DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The drawings of the present invention are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention. In order to better illustrate the following embodiments, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery cluster and PCS parallel energy-saving liquid cooling system, including a refrigeration module, a hydraulic module and a battery cluster 14; the refrigeration module is connected to the hydraulic module for heat exchange with the hydraulic module, and also includes a PCS liquid cooling module and PCS18, the PCS liquid cooling module is used to heat exchange PCS18; the hydraulic module includes a first parallel branch connected to the PCS liquid cooling module and a second parallel branch connected to the battery cluster 14, the first parallel branch is used to heat exchange the PCS liquid cooling module, and the second parallel branch is used to heat exchange the battery cluster 14.

[0035] Among them, the PCS liquid cooling module is used to perform heat exchange on PCS18, and the heat of PCS18 is absorbed by the coolant in the PCS liquid cooling module. The hydraulic module is provided with two parallel branches, wherein the first parallel branch is connected to the battery cluster 14, and the second parallel branch is connected to the PCS liquid cooling module. When working, part of the coolant in the hydraulic module pipeline is diverted to the first parallel branch to take out the heat of the battery cluster 14, and the other part of the coolant is diverted to the second parallel branch to take out the heat of the PCS liquid cooling module. Finally, the coolant of the two parallel branches converges into the main pipeline of the hydraulic module and is centrally cooled and heat-dissipated by the refrigeration module.

[0036] This embodiment connects the PCS liquid cooling module and the battery cluster 14 in parallel for heat dissipation, and uses a refrigeration module to adjust the temperature of the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18, making full use of the heat dissipation capacity of the hydraulic module and improving the energy utilization rate of the entire system.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the PCS liquid cooling module includes a second evaporator 16 and a second water pump 17. The second evaporator 16, the second water pump 17 and the PCS 18 are connected in sequence through pipelines to form a PCS 18 liquid cooling circulation loop. The second evaporator 16 is connected to the hydraulic module to form the first parallel branch for heat exchange with the hydraulic module. The second water pump 17 is used to drive the coolant in the PCS liquid cooling circulation loop to circulate. The coolant in the PCS liquid cooling module absorbs the heat of the PCS 18, flows through the second evaporator 16 driven by the second water pump 17, and exchanges heat with the liquid in the hydraulic module through the second evaporator 16. After cooling, it flows into the second water pump 17 to complete the coolant circulation of the PCS liquid cooling module.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, the hydraulic module includes a first water pump 11 and a three-way valve 13 .

[0039] Among them, the first output port of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the input end of the first parallel branch, and the second output port of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the input end of the second parallel branch. The output end of the first parallel branch and the output end of the second parallel branch are then converged and connected to the inlet of the first water pump 11. The output port of the first water pump 11, the refrigeration module, and the input port of the three-way valve 13 are connected in series in sequence. The first parallel branch is connected to the second evaporator 16. When the coolant in the PCS liquid cooling module enters the second evaporator 16, it is isolated from the coolant in the first parallel branch for heat exchange, thereby achieving the effect of cooling and heat dissipation.

[0040] In practical applications, in order to meet the operating temperature requirements of the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18, the flow of the coolant in the first parallel branch and the second parallel branch is flexibly adjusted and allocated through the three-way valve 13. In this embodiment, since the operating temperature ranges of the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18 are quite different, the battery cluster 14 is suitable for working at a relatively low temperature, while the PCS 18 needs to operate at a relatively high temperature. Therefore, the opening of the three-way valve 13 can be adjusted so that the first parallel branch for dissipating heat for the PCS liquid cooling module obtains less coolant, and most of the coolant is allocated to the second parallel branch for dissipating heat for the battery cluster 14, thereby realizing a reasonable allocation of the coolant flow in the hydraulic module and meeting the operating temperature requirements of different heat dissipation objects.

[0041] In some cases, even if most of the coolant is allocated to the second parallel branch, it may still not be able to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the battery cluster 14. At this time, the three-way valve 13 can be further adjusted to allow all the coolant in the hydraulic module to flow to the second parallel branch. This allows the battery cluster 14 to be fully cooled. Although the lack of coolant allocation in the first parallel branch may have a certain impact on the operating temperature of PCS18, due to its relatively high operating temperature range, this impact is acceptable for a period of time. After the temperature of the battery cluster 14 drops to the target temperature, the three-way valve 13 is adjusted to divert part of the coolant in the hydraulic module to the first parallel branch to cool and dissipate heat for the PCS liquid cooling module, thereby achieving a reasonable distribution of coolant flow in the hydraulic module.

