Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of indirect evaporative cooling unit control, and particularly relates to an indirect evaporative cooling unit with fresh air humidification and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the demand for green energy saving and the huge energy consumption of data centers, the traditional data center refrigeration system generally uses a water chiller for refrigeration. The cold water system is very complex and has many fault points, and operation and maintenance are difficult. Therefore, data centers gradually begin to use indirect evaporative cooling units for refrigeration. The indirect evaporative cooling unit only cools outdoor fresh air by spraying water, and then exchanges heat with indoor return air to cool the indoor return air and send it to the indoor.
[0003] However, the indirect evaporative cooling unit has the following problems. First, the indirect evaporative cooling unit only circulates indoor air to meet the cooling demand of the machine room. The fresh air demand of the indoor machine room needs to be separately deployed with a fresh air unit to meet the fresh air demand, health demand, and positive pressure requirement of the indoor machine room. The separate deployment of the fresh air unit also requires the deployment of corresponding pipelines. Thus, the separate deployment of the fresh air unit not only increases the refrigeration energy consumption and operating costs, but also increases the land occupation and construction costs due to the increase in pipelines. Second, the indirect evaporative cooling unit does not have a humidity adjustment function and can only meet the temperature demand of the machine room but cannot meet the humidity requirement. Thus, the humidity in summer is too high and exceeds the humidity requirement of the machine room, and the humidity in winter is too low and cannot meet the humidity requirement of the machine room, which affects the safe operation of the server in the machine room. If a dehumidification and humidification machine is separately configured in the machine room, the investment cost is increased, and the dehumidification and humidification machine consumes a large amount of energy. Third, due to the high temperature in summer and the efficiency problem of the air-to-air heat exchanger, the cooling of the return air to the required supply air temperature cannot be achieved by only exchanging heat between the fresh air sprayed with water and the indoor return air.

[0060] The following examples illustrate this in detail.
[0061] To meet indoor fresh air requirements and achieve temperature and humidity regulation, this embodiment provides an indirect evaporative cooling unit with fresh air humidity control, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the indirect evaporative cooling unit specifically includes: a shell 1, an air-to-air heat exchanger 2 disposed within the shell, a spray chamber 3, and a mixing chamber 4; wherein, the air-to-air heat exchanger is connected to the spray chamber, the mixing chamber, the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit respectively, and the spray chamber is connected to the mixing chamber and the outdoor unit respectively; the spray chamber is used to regulate the humidity and temperature of the outdoor fresh air, the air-to-air heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between the outdoor fresh air and the indoor return air, and the mixing chamber is used to mix the outdoor fresh air and the indoor return air.

[0064] In the prior art, the air-to-air heat exchanger and the spraying chamber cannot realize the complete cooling of the return air to the required supply air temperature, and the compressor needs to be started to compress air for refrigeration. This method has high energy consumption. In order to effectively reduce the operation time of the compressor, reduce the energy consumption of the compression refrigeration, improve the operation efficiency of the system, and meet the supply air temperature requirement, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 In an embodiment, the indirect evaporative cooling unit further comprises: a compressor 5, a four-way reversing valve 6, an expansion valve 7 arranged in the shell, and a second heat exchange coil 8 arranged between the air-to-air heat exchanger and the mixing chamber.

The change of the spraying water temperature realizes the cooling and dehumidification and the heating and humidification of the second outdoor fresh air after spraying, and the treated first indoor return air and the second outdoor fresh air after spraying are mixed to meet the requirements of the indoor supply air temperature and humidity.
[0066] (1) In summer, if the treated first indoor return air cannot meet the indoor temperature requirement or the treated first indoor return air and the second outdoor fresh air after spraying cannot meet the indoor temperature and humidity requirement, the compressor is started, and the four-way reversing valve is adjusted, so that the first heat exchange coil is used as a refrigeration coil (evaporator) to cool the water temperature, and then the second outdoor fresh air is cooled and dehumidified after spraying, and the treated first indoor return air and the second outdoor fresh air after spraying are mixed to meet the requirements of the indoor supply air temperature and humidity and the fresh air requirement.

