Fig. 1 schematically shows an application scenario of a cooling tower according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, an application scenario 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes, for example, a cooling tower 200 and a data center 101.
In the embodiment of the present application, the data center 101 includes, but is not limited to, data transmission, computation, storage, and the like in application scenarios such as cloud computing, cloud service, cloud storage, big data, deep learning, and the like. The data center 101 generates a large amount of heat during operation, and usually radiates the heat by the cooling tower 200. For example, heat generated during operation of the data center 101 is carried by the fluid to the cooling tower 200, the cooling tower 200 cools the fluid from the data center 101 by an internal coolant, and the cooled fluid may flow back to the data center 101 again. In one example, the cooling tower 200 may be a closed cooling tower, i.e., the fluid from the data center 101 does not come into contact with the outside during the fluid flow into and out of the cooling tower 200.
FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a block diagram of a cooling tower according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, the cooling tower 200 includes, for example, a tower body 210, a heat exchanger 220, a shower 230, a first set of filter plates 240, and a second set of filter plates 250.
A heat exchanger 220 is disposed in the tower body 210, for example, and the heat exchanger 220 is configured to pass a fluid to be cooled through the heat exchanger 220 to discharge the cooled fluid. Where the fluid to be cooled carries heat generated by the data center, the fluid may be water.
In one example, the heat exchanger 220 may include a serpentine tube including an inlet 221 and an outlet 222, the inlet 221 and the outlet 222 of the serpentine tube being disposed outside the tower body 210, the inlet 221 of the serpentine tube being configured to receive the fluid to be cooled from outside the cooling tower, and the outlet 222 of the serpentine tube being configured to output the cooled fluid to the cooling tower. Wherein the inlet 221 is disposed above the outlet 220, for example, to facilitate fluid flow from the inlet 221 to the outlet 222 from the top down inside the serpentine tube. In one example, the cooling tower may be a closed cooling tower, i.e., fluid from the data center flows into the cooling tower from inlet 221 and out of the cooling tower from outlet 222, the fluid flowing in a serpentine tube and not in contact with the outside.
The shower unit 230 is provided in the tower body 210, for example, above the heat exchanger 220, and the shower unit 230 is configured to spray the coolant to the heat exchanger 220. The sprayer 230 includes, for example, a plurality of spray heads through which coolant is sprayed to the heat exchanger 220 to cool the fluid in the heat exchanger 220. Wherein the coolant may be water.
In the present embodiment, a first set of filter plates 240 is disposed in the tower body 210 below the heat exchanger 220, and a second set of filter plates 250 is disposed in the tower body 210 below the first set of filter plates 240.
Wherein the first set of filter plates 240 comprises, for example, at least one filter plate and the second set of filter plates 250 comprises, for example, also at least one filter plate. Wherein each filter plate of the first set of filter plates 240 and the second set of filter plates 250 is inclined with respect to the vertical direction such that a distance between a first end of each filter plate and the bottom of the tower body 210 is greater than a distance between a second end of each filter plate and the bottom of the tower body 210.
I.e. the first end in each filter plate is higher than the second end of each filter plate. After the sprayer 230 sprays the coolant to the heat exchanger 220, the coolant comes into contact with the surface of the heat exchanger 220 and cools the fluid inside the heat exchanger 220. The coolant drops from the heat exchanger 220 to the first and second filter plates 240 and 250, and the first and second filter plates 240 and 250 filter the coolant to filter impurities in the coolant. The coolant filtered by the first and second filter plates 240 and 250 flows to the bottom of the tower body 210. The bottom of the tower 210 may be a water tray for storing coolant.
In the present embodiment, the first set of filter plates 240 are disposed above the second set of filter plates 250 such that a portion of the coolant falling on the first set of filter plates 240 is filtered by the first set of filter plates 240 and falls to the bottom of the tower 210, and a portion of the coolant flows to the second end of each filter plate in the first set of filter plates 240 without being filtered by the first set of filter plates 240 and then falls onto the second set of filter plates 250, and is continuously filtered by the second set of filter plates 250. Wherein the coolant falling to the bottom of the tower body 210 can be recycled, for example, the coolant at the bottom of the tower body 210 can be sucked into the shower 230 and sprayed again toward the heat exchanger 220 through the shower 230.
