Central air conditioning is a type of air conditioning equipment. Central air conditioning is composed of one or more cold and heat source systems and multiple air conditioning systems. It uses the principle of liquid vaporization refrigeration to provide the required cooling capacity for the air conditioning system to offset the heat load of the indoor environment; the heating system provides the required heat for the air conditioning system to offset the cold load of the indoor environment.

[0003] Evaporative heat recovery technology is a widely used energy-saving technology in air conditioning systems. Its basic principle is to discharge indoor heat to the outside through an exhaust fan, and recover the energy in the air during the discharge process.

[0084] In this embodiment, the fresh air filter 12 is arranged at the side bottom of the fresh air box 11; the fresh air precooling coil 14 is arranged at the inner bottom of the fresh air box 11, near the fresh air filter 12; a condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is arranged on the other side of the fresh air filter 12; an electric heater 15 is arranged on the other side of the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4; an electric humidifier 16 is arranged on the other side of the electric heater 15; a water pump 17 is arranged on the other side of the electric humidifier 16; and the air supply mechanism 13 is arranged on the top of the fresh air box 11;

[0085] A partial condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the exhaust fan unit 2 and is connected to the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 arranged at the bottom of the fresh air unit 1 through a pipeline.

[0086] The flow direction of the fresh air is: the fresh air only flows in the fresh air box 11, enters the fresh air box 11 from the fresh air filter 12, flows through the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14, passes through the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 set in the fresh air box 11, and then flows upward to the air supply mechanism 13 and is discharged from the fresh air unit 1.

[0087] The condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 includes a compressor 41 , a four-way valve 42 , a heat recovery condenser 43 , a fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 , an air supply section condenser 45 , and a thermal expansion valve 46 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the fresh air unit 1: the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 is arranged on one side of the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14; the other side of the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 is provided with an air supply section condenser 45; the other side of the air supply section condenser 45 is provided with a thermal expansion valve 46;

[0089] The condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is arranged in the exhaust unit 2: the four-way valve 42 is arranged on the side close to the fresh air box 11; the compressor 41 is arranged on the other side of the four-way valve 42 and connected to the four-way valve 42;

[0093] In this embodiment, the condensation heat step recovery high-efficiency refrigeration system is provided with three operation modes, namely: constant temperature and humidity operation mode, heat recovery operation mode and dehumidification operation mode.

[0094] Reference Figure 2-4 ,in Figure 2 The constant temperature and humidity operation mode workflow of the efficient refrigeration system for condensation heat cascade recovery, Figure 3 The workflow for heat recovery operation mode, Figure 4 This is the working process of dehumidification operation mode.

[0095] Figure 2-Figure 4 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the flow direction of exhaust and fresh air.

[0096] Reference Figure 2 When the condensation heat step recovery high-efficiency refrigeration system is in a constant temperature and humidity operation mode, the exhaust valve 23 is in a closed state and the bypass air valve 34 is in an open state.

[0097] The flow of exhaust air is as follows: the exhaust air enters the interior of the heat recovery box 31 from the exhaust air filter 32, is blocked by the exhaust air valve 23, flows upward through the spray heat recovery mechanism 33, and enters the top of the heat recovery box 31;

[0098] Fresh air enters the top of the heat recovery box 31 through the bypass air valve 34, mixes with the exhaust air entering the heat recovery box 31 from the exhaust filter 32, enters the exhaust box 21 after the heat recovery condenser 43, and is then discharged from the exhaust box 21 by the exhaust mechanism 22.

[0099] When the exhaust air passes through the spray heat recovery mechanism 33, heat exchange is performed once. At this time, the temperature of the exhaust air is close to the wet bulb temperature before recovery, and only the relative humidity increases. The latent heat of the exhaust air is recovered, but the sensible heat is not fully recovered;

[0100] The exhaust air after the primary heat exchange is mixed with the fresh air entering the top of the heat recovery box 31 from the bypass air valve 34, and the mixed air undergoes secondary heat exchange in the heat recovery condenser 43. The mixed air after the secondary heat exchange is discharged outdoors through the exhaust mechanism 22.

