ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cooling tower, and particularly to one which has relatively good cooling effect.
Referring to
FIG. 2
, a conventional cooling tower has a tower body
10
, a water pump
20
, a tube
30
, a pipe
40
, cooling boards
50
and an electric fan
60
.
The tower body
10
has a water outlet
101
on a lower side. The water pump
20
is disposed in the tower body
10
, and is connected with a pipe (not numbered) for hot water; the tube
30
is pivotally connected to a water outlet of the water pump
20
from a lower end, and perpendicularly connected to the middle part of the pipe
40
. The pipe
40
has holes
401
on the lower side.
The electric fan
60
is disposed in an upper part of the tower part
10
. The cooling boards
50
have wave-like surfaces, and are disposed in the tower body
10
under the pipe
40
.
Hot water is pumped into the pipe
40
through the tube
30
by means of the water pump
20
to flow through the holes
401
to the cooling boards
50
; the electric fan
60
makes air blow to cool the hot water, the blowing air also makes the pipe
40
pivoted on the tube distribute the hot water. Thus, the hot water is cooled, and finally flows out through the water outlet
101
.
However, the cooling tower is found to have very limited cooling effect after same is put to use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide an improvement on the conventional cooling tower in order to have a relatively good cooling effect on water.
The cooling tower has several cooling tubes fitted to a water tank with the upper portions sticking out from the top side of the water tank. The upper portions of the cooling tubes have cooling fins fitted thereto.
A frame is disposed in the top side of the water tank. Several aerosols are fitted to an inner upper side of the frame. And, a first and a second electric fans are fitted to two sides of the frame, opposing each other such that cooling air can be sent into the frame by means of the first fan, and sent out by means of the second fan after having passed over the radiating fins.
When hot water is sent through the water tank to contact the lower portions of the cooling tubes, same is cooled down by cooling spray from the aerosols and cooling air sent into the frame with the first fan.
