Evaporative Chiller Using Plate Type String-Screen-Fills as Heat Exchanger and Fabrication Thereof

Abstract

The present invention involves an evaporative chiller using a plate type string-screen-fill heat exchanger which is formed of a multiplicity of plate type string-screen-fills with string screens on their both sides. The hot water sprayed on the top perforated plate of the heat exchanger is imbibed into holes on the top plate by surface tension of strings suspending over the holes and then flows down on the surface of strings. During its flowing down on the surface of strings, the water is cooled through evaporation and convection mechanisms of water by contacting with air traveling transversely or slantly through the strings by means of a forced draft. The construction cost and electric consumption saving of the present invention are less than half cost of the current chiller and more than 30%, respectively. The fabrication method of the plate string-screen-fill heat exchanger is described in the present invention.
