Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a constant temperature and humidity air conditioning unit and a working method thereof, and in particular to a constant temperature and humidity air conditioning unit with a rapid dehumidification structure and a working method thereof, belonging to the technical field of air conditioning. Background Art

[0002] The dehumidification principle of air conditioners is that moisture in the air will condense into water when it is cooled. When the refrigerant in the air conditioner's evaporator evaporates, it absorbs a lot of heat, which greatly reduces the surface temperature of the evaporator. This causes the water vapor in the indoor air to liquefy into water when it is cooled. This condensed water will flow through the outlet pipe and be discharged outdoors, so that part of the moisture in the room air is removed in this way.

[0003] At present, the dehumidification method of constant temperature and humidity machines is full-cold refrigeration dehumidification. In this dehumidification process, the evaporation temperature of the evaporator is high and the dehumidification capacity is small, and a large amount of refrigeration capacity is used to cool the air. When the temperature is already stable, full-cold dehumidification will inevitably require a large amount of reheating electric heating to stabilize the temperature. This operation cannot provide fast dehumidification. And the use of reheating electric heating consumes a lot of energy. In conventional refrigeration operation, the latent cooling capacity of constant temperature and humidity air conditioning units for dehumidification is very low, at 20-30%, and that of computer room air conditioners is 5-9%.

[0004] The patent application with the publication number of CN 103968619 A and the application number of 2013100410196 and the invention name of "Air conditioner with rapid dehumidification" adds a heat exchanger, which is arranged on the first refrigerant passage and the second refrigerant passage, and can perform a second cooling to achieve the purpose of rapid dehumidification. The patent application of "Air conditioner with rapid dehumidification" adds a heat exchanger, which makes the overall structure complicated, increases the product volume and cost, and is not conducive to market sales competition.

The product model of the gas-liquid separator is gas-liquid separator QFQ-5.0.

[0019] A working method of a constant temperature and humidity air conditioning unit with a rapid dehumidification structure includes three working modes:

[0020] (1) Working mode 1, i.e., the working mode of using the lower half of the evaporator for rapid dehumidification: stop valve A, stop valve B, stop valve C and stop valve D are open, solenoid valve A and electronic expansion valve A are open, and solenoid valve B and electronic expansion valve B are closed;

[0021] The compressor starts, and the compressor compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas input from the compressor evaporator into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is discharged from the compressor outlet, along the refrigerant path B, and passes through the oil separator to separate the lubricating oil in the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor; the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas then passes through the stop valve A and the stop valve B, enters the heat exchanger from the heat exchanger inlet end, becomes a normal temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid, and is discharged from the heat exchanger outlet end; at the same time, the heat is discharged to the outdoor air environment through the forced convection of the outdoor heat dissipation fan;

[0022] The refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure continues to flow forward along the refrigerant path B, passes through the liquid storage tank, and makes the refrigerant have a buffering effect; then passes through the refrigeration pressure switch that can play a role in pressure control and protection, and flows forward through the stop valve C and stop valve D, flows through the dry filter, filters out impurities in the refrigerant liquid, and then flows forward to reach the diversion tee;

[0023] The normal temperature and high pressure refrigerant liquid flows downward from the flow divider tee, along the refrigerant passage D, through the solenoid valve A, and reaches the electronic expansion valve A, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid; then, the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid enters the lower evaporator, absorbs heat from the air in about 1 / 2 of the area of ​​the evaporator, and lowers the air temperature even lower, close to 0°C, and the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid becomes a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas; at the same time, the cold air is discharged into the indoor air environment through the forced convection of the indoor blower;

[0024] Since the evaporator area is small, the temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator is low, so the temperature of the air passing through the 1 / 2 evaporator used for dehumidification is lower, and more water in the air is condensed; for units with a rapid dehumidification structure, according to actual test results, about 50% is used for dehumidification according to constant temperature and humidity design data, and 40% is used for dehumidification according to computer room air conditioning. The rapid dehumidification mode can achieve the best dehumidification effect;

[0025] Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas flows from the lower part of the refrigerant connecting pipe, through the outlet end of the evaporator, along the refrigerant passage A, enters from the suction end of the compressor, and returns to the compressor; in this way, it circulates continuously to achieve the purpose of indoor cooling and rapid dehumidification;

[0026] (2) Working mode 2, i.e., the working mode of using the upper part of the evaporator for rapid dehumidification: stop valve A, stop valve B, stop valve C and stop valve D are open, solenoid valve A and electronic expansion valve A are closed, and solenoid valve B and electronic expansion valve B are open;

[0027] The refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure flows upward from the flow divider tee, along the refrigerant passage E, through the solenoid valve B, and reaches the electronic expansion valve B, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure. Then, the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure enters the upper evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the air in about 1 / 2 of the area of ​​the evaporator, lowering the air temperature even lower to close to 0°C, and the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure becomes a refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure.

