Description

Technical Field

[0002] In related technologies, some air handling units can make the air reach good quality through filtration, purification and temperature and humidity adjustment. Some components in the unit (such as the electric control box) are cooled, with high temperature and slow heat dissipation, which easily leads to component burnout and the unit entering overheat protection. In addition, during the operation of the unit, condensate water continuously drops at the evaporation section, and this condensate water is usually directly discharged outside the unit.

[0003] Some air handling units can pump condensate water through a water pump and spray it onto the radiator through an atomizing nozzle to cool down.

[0071] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a condensed water treatment system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The condensed water treatment system includes: a cooled device 1, a water collection device 2, a water pump 3, a heat dissipation device 4, a water supply device 5, and a control device 6. Among them:

[0072] The water pump 3 is respectively connected to the water collecting device 2 and the heat dissipation device 4. For example, the water pump 3 can be physically connected to the water collecting device 2 and the heat dissipation device 4 through pipelines.

[0073] The heat dissipation device 4 is also respectively connected to the device to be cooled 1 and the water supply device 5. For example, the heat dissipation device 4 can also be directly or indirectly connected to the device to be cooled 1. The heat dissipation device 4 can also be physically connected to the water supply device 5 through a pipeline.

[0074] The control device 6 is respectively connected to the device to be cooled 1 and the water pump 3. For example, the control device 6 can be signal-connected to the device to be cooled 1 and the water pump 3 in a wired or wireless manner.

[0075] The water collecting device 2 is used for: collecting condensed water and storing the condensed water. For example, the water collecting device 2 can be arranged at the place where the condensed water drips, or the water collecting device 2 can be connected to the evaporation section through a pipeline. In addition, the water collecting device 2 can be provided with a container for storing the condensed water.

[0076] The control device 6 is used for: detecting the temperature of the device to be cooled 1; and based on the temperature, controlling the water pump 3 to start or stop transporting the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4.

[0077] As an example, the control device 6 can include a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the device to be cooled 1.

[0078] After obtaining the above temperature, if the temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, then, the water pump 3 can be controlled to start transporting the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4; if the temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold, then, the water pump 3 can be controlled to stop transporting the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4.

[0079] Or, after obtaining the above temperature, if the duration for which the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold is greater than or equal to a preset duration, then, the water pump 3 can be controlled to start transporting the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4; if the temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold, or, the duration for which the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold is less than the preset duration, then, the water pump 3 can be controlled to stop transporting the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4.

[0080] The heat dissipation device 4 is used for: absorbing the heat of the device to be cooled 1 and transferring the heat to the condensed water.

[0081] The water supply device 5 is used for: filtering the condensed water discharged from the heat dissipation device 4 to obtain domestic water.

[0082] Next, please refer to Figure 2 ,Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of another condensed water treatment system provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0083] In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, to solve the technical problem in the prior art of how to reduce or even avoid the influence of the use of condensed water on the electric control box and improve the utilization degree of condensed water, the device to be cooled 1 includes an electric control box 11 and a housing 12 of the electric control box 11.

[0084] A first water outlet is provided at the bottom of the housing 12.

[0085] Among them, the first water outlet may be a water outlet provided at the bottom of the housing 12.

[0086] The control device 6 is connected to the first water outlet.

[0087] The control device 6 is further configured to: when the water pump 3 stops delivering the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4, control the first water outlet to open so as to discharge the condensed water inside the housing 12 to the water supply device 5.

[0088] It can be understood that in the above optional implementation manners, by providing the housing of the electric control box, the influence on the electric control box caused by the use of condensed water can be reduced or even avoided. When the water pump stops delivering the condensed water to the heat dissipation device, the condensed water inside the housing is discharged to the water supply device, and the water supply device can collect more condensed water, thereby improving the utilization degree of condensed water.

[0089] In some application scenarios of the above optional implementation manners, to solve the technical problem in the prior art of how to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the device to be cooled 1 further includes a fan 13.

[0090] The fan 13 is arranged inside the housing 12.

[0091] The control device 6 is connected to the fan 13.

[0092] The control device 6 is further configured to: control the rotation speed of the fan 13 based on the temperature. In some cases, the above rotation speed may be positively correlated with the above temperature.

[0093] In this case, the above temperature may be the temperature of the electric control box.

[0094] It can be understood that in the above application scenarios, the rotation speed of the fan arranged on the housing of the electric control box can be adjusted according to the temperature of the electric control box. Thus, the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric control box can be improved.

[0095] In some alternative implementation manners of this embodiment, to solve the technical problem of how to improve the heat dissipation efficiency in the prior art, the condensate water treatment system further includes a flow control valve 7. The water pump 3 is connected to the heat dissipation device 4 through the flow control valve.

