Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of constant temperature control technology, and in particular to a constant temperature heat source supply system. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as medical, chemical, and precision manufacturing, there is a demand for high-precision constant-temperature heat sources. However, under disturbances, these sources are prone to problems such as large temperature fluctuations, slow recovery speeds, and low control precision, making it difficult to maintain a high-precision constant-temperature heat source supply and meet user needs.

[0003] In existing technologies, common constant temperature control methods include PID control and variable frequency control. Although PID control can improve control accuracy to some extent, it is difficult to avoid problems such as water temperature exceeding the required range and delayed response when users make large flow or rapidly changing water demands. In addition, the common single-tank structure is prone to uneven temperature distribution of the supplied heat source during water replenishment or use.

[0004] Some systems use multi-stage water tanks or auxiliary heating devices to improve the stability of the heat source, but their structure is complex, the control logic is cumbersome, and the lack of effective coordination between the water tanks leads to high system energy consumption, high cost, and difficult maintenance.

[0005] Therefore, the constant-temperature heat source supply system proposed in this invention has a simple structure and clear control logic. By monitoring the temperature change of the main water tank in real time and predicting the rate of change of the heat load in the main water tank, the heat source in the auxiliary water tank is adjusted proportionally according to the rate and injected into the main water tank to achieve a constant-temperature heat source supply, eliminating the lag in heat source temperature compensation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main technical problem solved by this invention is to propose a constant temperature heat source supply system, which achieves rapid and accurate constant temperature heat source supply through the comprehensive adjustment of the heat source delivered by the auxiliary water tank and the temperature control device inside the main water tank, thereby meeting the user's high-precision constant temperature heat source requirements.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A constant temperature heat source supply system is provided, characterized in that it includes a compressor (1), a condenser (2), solenoid valves (3-1, 3-2, 3-3), a thermal expansion valve (4-1, 4-2, 4-3), a temperature sensor (5-1, 5-2, 5-3), heating rods (6-1, 6-2, 6-3), an evaporator (7-1, 7-2, 7-3), a water pump (8-1, 8-2, 8-3), and a main water supply system. The main water tank (9), auxiliary water tanks (10-1, 10-2), user terminal (11), controller (12), and pipelines (13, 14, 15) are connected in sequence; the main water tank (9), water pump (8-3), and user terminal (11) are connected in sequence; the auxiliary water tank (10-1), water pump (8-1), and main water tank (9) are connected in sequence; the auxiliary water tank (10-2), water pump (8-2), and main water tank (9) are connected in sequence; the controller (12), compressor (1), solenoid valve (3-1, ... 3-2, 3-3), temperature sensors (5-1, 5-2, 5-3), heating rods (6-1, 6-2, 6-3), and water pumps (8-1, 8-2) are connected by wires; the temperature sensor (5-1), heating rod (6-1), and condenser (7-1) are located inside the main water tank (9); the temperature sensor (5-2), heating rod (6-2), and condenser (7-2) are located inside the auxiliary water tank (10-1); the temperature sensor (5-3), heating rod...

[0009] The temperature range of the main water tank (9) is -40 to 100℃.

[0010] The control temperature of the auxiliary water tank (10-1) is 0.5-1℃ higher than that of the main water tank (9), and the control temperature of the auxiliary water tank (10-2) is 0.5-1℃ lower than that of the main water tank (9).

[0015] Cooling control mode: When the temperature sensor (5-1) detects that the temperature of the main water tank (9) rises, the controller (12) predicts the load according to the rate of temperature change and gives the running time of the water pump (8-2). The water pump (8-2) starts and the compressor (1) starts at the same time, and the cooling control mode is turned on. When the running time of the water pump (8-2) ends, the water pump (8-2) is turned off.
