[0002] In the current fresh air dehumidifier, the fresh air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger in the following order: pre-cooling surface cooler → evaporator → air-cooled condenser, and then is sent to the indoor.

Then, the fresh air exchanges heat with the evaporator again to reduce the temperature and complete dehumidification.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1-5 An air conditioning device provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, which comprises a shell-and-tube condenser 1, a refrigerant circulation system 2, and a cooling liquid circulation system 3.

[0044] The shell-and-tube condenser 1 has a first tube pass and a second tube pass.

[0045] The refrigerant circulation system 2 communicates with the first tube pass, and the refrigerant circulation system 2 comprises a compressor 21, a throttling device 22, and a finned evaporator 23. The refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation system 2 flows through the compressor 21, the first tube pass, the throttling device 22, and the finned evaporator 23 in sequence, and returns to the compressor 21.

[0046] The cooling liquid circulation system 3 is in communication with the second tube pass, and the cooling liquid circulation system 3 comprises a cold source unit 31, a pre-cooling surface cooler 32 and a reheating surface cooler 33. The cooling liquid in the cooling liquid circulation system 3 flows through the cold source unit 31, the pre-cooling surface cooler 32, the second tube pass and the reheating surface cooler 33 in sequence, and returns to the cold source unit 31.

[0047] The air flow enters the pre-cooling surface cooler 32, the finned evaporator 23 and the reheating surface cooler 33 in sequence, and forms the supply air flow.

[0048] In the present application, the dehumidified air is heated by the heat of the cooling liquid circulation system 3. Compared with the prior art in which the air is dehumidified and heated by the refrigerant circulation system 2, the temperature and humidity can be independently controlled, and the precision of the temperature and humidity control of the supply air is effectively improved.

[0049] Specifically, the refrigerant is compressed and heated by the compressor 21, enters the first tube pass of the shell-and-tube condenser 1, is throttled by the throttling device 22 to become low-temperature refrigerant, flows through the finned evaporator 23 and returns to the compressor 21, so as to realize the circulation of the refrigerant. The low-temperature pre-cooling water provided by the cold source unit 31 enters the pre-cooling surface cooler 32, is heated, enters the second tube pass of the shell-and-tube condenser 1, is heated again after heat exchange with the high-temperature refrigerant in the first tube pass, then enters the reheating surface cooler 33 to heat the dehumidified air, returns the heat in the refrigerant circulation system 2 and the cooling liquid circulation system 3 to the air, and finally returns to the cold source unit 31 to realize the circulation of the cooling liquid. In the present application, the external fresh air first flows through the pre-cooling surface cooler 32 for pre-cooling, then flows through the finned evaporator 23 for dehumidification, the dehumidified air flows through the reheating surface cooler 33 for heating, and the indoor temperature is thus kept constant.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6 In the related art, the heat exchange sequence of the fresh air and the heat exchanger is: pre-cooling surface cooler→evaporator→air-cooled condenser, and the fresh air is then sent to the indoor. The fresh air is first heat-exchanged with the pre-cooling surface cooler to be cooled, the pre-cooling surface cooler bears part of the sensible heat load, then the fresh air is further heat-exchanged with the evaporator to be cooled and dehumidified, at this time, the temperature of the fresh air is lower than the original temperature of the indoor, the fresh air needs to pass through the air-cooled condenser to be heated to a suitable temperature, and then the fresh air is sent to the indoor. The dehumidification and heating of the fresh air are both completed by the refrigerant system, and the upstream and downstream processes influence each other, the control precision is not high, and the complete independent control of the temperature and humidity of the fresh air cannot be effectively achieved.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the gas after pre-cooling is dehumidified by the finned evaporator 23 of the refrigerant circulation system 2, and then the temperature of the dehumidified gas is raised by the reheating panel cooler 33 of the cooling liquid circulation system 3. The dehumidification and temperature rise of the gas are respectively completed by the mutually independent refrigerant circulation system 2 and the cooling liquid circulation system 3, so as to independently control the humidity and temperature of the gas, and effectively improve the precision of the temperature and humidity control of the supply air.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first regulating valve 34 is arranged between the second tube path and the reheating panel cooler 33, and is used to regulate the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating panel cooler 33.

