Numerical investigation on spray cooling of skid-mounted CNG air cooler under the influence of crosswind
Air cooler is a critical heat dissipation equipment applied in the field of oil and gas storage, which is mainly used to control the temperature during oil and gas storage and ensure the safety of oil and gas storage. After the installation of the spray cooling system on the skid-mounted compressed natural gas (CNG) air cooler Suqiao gas storage, the inlet air temperature of the air cooler decreases, resulting in reduced compressor power consumption. This effectively addresses the issue of unit shutdown due to high temperatures during the summer. However, the actual spray effect on-site reveals the impact of crosswinds, which poses a challenge. In this study, the flow field and causes of the skid-mounted CNG air cooler equipped with a spray cooling system under the influence of crosswinds are analyzed. Additionally, a solution involving the installation of a baffle is proposed. The results highlight that crosswinds have an adverse effect on outdoor spray cooling. With the installation of the baffle, the low-temperature area expands, resulting in lower temperatures. The cooling range is approximately 2 K, effectively counteracting the negative effects of crosswinds.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
