What is a cooling tower?
The cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and discharge it into the atmosphere to reduce the temperature of the water; its cooling is the use of water and air flow contact to perform cold and heat exchange to generate steam, steam volatilization Evaporative heat dissipation devices that take away heat to achieve evaporative heat dissipation, convective heat transfer, and radiant heat transfer to dissipate waste heat generated in industry or refrigeration and air conditioning to reduce the water temperature to ensure the normal operation of the system.
Working principle of the cooling tower:
By spraying the circulating water onto the glass fiber filler. The filler provides a larger contact surface, through the contact of water and air, to achieve a heat exchange effect. Then, a fan drives the airflow in the tower to circulate the hot air flow after heat exchange with water to achieve cooling. Filling may include multiple, mostly vertical, water-based elements on which the wet surface spreads (filling) or lateral splash elements create many cascades of thin layers (splashing) of small droplets with large ground surface area.
The main application of cooling tower
Cooling towers are mainly used in air conditioning cooling systems, freezing series, injection molding, leather making, foaming, power generation, steam turbines, aluminum profile processing, air compressors, industrial water cooling, etc. The most widely used are air conditioning cooling, freezing, plastic chemical industry. The specific division is as follows:
A. Air temperature adjustment category: air conditioning equipment, cold storage, cold storage room, freezing, heating and cooling air conditioning, etc .;
B. Manufacturing and processing: food industry, pharmaceutical industry, metal casting, plastic industry, rubber industry, textile industry, steel plant, chemical industry, petrochemical products, etc .;
C. Mechanical operation cooling type: generator, steam turbine, air compressor, hydraulic machine, engine, etc .;
D. Other industries ...
The function of the cooling tower is to exchange the cooling water-carrying waste heat with the air inside the tower body so that the waste heat is transferred to the air and dispersed into the atmosphere.
