Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted air conditioning equipment, and in particular to an air conditioning device with high efficiency double condensers. Background Art
[0002] Special mobile vehicles are equipped with special air conditioners, which have functions such as cooling and heating, and provide a good temperature and humidity environment for the equipment and personnel in the vehicle. Due to the mobile and all-weather characteristics of special vehicles, and the generators equipped with special vehicles are often powered by oil engines, the output power of oil engines is not very large, which limits the power consumption of special air conditioners; the power provided by the oil engine also limits the starting current of special air conditioners.
[0003] High-efficiency double-condenser air conditioning devices have become the preferred solution for temperature regulation of special large-heat enclosed spaces due to their high efficiency, low starting current, low power consumption, high reliability, low cost, energy saving and many other advantages. Based on the development needs of the special high-power electronic heating equipment industry, many special high-power electronic heating equipment currently need to be temperature regulated within the full operating range, especially when the ambient temperature is high and the temperature needs to be reduced, but at the same time the power consumption of the air conditioner is limited. Based on this power requirement, how to achieve temperature regulation within the full operating temperature range and other technologies have put forward new requirements for the air conditioning system. The air conditioning system uses steam compression to achieve refrigeration. For high-power refrigeration systems, some use single refrigeration system variable frequency control to achieve low current starting and power limitation, but to achieve refrigeration within the full operating range, this type of refrigeration requires many adjustment devices, such as setting up frequency converters, condensing pressure regulating valves, and using stepless speed regulation for fans for condensation cooling. The above methods are complex to adjust and have high manufacturing costs; some use dual systems to achieve time-sharing start-up, but the dual condensers and dual fans in the dual systems are independently controlled, and the condensation and heat dissipation of the two systems are unrelated. In this way, when a single refrigeration system is turned on, the evaporation fan is shared, and the air intake of the evaporation fan is the same as that of the dual refrigeration system, resulting in a mismatch between the evaporation effect and the condensation heat dissipation effect, and the condensation air volume is only half of the original. When the ambient temperature is high, the condensation load is large and the condensation effect is poor, which can easily cause the refrigeration system to work abnormally and the compressor protection cannot refrigerate normally.

[0051] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0052] When the return air temperature is higher than the set temperature by more than +5°C, both refrigeration system A and refrigeration system B work, and the start interval of compressor A1 in refrigeration system A and compressor B9 in refrigeration system B is 10 seconds; when the return air temperature is between the set temperature by +2°C and +5°C, refrigeration system A and refrigeration system B work in turn.
[0053] The temperature sensor 22 monitors the indoor return air temperature of the air-conditioning equipment in real time and feeds back to the control unit 25. The control unit 25 automatically compares the return air temperature with the set temperature. When the return air temperature is higher than the set temperature +5°C, the compressor A1, compressor B9, axial flow fan A17, axial flow fan B18, and centrifugal fan 19 are in operation, and the refrigeration systems A and B start to work; when the return air temperature is between the set temperature +2°C and +5°C, the refrigeration system A or refrigeration system B is switched to work; when the return air temperature reaches the set temperature, the compressor A1, compressor B9, axial flow fan A17 and axial flow fan B18 stop working, and the refrigeration systems A and B stop working, and the centrifugal fan 19 continues to work for ventilation.

When the return air pressure in the refrigeration system B is low, the low pressure protector B24 is activated, and the compressor B9 stops working.
[0054] When only refrigeration system A is working, compressor A1 works to compress refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is divided into two paths, one entering condenser AⅠ2 and the other entering AⅡ3. After heat exchange with air, it is cooled into liquid and enters liquid storage A4. After passing through filter A5, it enters expansion valve A6, and becomes low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid after throttling. After heat exchange in evaporator A7, it becomes gas, passes through gas-liquid separator A8, and enters compressor A1 again. This cycle repeats. At the same time, axial flow fan A17, axial flow fan B18 and centrifugal fan 19 work continuously to force convection heat exchange and realize refrigeration.

Control unit 25 automatically compares the return air temperature with the set temperature. When the return air temperature reaches the set temperature, compressor A1, axial flow fan A17 and axial flow fan B18 stop working, refrigeration system A stops working, and centrifugal fan 19 continues to work for ventilation.
[0055] When only refrigeration system B is working, compressor B9 works to compress the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is divided into two paths, one entering condenser BⅠ10 and the other entering BⅡ11. After heat exchange with air, it is cooled into liquid and enters liquid storage B12. After passing through filter B13, it enters expansion valve B14, and becomes low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid after throttling. After heat exchange in evaporator B15, it becomes gas, passes through gas-liquid separator B16, and enters compressor B9 again. This cycle repeats. At the same time, axial flow fan A17, axial flow fan B18 and centrifugal fan 19 continue to work to force convection heat exchange to achieve refrigeration. Temperature sensor B22 monitors the temperature of the indoor return air of the air-conditioning equipment in real time and feeds it back to control unit 25. Control unit 25 automatically compares the return air temperature with the set temperature. When the return air temperature reaches the set temperature, compressor B9, axial flow fan A17 and axial flow fan B18 stop working, refrigeration system B stops working, and centrifugal fan 19 continues to work for ventilation.
