Gravity backwater secondary injection cooling tower
A gravity backwater secondary jet cooling tower belongs to a forced-flow-through cooling tower without packing in the cooling tower and without an external power machine, namely a heat exchange device (F28C) which is directly contacted by a heat exchange medium and does not react chemically.
Background of the two
The cooling tower is circulating water cooling equipment widely used by a plurality of departments in national economy, the performance of the cooling tower greatly influences the benefits of the system, and especially in the water resource crisis and environmental crisis of the present day, the improvement of the cooling tower technology not only has economic benefits, but also has great social benefits.
The working principle of the existing cooling tower is that cold air and hot water are utilized to transfer heat and mass to evaporate the hot water, and air is humidified to take away heat to cool circulating water. According to this principle, a sufficient amount of wind, i.e. a sufficiently large air-water ratio, is required for circulating water cooling, and a sufficiently large mass transfer coefficient and mass transfer area between air and water is required. In order to increase the air-water ratio, the existing cooling tower adopts an external fan to forcibly ventilate or builds a high hyperbolic cooling tower to naturally draft air. In order to strengthen mass transfer, a filler is arranged in the existing cooling tower to increase the mass transfer area and the mass transfer coefficient of gas and water, or the mass transfer coefficient and the mass transfer area are increased by adopting a spray mode.
The current national standard prescribes that when the wet bulb temperature of the atmosphere is 28 ℃, the water inlet temperature of the cooling tower is 37 ℃, the water outlet temperature is 32 ℃ and the temperature is reduced by 5 ℃. Analysis and practice have shown that to achieve this requires a cooling tower air to water ratio of over 0.8, or cooling 1kg of water requires 0.8kg of air. The fans of the cooling tower are typically selected according to this requirement. However, in practice, the gas-water ratio of the actual running is far smaller than the design value due to the existence of the packing resistance, so that the temperature cannot be reduced. The filler is easy to block, deform and have large resistance, and the area without water flows, so that the air-water short circuit is caused. And the fan noise is big, and the downflowing water flow prevents the phenomenon that the cold wind flows to the filler. The mass transfer difference is less and the blockage is more, which is the contradiction that the filled tower is difficult to surmount. Newly developed spray cooling towers are emerging for this purpose.
The problems of the existing spray cooling tower are: 1) The gas-water ratio of the spray head is insufficient. 2) The working water pressure is 0.25-0.30MPA higher. 3) The water nozzle has small caliber and is easy to be filled. 4) The backflow sinking wind formed when water mist falls in the upper spray flow of the spray cooling tower of the existing fan and the spray head stops hot air from being discharged, and the cooling effect is inferior to that of a packing tower.
The invention discloses a gravity backwater secondary spray cooling tower (ZL97.107721.5) in 1997, and provides concepts, principles and functions of gravity backwater secondary spray. But has the problems that 1) a spraying device is only used as a cooling element, and the problem that the reflux sinking wind generated by the upward spray flow back cannot be overcome, the air-water ratio of the exhaust is not large, and the temperature drop is not ideal is solved. 2) The rotating mechanism of the spraying device is a ball bearing, so that the service life is short, the maintenance is difficult, the reliability is poor, and the popularization and the application are difficult.
Aiming at the defects of the patent, the novel gravity backwater secondary injection spray ventilation cooling tower (ZL 01256902) of the Chinese patent is improved. The improvement is that: 1) The original ball bearing spraying device is changed into a spraying device of a liquid suspension water bearing provided in a Chinese patent (external rotation type spraying pile-in air suction device) (patent number 00112630X). 2) The air outlet cylinder of the cooling tower is changed into a screen air cylinder so that the water film is cooled again on the screen. 3) An atomization nozzle for primary and secondary spraying is arranged in the cooling tower. 4) The tower wall is provided with a secondary air inlet. 5) The central spraying device is used as the main part on the cooling flow (water inflow), and the surrounding primary atomization spray heads are used as the auxiliary parts. 6) A water spraying screen is arranged on the outer side of an inner air cylinder provided with the spraying device.
In the cooling tower with the improved structure, during operation, the problems of 1) the cooling tower mainly comprising the flow rate of the central spraying device is difficult to design, install and maintain due to the excessive number of spraying devices in the large-scale cooling tower. 2) The excessive flow of the central spraying device can generate reflux sunk air to lead the cooling exhaust to be unsmooth, thereby affecting the cooling effect. 3) In the unit cooling tower of more than 150T/h, the water accumulation amount of the water return tank is insufficient, so that the cooling effect of the secondary spray cannot be fully exerted. 4) The water spraying screen mesh influences the height of the secondary spray flow, so that the cooling effect is influenced, and meanwhile, the screen mesh is easy to scale, block and deform.

Referring to fig. 2, the total number n1=22 of the primary nozzles 4b is uniformly distributed on four quadrangular pipes.
2) Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the water return groove 6 is arranged below the screen air duct 7 and is an annular square water return groove 6 along the periphery of the inner wall of the tower body, and a seal 6b is arranged between the square water return groove and the tower wall to prevent water leakage.

referring to fig. 1, pressurized hot water enters an upper spray propulsion atomizing device 13 and N1 primary spray heads 4b (namely, a secondary injection atomizing spray head 4A) for liquid suspension through a water inlet assembly at the same time for spraying. The reaction force of spray flow in the spraying device 13 drives the self spray head and the fan blade, and simultaneously the rotary mechanical air and the injection air cool the upper spray flow, and the cooled water falls into the water accumulation tank 2 below. At the same time, most of the hot water is sprayed to the upper tower wall obliquely through the primary spray head 4b and is injected with cold air, and finally falls into the water return tank 6. The hot water is subjected to primary cooling by forced heat exchange with air due to atomization and air suction. The secondary jet rotational flow atomizing nozzle 4A is utilized to have excellent low-pressure atomizing performance, primary warm water falling into a water return tank is sprayed and cooled again through the secondary nozzle 4A by utilizing the height difference. As most of the flow of the cooling hot water is collected by the water return groove 6, the generation of sinking wind caused by water mist return flow is avoided, thereby greatly reducing the ventilation resistance of the cooling tower and improving the effective air-water ratio.
