Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of aircraft ground systems, and in particular to a comprehensive support device for a cold storage liquid-cooled air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] After an aircraft stops or lands at an airport, its main engines cease operation, and its ventilation and cooling systems, as well as its automatic electronic control systems, are shut down. The aircraft is exposed to intense solar radiation and ground reflection, creating a greenhouse effect inside the cabin. This results in abnormally high internal temperatures, making it difficult for crew members to enter. Furthermore, with the increasing technological sophistication of aircraft and the application of numerous advanced automatic electronic control systems, the electronic components inside the aircraft generate a significant amount of heat during ground-based power-on testing and maintenance. If this heat is not dissipated, it can lead to excessively high temperatures in certain areas of the aircraft, such as the electronics bay, affecting the normal operation of the electronic control systems and even impacting flight safety. This necessitates ground-based air conditioning systems to ensure proper functioning.

[0003] Ground support equipment used in daily operations employs ground air conditioning to provide cool air to areas with high temperatures inside the aircraft, thereby cooling the interior. However, due to the addition of high-power electronic equipment to new and special aircraft, the heat flux density of the heat-generating components is extremely high. Fluid cooling systems can overcome the limitations of the thermal environment of high-power electronic equipment. Therefore, in addition to traditional forced air cooling air conditioning, fluid cooling is also required for the cooling of electronic equipment in aircraft mission systems.

[0004] However, in actual use, the ground support equipment equipped at airports is targeted and has a single function. In order to achieve air cooling and fluid cooling of electronic equipment, multiple ground support equipment are used to cool the aircraft. The large number of support equipment requires multiple personnel to move and operate, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cold storage liquid-cooled air conditioning integrated support device to solve the technical problem in the prior art that in order to achieve air cooling and fluid cooling of aircraft, a large number of support devices are used, requiring multiple personnel to move and operate them, which is inconvenient to use.

[0006] This invention provides a comprehensive support device for cold storage liquid-cooled air conditioning, comprising:

[0015] The air supply assembly is connected to the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor and is suitable for delivering the cooled air after heat exchange in the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor into the aircraft.

[0016] In one embodiment, the air supply system further includes a high-pressure air intercooler, which is connected to both the high-pressure fan and the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor, and is adapted to dissipate heat from the pressurized air delivered by the high-pressure fan and send it into the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor.

[0017] In one embodiment, the air supply assembly is provided with an air volume regulating component, which is suitable for regulating the air volume of the air supply assembly.

[0018] In one embodiment, the liquid supply system includes:

[0019] The liquid storage component contains coolant.

[0020] The transfer pump is suitable for delivering coolant from the liquid storage assembly to the cold storage mechanism and cold storage material for heat exchange and cooling, and for delivering the cooled coolant to the aircraft to cool electronic equipment.

[0021] In one embodiment, the liquid supply system further includes a liquid supply pipe and a self-sealing connector. The two ends of the liquid supply pipe are respectively connected to the self-sealing connector and the heat exchanger of the liquid supply system in the cold storage mechanism. The coolant in the cold storage mechanism is transported to the liquid supply pipe by a transfer pump and then transported to the aircraft through the self-sealing connector.

[0022] In one embodiment, the liquid supply system further includes a liquid return assembly adapted to recover the coolant used in the aircraft and deliver it to a liquid storage assembly.

[0023] In one embodiment, the return fluid assembly includes a return fluid radiator adapted to dissipate heat from the coolant used within the return fluid assembly.

[0024] In one embodiment, it further includes:

Furthermore, the air supply system and the liquid supply system use the same refrigeration and cold storage system, thereby reducing redundant space and design. The application of cold storage reduces overall power consumption. Additionally, the cooling capacity allocated from the cold storage mechanism by the air supply system and the liquid supply system can be mutually backed up, allowing either the air supply system or the liquid supply system to fully utilize the cooling capacity within the cold storage mechanism, thus ensuring the cooling capacity requirements of overloaded or larger aircraft.

