Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial cooling technology, specifically to a cooling tower system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, natural draft cooling towers in my country mainly rely on water cooling towers to lower the water temperature by exchanging heat between sprayed, high-temperature water and ambient-temperature air passing through the tower. Therefore, the evaporation rate of these cooling towers is a key challenge in improving their efficiency. Reducing the evaporation rate directly impacts their cooling effect and water consumption.
[0003] Natural draft cooling towers in thermal power plants primarily cool water carrying heat through natural ventilation within the tower. However, evaporation carries away a significant amount of water. To address this issue, there is an urgent need for a cooling tower that reduces evaporation from cooling towers. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooling tower system, including a cooling tower mechanism and a cooling mechanism, wherein the cooling mechanism is fixedly connected inside the cooling tower mechanism.
[0006] The cooling mechanism includes a flow guiding unit and a spraying unit. The flow guiding unit is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the cooling tower mechanism, and the spraying unit is located inside the cooling tower mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the cooling tower mechanism consists of a tower body, a base, a water tank, an air inlet, and an air outlet. The base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tower body, the water tank is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the tower body, the air inlet is located on the surface of the tower body, and the air outlet is located on the top of the tower body, playing a major load-bearing role.

[0009] Preferably, the spray unit comprises a flow meter, connecting pipe, valve assembly, water supply pump, cold water tank, support pipe, support frame, cold water pipe, and cold water nozzle. The flow meter is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the base, the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the flow meter, the valve assembly is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting pipe, the water supply pump is fixedly connected to the other side of the valve assembly, the cold water tank is located on the side of the water supply pump, the support pipe is fixedly connected to the inside of the tower body, the support frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tower body, the cold water pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the support pipe, and the cold water nozzle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cold water pipe, playing the main role of cooling and water replenishment.
[0010] Preferably, the base is equipped with a water level sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a level gauge, so that the intelligent system can automatically adjust the water replenishment rate and method based on the feedback from the water level sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and level gauge.
[0011] Preferably, the water supply power pump is equipped with an intelligent control system, which allows for precise control of water flow and distribution, ensuring that every drop of water can fully exert its cooling effect, thereby reducing the evaporation of the cooling tower and saving water while maintaining the working efficiency of the cooling tower.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This cooling tower system changes the original water replenishment method and location of the natural draft cooling tower, adopting a more efficient nozzle and spraying system, and an intelligent control system. These systems can precisely control the water flow and distribution, ensuring that every drop of water can fully exert its cooling effect, thereby reducing the evaporation of the cooling tower to save water while maintaining the working efficiency of the cooling tower.
[0015] 2. This cooling tower system can automatically adjust the water replenishment rate and method by monitoring parameters such as water level, temperature and humidity in the cooling tower in real time.
[0016] 3. This cooling tower system can precisely control the flow and distribution of water, ensuring that every drop of water can fully exert its cooling effect. This reduces the evaporation of the cooling tower, saving water while maintaining the working efficiency of the cooling tower. The system changes the way and location of water replenishment, replacing the method of directly replenishing water to the water tank with water replenishment from the upper part of the spray layer. The direct water replenishment through pipes is replaced with the use of more efficient nozzles and spraying systems to precisely control the flow and distribution of water. The interaction between the low-temperature replenishment water and the rising water vapor can cool some of the water vapor into water droplets, which are then recycled back to the water tank with the replenishment water spray, thereby reducing evaporation and saving water resources.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a cooling tower system, including a cooling tower mechanism 1 and a cooling mechanism 2, wherein the cooling mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the interior of the cooling tower mechanism 1.
[0024] The cooling mechanism 2 includes a flow guiding unit and a spraying unit. The flow guiding unit is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling tower mechanism 1, and the spraying unit is located inside the cooling tower mechanism 1.
[0025] The cooling tower mechanism 1 consists of a tower body 101, a base 102, a water tank 103, an air inlet 104, and an air outlet 105. The base 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tower body 101. The base 102 is equipped with a water level sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a level gauge, so that the intelligent system can automatically adjust the water replenishment rate and method based on the feedback from the water level sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and level gauge. The water tank 103 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the tower body 101. The air inlet 104 is opened on the surface of the tower body 101, and the air outlet 105 is opened on the top of the tower body 101, playing a major load-bearing role.
[0026] The flow guiding unit consists of an inlet 201, a hot water pipe 202, a hot water nozzle 203, an outlet 204, and an outlet pipe 205. The inlet 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the tower body 101. The hot water pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the water tank 103. The hot water nozzle 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the hot water pipe 202. The outlet 204 is located on the surface of the base 102, and the outlet pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outlet 204, serving as the main flow guiding unit. The spray unit consists of a flow meter 211, a connecting pipe 212, a valve assembly 213, a water supply pump 214, a cold water tank 215, a support pipe 216, a support frame 217, a cold water pipe 218, and a cold water nozzle 219. The flow meter 211 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the base 102. The connecting pipe 212 is fixedly connected to the side of the flow meter 211. The valve assembly 213 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting pipe 212. The water supply pump 214... 4. Fixedly connected to the other side of valve group 213, water supply power pump 214 is equipped with an intelligent control system, which can accurately control the flow and distribution of water, ensuring that every drop of water can give full play to its cooling effect, thereby reducing the evaporation of the cooling tower and saving water while maintaining the working efficiency of the cooling tower. Cold water pool 215 is set on the side of water supply power pump 214. Support pipe 216 is fixedly connected to the inside of tower body 101.

Moreover, the water supply power pump 214 can accurately control the water flow and distribution, maintaining the working efficiency of the cooling tower. In addition, the water level sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and liquid level gauge inside the base 102 monitor the data in real time. Based on this feedback, the intelligent system automatically adjusts the water replenishment rate and method to ensure the stable operation of the cooling tower system.