[0042] In order to heat the coolant in the hydraulic module, the present embodiment further adds a first PTC heater 12. Specifically, the first PTC heater 12 is arranged in the pipeline between the first water pump 11 and the three-way valve 13, and is mainly used to heat the coolant in the hydraulic circulation loop when the temperature of the liquid in the hydraulic circulation loop is too low, so as to prevent the working performance of the PCS 18 and the battery cluster 14 from being affected by the low temperature of the coolant. Of course, the first PTC heater 12 can also be arranged in the main pipeline connected to the input port of the first water pump 11.

[0043] In addition, an expansion tank 15 is also provided in the pipeline connected to the input port of the first water pump 11. The expansion tank 15 is mainly used to stabilize the pressure of the coolant in the hydraulic module.

[0044] The refrigeration module of this embodiment includes a compression refrigeration unit and a fluorine pump refrigeration unit, and the compression refrigeration unit and the fluorine pump refrigeration unit are connected to the hydraulic module for heat exchange with the hydraulic module.

[0045] Specifically, the compression refrigeration unit includes a first evaporator 9, a compressor 1, a first one-way valve 2, a condenser 3, a liquid storage tank 5, a second one-way valve 7 and a first expansion valve 8; the first evaporator 9, the compressor 1, the first one-way valve 2, the condenser 3, the liquid storage tank 5, the second one-way valve 7 and the first expansion valve 8 are connected in sequence to form a compression refrigeration cycle, and the compression refrigeration unit performs heat exchange with the hydraulic module through the first evaporator 9.

[0046] The fluorine pump refrigeration unit includes a third one-way valve 10 and a fluorine pump 6; a fluorine pump refrigeration cycle is formed by connecting the first evaporator 9, the third one-way valve 10, the condenser 3, the liquid storage tank 5, the fluorine pump 6 and the first expansion valve 8 in sequence, and the fluorine pump refrigeration cycle is formed, and the fluorine pump refrigeration unit performs heat exchange with the hydraulic module through the first evaporator 9.

[0047] The refrigeration module is also provided with a second fan 4, which is used to force convection to accelerate the air flow on the surface of the condenser 3. As the airflow generated by the second fan 4 continuously blows through the condenser 3, the heat on the condenser 3 is quickly taken away and discharged to the outdoor environment, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation of the entire system. In actual application, the second fan 4 can be set near the condenser 3, for example, behind the condenser 3. The specific setting position can be determined according to actual conditions, and only examples are given here for specific explanation.

[0048] By setting up a compression refrigeration unit and a fluorine pump refrigeration unit, the refrigeration module has two different refrigeration modes: compression refrigeration mode and fluorine pump refrigeration mode, so that the system can flexibly adapt to different ambient temperatures and heat dissipation requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control and the energy efficiency of refrigeration. At the same time, the compression refrigeration unit and the fluorine pump refrigeration unit share some pipelines, such as the shared condenser 3, the second fan 4, the liquid storage tank 5, the first expansion valve 8 and the first evaporator 9, etc., saving space and manufacturing costs. It should be noted that the compression refrigeration mode is to start the compression refrigeration unit; the fluorine pump refrigeration mode is to start the fluorine pump refrigeration unit.

[0049] In some embodiments, the compression refrigeration unit can adopt an air-cooled variable frequency direct expansion refrigeration system. When the ambient temperature is greater than the preset switching temperature, the compression refrigeration mode is turned on to ensure that at least one branch is working in the same period. During operation, the coolant of the hydraulic module absorbs the heat of the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18, and transfers the heat of the coolant to the refrigerant in the first evaporator 9 through the first evaporator 9. The refrigerant in the first evaporator 9 absorbs heat and evaporates and then returns to the compressor 1. The compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gas into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which enters the condenser 3 through the first one-way valve 2 and dissipates the heat to the outdoor environment through the forced convection of the second fan 4, thereby condensing the high-temperature and high-pressure gas into medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid, which enters the first expansion valve 8 through the liquid storage tank 5 and the second one-way valve 7 to throttle and reduce the pressure into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and then enters the first evaporator 9 to absorb heat and evaporate into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, thereby forming a closed cycle of compression refrigeration.

