharged through the through hole on the air chamber 7. When the wind speed sensor 10 detects that the axial flow fan 8 has stopped working, the drive motor 13 is started. The drive motor 13 drives the transmission gear 12 to rotate, which drives the driven gears 14 on both sides to rotate synchronously. This drives the baffle blades 9 to rotate and close, blocking the air chamber 7 and the condenser housing 1, thereby preventing hot air from flowing back to the condensation area. The spray pipe 5 is disassembled and maintained regularly. By first disassembling the connecting clamp 15, the spray pipe 5 can be rotated off by thread. The spray pipe 5 and the spray head 6 are soaked in cleaning solution to unclog the spray head 6 and prevent the pipe from being blocked, which would affect the use.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
