WATER DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE FOR COOLING TOWER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: heat-exchanger equipment, particularly for distributing, circulating, or accumulating liquid, as well as water recycling systems for power plants and industrial enterprises.

SUBSTANCE: structure has water feeding pipelines, wherein each pipeline is linked with separate water sprinkling section. Water distribution structure has two identical water sprinkling sections located one adjacent another and connected with water feeding pipelines by three support pipelines spaced equal distances one from another along water feeding pipeline. Each support pipeline is linked with horizontal water distribution pipeline in central part thereof. Water distribution pipelines are installed in parallel one to another and are mutually communicated by parallel water delivery pipelines having water sprinkling nozzles. Water sprinkling nozzles are uniformly distributed along water delivery pipelines. Two adjacent water sprinkling nozzles of each water delivery pipelines are spaced equal distances from the nearest water sprinkling nozzle connected to water delivery pipeline, wherein the distance is equal to distance between neighboring water sprinkling nozzles. Drift diameters of water distribution pipelines decrease in steps in direction from support pipeline connection with water distribution pipeline ends. Each end of water distribution pipeline is provided with flush orifice having 25 mm diameter. Diameter of one support pipeline located between two other ones exceeds diameter of these support pipelines by 20-30%.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of water distribution among annular water sprinkling sections and increased water cooling efficiency.
