Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry cooler technology, and in particular to a low-energy-consumption dry cooler. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production and equipment operation, dry coolers are an important heat dissipation device and are widely used in various scenarios that require temperature control to ensure that the equipment can operate stably in a suitable temperature environment.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the dry cooler disclosed in publication number CN213454002U, this device utilizes a tightly arranged, highly conductive metal structure above the heat source, including conductive plates, heat-collecting fins, heat dissipation plates, and heat collection pipes. This structure efficiently absorbs heat from the heat source, and, in conjunction with a spiral heat dissipation pipe connected to a liquid circulation pipeline, rapidly removes the absorbed heat. This novel structure improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooler to a certain extent, providing a solution to the heat dissipation problem of equipment.
[0004] However, in practical applications, the above-mentioned technical solutions still have some shortcomings. When cooling the cooling pipes with blowing air, the lack of an effective air filtration device makes it difficult to filter the blown air. This allows impurities in the air to easily enter the dry cooler with the airflow. These impurities may adhere to critical components of the cooler, affecting its normal operation, reducing cooling efficiency, and even potentially causing equipment failure, increasing maintenance costs and downtime, and adversely impacting production. Therefore, developing a low-energy-consumption dry cooler that can effectively filter air impurities, improve cooling efficiency, and is easy to maintain is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-energy-consumption dry cooler that uses a circulating pump to deliver coolant, which, in conjunction with the heat dissipation fins and the circulating fan, achieves efficient cooling with zero water consumption throughout the process. The dust filter on the side of the circulating fan effectively filters air impurities, preventing them from entering the cooler and affecting its operation. At the same time, the design of the sliding pin and slot allows for easy disassembly of the fixing ring, facilitating the cleaning or replacement of the dust filter, greatly improving maintenance efficiency, reducing operating and maintenance costs, and ensuring the stable operation of the cooler.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:
[0007] A low-energy-consumption dry cooler, comprising:
[0008] A cooling housing, wherein a cooling component is installed on the top of the cooling housing, a circulating fan is installed on one side of the cooling housing, a circulation port is installed on the other side of the cooling housing, and a dustproof component is installed on the side of the cooling housing corresponding to the position of the circulating fan.
[0009] In the aforementioned low-energy dry cooler, the cooling assembly includes a coolant reservoir mounted on the top of the cooling shell, a circulation pump mounted on the side of the coolant reservoir, a cooling pipe mounted on the side of the circulation pump, and the other end of the cooling pipe passing through the cooling shell and communicating with the coolant reservoir.
[0010] In the aforementioned low-energy dry cooler, the bottom of the cooling pipe is equipped with heat dissipation fins, and the bottom of the cooling shell is provided with heat dissipation openings corresponding to the positions of the heat dissipation fins.
[0011] In the aforementioned low-energy dry cooler, the dustproof component includes an air inlet channel, which is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling shell and corresponds to the position of the circulating fan. A removable dustproof filter is installed inside the air inlet channel.
[0012] In the aforementioned low-energy dry cooler, a fixing ring for abutting and positioning the dust filter is installed inside the air inlet channel at a position corresponding to the dust filter.
[0013] In the aforementioned low-energy dry cooler, the top and bottom of the fixed ring are provided with sliding pins, and the inner wall of the air inlet channel is provided with a groove that matches the sliding pin at the position of the sliding pin.
[0014] In the aforementioned low-energy dry cooler, a cooling plate for cooling the coolant inside the coolant reservoir is installed on the coolant reservoir shell, with the cooling surface of the cooling plate located inside the coolant reservoir shell and the heat dissipation surface of the cooling plate located outside the coolant reservoir shell.
[0015] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model realizes a low-energy-consumption dry cooler, which delivers coolant through a circulating pump and, together with the heat dissipation fins and circulating fan, achieves efficient cooling with no water consumption throughout the process; the dust filter on the side of the circulating fan can effectively filter air impurities and prevent them from entering the cooler and affecting its operation; at the same time, with the help of the sliding pin and slot design, the fixing ring can be easily disassembled, making it convenient to clean or replace the dust filter, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency, reduces operating and maintenance costs, and ensures stable operation of the cooler.
[0017] 2. Highly efficient cooling with zero water consumption: This invention uses a circulating pump to circulate the coolant inside the cooling housing. As the coolant flows through the cooling housing, the heat dissipation fins at the bottom of the cooling pipes fully utilize their heat dissipation function, increasing the heat dissipation area and accelerating heat dissipation. Simultaneously, a circulating fan on the side of the cooling housing blows air onto the corresponding heat dissipation fins at the bottom of the cooling pipes, and the resulting convection further enhances the cooling effect on the circulating liquid inside the pipes. The entire cooling process requires no water consumption, meeting environmental protection requirements and reducing operating costs.
[0018] 3. Effective filtration of air impurities: A dust filter is installed on the side of the circulating fan. This design can comprehensively filter the air entering the cooler. Before the air passes through the circulating fan and enters the cooling shell, it must first pass through the dust filter. Impurities, dust, and other particulate matter in the air are effectively intercepted outside the filter, thus preventing impurities from entering the cooler, ensuring the cleanliness of the internal environment of the cooler, ensuring the normal operation of the cooler, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0019] 4. Convenient Cleaning and Replacement of Dust Filter: The dustproof component design of this invention fully considers ease of maintenance. By loosening the sliding pin and disengaging it from the slot on the air inlet channel, the retaining ring can be easily removed. After removal, the retaining ring no longer obstructs the dust filter, allowing operators to easily remove it from the air inlet channel for cleaning or replacement. This convenient disassembly design significantly shortens maintenance time, improves maintenance efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs, ensuring the cooler always maintains optimal operating condition.