The indirect evaporative cooling unit control device includes but is not limited to a server, which can be the above-mentioned controller, as shown in Figure 6 , the method specifically includes the following contents:
[0070] Step 101: The first outdoor fresh air is sent into the spraying chamber, the current working condition is obtained, and it is determined whether the current working condition belongs to the preset summer working condition. If yes, the spraying chamber sprays the first outdoor fresh air, and after monitoring that the first outdoor fresh air meets the preset first temperature and humidity condition, the sprayed first outdoor fresh air is transmitted to the air-air heat exchanger.
[0071] Specifically, the second temperature acquisition device and the second humidity acquisition device arranged in the spraying chamber can be used to acquire the temperature and humidity of the first outdoor fresh air, and whether the first outdoor fresh air meets the preset first temperature and humidity condition is monitored according to the temperature and humidity of the first outdoor fresh air.
[0072] Step 102: The first indoor return air is sent into the air-air heat exchanger to exchange heat with the first outdoor fresh air. If it is monitored that the first indoor return air after heat exchange meets the temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the preset summer working condition, the first indoor return air is transmitted to the mixing chamber, and the first outdoor fresh air is discharged outdoors.
[0073] Specifically, the first temperature collecting device and the first humidity collecting device arranged in the air-to-air heat exchanger can be used to collect the temperature and humidity of the first indoor return air after heat exchange, and whether the first indoor return air after heat exchange meets the preset temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the summer working condition can be monitored.
[0074] Step 103: The second outdoor fresh air is sent into the spraying chamber, the spraying chamber is controlled to spray the second outdoor fresh air, and after the sprayed second outdoor fresh air meets the preset second temperature and humidity condition, the sprayed second outdoor fresh air is transmitted to the mixing chamber.
[0075] Step 104: The second outdoor fresh air and the first indoor return air are mixed in the mixing chamber and then sent into the indoor.
[0076] Specifically, the indoor can represent an indoor of a computer room, and the outdoor represents an outdoor of the computer room; the current working condition can include a current date and temperature information, and the preset summer working condition can include a preset summer date range and a preset temperature range; the preset summer working condition, the preset first temperature and humidity condition, the temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the preset summer working condition, and the preset second temperature and humidity condition can be set according to actual conditions, and the application does not limit this. The temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the preset summer working condition and the preset second temperature and humidity condition can be the same, for example, the temperature is set to 25 degrees Celsius, and the relative humidity is 65%. The outdoor fresh air can be continuously sent into the spraying chamber, and when it is monitored and determined that the indoor return air after heat exchange meets the temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the preset summer working condition, the outdoor fresh air currently sent into the spraying chamber is determined as the second outdoor fresh air, and the previous outdoor fresh air is determined as the first outdoor fresh air.
[0077] In order to make the air entering the indoor via the indirect evaporative cooling unit meet the supply air temperature requirement, in an embodiment, after the first indoor return air is sent into the air-to-air heat exchanger to exchange heat with the first outdoor fresh air in step 102, the method further includes:
[0078] Step 201: If it is monitored and determined that the first indoor return air after heat exchange does not meet the temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the preset summer working condition, the first indoor return air is transmitted to the mixing chamber, and the first outdoor fresh air is discharged outdoors.
[0079] Step 202: The second outdoor fresh air is sent into the spraying chamber, the spraying chamber is controlled to spray the second outdoor fresh air, and after it is monitored and determined that the sprayed second outdoor fresh air meets a preset third temperature and humidity condition, the sprayed second outdoor fresh air is transmitted to the mixing chamber.
[0080] Step 203: The second outdoor fresh air and the first indoor return air are mixed in the mixing chamber and then sent into the indoor.
[0081] Specifically, the third temperature and humidity condition can be set according to actual conditions, and the present application does not limit this. The temperature condition in the preset third temperature and humidity condition is lower than the temperature condition corresponding to the preset summer operating condition, and the humidity condition is lower than the humidity condition corresponding to the preset summer operating condition. If it is determined through monitoring that the temperature and humidity of the first indoor return air after heat exchange are both higher than the temperature and humidity conditions corresponding to the preset summer operating condition, it is determined that the first indoor return air after heat exchange does not meet the temperature and humidity conditions corresponding to the preset summer operating condition; if it is determined through monitoring that the temperature and humidity of the second outdoor fresh air are both lower than the preset third temperature and humidity condition, it is determined that the second outdoor fresh air meets the preset third temperature and humidity condition.
[0082] In order to effectively reduce the compressor operating time and reduce the compression refrigeration energy consumption and improve the system operating efficiency on the basis of meeting the indoor supply air temperature, as shown in the present application, in one embodiment of the present application, the step 202 controls the spraying of the second outdoor fresh air in the spraying chamber, and after it is determined through monitoring that the second outdoor fresh air meets the preset third temperature and humidity condition, the second outdoor fresh air after spraying is transmitted to the mixing chamber, which includes: Figure 7
[0083] Step 301: Control the compressor to start, compress the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, enter the first heat exchange coil after heat exchange via the four-way reversing valve, the first heat exchange coil is cooled and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid, the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid is converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid via the expansion valve, the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid enters the second heat exchange coil to be converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, enters the compressor, and is used to cool the liquid in the water pan after the first heat exchange coil is cooled, and the liquid after cooling is used to spray the second outdoor fresh air.
[0084] Step 302: After it is determined through monitoring that the second outdoor fresh air meets the preset third temperature and humidity condition, the second outdoor fresh air after spraying is transmitted to the mixing chamber.
[0085] Specifically, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, enters the heat exchange coil after heat exchange via the four-way reversing valve, becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid after the expansion valve, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas after heat exchange in the heat exchange coil, and finally enters the compressor to complete the cycle. The four-way reversing valve can make the heat exchange coil be a condenser or an evaporator.
[0086] In order to improve the reliability of the indirect evaporative cooling unit control in winter and further meet the indoor fresh air demand and realize temperature and humidity regulation, in one embodiment of the present application, after the current operating condition is obtained in step 100, it further includes:
[0087] Step 401: judging whether the current working condition is a preset winter working condition, if yes, transmitting the first outdoor fresh air to the air-air heat exchanger.
[0088] Step 402: sending the first indoor return air into the air-air heat exchanger to exchange heat with the first outdoor fresh air, if the monitored first indoor return air after heat exchange meets the preset temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the winter working condition, transmitting the first indoor return air to the mixing chamber, and discharging the first outdoor fresh air outdoors.
[0089] Step 403: sending the second outdoor fresh air into the spraying chamber, controlling the spraying chamber to spray the second outdoor fresh air, and transmitting the sprayed second outdoor fresh air to the mixing chamber after monitoring that the second outdoor fresh air meets a preset fourth temperature and humidity condition.
[0090] Step 404: sending the second outdoor fresh air and the first indoor return air mixed in the mixing chamber into the indoor.
[0091] Specifically, the preset winter working condition can include a preset winter date range and a preset winter temperature range; the preset winter working condition, the preset temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the winter working condition, and the preset fourth temperature and humidity condition can be set according to actual conditions, and the application does not limit this. The preset temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the winter working condition can be the same as the preset fourth temperature and humidity condition.

