Abstract
Disclosed is a hybrid type cooling tower. The cooling tower includes a water distributing device for distributing cooling water of a high temperature, a counterflow type filler through which the cooling water distributed from the water distributing device flows downward, an eliminator for preventing drift of the cooling air, louvers which serve as passages for allowing inflow of outside air, a fan for forcibly circulating the outside air through the cooling tower and discharging air to the outside, which air undergone heat exchange with the cooling water, and a water tank for collecting the cooling water which is chilled while flowing downward through the counterflow type filler. In the present invention, a crossflow type filler is disposed inside the louvers and under the counterflow type filler.
Claims19
A hybrid type cooling tower including a water distributing device for distributing water of a high temperature, counterflow type fillers through which the water distributed from the water distributing device flows downward, a first eliminator for preventing drift of the water, louvers serving as passages for allowing inflow of outside air, a fan for forcibly circulating the outside air through the cooling tower and discharging air having undergone heat exchange with the water, to the outside, and a lower water tank for collecting the water which is cooled while flowing downward through the counterflow type fillers, characterized in that the hybrid type cooling tower further includes crossflow type fillers disposed inward of the louvers and below the counterflow type fillers, wherein the crossflow type filler has a plurality of mountain-shaped contours each of which comprises rightward inclined parts and leftward inclined parts which are alternately and integrally connected with each other in such a way as to define a zigzag pattern, with each leftward inclined part having a length different than each rightward inclined part, to form longer inclined parts and shorter inclined parts, at least one of the shorter inclined parts of each mountain-shaped contour being formed with pyramid-shaped portions.