[0044] Example

[0045] Reference Figures 1-5As shown, this invention provides a comprehensive support device for a cold storage liquid-cooled air conditioning system, including a cold storage system, an air supply system 6, and a liquid supply system 7. The cold storage system includes a refrigeration unit 4 and a cold storage unit 5. The cold storage unit 5 is configured as a cold storage box, and cold storage material is placed inside the cold storage box, filling the entire box. The refrigeration unit 4 uses refrigerant for heat exchange and cooling, and the low-temperature refrigerant is delivered to the cold storage box through a heat exchanger. The cold storage material can exchange heat and cool with the refrigerant in the refrigeration unit 4 through the heat exchanger, thereby cooling the cold storage material to a cooling temperature of 6 degrees Celsius. The air supply system 6 is suitable for outputting cold air to aircraft, thereby regulating the temperature of the cabin and electronic equipment areas of different aircraft models. The air supply system 6 can achieve connection with the cold storage unit through another heat exchanger. The cold storage material in structure 5 undergoes heat exchange and cooling, and is then transported to the air supply system 6. The air supplied to the aircraft through the air supply system 6 undergoes heat exchange and cooling, reducing the temperature of the transported air. This allows for temperature regulation of the cabin and electronic equipment areas of different aircraft models. The liquid supply system 7 is suitable for outputting coolant to the aircraft to ensure the heat exchange requirements of the aircraft's liquid cooling system, achieving the function of ground-based liquid cooling for onboard electronic equipment. The coolant in the liquid supply system 7 is transported to the cold storage structure 5 through a heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the cold storage material. This allows the cold storage material to exchange heat and cool the coolant before being transported to the aircraft to ensure the heat exchange requirements of the aircraft's liquid cooling system, achieving the function of ground-based liquid cooling for onboard electronic equipment.

[0046] Cooling capacity is generated by using refrigeration unit 4, and heat exchange and cooling are achieved through heat exchangers and cold storage materials within the cold storage unit 5. The cooling capacity is stored in the cold storage material within the cold storage unit 5. The air supply system 6 and liquid supply system 7 can utilize the cooling capacity within the cold storage unit 5 according to environmental conditions. This allows a single device to meet the needs of aircraft air conditioning and liquid-cooled ground support, enabling multiple uses, reducing the number of support equipment and operators, making it more convenient to use, and improving overall support efficiency. At the same time, the air supply system 6 and liquid supply system 7 use the same refrigeration and cold storage system, thereby reducing redundant space and design in the equipment. The application of cold storage reduces the overall power consumption of the machine. Furthermore, the cooling capacity allocated from the cold storage unit 5 by the air supply system 6 and liquid supply system 7 can be mutually backed up, allowing either the air supply system 6 or the liquid supply system 7 to fully utilize the cooling capacity within the cold storage unit 5, thus ensuring the cooling capacity requirements of overloaded or larger aircraft.

[0047] Specifically, the cold storage box is equipped with at least three sets of heat exchangers. One set of heat exchangers is adapted to the refrigeration mechanism 4, which exchanges heat between the prepared cold energy and the cold storage material in the cold storage box, thereby cooling the cold storage material. Another set of heat exchangers is adapted to the air supply system 6, which allows the air supply system 6 to exchange heat with the cold storage material through the heat exchanger and be cooled, thereby delivering cold air to the aircraft. A third set of heat exchangers is adapted to the liquid supply system 7, which allows the coolant in the liquid supply system 7 to be delivered to the cold storage box and exchange heat with the cold storage material in the cold storage mechanism 5, thereby cooling the coolant. This allows the low-temperature coolant to be delivered to the aircraft for liquid cooling of the electronic equipment inside the aircraft.

[0048] The refrigeration mechanism 4 includes a condenser 41 and a compressor 42. The refrigerant is output from the compressor 42, passes sequentially through the condenser 41 and the heat exchanger adapted to the refrigeration mechanism 4 in the cold storage mechanism 5, and then returns to the compressor 42 to form a refrigeration cycle, which exchanges heat and cools the cold storage material in the cold storage mechanism 5. The compressor 42 is adapted to compress the refrigerant and send it into the condenser 41 to release heat. It is then throttled through a throttling valve and sent into the heat exchanger adapted to the refrigeration mechanism 4 in the cold storage mechanism 5, thereby exchanging heat and cooling the cold storage material in the cold storage mechanism 5. There can be two refrigeration mechanisms 4, and the cold storage material in the cold storage mechanism 5 can be refrigerated by the two refrigeration mechanisms 4.

