Description
- The present invention relates to a cooling device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a recurring cooling device making use of natural water.
- With development of the current industry, thermal exchangers have been widely employed in the oil-refining industry, petrifaction industry, hi-tech electronic industry and the like, as the devices for heat removing.
- Since the thermal exchanger is generally used in miscellaneous environments where the conditions of capacity, pressure, temperature and the like are different from one another, the thermal exchanger has to be formed in various shapes, structures and categorizations. The shell-tube thermal exchanger can be one of the most widely used thermal exchangers. Such shell-tube thermal exchanger can be seen from
FIG. 1 . As shown, a cool liquid serves as acoolant 14 and flows into an enclosedtrough body 11 having the thermal exchanger formed therein, the thermal exchanger being formed by winding a lot ofslender metal tubes 12 and the thermal exchanger being surrounded by the coolant. The enclosedtrough body 11 is termed as “casing”, while the metal tube is termed as “tube body”. - The shell-tube thermal exchanger is operated according to the process described below. At first, a
thermal fluid 16 to be cooled is poured into the thermal exchanger composed of themetal tubes 12. Then, the heat of thethermal fluid 16 is transferred to thecoolant 14 whose temperature is relatively lower than that of thethermal fluid 16. As such, a thermal exchange occurs between thethermal fluid 16 and thecoolant 14. In the course of thermal exchanging, thethermal fluid 16 is lowered in temperature and becomes anotherthermal fluid 17, while thecoolant 14 is elevated in temperature and becomes anothercoolant 15. As such, the cooling function is achieved. - The
metal tubes 12 are typically extended and fixed by welding to atube plate 13 to form a tube group. Next, the tube group is inserted into thecasing 11 to from the thermal exchanger. In the thermal exchanger, themetal tubes 12 are disposed horizontally in general. However, themetal tubes 12 may also be disposed vertically in the case that the area occupied by the metal tube is limited or the thermal exchanger is used for the purpose of distillation. - The thermal exchanger may be categorized into several types according to the connection between the tube plate and the casing, such as a fixed tube plate based thermal exchanger, a floated head based thermal exchanger and a U-shape tube based thermal exchanger. However, no matter which type of the thermal exchanger is used, there exist the following issues. Firstly, Since the casing is sealed up and thus deposited articles therein are hard to be removed, a highly polluted or erosive fluid is not suitable to serve as the coolant. Secondly, there is a temperature difference between the two fluids, at the casing side and the metal tube side, which is greater than 100° C. In addition, an excessively large difference of thermal expansion coefficient is presented between the material of the casing and that of the metal tube. Accordingly, a significant expansion difference occurs between the casing and the metal tube and causes a non-uniform expansion in the thermal exchanger, leading to failure of the thermal exchanger. This is also true for the case where the temperature is low owing to the significant difference of thermal expansion coefficient. Thirdly, for the thermal exchanger, the more complicate the structure thereof is, the higher the cost therefor will be. Fourthly, the larger the pressure in the thermal exchanger is or the higher the requirement of the thermal exchange is, the thicker the metal tube will be and the larger the volume of the thermal exchanger will be, leading to a larger occupation area of the thermal exchanger. Fifthly, the thermal exchanger generates waste heat in operation into the ambient environment, adversely increasing the greenhouse effect and polluting the environment. Sixthly, the thermal exchanger generates unpleasant noises in operation. Seventhly, fluorine and chlorine carbides generally serve as the coolant, forming a menace to the ozone layer surrounding the earth. Eighthly, a huge amount of power energy is consumed during the temperature reduction process, causing a power waste for the heat exchanger.
- Take the air-conditioning apparatus for example, the waste heat vented therefrom will be dispersed in the air, which causes a power thermal saturation of the air nearby not long after the operation of the air-conditioning apparatus, and thus the waste heat is accumulated and needs a long time to be removed. Consequently, the air temperature is elevated and the operating efficiency of the heat exchanger is lowered.
- From the above description, it is known that how to develop a recurring natural water cooling device has become a major problem to be solved.

The air-conditioning tool 27 drains out a firstthermal fluid 28. After being processed by the thermal exchangingdevice 24, the firstthermal fluid 28 is converted into a secondthermal fluid 29. Afirst groundwater flow 210 serves as a coolant for the thermal exchangingdeice 24. Asecond groundwater flow 211 is used to receive the heat of the firstthermal fluid 28. In this embodiment, a confinedaquifer zone 212 is used as the natural water source. The first, second andthird diversion devices - In forming the recurring natural water cooling device, the
first diversion device 21 is first formed. In this embodiment, thefirst diversion device 21 is a well, a tube for water guiding, or any device which can achieve the purpose of water guiding. Thefirst diversion device 21 has to be connected to the confinedaquifer zone 212 so that theflow channel 22 is connected with the confinedaquifer zone 212 and thefirst groundwater flow 210 can be provided to theflow channel 22. However, thefirst diversion device 21 may be implemented in many forms other than the above-mentioned one. - Then, the
flow channel 22 is formed, in which a room sufficient for disposition of theheat transferring device 24 and thepower device 23 and for thefirst groundwater flow 210 to flow therein has to be provided. Theflow channel 22 may be a deep well, a shallow well, a casing pipe and any other devices which can achieve the same purpose. Further, theflow channel 22 may be one formed artificially or naturally. In addition, theflow channel 22 may be formed above the ground, as contrast to the above embodiment where theflow channel 22 is formed under the ground. However, theflow channel 22 may be implemented in many forms other than the above-mentioned one. - Subsequently, the second and
third diversion devices second diversion device 25 is a tube for water guiding and used to connect thepower device 23 with thethird diversion device 26. Thesecond diversion device 25 may be a metal tube, a concrete tube or any other devices which can be used for water guiding, as long as the same purpose can be achieved. In addition, thesecond diversion device 25 may be one formed artificially or naturally. - The
third diversion device 26 is a recharge well of the groundwater, which can be one formed artificially or naturally according to actual needs. Thethird diversion device 26 is connected to thesecond diversion device 25 and the confinedaquifer zone 212 so as to direct thesecond groundwater flow 211 to flow back to the confinedaquifer zone 212. In this manner, the purpose of environment protection may be achieved since the groundwater obtained from the underground can flow back to the underground after being utilized for the cooling task. - In the recurring natural water cooling device, the thermal exchanging
device 24 and thepower device 23 are placed in theflow channel 22. In this embodiment, thepower device 23 is a pump. Thepower device 23 accelerates thefirst groundwater flow 210 in theflow channel 22 to flow through and surround the thermal exchangingdevice 24.

