    摘要: A non-clogging liquid distribution assembly especially adapted for use in counterflow water cooling towers is provided which includes a hollow-cone, swirl-type nozzle and a series of circularly arranged, arcuate water-dispersing buttons disposed below the nozzle for breaking up water sprayed from the latter and uniformly dispersing the same over a relatively wide planar area in order to ensure adequate water cooling. The configuration and orientation of the buttons is carefully chosen so as to ensure that individual water particles from the nozzle angularly impinge against the dispersing buttons for maximum water breakup. The assembly is constructed for safely clearing foamed plastic or cellular synthetic rubber balls conventionally placed in cooling water systems to clear condenser tubes or the like. These balls are sized for a particular condenser tube system and vary from 1/2 in. to 11/2 in.

    摘要: A simplified, selectively actuatable deicing apparatus for evaporative water cooling towers is provided which permits selective delivery of hot water from the upper distribution basin to the outer margin of the tower for deicing of the fill structure and inlet louvers thereof in order to maintain adequate airflow through the tower during sub-freezing ambient conditions. The deicing apparatus includes structure defining a substantially continuous water passageway or slot in the distribution basin adjacent the outer margin thereof, in combination with valving devices in the form of a series of elongated, individually shiftable cover members which can be selectively raised to permit flow of hot water through the slot in sufficient quantities to deice the outermost areas of the tower which are prone to ice clogging. In preferred forms the cover members are controlled by a series of lifting mechanisms having flexible bladders which can be variably filled with a fluid such as air or nitrogen and expanded in order to lift the cover members away from the underlying slots to thereby permit flow of hot water therethrough for deicing operations.

    摘要: A dual path drift eliminator and method is provided which effectively removes entrained water particles from high velocity moist airstreams leaving a crossflow cooling tower fill structure by the use of spaced, cellular, individually draining, diversion path-defining structures strategically located and arranged to facilitate maximum drift elimination. The drift eliminator has a plurality of elongated air passages therein disposed to first divide the moist air from the tower fill into a series of separate streams which are first diverted at an upward angle relative to the initial path thereof, and thereafter rediverted laterally to one side of the first diversion path. Water particle removal is thus greatly enhanced by virtue of increased impingement of the entrained particles against the cellular walls defining the respective diversion paths. The eliminators hereof have special advantages in crossflow cooling towers because the spacing between the diversion path defining cellular structures permits separate draining of the water collected in each, so that air inlet blockage resulting from the accumulated drainage of large volumes of water from a single drainage area is avoided. The eliminator structure preferably includes a number of juxtaposed pairs of spaced, elongated, transversely corrugated, preformed sections sandwiched between elongated, preformed, transversely V-shaped panels to define a structurally distinct eliminator pack which can be manufactured using assembly line techniques; such packs are moreover of nestable configuration permitting complemental positioning of a plurality of packs to present a substantially continuous drift eliminator unit free of objectionable vertical gaps, notwithstanding the lack of conventional shiplap joints or other mechanical interconnection between individual eliminator packs.
