COOLING TOWER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F28C1/00 

FIELD: heating; motors and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: cooling tower contains housing with open in bottom air inlet openings and watershed, axial blower located in the place of convergent pipe and diffuser coupling and water-distributing facilities. Tower also consists of hydraulic drive connected with axial blower. In addition, axis of hydraulic drive rotation is combined in space with axial blower axis of rotation. Axial blower shaft is connected with hydraulic drive shaft through centrifugal coupling where hollow shaft is fast fixed with hydraulic drive shaft. Hollow shaft is inserted into bushing connected to distribution header pipe. At the same time bushing is a housing of friction bearing. Hydraulic drive is represented in the form of Segner wheel consisting of two parallel lines of pipes arranged crossways. Water distributing facilities in the shape of slotted injectors are located at the ends of pipes. Axial blower is mounted on support fixed to bean and girder floor. Hydraulic drive support is fixed to axial blower support.

EFFECT: invention allows for improving return water cooling effectiveness and reducing energy consumption during cooling tower operation and capital costs during tower construction.
