Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooling tower technology, and in particular relates to a dual condensation and demisting device for cooling towers. Background Technology
[0002] When the hot saturated gas extracted by the cooling tower fan passes through the condensation module, the hot saturated gas exchanges heat with the low-temperature water, lowering the temperature of the hot saturated gas and causing water molecules in the hot saturated gas to condense and precipitate, achieving the purpose of steam-water separation and demisting. However, existing technologies suffer from significant low-temperature water evaporation losses and are prone to plume problems. Plume problems mainly occur in mechanically ventilated cooling towers, especially during winter operation in cold regions, where plumes form at the cooling tower outlet, impacting the surrounding ecological environment. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual condensation and demisting device for cooling towers, which effectively solves the problems of excessive water evaporation loss at low temperatures and the occurrence of plume mist.
[0004] The technical solution to the technical problem is as follows: it includes a support frame, on which a cooling tower fan is installed. An air suction hood is fixed above the cooling tower fan. The air suction hood is connected vertically to the cooling tower fan. A condensing device and an air cooling device are installed on both the left and right sides inside the air suction hood. The air cooling device is located outside the condensing device. Multiple air outlets are provided at both ends of the air suction hood.
[0005] Preferably, the condensation device includes a low-temperature water supply pump and a condensation module. The low-temperature water supply pump is mounted on a bracket and connected to the condensation module via a water pipe. The other end of the condensation module is provided with a water outlet pipe. The bracket is provided with a condensate tank associated with the low-temperature water supply pump, and the other end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the condensate tank.
[0006] Preferably, the condensation module consists of multiple U-shaped pipes connected in sequence.
[0007] Preferably, the air-cooling device includes an air-cooling exhaust fan and an air-cooling module. The air-cooling module is composed of multiple vertically oriented finned tubes, with the lower end of the finned tubes connected to the outside and the upper end of the finned tubes connected to the air-cooling exhaust fan.
[0008] This invention has the following advantages over traditional equipment: The condensing module uses low-temperature water as the cooling medium. Through multiple U-shaped pipes connected in series, it can effectively reduce the temperature of the hot saturated gas and achieve steam-water separation. Then, combined with the air-cooling module, heat exchange is carried out again to achieve deeper steam-water separation and demisting. The combination of the condensing module and the air-cooling module reduces the evaporation loss of low-temperature water, making it energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0013] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0014] Depend on Figures 1 to 3 A dual condensation and demisting device for a cooling tower is provided, including a support 1, a cooling tower fan 2 installed on the support 1, an air suction hood 3 fixed above the cooling tower fan 2, the air suction hood 3 being vertically connected to the cooling tower fan 2, a condensation device and an air cooling device being installed on both the left and right sides inside the air suction hood 3, the air cooling device being located outside the condensation device, and multiple air outlets 4 being provided at both the left and right ends of the air suction hood 3.
[0015] The condensation device includes a low-temperature water supply pump 5 and a condensation module 6. The low-temperature water supply pump 5 is mounted on a bracket 1 and is connected to the condensation module 6 via a water pipe. The other end of the condensation module 6 is provided with a water outlet pipe 7. The bracket 1 is provided with a condensate tank associated with the low-temperature water supply pump 5, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the condensate tank.
[0016] The condensation module 6 consists of multiple U-shaped pipes, which are connected in sequence.
[0017] The air-cooling device includes an air-cooling exhaust fan 8 and an air-cooling module 9. The air-cooling module 9 is composed of multiple vertically oriented finned tubes. The lower end of the finned tubes is connected to the outside, and the upper end of the finned tubes is connected to the air-cooling exhaust fan 8.
[0018] When this utility model is in use, the cooling tower fan 2, the low-temperature water supply pump 5, and the air-cooled exhaust fan 8 are started. The hot saturated gas in the cooling tower fan 2 is pressurized into the suction hood 3. The hot saturated gas in the suction hood 3 moves to the left and right sides. The hot saturated gas first enters the condensation module 6. The low-temperature water supply pump 5 continuously pressurizes the condensate in the condensate tank into the condensation module 6. The condensate that flows continuously in the U-shaped pipe and the hot saturated gas pass around the U-shaped pipe. The condensation module 6 exchanges heat with the hot saturated gas, which cools the hot saturated gas, thereby achieving the purpose of steam-water separation. The condensate after heat exchange flows back into the condensate tank.
[0019] After heat exchange, the gas flows to the air-cooled module 9. The air-cooled exhaust fan 8 draws cold air from the outside environment into the finned tubes of the air-cooled module 9. The temperature of the outside environment air is lower than the temperature of the hot saturated gas. The cold air from the outside environment moves upward in the finned tubes, thereby reducing the temperature around the finned tubes. The gas after heat exchange passes around the finned tubes and exchanges heat with the air-cooled module 9 again, allowing the steam and water to be separated at a deeper level, resulting in drier gas. The dried gas is discharged to the outside through the air outlet 4. The water absorbed by the condenser and the air-cooling device flows through the pipes to the cooling tower water pool.
