The first coil 401 and the second coil 402 are used to adjust the temperature.

[0039] Basic working principle of water system:

[0040] 1) Preheating and cooling share the same pipeline.

[0041] 2) In summer, the preheating system stops heating, the circulating water in the pipeline is cooled by the chiller, and then sent to the air conditioner to cool the air. The cooled air is sent to the service area. The preheating water temperature is designed to be 6 degrees when entering the coil and 12 degrees when leaving the coil. The system controls the return water temperature to 12 degrees, and the chiller is loaded and unloaded according to the return water temperature (different loads, different return water temperatures). The reheating water system is used for temperature fine-tuning.

[0042] 3) In winter, the chiller stops working and the air conditioner will perform two-stage heating of the air by preheating and reheating. The preheating design return water temperature is 12 degrees, and the reheating water supply temperature is 80 degrees.

[0043] Basic working principle of cabin air system:

[0044] 1) In winter, the heat load of the outer cabin is large. The air is sent into the cabin after being processed by the preheating and reheating coils of the air conditioner. The cabin air distributor is electrically heated, with a total of three levels of heating. The water inlet valve of the reheating coil is automatically adjusted according to the temperature sensor;

[0045] 2) In winter, the heat load in the cabin is small and needs to be cooled. The air passes through the preheating coil (temperature is about 13 degrees) and enters the cabin. The end air distributor is electrically heated, a total of two-stage heating. The water inlet valve of the preheating coil is automatically adjusted according to the temperature sensor;

[0046] 3) The cabin is equipped with a thermostat, which has a built-in temperature sensor. The thermostat automatically adjusts the variable air volume damper built into the air blower to adjust the air volume based on the user's settings and the data from the temperature sensor. When the air volume cannot be reduced any further (people have the minimum requirement for fresh air), the electric heating in the air blower is automatically started to adjust the temperature;

[0047] 4) The air duct pressure is designed to be constant pressure. When the variable air volume damper of each cabin is activated, the pressure of the air duct will change. The variable frequency fan in the air conditioner will automatically increase or decrease the fan frequency according to the pressure sensor on the main pipe, so as to achieve the purpose of cabin comfort and energy saving.

[0048] Basic working principle of hall cabin:

[0049] 1) The refrigerant / preheating water inlet valve automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the coil according to the temperature set by the temperature sensor;

[0050] 2) The water inlet valve of the reheat coil automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the coil according to the temperature set by the temperature sensor;

[0051] 3) The water inlet valve of the reheat coil automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the coil according to the temperature set by the temperature sensor:

[0052] 4) The variable air volume damper is automatically adjusted according to the temperature sensor and CO2 concentration sensor in the left hall. The temperature sensor is controlled by temperature, and the CO2 concentration is used to determine the number of people in the area. The number of people is calculated by the concentration to control the opening of the variable air volume damper. The principle is the same in the right hall;

[0053] 5) The air duct is designed for constant pressure. When the variable air volume gate opening changes, the pipe pressure will change accordingly. The pressure change is detected by the pressure sensor and the output is used to control the frequency increase or decrease of the fan;

[0054] 6) When the hall is unoccupied for a long time, for energy saving considerations, the air shut-off dampers at the air inlet and exhaust outlet can be closed, and the electric shut-off damper 5 on the circulating air duct can be opened to put the system into a fully internal circulation state.

[0055] The present invention adds a level of reheating to the water system, lowering the preheated water temperature in winter to meet the needs of the inner cabin and some technical cabins that still need refrigeration even in winter (such as computer rooms, electrical rooms and other high-heating places). Other areas are regulated by two levels of preheating and reheating systems, making the regulation more precise. In the wind system, rotary wheels, variable air volume dampers, variable air volume air distributors, CO2 concentration sensors and other means are added to enable the air-conditioned areas to be independently adjusted according to individual differences, and fully automatic control is achieved, thereby achieving the purpose of both comfort and energy saving. In view of the fact that there is no one in the public areas of passenger ships during the off-season, peak season, and in operation or non-operation states, the system can also switch to a full internal circulation mode, greatly saving energy. The air conditioner adds a rotary wheel. The rotary wheel can enable the return air and the fresh air to undergo full heat exchange, and they will not mix with each other, preventing the return air from polluting the fresh air, greatly improving the energy-saving efficiency.

[0056] The main advantages of the design of the present invention are:

[0057] 1. The water system adds reheating cycle, improves regulation accuracy and enhances passenger comfort;

[0058] 2. The air conditioner adds a rotary wheel to exchange energy between the return air and the fresh air, greatly improving the energy-saving efficiency;

[0059] 3. The air conditioner has built-in electric dampers for return air and fresh air, which can switch to internal circulation mode when no one is in the public area, which is suitable for energy saving on passenger ships;

[0060] 4. By adding variable air volume dampers, variable air volume, and air distribution unit CO2 concentration sensors, different areas on the ship can be individually adjusted according to different settings or actual conditions, greatly improving the comfort of passengers.

[0061] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