[0101] During the secondary heat exchange process, the exhaust air changes as follows: the exhaust air temperature after the secondary heat exchange increases, and part of the moisture inside the spray heat recovery mechanism 33 is brought out during the heat exchange process, and part of the moisture brought out is blocked by the heat recovery condenser 43 and drips back to the spray heat recovery mechanism 22, and the other part of the moisture is vaporized and converted into water vapor and discharged with the exhaust air.

[0102] The flow of fresh air is as follows: the fresh air enters the fresh air box from the fresh air filter 12, is pre-cooled by the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14, flows into the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 for further cooling, and then is adjusted in temperature and humidity by the electric heater 15 and the electric humidifier 16, and then enters the air supply mechanism 13 to deliver the fresh air to the use side.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 When the condensing heat step recovery high-efficiency refrigeration system is in the heat recovery operation mode, the exhaust valve 23 and the bypass air valve 34 are in the closed state.

[0104] The flow of exhaust air is as follows: the exhaust air enters the heat recovery box 31 from the exhaust filter 32, is blocked by the exhaust valve 23, flows upward through the spray heat recovery mechanism 33, then enters the exhaust box 21 from the heat recovery condenser 43, and is subsequently discharged from the exhaust box 21 by the exhaust mechanism 22.

[0105] When the exhaust air passes through the spray heat recovery mechanism 33, a heat exchange is performed. At this time, the temperature of the exhaust air is close to the wet bulb temperature before recovery, and only the relative humidity increases. The latent heat of the exhaust air is recovered, but the sensible heat is not fully recovered; the exhaust air after the primary heat exchange is subjected to a secondary heat exchange with the heat recovery condenser 43, and the exhaust air after the secondary heat exchange is discharged outdoors through the exhaust mechanism 22.

[0106] During the secondary heat exchange process, the exhaust air changes as follows: the exhaust air temperature after the secondary heat exchange increases, and part of the moisture inside the spray heat recovery mechanism 33 is taken out during the heat exchange process. Part of the moisture taken out is blocked by the heat recovery condenser 43 and drips back to the spray heat recovery mechanism 22, and the other part of the moisture is vaporized and converted into water vapor and discharged with the exhaust air.

[0107] The flow of fresh air is as follows: the fresh air enters the fresh air box from the fresh air filter 12, is pre-cooled by the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14, flows into the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 for further cooling, and then enters the air supply mechanism 13 to deliver the fresh air to the use side.

[0108] When the refrigeration system is in the constant temperature and humidity operation mode and the heat recovery operation mode, the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 absorbs the heat of the fresh air through the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44, and the heat is transferred to the heat recovery condenser 43 through the thermal expansion valve 43. The heat recovery condenser 43 can transfer the heat to the exhaust air after the first heat exchange, thereby realizing the secondary recovery of the exhaust air energy.

[0109] In this embodiment, the medium for heat transfer is a refrigerant, which can absorb or release heat through phase change. The compressor 41 can compress the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas state, and drive the refrigerant to run in the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4. The heat recovery condenser 43 can transfer the heat of the refrigerant to the exhaust air; the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 can absorb the heat of the pre-cooled fresh air, so that the pre-cooled fresh air is further cooled.

[0110] After the refrigerant absorbs heat in the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44, it is converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant to achieve a refrigeration effect. The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 41 for compression to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 42 and enters the heat recovery condenser 43 for heat dissipation. The refrigerant after heat dissipation is converted into a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the thermal expansion valve 43 for throttling to become a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant then enters the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 for heat absorption to achieve a refrigeration cycle.

[0111] When the refrigeration system is in dehumidification mode, refer to Figure 4 At this time, the bypass air valve 34 is in a closed state and the exhaust valve 23 is in an open state.

