COLD ACCUMULATIVE COOLING TOWER Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F28C1/00 F28F25/08 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: cold accumulating cooling tower contains a rectangular in cross-section body with an air-intake windows and air distributors, the fan unit and a nozzle atomizer of winteproof water is located in the upper part of the housing, and at least three rows of irrigation nozzles, installed in the middle part of the body with the composite elements from hydrophilic material and a tank for cooling water collection, placed below the body, and its bleeding to the consumer. Each of the irrigation nozzles is a group of spherical hydrophilic elements from fibrous material, which are suspended by means of holders to the bearing them horizontal base, forming at least three rows in the vertical direction and positioned relatively to each other in both the horizontal and vertical planes in the staggered order and providing the process gap between them. The number of spherical elements and their diameter is determined by the specified cooling tower efficiency, and the holders are made of the material, having a minimum thermal conductivity. The diameter of spherical hydrophilic elements is determined depending on the diameter of the cooling tower flow part according to the ratio 1/50. The spherical hydrophilic elements are made from the capable to absorpt the condensed moisture fibrous material, allowing multiple cycles of freezing - defrosting without loss of absorption properties, such as from cotton wool.

EFFECT: invention allows to improve the economic and process efficiency of the cooling tower by increasing the nozzle packing density and thus the heat exchange specific surface value, to reduce the power consumption by the ice accumulation in the irrigation nozzles composite elements made from hydrophilic material.
