SECTIONAL EJECTION COOLING TOWER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F28C1/00 F28C1/12 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for cooling of recirculating water. A sectional ejection cooling tower (CT) has a single housing separated into sections with curved partitions and through air-duct tunnels. A supporting frame and a water storage basin are located in lower part of the housing. An exhaust channel with a drop catcher installed inside is arranged in CT upper part above each section. All CT enclosures are made of two layers of shaped polymer sheets. Water drains - from above, wind partition walls - on sides and a lower deck - from below are enclosing surfaces of each tunnel. Curtains are mounted above tunnel inlets. Its internal volume is divided into two tiers with a process platform, the flooring of which in the middle part is of grating type. Each section has two water drains with an inclination towards each other. Headers of a water distributing system are located under water drains. In each ejector a provision is made for a hydraulic lock between an atomiser flame and an ejection channel wall. The hydraulic lock in a zone of not more than 150 mm wide from an upper edge of the channel is provided by selection of diameter and height of the ejection channel and an opening angle of the atomiser flame. During winter period, curtains fall down to the level of the process platform, thus preventing formation of icicles and formation of frost on CT structures.

EFFECT: improving CT cooling capacity, reducing energy consumption of the process, preventing formation of frost on structures during winter period.
