Abstract
A liquid cooling apparatus having a multi-level terraced structure capped by a central cooling tower. The central cooling tower has one or more non-clogging liquid spray nozzles mounted therein for spraying the liquid in the tower while compressed air is fed into the bottom of the tower into the sprayed liquid. The liquid collects on the terraced structure which has a plurality of channels formed therein having baffles mounted to break up the flow of water as it passes over each level of the terraced structure. Flow paths on the terraced structure may also have rocks placed along the channels between the baffling members.
Claims17
A liquid cooling apparatus comprising in combination:
- a multi-level terraced structure forming a plurality of flow paths over each level thereof for the flow of a liquid from one level to the next lower level of each level of said terraced structure;
- a central tower mounted on the top level of said terraced structure;
- liquid input means connected to a source of liquid and leading into said central tower;
- at least one liquid spray head mounted in said central tower to said liquid input means for spraying liquid being fed from said liquid input means into said central tower;
- and
- air feed means for feeding air under pressure into said central tower beneath said sprayed liquid being dispersed from said liquid spray head whereby liquid entering said central tower through said liquid input means is cooled and aerated.