[0028] Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas flows from the upper part of the refrigerant connecting pipe downward through the one-way valve to the lower part of the refrigerant connecting pipe, then passes through the outlet end of the evaporator, along the refrigerant path A, enters from the suction end of the compressor, and returns to the compressor;

[0029] Same working mode as 1;

[0030] (3) Working mode 3, using the upper and lower parts of the evaporator for full cooling and dehumidification at the same time: stop valve A, stop valve B, stop valve C and stop valve D are opened, and solenoid valve A, electronic expansion valve A, solenoid valve B and electronic expansion valve B are opened at the same time;

[0031] The normal temperature and high pressure refrigerant liquid is divided into two parts. One part of the normal temperature and high pressure refrigerant liquid flows downward from the diversion tee, along the refrigerant passage D, through the solenoid valve A, and reaches the electronic expansion valve A, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid. Then, the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid enters the lower evaporator, where the evaporator absorbs heat from the air over the entire area, lowering the air temperature. The low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid becomes a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas, and flows to the lower half of the refrigerant connecting pipe.

[0032] Another part of the refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure flows upward from the flow dividing tee, along the refrigerant passage E, through the solenoid valve B, and reaches the electronic expansion valve B, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure; then, the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure enters the upper evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the air within the entire area of ​​the evaporator to lower the air temperature; the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure becomes a refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure; then, the refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure flows downward from the upper part of the refrigerant connecting pipe through the one-way valve to the lower part of the refrigerant connecting pipe, and then mixes with the refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure that has flowed from the lower evaporator to the lower part of the refrigerant connecting pipe, and then passes through the gas outlet of the evaporator, along the refrigerant passage A, enters from the suction end of the compressor, and returns to the compressor;

[0033] In working mode 3, the temperature is reduced to the dew point of water in the air, and condensed water is crystallized on the surface of the indoor evaporator to achieve the purpose of dehumidification; at this time, the evaporator area is large, and according to the constant temperature and humidity design data, about 20-30% is used for dehumidification, and according to the computer room air conditioner, 5-10% is used for dehumidification; therefore, the dehumidification effect is very limited in the full cooling mode;

[0034] The rest is the same as working mode 1.

[0035] Rapid dehumidification uses 2 solenoid valves and 2 electronic expansion valves for shunt control. When running rapid dehumidification, 2 solenoid valves and 2 electronic expansion valves are used for shunt control. The lower half of the evaporator can also be used. The refrigerant in rapid dehumidification operates at an evaporation temperature below 0°C. If it runs in this mode for a long time, water droplets on the evaporator panel are prone to frost and ice. This structure allows the upper and lower parts of the evaporator to be used alternately, which can prevent the occurrence of frost and ice on the evaporator panel and meet the requirements of rapid dehumidification.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] (1) The structure is simple. The main components related to the refrigeration and dehumidification structure of the entire constant temperature and humidity air-conditioning unit only have a diversion tee. The evaporator is divided into two parts, the upper evaporator and the lower evaporator, through a partition. A solenoid valve and an electronic expansion valve are respectively set in front of the upper evaporator and the lower evaporator. The dual control of the solenoid valve and the electronic expansion valve is used to change the heat exchange area and reduce the evaporation temperature to achieve the purpose of rapid dehumidification.

[0038] (2) The dehumidification effect is good. The present invention adopts a rapid dehumidification structure. The latent cooling capacity of the constant temperature and humidity air-conditioning unit for dehumidification is increased from the original 20-30% to more than 50%, and the latent cooling capacity of the computer room air-conditioning is increased from the original 5-9% to more than 40%;

[0039] (3) No ice or frost will be generated. By changing the heat exchange area structure according to the dehumidification situation, the upper and lower evaporators can be used as backup and run alternately, which can effectively prevent the evaporation temperature from being too low and causing ice and frost, while meeting the requirements of rapid dehumidification.

[0061] A working method of a constant temperature and humidity air conditioning unit with a rapid dehumidification structure includes three working modes:

[0062] (1) Working mode 1, i.e., the working mode of using the lower half of the evaporator 4 for rapid dehumidification: the stop valve A12, the stop valve B13, the stop valve C14 and the stop valve D15 are opened, the solenoid valve A10 and the electronic expansion valve A301 are opened, and the solenoid valve B11 and the electronic expansion valve B302 are closed;

[0063] The compressor 1 is started, and the compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas input from the evaporator 4 of the compressor 1 into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is discharged from the compressor outlet 102, along the refrigerant path B602, and passes through the oil separator 16 to separate the lubricating oil in the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor 1; the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas then passes through the stop valve A 12 and the stop valve B 13, and enters the heat exchanger from the heat exchanger inlet end 203, and becomes a refrigerant liquid at normal temperature and high pressure, and is discharged from the heat exchanger outlet end 204; at the same time, the heat is discharged to the outdoor air environment through the forced convection of the outdoor heat dissipation fan 202;

[0064] The refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure continues to flow forward along the refrigerant passage B 602, passes through the liquid storage tank 17, so that the refrigerant has a buffering effect; then passes through the refrigeration pressure switch that can play a role in pressure control and protection, forward through the stop valve C 14 and the stop valve D 15, flows through the dry filter 18, filters out impurities in the refrigerant liquid, and then flows forward to reach the diversion tee 7;

[0065] The refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure flows downward from the flow dividing tee 7, along the refrigerant passage D 604, through the solenoid valve A 10, and reaches the electronic expansion valve A 301, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure. Then, the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure enters the lower evaporator 402, where it absorbs heat from the air in an area of ​​about 1 / 2 of the evaporator 4, lowering the air temperature even lower to close to 0°C, and the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure becomes a refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure. At the same time, the cold air is discharged into the indoor air environment through the forced convection of the indoor blower 5.

