Question: Can the compressor cooler be cooled by surface spraying?
Thread Content
Dear experts, it’s hot now and the cooling effect isn’t good. Can we simply spray water on the surface of the cooler to lower its temperature? Has anyone tried this before? Please give your advice
We have implemented it here. The effect is pretty good. However, proper water drainage is necessary.
The performance probably won’t be very good (the heat transfer effect is poor), and it’s a waste of water. Is the temperature of the air coming out of the air-cooled tower very high? Consider adding a cold water group
Yes, it’s best to use deep well water, as its low temperature results in an excellent cooling effect – it can lower the temperature by 3–5 degrees. Moreover, the water that is sprayed can be collected and reused in sinks.
The effect is likely to be poor, and it’s a waste of water; in such cases it’s better to find ways to lower the water temperature, for example by adding some polluted nitrogen to the water. Of course, many factories operate in this way, just like Liuhua.
We used to use a method where we wrapped a layer of cotton yarn around the cooler and then poured water on it; this gave better results than just pouring water directly. If possible, adding a cooler will yield better results.
Increasing the number of cooling towers could be considered, but in my opinion it won’t have a significant effect on reducing the temperature of the cooling tower surfaces, as the heat exchange efficiency at those surfaces is not optimal
It is considered a viable method; it is recommended to use condensate water, which might work better in the south where there is more condensate water available
This method is good. However, the surface temperature of the air compressor cooler is very high; if I spray it with cold water, will that create stress that affects the structure of the cooler?
Could you take a photo of it worn on, so everyone can see if there are any improvements needed?
I think we should try to find ways to lower the temperature of the circulating water in order to improve the cooling effect; the method of using surface spraying for cooling isn’t very effective. Personal opinion.
