Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the development of technology, enthalpy difference laboratories have found good applications in the research and testing of refrigeration, air conditioning systems and other equipment related to thermodynamics.
[0003] In the existing enthalpy difference laboratory, the temperature balance on the water side is achieved by the refrigeration of the test machine and the electric heating of the water tank, and the temperature balance on the wind side is achieved by the electric heating of the air handling equipment and the refrigeration of the refrigerator.

[0028] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides an enthalpy difference laboratory, which is used for enthalpy difference experiments of a test machine, and the arrow direction is used to indicate the direction of water flow. The enthalpy difference laboratory includes:
[0029] A water circulation device 20, the water circulation device 20 comprising a water tank 21, a water inlet channel is provided between the water tank 21 and the water inlet of the tested machine, and a water outlet channel is provided between the water tank 21 and the water outlet of the tested machine;
[0030] An air handler 10, the air handler 10 comprising a refrigerator 11, the refrigerator 11 being used to cool the test room when the room temperature of the test room is higher than a preset cooling temperature, the cooling water circulation pipeline of the refrigerator 11 being used to discharge the heat displaced from the test room by the refrigerator 11; the test room being used to place the test machine;
[0031] A first heat exchange device, arranged in the water outlet channel, for exchanging heat between the cold energy generated by the tested machine and the test room;
[0032] The second heat exchange device is arranged at the outlet pipe of the condensation side of the cooling water circulation pipeline, and is used for exchanging heat between the heat displaced from the test room by the refrigerator 11 and the water tank 21 .
[0033] The water circulation device 20 includes a water tank 21, and a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel are respectively provided between the water tank 21 and the water inlet and the water outlet of the test machine. Water circulates in the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel to adjust the water temperature of the test machine. The air handling unit 10 includes a refrigerator 11. When the room temperature of the test room is higher than the preset cooling temperature, the refrigerator 11 will start to cool the test room. The heat generated by the refrigerator 11 during the cooling process is discharged through the cooling water circulation pipeline.
[0034] The first heat exchange device is arranged on the water outlet channel of the test machine, and its function is to exchange heat between the cold energy generated by the test machine and the test room, that is, to use the cold energy generated by the test machine to reduce the temperature of the test room, and realize heat recovery of the heat in the test room. The second heat exchange device is arranged on the condensation side water outlet pipe of the cooling water circulation pipeline of the refrigerator 11, and its function is to exchange heat between the heat displaced from the test room by the refrigerator 11 and the water tank 21, that is, to recover the heat discharged by the refrigerator 11 into the water tank 21, and to heat the water in the water tank 21, and realize heat recovery of the heat of the refrigerator.
[0035] Thus, through the first heat exchange device, the cold energy generated by the test machine can be used for cooling the test room, reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 11 and realizing the energy recovery of the test machine. Through the second heat exchange device, the heat discharged by the refrigerator 11 is recovered into the water tank 21, reducing the energy consumption of the electric heating of the water tank 21 and realizing energy saving of the electric heating of the water tank 21. Through the above heat recovery technology, the energy efficiency ratio is improved and the waste of energy is reduced. In the long run, the above energy saving and consumption reduction can significantly reduce the operating costs of the laboratory.
[0036] To sum up, the technical solution provided by the present application recovers the energy generated by the test machine and transfers it back to the indoor room, saving the electric heating output of the water tank 21 and cooling the indoor room at the same time; recovers the heat generated by the refrigerator 11 to the water tank 21, saving the electric heating output of the water tank 21; and can achieve dual heat recovery function through structural improvement, and through dual energy recovery and utilization, improves energy efficiency and reduces energy consumption.
[0037] In some embodiments, the first heat exchange device includes a first plate heat exchanger 31 and a first heat exchange water pump 32;
[0038] The first plate heat exchanger 31 has a first channel and a second channel for mutual heat exchange, the first channel being a section of the water outlet channel; one end of the second channel is connected to one end of a heat recovery coil in the enthalpy difference laboratory, and the other end is connected to the other end of the heat recovery coil to form a loop; the first heat exchange water pump 32 is arranged between the second channel and the heat recovery coil for exchanging heat between the cold energy generated by the test machine and the test room.
[0039] The first heat exchange device is composed of a first plate heat exchanger 31 and a first heat exchange water pump 32. The first plate heat exchanger 31 has two channels for heat exchange with each other. The first channel is a part of the water outlet channel, and the two ends of the second channel are respectively connected to the two ends of the heat recovery coil arranged in the enthalpy difference laboratory. The first heat exchange water pump 32 is arranged between the second channel and the heat recovery coil, and is used to circulate water to promote the heat exchange between the cold generated by the test machine and the test room. Specifically, the first heat exchange water pump 32 can be arranged on the pipeline between the second channel and the heat recovery coil.
[0040] The cold energy generated by the tested machine when working is transferred to the first channel through the water outlet channel, and the cold water in the first channel exchanges heat with the water in the second channel, transferring the cold energy to the second channel. The first heat exchange water pump 32 transports the water in the second channel to the heat recovery coil, and the water in the heat recovery coil exchanges heat with the air in the test room, transferring the cold energy to the test room to achieve cooling.
[0041] Thus, the compact structure and high heat exchange efficiency of the plate heat exchanger can more effectively exchange heat. By recycling the cold energy generated by the test machine, the dependence on the refrigerator 11 is reduced, the overall energy consumption is reduced, and an efficient, energy-saving and flexible heat exchange process is achieved.
