Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and in particular to an interactive liquid cooling device for cooling towers. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial cooling towers are large, specialized pieces of equipment used to cool circulating water in industrial production processes. Their core function is to cool the high-temperature cooling water discharged from production equipment through heat exchange. Traditional cooling towers rely on fans for forced air supply or exhaust. As the fans operate continuously, their motors generate heat, and excessively high temperatures can damage the motors, thus affecting the normal operation of the fans. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an interactive liquid cooling device for cooling towers. This device dissipates heat through the cooling water of the cooling tower itself via heat exchange components and coolant, ensuring stable operation of the cooling tower's fan. The technical solution is as follows:

It includes a heat exchange component and a liquid storage tank, a first pipe assembly connecting the heat exchange component to the cooling tower, and a second pipe assembly connecting the heat exchange component to a heat-generating component.

[0005] Cooling water flows in the first pipe assembly, and coolant flows in the second pipe assembly. The storage tank is connected to the second pipe assembly and is used to replenish coolant into the second pipe assembly.

[0006] The second pipe assembly is connected to a power assembly, which is used to drive the flow of coolant.

[0007] Preferably, the heat exchange assembly includes a first heat exchange channel and a second heat exchange channel that can exchange heat with each other, the first heat exchange channel being connected to the first pipe assembly, and the second heat exchange channel being connected to the second pipe assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the heat exchange component is a plate heat exchanger. This eliminates the need for a separate cooling fan, reducing the size and cost of the device.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a housing, in which the heat exchange assembly, the liquid storage tank, and the power assembly are all disposed.

[0011] Preferably, the coolant reservoir is located at the top of the second piping assembly to allow for the replenishment of coolant into the second piping assembly at any time.

[0012] Preferably, the housing is provided with an inlet and an outlet for connecting the first pipe assembly, and an inlet and an outlet for connecting the second pipe assembly.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes a detection component for detecting the temperature and pressure of the coolant within the second pipe assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the system further includes a filter assembly connected to the first pipe assembly for filtering impurities in the cooling water.

[0015] Preferably, it further includes a blocking component, which is disposed on the first pipe assembly and is used to block the first pipe assembly.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0017] (1) This application can replace the traditional fan plus radiator cooling device and completely solve the problem of reduced heat dissipation capacity of radiator due to blockage by willow catkins and dust in the environment.

[0018] (2) This application utilizes the cooling water of the cooling tower itself to cool the coolant through the heat exchange components, which can improve the cooling effect of the coolant on the heat dissipation of the fan components, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooling tower fan operation.

[0019] (3) All components are housed inside the casing, which can effectively prevent the external environment from affecting the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange components, and at the same time help to reduce the space occupied. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 2 To further elaborate on this application:

[0030] Combination Figure 1 An interactive liquid cooling device for cooling towers is used to dissipate heat and cool the fans of cooling towers. It includes a heat exchange assembly 10 and a liquid storage tank 20, as well as a first pipe assembly 30 and a second pipe assembly 40 connecting the heat exchange assembly 10. The first pipe assembly 30 connects the cooling tower and the heat exchange assembly 10, forming a first circulation loop for flowing cooling water. The second pipe assembly 40 connects the heating element and the heat exchange assembly 10, forming a second circulation loop for flowing coolant. The heating element is, but is not limited to, the motor of the cooling tower fan.

[0031] The motor is equipped with a water jacket for cooling the stator and rotor. The second pipe assembly 40 is connected to the water jacket and forms a circulation loop with the heat exchange assembly 10. After the coolant enters the water jacket, it carries away the heat of the motor and exchanges heat with the cooling water through the heat exchange assembly 10. The water jacket can be a cooling pipe or a cooling chamber.

[0032] In addition to cooling the stator and rotor of the motor, it can also be used to cool other high-temperature components of the motor.

[0033] Cooling water flows in the first pipe assembly 30, and coolant flows in the second pipe assembly 40. The liquid storage tank 20 is connected to the second pipe assembly 40 and is used to replenish coolant in the second pipe assembly 40. The coolant can be an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol; of course, it can also be other cooling media.

[0034] The second pipe assembly 40 is connected to a power assembly 120, which drives the flow of coolant. The power assembly 120 can be a pump. The flow of cooling water can be driven by a pump on the cooling water delivery pipeline of the cooling tower itself.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 During operation, low-temperature cooling water is introduced into the heat exchange component 10 through the first pipe assembly 30, and coolant is introduced into the heat exchange component 10 through the second heat exchange component 10. Heat exchange occurs in the heat exchange component 10, transferring the heat of the coolant to the cooling water to achieve cooling of the coolant, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation and cooling effect on the heat-generating components.

