Traditional evaporative cooling systems mainly employ either air cooling or evaporative cooling methods, which have the following shortcomings: 1. Air cooling condensation efficiency is significantly affected by ambient temperature. Cooling capacity decreases during hot seasons, requiring increased compressor load and leading to increased energy consumption; 2. Evaporative cooling relies on water evaporation for heat dissipation, resulting in reduced efficiency in high humidity environments and significant water consumption; 3. A single cooling method is difficult to adapt to complex and changing environmental conditions, leading to poor system stability. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.
[0026] An evaporative condenser is a device that integrates a refrigeration system and a cooling system. It utilizes the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption to achieve efficient heat dissipation and cooling, and is widely used in industrial and commercial fields. Its working principle is that the refrigerant inside the device evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator, lowering the temperature of the passing air and achieving a cooling effect. The generated heat is carried by circulating water to the evaporative condenser at the top of the device. In the condenser, water evaporates more rapidly under the action of a fan, carrying away heat and achieving refrigerant condensation. Through three circulation processes—refrigerant circulation, water circulation, and air circulation—cooling and heat dissipation are achieved.
[0027] Given the inherent limitations of existing technologies, such as low efficiency and difficulty in handling diverse environments, please refer to... Figures 1-6This embodiment provides an environmentally friendly evaporative cooling integrated unit. Through three-stage cooling, the refrigerant utilizes the optimal heat exchange method at different stages, significantly improving condensation efficiency. The evaporative cooling integrated unit includes a casing 1, with a water tank 2 installed at the bottom of the inner side of the casing 1. A heat transfer medium cooling component 3 is installed above the water tank 2, a baffle plate 5 is installed above the heat transfer medium cooling component 3, and a fan 6 is installed above the baffle plate 5. The heat transfer medium cooling component 3, the baffle plate 5, and the fan 6 are all installed inside the casing 1. A spray component 4 is installed on the outer wall of the casing 1 near the bottom. The overall structure is compact, with key components installed in an orderly manner inside the casing 1, making full use of the internal space of the casing 1, reducing the equipment footprint, making the equipment installation more flexible, and facilitating later maintenance and reducing maintenance costs. In use, the refrigerant enters through the heat transfer medium cooling component, and is cooled by the spray component 4, the water tank 2, and the fan 6.
[0028] Existing evaporative cooling units suffer from low heat exchange efficiency and an unreasonable refrigerant flow path within the equipment, resulting in insufficient heat exchange and poor cooling performance. To address this issue, the heat transfer medium cooling assembly 3 includes a medium inlet pipe 301 installed on the side wall of the casing 1. The medium inlet pipe 301 is connected to the upper heat exchange pipe 302, which is positioned above the fan 6. Below the upper heat exchange pipe 302, a middle heat exchange pipe 304 is connected via a connecting pipe 303. The middle heat exchange pipe 304 is located between the water tank 2 and the baffle plate 5. Below the middle heat exchange pipe 304, a connecting pipe 304 is connected via a second connecting pipe 304. 5 is connected to a lower heat exchange tube 306, which is located inside the water tank 2. A medium discharge pipe 307 is connected to the lower heat exchange tube 306 and is installed on the side wall of the casing 1. By improving the refrigerant flow pipeline, the refrigerant passes through the upper heat exchange tube 302, the middle heat exchange tube 304 and the lower heat exchange tube 306 in different positions in sequence. It makes full use of multiple cooling methods such as air cooling by the fan 6, evaporative cooling by the spray assembly 4 and water cooling by the water tank 2, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the refrigerant, thereby improving the overall cooling performance of the equipment and effectively reducing energy consumption.
[0029] In existing evaporative cooling units, external dust and other impurities can easily enter the equipment during operation, affecting its normal operation. Simultaneously, internal components may be damaged due to lack of protection. To address this issue, the bottom and top of the casing 1 are respectively equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet, with a dustproof net 101 and a protective net 10 installed inside each. The dustproof net 101 at the air inlet effectively blocks dust and other impurities from entering the equipment, protecting internal components and extending the equipment's lifespan. The protective net 10 at the air outlet prevents foreign objects from entering and damaging the equipment, and also avoids internal components accidentally falling out of the air outlet during operation, thus preventing safety hazards.
[0030] The limited heat exchange area on the outer wall of the heat exchange tubes in existing evaporative cooling systems results in low heat exchange efficiency and affects the cooling effect of the equipment. To address this issue, heat-conducting fins 308 are fixed on the outer walls of the upper heat exchange tube 302, the middle heat exchange tube 304, and the lower heat exchange tube 306. The heat-conducting fins 308 increase the heat dissipation area of the heat exchange tubes, improve the heat exchange efficiency, and enable more complete heat exchange between the refrigerant and the outside environment, thereby improving the cooling capacity of the equipment, reducing energy consumption, and improving the operational stability of the equipment.
[0031] During evaporative cooling, the water in water tank 2 needs to be sprayed down from above. For this purpose, please refer to... Figure 4 The spray assembly 4 includes a water pump 401 installed on the bottom side wall of the casing 1. The water pump 401 is connected to the water tank 2 through a water extraction pipe 402. The water pump 401 is also connected to a water delivery pipe 403. One end of the water delivery pipe 403 extends into the casing 1 and is connected to a spray pipe 404. Multiple nozzles 405 are arranged in an array at the bottom of the spray pipe 404. The spray pipe 404 is located between the middle heat exchanger and the baffle plate 5. The water pump 401 draws water out of the water tank 2 and sprays it evenly through the spray pipe 404, so that the water is in full contact with the middle heat exchanger tube 304. The principle of water evaporation and heat absorption is used to achieve efficient evaporative cooling, improve water utilization efficiency, and enhance the cooling effect of the equipment.
[0032] In existing evaporative cooling integrated machines, water droplets formed during evaporative cooling are easily carried out of the equipment by the air, resulting in water waste. To address this issue, the water baffle 5 includes an outer frame 501 installed inside the casing 1. The interior of the outer frame 501 is provided with multiple inclined plates 502, and the side walls of the inclined plates 502 are provided with multiple protrusions 503. The inclined plates 502 inside the outer frame 501 and the protrusions 503 on the side walls of the inclined plates 502 increase the contact area and contact time of water droplets in the air, making it easier for water droplets to be intercepted, effectively preventing water droplets from being carried out of the equipment by the air, and reducing water waste.
[0033] Furthermore, a guide plate 7 is installed inside the casing 1, and the guide plate 7 is positioned above the water tank 2; the guide plate 7 can guide the water falling from the spray to flow back into the water tank 2 at a uniform speed, thereby reducing noise.
[0034] After prolonged operation, the water in the water tank 2 of the existing evaporative cooling unit gradually decreases due to water evaporation. To address this issue, a water supply pipe 8 is installed at the bottom of the casing 1, and a ball valve 9 is installed at one end of the water supply pipe 8 inside the casing 1. By setting the ball valve 9, the function of automatic water replenishment can be realized.