[0096] The flow control valve is further connected to the control device 6.

[0097] The control device 6 is further configured to: control the flow rate of the condensate water flowing through the flow control valve based on the temperature.

[0098] In this case, the above temperature may be the temperature of the electric control box.

[0099] In some cases, the flow rate of the condensate water may be positively correlated with the above temperature.

[0100] It can be understood that in the above alternative implementation manners, the flow rate of the condensate water can be adjusted by the temperature of the electric control box, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric control box.

[0101] In some alternative implementation manners of this embodiment, to solve the technical problem of how to improve the collection efficiency of the condensate water in the heat dissipation device in the prior art, the condensate water treatment system further includes a bracket.

[0102] The heat dissipation device 4 is detachably connected to the device to be cooled 1 through the bracket.

[0103] It can be understood that in the above alternative implementation manners, the heat dissipation device is detachably connected to the device to be cooled through the bracket, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensate water in the heat dissipation device.

[0104] In some application scenarios of the above alternative implementation manners, to solve the technical problem of how to reduce the generation of condensate water in the heat dissipation device in the prior art, the distance between the heat dissipation device 4 and the device to be cooled 1 is 1 cm to 2 cm.

[0105] It can be understood that in the above application scenarios, since the distance between the heat dissipation device and the device to be cooled is 1 cm to 2 cm, the generation of condensate water in the heat dissipation device can be reduced.

[0106] In some alternative implementation manners of this embodiment, to solve the technical problem of how to improve the utilization degree of the condensate water in the prior art, the heat dissipation device 4 includes a water tank 41.

[0107] The water tank 41 is provided with a water inlet and a second water outlet.

[0108] Wherein, the second water outlet may be the water outlet of the water tank 41.

[0109] The second water outlet is connected to the water supply device 5.

[0110] The control device 6 is further configured to: when the water pump 3 stops delivering the condensed water to the heat dissipation device 4, control the second water outlet to open so as to discharge the condensed water inside the water tank 41 to the water supply device 5.

[0111] It can be understood that in the above optional implementation, when the water pump stops delivering the condensed water to the heat dissipation device, the condensed water inside the water tank is discharged to the water supply device, and the water supply device can collect more condensed water, thereby improving the utilization degree of the condensed water.

[0112] In some application scenarios of the above optional implementation, to solve the technical problem of how to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency in the prior art, the heat dissipation device 4 further includes a heat pipe 42. A groove is provided on the surface of the water tank 41, and the heat pipe 42 is embedded in the groove.

[0113] It can be understood that in the above application scenario, by embedding the heat pipe into the groove of the heat dissipation device, the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.

[0114] In some application scenarios of the above optional implementation, to solve the technical problem of how to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency in the prior art, the heat dissipation device 4 further includes fins. The water tank 41 is provided with barbs, and the fins are hung on the barbs.

[0115] It can be understood that in the above application scenario, since the fins are hung on the barbs of the heat dissipation device, the contact area between the fins and the water tank can be increased, and thus the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.

[0116] The condensate water treatment system provided by the embodiments of the present application includes: a device to be cooled, a water collection device, a water pump, a heat dissipation device, a water supply device, and a control device; wherein: the water pump is respectively connected to the water collection device and the heat dissipation device; the heat dissipation device is also respectively connected to the device to be cooled and the water supply device; the control device is respectively connected to the device to be cooled and the water pump; the water collection device is used for: collecting condensate water and storing the condensate water; the control device is used for: detecting the temperature of the device to be cooled; based on the temperature, controlling the water pump to start or stop transporting the condensate water to the heat dissipation device; the heat dissipation device is used for: absorbing the heat of the device to be cooled and transferring the heat to the condensate water; the water supply device is used for: filtering the condensate water discharged from the heat dissipation device to obtain domestic water. Thus, the process of using condensate water for heat dissipation and water supply can be controlled by the temperature of the device to be cooled, and since all the condensate water is preferentially used for heat dissipation and then used as domestic water, the heat dissipation efficiency and the degree of full utilization of condensate water can be taken into account.

[0117] The embodiments of the present application will be described exemplarily below. However, it should be noted that the following content is only used to understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0118] The air handling unit on an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) ship is an important device for making the air in the cabin reach good quality by filtering, purifying, and adjusting temperature and humidity. Problems such as high temperature and slow heat dissipation in the electric control box in the unit leading to component burnout and the unit entering overheat protection have not been well solved. The commonly used air-cooled heat dissipation method has limited effects in extreme environments and has problems such as low efficiency and high noise. During the operation of the unit, condensate water continuously drops at the evaporation section, and these condensate waters are generally directly discharged outside the machine. How to reasonably utilize these condensate waters has become a thorny problem.

