Aerodynamic and hydroaerothermic tests of cooling tower sprinkler

Abstract

Abstract Industrial water supply systems are designed to supply water to production in the required quantities and of the appropriate quality. They consist of a complex of interconnected structures - water intake devices, pumping stations, installations for cleaning and improving water quality, control and spare tanks, water coolers and a distribution network of pipelines. Depending on the purpose and local conditions, some of the listed structures may not be available in the system. The temperature regime of any production is carried out using recycled water systems, most often equipped with fan and tower cooling towers. The main element of all types of cooling towers, affecting the efficiency of the interaction of the droplet liquid with the ascending air flow and, accordingly, the efficiency of the cooling towers, is the sprinkler. This article describes the design of the polymer drip-film sprinkler of cooling towers, and also presents the results of aerodynamic and hydroaerothermic studies of this nozzle design.
