Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioning equipment, in particular to a one-for-one-standby air conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] Special equipment is equipped with special air conditioners, which have functions such as cooling and heating, and provide a good temperature and humidity environment for special equipment. Since special equipment not only generates a large amount of heat and has large wind resistance, but also requires reliable operation around the clock, in order to work reliably around the clock, special equipment adopts a one-in-one-standby mode. Therefore, the air conditioning device that adjusts the temperature and humidity environment for special equipment is also required to be one-in-one-standby. Based on this one-in-one-standby temperature and humidity adjustment requirement for the enclosed heating space of special equipment, how to achieve cooling of any group of special equipment with one-in-one-standby regardless of which group of refrigeration systems is turned on. New requirements are put forward for the air conditioning system. The air conditioning system adopts steam compression to achieve refrigeration, electric heating for heating, and air supply through the air duct to adjust the temperature and humidity of the one-in-one-standby load. Usually when a refrigeration system is turned on, the air supply passes through two loads, one for use and one for backup. When passing through the working load, the temperature and humidity of the load are adjusted. When passing through the backup load, no heat exchange occurs because the load itself does not work and generate heat. Since the air passes through two loads, the air supply resistance increases and the return air temperature is lower, resulting in the air conditioning device requiring the air supply fan to have a high air pressure and a large air volume. In addition, the shared load will also increase. Therefore, the above method has defects such as high noise, high cooling cost, and high power consumption. Summary of the invention

[0021] The condensing ventilation system includes an axial flow fan A15 for condenser A2 in refrigeration system A and an axial flow fan B16 for condenser B9 in refrigeration system B.

[0022] The air supply system includes a coupling structure formed by coupling evaporator A6 and evaporator B13.

[0032] The fluorine filling nozzle A25 is connected to the pipeline between the gas-liquid separator A7 and the compressor A1 through a bypass.

[0033] The fluorine filling nozzle B26 is connected to the pipeline between the gas-liquid separator B14 and the compressor B8 through a bypass.

[0034] A temperature sensor 26 is provided at the air inlet after the evaporator A6 and the evaporator B13 are coupled.

[0035] A low-pressure protector A28 is provided between the gas-liquid separator A7 and the compressor A1, and a low-pressure protector B29 is provided between the gas-liquid separator B14 and the compressor B8.

[0036] The damper A20 and the corresponding load A22 are opened synchronously, and the damper B21 and the corresponding load B23 are opened synchronously.

[0037] The control unit can output a 0-10V control signal to the electronic expansion valve A5 and the electronic expansion valve B12.

[0038] After the air conditioner is powered on, it enters full automatic operation and automatically selects the working mode of the air conditioner according to the temperature difference; the corresponding working mode can be selected through the mode button.

[0039] When load A22 (or load B23) is working, the control unit controls the corresponding damper A20 (or damper B21) to open, and at this time, refrigeration system A or refrigeration system B is turned on.

[0040] When the refrigeration system A is working, the compressor A1 compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which enters the condenser A2 for heat exchange with the forced convection air and is cooled into liquid. It enters the liquid storage A3 through the filter A4 and the electronic expansion valve A5. After throttling, it becomes low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid. It enters the evaporator A6 for heat exchange and becomes gas. It passes through the gas-liquid separator A7 and enters the compressor A1 again. This cycle repeats. At the same time, the axial flow fan A15 and the centrifugal fan A18 (or the centrifugal fan B19) work continuously to force convection heat exchange to achieve refrigeration.

[0041] When the refrigeration system B is working, the compressor B8 compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which enters the condenser B9 to exchange heat with the forced convection air and is then cooled into liquid and enters the liquid storage tank B10. After passing through the filter B11, it enters the electronic expansion valve B12 and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid after throttling. After entering the evaporator B13 for heat exchange, it becomes gas, passes through the gas-liquid separator B14, and enters the compressor B8 again. This cycle repeats. At the same time, the axial flow fan B16 and the centrifugal fan A18 (or the centrifugal fan B19) continuously work to force convection heat exchange to achieve refrigeration.

[0042] When heating, the electric heating tube 17 works, and the centrifugal fan A18 (or centrifugal fan B19) works continuously to force convection heat exchange to achieve heating.

[0043] When the centrifugal fan A18 is working, the air from the centrifugal fan A18 enters the damper A20 (or damper B21) through the air duct, and then enters the centrifugal fan A18 again after heat exchange with the working load A22 (or load B23) and the coupled evaporator through the air duct, so as to adjust the temperature and humidity of the working load A22 (or load B23).

[0044] When the centrifugal fan B19 is working, the air from the centrifugal fan B19 enters the damper A20 (or damper B21) through the air duct, and then enters the centrifugal fan A19 again after heat exchange with the working load A22 (or load B23) and the coupled evaporator through the air duct, so as to adjust the temperature and humidity of the working load A22 (or load B23).

[0045] The temperature sensor 27 monitors the temperature (T) of the indoor return air of the air conditioning equipment in real time and feeds it back to the control unit 24. The control unit 24 automatically compares the return air temperature with the set temperature (T0). When the return air temperature reaches the set temperature, the compressor A1 (or compressor B8) stops working, the refrigeration system A (refrigeration system B) stops working, and the centrifugal fan A18 (or centrifugal fan B19) continues to work for ventilation. When the return air pressure in the refrigeration system is low, the low pressure protector A28 (or low pressure protector B29) is activated, and the compressor A1 (or compressor B8) stops working.

[0046] When T≥T0+4°C, a 10V control signal is output to the electronic expansion valve A5 (or electronic expansion valve B12).

[0047] When T0+4℃>T≥T0+2℃, an 8V control signal is output to the electronic expansion valve A5 (or electronic expansion valve B12).

[0048] When T0+2℃>T≥T0, a 6V control signal is output to the electronic expansion valve A5 (or electronic expansion valve B12).

[0049] When T0>T≥T0-1℃, a 3V control signal is output to the electronic expansion valve A5 (or electronic expansion valve B12).

[0050] The embodiments described in the present invention are merely descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by engineers and technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
