Abstract
The convector comprises at least one finned tube bundle (7) in the tubes of which said fluid to be cooled is made to circulate and at least one fan (11) producing an air flow that strikes the outside of said finned tubes. The convector comprises an adiabatic chamber (13) through which said air flow (F1) passes, positioned upstream of the tube bundle (7), inside which water is nebulized and vaporized. The adiabatic chamber (13) is defined by side walls (5) and by at least two evaporation honeycomb fill packs (15, 17).
Claims13
A convector for cooling a fluid circulating in a pipe, comprising:
- a finned tube bundle for circulating a fluid to be cooled;
- a fan for producing an air flow such that said air flow contacts an outside surface of said finned tube bundle;
- an adiabatic chamber through which said air flow passes, said adiabatic chamber being positioned upstream of said tube bundle with respect to the air flow direction, water being nebulized inside the chamber through nebulizer nozzles, said adiabatic chamber being defined by side panels and by at least two evaporation fill packs positioned in the chamber respectively at an inlet and outlet thereof, in the direction in which the air flow passes therethrough, the air passing through said fill packs and the adiabatic chamber such that the air vaporizes the injected water by transferring thereto evaporation heat, whereby the air is cooled before passing through the tube bundle.