[0034] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a low-energy dry cooler, comprising: a cooling shell 1, a cooling assembly 2 installed on the top of the cooling shell 1, a circulating fan 301 installed on one side of the cooling shell 1, a circulation port 3011 installed on the other side of the cooling shell 1, and a dustproof assembly 3 installed on the side of the cooling shell 1 corresponding to the position of the circulating fan 301.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, this overall layout design is reasonable. It integrates the cooling component 2, the circulating fan 301, the circulation port 3011, and the dustproof component 3 on the cooling shell 1, making the cooler structure compact and the components work together. This provides a basic framework for efficient cooling and dustproof functions, facilitates installation and maintenance, and saves space.
[0037] To achieve coolant circulation for cooling, in this embodiment, the cooling assembly 2 includes a coolant reservoir 201 mounted on top of the cooling housing 1. A circulation pump 2011 is mounted on the side of the coolant reservoir 201, and a cooling pipe 2012 is mounted on the side of the circulation pump 2011. The other end of the cooling pipe 2012 passes through the cooling housing 1 and communicates with the coolant reservoir 201. Through the action of the circulation pump 2011, the coolant can circulate between the coolant reservoir 201 and the cooling pipe 2012. During circulation, the coolant absorbs heat, achieving heat transfer and providing continuous cooling capacity for the cooler, ensuring that the equipment operates at a suitable temperature.
[0038] To enhance the heat dissipation effect of the cooling pipe 2012, in this embodiment: heat dissipation fins 2013 are installed at the bottom of the cooling pipe 2012, and a heat dissipation vent 3012 is provided at the bottom of the cooling shell 1 corresponding to the position of the heat dissipation fins 2013. The heat dissipation fins 2013 increase the heat dissipation area of the cooling pipe 2012, enabling it to dissipate heat from the cooling pipe 2012 more quickly. The design of the heat dissipation vent 3012 facilitates air circulation, forming a good heat dissipation channel, further improving heat dissipation efficiency, and enabling the cooler to reduce temperature more effectively.
[0039] To prevent impurities in the air from entering the cooler, in this embodiment, the dustproof component 3 includes an air inlet channel 302, which is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling shell 1 and corresponds to the position of the circulating fan 301. A removable dustproof filter 3021 is installed inside the air inlet channel 302. The air inlet channel 302 provides a specific path for air to enter the cooler, and the dustproof filter 3021 can effectively filter dust, impurities and other particulate matter in the air, preventing them from entering the cooler and adhering to key components, affecting the normal operation of the cooler, and extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the removable design makes it convenient to clean and replace the filter.
[0040] In order to accurately abut and position the dust filter 3021, in this embodiment, a fixing ring 3022 for abutting and positioning the dust filter 3021 is installed inside the air inlet channel 302 at the position corresponding to the dust filter 3021. The fixing ring 3022 can accurately fix the dust filter 3021 in a suitable position inside the air inlet channel 302, ensuring that the dust filter 3021 will not shift or loosen during air flow, thus ensuring the stability of the dustproof effect and keeping the cooler in a good dustproof working condition at all times.
[0041] To facilitate the disassembly and installation of the retaining ring 3022, in this embodiment, sliding pins 303 are provided at both the top and bottom of the retaining ring 3022. A groove 3031, matching the sliding pin 303, is provided on the inner wall of the air inlet channel 302 at a position corresponding to the sliding pin 303. This cooperative design between the sliding pin 303 and the groove 3031 makes the disassembly and installation of the retaining ring 3022 simple and quick. The retaining ring 3022 can be installed and removed simply by sliding, without the need for complex tools, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
[0042] To further enhance the cooling effect of the coolant, in this embodiment, a cooling fin 202 for cooling the coolant inside the coolant reservoir 201 is also installed on the coolant reservoir 201. The cooling surface of the cooling fin 202 is located inside the coolant reservoir 201, and the heat dissipation surface is located outside the coolant reservoir 201. The cooling fin 202 can actively cool the coolant inside the coolant reservoir 201, further reducing the coolant temperature and thus enhancing the coolant's cooling capacity. The cooling surface absorbs heat internally, while the heat dissipation surface dissipates heat externally, forming an effective heat exchange that allows the cooler to maintain good cooling performance even in high-temperature environments.
[0043] The working principle of this invention is as follows: After the circulating pump 2011 starts, it draws out the coolant from the coolant container 201 and delivers it to the cooling pipe 2012. As the coolant flows through the interior of the cooling container 1, the heat dissipation fins 2013 at the bottom of the cooling pipe 2012 dissipate heat, while the heat dissipation vents 3012 at the bottom of the cooling container 1 promote airflow and accelerate heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the circulating fan 301 on the side of the cooling container 1 starts operating, blowing air onto the area corresponding to the heat dissipation fins 2013 at the bottom of the cooling pipe 2012. The convection generated by the airflow further enhances the cooling effect on the circulating liquid inside the pipe, and the entire process consumes no water and has low energy consumption. During air intake, the dust filter 3021 in the air intake channel 302 on the side of the circulating fan 301 filters the air, effectively preventing impurities from entering the cooler. When the dust filter 3021 needs cleaning or replacement, simply loosen the sliding pin 303 on the retaining ring 3022, allowing the sliding pin 303 to disengage from the slot 3031 on the air inlet channel 302. This facilitates easy disassembly of the retaining ring 3022 and enables convenient operation of the dust filter 3021. Furthermore, the cooling fins 202 on the coolant reservoir 201 continuously operate. Their cooling surfaces absorb heat from the coolant, while their heat dissipation surfaces dissipate heat to the outside, further enhancing the cooling effect of the coolant and ensuring efficient and stable operation of the cooler.
