Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of evaporative condenser units, specifically to a modular evaporative condenser unit. Background Technology
[0002] An evaporative condenser unit is a device used to cool and condense steam. It typically consists of two parts: an evaporator and a condenser. It achieves steam condensation by absorbing and releasing heat. This type of unit is commonly used in thermal power plants, chemical plants, refrigeration systems, and other fields to reduce system energy consumption and improve efficiency.
[0003] Patent No. CN222773812U describes an evaporative condenser unit, including a condenser outer casing: a portable disassembly and assembly mechanism is provided on the side of the condenser outer casing, a dust protection mechanism is provided on the side of the portable disassembly and assembly mechanism, and a filter cleaning mechanism is provided on the side of the dust protection mechanism.
[0004] While the aforementioned patent, through its design of replaceable activated carbon filler, utilizes the microporous structure of activated carbon to adsorb impurities, organic compounds, odors, and colors in the water, thus improving water quality and directly filtering and cleaning the water upon inlet, avoiding the scaling and reduced heat exchange efficiency caused by using unclean external water sources, and featuring a detachable design for the protective filter and air guide plate for easy cleaning, presents several challenges in actual operation. Replacing the activated carbon filler requires shutting down the condenser unit, affecting its heat exchange efficiency. Cleaning the filter also necessitates disassembling and reassembling bolts, making the process inconvenient. Therefore, a modular evaporative condenser unit is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a modular evaporative condenser unit in light of the current state of the technology.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a modular evaporative condenser unit, including an evaporative condenser. A U-shaped water inlet pipe is installed on one side wall of the evaporative condenser. Two sets of activated carbon filter elements are symmetrically installed on the water inlet pipe.

Two sets of T-shaped guide blocks are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the filter screen. Two sets of operating chambers are symmetrically opened on one side wall of the grid plate. A telescopic rod is installed in the operating chamber. The telescopic rod has a built-in spring. A lever is fixed on the movable part of the telescopic rod. A limit rod is fixed on one side wall of the lever. A limit hole is opened on the side wall of the evaporative condenser at a position corresponding to the limit rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe is fixed to the water inlet port of the evaporative condenser via a flange, the evaporative condenser has a built-in serpentine heat exchange tube, and the activated carbon filter element is threaded onto the water inlet pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the solenoid valve is threaded onto the water inlet pipe, and the two sets of solenoid valves located on one side of the activated carbon filter element form a single channel.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom end of the grille is rotatably connected to the evaporative condenser, and the bottom wall of the grille is rounded.

[0013] Furthermore, the operating cavity is formed on the grid plate, the fixed part of the telescopic rod is connected to the operating cavity by screws, and the spring is welded between the fixed part and the movable part of the telescopic rod.
[0014] Furthermore, the lever is fixed to the movable part of the telescopic rod by screws, the lever is slidably connected to the guide groove, the limiting rod is connected to the lever by screws, and the limiting rod passes through the side wall of the grid plate and is inserted into the limiting hole.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This utility model designs the water inlet pipe into a U-shaped structure and adopts a dual-channel mechanism consisting of dual activated carbon filter elements and four sets of solenoid valves. During use, only one set of activated carbon filter elements needs to be put into use to filter the cooling water. When it needs to be replaced, the solenoid valves of the corresponding channels are controlled to operate. One set of solenoid valves closes the channel of the activated carbon filter element that needs to be replaced, while the other set opens the channel of the unused activated carbon filter element. This can effectively prevent the condenser unit from shutting down and enable it to work continuously and efficiently, resulting in good performance.
