[0041] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following embodiments only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present application, and only the components related to the present application are shown in the diagrams, but not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. The type, number and ratio of the components in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout type of the components can be more complex.
[0042] In the following description, numerous specific details are discussed in order to provide a thorough explanation of the embodiments of the application. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the embodiments of the application can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are not described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the embodiments of the application.
[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system according to an example embodiment of the application. Referring to Figure 1 It can be seen that the refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system can include:
[0044] a first refrigeration circuit and a second refrigeration circuit.
[0045] The first refrigeration circuit includes a first three-way valve 101, a second three-way valve 102, a cooling assembly 103, a third three-way valve 104, and a refrigeration object cooling area 105 connected in sequence through pipelines to form a loop; the cooling assembly 103 includes two refrigeration machines, namely a first refrigeration machine 1031 and a second refrigeration machine 1032; the second three-way valve 102 and the third three-way valve 104 are used to split the cooling liquid to flow through the first refrigeration machine 1031 or the second refrigeration machine 1032.
[0046] The second refrigeration circuit includes a first three-way valve 101, a cooling tank group 106, a second three-way valve 102, a cooling assembly 103, a third three-way valve 104, and a refrigeration object cooling area 105 connected in sequence through pipelines to form a loop; the first three-way valve 101 is used to split the cooling liquid to flow through the first refrigeration circuit or the second refrigeration circuit; the cooling tank group 106 includes two cooling tanks, which are used to alternately naturally cool the heat-exchanged cooling liquid.
[0047] Among them, the refrigeration machines in the cooling assembly 103 cool the naturally cooled cooling liquid.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, in the first refrigeration circuit, the first end of the first three-way valve 101 and the first end of the second three-way valve 102 are connected, the second end of the second three-way valve 102 and the inlet end of one of the cooling assemblies 103 are connected, the third end of the second three-way valve 102 and the inlet end of the other of the cooling assemblies 103 are connected, the outlet end of one of the cooling assemblies 103 and the first end of the third three-way valve 104 are connected, the outlet end of the other of the cooling assemblies 103 and the second end of the third three-way valve 104 are connected, the third end of the third three-way valve 104 and the inlet end of the refrigeration object cooling area 105 are connected, and the outlet end of the refrigeration object cooling area 105 and the second end of the first three-way valve 101 are connected.
[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, in the second refrigeration circuit, the third end of the first three-way valve 101 and the inlet end of the cooling tank group 106 are connected, the outlet end of the cooling tank and the first end of the second three-way valve 102 are connected, and the connection mode of the other equipment pipeline is consistent with the connection mode in the first refrigeration circuit, which will not be described here.
[0050] In addition, the outlet end pipeline of each cooling tank in the cooling tank group 106 can be provided with a water valve d, and when the water valve d is opened, the cooling liquid in the corresponding cooling tank can be circulated and cooled. The inlet end pipeline of each cooling tank in the cooling tank group 106 can be provided with a water valve d, and when the water valve d is opened, the heat-exchanged cooling liquid can be naturally cooled in the corresponding cooling tank.
[0051] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The arrow direction represents the flow direction of the cooling liquid. The cooling liquid can be water, ethylene glycol and its mixture, propylene glycol, mineral oil, or fluorinated liquid, etc.
[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration object can be an industrial equipment, which can include power generation equipment, chemical device, metal processing equipment, electronic equipment, or mechanical manufacturing, etc. In order to maintain the normal working temperature of the industrial equipment, improve the efficiency and prolong the service life, the cooling area for the cooling liquid is often arranged in the industrial equipment, and the refrigeration object cooling area 105 in the embodiment of the present application can be the cooling area of the industrial equipment.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration machine can rapidly cool the cooling liquid, and the refrigeration machine can include a refrigeration module a, a heat exchange module b, and a water tank. The refrigeration module a can include a compressor, and the heat exchange module b can be an evaporator.
