The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator is in the state of gas; after adiabatic compression by the compressor, it becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The compressed gas refrigerant is isobarically cooled and condensed in the condenser, and changes into liquid refrigerant after condensation. The gas refrigerant re-enters the compressor through the pipeline and starts a new cycle. This is the process of the refrigeration cycle, which is also the main working principle of the screw chiller.

It timely dissipates the heat of the internal components of the air-cooled screw chiller by turning on the blower to improve the working efficiency of the air-cooled screw chiller.
[0004] However, in the implementation of relevant technologies, it was found that the above-designed high-efficiency air-cooled screw chiller has the following problems: in the above-mentioned technical solution, the internal components of the air-cooled screw chiller are promptly cooled by turning on the hair dryer to improve the working efficiency of the air-cooled screw chiller, but the cooling effect of the medium inside the pipeline by wind blowing is poor. Since the contact area between the pipeline and the air is small, the wind blowing effect is reduced. In view of this, an air-cooled screw chiller is provided to overcome the above-mentioned defects.

[0023] As a further implementation scheme of the above technical scheme: a fixing plate 10 is fixed inside the lower fixing frame 1, and an evaporator 11 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 10. The fixing plate 10 arranged on the lower fixing frame 1 can enhance the strength of the unit.
[0024] As a further implementation scheme of the above technical scheme: one side of the evaporator 11 is connected to the screw compressor 12 through a pipeline, and the output end of the screw compressor 12 is connected to the condenser 13 through a pipeline. Through the evaporator 11 set on the fixed plate 10, the medium in the evaporator 11 enters the screw compressor 12 through the pipeline to compress the medium.
[0025] As a further implementation scheme of the above technical scheme: one side of the condenser 13 is connected to a connecting flange pipe 14, and the connecting flange pipe 14 and the fixed flange pipe 9 are bolted together, so that the compressed medium enters the condenser 13, and the connecting flange pipe 14 and the fixed flange pipe 9 are fixed with bolts, so that the medium enters the circulation pipe 8 for cooling.
[0026] In specific implementation, before using the air-cooled screw chiller, the lower fixing frame 1 is first placed in a suitable position. When in use, the medium in the evaporator 11 is passed through the evaporator 11 arranged on the fixing plate 10, and enters the screw compressor 12 through the pipeline, thereby compressing the medium. The compressed medium enters the condenser 13, and the connecting flange pipe 14 and the fixed flange pipe 9 are fixed with bolts, so that the medium enters the circulation pipe 8 for cooling. Since the circulation pipe 8 is sleeved with a heat-conducting copper pipe 7, the heat-conducting copper pipe 7 can absorb the heat of the medium in the circulation pipe 8, and then transfer the heat to the heat sink 6.

By unscrewing the protective cover 21 on the liquid filling port 19 or the liquid outlet 20, the medium can be added or discharged and replaced, which is convenient for use.
[0030] During specific implementation, by continuously entering the medium into the circulation pipe 8, the medium passes through the reflux flange pipe 15 at the other end of the circulation pipe 8 and re-enters the evaporator 11 for circulation. By unscrewing the fixing bolts 17 on the sealing cover 16, the fixing of the sealing cover 16 can be released, and the parts inside the evaporator 11 can be maintained. The set liquid level sensor 18 can detect the medium capacity inside the evaporator 11. When it is detected that the medium is less, the liquid level sensor 18 sends a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the alarm to sound an alarm to remind the staff to add medium. By unscrewing the protective cover 21 on the liquid filling port 19 or the liquid outlet 20, the medium can be added or discharged and replaced, which is convenient for use.
