[0032] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated air-cooling unit, whose external structure adopts a shell. For the convenience of description, the shells are named as a first shell and a second shell respectively.

[0038] Example 2
[0039] This embodiment provides an air cooling system, which is based on the integrated air cooling unit provided in Embodiment 1, and includes an integrated air cooling unit installed outdoors, a main air duct for collecting hot air, and a plurality of induced air ducts connected to the main air duct at one end and connected to the internal circulation fan of the integrated air cooling unit at the other end, the induced air duct is connected to the internal circulation fan through an interface, and the cold air channel of the integrated air cooling unit is connected to the interior of the room; generally, one induced air duct corresponds to one integrated air cooling unit, and when there are multiple induced air ducts, a matching number of integrated air cooling units are used. The shapes of the main air duct and the induced air duct are not particularly limited, and their shapes can be adapted and adjusted according to different application scenarios.
[0040] According to different application scenarios, the specific layout of the air cooling system is different, as follows:
[0041] First: Air cooling system is used in high voltage frequency conversion room
[0042] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, an air duct is made at the air outlet of the fan on the top of the inverter cabinet in the frequency conversion room, and the air duct is connected to the main air duct. The main air duct collects the hot air discharged by the fan on the top of the cabinet, and then leads the hot air to the integrated air cooling unit installed on the outer wall of the frequency conversion room through the induced air duct. After cooling by the evaporator in the unit, the cold air is sent back to the frequency conversion room. Through the above arrangement, a closed internal circulation of indoor air is formed, which ensures a clean indoor environment and effectively avoids the influence of external dust on the operation of the frequency converter; in a further preferred embodiment, an outdoor exhaust duct is also arranged on the side of the induced air duct, near the connection position between it and the integrated air cooling unit, and an electric air valve is arranged at the outlet end of the outdoor exhaust duct. The outdoor exhaust duct is connected to the induced air duct. The outdoor exhaust duct is used as an emergency exhaust port and is opened in the case of maintenance / failure of the integrated air cooling unit. At the same time, the doors and windows of the frequency conversion room are opened to let in air, which can ensure the stable operation of the frequency converter.
[0043] Second: Air cooling system is used in the electrical room
[0044] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the electrical room is designed with a fully enclosed internal cooling cycle, and the integrated air-cooled unit is installed outdoors. The hot air exhausted by the fan of the SVG equipment during operation is collected through the indoor air duct (original), and the main air duct is made outdoors. The main air duct is connected to the indoor air duct and the induced draft duct is connected to each integrated air-cooled unit for internal cooling and heat dissipation. The cooled cold air is sent back to the room, and the fan of the heat unit takes away; in a further preferred embodiment, an outdoor exhaust duct is also provided, and an electric air valve is provided at the outlet end of the outdoor exhaust duct. The outdoor exhaust duct is connected to the induced draft duct. The outdoor exhaust duct serves as an emergency exhaust port and is opened in case of maintenance / failure of the integrated air-cooled unit. At the same time, the doors and windows of the electrical room are opened to let in air, which can ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0045] Third: Air cooling system is used in low voltage frequency conversion room
[0046] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the low-voltage frequency conversion room is designed with an integrated air-cooled unit cooling cycle. The whole equipment is installed outdoors. A main air duct is made above the indoor frequency converter to collect the heat generated by the frequency converter operation. The hot air is led to the integrated air-cooled unit through the induced draft duct for cooling and heat dissipation. The cooled cold air is sent back to the room, and the heat is taken away by the unit. In a further preferred embodiment, an outdoor exhaust duct is also provided on the side of the induced draft duct, near the connection position between it and the integrated air-cooled unit. A fresh air valve and a matching fresh air filter are provided at the outlet end of the outdoor exhaust duct. In summer, when the outside environment temperature is high and the indoor temperature is high, the unit automatically turns on the compressor for internal circulation refrigeration. In winter, when the outside environment temperature is low and the indoor temperature is high, the unit stops the compressor, opens the fresh air valve, turns on the fresh air function, and delivers fresh air to the room according to the set temperature. The fresh air passes through the filter device and enters the room for cooling.
[0047] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the design principle and technical solution of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
