[0040] In this technical solution, the multiple heat exchangers of the heat exchanger group can perform staged cooling and separation on refrigerants with different boiling points.
[0041] In the circulation module, one end of the water pump 32 far away from the heater 31 is connected to the user end. A first solenoid valve 33 is arranged at the inlet and outlet positions of the user end. The other end of the first solenoid valve 33 is respectively connected to a second solenoid valve 34 and a fifteenth solenoid valve 54.

[0052] In addition, a third temperature sensor 24 is connected to one end of the fifth heat exchanger 5. A fifth temperature sensor 25 is provided between the fifth heat exchanger 5 and the third electronic expansion valve 16. A second pressure sensor 26 and a fifth temperature sensor 27 are provided between the first heat exchanger 5 and the compressor 1.
[0053] For the refrigeration module, it includes the following working process.
[0054] A variety of low-temperature and low-pressure mixed refrigerants (refrigerants with three or more different boiling points at different temperatures) are sucked in from the suction port of the compressor 1, compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure mixed gas, and the oil in the gas is separated by the oil separator 2. The separated oil returns to the compressor again. The mixed gas after being separated by the oil separator enters the condenser 3 and is forced to dissipate heat and condense into a low-temperature and high-pressure gas-liquid mixture (the high-boiling refrigerant condenses into a liquid) through the first fan 4.
[0055] The gas-liquid mixture enters the first heat exchanger 6 to further cool the high-boiling refrigerant into a liquid. The gas-liquid mixture after being cooled by the first heat exchanger 6 enters the first gas-liquid separator 11 to separate the gas-liquid mixture into gas and liquid phases.
[0056] The high-boiling-point liquid refrigerant exits from the third channel 113 of the first gas-liquid separator 11, and after throttling and pressure reduction by the first electronic expansion valve 14, the high-boiling-point liquid refrigerant is mixed with the refrigerant after returning from the third heat exchanger 8.
[0057] The medium- and low-boiling-point gaseous mixed refrigerant enters the second heat exchanger 7 through the second channel 112 of the first gas-liquid separator 11 for heat exchange, and in the second heat exchanger 7, the intermediate-boiling-point refrigerant in the medium- and low-boiling-point gaseous mixture is condensed into a liquid.
[0058] The medium- and low-boiling-point gas-liquid mixed refrigerant exiting from the second heat exchanger 7 enters the second gas-liquid separator 12 for separation. The intermediate-boiling-point liquid refrigerant exits from the channel 123, and after throttling and pressure reduction by the second electronic expansion valve 15, the intermediate-boiling-point liquid refrigerant is mixed with the refrigerant after returning from the fourth heat exchanger 9.
[0059] The low-boiling-point refrigerant exits from the channel 122 and enters the third heat exchanger 8, where the low-boiling-point refrigerant is further condensed into a low temperature, and the mixed medium- and high-boiling-point refrigerant in the low-boiling-point refrigerant is further cooled into a low-temperature liquid, making the low-temperature refrigerant purer.
[0060] The refrigerant after heat exchange in the third heat exchanger 8 enters the third gas-liquid separator 13. In the third gas-liquid separator, the separated liquid medium- and high-boiling-point refrigerant exits from the channel 133, and after throttling by the third electronic expansion valve 16, it is mixed with the refrigerant after returning from the second heat exchanger 7.
[0061] The low-boiling-point gaseous refrigerant enters the fourth heat exchanger 9 and is further condensed into a liquid refrigerant, then enters the fifth heat exchanger 10 for heat exchange and becomes a subcooled liquid. The subcooled liquid after heat exchange in the fifth heat exchanger 10 passes through the fourth electronic expansion valve 17 for throttling and pressure reduction to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and then returns to the fifth heat exchanger 10 to exchange heat with the circulating liquid (channels 103, 104) and the low-boiling-point subcooled liquid (channels 101, 102). The low-boiling-point gas-liquid mixture absorbs the heat of the compressed air and the subcooled liquid and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, so that the temperature of the circulating liquid and the low-boiling-point subcooled liquid decreases. The low-boiling-point refrigerant gas exiting from the channel 105 returns to the fourth heat exchanger 9. Similarly, the low-boiling-point low-temperature refrigerant returning from the channel 105 to the channel 95 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the channels 91, 92 and the circulating liquid in the channels 93, 94 respectively.
[0062] The refrigerant returning from the fourth heat exchanger 9 is mixed with the medium-boiling refrigerant after throttling by the second electronic expansion valve 15 and enters the third heat exchanger. The mixed refrigerant exchanges heat with the circulating liquid in the refrigerant channels 83 and 84 of channels 81 and 82 in the third heat exchanger 8. The mixed refrigerant from channel 85 of the third heat exchanger 8 is mixed with the high-boiling refrigerant after throttling by the first electronic expansion valve 14 and enters the second heat exchanger 7. The mixed refrigerant exchanges heat with the circulating liquid in the refrigerant channels 73 and 74 of channels 71 and 72 in the second heat exchanger 7.
[0063] The mixed working medium from channel 75 of the second heat exchanger 7 is mixed with the refrigerant after throttling by the third electronic expansion valve 16 and enters the first heat exchanger 6. The mixed refrigerant exchanges heat with the circulating liquid in the refrigerant channels 63 and 6 of channels 65 and 66 in the first heat exchanger 6. The mixed working medium after heat exchange in the first heat exchanger exits from channel 63 and returns to the suction port of the compressor 1.
[0064] For the circulation module, it includes the following working processes.
[0065] Since it includes several segmented temperature control modes, it mainly includes a high-temperature segment mode, a medium-normal temperature segment mode, and a low-temperature segment mode.
[0066] For the high-temperature segment mode, more specifically, in this embodiment, medium-high temperature segment temperature control circulation (+40°C to +300°C) is adopted.

The first solenoid valve 33 is installed at the inlet and outlet positions of the user terminal. The first solenoid valve 33 plays a bypass role.

The temperature of the circulating liquid is controlled by jointly controlling and adjusting the temperature of the circulating liquid through the heater 31, the sixth heat exchanger 35, and the second fan 36.
[0068] For the medium and normal temperature range mode, this embodiment includes adopting a medium and normal temperature range temperature control cycle (+25~+40°C).

Then it passes through the sixth solenoid valve 40, the seventh solenoid valve 41, the ninth solenoid valve 43, the eleventh solenoid valve 45, and the thirteenth solenoid valve 47 in sequence, and finally returns to the heater 31. The temperature of the circulating liquid is controlled by jointly adjusting the opening degrees of the heater 31 and the first electronic expansion valve 14 of the refrigeration module.
[0070] For the low temperature range mode, this embodiment adopts a low and normal temperature range temperature control cycle (+25~-20°C), a low temperature range temperature control cycle (-20°C~-70°C), a deep low temperature range temperature control cycle (-70°C~-110°C), and an ultra-low temperature range temperature control cycle (-110°C~-150°C).

Then it successively passes through the eighth solenoid valve 42, the ninth solenoid valve 43, the eleventh solenoid valve 45, the thirteenth solenoid valve 47, and finally returns to the heater 31.