[0054] The compressor is responsible for sucking in low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant and compressing it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas through mechanical action. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant exchanges heat with the external environment or cooling medium after entering the condenser, thereby releasing heat and gradually cooling down to become liquid. The liquid refrigerant from the condenser will rapidly decompress when passing through the expansion valve, resulting in a sharp drop in temperature, becoming a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid or gas-liquid mixture, ready to enter the evaporator. As the last link of the refrigeration cycle, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the cooled object and evaporates into a gas. This process cools the cooled object, achieving the purpose of refrigeration. At the same time, the gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor to start a new cycle. The water tank can be used to store cooling liquid, which is pumped into the condenser to help remove the heat of the refrigerant, and then returns to the water tank to be cooled again. This design helps to maintain stable operation of the system and effectively utilizes water resources.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the cooling liquid flowing through the first cooling circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In Figure 2 , the direction of the arrow marked by the dashed line represents the flow direction of the cooling liquid. Referring to Figure 2 , it can be seen that when the cooling liquid flows through the first cooling circuit, one of the two refrigerators can be activated first to cool the cooling liquid, for example, the first refrigerator 1031 can be activated first to cool the cooling liquid, at this time the second refrigerator 1032 can cool the cooling liquid in its water tank, but the cooling liquid cooled by the second refrigerator 1032 does not circulate in the system. The cooling liquid cooled by the first refrigerator 1031 flows through the refrigeration object cooling area 105 and exchanges heat with the refrigeration object to cool the refrigeration object. Please refer to Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the cooling liquid flowing through the first cooling circuit according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. In Figure 3 , the direction of the arrow marked by the dashed line represents the flow direction of the cooling liquid. Referring to Figure 3 , it can be seen that when the refrigeration demand of the refrigeration object changes and requires more refrigeration capacity, or the temperature of the water tank of the first refrigerator 1031 has not been reduced to a usable temperature, the second refrigerator 1032 can be activated to cool the refrigeration object through the cooling liquid cooled by the second refrigerator 1032, and the use of the first refrigerator 1031 is suspended at this time. The first refrigerator 1031 can cool the cooling liquid in its water tank, but the cooling liquid cooled by the first refrigerator 1031 does not circulate in the system.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the cooling liquid flowing through the second cooling circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In Figure 4 , the direction of the arrow marked by the dashed line represents the flow direction of the cooling liquid. Referring to Figure 4As can be seen, when the cooling liquid flows through the second cooling circuit, one of the two refrigerators can be used to cool the cooling liquid first, for example, the second refrigerator 1032 can be used to cool the cooling liquid first, and the cooled cooling liquid can be discharged to the first cooling tank (any cooling tank in the cooling tank group), and the cooling liquid in the second cooling tank is used for heat exchange circulation, and the second refrigerator 1032 cools the cooling liquid in the second cooling tank. By such arrangement, one of the two cooling tanks can be used to naturally cool the cooling liquid alternately. The cooled cooling liquid can be discharged to one cooling tank for natural cooling first, and the naturally cooled cooling liquid in the other cooling tank is used for rapid cooling by the refrigerator, which can accelerate the refrigeration speed of the refrigerator for the cooling liquid, and when the refrigeration demand of the refrigeration object is high, the phenomenon of overloading of the refrigerator can be avoided, and the service life of the refrigerator can be improved.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the refrigerator cooling water circulation control system can further comprise a third refrigeration circuit comprising an inlet pipe 107, a cooling tank group 106, a second three-way valve 102, a cooling assembly 103, a third three-way valve 104, a refrigeration object cooling area 105, a first three-way valve 101, and a discharge pipe 108 connected in sequence by pipelines.
