Multi-cavity tubes for air-over evaporative heat exchanger

An air-over evaporative heat exchanger with multi-lobed or "peanut" shaped tubes replacing conventional round or elliptical tubes. The tubes have a narrow horizontal cross section and tall vertical cross section to allow the multiplication of surface area in the same coil volume while maintaining or increasing the open-air passage area. This configuration allows the coil to have an overall external heat transfer coefficient much higher than a conventional coil, while the tube shape allows the use of thinner material, reducing the weight and cost of the heat exchanger.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A control system and method of controlling the cycling of water in a cooling tower system having a course of make-up water of variable conductivity. The control system apparatus includes respective probes for sensing tower water conductivity and make-up water conductivity. The probes provide signals to a controller unit.

Means are provided to display system conditions and to effect calibrations of the system. The method entails establishing an indexing factor based upon the cooling water parameters and the desired Langelier's number(s) and using that indexing factor for adjusting the trip point.

Condenser with fluid medium flow channel with several cross sections

FIELD: cooling. SUBSTANCE: refrigerant condenser, characterized by the presence of a plurality of sections of straight pipes ending in segmented headers, each subsequent section is characterized by a total cross-sectional area, which is smaller than that of the initial section, wherein the cross-sectional area of each coolant passage in said second condenser section is less than the cross-sectional area of each coolant passage in said first condenser section. Total cross-section of the initial section is large enough to significantly reduce the vapor velocity, which, therefore, leads to a decrease in the coolant pressure drop. Total cross-sectional area is set so that the steam velocity at the inlet is sufficient to establish the heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface, which is greater than the heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface, while limiting the drop in internal pressure for the required heat removal.
