Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cooling packing, specifically to cross-flow cooling tower packing with raised ribs to prevent water drift and point waves. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling towers, as key equipment in industrial production and building air conditioning systems, primarily function to reduce the temperature of circulating water through heat and mass exchange between water and air, ensuring efficient system operation. Cooling tower packing, as the core medium for water-air contact, directly affects the heat and mass transfer efficiency, operating costs, and environmental performance of the cooling tower. However, with the acceleration of industrialization and increasing environmental requirements, traditional cooling tower packing has gradually revealed some problems, such as severe water drift, high airflow resistance, short material life, and low packing rigidity. Therefore, developing a cross-flow cooling tower PVC packing with raised ribs to prevent water drift and point waves is particularly important. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the cross-flow cooling tower packing with raised ribs to prevent water drift consists of multiple identical packing plates 1 stacked on top of each other to form the packing.

[0024] The packing sheet 1 includes a dense water flow channel unit 101, an air inlet unit 102, and an air outlet unit 103. The dense water flow channel unit 101 is located between the air inlet unit 102 and the air outlet unit 103. The dense water flow channel unit 101 is used to distribute and dissipate heat from the fluid. It includes several continuous V-shaped channels. The continuous V-shaped channels are composed of multiple V-shaped channels. The height (depth) of the V-shaped channels is 10mm and the included angle is 45° (reflected on the packing sheet, the V-shaped channel is formed by two V-shaped protrusions forming a V-shaped groove, i.e., a V-shaped channel). The continuous V-shaped channels are provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is located at the top and the outlet is located at the bottom. The water flows from top to bottom, i.e., along the direction of gravity.

[0025] The dense water flow channel unit 101 is equipped with a dispersing unit 104, a positioning unit A105, a reinforcing unit 106, and a hanging hole 108;

[0026] The dispersing unit 104 is a frustum-shaped protrusion, which is evenly spaced on the dense water flow channel unit 101 along the horizontal direction (left and right) and the vertical direction (up and down); when the water flows through the dispersing unit 104, it can be dispersed to avoid water flow blockage.

[0027] Positioning units A105 are evenly spaced along the horizontal (left and right) and vertical (up and down) directions on the dense water flow channel unit 101. Positioning unit A105 is a positioning groove A, which is an inverted frustum-shaped groove. A positioning protrusion A is formed on the back of the packing sheet, which is also a frustum-shaped protrusion. The upper and lower adjacent positioning units A105 are stacked together, and with the help of glue, the positioning and fixing between the packing sheets can be achieved.

[0028] The reinforcing units 106 are evenly spaced on both sides of the dense water flow channel unit. Each reinforcing unit 106 includes three ribs, which are arranged longitudinally on the dense water flow channel unit and also serve as a guide. The three ribs are evenly spaced and parallel from the edge of the packing sheet 1 to the middle position, and the length of the ribs decreases sequentially, resembling a capital "three" structure. The two outermost ribs are strip-shaped protrusions, and the middle rib is a strip-shaped depression, which can achieve the effect of guiding water flow.

[0029] The suspension holes 108 are located on both sides of the dense water flow channel unit 101 and are used for suspending the packing. This is a common structure for suspended packing.

[0030] The air inlet unit 102 is located on the right side, and the air outlet unit 103 is located on the left side, with airflow from right to left; both the air inlet unit 102 and the air outlet unit 103 adopt a continuous trapezoidal structure, such as Figure 2As shown, the air inlet unit 102 and the air outlet unit 103 are respectively provided with positioning units B. The positioning unit B adopts a positioning protrusion B, and the positioning protrusion B forms a positioning groove B on the back of the packing sheet 1. In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion B adopts a frustum-shaped protrusion.

[0031] The air inlet unit 102 of two adjacent packing plates corresponds to the air inlet unit 102, and the air outlet unit 103 corresponds to the air outlet unit 103, forming a hexagonal air inlet, also known as a honeycomb inlet.

[0032] This invention utilizes corrosion-resistant and weather-resistant PVC material to improve the mechanical strength, heat resistance, and weather resistance of the filler. Simultaneously, the recyclability and environmental friendliness of the material are considered to promote resource recycling.

[0033] This invention makes new improvements based on existing packing sheets, meets the requirements of efficient cooling in cooling towers, solves the drawbacks of traditional packing sheets, and can effectively replace traditional packing sheets.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solution that can be implemented based on the above embodiments without creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