[0058] The inlet end of the inlet pipe 107 can be connected to a liquid supply device, the outlet end of the inlet pipe 107 can be connected to the inlet end of the cooling tank group 106, the outlet end of the refrigeration object cooling area 105 can be connected to the inlet end of the discharge pipe 108, and the outlet end of the discharge pipe 108 can be connected to a liquid storage device. The connection mode of other devices is consistent with that in the first refrigeration circuit, and will not be described here.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the cooling liquid flowing through the third cooling circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In Figure 5 , the arrow direction marked by the dashed line represents the flow direction of the cooling liquid. Please refer to Figure 5As can be seen, when the cooling liquid flows through the third cooling circuit, one of the two refrigerators can be first activated to cool the cooling liquid, for example, the second refrigerator 1032 can be first activated to cool the cooling liquid, the new cooling liquid provided by the liquid inlet pipe 107 can be cooled and then delivered to the cooling object cooling area 105 to cool the cooling object, and the heat-exchanged cooling liquid can be discharged from the system through the liquid outlet pipe 108. When the two refrigerators are alternately used for cooling, the new cooling liquid can be delivered to the two cooling tanks, the cooling liquid in the first cooling tank can be cooled by the second refrigerator 1032, the cooling liquid cooled by the second refrigerator 1032 can be cooled by the first refrigerator 1031 during the delivery process, and the heat-exchanged cooling liquid cooled by the second refrigerator 1032 can be cooled by the first refrigerator 1031 to cool the cooling object. By setting the refrigerators to cool the new cooling liquid, compared with cooling the circulating cooling liquid in the system, the cooling time of the cooling liquid by the refrigerator can be reduced, when the cooling demand of the cooling object is high, the two refrigerators and the two cooling tanks can be combined and alternately operated to improve the cooling speed of the cooling liquid, quickly reduce the temperature of the cooling liquid to the required temperature, reduce the cooling time of the cooling liquid, avoid overloading of the refrigerator, and also achieve uninterrupted cooling of the cooling object.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the liquid outlet pipe 108 is arranged at the bottom of the cooling tank. By arranging the liquid outlet pipe 108 at the bottom of the cooling tank, the cooling liquid can be first collected in one cooling tank, and when it is necessary to discharge the cooling liquid, the cooling liquid can be discharged from the cooling tank by gravity, and new cooling liquid can be injected into another cooling tank through the liquid inlet pipe 107. The liquid outlet pipe 108 can be provided with a water valve d, and the cooling liquid can be discharged from the cooling tank when the water valve d is opened.
[0061] In another possible implementation, a fourth three-way valve can be connected to the third end connecting pipe of the first three-way valve 101, the first end of the fourth three-way valve can be connected to the third end of the first three-way valve 101, the second end of the fourth three-way valve can be connected to the inlet end of the cooling tank group 106, and the third end of the fourth three-way valve can be connected to the liquid outlet pipe 108. By such arrangement, the discharge of the cooling liquid can be facilitated, the new cooling liquid can be directly introduced into the cooling tank through the liquid inlet pipe 107, and the heat-exchanged cooling liquid can be directly discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 108, so that the circulation of the cooling liquid can be accelerated.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the connection pipe between the cooling object cooling area 105 and the third three-way valve 104 is provided with a first circulating pump 109.
[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the second circulating pump 110 is arranged on the connecting pipeline at the outlet end of the cooling box group 106.
[0064] It should be noted that the circulating pump can be used to increase the pressure of the refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system to drive the cooling liquid to circulate in each cooling circuit and ensure that the temperature of the refrigeration object is within an appropriate temperature range.
[0065] When the refrigeration machine (including the first refrigeration machine 1031 and the second refrigeration machine 1032) and the circulating pump (including the first circulating pump 109 and the second circulating pump 110) are working, the refrigeration machine and the circulating pump are working at the optimal power. The refrigeration machine and the circulating pump can be adjusted within their respective optimal operating power ranges. The optimal operating power range of the circulating pump can be 80% to 100% of the rated power, and the optimal operating power range of the refrigeration machine can be 70% to 100% of the rated power.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system can further include a first temperature detection module 111 for detecting the temperature at the outlet end of the refrigeration object cooling area 105, a second temperature detection module 112 for detecting the temperature of each cooling box in the cooling box group 106, a third temperature detection module 113 for detecting the temperature of the cooling water tank c of the first refrigeration machine 1031, and a fourth temperature detection module 114 for detecting the temperature of the cooling water tank c of the second refrigeration machine 1032.
[0067] The temperature detection module can be a temperature sensor or a thermal imager. When the temperature detection module is a temperature sensor, the first temperature detection module 111 can be arranged on the pipeline at the outlet end of the refrigeration object cooling area 105, the number of second temperature detection modules 112 can correspond to the number of cooling boxes, and the second temperature detection modules 112 can be arranged on the surface of each cooling box. The third temperature detection module 113 can be arranged on the surface of the cooling water tank c of the first refrigeration machine 1031, and the fourth temperature detection module 114 can be arranged on the surface of the cooling water tank c of the second refrigeration machine 1032.
[0068] Detecting the temperature of the refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system can facilitate control of the refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system, so that each cooling circuit and refrigeration machine can be switched when the temperature meets the preset conditions, and the refrigeration object can be cooled by the corresponding cooling circuit and refrigeration machine.
