Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling water cooling technology, specifically a circulating cooling water cooling system. Background Technology
[0002] Metal preparation processes require the use of furnaces. Before purifying the next batch of materials, the furnace temperature must be allowed to drop to room temperature. Since the furnace temperature is relatively high, the circulating cooling water temperature gradually rises during the cooling process. To maintain good cooling effect and efficiency, the heating circulating cooling water needs to be cooled down promptly. Traditionally, this is often achieved by increasing the power of refrigeration equipment to quickly cool the circulating water, but this undoubtedly consumes a large amount of electricity, leading to a significant increase in production costs. Therefore, it is crucial to propose a circulating cooling water cooling system that can reduce energy consumption and save costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above problems, thereby providing a circulating cooling water cooling system that reduces power consumption and production costs.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the aforementioned problem is:
[0005] A circulating cooling water cooling system includes a water storage tank, with an injection pipe and an outlet pipe connected to the water storage tank. A drain pump is connected to the outlet pipe, and the drain pump pumps water from the water storage tank into the cooling section of the equipment to be cooled. The cooling water flows back to the water storage tank through a return pipe. A refrigeration titanium pipe connected to an external refrigeration unit is installed inside the water storage tank. The outlet of the return pipe is located above the water storage tank and is connected to a spray unit.
[0006] Furthermore, the spray section includes a spray pipe that is connected end to end and is rectangular in shape. Multiple branch pipes are connected to the spray pipe, and several downward spray holes are spaced apart on the spray pipe and the branch pipes. This allows the cooling water to be sprayed more evenly and over a wider range, further improving the effect of natural heat dissipation and making the initial cooling more sufficient.
[0007] Furthermore, a support frame is installed on the top of the water storage tank and below the spray section. A water collection tank is installed on the support frame, and an outlet is located on the side of the water collection tank away from the outlet pipe. An inclined chute is installed inside the water storage tank and below the outlet, with the lower end of the chute located away from the outlet pipe. This allows the cooling water, which has undergone initial cooling by the spray, to briefly accumulate in the water collection tank, flow through the outlet onto the chute, and then flow along the chute into the side of the water storage tank away from the outlet pipe. This prevents the water that has just returned from mixing directly with the water near the outlet pipe, ensuring that the water drawn from the outlet pipe is more thoroughly cooled. This helps to ensure that the temperature of the cooling water entering the equipment to be cooled is at an optimal level, thus improving the cooling effect.
[0008] Furthermore, the water storage tank is equipped with a water level sensor and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the water storage tank near the outlet pipe. This allows for real-time monitoring of the water level in the water storage tank and the water temperature near the outlet pipe, facilitating timely understanding of the cooling water status within the system. This provides a reference for adjusting the water volume and the operating status of the chiller, helping to maintain stable and efficient system operation.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the outstanding features of this utility model, which adopts the above technical solution, are:
[0010] This invention allows the returning cooling water to enter the storage tank via a spray method, increasing the contact area between the cooling water and the air. This utilizes natural air dissipation to provide initial cooling for the heated circulating water. This reduces the cooling load on the refrigeration titanium pipes to some extent, eliminating the need for the refrigeration unit to maintain excessively high power to effectively cool the circulating water. This reduces energy consumption and lowers production costs. Compared to traditional methods that rely solely on increasing the power of refrigeration equipment for cooling, this approach is more energy-efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, the purpose of which is only to better understand the content of the present invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] See Figures 1-2 A circulating cooling water cooling system includes a water storage tank 1, with an injection pipe and an outlet pipe connected to the water storage tank 1. A drain pump 3 is connected to the outlet pipe. The drain pump 3 pumps water from the water storage tank 1 into the cooling section of the equipment 4 to be cooled. The cooling water flows back to the water storage tank 1 through a return pipe 5. A cooling titanium pipe 21 connected to an external chiller 2 is installed inside the water storage tank 1. The outlet of the return pipe 5 is located above the water storage tank 1 and is connected to a spray section 6.
[0016] The spray section 6 includes a spray pipe 61 that is rectangular in shape and connected end to end. Multiple branch pipes 62 are connected to the spray pipe 61. Several downward spray holes 63 are spaced apart on both the spray pipe 61 and the branch pipes 62. This allows the cooling water to be sprayed more evenly and over a wider range, further improving the effect of natural heat dissipation and making the initial cooling more sufficient.
[0017] A support frame is installed on the top of the water storage tank 1 and below the spray section 6. A water collection tank 7 is installed on the support frame. An outlet is provided on the side of the water collection tank 7 away from the outlet pipe. An inclined slide 8 is installed inside the water storage tank 1 and below the outlet. The lower end of the slide 8 is located on the side away from the outlet pipe. This allows the cooling water, which has been initially cooled by the spray, to briefly accumulate in the water collection tank 7, flow through the outlet onto the slide 8, and then flow along the slide 8 into the side of the water storage tank 1 away from the outlet pipe. This prevents the water that has just returned from mixing directly with the water near the outlet pipe, ensuring that the water drawn from the outlet pipe is more thoroughly cooled. This helps to ensure that the temperature of the cooling water entering the cooling equipment 4 is at an optimal level, thus improving the cooling effect.
[0018] The water storage tank 1 is equipped with a water level sensor and a temperature sensor 9. The temperature sensor 9 is installed on the inner wall of the water storage tank 1 near the outlet pipe. It monitors the water level in the water storage tank 1 and the water temperature near the outlet pipe in real time, so as to understand the status of the cooling water in the system in a timely manner, provide a reference for adjusting the water volume and the operating status of the chiller 2, and help maintain the stable and efficient operation of the system.
[0019] This invention allows the returning cooling water to enter the storage tank via a spray method, increasing the contact area between the cooling water and the air. This utilizes natural air dissipation to provide initial cooling for the heated circulating water. This reduces the cooling load on the refrigeration titanium pipes to some extent, eliminating the need for the refrigeration unit to maintain excessively high power to effectively cool the circulating water. This reduces energy consumption and lowers production costs. Compared to traditional methods that rely solely on increasing the power of refrigeration equipment for cooling, this approach is more energy-efficient.