[0053] In the present application, the first regulating valve 34 is arranged to control the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating panel cooler 33, so as to realize the temperature rise effect of the dehumidified gas, and the temperature of the gas can be more accurately controlled. Specifically, when the gas needs to be warmed up and the cooling liquid output by the second tube path can warm up the gas, the opening of the first regulating valve 34 can be increased to increase the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating panel cooler 33, so as to warm up the gas. When the gas needs to be warmed up but the cooling liquid output by the second tube path cannot warm up the gas, the opening of the first regulating valve 34 can be reduced to reduce the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating panel cooler 33. When the gas needs to be cooled down and the cooling liquid output by the second tube path can cool down the gas, the opening of the first regulating valve 34 can be increased to increase the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating panel cooler 33. When the gas needs to be cooled down but the cooling liquid output by the second tube path cannot cool down the gas, the opening of the first regulating valve 34 can be reduced to reduce the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating panel cooler 33.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 2-3 In some embodiments, the regulating branch 35 is arranged between the second tube path and the cooling source unit 31, and the regulating branch 35 is arranged in parallel with the reheating panel cooler 33. The second regulating valve 36 is arranged on the regulating branch 35, and is used to regulate the flow of the cooling liquid into the regulating branch 35.

[0055] In the present application, the regulating branch 35 is arranged to ensure the normal circulation of the cooling liquid. That is, when the flow of the cooling liquid in the reheating panel cooler 33 is increased, the flow of the cooling liquid flowing through the regulating branch 35 is correspondingly reduced. When the flow of the cooling liquid in the reheating panel cooler 33 is reduced, the flow of the cooling liquid flowing through the regulating branch 35 is correspondingly increased, so as to ensure the normal circulation of the cooling liquid, and further ensure the temperature of the cooling liquid at different positions, and further improve the temperature control effect on the gas.

[0056] Specifically, a one-way valve 37 is arranged between the reheating surface cooler 33 and the cold source unit 31, and the one-way valve 37 is arranged in parallel with the second regulating valve 36, so that the cooling liquid in the adjusting branch 35 can be prevented from entering the reheating surface cooler 33, and the flow of the cooling liquid flowing through the reheating surface cooler 33 can be accurately controlled, and the control accuracy of the gas temperature can be further improved.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first temperature sensor 4 is arranged to detect the temperature of the second tube pass output end, and the second temperature sensor 5 is arranged to detect the temperature of the reheating surface cooler 33 air input end; wherein the first temperature sensor 4 and the second temperature sensor 5 control the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 and the second regulating valve 36 through the controller.

[0058] In the present application, the first temperature sensor 4 is arranged to detect the temperature of the second tube pass output end, i.e. the temperature of the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass, and the second temperature sensor 5 is arranged to detect the temperature before entering the reheating surface cooler 33. By comparing the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 and the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, it can be known whether the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass can heat or cool the gas. If it is needed to heat the gas and the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass can heat the gas, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is increased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is decreased, so that more cooling liquid enters the reheating surface cooler 33 to heat the gas. If it is needed to heat the gas but the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass cannot heat the gas, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is decreased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is increased, so that the cooling liquid is reduced or even avoided from entering the reheating surface cooler 33. If it is needed to cool the gas and the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass can cool the gas, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is increased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is decreased, so that more cooling liquid enters the reheating surface cooler 33 to cool the gas. If it is needed to cool the gas but the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass cannot cool the gas, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is decreased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is increased, so that the cooling liquid is reduced or even avoided from entering the reheating surface cooler 33.

[0059] Specifically, when the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is compared with the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 needs to be increased by a deviation temperature. When the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is greater than the sum of the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 and the deviation temperature, it proves that the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass has a heating effect on the gas. When the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is less than the sum of the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 and the deviation temperature, it proves that the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass has a cooling effect on the gas.

[0060] In some embodiments, a third temperature sensor 6 is further included for detecting the temperature of the supply air flow, and the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is compared with the set temperature range of the supply air flow to obtain a temperature adjustment indication, and the controller adjusts the opening degree of the first adjustment valve 34 and the second adjustment valve 36 according to the temperature adjustment indication.

[0061] In the present application, the temperature of the supply air flow is detected by the third temperature sensor 6, and the temperature of the supply air flow is compared with the set temperature range of the supply air flow to obtain a temperature adjustment indication, i.e., when the temperature of the supply air flow is lower than the set temperature range of the supply air flow, the gas needs to be warmed up, and when the temperature of the supply air flow is higher than the set temperature range of the supply air flow, the gas needs to be cooled down. Then, according to the temperature adjustment indication, the opening degree of the first adjustment valve 34 and the second adjustment valve 36 is adjusted to regulate the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33, so as to realize the temperature rise or temperature drop of the gas, and the temperature adjustment of the supply air flow can be automatically completed according to the set temperature range of the supply air flow.