[0112] The flow of exhaust air is as follows: the exhaust air enters the heat recovery box 31 from the exhaust filter 32 , then enters the exhaust box 21 through the exhaust valve 23 , then flows upward to the exhaust mechanism 22 , and is discharged from the exhaust box 21 by the exhaust mechanism 22 .

[0113] The flow of fresh air is as follows: the fresh air enters the fresh air box 11 from the fresh air filter 12, passes through the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14, flows into the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 for cooling and dehumidification, then passes through the air supply section condenser 45 for heating, and finally enters the air supply mechanism 13 to deliver the fresh air to the use side.

[0114] When the refrigeration system is in the dehumidification operation mode, the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 does not cooperate with the heat recovery unit 3 and the exhaust unit 2, and the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14 does not work. The fresh air is cooled and dehumidified in the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44, and then heated in the air supply section condenser 45 and enters the use side through the air supply mechanism 36. The state of the refrigerant is: the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant after absorbing heat in the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44, and the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 41 for compression and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 42 and enters the air supply section condenser 45 to dissipate heat and become a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the thermal expansion valve 43 for throttling and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 to absorb heat to realize the refrigeration cycle.

[0115] In the present embodiment, an exhaust fan is arranged inside the exhaust mechanism 22, and the exhaust fan can guide the exhaust air from the exhaust filter 32 into the heat recovery box 31, and then enter the exhaust box through the spray heat recovery mechanism 33, the heat recovery condenser 43 or the exhaust valve 23, and be discharged from the exhaust mechanism 22 to the exhaust box 21 along the air duct; an exhaust fan is also arranged inside the air supply mechanism 13, and the exhaust fan arranged inside the air supply mechanism 13 can guide the fresh air from the fresh air filter 12 into the fresh air box 11, and be discharged from the fresh air box 11 from the air supply mechanism 13 along the air duct.

[0116] In this embodiment, by installing the compressor 41 of the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 at the bottom of the exhaust fan unit 2, the heat generated by the compressor 41 during operation is prevented from diffusing into the fresh air duct, thereby avoiding increasing the workload of the fresh air unit 1. In addition, there is no need to set up an additional box of the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4, and the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is integrated into the exhaust fan unit 2, the heat recovery unit 3, and the fresh air unit 1 to reduce the installation cost.

[0117] The heat recovery condenser 43 of the condensing heat recovery mechanism 4 is arranged on the top of the heat recovery box 31 and the top of the spray heat recovery mechanism 33. The exhaust air can pass through the heat recovery condenser 43 after a heat exchange at the spray heat recovery mechanism 22. The heat recovery condenser 43 transfers the heat of the refrigerant to the exhaust air, thereby realizing secondary heat exchange of the exhaust air. Since the exhaust air temperature after the first heat exchange is still relatively low, when the exhaust air after the first heat exchange exchanges heat with the heat recovery condenser 43, the temperature difference between the exhaust air and the refrigerant increases, thereby improving the efficiency of the condensing heat recovery mechanism 4.

[0118] In this embodiment, the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44 of the condensing heat recovery mechanism 4 is arranged on one side of the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14. The fresh air is pre-cooled by the fresh air pre-cooling coil 14 and then cooled by the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44, thereby re-cooling the pre-cooled fresh air.

[0119] In this embodiment, the air supply section condenser 45 of the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is placed behind the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44. After the fresh air is cooled and dehumidified in the fresh air re-cooling evaporator 44, it is heated by the air supply section condenser 45 to realize the dehumidification and reheating function of the fresh air.