[0018] 2. This utility model designs the grille plate with a rotating structure. When the filter needs to be replaced or cleaned, only external force needs to be applied to the lever to cause it to separate from the limiting rod and the limiting hole, thereby releasing the fixing of the grille plate. Then, the grille plate is rotated to separate one end from the condenser unit. The filter is then disassembled under the action of the guide groove and the guide block. This method is not only highly portable, but also simple to operate and has high performance. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, a modular evaporative condenser unit in this embodiment includes an evaporative condenser 1. A U-shaped water inlet pipe 3 is installed on one side wall of the evaporative condenser 1. Two sets of activated carbon filter elements 5 are symmetrically installed on the water inlet pipe 3 to purify and filter the water, preventing scale buildup on the internal heat exchanger tubes. Four sets of solenoid valves 4 are installed on the water inlet pipe 3 to control the opening and closing of the two channels. A grille plate 2 is also installed on one side wall of the evaporative condenser 1 to allow outside air to enter the evaporative condenser 1. Symmetrical openings are made on both sides of the inner wall of the grille plate 2. The T-shaped guide groove 10 has a filter screen 12 installed on one side of the grid plate 2 to filter impurities in the gas. Two sets of T-shaped guide blocks 11 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the filter screen 12. Two sets of operating chambers 6 are symmetrically opened on one side wall of the grid plate 2. A telescopic rod 7 is installed in the operating chamber 6. The telescopic rod 7 has a built-in spring 13. A lever 8 is fixed on the movable part of the telescopic rod 7. A limit rod 9 is fixed on one side wall of the lever 8. A limit hole is opened on the side wall of the evaporative condenser 1 at a position corresponding to the limit rod 9 to facilitate the fixing and release of the grid plate 2.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 3 is fixed to the water inlet port of the evaporative condenser 1 via a flange. The evaporative condenser 1 has a built-in serpentine heat exchange tube. The activated carbon filter element 5 is threaded onto the water inlet pipe 3, and the solenoid valve 4 is threaded onto the water inlet pipe 3. The two sets of solenoid valves 4 located on one side of the activated carbon filter element 5 form a single channel. During use, only one set of activated carbon filter elements 5 needs to be put into use to filter the cooling water, preventing scale buildup in the internal heat exchange tube. When it needs to be replaced, the solenoid valve 4 of the corresponding channel is activated. One set of solenoid valves 4 closes the channel of the activated carbon filter element 5 that needs to be replaced, while the other set opens the channel of the unused activated carbon filter element 5. This effectively prevents the condenser unit from shutting down, allowing it to work continuously and efficiently, resulting in good performance.
[0028] like Figures 1-4In this embodiment, the bottom end of the grille plate 2 is rotatably connected to the evaporative condenser 1. The bottom wall of the grille plate 2 is rounded. The guide groove 10 is formed on the inner wall of the grille plate 2. The guide block 11 is slidably connected to the guide groove 10. The guide block 11 is fixed to the frame of the filter screen 12 by screws. The operating cavity 6 is formed on the grille plate 2. The fixed part of the telescopic rod 7 is connected to the operating cavity 6 by screws. The spring 13 is welded between the fixed part and the movable part of the telescopic rod 7. The lever 8 is fixed to the movable part of the telescopic rod 7 by screws. The lever 8 is slidably connected to the guide groove 10 and limits the movement. The rod 9 and the lever 8 are connected by screws. The limiting rod 9 passes through the side wall of the grille plate 2 and is inserted into the limiting hole. During use, the filter screen 12 can filter impurities in the air. When the filter screen 12 needs to be cleaned, simply apply external force to the lever 8 to make it separate the limiting rod 9 from the limiting hole, thereby releasing the fixing of the grille plate 2. Then, rotate the grille plate 2 to separate one end from the condenser unit. Then, under the action of the guide groove 10 and the guide block 11, the filter screen 12 can be disassembled. This method is not only highly portable, but also simple to operate and has high performance.
[0029] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: Place the device in place, connect the external power supply, and connect the water inlet pipe 3 to the external pipe. During use, only one set of activated carbon filter element 5 needs to be put into use to filter the cooling water, avoiding scale buildup in the internal heat exchanger tube. When it needs to be replaced, control the solenoid valve 4 of the corresponding channel to operate. One set of solenoid valves 4 closes the channel of the activated carbon filter element 5 that needs to be replaced, and the other set opens the channel of the unused activated carbon filter element 5. This can effectively prevent the condenser unit from shutting down, allowing it to work continuously and efficiently with good performance. At the same time, the filter screen 12 can filter impurities in the air. When it is necessary to clean the filter screen 12, simply apply external force to the lever 8 to make it move the limit rod 9 to separate from the limit hole, releasing the fixation of the grille plate 2. Then rotate the grille plate 2 to separate one end from the condenser unit, and then disassemble the filter screen 12 under the action of the guide groove 10 and the guide block 11. This method is not only highly portable, but also simple to operate and has high performance.