[0062] Specifically, when the temperature adjustment indication is to warm up, if the cooling liquid output by the second tube passage can warm up the gas, the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is increased, and if the cooling liquid output by the second tube passage cannot warm up the gas, the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is reduced or even avoided. When the temperature adjustment indication is to cool down, if the cooling liquid output by the second tube passage can cool down the gas, the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is increased, and if the cooling liquid output by the second tube passage cannot cool down the gas, the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is reduced or even avoided. When the temperature adjustment indication is to maintain the temperature, the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is kept unchanged.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, when the third temperature sensor 6 detects that the temperature is lower than the set temperature range of the supply air flow, and the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is higher than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, the opening degree of the first adjustment valve 34 is increased, and the opening degree of the second adjustment valve 36 is decreased; and / or when the third temperature sensor 6 detects that the temperature is lower than the set temperature range of the supply air flow, and the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is lower than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, the opening degree of the first adjustment valve 34 is decreased, and the opening degree of the second adjustment valve 36 is increased.

[0064] In the present application, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is lower than the set temperature range of the air supply flow, i.e. the air supply temperature is lower than the set temperature range, if the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is higher than the sum of the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 and the deviation temperature, it proves that the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass can warm up the gas, then the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is increased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is decreased to increase the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33, thereby realizing the warming up of the gas; if the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is lower than the sum of the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 and the deviation temperature, it proves that the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass can cool down the gas, then the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is decreased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is increased to decrease the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33.

[0065] Specifically, when the gas needs to be warmed up and the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass cools down the gas, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 can be gradually decreased or the first regulating valve 34 can be directly closed and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is adjusted to the maximum.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is within the set temperature range of the air supply flow, the opening degrees of the first regulating valve 34 and the second regulating valve 36 remain unchanged.

[0067] In the present application, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is within the set temperature range of the air supply flow, i.e. the air supply temperature is within the set temperature range, if the gas does not need to be warmed up or cooled down, the opening degrees of the first regulating valve 34 and the second regulating valve 36 remain unchanged.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is higher than the set temperature range of the air supply flow and the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is higher than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is decreased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is increased; and / or when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is higher than the set temperature range of the air supply flow and the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is lower than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is increased and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is decreased.

[0069] In the present application, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is higher than the set temperature range of the air flow, i.e. the air temperature is higher than the set temperature range, the gas needs to be cooled down. If the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is lower than the sum of the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 and the deviation temperature at this time, it proves that the cooling liquid output by the second tube passes can cool down the gas, then the opening of the first regulating valve 34 is increased, the opening of the second regulating valve 36 is decreased, and the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is increased; if the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is higher than the sum of the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5 and the deviation temperature at this time, it proves that the cooling liquid output by the second tube passes cannot cool down the gas, then the flow of the cooling liquid into the reheating surface cooler 33 is decreased.

[0070] Specifically, when the gas needs to be cooled down, and the cooling liquid output by the second tube passes warms up the gas, the opening of the first regulating valve 34 can be gradually decreased, or the first regulating valve 34 can be directly closed, and the opening of the second regulating valve 36 is adjusted to the maximum.

[0071] In some embodiments, the refrigerant circulation system 2 further comprises a heating branch 24 arranged between the compressor 21 and the throttling device 22, the heating branch 24 is arranged in parallel with the first tube pass, the heating branch 24 is provided with a reheating condenser 25 and a third regulating valve 26, the third regulating valve 26 is used to adjust the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the heating branch 24, and the opening of the third regulating valve 26 is controlled by the controller.

[0072] In the present application, part of the refrigerant heated by the compressor 21 enters the heating branch 24, and the reheating cooler can further warm up the gas, and the other part enters the first tube pass of the shell-and-tube condenser 1 to heat the cooling liquid of the second tube pass. Specifically, the reheating cooler is located at the output end of the reheating surface cooler 33, i.e. the gas first enters the reheating surface cooler 33, and then enters the reheating condenser 25. The flow of the refrigerant entering the heating branch 24 can be adjusted through the third regulating valve 26, so that the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass can be used to adjust the temperature of the gas, and the reheating condenser 25 can also be used to adjust the temperature of the gas.

[0073] Specifically, the case of cooling the air flow is relatively rare, and the flow of the refrigerant in the finned evaporator 23 or the flow of the cooling liquid in the precooling surface cooler 32 is generally increased to cool the air flow. It is more common to warm up the dehumidified gas, and the cooling liquid output by the second tube pass is used to warm up the gas in the reheating surface cooler 33 in the present application, so that the part of the gas that is warmed up is separated from the refrigerant circulation system 2, so that the temperature and humidity of the gas can be independently controlled, and the precision of the temperature and humidity control of the gas is improved.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is lower than the set temperature range of the air flow, the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is higher than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, and the opening of the first regulating valve 34 is maximum, the opening of the second regulating valve 36 is minimum, the opening of the third regulating valve 26 is controlled to increase; and / or when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than the set temperature range of the air flow, the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is lower than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, and the opening of the first regulating valve 34 is minimum, the opening of the second regulating valve 36 is maximum, the opening of the third regulating valve 26 is controlled to increase.

