The invention provides a refrigerating unit and a control method thereof, the refrigerating unit comprises a compressor, a condenser and an air cooler, the air cooler is a double-coil air cooler and comprises a refrigerating coil and a dehumidifying coil, an
exhaust pipe of the compressor is divided into three branches, the three branches comprise a refrigerating exhaust pipeline, an inlet is provided with a refrigerating
electromagnetic valve, and an outlet is provided with a one-way valve; wherein the condenser is connected; an inlet of the heating and dehumidifying exhaust pipeline is provided with a dehumidifying
electromagnetic valve, an outlet of the heating and dehumidifying exhaust pipeline is connected to an inlet of the dehumidifying coil
pipe, an outlet of the dehumidifying coil
pipe is connected to an inlet of the heating and dehumidifying liquid return pipeline, and an outlet of the heating and dehumidifying liquid return pipeline is provided with a one-way valve; an inlet of the
defrosting exhaust pipeline is provided with a
defrosting electromagnetic valve, and an outlet is provided with a one-way valve; an outlet of the
refrigeration exhaust pipeline and an outlet of the heating and dehumidifying liquid return pipeline are connected to an inlet of the liquid supply pipeline, an outlet of the liquid supply pipeline is connected to an inlet of the
refrigeration coil, and an outlet of the
refrigeration coil is connected to a first inlet of the compressor through an air return pipeline. According to the refrigerating unit provided by the invention, one set of refrigerating and condensing unit can meet the temperature and
humidity double-index requirements, the combined operation of the refrigerating unit and a rotary dehumidifier is not needed, and the initial investment is reduced; a
refrigerant defrosting method is adopted, the defects of
high energy consumption and large warehouse temperature fluctuation caused by traditional electric defrosting are overcome, and energy-saving operation and low warehouse temperature fluctuation of the
cold storage are achieved.
