Abstract
An air cooling device includes at least one cooling unit which includes an oblique honeycomb having front, rear, upper, and lower openings and disposed so that air to be cooled is introduced into the front opening and cooled air is discharged from the rear opening, a cooling water supply means which supplies cooling water to the upper opening of the oblique honeycomb, and a water receiving section which receives discharge water discharged from the lower opening of the oblique honeycomb, and a blower means which introduces air to be cooled into the front opening of the oblique honeycomb and allows cooled air to be discharged from the rear opening of the oblique honeycomb, wherein the height of one oblique honeycomb in the cooling unit is 200 to 800 mm. The air cooling device has high thermal efficiency, a small liquid-gas ratio, and a small pressure drop, and is capable of saving space and energy.
