Description

A ventilation and air conditioning system for public areas with computer rooms located in the middle of subway stations. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology for subway stations, specifically a ventilation and air conditioning system for public areas in subway stations with the machine room located in the middle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the environmental control room and ventilation shafts of the subway stations are located at the left and right ends of the station, respectively, at the ends of the equipment areas at the large and small track levels. Each environmental control room at both ends is equipped with one combined air conditioner, one return / exhaust fan, and one smoke exhaust fan to serve the public areas, and other air conditioners and fans to serve the equipment management rooms at their respective ends. The refrigeration room is located near the load center, generally in the large-end equipment area. Exhaust ducts are located at both ends, with one exhaust fan at each end, responsible for exhausting half of the exhaust air for the left and right tracks, as well as smoke exhaust from the track area.

[0003] The ventilation and air conditioning equipment in the public area and the ventilation and air conditioning equipment in the equipment management room share a common room. There is a significant difference in length between the combined air conditioners in the public area and those in the equipment management room. According to market comparisons, the combined air conditioners in the public area are 2-3 times longer than those in the equipment management room. Designing the longitudinal length of the room based on the combined air conditioners in the public area leads to insufficient utilization of the longitudinal space where the air conditioners and fans in the equipment management room are located, resulting in wasted room space. Air ducts at the large end of the equipment area need to cross the equipment area to reach the public area, resulting in long duct distances, high energy consumption, and problems such as dense, congested pipelines and inconvenient maintenance in the large end equipment area. The refrigeration room is located at the large end of the equipment area, and chilled water pipes need to cross the entire length of the station to connect to the air conditioners at the small end of the equipment area, resulting in long water pipe distances and high energy consumption. The separate placement of fresh air shafts and exhaust shafts at both ends impacts land acquisition and the ground landscape. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example:

[0024] As shown in Figures 1-2, this embodiment of the invention provides a ventilation and air conditioning system for a public area where the equipment room is located in the middle of a subway station. The system is configured for a three-level underground subway station with the first underground level being the concourse level, the second underground level being the equipment level, and the third underground level being the platform level. A fresh air shaft 1 and an exhaust air shaft 2 are provided in the middle of the subway station. The fresh air shaft 1 and the exhaust air shaft 2 are configured to provide air intake and exhaust for the entire station.

[0025] A public area environmental control room is located in the central auxiliary area of ​​the station hall. Inside the room are two combined air conditioners 4, one return / exhaust fan 5, and one smoke exhaust fan 6, serving the public area's ventilation and air conditioning system. The air inlet ducts of the combined air conditioners 4 are all connected to a mixing box 3, and the air inlet of the mixing box 3 is connected to a fresh air shaft 1. The air outlet ducts of the combined air conditioners 4 are all connected to a supply air box 7. The return / exhaust fan 5 and the smoke exhaust fan 6 are connected in parallel.

The supply air duct and the return exhaust duct that also serves as an exhaust duct enter the public area directly from the environmental control room and are laid from the middle of the public area to both ends.

[0026] The equipment floor is equipped with a refrigeration room, an equipment management room, an environmental control room, and an equipment floor exhaust duct 14. The chilled water pipes of the refrigeration room are connected to the combined air conditioner in the public area environmental control room in the middle of the station and the air conditioner in the equipment management room environmental control room. An exhaust fan 16 is installed in the equipment floor exhaust duct 14. The air intake of the exhaust fan 16 is directly opposite the exhaust air hole and exhausts air to the exhaust duct. It is responsible for the exhaust air on the rail top of the left and right tracks and the smoke exhaust in the track area. The exhaust air and the exhaust air share the exhaust shaft 2.

[0027] The platform level rail top is provided with a platform level heat exhaust duct 15, and the platform level heat exhaust duct 15 has heat exhaust vents in the middle of the station leading to the equipment level heat exhaust duct 14.

[0028] By centrally locating the environmental control room, refrigeration room, fresh air shaft 1, and exhaust air shaft 2 in the middle of the station, the number of fresh air ducts and ground-level air shafts is reduced compared to the conventional arrangement of stations at both ends. This simplifies the layout of large system equipment, reduces the area of ​​the environmental control room, and lowers the civil engineering construction cost.

[0029] The air supply ducts include the platform public area air supply duct 9 and the station hall public area air supply duct 11.

[0030] The return ventilation duct and smoke exhaust duct include 10, which is the return ventilation duct and smoke exhaust duct in the platform public area, and 12, which is the return ventilation duct and smoke exhaust duct in the station hall public area.

[0031] The exhaust fans and chiller room are located in the central auxiliary area of ​​the station concourse. The exhaust fans, located in the central auxiliary area of ​​the station concourse, require the exhaust vents on the equipment floor to be moved to the auxiliary location before being connected to the intake end of the exhaust fans on the station concourse floor. The chilled water pipes from the chiller room are connected nearby to the combined air conditioners in the public area of ​​the station concourse and the air conditioners in the equipment management room on the equipment floor.

[0034] The combined air conditioner 4 consists of two units, each operating independently. The air supply boxes 7 of the combined air conditioner 4 are connected by air ducts equipped with electric air valves 13. The combined air conditioner 4 is configured to be mutually redundant by opening the electric air valves 13.

[0035] The combined air conditioner 4 and the air conditioner in the equipment management room have significantly different lengths. Separating the environmental control room in the public area from the environmental control room in the equipment management room allows for full utilization of the room space. The chiller room houses chiller units, chilled water pumps, cooling water pumps, and other cooling source equipment. It can be shared with either the environmental control room in the equipment management room or the environmental control room in the public area. Chilled water pipes are connected to the combined air conditioner 4 and the air conditioner in the equipment management room, both located in the central room, without needing to cross equipment or public areas.

[0036] By shortening the service radius of air ducts and water pipes, the initial investment in ventilation and air conditioning systems is reduced, energy consumption during transmission is lowered, and system energy efficiency is improved.

[0037] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