[0049] In one specific implementation, the air supply system 6 includes a high-pressure blower 61, a high-pressure air intercooler 65, a high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62, a circulating pump 63, and an air supply assembly 64. The high-pressure blower 61 is adapted to draw in outside air and pressurize it. The high-pressure air intercooler 65 is adapted to dissipate heat from the pressurized air delivered by the high-pressure blower 61 and send it into the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62. The high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 is adapted to cool the pressurized air delivered by the high-pressure blower 61. The circulating pump 63 is adapted to deliver the refrigerant in the heat exchanger in the air supply system 6 to the cold storage mechanism 5 for heat exchange and cooling with the cold storage material, and then deliver it again to the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 for heat exchange with the air in the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62. The air supply assembly 64 is connected to the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 and is adapted to deliver the cooled air after heat exchange in the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 into the aircraft.

[0050] The air supply system 6 uses at least two identical high-pressure blowers 61 for air supply. The outlets of both high-pressure blowers 61 are connected to the inlet of the high-pressure air intercooler 65. Fresh outside air, after being silenced and filtered, enters the high-pressure blowers 61 for pressurization. Once the required pressure is reached, it is sent into the high-pressure air intercooler 65. This allows the pressurized air supplied by the high-pressure blowers 61 to be pre-cooled by the high-pressure air intercooler 65 at room temperature, thus bringing the temperature of the pressurized air close to that of room temperature air. Since the air temperature after pressurization by the high-pressure blowers 61 is high, a high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 is used directly to cool the pressurized air. The cold storage unit 5 needs to provide a large amount of cooling capacity to cool the pressurized air at a suitable temperature to regulate the temperature of the cabin, electronic equipment, and other areas, thereby achieving energy saving. The air outlet of the high-pressure air intercooler 65 is connected to the air inlet of the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62. The room-temperature high-pressure air that has been pre-cooled by the high-pressure air intercooler 65 is sent into the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 for secondary cooling and dehumidification. Finally, it can also be steplessly temperature-regulated by an electric heater controlled by a silicon controlled rectifier to achieve clean air with a certain pressure, flow rate, temperature, and humidity that meets the requirements, and then delivered to the cabin and electronic equipment areas of the aircraft for temperature regulation.

[0051] To enable the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62 to exchange heat and cool the ambient temperature high-pressure air passing through it, a circulating pump 63 is connected to a heat exchanger adapted to the air supply system 6 within the cold storage mechanism 5. A portion of the heat exchanger is located within the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62, and a refrigerant is installed in this heat exchanger. The circulating pump 63 sends the refrigerant into the portion of the heat exchanger located within the cold storage mechanism 5, thereby exchanging heat and cooling it with the cold storage material within the cold storage mechanism 5. The cooled refrigerant is then sent into the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62, thereby exchanging heat and cooling the high-pressure air flowing over its surface. The circulating pump 63 is always in operation, continuously circulating the refrigerant in the heat exchanger adapted to the air supply system 6 between the cold storage mechanism 5 and the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62, thus continuously exchanging heat and cooling the high-pressure air within the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62.

[0052] The air supply assembly 64 is configured as an air supply hose, with one end of the air supply hose connected to the air outlet of the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62, and the other end of the air supply hose connected to the aircraft ground ventilation duct, so as to regulate the temperature of the cabin and electronic equipment areas of different aircraft types. The air supply assembly 64 is equipped with an air volume regulating assembly 66, which is suitable for regulating the air volume of the air supply assembly 64. The air volume regulating assembly 66 is configured as an air volume regulating valve.

[0053] The low-temperature cooling capacity generated by the refrigeration unit 4 can be continuously or intermittently input and output through the cold storage unit 5, saving the problem of excessive fluctuations in supply air temperature caused by various start-stop controls or malfunctions in traditional direct expansion refrigeration systems. The cold storage unit 5 utilizes the principle of large latent heat of phase change and constant phase change temperature to form a "cold energy bank" and play a safety buffer role. At the same time, the refrigerant is set as antifreeze. The high cold energy density refrigerant quickly releases the cooling capacity to the hot air in the high-pressure air heat and humidity processor 62. It is a surface cooling heat exchange, which has a higher heat exchange efficiency than Freon evaporators and can reach the required temperature in a shorter time.

