[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, water is used as the refrigerant.

The inlet of the three-way valve at the water-side outlet of the microchannel condenser is communicated with the water-side outlet of the microchannel condenser. The three-way valve at the water-side outlet of the microchannel condenser has two outlets, which are respectively communicated with the cold water outlet and the hot water outlet of the adsorption bed 101.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fuel cell 201 is a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and deionized water is selected as the coolant of the fuel cell 201.
[0040] The working process of the present invention:
[0041] The working circuits of the present invention for summer refrigeration and winter heating are not completely the same, including the summer adsorption refrigeration mode and the winter heating mode.
[0042] In the summer adsorption refrigeration mode, in the fuel cell thermal management system, the ninth regulating valve 215, the tenth regulating valve 216, the eleventh regulating valve 217, the twelfth regulating valve 218, the fifth regulating valve 211, and the sixth regulating valve 212 are opened, and the seventh regulating valve 213 and the eighth regulating valve 214 are closed.
[0043] Specifically, the eleventh regulating valve 217 and the twelfth regulating valve 218 are opened to provide driving force for the desorption of the adsorption bed; the ninth regulating valve 215 and the tenth regulating valve 216 are opened to provide driving force for the adsorption of the adsorption bed. The first regulating valve 207, the second regulating valve 208, the third regulating valve 209, and the fourth regulating valve 210 are main circuit valves. By reducing their opening degrees and opening the bypass valve, the flow direction of the water can be controlled to the bypass.
[0044] In the coolant passage of the fuel cell, a first solenoid valve 206 is provided at the outlet of the radiator of the fuel cell 201 to regulate the flow rate. Then, the coolant exchanges heat with the compressed air at the outlet of the air compressor 205. The coolant is heated and at the same time takes away the heat of the compressed air. Subsequently, the hot coolant can enter the adsorption refrigeration system for heat exchange, which can drive the desorption process of the adsorption bed. The coolant flows in through the fifth regulating valve 211 and flows out through the sixth regulating valve 212. During this process, the first regulating valve 207 reduces the opening degree to ensure that there is water flowing to the bypass where the fifth regulating valve 211 and the sixth regulating valve 212 are located. Subsequently, the coolant enters the air heat exchanger 203 to dissipate a large amount of heat, significantly reducing the temperature of the coolant. Subsequently, the low-temperature coolant flows into the condenser 102 in the adsorption refrigeration cycle system through the ninth regulating valve 215 and flows out through the tenth regulating valve 216, condensing the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid in the adsorption refrigeration cycle system into a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid. During this process, the third regulating valve 209 reduces the opening degree to ensure that there is water flowing to the bypass where the ninth regulating valve 215 and the tenth regulating valve 216 are located. Subsequently, the low-temperature coolant flows into the adsorption bed in the adsorption refrigeration system through the eleventh regulating valve 217 and flows out through the twelfth regulating valve 218. During this process, the fourth regulating valve 210 reduces the opening degree to ensure that there is water flowing to the bypass where the eleventh regulating valve 217 and the twelfth regulating valve 218 are located. Subsequently, the coolant flows into the heat dissipation device of the fuel cell 201 under the drive of the water pump 204 for heat exchange, cooling the fuel cell 201 so that the fuel cell 201 can operate normally without overheating.
[0045] When the first adsorption device 1011 is in the desorption state, the hot deionized water flowing into the adsorption bed 101 through the hot water inlet enters the first adsorption device 1011 through the three-way valve at the water side inlet of the first adsorption device 1011, and serves as a heat source to drive desorption. Subsequently, it passes through the three-way valve at the water side outlet of the first adsorption device 1011, exits through the hot water outlet of the adsorption bed 101, and returns to the fuel cell thermal management cycle through the sixth regulating valve 212. At the same time, the second adsorption device 1012 is in the adsorption state, and the cold deionized water flowing into the adsorption bed 101 through the cold water inlet enters the second adsorption device 1012 through the three-way valve at the water side inlet of the second adsorption device 1012, and serves as a cold source to drive adsorption. Subsequently, it passes through the three-way valve at the water side outlet of the second adsorption device 1012, exits through the cold water outlet of the adsorption bed 101, and returns to the fuel cell thermal management cycle through the twelfth regulating valve 218. After completing their respective processes, the first adsorption device 1011 changes to the adsorption state, and the second adsorption device 1012 changes to the desorption state. Such an alternating cycle is carried out to continuously output high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant and adsorb medium-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant. The working fluid flow rate is controlled by the opening degree of the regulating valve 104, thereby achieving precise control of the refrigerating capacity. The top-mounted air-conditioning heat exchange system can distinguish the air flow directions in winter and summer conditions. In the summer condition, outdoor air enters the pipeline through the second three-way valve 304, flows along the pipeline into the evaporator 103, transfers heat to the adsorption refrigeration cycle, and the outlet is low-temperature gas, which is introduced into the vehicle through the first three-way valve 303 to provide cool air.
[0046] In the winter heating mode, the seventh regulating valve 213 and the eighth regulating valve 214 are opened, the opening degree of the second regulating valve 208 is reduced, and the first regulating valve 207, the third regulating valve 209, and the fourth regulating valve 210 remain open. All valves in the adsorption refrigeration system do not work, and the adsorption refrigeration system does not work. Specifically, the regulating valve 104, the second solenoid valve 105, the third solenoid valve 106, the fifth regulating valve 211, the sixth regulating valve 212, the ninth regulating valve 215, the tenth regulating valve 216, the eleventh regulating valve 217, and the twelfth regulating valve 218 are all closed. In the fuel cell thermal management system, for the flow of the coolant, specifically, the coolant passage of the fuel cell 201 can adjust the flow rate through the first solenoid valve 206, and then the coolant enters the first plate heat exchanger 202 to exchange heat with the compressed air. The coolant is heated and at the same time takes away the heat of the compressed air. Subsequently, the hot coolant enters the air heater 301 to increase the temperature of the air entering the overhead air-conditioning heat exchange system. Subsequently, the coolant enters the air heat exchanger 203 to dissipate a large amount of heat, significantly reducing the coolant temperature. Subsequently, the cooling water flows into the cooling device of the fuel cell 201 driven by the water pump 204 to take away the heat of the fuel cell 201, enabling the fuel cell 201 to work properly without overheating. In the overhead air-conditioning heat exchange system, outdoor air enters the pipeline through the second three-way valve 304, absorbs the heat from the hot coolant in the fuel cell thermal management system, and the outlet air temperature is relatively high. It is introduced into the vehicle for heating through the first three-way valve 303.
[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can still adjust the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention also intends to include these changes and variations.