[0119] In view of this, in this solution, the heat emitted by the high-temperature electric control box is absorbed by the heat pipe and transferred to the relatively low-temperature condensate water for heat exchange to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature of the electric control box. Then, the condensate water after heat exchange is filtered to obtain domestic water. Thus, in extreme environments, the problem that the traditional heat dissipation method has low heat dissipation efficiency and cannot meet the requirements during high-load operation can be solved. Also, the problem that the high temperature of the electric control box in the traditional solution causes electronic component failures and even safety accidents such as fires can be solved. Moreover, the problem that a large amount of condensate water is directly discharged outside the machine without being reasonably utilized can be solved.

[0120] In this solution, the condensed water produced in the evaporation section is collected by a heat-insulated bucket (i.e., the above-mentioned water collection device), and the real-time temperature is detected by a temperature sensor in the electric control box (installed in the above-mentioned cooled device) to start the water pump to transport the condensed water into the water tank (i.e., the above-mentioned heat dissipation device). The heat pipe timely absorbs the heat discharged from the electric control box and transfers it to the condensed water, thereby dissipating the heat of the electric control box, and then discharging it into the filtering device for simple water quality purification and used as domestic water.

[0121] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of another condensed water treatment system provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0122] The water collection device 2 may include a water receiving tray 21, an evaporator 22, and a heat-insulated bucket 23.

[0123] The condensed water dropped from the evaporation section of the unit is collected on the water receiving tray 21 and discharged into the heat-insulated bucket 23 through the water outlet for storage, so that the temperature of the condensed water is not affected by the external temperature, and it is connected to the water pump 3.

[0124] The cooled device 1 includes an electric control box 11, a housing 12, and a fan 13. Among them, the electric control box 11 and the housing 12 form a double-door electric control box. The electric control box 11 uses the double-door electric control box method, adding a housing 12 of an electric control box 11 outside the existing electric control box 11, and making the inside of the electric control box 11 completely airtight to isolate contact with the external air, and placing a special desiccant for the distribution box to keep the inside of the electric control box 11 dry. A small water outlet (i.e., the above-mentioned first water outlet) is provided at the bottom of the newly added electric control box 11. When the unit stops working, this water outlet is automatically opened to discharge part of the condensed water generated due to the temperature difference between the electric control box 11 and the housing 12; two small fans 13 are placed suspended at the left and right ends between the electric control box 11 and the housing 12, and their function is to accelerate the internal air circulation and promote the heat pipe 42 to quickly absorb heat. Four brackets are added to the outer surface of the housing 12 to place the subsequent water-cooled radiator (i.e., the above-mentioned heat dissipation device).

[0125] The water-cooled radiator box includes heat pipes 42, a water tank 41 and fins. The water tank 41 is made of copper in the shape of a cuboid. There is a lower water inlet and two upper and lower water outlets (i.e., the above-mentioned second water outlets) on both sides of the water tank 41. The lower water outlet will only open automatically after the device is shut down to drain the residual condensed water in the water tank 41. Dozens of through long grooves are provided on the surface of the water tank 41, and the heat pipes 42 are embedded in the long grooves on the surface of the water tank 41 to ensure good heat transfer of the heat pipes 42 without actually contacting the condensed water. A row of barbs is provided at the top and bottom of the front of the water tank 41 to tightly hang the fins on the upper and lower barbs, increasing the heat exchange area and promoting the heat exchange between the internal air and the heat pipes 42. The water-cooled radiator box is placed on four brackets on the outer surface of the newly added electric control box 11 and kept at a distance of 1-2 cm.

[0126] The intelligent control system integrates a temperature sensor 61, a flow control valve 7, an automatic switch valve controller and an intelligent switch controller. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0127] A temperature sensor 61 and an intelligent switch controller are set on the electric control box 11. The temperature sensor 61 monitors the temperature change in the electric control box 11 in real time. The intelligent switch controller of the water pump 3 sets three temperature thresholds to determine when to start and stop the water pump 3. When the temperature of the electric control box 11 is greater than 20 degrees Celsius, the water pump 3 is turned on to suck in the condensed water; when the temperature of the electric control box 11 is lower than 20 degrees Celsius, the water pump 3 is turned off to stop sucking.