[0120] In this embodiment, the temperature of the exhaust air after the primary heat exchange is close to the wet-bulb temperature of the exhaust air before recovery, and the relative humidity is increased; when the exhaust air after the primary heat exchange undergoes secondary heat exchange in the heat recovery condenser 43, part of the water droplets brought out of the spray heat recovery mechanism 22 by the exhaust air will evaporate and absorb heat on the surface of the heat recovery condenser 43, which can effectively increase the heat exchange coefficient of the heat recovery condenser 43, thereby increasing the efficiency of the entire condensation heat recovery mechanism 4. The heat recovery condenser 43 has the function of a water baffle, and part of the water is blocked by the heat recovery condenser 43 and drips back to the spray heat recovery mechanism 22, and the other part of the water is converted into water vapor after vaporization and discharged with the exhaust air, which can effectively reduce the loss of the unit spray water.

[0121] In this embodiment, an electric heater 15, an electric humidifier 16 and a water pump 17 are provided in the fresh air unit 1. When the air humidity on the fresh air side needs to be adjusted, the electric heater 15, the electric humidifier 16 and the water pump 17 in the fresh air unit 1 can adjust the air humidity on the fresh air side by using the condensed water generated when the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is working. The water pump 17 pumps the condensed water into the electric heater 15 and the electric humidifier 16. The electric humidifier 16 can convert the condensed water into water mist, mix it with the fresh air side, and discharge it into the fresh air side through the air supply mechanism 13, thereby increasing the air humidity on the fresh air side.

[0122] The atomized water in the fresh air side can absorb heat and vaporize in the air, thereby humidifying the air. This method is also a humidification process close to isenthalpy. At the same time, the atomized water can absorb heat and vaporize in the air, which helps to reduce the temperature on the fresh air side and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0123] In this embodiment, the electric heater 15, the electric humidifier 16, and the water pump 17 provided in the fresh air unit 1 can be started manually; or started by automatic control, specifically:

[0124] In the environment where the refrigeration system is used, an air detection device is provided, which can detect the temperature and humidity of the air. When the humidity is lower than a specified value, the electric heating 15, the electric humidification 16 and the water pump 17 are started until the humidity on the fresh air side reaches a specified value.

[0125] In this embodiment, when the user side has relatively high requirements for air quality, the unit enters a constant temperature and humidity operation mode. At this time, the output capacity of the condensing heat recovery mechanism 4 increases to ensure sufficient cooling capacity. The fresh air is processed to the set temperature and humidity values ​​through the adjustment of the electric heating 15 and the electric humidification 16. At the same time, the heat of the heat recovery condenser 43 increases. When the exhaust air volume is not enough to completely take away the heat of the heat recovery condenser 43, it is necessary to open the bypass air valve 34 to introduce outdoor fresh air to ensure that there is enough air volume for heat exchange with the heat recovery condenser 43, which not only realizes the safe and efficient operation of the condensing heat recovery mechanism 4, but also enables the temperature and humidity of the air on the user side to be accurately controlled.

[0126] When the user side has relatively low requirements for air quality, the unit enters the heat recovery operation mode. In this mode, only the heat of the exhaust air is recovered and utilized, and the temperature and humidity of the air on the user side are not controlled. At this time, the output capacity of the condensation heat recovery mechanism 4 is controlled within the range where the exhaust air can just take away the heat in the heat recovery condenser 43, thereby realizing efficient recovery of exhaust air energy.

[0127] As another embodiment, the condensate evaporation device adopts an ultrasonic humidifier. At this time, the electric heating 15, the electric humidifier 16, and the water pump 17 are replaced by an ultrasonic generator, a vibrating plate, and a water tank. At this time, the condensate flows into the water tank, and the ultrasonic generator drives the vibrating plate to vibrate, so that the condensate is atomized, mixed with the fresh air, and discharged into the fresh air side.

[0128] By using an ultrasonic generator, the humidification intensity on the fresh air side can be guaranteed to be high, the humidification is uniform, and the humidification efficiency is high. Compared with the electric heating and electric humidification methods, the use of ultrasonic humidifiers can reduce energy loss. In addition, the condensed water does not contain other impurities, which meets the conditions for long-term use of ultrasonic humidifiers.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
