Simulation and experimental verification of cooling thermal performance of vertical tube downflow composite evaporative cooling tower
The thermal performance of a vertical tube downflow composite evaporative cooling tower(VTD-CECT) with three-dimensional tubes was simulated under engineering application conditions. The effects of different ambient air conditions, different hot water inlet temperatures, and different spray densities on the cooling performance of VTD-CECT were analyzed. The performance test of the experimental prototype was carried out and compared with the simulated values, and the results show that the established VTD-CECT thermal performance prediction model has a good prediction effect. Analyzed the impact of packing to enhance the cooling capacity of evaporative cooling tower, the results show that in the case of 50 % of the cooling airflow through the packing, in the range of adjustable test conditions can enhance the cooling capacity of the VTD-CECT 31.7 % ∼ 40.8 %, reduce the spray water temperature of 0.94 ∼ 2.79 °C, and the reduction in metal usage is significant. A methodology for evaluating the cooling capacity of closed cooling towers is proposed. This study can provide a reference for the engineering application of the VTD-CECT.
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.
