[0028] In addition, in this embodiment, a fan 7 is provided on one side of the fin heat exchanger 5 .

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] In this embodiment, the first refrigerant circuit is composed of the compressor 1, the four-way valve 2, the water-side heat exchanger 3, the expansion valve 4 and the fin heat exchanger 5. When in use, the first control valve 9 and the third control valve 10 are opened, and the second control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 11 are closed; the second refrigerant circuit is composed of the compressor 1, the four-way valve 2, the fin condenser 6, the expansion valve 4 and the fin heat exchanger 5. When in use, the first control valve 9 and the third control valve 10 are closed, and the second control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 11 are opened.

[0031] When the external cooling tower is operating normally for refrigeration and dehumidification: the first control valve 9 and the third control valve 10 are opened, and the second control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 11 are closed. The compressor 1 inhales the low-temperature liquid in the fin heat exchanger 5, and the liquid in the compressor 1 is heated up to become high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor by doing work. Then the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor enters the water side heat exchanger 3, and is cooled by the external cooling tower, so that the water vapor releases heat and condenses into low-temperature liquid. Then the low-temperature liquid is discharged from the water side heat exchanger 3 to the expansion valve 4, and the expansion valve 4 throttles it. Then the low-temperature liquid flows into the fin heat exchanger 5 again. At this time, the fan 7 on one side of the fin heat exchanger 5 is turned on, so that the gas in the air passes through the fin heat exchanger 5, so that the temperature of the blown wind can be reduced, that is, the refrigeration function is realized. Then the low-temperature liquid in the fin heat exchanger 5 enters the compressor 1 again, and this cycle is repeated.

[0032] When the external cooling tower cannot operate normally for refrigeration and dehumidification, the second control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 11 are opened, and the first control valve 9 and the third control valve 10 are closed. The compressor 1 inhales the low-temperature liquid in the fin heat exchanger 5, and the liquid in the compressor 1 is heated to become high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor by doing work. Then the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor enters the fin condenser 6. The fin condenser 6 condenses the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor into a low-temperature liquid, and then the low-temperature liquid is transported to the fin heat exchanger 5 through the expansion valve 4. Finally, the low-temperature liquid is transported to the fin heat exchanger 5 through the fan 7, so that the gas in the air passes through the fin heat exchanger 5, so that the temperature of the blown wind can be reduced, that is, the refrigeration function is realized. Then the low-temperature liquid in the fin heat exchanger 5 enters the compressor 1 again, and this cycle is repeated.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation cases are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above implementation cases, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above implementation cases, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. These modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the implementation cases of the utility model.