[0075] In the present application, when extreme cases occur, for example, the gas needs to be warmed up, the cooling liquid output by the second pipe passage can warm up the gas, but the opening of the first regulating valve 34 has been adjusted to the maximum, and the temperature of the air flow is still lower than the set temperature range of the air flow, at this time, the flow of the refrigerant in the reheat condenser 25 can be increased to further increase the temperature of the air flow to the set temperature range; for example, the gas needs to be warmed up, but the cooling liquid output by the second pipe passage is not enough to warm up the gas, the first regulating valve 34 is closed, and the temperature of the air flow is still lower than the set temperature range, at this time, the flow of the refrigerant in the reheat condenser 25 can be increased to further increase the temperature of the air flow to the set temperature range.

[0076] In some embodiments, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is within the set temperature range of the air flow, the openings of the first regulating valve 34, the second regulating valve 36 and the third regulating valve 26 are kept unchanged.

[0077] In the present application, when the temperature of the air flow is within the set temperature range of the air flow, the openings of the first regulating valve 34, the second regulating valve 36 and the third regulating valve 26 are kept unchanged.

[0078] Specifically, the above-mentioned case that the openings of the first regulating valve 34, the second regulating valve 36 and the third regulating valve 26 are kept unchanged is when the cooling liquid is not enough to adjust the temperature of the gas. If the cooling liquid can complete the adjustment of the temperature of the gas, the third regulating valve 26 is kept closed, at this time, the temperature adjustment of the gas is completed by the cooling liquid, the dehumidification of the gas is completed by the refrigerant circulation system 2, and the temperature and humidity control of the gas are ensured to be independent of each other.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is higher than the set temperature range of the air supply flow, the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is higher than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, and the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is minimum and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is maximum, the opening degree of the third regulating valve 26 is controlled to decrease; and / or when the temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 6 is higher than the set temperature range of the air supply flow, the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 4 is lower than the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 5, and the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 is maximum and the opening degree of the second regulating valve 36 is minimum, the opening degree of the third regulating valve 26 is controlled to decrease.

[0080] In the present application, when extreme cases occur, for example, when the gas needs to be cooled, the cooling liquid output by the second tube passes can cool the gas, but the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 has been adjusted to maximum, and the air supply temperature is still higher than the set temperature range, at this time, the opening degree of the third regulating valve 26 can be decreased or even the third regulating valve 26 is closed. For another example, when the gas needs to be cooled, the cooling liquid output by the second tube passes is not enough to cool the gas, and the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 has been adjusted to minimum, at this time, the opening degree of the third regulating valve 26 can be decreased or even the third regulating valve 26 is closed.

[0081] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further comprises a humidity sensor 7, the humidity sensor 7 is used to detect the humidity of the air output end of the fin evaporator 23; wherein when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 7 is greater than the set humidity range, the power of the compressor 21 is controlled to increase; when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 7 is less than the set humidity range, the power of the compressor 21 is controlled to decrease; when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 7 is within the set humidity range, the power of the compressor 21 is controlled to be unchanged.

[0082] In the present application, when the humidity of the gas is lower than the preset humidity range, the power of the compressor 21 is increased, the supply of the refrigerant is increased, and the dehumidification effect on the gas is improved; when the humidity of the gas is higher than the preset humidity range, the power of the compressor 21 is decreased, and the supply of the refrigerant is reduced; when the humidity of the gas is within the preset humidity range, the power of the compressor 21 is kept unchanged.

[0083] Specifically, when the gas needs to be cooled, the power of the compressor 21 can also be increased to complete the cooling.

[0084] The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a fan 8, the fan 8 is used to supply air indoors, and drive external air to pass through the pre-cooling surface cooler 32, the fin evaporator 23, the reheating surface cooler 33 and the reheating condenser 25 in sequence to form an air supply flow and enter the room.

[0085] The air conditioning device warms the dehumidified gas through the heat of the cooling liquid circulation system 3, compared with the existing technology of dehumidifying and warming the gas through the refrigerant circulation system 2, the temperature and humidity can be independently controlled, and the precision of the temperature and humidity control of the supply air is effectively improved.

[0103] S323, if T1 is within T2, the opening degree of the first regulating valve 34 and the second regulating valve 36 is kept unchanged;
