Abstract: A steam dispersion system including insulation is disclosed. The steam dispersion system may include a steam dispersion tube with at least one opening defined on an outer surface of the steam dispersion tube and a hollow interior. The insulation covers at least a portion of the steam dispersion tube, the insulation defining an opening aligned with the opening of the steam dispersion tube, wherein the insulation meets 25/50 flame/smoke indexes for UL723/ASTM E-84 and has a thermal conductivity less than about 0.35 Watts/m-K (2.4 in-hr/ft{circumflex over ( )}2 deg F.). A nozzle defining a throughhole may be placed within the opening of the steam dispersion tube, the throughhole being in fluid communication with the hollow interior of the steam dispersion tube to provide a steam exit.

Abstract: A cycles of concentration (COC) control process and system for an evaporative media cooling system having a water storage tank in fluid communication with a drain valve and a refill valve is disclosed. In one step, the COC control process includes the step of executing a plurality of discrete refill events to maintain a level or volume of water within the storage tank. In another step, the COC control process includes the step of executing a discrete drain event, equaling the volume of a refill event, after a discrete refill event has been executed when necessary to maintain a target cycles of concentration value of the water within the storage tank. In one embodiment, a discrete drain event is executed when the number of refill events is greater than or equals a target cycles of concentration of the water in the storage tank.

Abstract: A staging control process for an evaporative media cooling system having a plurality of media stages is disclosed. In one step, a leaving air dry bulb temperature setpoint for air exiting the evaporative media cooling system is received or defined. In one aspect, an expected media exit dry bulb temperature is calculated for each media stage based on a dry bulb temperature and a wet bulb temperature of air entering the media cooling system and based on a measured or assigned condition of the media. In another aspect, an estimated combined leaving dry bulb temperature is calculated for different combinations of activated and deactivated media stages. Once the estimated leaving temperature is known, the method can then activate the media stage(s) associated with the combination that has an estimated combined leaving dry bulb temperature that is nearest to but less than the leaving air dry bulb temperature setpoint.

Abstract: A staged dry out process and control system for an evaporative media cooling system having a plurality of media stages that are selectively activated and deactivated by a control system is disclosed. The staged dry out process ensures that wet media stages are appropriately dried with minimal disruption to the staging strategy implemented by the control system. In one aspect, the staged dry out process monitors deactivated media stages to determine if the media stages reach a dry state before being activated. In another aspect, the staged dry out process locks out a media stage that has been in a wet state beyond a predetermined maximum time limit until the media stage attains a dry state. With this strategy the cooling system can operate without being required to completely shut down for a drying process.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种具有由控制系统选择性地激活和去激活的多个介质级的蒸发介质冷却系统的分级干燥过程和控制系统。 分阶段的干燥过程确保湿媒体阶段被适当地干燥,同时对控制系统实施的分期策略的干扰最小。 在一个方面,分级干燥过程监测去激活的介质阶段,以确定介质阶段在被激活之前是否达到干燥状态。 在另一方面,分级干燥过程将已经处于潮湿状态的介质阶段锁定超过预定的最大时限,直到介质阶段达到干燥状态。 通过这种策略,冷却系统可以在不需要完全关闭干燥过程的情况下运行。
