Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of HVAC, cold water is usually used as the refrigerant medium to transfer the "cold" to the air-conditioned area and release it to achieve the purpose of cooling. When the transmission distance is long, the resistance of the refrigerant water circulation line section is small for the near-end user (close to the refrigeration station) compared to the far-end user (far from the refrigeration), and only a small pressure difference is required. If a traditional one-time pump refrigerant water circulation system is used, the far-end user will reach the lower limit of the pressure difference, and the near-end user will be over-pressured, which may damage the air-conditioning equipment of the near-end user and also cause waste of transmission energy consumption of the circulating water pump.