[0042] In some embodiments, the water tank 21 includes a heat exchange input port and a heat exchange output port for exchanging heat with the second heat exchange device;
[0043] The second heat exchange device includes a second plate heat exchanger 41 and a second heat exchange water pump 42. The second plate heat exchanger 41 has a third channel and a fourth channel for mutual heat exchange. The two ends of the third channel are respectively connected to different nodes of the condensation side water outlet pipe. One end of the fourth channel is connected to the heat exchange input port of the water tank 21, and the other end is connected to the heat exchange output port of the water tank 21. The second heat exchange water pump 42 is arranged between the fourth channel and the water tank 21 to exchange heat between the heat displaced from the test room by the refrigerator 11 and the water tank 21.
[0044] The second heat exchange device is composed of a second plate heat exchanger 41, which is designed with a third channel and a fourth channel for mutual heat exchange. The two ends of the third channel are connected to different nodes of the condensing side outlet pipe of the cooling water circulation pipeline of the refrigerator 11, which is used to receive the heat discharged by the refrigerator 11. One end of the fourth channel is connected to the heat exchange input port of the water tank 21, and the other end is connected to the heat exchange output port of the water tank 21, forming a closed-loop heat exchange path. The second heat exchange water pump 42 is arranged between the fourth channel and the water tank 21, and is responsible for pumping water to circulate between the fourth channel and the water tank 21 to promote the heat exchange between the heat displaced from the test room by the refrigerator 11 and the water in the water tank 21. Specifically, the second heat exchange water pump 42 can be arranged on the pipeline between the fourth channel and the water tank 21.
[0045] When the refrigerator 11 cools the test room, the heat generated is discharged through the condensation side water outlet pipe. The heat is received by the third channel and transferred to the second plate heat exchanger 41. The second heat exchange water pump 42 transports the water in the water tank 21 to the fourth channel to exchange heat with the heat in the third channel. The hot water after heat exchange returns to the water tank 21, thereby increasing the water temperature in the water tank 21.
[0046] Thus, by recycling the heat discharged by the refrigerator 11, the dependence on the electric heating of the water tank 21 and the energy consumption of the electric heating of the water tank 21 are reduced. At the same time, by recycling the heat of the refrigerator 11, the heat directly discharged into the environment is reduced, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the long run, due to the reduction of power consumption, the operating cost of the laboratory can be significantly reduced.
[0047] In a specific application, it can be considered that the water tank 21 is also connected to an air cooling unit 22 to assist the water tank in heat exchange. There is a pipeline connection between the water tank and the air cooling unit. When the temperature of the water tank is too high, the air cooling unit passes cold water into the water tank through the pipeline, and the hot water in the water tank is cooled by air cooling to maintain the water temperature in the water tank within a predetermined range. At the same time, the electric heating device in the water tank 21 performs electric heating when the temperature of the water tank is too low. The cooperation of the electric heating device and the air cooling unit 22 enables the water tank to meet the laboratory needs.
[0048] In summary, by providing the second heat exchange device, effective recovery and utilization of heat from the refrigerator 11 is achieved, thereby reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
[0049] In some embodiments, the air handler 10 further includes a cooling tower 12 and a cooling tower heat exchanger 13, wherein the cooling tower heat exchanger 13 has a fifth channel and a sixth channel for mutual heat exchange, and both ends of the fifth channel are respectively connected to the condensation side water outlet pipe and the condensation side water inlet pipe;
[0050] A cooling water inlet pipe and a cooling water outlet pipe are provided between the cooling tower heat exchanger 13 and the cooling tower 12, and both ends of the sixth channel are connected to the cooling tower 12 through the cooling water inlet pipe and the cooling water outlet pipe respectively.
[0051] The cooling tower heat exchanger 13 is designed to include two channels for heat exchange with each other. The fifth channel connects the condensation side outlet pipe and the condensation side inlet pipe, and is used to transfer the heat generated by the refrigerator 11 during the condensation process to the heat exchanger. The sixth channel is connected to the cooling tower 12 through the cooling water inlet pipe and the cooling water outlet pipe, and is used to transfer the heat in the cooling tower heat exchanger 13 to the cooling tower 12. After cooling from the cooling tower 12, the cooling water enters the sixth channel of the cooling tower heat exchanger 13 through the cooling water inlet pipe, absorbs the heat in the fifth channel, and then returns to the cooling tower 12 through the cooling water outlet pipe for re-cooling. Specifically, the cooling tower 12 can use air flow and water evaporation to dissipate heat, reduce the temperature of the cooling water, and make it re-enter the heat exchanger cycle. Therefore, through the design of the fifth and sixth channels of the cooling tower heat exchanger 13, the heat generated by the refrigerator 11 is more effectively transferred to the cooling water.
[0052] In some embodiments, the air handler 10 further includes an electric heater 14, and the electric heater 14 is used to heat the test room when the room temperature is lower than a preset heating temperature.
[0053] The air handler 10 includes an electric heater 14, which is mainly used to provide additional heat to the test room when the room temperature of the test room is lower than the preset heating temperature. It can be considered that once the room temperature is lower than the preset heating temperature, the electric heater 14 will be activated. In a specific application, the heated air is sent into the test room through the air circulation device (such as a fan) in the air handler 10, thereby increasing the temperature of the test room.
[0054] In some embodiments, a three-way valve 23 is provided on the water inlet channel, and a node of the water outlet channel is connected to one end of the three-way valve 23 through a pipeline. It can be considered that the channel formed by the water inlet and the water outlet of the three-way valve 23 is provided in the water inlet channel, and the bypass of the three-way valve 23 is connected to the water outlet channel. In specific applications, changing the water flow path by the three-way valve 23 helps to control the water inlet temperature of the machine under test.
