Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and in particular to a composite material cooling tower. Background Technology
[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and release it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. Its cooling effect is achieved by using water to exchange heat with air to generate steam. The steam evaporates and carries away heat, thus dissipating waste heat generated in industrial processes or refrigeration and air conditioning systems to lower the water temperature and ensure the normal operation of the system. The device is generally barrel-shaped, hence the name composite material cooling tower.
[0003] Currently, the impellers at the top of existing cooling towers are driven by belts or gears, which are inefficient and noisy. In addition, there are many obstructions at the top air outlet of the cooling tower, resulting in low airflow discharge efficiency when the impeller rotates and drives the internal airflow. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a composite material cooling tower to address the problems of high exhaust noise and low exhaust efficiency of traditional cooling towers.
[0005] This application provides a composite material cooling tower, comprising:
[0006] Support frame;
[0007] The water-spraying filler is fixedly installed on the support frame;
[0008] The outer shell has a first channel running through it, and the outer shell covers the top of the support frame;
[0009] A hot water spray assembly is fixedly mounted on the support frame, and the hot water spray assembly is also mounted on top of the water spraying filler.
[0010] A fan assembly is disposed on the top of the support frame and is also disposed inside the first channel. In use, the fan assembly drives the gas on the top of the water-spraying filler to flow to the top of the outer shell.
[0011] An adjustment component is disposed at the bottom of the fan assembly, and the fan assembly is fixedly connected to the support frame through the adjustment component; the adjustment component is used to adjust the cross-sectional ventilation area of the first channel;
[0012] Multiple water collectors are provided, and the water collectors are fixedly installed on the support frame and located on the top of the hot water spray assembly.
[0013] This application relates to a composite material cooling tower. First, a hot water spray assembly is activated, spraying a large amount of hot water onto the water-spraying packing material for cooling. Then, a fan assembly is activated to drive the gas at the top of the water-spraying packing material towards the top of the outer shell, while simultaneously driving the airflow at the bottom of the outer shell from the bottom to the top. This causes the gas at the top of the water-spraying packing material to be cooled and condensed into water droplets, which then flow back. Next, an adjustment assembly is activated to change the cross-sectional area of the first channel's flow path, thereby adjusting the air output of the first channel to prevent excessive gas accumulation at the top of the water-spraying packing material or excessively high temperature. Multiple water collectors on the support frame are used to collect moisture from the gas at the top of the water-spraying packing material. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the composite material cooling tower includes: a support frame 11, a water-spraying packing 12, a shell 13, a hot water spray assembly 14, a fan assembly 15, an regulating assembly 16, and a plurality of water collectors 17.
[0031] The water-spraying filler 12 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 11.
[0032] The outer shell 13 has a first channel 131 running through its interior, and the outer shell 13 covers the top of the support frame 11.
[0033] The hot water spray assembly 14 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 11, and the hot water spray assembly 14 is also mounted on top of the water spraying filler 12.
[0034] The fan assembly 15 is disposed on the top of the support frame 11. The fan assembly 15 is also disposed inside the first channel 131. In use, the fan assembly 15 drives the gas on the top of the water spraying filler 12 to flow to the top of the outer shell 13.
[0035] The adjustment component 16 is disposed at the bottom of the fan assembly 15, and the fan assembly 15 is fixedly connected to the support frame 11 through the adjustment component 16; the adjustment component 16 is used to adjust the cross-sectional ventilation area of the first channel 131.
[0036] Multiple water collectors 17 are provided, and the water collectors 17 are fixedly installed on the support frame 11. The water collectors 17 are located on the top of the hot water spray assembly 14.
[0037] Specifically, the hot water spray assembly 14 includes multiple spray heads and connecting pipes. Each spray head is connected to the connecting pipe. The spray head is fixedly connected to the support frame 11 and is located on top of the water spraying filler 12. In this application, this part is a non-critical protection point, so it is only briefly described and not elaborated on. The support frame 11 is made of fiber-reinforced composite material, which has strong corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and load-bearing capacity. A temperature sensor is fixed on the inner wall of the first channel 131. The temperature sensor is located at the bottom of the adjustment assembly 16 and at the top of the water spraying filler 12.
[0038] In this embodiment, the hot water spray assembly 14 is first activated so that a large amount of hot water is sprayed onto the water-spraying packing 12 for cooling. Then, the fan assembly 15 is activated to drive the gas at the top of the water-spraying packing 12 to flow towards the top of the outer casing 13. At the same time, it also drives the airflow at the bottom of the outer casing 13 to flow from the bottom to the top of the outer casing 13, so that the gas at the top of the water-spraying packing 12 is cooled and condensed into water droplets and flows back. Then, the regulating assembly 16 is activated to change the cross-sectional area of the flow channel of the first channel 131, thereby adjusting the change in the gas output of the first channel 131 to prevent excessive gas accumulation at the top of the water-spraying packing 12 or excessively high temperature. Multiple water collectors 17 on the support frame 11 are used to collect the moisture in the gas at the top of the water-spraying packing 12.
[0039] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the adjustment component 16 includes: a support plate 161, a cover plate 162, and a first motor 163.
