Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water cooling machine cleaning, in particular to a self-cleaning water cooling machine system. Background Art
[0002] A water chiller, also known as a chiller, is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant flow, and constant pressure. It is divided into two types: air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers. The working principle of a water chiller is to use the specific heat and pressure of water as a heat transfer medium to absorb heat from the surrounding environment and transfer it to the water to achieve the purpose of lowering the water temperature. Due to the large specific heat, high thermal conductivity, and easy solubility in water, which is conducive to absorbing and conducting heat, water can be used as an intermediate medium for refrigeration units.
[0003] As a common cooling equipment, chillers are widely used in various industrial production and scientific experiments. However, during the use of traditional water chillers, problems such as scaling and microbial growth can easily lead to reduced cooling efficiency and even affect the normal operation of the equipment.
[0004] Existing technical solutions usually adopt regular manual cleaning or adding chemical cleaning agents to clean the water tank inside the water cooler. However, during the cleaning process, these methods not only require the water tank in the machine body to be completely disassembled, making the work process cumbersome, but also manual cleaning is difficult to clean the four corners of the water tank and the intersection of the pipe without damaging the water tank, resulting in an ineffective cleaning effect. The cleaning effect of the existing manual cleaning process is unstable and easily causes damage to the equipment. Utility Model Content