[0128] An intelligent switch controller is installed on two small fans 13, and a flow control valve 7 is set at the water pump 3 port. According to the temperature of the electric control box 11 feedback by the temperature sensor 61, it controls the flow of condensed water into the pipeline and whether to increase the internal air circulation. When the temperature of the electric control box 11 is greater than 20 degrees Celsius, the water pump 3 is turned on and the flow is small, and the fans 13 are in the off state; when the temperature is greater than 35 degrees Celsius, the flow is medium and the fans 13 are turned on at a slow speed; when the temperature is greater than 50 degrees Celsius, the flow is large and the speed is fast.

[0129] An automatic switch valve controller is set at the lower water outlet of the water tank 41 and the bottom of the outer electric control box 11. When the unit starts to work, the valve will be closed; when the unit stops working, the valve will be opened to drain the remaining condensed water in the water tank 41 and the outer electric control box 11.

[0130] The water tank 41 discharges the condensed water after heat exchange into the filtering device 51. Through the filtering medium composed of granular materials such as sand and activated carbon, the impurities, harmful substances and peculiar smell in the water are removed, and then it flows into the ordinary water tank 41 and is used as domestic water.

[0131] See Figure 3 , Figure 3Schematic flow diagram of a condensate water treatment method provided by an embodiment of the present application. When the unit starts to operate, the condensate water gathers in the heat preservation bucket 23. When the temperature of the electronic control box 11 is greater than 20 degrees Celsius, the water pump 3 starts to pump the condensate water in the heat preservation bucket 23 into the water tank 41. At this time, the heat dissipated by the electronic control box 11 is absorbed by the heat pipe 42 and exchanges heat with the condensate water in the water tank 41. As the temperature of the electronic control box 11 rises, the fans 13 at both ends of the newly added electronic control box 11 start to rotate, accelerating the internal air circulation. More heat will be absorbed by the heat pipe 42, and the flow rate of the condensate water sent by the water pump 3 will gradually increase. After heat exchange in the water tank 41, it is discharged into the filtration device 51 for water filtration to obtain domestic water, which is stored in the water storage tank 41. After the unit stops operating, the lower water outlet of the water tank 41 and the water outlet at the bottom of the outer electronic control box 11 are automatically opened to discharge the remaining condensate water in the water tank 41 and part of the condensate water generated due to the temperature difference.

For specific details, please refer to the above description. For the sake of brevity, it will not be elaborated here.

[0133] In this solution, the condensate water is naturally generated during the operation of the unit, which is green and environmentally friendly and saves energy. The condensate water has a low temperature and a large specific heat capacity of water, can absorb more heat and the temperature rises relatively slowly, and can effectively reduce the temperature of the electronic control box. With the help of the super heat conductivity of the heat pipe, the heat of the electronic control box is absorbed and transferred to the condensate water to take away the heat, greatly improving the cooling efficiency.

[0134] Figure 4 Schematic flow diagram of a condensate water treatment method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. This method can be applied to one or more electronic devices such as an air handling unit, a control device in an air handling unit, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a portable computer, a server, etc. In addition, the execution subject of this method can be hardware or software.

When the above execution subject is software, this method can be implemented as multiple software or software modules, or can be implemented as a single software or software module. No specific limitation is made here.

[0135] The method is applied to a control device, and the control device is the control device in the above condensate water treatment system, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0136] Step 101, detecting the temperature of the device to be cooled.

[0137] In this embodiment, the temperature of the device to be cooled can be detected by a temperature sensor in the condensate water treatment system.

[0138] Step 102, based on the temperature, control the water pump to start or stop delivering the condensate water to the heat dissipation device; and / or, based on the temperature, control the rotation speed of the fan; and / or, based on the temperature, control the flow rate of the condensate water flowing through the flow control valve.

[0139] In this embodiment, after obtaining the above temperature, at least one of the following controls can be performed according to the temperature:

[0140] First, based on the temperature, control the water pump to start or stop delivering the condensate water to the heat dissipation device.

[0141] Second, based on the temperature, control the rotation speed of the fan.

[0142] Third, based on the temperature, control the flow rate of the condensate water flowing through the flow control valve.

[0143] In some alternative implementation manners of this embodiment, to solve the technical problem in the prior art of how to improve the utilization degree of condensate water, when the water pump stops delivering the condensate water to the heat dissipation device, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0144] First, control the first water outlet to open to discharge the condensate water inside the housing to the water supply device.

[0145] Second, control the second water outlet to open to discharge the condensate water inside the water tank to the water supply device.

[0146] It can be understood that in the above alternative implementation manners, by discharging the condensate water inside the electric control box housing or the water tank to the water supply device when the water pump stops delivering the condensate water to the heat dissipation device, the water supply device can collect more condensate water, thereby improving the utilization degree of condensate water.