[0036] The heat exchange assembly 10 includes a first heat exchange channel and a second heat exchange channel that can exchange heat with each other. The first heat exchange channel is connected to the first pipe assembly 30, and the second heat exchange channel is connected to the second pipe assembly 40. In this embodiment, the heat exchange assembly 10 can be a plate heat exchanger, eliminating the need for a separate cooling fan and reducing the overall size of the device.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the first pipe assembly 30 and the second pipe assembly 40 include a first connecting pipe (30A, 30B) and a second connecting pipe (40A, 40B), which are respectively connected to the heat exchange assembly 10. The first connecting pipe (30A, 30B) is a water / liquid inlet pipe, and the second connecting pipe (40A, 40B) is a water / liquid outlet pipe; however, the first connecting pipe (30A, 30B) can be a water / liquid outlet pipe, and the second connecting pipe (40A, 40B) can be a water / liquid inlet pipe.

[0038] To prevent external dust or impurities from affecting the heat exchange assembly 10, a housing 60 is also included, within which the heat exchange assembly 10, the liquid storage tank 20, and the power assembly 120 are all housed. This design not only prevents dust and impurities from affecting the heat exchange effect but also integrates all components within the housing 60, resulting in a relatively small space requirement.

[0039] The coolant storage tank 20 is located at the top of the second pipe assembly 40. This allows the coolant stored in the tank 20 to be replenished into the second pipe assembly 40 at any time, thus preventing a lack of coolant in the second circulation loop from affecting heat exchange efficiency. In some embodiments, an exhaust valve 70 and a replenishment pipe 80 are also provided. The exhaust valve 70 is connected to the second pipe assembly 40 and is used to discharge gas from the second circulation loop; the replenishment pipe 80 is connected to the storage tank 20 and is used to replenish coolant into the storage tank 20.

[0040] The housing 60 is provided with an inlet 310 and an outlet 320 connecting the first pipe assembly 30, and an inlet 410 and an outlet 420 connecting the second pipe assembly 40. Figure 2The inlet 310 and the outlet 320 can be connected to the cooling water supply pipeline of the cooling tower through pipes; the liquid inlet 410 and the liquid outlet 420 are connected to the heating component, that is, connected to the water jacket of the fan motor.

[0041] In this configuration, the first connecting pipe 30A of the first pipe assembly 30 connects the inlet 310 and the first heat exchange channel, and the second connecting pipe 30B of the first pipe assembly 30 connects the outlet 320 and the first heat exchange channel; the first connecting pipe 40A of the second pipe assembly 40 connects the liquid inlet 410 and the second heat exchange channel, and the second connecting pipe 40B of the second pipe assembly 40 connects the liquid outlet 420 and the second heat exchange channel.

[0042] In one embodiment, to address the issue of high cooling water pressure in the cooling tower, the first pipe assembly 30 is entirely connected with steel pipes, capable of withstanding a maximum pressure of 4.5 MPa. Of course, the cooling water pressure can be reduced by installing a pressure-reducing device.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 In one embodiment, the system further includes a control component 50, which may be a controller; the control component 50 is electrically connected to the power component 120 and the detection component 90, and can receive feedback from the detection component 90 to control the operation of the power component 120.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 In one embodiment, a detection component 90 is further included, which is used to detect the temperature and pressure of the coolant within the second pipe assembly 40. The detection component 90 includes a temperature and pressure sensor, which is disposed on the second pipe assembly 40 and is used to detect the temperature of the coolant supplied to the heat-generating component after heat exchange and the pressure within the second pipe assembly 40.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 To prevent impurities in the cooling water from affecting the heat exchange assembly 10, in one embodiment, a filter assembly 110 is also included. The filter assembly 110 is connected to the first pipe assembly 30 and is used to filter impurities in the cooling water. The filter assembly 110 can be a Y-type filter; of course, other filters can also be used. The filter assembly 110 is located on the first connecting pipe 30A to prevent impurities in the cooling water from entering the heat exchange assembly 10, thereby extending its service life and reducing maintenance frequency.

[0046] Combination Figure 1For ease of maintenance, a blocking component 100 is also included, which is disposed on the first pipe assembly 30 and used to block the first pipe assembly 30. The blocking component 100 includes a valve one and a valve two disposed on the first connecting pipe 30A and the second connecting pipe 30B of the first pipe assembly 30; the filter component 110 is disposed on the first connecting pipe 30A between the heat exchange assembly 10 and the valve one; during maintenance, the supply of coolant from the cooling tower to the heat exchange assembly 10 is cut off by closing the blocking component 100, so that the filter component 110 can be disassembled and replaced.