[0069] Figure 6 is a flow chart of a refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control method can be applied to the refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control system provided in any of the above embodiments. As shown in Figure 6 the exemplary refrigeration machine cooling water circulation control method includes:
[0070] Step S610, obtaining a first cooling temperature.
[0071] The first cooling temperature is the temperature of the cooling water tank of the enabled chiller in the cooling assembly.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the first cooling temperature can be obtained by a second temperature detection module arranged on the surface of the cooling water tank of the chiller.
[0073] Step S620, when the first cooling temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset value, the enabled chiller in the cooling assembly is turned off, and another chiller in the cooling assembly is enabled, so that the two chillers in the cooling assembly are alternately used for refrigeration.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, when the first cooling temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset value, the enabled chiller in the cooling assembly is turned off, and another chiller in the cooling assembly is enabled, so that the two chillers in the cooling assembly are alternately used for refrigeration.
[0075] In a possible implementation, the enabled chiller can use the cooling liquid circulating in the chiller cooling water circulation control system for refrigeration.
[0076] In another possible implementation, the enabled chiller alternately uses the cooling liquid in the two cooling tanks for refrigeration.
[0077] For example, the other chiller in the cooling assembly can be a second chiller, the cooling liquid in the first cooling tank can be delivered to the second chiller for cooling, the cooled cooling liquid of the second chiller can be delivered to the cooling area of the refrigeration object to cool the refrigeration object, and the cooled cooling liquid in the cooling area of the refrigeration object can be discharged to the first cooling tank for natural cooling. While cooling the refrigeration object, the cooling liquid in the second cooling tank can be delivered to the second chiller to realize the alternately use of the chillers and the alternately use of the cooling tanks, so as to improve the cooling speed, reduce the probability of overloading of the chiller, and improve the service life of the chiller.
[0078] In an embodiment, the chiller cooling water circulation control method provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include steps S710 to S730.
[0079] Step S710, obtaining a second cooling temperature.
[0080] The second cooling temperature is the temperature of the cooling water tank of the disabled chiller in the cooling assembly.
[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the second cooling temperature can be obtained by a second temperature detection module arranged on the surface of the cooling water tank of the chiller.
[0082] Step S720, when the second cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and the difference between the first water tank temperature and the first preset value is less than or equal to the preset difference, injecting new cooling liquid into the first cooling tank through the liquid inlet pipe, discharging the circulating cooling liquid in the pipeline to the second cooling tank in the cooling tank group, and discharging through the liquid outlet pipe connected to the second cooling tank.
[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, when the second cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and the difference between the first water tank temperature and the first preset value is less than or equal to the preset difference, it indicates that the enabled refrigerator has failed to cool the cooling liquid to the required temperature in a short time, and even if the disabled refrigerator is enabled, the cooling demand of the refrigeration object cannot be met. At this time, new cooling liquid can be injected into the first cooling tank through the liquid inlet pipe, the circulating cooling liquid in the pipeline is discharged to the second cooling tank in the cooling tank group, and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe connected to the second cooling tank. In this way, the cooling liquid after the refrigeration of the refrigerator can meet the cooling demand of the refrigeration object. The first cooling tank is any one of the two cooling tanks, and the second cooling tank is the other one of the two cooling tanks.
[0084] Step S730, delivering the new cooling liquid in the first cooling tank to the enabled refrigerator for cooling.
[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the new cooling liquid in the first cooling tank can be delivered to the enabled refrigerator for cooling. The new cooling liquid has a lower temperature than the heat-exchanged cooling liquid, which can improve the cooling speed of the refrigerator.
[0086] In an embodiment, the refrigerator cooling water circulation control method can further include: when the first cooling temperature is less than the first preset value, the second cooling temperature is less than the first cooling temperature, the real-time temperature of the refrigeration object cooling area is greater than the third preset value, and the temperature change rate of the refrigeration object cooling area is greater than the fourth preset value, closing the enabled refrigerator in the cooling assembly, and enabling another refrigerator in the cooling assembly.
[0087] For example, Tn is the temperature of the refrigeration object at the nth moment, Tn-1 is the temperature of the refrigeration object at the (n-1)th moment, and Δt is the time difference between the nth moment and the (n-1)th moment. Then the temperature change rate V of the refrigeration object is Tn = (Tn-Tn-1) / Δt.
