Cooling is the most important stage in the production of polymer products. For its implementation in production, cooling towers are used, which are presented on the website of the IBC SYSTEMS company at the link ibc-systems.com.ua/ru/catalogue/industrycool/. We will talk about them in this material.
Characteristics of the equipment
The cooling tower is a heat exchange device that is actively used in circulating water supply systems. The main function is to cool the incoming water. Due to this, the service life is increased
production equipment — the cooling tower protects it from overheating and destruction under the influence of hot water.
The design of the device assumes the presence of the following structural elements:
-
advance camera;
-
purging;
-
ACS system;
-
solemer
All these elements provide effective water cooling. The equipment is used in many fields, including metallurgical, energy, machine-building, aviation, chemical and others.
Basic views
It is the most demanded in production dry cooling tower. It is a system in which radiators are used for heat transfer, and fans are used to remove heated air. Among its operational advantages, the following can be noted:
-
various impurities do not enter the cooled liquid, so it remains clean;
-
practically not subject to corrosion;
-
effectively cools liquids of high temperature;
-
upon cooling, the liquid does not lose its volume.
However, such equipment has some disadvantages. First, it is a relatively high cost of both the equipment itself and its components. Secondly, the liquid may freeze during cooling, which leads to the breakdown of the radiator
There are also evaporative or wet cooling towers. The essence of their work is reduced to the transfer of heat from the liquid to the atmospheric air, in other words, water is cooled during its evaporation. Evaporative cooling towers are represented by four main types:
-
tower
-
separately standing ventilators;
-
sectional ventilators;
-
small-sized
Tower cooling towers are the largest. They are used at thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, where the priority is the total thermal power, not the depth of cooling. They are able to quickly and efficiently cool large volumes of water.
Free-standing fan cooling towers are a metal frame of cylindrical shape more than 10 meters high, which is installed at a distance from the industrial facility.
Sectional and small-sized cooling towers have a lot in common. Only the first are used at large enterprises, and the second at objects with a small turnover cycle.