[0066] Since the area of ​​evaporator 4 is small, the temperature of the refrigerant in evaporator 4 is low, so the temperature of the air passing through 1 / 2 of evaporator 4 for dehumidification is lower, and more water in the air is condensed; for units with fast dehumidification structure, according to actual test results, about 50% is used for dehumidification according to constant temperature and humidity design data, and 40% is used for dehumidification according to computer room air conditioning. The fast dehumidification mode can achieve the best dehumidification effect;

[0067] Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas flows from the lower half of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8, through the outlet end of the evaporator 4, along the refrigerant passage A 601, enters from the compressor suction end 101, and returns to the compressor 1; in this way, the cycle continues, achieving the purpose of indoor refrigeration and rapid dehumidification;

[0068] (2) Working mode 2, i.e., the working mode of using the upper part of the evaporator 4 for rapid dehumidification: the stop valve A12, the stop valve B13, the stop valve C14 and the stop valve D15 are opened, the solenoid valve A10 and the electronic expansion valve A301 are closed, and the solenoid valve B11 and the electronic expansion valve B302 are opened;

[0069] The refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure flows upward from the flow dividing tee 7, along the refrigerant passage E 605, through the solenoid valve B 11, and reaches the electronic expansion valve B 302, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure. Then, the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure enters the upper evaporator 401, where it absorbs heat from the air in an area of ​​about 1 / 2 of the evaporator 4, lowering the air temperature even lower to close to 0°C, and the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure becomes a refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure.

[0070] Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas flows downward from the upper part of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8 through the one-way valve 9 to the lower part of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8, and then passes through the outlet end of the evaporator 4, along the refrigerant passage A 601, enters from the suction end 101 of the compressor, and returns to the compressor 1;

[0071] Same working mode as 1;

[0072] (3) Working mode 3, using the upper and lower parts of the evaporator 4 for full cooling and dehumidification at the same time: stop valve A 12, stop valve B 13, stop valve C 14 and stop valve D 15 are opened, and solenoid valve A 10, electronic expansion valve A 301, solenoid valve B 11 and electronic expansion valve B 302 are opened at the same time;

[0073] The refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure is divided into two parts. One part of the refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure flows downward from the flow dividing tee 7, along the refrigerant passage D 604, through the solenoid valve A 10, and reaches the electronic expansion valve A 301, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure. Then, the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure enters the lower evaporator 402, where the evaporator 4 absorbs heat from the air over the entire area to reduce the air temperature. The refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure becomes a refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure, and flows to the lower half of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8.

[0074] Another part of the refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure flows upward from the flow dividing tee 7, along the refrigerant passage E 605, through the solenoid valve B11, and reaches the electronic expansion valve B 302, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid; then, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid enters the upper evaporator 401, and absorbs heat from the air in the entire area of ​​the evaporator 4 to reduce the air temperature; the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas; then, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas flows downward from the upper half of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8 through the one-way valve 9 to the lower half of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8, and then mixes with the refrigerant liquid at room temperature and high pressure that has flowed from the lower evaporator 402 to the lower half of the refrigerant connecting pipe 8, and then passes through the gas outlet of the evaporator 4, along the refrigerant passage A 601, enters from the suction end 101 of the compressor, and returns to the compressor 1;

[0075] In working mode 3, the temperature is reduced to the dew point of water in the air, and condensed water is crystallized on the surface of the indoor evaporator 4 to achieve the purpose of dehumidification; at this time, the area of ​​the evaporator 4 is large, and according to the constant temperature and humidity design data, about 20-30% is used for dehumidification, and according to the computer room air conditioner, 5-10% is used for dehumidification; therefore, the dehumidification effect is very limited in the full cooling mode;

[0076] The rest is the same as working mode 1.

[0077] Since the rapid dehumidification adopts shunt control of 2 solenoid valves and 2 electronic expansion valves, when the rapid dehumidification is running, the lower part of the evaporator 4 can be used, and the upper part of the evaporator 4 can also be used; when the rapid dehumidification refrigerant is operated at an evaporation temperature below 0°C, and it runs in this mode for a long time, the water droplets on the panel of the evaporator 4 are prone to frost and ice; this structure allows the upper and lower parts of the evaporator 4 to be used alternately, which can prevent the occurrence of frost and ice on the panel of the evaporator 4, and can meet the requirements of rapid dehumidification.

One part of the normal temperature and high pressure refrigerant liquid flows downward from the diversion tee, along the refrigerant passage D, through the solenoid valve A, and reaches the electronic expansion valve A, where it is throttled and depressurized to become a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid. Then, the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant liquid enters the lower evaporator, where the evaporator absorbs heat from the air over the entire area, lowering the air temperature.
