COOLING TOWER Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F28C1/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: cooling tower includes an open hollow tower located above a water-collecting reservoir and provided with side openings at the bottom, an earthed electroconductive network installed with a gap relative to discharge electrodes connected to a high-voltage power supply source, a cooled water sprayer and a water-collecting device. Earthed electroconductive network is installed in the tower cavity and inclined to horizon not lower than the cooled water sprayer level and has conical shape with a top in the tower cavity centre. Inclined installation of the earthed electroconductive network in the tower cavity not lower than the cooled water sprayer level allows providing downward dripping of drops formed on the network surface and excluding dripping to a discharge gap, which allows providing stable combustion of corona discharge and effective separation of moisture on the earthed network surface.

EFFECT: reducing emission of moisture from a cooling tower to atmosphere.
