Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-efficiency hot water cooling system for a machine-side cooling station and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The existing machine-side cooling in the market is a one-stage cooling system that is directly connected in series with the chiller, and a two-stage cooling system is used to assist in cooling the water. The circulation state of the hot water cannot be adjusted according to the amount of cooling water, which greatly wastes energy. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency hot water cooling system for a machine-side cooling station and a method for using the same.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a high-efficiency hot water cooling system of a machine-side cooling station, including a hot water tank, a constant temperature tank and a mold. A bypass valve is provided between the hot water tank and the constant temperature tank. The cooling water of the constant temperature tank flows through the mold and then returns to the hot water tank. A high-pressure water supply pump and a normal-pressure water supply pump are installed between the water outlet of the constant temperature tank and the water inlet of the mold. The water outlet of the hot water tank is connected to a hot water circulation pump through a pipe. The water outlet of the hot water circulation pump is connected to a heat exchanger and a drain valve through a pipe. A first hot water on-off valve and a second hot water on-off valve are respectively installed between the water outlet of the heat exchanger and the water inlet of the constant temperature tank and the water inlet of the hot water tank.

[0005] Furthermore, the hot water tank and the thermostatic tank are separated by a partition, and the upper end of the hot water tank is communicated with the upper end of the thermostatic tank.

[0006] Furthermore, when the mold has a large demand for hot water, the bypass valve is opened, and the water in the hot water tank reaches the thermostat through the bypass valve, increasing the liquid level in the thermostat to prevent shutdown caused by insufficient liquid level.

[0007] Furthermore, when the mold has a large demand for hot water and the amount of water passing through the bypass valve is insufficient to pass the excess water, the water in the hot water tank overflows over the partition and into the constant temperature tank. In addition, the first hot water on-off valve is opened, the hot water circulation pump is started, and the hot water in the hot water tank is pumped out by the hot water circulation pump, passes through the heat exchanger, and reaches the constant temperature tank.

[0008] Furthermore, when the mold cooling water usage is small, the bypass valve is opened and the water from the thermostat reaches the hot water tank;

[0009] Furthermore, when the mold cooling water consumption is small, the first hot water on-off valve is closed and the second hot water on-off valve is opened to circulate the water in the hot water tank for cooling. The water in the hot water tank is pressurized by the hot water circulation pump, passes through the heat exchanger, and returns to the hot water tank; when the water in the hot water tank reaches the set temperature or reaches the set liquid level, the first hot water on-off valve is opened and the second hot water on-off valve is closed. The water in the hot water tank passes through the hot water circulation pump and the heat exchanger to reach the constant temperature tank, thereby achieving final cooling.

[0010] Furthermore, when the water consumption of a single mold is within the pumping range, the first hot water on-off valve is opened and the second hot water on-off valve is closed. The water in the hot water tank passes through the hot water circulation pump and the heat exchanger and reaches the constant temperature box to achieve cooling.

[0011] Furthermore, during the cooling process, the speed of the hot water circulation pump needs to be adjusted to achieve a balance. The adjustment method is as follows:

[0012] Setting parameters: motor base frequency F1, motor maximum output frequency F2, maximum liquid level H1, minimum liquid level H2;

[0013] Current parameters: motor output frequency f, motor balancing frequency f1, current liquid level h;

[0014] The adjustment mode has the following three states:

[0015] (1) When h ≥ H1, then f = F2;

[0016] (2) When H2 <h

[0017] (3) When h≤H2, then f=0;

[0018] Since the water supply to the mold is intermittent or long-term, the water flow is large at the beginning and then decreases. The hot water tank temporarily stores the hot water. The ultimate goal is to keep the system in state (2) as much as possible. In this state, the heat exchanger can perform at its highest performance and is always in working condition.

[0019] Furthermore, when the mold cooling water needs to be removed and the water source needs to be renewed, the first hot water on-off valve and the second hot water on-off valve are closed, the drain valve is opened, and the hot water circulation pump speed is turned to the maximum.