In the embodiment of the present application, by disposing the first and second filter plates 240 and 250 below the heat exchanger 220, the coolant in the cooling tower is filtered by the two filter plates cooperating with each other to filter impurities in the coolant. Therefore, when the coolant is recycled, impurities in the coolant are prevented from scaling on the surface of the heat exchanger 220, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 220 is improved, and the maintenance time of the cooling tower is shortened.
Fig. 3 schematically shows a block diagram of a first set of filter panels and a second set of filter panels according to an embodiment of the application.
As shown in fig. 3, the first group of filter plates 240 includes, for example, first filter plates 241 and second filter plates 242, and the first filter plates 241 and the second filter plates 242 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the vertical direction. The first filter plate 241 includes a first end 2411 and a second end 2412, and the first end 2411 is located at a greater distance from the bottom of the tower than the second end 2412. The second filter plates 242 include first and second ends 2421 and 2422, and the first end 2421 is spaced a greater distance from the bottom of the tower body than the second end 2422.
The second group of filter plates 250 includes third filter plates 251 and fourth filter plates 252, the third filter plates 251 and the fourth filter plates 252 being symmetrically disposed with respect to the vertical direction. The third filter plate 251 includes a first end 2511 and a second end 2512, and the first end 2511 is located at a greater distance from the bottom of the tower than the second end 2512. The fourth filter plate 252 includes a first end 2521 and a second end 2522, the first end 2521 being spaced further from the bottom of the tower body than the second end 2522.
In another example, an axis of symmetry between the first filter plate 241 and the second filter plate 242 coincides with an axis of symmetry between the third filter plate 251 and the fourth filter plate 252, for example, an axis of symmetry AA' shown in fig. 3.
The second end 2412 of the first filter plate 241 is at a distance H from the axis of symmetry A1Is greater than the distance H from the first end 2511 of the third filter plate 251 to the axis of symmetry A2So that the unfiltered coolant on the first filter plates 241 falls from the second ends 2412 of the first filter plates 241 to the third filter plates 251. Similarly, the second ends 2422 of the second filter plates 242 are a distance H from the axis of symmetry A3Is greater than the distance H from the first end 2521 of the fourth filter plate 252 to the axis of symmetry A4Thereby allowing the unfiltered coolant on the second filter plates 242 to fall from the second ends 2422 of the second filter plates 242 to the fourth filter plates 252. Therefore, through the symmetrical arrangement of each filter plate in the first group of filter plates 240 and the second group of filter plates 250, the two groups of filter plates can be matched with each other to filter the coolant, and the filtering effect is improved.
In another example of the present application, the surface of each of the first and second sets of filter plates 240 and 250 facing the shower side has a stepped structure. Namely, the first filter plates 241,
The second filter plate 242, the third filter plate 251 and the fourth filter plate 252 have a stepped structure toward the shower side.
In this embodiment, each filter plate may include a fiber filter having a better function of adsorbing impurities, and when a portion of the coolant falls into the bottom of the tower body through the filter plate from the upper surface of the filter plate, the filter plate adsorbs or blocks impurities in the coolant passing through the filter plate. In addition, the filter plate has a step-shaped structure, and when the other part of the coolant which does not penetrate through the filter plate flows on the upper surface of the filter plate from top to bottom, impurities in the coolant stay on each step. From this, the filter can be set up to the fibre filter screen that has step-like structure, can improve the filter effect of filter to the coolant.
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a block diagram of a cooling tower according to another embodiment of the present application.
As shown in FIG. 4, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the cooling tower 200 also includes a coolant collection tank 260. A coolant collection trough 260 is provided for at least one of the first and second sets of filter panels 240, 250, the coolant collection trough 260 being configured to collect coolant that flows down the surface of at least one of the first and second sets of filter panels 240, 250 toward one side of the sprayer 230. Impurities in the coolant collected by the coolant collection tank 260 may settle at the bottom of the coolant collection tank 260, and when the coolant collection tank 260 is filled with coolant, the coolant may overflow from the coolant collection tank 260, leaving impurities that settle at the bottom of the coolant collection tank 260. It can be seen that the coolant collection tank 260 has a filtering function, which can precipitate impurities in the coolant.
