Dissolve the salt mist ions in the sea breeze air to achieve the purpose of desalination of the sea breeze air.
[0020] (4) First solution water salt concentration balance: in the inlet air dehumidification and desalination module, the concentration of the first solution in the first solution collection cavity will fluctuate. One is that the water vapor in the sea breeze air condenses and falls back to the first solution collection cavity under the action of gravity. When the concentration is lower than the set lower limit value (concentration and conductivity are one-to-one), the second solution is used to adjust the concentration of the first solution. Two is that the salt mist ions in the sea breeze air are dissolved and fall back to the first solution collection cavity under the action of gravity, which causes the concentration of the first solution to rise. When the concentration is higher than the set upper limit value, the salt crystallization module is used to precipitate and reduce the concentration.
[0021] (5) The first solution water salt concentration balance can utilize the battery exhaust heat: in the second solution, the second solution is heated by a heat source. In order to save energy and utilize the battery exhaust heat to further increase the temperature, the water vapor partial pressure of the exhaust air is increased, and the water in the second solution is dissolved in the exchange process.

The heat source heat exchanger 129 is used for heat exchange with the second solution to heat the second solution.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the salt crystallization device is further provided with a stirring component 119 for stirring and accelerating the crystallization of the salt. When the salt is crystallized on the stirring component 119, the stirring component is removed by opening the cover of the salt crystallization device to remove the salt. The solution after desalination can flow into the first solution collection chamber 106 through the second outlet 108.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, a first valve and a first pump body 110 are arranged on the pipeline through which the first outlet 107 communicates with the three-way valve 111; a second valve and a second pump body 134 are arranged on the pipeline through which the fourth outlet 126 communicates with the third outlet 109; a third valve and a third pump body 128 are arranged on the pipeline through which the fifth outlet 127 communicates with the heat source heat exchanger 129. The first valve, the second valve and the third valve are used to control the opening and closing of the pipeline, and the first pump body 110, the second pump body 134 and the third pump body 128 are used to control the flow of the solution in the pipeline.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the cold source heat exchanger 112 exchanges heat with the cold source 113 to form a cold source and first solution heat exchange cycle 114; the heat source heat exchanger 129 exchanges heat with the heat source 130 to form a heat source and second solution heat exchange cycle 131.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the cold source heat exchanger 112 exchanges heat with the evaporator 204 of an air conditioning system, and the heat source heat exchanger 129 exchanges heat with the condenser 202 of the air conditioning system. The air conditioning system includes a refrigerant circulation loop, and the refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant circulation loop composed of a compressor 201, a condenser 202, an electronic expansion valve 203 and an evaporator 204 in sequence.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the evaporator 204 includes a first evaporator and a second evaporator 205 arranged in parallel in the refrigerant circulation loop; the first evaporator exchanges heat with the cold source heat exchanger 112; along the airflow direction, the second evaporator 205 is placed upstream of the inlet air dehumidification and desalination module 103, and the inlet air first flows through the second evaporator 205 for first-stage cooling and dehumidification treatment, and then flows through the inlet air dehumidification and desalination module 103, so that two-stage cooling and dehumidification are suitable for heat dissipation of energy storage batteries in high-humidity and high-temperature deep-sea areas.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the cold source heat exchanger 112 uses ocean wind cooling to cool the first solution, and the heat source heat exchanger 129 uses a photovoltaic heat collector on the sea to heat the second solution.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the first solution and the second solution are one or more of LiCl, BrCl, KCl, and NaCl solutions, and the salt concentration in the first solution is lower than the salt concentration in the sea breeze 115; the salt concentration in the second solution is higher than the salt concentration in the sea breeze 115.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the concentration of NaCl in the first solution is lower than the concentration of NaCl in the sea breeze 115 ; the concentration of NaCl in the second solution is higher than the concentration of NaCl in the sea breeze 115 .
[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the first solution passes through the first pump body 110 and the three-way valve 111 and enters the cold source heat exchanger 112 for heat exchange. The cooled first solution is cooled and then sprayed out through the first solution nozzle 117 to achieve dehumidification, cooling and desalination of the sea breeze 115. The treated sea breeze 116 exchanges heat with the energy storage battery group 101 through the energy storage battery inlet and outlet air ducts; the first solution dissolves the salt in the sea breeze 115 during the spraying to achieve desalination and cool the sea breeze 115 at the same time. After cooling, the water vapor partial pressure of the sea breeze 115 is reduced, the water vapor condenses, and the air moisture content is reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of dehumidification and cooling.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, during the spraying process of the first solution, the concentration of the first solution changes, and the concentration balance of the first solution is maintained by the second solution through the salt crystallization module 118 and the fourth outlet 126 .
[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, when the conductivity of the first solution in the first solution collecting chamber 106 is When the value is greater than the first preset value, the three-way valve 111 is switched to force the solution into the salt crystallization device, and the stirring of the stirring component 119 accelerates the precipitation of salt. The crystallized salt is precipitated on the stirring component 119, and the upper cover of the salt crystallization device is opened for desalination.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, a fourth valve and a fourth pump body 120 are further provided on the pipeline connecting the second end of the salt crystallization device and the second outlet 108 to control the on-off of the pipeline and the flow rate of the solution.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, when the conductivity of the first solution in the first solution collecting chamber 106 is When the concentration of the first solution is less than the second preset value, the concentration of the first solution is balanced by using the return air reprocessing module 121, the second solution passes through the fifth outlet 127, and enters the heat source heat exchanger 129 under the action of the third pump body 128. The second solution flows into the cavity of the second shell-and-tube spray heat exchanger for spraying after being heated. At this time, the battery module exhaust air 132 flowing through the energy storage battery module 100 absorbs the heat of the energy storage battery pack 101. Due to the increase in temperature, the water vapor that can be carried by the battery module exhaust air 132 increases. In the process of spraying and heat exchange with the second solution, the battery module exhaust air 132 absorbs the water in the second solution and becomes air carrying water vapor 133, which is discharged to the environment and falls back to the second solution in the second solution collecting cavity 124. The concentration of the second solution increases, and the second solution is mixed with the first solution through the fourth outlet 126 and the second pump body 134 to adjust the concentration of the first solution. When the concentration of the first solution does not need to be adjusted, the concentration of the second solution is higher than the threshold value, and salt grains can be naturally crystallized and separated out.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, all air conditioning systems compress the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 201, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser 202 to be condensed and release heat. The heat is transferred to the second solution in the heat source heat exchanger 129 to realize heat exchange between the refrigerant and the second solution and heat the second solution. After the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the second solution, the refrigerant becomes a medium-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid, which is throttled and depressurized by the electronic expansion valve 203 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid with supercooling degree, which enters the evaporator 204 to cool the first solution.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the heat source heat exchanger 129 and the cold source heat exchanger 112 are liquid-liquid heat exchangers. The heat management device further includes an air conditioning system, which includes a refrigerant circulation loop. The refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant circulation loop composed of the compressor 201, the condenser 202, the electronic expansion valve 203 and the evaporator 204 in sequence. The refrigerant discharged by the compressor 201 first passes through the heat source heat exchanger 129, the refrigerant is condensed and releases heat, the second solution absorbs heat and increases in temperature, and then passes through the electronic expansion valve 203 to be throttled and depressurized. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat through the cold source heat exchanger 112, absorbs the heat of the first solution, and cools the first solution.
