Technical Principle & Verification

Inlet water is changed from conventional external piping to axisymmetric in-tower inlet — prefabricated constant-pressure water troughs plus a low-resistance, anti-siphon hydraulic-balancing internal inlet system, with multi-level variable-flow nozzles of different types arranged in the distribution basin to keep even water distribution at partial load. At the Guangzhou Tianhe Park high-efficiency plant project (PL-32463C×4), the measured cumulative average COP of the plant reached 5.84.

Applications: PL Series cooling towers for high-efficiency plants and the cross-flow open circuit series

Permanent Magnet Direct Drive Technology

High-torque permanent magnet synchronous direct drive motors replace conventional "motor + gearbox/belt" transmission — maintenance-free and highly efficient.

Maintenance-free
No gearbox/belt maintenance

Technical Principle & Verification

The permanent magnet synchronous motor drives the fan directly, eliminating mechanical losses in intermediate transmission. Combined with variable-frequency control, it automatically adjusts fan speed based on real-time thermal load, with particularly notable savings at partial load. The cooling towers at Shenzhen Metro Nanshan Book City Station use permanent magnet motors, helping this high-efficiency air-conditioning plant demonstration station enter the COP 5.0 era; all cross-flow towers of Shenzhen Metro Phase IV are equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors.

Applications: PL Series (optional), PL-C-ZN Smart Cooling Tower, Digital Twin Smart Cooling Tower

Technical Principle & Verification

LANXUN participated in drafting the association standard "Plume Abatement and Water-saving Mechanical Draft Cooling Towers" (T/CGMA 1001-2021). Plume abatement index >100% (design point: dry-bulb 5°C, RH 85%); the HRN condensing module achieves a 16% annual water-saving rate (a 1000m³/h tower saves about 19,200m³ per year); the gas-liquid wall heat exchange coefficient is 30 times higher than gas-gas heat exchange.

Overall energy saving

Technical Principle & Verification

As air passes through the adiabatic pad (wet curtain), water evaporation absorbs the air's sensible heat, lowering the dry-bulb temperature at constant total enthalpy and further reducing the cooling tower inlet water temperature. Optional wet-film or atomizing devices provide adiabatic cooling, with no refrigerant and a wide operating range from -30°C to 50°C. As a pre-cooling module for conventional data center air conditioning, it helps achieve PUE <1.25. Certified by EU CE and US CTI, it is a high-tech product.

Applications: LAD Series isenthalpic adiabatic cooling units