[0093] Step 501: if the monitored first indoor return air after heat exchange does not meet the preset temperature and humidity condition corresponding to the winter working condition, transmitting the first indoor return air to the mixing chamber, and discharging the first outdoor fresh air outdoors.
[0094] Step 502: sending the second outdoor fresh air into the spraying chamber, controlling the spraying chamber to spray the second outdoor fresh air, and transmitting the sprayed second outdoor fresh air to the mixing chamber after monitoring that the second outdoor fresh air meets a preset fifth temperature and humidity condition.

In addition, according to the indoor positive pressure condition, the amount of the second indoor return air discharged outside is adjusted to maintain the positive pressure of the machine room.
[0110] (2) In winter, the first outdoor fresh air does not need to be sprayed, and is directly exchanged with the first indoor return air in the air-air heat exchanger, and the first outdoor fresh air after heat exchange is discharged to the outdoor. If the first indoor return air after treatment can meet the indoor supply air humidity requirement, the second outdoor fresh air is sprayed in the spraying chamber to meet the indoor supply air temperature and humidity requirement, and then mixed with the first indoor return air after treatment in the mixing chamber and sent to the indoor. If the first indoor return air after treatment cannot meet the indoor supply air humidity requirement, the compressor is started, the four-way valve is adjusted so that the first heat exchange coil is a heating coil (evaporator), the spraying chamber water temperature is raised, and the second outdoor fresh air is heated and humidified after spraying, and then mixed with the first indoor return air after treatment in the mixing chamber to meet the indoor requirement. In addition, according to the indoor positive pressure condition, the amount of second indoor return air discharged to the outdoor is adjusted to maintain the positive pressure of the machine room.
[0111] (3) In the transition season, the first outdoor fresh air does not need to be sprayed, and is directly exchanged with the first indoor return air in the air-air heat exchanger, and the first outdoor fresh air after heat exchange is discharged to the outdoor. The second outdoor fresh air does not need to be sprayed, and is directly mixed with the first indoor return air after treatment in the mixing chamber and sent to the indoor. In addition, according to the indoor positive pressure condition, the amount of second indoor return air discharged to the outdoor is adjusted to maintain the positive pressure of the machine room.