[0054] In one specific implementation, the liquid supply system 7 includes a liquid storage assembly 71 containing coolant. The liquid storage assembly 71 is configured as a hollow liquid storage tank, with the coolant located inside. The top of the liquid storage tank has a vent 11 and a filling port 12 for convenient addition of coolant. A level gauge 13 is installed on the side wall of the liquid storage tank to monitor the coolant level. An electric heater may also be installed inside the liquid storage tank to circulate coolant within the tank. To regulate temperature, a supply pipe 73 is provided on the bottom side wall of the liquid storage assembly 71. One end of the supply pipe 73 is connected to the liquid storage assembly 71, allowing the coolant in the liquid storage assembly 71 to flow along the length of the supply pipe 73. A self-sealing connector 74 is provided on the end of the supply pipe 73 facing away from the liquid storage assembly 71, connecting to the aircraft's liquid inlet port, thus connecting the supply pipe 73 to the aircraft's liquid inlet port. A transfer pump 72 is also provided on the supply pipe 73. The coolant in the liquid storage component 71 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 73. When the transfer pump 72 is started, the coolant in the liquid storage component 71 can flow along the liquid supply pipe 73 to the self-sealing interface. The liquid supply pipe 73 is also provided with an inlet pipe 14 and an outlet pipe 15. Both the inlet pipe 14 and the outlet pipe 15 are connected to the liquid supply pipe 73. The inlet pipe 14 is located on the liquid supply pipe 73 near the liquid storage component 71. The end of the inlet pipe 14 and the outlet pipe 15 facing away from the liquid supply pipe 73 and located in the cold storage area are connected to the liquid storage component 71. The two ends of the heat exchanger adapted to the liquid supply system 7 in the mechanism 5 are connected and interconnected. At this time, the delivery pump 72 can flow the coolant from the liquid supply pipe 73 into the liquid inlet pipe 14, and into the heat exchanger adapted to the liquid supply system 7 and the cold storage material in the cold storage mechanism 5 for heat exchange and cooling. Then, the cooled coolant is sent into the liquid supply pipe 73 through the liquid outlet pipe 15 to mix with the original coolant flowing in the liquid supply pipe 73, thereby achieving the set liquid supply temperature required for liquid cooling of the aircraft.

[0055] The supply pipe 73 is also equipped with a flow regulating component, which is suitable for regulating the flow rate of the coolant entering the inlet pipe 14. Through the flow regulating component, the flow rate of the coolant entering the inlet pipe 14 can be controlled and regulated, so that the flow rate of the coolant entering the cold storage mechanism 5 and the cold storage material for heat exchange and cooling is controllable.

[0056] Cooling is generated using a refrigeration unit 4, and heat exchange and cooling are achieved through a heat exchanger and the cold storage material within the cold storage unit 5. The cooling capacity is stored in the cold storage material within the cold storage unit 5. The liquid supply system 7 can utilize the cooling capacity within the cold storage unit 5 according to environmental conditions, thereby meeting the aircraft's liquid-cooled ground support needs. When in use, the transfer pump 72 is activated, which delivers the coolant from the liquid storage component 71 to the liquid supply pipe 73, where it flows. When the coolant flows to the inlet pipe 14, a portion of it enters and flows into the cold storage mechanism 5. There, the coolant exchanges heat with the cold storage material within the mechanism 5. The cooled coolant is then transported to the outlet pipe 15 and fed into the supply pipe 73, where it mixes with the original coolant to reach the set supply temperature. This mixture is then delivered through the supply pipe 73 to the aircraft's inlet port, ensuring... The heat exchange requirements of aircraft liquid cooling missions enable ground-based liquid cooling of onboard electronic equipment. The coolant supplied to the aircraft is divided into two streams: one enters the cold storage unit 5 for heat exchange, while the other flows directly in the supply pipe 73. The two streams of coolant are directly mixed, achieving the set supply temperature. The flow rate of the coolant entering the cold storage unit 5 through the inlet pipe 14 is controlled by a flow regulating component. Since the total coolant flow rate in the supply pipe 73 remains constant, the supply temperature after mixing is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of the coolant entering the cold storage unit 5. Throughout the process, the supply temperature is rapidly adjusted directly by regulating the flow rate of the coolant entering the cold storage unit 5, eliminating the need to wait for the coolant to gradually heat up or cool down to reach the required temperature. This makes the process faster, more convenient, and efficient.

