Cooling towers and cooling tower fill configured for the cooling of process water with air by indirect heat exchange, in which the fill is configured with a first set of channels and a second set of channels, said first and second set of channels interleaved with one-another so that heat exchange occurs across material separating said channels from one-another.

A fill sheet arrangement in a direct heat exchange section of a cooling tower is provided. Each fill sheet includes ridges, grooves, separators, and an air inlet louver zone itself having ridges, grooves and separators, that improve the performance of the fill sheet arrangement when installed as a direct heat exchange section of a cooling tower. The air inlet louver zone improves the air flow capabilities and performance of the direct heat exchange section by limiting the evaporative liquid from leaving the fill sheet.

A fill sheet and a fill pack manufactured from a plurality of fill sheets for cooling a cooling medium in a cooling tower, each fill sheet having a plurality of flutes extending diagonally from top to bottom of the fill sheet, the diagonal orientation of the flutes resulting from a plurality of alternating longer diagonal flute segments and shorter vertical flute segments, each of the plurality of flutes having the microstructure comprising a plurality of alternating rounded mounds and rounded depressions extending between flat ridge edges and flat valley edges of said flutes.

This low-pressure condenser is provided with: a pressure bulkhead which partitions the inside of the container into an upper space and a lower space; a heat transfer tube which is arranged in the upper space; and a reheater which is arranged in the lower space and which, by means of high-temperature steam flowing from the outside into the lower space, heats water which condenses in the upper space and flows into the lower space. The reheater includes multiple partition members, a receiving plate which receives water flowing downward via the partition members, and a dam which is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the receiving plate. The lower ends of the multiple partition members are below the upper end of the dam.

A water redistribution system for adiabatically pre-cooled dry coolers having stacked adiabatic panels, the water redistribution system located between upper and lower adiabatic panels and having a plurality of alternating baffles arranged to reduce water free-fall height and resultant splashing. Upwardly turned flanges at the top of each baffle inhibit the travel of water out of the interior water channel.

A packing module includes first and second flow paths which exchange heat between water sprayed from above and air flowing from below; a first import portion for importing water sprayed from one side of the packing module into the first flow path; a second import portion for importing water sprayed from the other side of the packing module into the second flow path; a first export portion for guiding water flowing out from the first water path to one side of the packing module for discharging; and, a second export portion for guiding water flowing out from the second water path to the other side of the packing module for discharging. Two flow paths in the packing module operate in different operation modes, so that water or wind flows through one flow path to cool water while air flows through the other flow path for heat exchange through partition walls.

A cooling tower for evaporative cooling of water is contained within an ISO-compliant shipping container frame, permitting stacking of cooling towers for transport and for certain industrial applications. A volume of fill media is contained within the frame. Spaced apart troughs underlie the fill media, running substantially the length of the fill media and connecting to a basin. Baffles are connected to one upper edge of the troughs, while an air flow space is positioned over the other upper trough edge. A water distribution system, with variable flow nozzles positioned closely above the fill media, sprays water over the upper surface of the fill media, where it moves by gravity down into the troughs. Fans atop the fill media move air vertically upward through the fill media.

The disclosure relates to plate-fin and manifold assemblies for heat exchangers. In some examples, an assembly includes a first plate and a second plate. The assembly also includes a plurality of fins disposed between the first plate and the second plate. In addition, the plurality of fins are spaced apart by a width large enough adapted for counter-flow of a plurality of fluids between adjacent fins of the plurality of fins. Further, the plurality of fins are configured to direct fluid flow across a length of the first plate and the second plate.

The present invention provides a packing sheet, a packing module and a cooling tower. The packing module has: stacked first flow path and second flow path which exchange heat between water sprayed from above and air flowing from below to above; a first import portion for importing water sprayed from one side of the packing module in a width direction into the first flow path; a second import portion for importing water sprayed from the other side of the packing module in the width direction into the second flow path; a first export portion for guiding water flowing out from the first water path to one side of the packing module in the width direction for discharging; and, a second export portion for guiding water flowing out from the second water path to the other side of the packing module in the width direction for discharging. In accordance with the present invention, two flow paths in the packing module can operate in different operation modes, so that water or wind can flow through one flow path to cool water while only air can flow through the other flow path to realize heat exchange through partition walls, thereby reducing fog discharge when wet air is discharged to the atmosphere.
