Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of environmental simulation, and particularly to a large-temperature-range humidity conditioning system with a pressure water compensation circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Various products used in industrial production and daily life mostly need to be tested for stability and reliability in specific temperature and humidity environments, which cover scenarios such as winter, summer, coastal areas, jungles, and the like.

[0003] The three major mainstream methods of generating temperature and humidity do not have an automatic compensation mechanism or device for the amount of water entering the evaporation link, so a way and method of automatically compensating for the amount of water need to be found. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, at least one of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art needs to be overcome, and the present application provides a large-temperature-range humidity conditioning system with a pressure water compensation circuit, which comprises a water supply system, a pressure compensation pipeline connecting an input end of an evaporation saturation temperature control system with a pressure compensation end of the water supply system through a multi-way component and a gas-liquid sampling multi-way component, and an output end of the evaporation saturation temperature control system being communicated with a gas phase interval in a water storage tank in the water supply system through a pipeline.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present application, the water supply system comprises a water storage tank, the output end of the evaporation saturation temperature control system is connected to a pressure compensation end of the water storage tank through a pressure compensation pipeline, and is connected to the first end of the multi-way component through an output end of the water storage tank and is further connected to the input end of the evaporation saturation temperature control system to form a pressure compensation loop, and the output end of the evaporation saturation temperature control system being connected to the pressure compensation end of the water storage tank means that the output end is connected to a meteorological part in the water storage tank to form the same pressure atmosphere.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present application, a circulating power source is arranged between the multi-way component and the gas-liquid sampling multi-way component, an input end of the circulating power source is connected to the second end of the multi-way component, and an output end of the circulating power source is connected to an input end of the gas-liquid sampling multi-way component, the circulating power source is connected to the water supply system comprising the water storage tank through the first end of the multi-way component and is connected to the backwater output end of the evaporation saturation temperature control system through the second end of the multi-way component.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present application, the circulating power source is a circulating water pump, and an input port of the circulating water pump is arranged at a height lower than or equal to a lower limit water level of the water supply system.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present application, the multi-way component includes a first end in communication with the water supply system, a second end in communication with the circulating power source, and a third end in communication with the evaporative saturation temperature control system return water output, and the saturator further includes a multi-way component control system that controls the multi-way component to preferentially draw return water from the evaporative saturation temperature control system return water output section.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present application, the evaporative saturation temperature control system includes a porous medium, a thermostatic module, a gas-liquid separator associated with the porous medium, the gas-liquid mixing end of the gas-liquid sampling multi-way component is associated with the input end of the porous medium, the gas-liquid separator includes a moisture output end and a return water end, and the return water end is associated with the evaporative saturation temperature control system return water output end.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present application, the porous medium and the gas-liquid separator are disposed in the thermostatic module, and the evaporative saturation temperature control system includes a porous medium that includes an evaporation enhancement and stabilization zone.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present application, the evaporative saturation temperature control system includes a thermostatic module that is integrally formed by liquid aluminum casting of a heating tube, a porous medium evaporation zone, and a gas-liquid separator, the thermostatic module is associated with a four-way first end, the four-way second end outputs saturated moisture, the four-way third end is associated with a gas phase space in a water storage tank in the water supply system, the four-way fourth end is associated with the return water end, and the four-way is associated with a temperature measuring component that feeds back the thermostatic module. The temperature measuring component transmits the temperature of the thermostatic module to a control unit, and the control unit controls the temperature of the thermostatic module.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present application, the heating tube, the porous medium evaporation zone, and the gas-liquid separator are integrally formed by liquid aluminum casting. Due to the high thermal conductivity of aluminum, this block is used as a thermostatic module; the outlet of the thermostatic module has a stainless steel four-way that respectively leads out saturated moisture and is connected to the water storage tank for pressure compensation. The four-way has a temperature measuring thermocouple in the vertical direction to control the temperature of the thermostatic module; the circulating pump uses a peristaltic pump with a circulating flow rate of 2-30 mL / min; when the water level in the water storage tank is higher than the bottom water supplement port, the water can be automatically supplemented from the bottom.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present application, the saturator is installed in a double-stream humidity generator. At room temperature (about 26℃), the humidity fluctuation of the humidity generator output is about ±0.1% (reading, see Figure 5 ). At a temperature close to the boiling point of water (about 92℃), the humidity fluctuation is only ±1.5% (reading, see Figure 6 ), while using a common saturator, the humidity fluctuation reaches 30-50%.

[0042] At the same time, the saturator is tested at lower temperature (in a cryostat) and also has much better performance than the traditional saturator.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present application, a circulating water pump pumps water into the gas-liquid sampling tee. The flow rate of the circulating water pump must be greater than the maximum evaporation required for saturation. At the same time, dry carrier gas (usually air, but other gases can also be used) also enters the tee and mixes with the water for the first time. The resulting gas-water mixture enters the saturated evaporation zone.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present application, the saturated evaporation zone includes three parts: temperature control, evaporation, and gas-liquid separation. As shown in Figure 3 The above-mentioned gas-water mixture enters an evaporation enhancement and stabilization zone composed of porous media, achieving efficient and stable saturation. Since the amount of water in the gas-water mixture is more than the amount of water required for saturation, it needs to be further passed through a gas-liquid separator. Thus, one path produces the required saturated humidity, and the other path returns the excess water. The above-mentioned evaporation zone and gas-liquid separator are both included in a constant-temperature module. The constant-temperature module can have heating function, refrigeration function, or both, to meet the requirements of different temperature ranges.

[0045] Although the specific embodiments of the present application have been described in detail with reference to the various illustrative embodiments thereof, it must be understood that modifications and / or improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Specifically, within the scope of the foregoing disclosure, drawings, and claims, reasonable variations and improvements can be made in the arrangement of parts and / or dependent combinations without departing from the spirit of the present application; in addition to variations and improvements in parts and / or arrangement, the scope is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
