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

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: cooling tower includes a tower, in the lower part of which an opening is located, which is provided with shields installed in it at an angle of 60-75° to a tangent drawn to a circle of the tower base, water spraying and irrigation systems; the shields are made in the form of tubular elements installed with a pitch that is not more than length of a tubular element. Tubular elements are connected to each other via a pipeline from the water spraying system, and along the lower surface of tubular elements there uniformly located are water atomisation holes with formation of tangential air inlet ducts. An inclined surface is formed along the perimeter of the cooling tower at an angle of 10-15°.

EFFECT: invention allows improving water cooling efficiency of a cooling tower due to intensification of heat and mass exchange inside the cooling tower by creation of swirling of an air flow with guide water curtains formed with cheaper and easier-to-operate tubular elements.