Next, thesecond groundwater flow 212 continues to flow into thepower device 23 and then thethird diversion device 26. Finally, thesecond ground water 212 is guided by thethird diversion device 26 to the confinedaquifer zone 212. - In this manner, since the
first groundwater flow 210 from the natural water source flows back to the confinedaquifer zone 212 in the form of thesecond groundwater flow 211 and the coolant is also the natural water flow, the natural water cooling device is used with benefit of the continuous natural water source. - Referring to

In addition, thefirst diversion device 31 is used for accommodating thepower device 33 and for thefirst groundwater flow 310 to flow therein. However, thefirst diversion device 31 may be implemented in many forms other than the above-mentioned one. - Then, the
flow channel 32 is formed, in which a room sufficient for disposition of the thermal exchangingdevice 34 and for thefirst groundwater flow 210 to flow therein has to be provided. Theflow channel 32 may be one formed artificially on the ground. However, theflow channel 32 may be implemented in many forms other than the above-mentioned one. - Subsequently, the
second diversion device 35 is formed. Thesecond diversion device 35 is a tube for water guiding and used to connect thepower device 33 with theflow channel 32 and theflow channel 32 with thethird diversion device 36, respectively. Thesecond diversion device 35 may be a metal tube, a concrete tube or any other devices which can be used for water guiding, as long as the same purpose can be achieved. In addition, thesecond diversion device 35 may be one formed artificially or naturally. Thesecond diversion device 35 is used to guide thefirst groundwater flow 310 drained out from thepower device 33 to theflow channel 32 and thesecond groundwater flow 311 drained out from theflow channel 32 to thethird diversion device 36. - The
third diversion device 36 is a recharge well of the groundwater, which can be one formed artificially or naturally according to actual needs. Thethird diversion device 36 is connected to thesecond diversion device 35 and the confinedaquifer zone 312 so as to direct thesecond groundwater flow 311 to flow back to the confinedaquifer zone 312.

device 34 is placed in theflow channel 32 and thepower device 33 is placed in thefirst diversion device 31. In this embodiment, thepower device 33 is a pump. Thepower device 33 accelerates thefirst groundwater flow 310 in thediversion device 31 to flow through theflow channel 32 and surround the thermal exchangingdevice 34. Then, thefirst groundwater flow 310 is guided to thesecond diversion device 35. Since theflow channel 32 is a water container above the ground, thepower device 33 may be placed above or below the ground and differently arranged according to the form of theflow channel 32. However, thepower device 33 may have other embodiments other than the above-mentioned one. - In operation, the first
thermal fluid 38 drained from the air-conditioning tool 37 is a waste heat containing fluid in any form, which is then directed to the thermal exchangingdevice 34. The coolant for the thermal exchangingdevice 34 is thefirst groundwater flow 310. Since thefirst groundwater flow 310 has a temperature lower than that of the firstthermal fluid 38, the heat of the firstthermal fluid 38 is transmitted through the thermal exchangingdevice 34 to thefirst groundwater flow 310, which is then drained from the thermal exchangingdevice 34 as the secondthermal fluid 39, the secondthermal fluid 39 having a temperature lower than that of the firstthermal fluid 38. Next, the secondthermal fluid 39 flows back to the air-conditioning tool 37 for subsequent use in the cooling task. - In addition, the

Since thefirst groundwater flow 310 has a temperature lower than that of the firstthermal fluid 38, thefirst groundwater flow 310 receives the heat of the firstthermal fluid 38 through the thermal exchangingdevice 34. As such, the purpose of removing the heat of the firstthermal fluid 28 is achieved. After passing the thermal exchangingdevice 34, thefirst groundwater flow 311 is converted into thesecond groundwater flow 312. Since the heat of thesecond groundwater flow 312 is received by the firstthermal fluid 38, the temperature of thesecond groundwater flow 312 is higher than that of thefirst groundwater flow 311. Next, thesecond groundwater flow 312 continues to flow into thesecond diversion device 35 and then thethird diversion device 36. Finally, thesecond ground water 312 is guided by thethird diversion device 36 to the confinedaquifer zone 312. - In this manner, since the

thermal conduction tube 41 is a wound metal tube for the firstthermal fluid 43 to flow therein. Thethermal conduction tube 41 is supported by thetube plate 42 and totally surrounded by the coolant, i.e. the firstnatural water 45. Since the metal of thethermal conduction tube 41 has an excellent thermal conduction characteristic, the heat of the firstthermal fluid 43 flown through thethermal conduction tube 41 is received by the firstnatural water 45. Thus, the temperature of the firstthermal fluid 43 is reduced gradually and converted into the secondthermal fluid 44 having a temperature higher than that of the firstthermal fluid 43.