[0020] The high-efficiency hot water cooling system and the use method of the machine-side cooling station provided by the present invention have the beneficial effect of greatly optimizing the cooling energy consumption of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] As shown in the figure: 1 - hot water tank, 2 - constant temperature tank, 3 - mold, 4 - bypass valve, 5 - high-pressure water supply pump, 6 - normal-pressure water supply pump, 7 - hot water circulation pump, 8 - heat exchanger, 9 - drain valve, 10 - first hot water on-off valve, 11 - second hot water on-off valve, 12 - partition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to more intuitively and completely understand the technical solution of the present invention, a non-limiting description of the features of the present invention is now provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: ​

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the high-efficiency hot water cooling system of the machine-side cooling station includes a hot water tank 1, a constant temperature tank 2 and a mold 3. A bypass valve 4 is provided between the hot water tank 1 and the constant temperature tank 2. The cooling water of the constant temperature tank 2 flows through the mold 3 and then returns to the hot water tank 1. A high-pressure water supply pump 5 and a normal-pressure water supply pump 6 are installed between the water outlet of the constant temperature tank 2 and the water inlet of the mold 3. The water outlet of the hot water tank 1 is connected to a hot water circulation pump 7 through a pipe. The water outlet of the hot water circulation pump 7 is connected to a heat exchanger 8 and a drain valve 9 through a pipe. A first hot water on-off valve 10 and a second hot water on-off valve 11 are respectively installed between the water outlet of the heat exchanger 8 and the water inlet of the constant temperature tank 2 and the water inlet of the hot water tank 1.

[0025] The hot water tank 1 and the thermostatic tank 2 are separated by a partition 12 , and the upper end of the hot water tank 1 is communicated with the upper end of the thermostatic tank 2 .

[0026] When mold 3 has a large demand for hot water (water consumption per mold > minimum pumping speed × single mold time), bypass valve 4 is opened, and the water in hot water tank 1 reaches thermostat 2 through bypass valve 4, increasing the liquid level in thermostat 2 to prevent shutdown caused by insufficient liquid level.

[0027] When the mold 3 has a large demand for hot water (water consumption per mold > minimum pumping speed of the pump × single mold time), and the water volume passing through the bypass valve 4 is insufficient to pass the excess water, the water in the hot water tank 1 overflows over the partition 12 to the constant temperature tank 2, and the first hot water on-off valve 10 is opened, the second hot water on-off valve 11 is closed, and the hot water circulation pump 7 is running. The hot water in the hot water tank 1 is pumped out by the hot water circulation pump 7, passes through the heat exchanger 8, and reaches the constant temperature tank 2.

[0028] When the cooling water consumption of mold 3 is small (water consumption per mold < minimum pumping speed of the pump × single mold time), the bypass valve 4 is opened, and the water in the thermostat tank 2 reaches the hot water tank 1, which not only reduces the water temperature of the hot water tank 1, but also increases the water volume of the hot water tank 1;

[0029] When the cooling water consumption of the mold 3 is small (water consumption per mold < minimum pumping speed of the pump × single mold time), the first hot water on-off valve 10 is closed and the second hot water on-off valve 11 is opened to circulate the water in the hot water tank 1 for cooling. The water in the hot water tank 1 is pressurized by the hot water circulation pump 7, passes through the heat exchanger 8, and returns to the hot water tank 1; when the water in the hot water tank 1 reaches the set temperature or reaches the set liquid level, the first hot water on-off valve 10 is opened and the second hot water on-off valve 11 is closed. The water in the hot water tank 1 passes through the hot water circulation pump 7 and the heat exchanger 8 and reaches the constant temperature tank 2 to achieve final cooling.

[0030] When the water consumption of the mold 3 for a single mold is within the pumping range, the first hot water on-off valve 10 is opened and the second hot water on-off valve 11 is closed. The water in the hot water tank 1 passes through the hot water circulation pump 7 and the heat exchanger 8 and reaches the constant temperature box 2 to achieve cooling.

[0031] During the cooling process, the speed of the hot water circulation pump 7 needs to be adjusted to achieve a balance. The adjustment method is as follows:

[0032] Setting parameters: motor base frequency F1, motor maximum output frequency F2, maximum liquid level H1, minimum liquid level H2;

[0033] Current parameters: motor output frequency f, motor balancing frequency f1, current liquid level h;

[0034] The adjustment mode has the following three states:

[0035] (1) When h ≥ H1, then f = F2;

[0036] (2) When H2 <h

[0037] (3) When h≤H2, then f=0;

[0038] Since the water supply to the mold is intermittent or long-term, the water flow is large at the beginning and then decreases. The hot water tank temporarily stores the hot water. The ultimate goal is to keep the system in state (2) as much as possible. In this state, the heat exchanger can perform at its highest performance and is always in working condition.

[0039] When it is necessary to remove the cooling water of the mold 3 and renew the water source, the first hot water on-off valve 10 and the second hot water on-off valve 11 are closed, the drain valve 9 is opened, and the hot water circulation pump 7 is turned on to the maximum speed.

[0040] The high-efficiency hot water cooling system of the machine-side cooling station and the use method thereof provided by the present invention can greatly optimize the cooling energy consumption of the equipment.

[0041] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention should be included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.​