[0057] Specifically, the liquid supply pipe 73 includes a first pipe 731, a second pipe 732, and a third pipe 733 connected in sequence. One end of the first pipe 731 is connected to the liquid storage component 71. The delivery pump 72 is installed on the first pipe 731, which is divided into two parts. The delivery pump 72 is located between the two parts of the first pipe 731, and its inlet and outlet are connected to the two parts of the first pipe 731, respectively. The coolant in the liquid storage component 71 is introduced into the first pipe 731 through the delivery pump 72. The other end of the first pipe 731 facing away from the liquid storage component 71 is connected to one end of the inlet pipe 14 and one end of the second pipe 732. The flow regulating component is installed on the second pipe 732, which is suitable for regulating the flow rate of the coolant from the first pipe 731 into the second pipe 732. Since the flow rate of the coolant in the first pipe 731 is fixed, when the flow rate of the coolant in the second pipe 732 is adjusted, the flow rate of the coolant entering the inlet pipe 14 will also change accordingly. The end of the second pipe 732 facing away from the first pipe 731, the end of the outlet pipe 15, and the end of the third pipe 733 are all connected. The coolant in the outlet pipe 15, which has been cooled by heat exchange with the cold storage material in the cold storage mechanism 5, and the coolant in the second pipe 732 are sent together into the third pipe 733 for mixing.

[0058] The flow regulation component is configured as a first two-way regulating seat valve 76, which is located on the second pipe 732. By changing the diameter of the coolant through the first two-way regulating seat valve 76, the flow rate of coolant directly flowing from the first pipe 731 into the second pipe 732 is controlled. This, in turn, controls the flow rate of coolant flowing from the first pipe 731 into the inlet pipe 14, into the cold storage mechanism 5, and into the cold storage material for heat exchange and cooling. By controlling the flow rate of coolant, the ratio of the initial coolant entering the third pipe 733 to the cooled coolant changes, thereby regulating the supply temperature of the coolant entering the aircraft.

[0059] The coolant supply system 7 also includes a return assembly 75, adapted to recover the coolant already in use within the aircraft and deliver it to the storage assembly 71. The return assembly 75 includes a return pipe 751, one end of which is connected to and communicates with the aircraft's coolant outlet port, adapted to recover the coolant already in use within the aircraft and deliver it to the storage assembly 71. The end of the return pipe 751 facing the storage assembly 71 is connected to and communicates with the side wall at the top of the storage tank.

[0060] Furthermore, a return coolant 752 is provided on the return pipe 751, which is suitable for dissipating heat from the coolant in the return assembly 75. The coolant is first sent into the return coolant 752 and cooled down to near room temperature by natural airflow through the return coolant 752. Then it is sent into the storage assembly 71, so that the coolant in the storage assembly 71 is lower than the coolant, thereby reducing the amount of cooling provided by the cold storage mechanism 5 and saving energy.

[0061] Because the coolant in the reservoir will be recycled back into the reservoir by the return component 75, and a filter 8 is also provided on the first pipe 731, which can filter impurities in the coolant in the reservoir.

[0062] The return pipe 751 is also equipped with a second two-way regulating seat valve 9, which is suitable for regulating the flow rate in the return pipe 751. The second two-way regulating seat valve 9 can regulate the total supply pressure in the supply system 7, so that the total flow rate in the supply system 7 does not exceed the flow rate controlled by the second two-way regulating seat valve 9, thereby ensuring that the supply pressure in the supply system 7 does not exceed the demand in the aircraft, thus avoiding exceeding the demand in the aircraft and affecting the electronic equipment in the aircraft.

[0063] The first pipe 731 is also equipped with a one-way valve, which is suitable for controlling the coolant to enter the first pipe 731 only from the reservoir, so as to prevent the coolant from flowing back into the aircraft and affecting the liquid cooling requirements of electronic equipment. The third pipe 733 is also equipped with a solenoid valve 10, which is suitable for opening and closing the third pipe 733 to provide a safety for the liquid supply system 7. When the liquid supply system 7 is closed, the solenoid valve 10 is closed to prevent coolant from being delivered into the aircraft.

[0064] As an improved implementation, the integrated support equipment for cold storage liquid-cooled air conditioning also includes a housing 2, a support device 1, and a power system 3. The support device 1 is a Class II automobile chassis, or a towable chassis. The housing 2 is located on top of the support device 1 and is an integral stainless steel bent and welded structure with a hollow interior. The top of the housing 2 is equipped with a top-blowing valve to facilitate airflow between the inside and outside of the housing 2. The cold storage system, the air supply system 6, and the liquid supply system 7 are all located inside the housing 2. The power system 3 adopts a dual power supply method, that is, it can be powered by its own generator set to provide power for the cold storage system, the air supply system 6, and the liquid supply system 7, or it can be powered by an external power source.
