Inventors: Heeren, Hermann; Richter, Dietrich;
Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nu.rnberg Aktiengesellschaft (Nuremberg, DE)
Primary Examiner: O'Connor; Daniel J.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Becker & Becker, Inc.
Lattice-type supporting structures with girders on which heat exchanger elements of rectangular or square cross section are supported. Typically air/tube dry cooling elements for cooling towers are disclosed. The heat exchanger elements are supported by stilts on the girders at a distance thereabove, with the stilts extending perpendicular to the supporting surface of girders. The stilts are mounted on girders in a manner making them immovable in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axis. The stilts have a high flexibility in bending permitting free expansion or contraction of each heat exchanger element or each heat exchanger element group with a plurality of elements combined into an integral unit under conditions of changing temperatures. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A support arrangement in combination with heat exchanger elements of dry cooling towers, said dry cooling towers including air/tube dry cooling elements of rectangular or square cross-section including vertical tubes all having air flowing unhindered therethrough as arranged directly above transverse supports and liquid flowing externally of the tubes, said arrangement comprising in combination: a plurality of girder members with at least some of said girder members having a supporting surface; and support means for vertically supporting heat exchanger elements associated therewith, said support means being operatively connected to heat exchanger elements belonging therewith and vertically unshiftably rigidly connected to girder members associated therewith, said support means extending perpendicular to supporting surfaces of girders having a supporting surface associated therewith, and said support means having a high flexibility in bending for permitting free expansion or contraction of heat exchanger elements arranged therewith wherein said support means includes stilts and wherein said plurality of girders is arranged in a lattice-type support structure, said support structure being provided at a predetermined vertical height.
2.
A cooling tower in combination according to claim 1, wherein said heat exchanger elements comprise only air/tube dry cooling elements exclusively therewith.
Description:
The present invention relates to cooling towers and, more particularly, to supporting structures for heat exchanger elements in cooling towers, especially air/tube dry cooling elements of rectangular or square cross-section.
If such heat exchanger elements were to bear directly, i.
e.
without a clearance, on the cross girders associated therewith, the cooling fluid, cooling air or cooling gas, would not flow through those flow passages which would be provided in the region where the heat exchanger elements overlap the cross girder therewith