[0050] In this embodiment, the fluorine pump refrigeration mode mainly uses the latent heat of phase change of the refrigerant to take away the heat of the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18. When the fluorine pump refrigeration mode is used, there is no need to start the compressor 1. Compared with the compression refrigeration mode, it is more efficient and energy-saving, and is suitable for use in low temperature climates. When the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset switching temperature, the fluorine pump refrigeration mode is started and the compression refrigeration mode is turned off to ensure that at least one branch is working in the same period. When the fluorine pump refrigeration mode is turned on, the refrigerant in the refrigeration system is pumped into the first expansion valve 8 by the running fluorine pump 6, and a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture is formed after throttling and reducing the pressure of the first expansion valve 8. The gas-liquid mixture then enters the first evaporator 9 and is isolated from the coolant of the hydraulic module that absorbs the heat of the battery cluster 14 and PCS18 for heat exchange. After the refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates, it enters the condenser 3 through the third one-way valve 10 and dissipates the heat of the system to the outdoor environment through the second fan 4 through forced convection, forming a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid through the liquid storage tank 5, and then the refrigerant is pumped into the first expansion valve 8 by the fluorine pump 6 to throttle and reduce the pressure to form a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture and return to the first evaporator 9, thereby forming a fluorine pump refrigeration closed cycle. The refrigeration system adopts a design of integrated compression refrigeration and fluorine pump refrigeration. When in use, different refrigeration modes can be turned on according to different ambient temperatures and heat dissipation requirements, making the refrigeration system of this embodiment more efficient and energy-saving, improving the system's low-temperature startup performance, enhancing environmental adaptability, and more helpful in extending the service life of the compressor 1 and the battery.

[0051] In this embodiment, the heat of the battery cluster 14 and PCS 18 is removed by the hydraulic module, and the heat removed by the hydraulic module is centrally and uniformly dissipated and cooled by the compression refrigeration unit and the fluorine pump refrigeration unit, thereby achieving an integrated solution to the cooling problem and saving the system's energy consumption and occupied space.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a battery cluster and PCS parallel energy-saving liquid cooling system. Different from Embodiment 1, the compression refrigeration unit of this embodiment leads out a branch as a dehumidification unit, which is used to control the air humidity of related electrical components and circuits such as the battery cluster 14 and PCS 18, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire energy storage system. The dehumidification unit includes a dehumidification evaporator 20 and a first fan 21; the inlet of the dehumidification evaporator 20 is connected between the second one-way valve 7 and the first expansion valve 8, and the outlet of the dehumidification evaporator 20 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 1; the first fan 21 is used for convection to make the heat dissipation object and the dehumidification evaporator 20 exchange heat. A second expansion valve 19 is also provided at the inlet of the dehumidification unit, and the second expansion valve 19 is used to independently control the evaporation pressure of the dehumidification evaporator 20. When dehumidification is required, the system switches to compression refrigeration mode, i.e., the compression refrigeration unit is started and the fluorine pump refrigeration unit is turned off at the same time. The first fan 21 forces convection, so that the high-humidity air inside the energy storage container exchanges heat with the dehumidification evaporator 20. The moisture carried by the high-humidity air condenses and precipitates under the heat absorption and evaporation of the refrigerant in the dehumidification evaporator 20, and the low-temperature and low-humidity air after the heat exchange is sent to the battery cluster 14 and PCS 18, thereby realizing the dehumidification function of the system. Using an integrated compression refrigeration and dehumidification system to realize the refrigeration and dehumidification functions can reduce the impact of humid air on the electrical components and electronic circuits of the energy storage container, improve the stability of the energy storage system operation, save a certain amount of space and cost, and facilitate installation and operation and maintenance.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery cluster and PCS parallel energy-saving liquid cooling system. Based on Example 2, this embodiment superimposes an air PTC heater 22 on the dehumidification evaporator 20. When the air temperature after heat exchange with the dehumidification evaporator 20 is too low, the low-temperature air will reduce the working performance of the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18. At this time, the air PTC heater 22 can be used to perform thermal compensation with the low-temperature and low-humidity air after heat exchange with the dehumidification evaporator 20, thereby further controlling the air temperature and humidity sent to the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18, so that the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18 can maintain efficient operation within a suitable temperature range. This embodiment can control whether to turn on the air PTC heater 22 for thermal compensation according to the air temperature and humidity in the battery cluster 14 and the PCS 18, further improving the reliability and working performance of the energy storage container, while optimizing the energy efficiency of the energy storage system.