In the example shown in fig. 4, the coolant collection tank 260 is disposed on the second set of filter panels 250. For example, a coolant collection tank 260 is provided on each filter plate in the second set of filter plates 250. A coolant collection trough 260 is provided at the second end of the filter plate.
As shown in fig. 4, the cooling tower 200 may further include a coolant replenishment device 270, an inlet 270A of the coolant replenishment device 270 may be disposed at the bottom of the tower body 210, and an outlet 270B of the coolant replenishment device 270 may be disposed above the first group of filter plates 240. The coolant replenishment device 270 is configured to draw coolant from the bottom of the tower 210 through an inlet 270A of the coolant replenishment device 270 and discharge the coolant from an outlet 270B of the coolant replenishment device 270 to at least one of the first set of filter plates 240 and the second set of filter plates 250. In one example, the coolant makeup 270 draws coolant from the bottom of the tower 210 and discharges it onto the first set of filter plates 240.
In one example, the cooling tower may cool the fluid in the heat exchanger 220 by introducing air outside the cooling tower, in addition to cooling the fluid in the heat exchanger 220 by the coolant. In one operating condition, when the spray thrower 230 of the cooling tower is in an inactive state, no coolant falls on the first and second sets of filter plates 240 and 250, so that the first and second sets of filter plates 240 and 250 are dry.
In the present embodiment, the coolant at the bottom of the suction tower 210 may be pumped by the coolant replenishment device 270 to the first group of filter plates 240 and then the coolant on the first group of filter plates 240 flows to the second group of filter plates 250, thereby humidifying the first group of filter plates 240 and the second group of filter plates 250. When the air outside the cooling tower contacts the first and second filter plates 240 and 250 after entering the cooling tower, the wetted first and second filter plates 240 and 250 may be used to adsorb impurities in the air, which may include suspended particles. It can be seen that humidifying the first and second sets of filter panels 240 and 250 by the coolant replenishment device 270 improves the air filtering effect of the first and second sets of filter panels 240 and 250. In addition, after the air from the outside of the cooling tower contacts the first and second sets of wet filter plates 240 and 250, the coolant on the first and second sets of filter plates 240 and 250 absorbs the heat in the air and gasifies the air to cool the air, and the cooled air can be circulated upward to the heat exchanger 220 to cool the fluid in the heat exchanger 220.

The bottom filter structure 280 is disposed in the tower body 210 below the second set of filter plates 250, and the bottom filter structure 280 is configured to collect the coolant overflowing from the coolant collection tank 260. The bottom filtering structure 280 may be, for example, a fiber filtering net, and may be used to block or adsorb impurities in the coolant to filter the coolant, and the filtered coolant falls into the bottom of the tower body 210.
The cooling tower 200 may also include a spray pump 290 and a spray delivery tube 2100. The spray pump 290 is provided outside the tower body 210, and the spray pump 290 is disposed to suck the coolant at the bottom of the tower body 210 from the outlet 210A at the bottom of the tower body 210.

A spray delivery pipe 2100 is provided on a portion in the tower body 210 to the spray 230, and the spray delivery pipe 2100 serves to discharge the coolant from the spray pump 290 from the spray 230. The coolant at the bottom of the tower body 210 is pumped by the spray pump 290 and the spray delivery pipe 2100, so that the coolant can be recycled.
The cooling tower 200 may further include a filter frame 2110, the filter frame 2110 is disposed at the outlet 210A of the bottom of the tower body 210, for example, and the filter frame 2110 is configured to filter the coolant drawn from the bottom of the tower body 210 by the spray pump 290. The filter frame 2110 may be a rectangular parallelepiped filter screen having six faces, five of which are provided with filter screens, and the remaining one face is a screen-free opening 2111, the opening 2111 being mounted, for example, on a side wall of the tower body 210. The coolant at the bottom of the tower body 210 is filtered by the filter frame 2110 before being drawn to the spray delivery pipe 2100 by the spray pump 290 to reduce impurities in the recycled coolant.
As shown in fig. 4, the cooling tower 200 may also include a drive fan 2120 and a cooling tower outlet 2130. Through the rotation of drive fan 2120 for the inside hot-air of cooling tower flows out the cooling tower from cooling tower air outlet 2130, realizes cooling down the inside of cooling tower.
