Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the figures are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , a high-efficiency fresh air heating system for a combined central air conditioner of the utility model is shown. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a fresh air heating subsystem and a waste heat recovery subsystem. The fresh air heating subsystem includes a shell 1, in which a return air section 11, a mixing air section 12 and an air supply section 13 are arranged in sequence. The mixing air section 12 is connected to a fresh air section 14. It also includes a waste heat recovery subsystem. A heat exchanger and a temperature sensor 141 are arranged in the fresh air section 14. The heat exchanger is used to exchange heat of the waste heat recovery subsystem to preheat the fresh air in the fresh air section 14. The temperature sensor 141 is used to monitor whether the preheated fresh air meets the demand.

[0023] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger is a fin heat exchanger 2 with a vortex generator 222, specifically, as Figure 2As shown, the fin heat exchanger 2 includes a heat exchange tube 21 and a plurality of mutually parallel continuous fins 22. The continuous fins 22 are directly welded to the shell 1 and can play a fixing role. Figure 3 As shown, the heat exchange tube 21 includes a main body 211, a liquid inlet 212 and a liquid outlet 213 respectively passing through the shell 1. The main body 211 of the heat exchange tube 21 is in a parallel serpentine tube shape, which is collected by two collecting pipes, and then the liquid inlet 212 and the liquid outlet 213 are respectively opened on the two collecting pipes; a plurality of fin openings 221 for the main body 211 of the heat exchange tube 21 to pass through are opened on the continuous fin 22, and two vortex flow control devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides below the fin opening 221 of each continuous fin 22. The generator 222 makes four vortex generators 222 on the leeward side of each heat exchange tube passing through the fin opening 221 on both sides of the fin. The vortex generators 222 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the continuous fin 22 and are located below the fin opening 221 of each continuous fin 22. The vortex generators 222 suppress the separation of air on the leeward side of the heat exchange tube body, reduce the area of ​​the wake region, and improve the heat transfer performance on the leeward side, thereby improving the overall heat exchange performance of the fin heat exchanger.

[0024] The waste heat recovery subsystem includes a plate heat exchanger 3, which is provided with a hot fluid inlet, a hot fluid outlet, a cold fluid inlet and a cold fluid outlet. The hot fluid inlet is used to connect to the high-temperature cooling water of the external air compressor unit 9, the hot fluid outlet is connected to the liquid inlet 212 of the fin heat exchanger 2, the cold fluid inlet is connected to the liquid outlet 213 of the fin heat exchanger 2, and the cold fluid outlet is used to connect to the low-temperature cooling water of the external air compressor unit 9. A pressure pump 4 is provided between the hot fluid inlet and the air compressor unit 9. The pressure pump 4 is a high temperature resistant centrifugal pump, which is used to provide power for the hot fluid (i.e., high temperature cooling water) to flow. An insulation water tank 5 and an electric regulating valve 6 are provided in sequence between the hot fluid outlet and the liquid inlet 212 of the fin heat exchanger 2. The insulation water tank 5 is made of stainless steel and is used to cache the hot fluid (i.e., high temperature circulating water). The flow of the high temperature circulating water entering the fin heat exchanger 2 is adjusted through the electric regulating valve 6. The high temperature circulating water enters the fin heat exchanger 2 and exchanges heat with the outside fresh air to become low temperature circulating water. At the same time, the outside fresh air is preheated. A water collecting tank 7 and a centrifugal pump 8 are provided in sequence between the liquid outlet 213 of the fin heat exchanger 2 and the cold fluid inlet. The water collecting tank 7 is used to temporarily store the low temperature circulating water discharged from the liquid outlet 213, and provides flow pressure through the centrifugal pump 8, and returns to the plate heat exchanger 3 to exchange heat again as high temperature circulating water. By providing the insulation water tank 5 and the water collecting tank 7, the system redundancy capacity of the heating system is improved and the reliability of the system is guaranteed.

[0025] It can be understood that the existing combined central air conditioner also has many parts that are not involved in the present utility model, such as the control system, the temperature sensor 141 of the fresh air section 14 detects the preheated fresh air temperature and transmits the detection data to the controller of the control system. The controller adjusts the electric regulating valve 6 by adjusting the actuator of the control system, and then adjusts the hot water flow of the heat exchanger to achieve the adjustment of the fresh air preheating temperature; for example, an existing filtering device, a refrigeration device, a heating device, a humidifying device and corresponding sensors are also provided between the mixing section and the air supply section in the shell 1, which are used to process the fresh air after mixing with the return air to meet the process requirements of the workshop.

[0026] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0027] When the combined central air conditioner is running, when the fresh air mode is turned on, the fin heat exchanger 2 with the vortex generator 222 in the fresh air section 14 starts to work to preheat the fresh air from the outside. When the fresh air from the outside flows through the vortex generator 222, vortices will be generated, so that the boundary layer of the fresh air fluid is destroyed, thereby achieving the effect of enhanced heat exchange; the temperature sensor 141 of the fresh air section 14 detects the temperature of the preheated fresh air, and transmits the detection data to the controller of the control system. The controller adjusts the actuator of the control system, that is, adjusts the electric regulating valve 6, and then adjusts the heat source flow of the fin heat exchanger 2 to achieve the adjustment of the fresh air preheating temperature. The heated fresh air is subsequently mixed with the return air, and then enters each production workshop after subsequent processing.

[0028] In this process, the heat source of the fin heat exchanger 2 is mainly the waste heat generated by the air compressor unit 9, that is, the high-temperature cooling water of the air compressor unit 9 is heat exchanged through the plate heat exchanger 3, and the low-temperature circulating water is converted into high-temperature circulating water and sent to the insulated water tank 5. The water enters the fin heat exchanger 2 with the vortex generator 222 through the electric regulating valve 6 to exchange heat with the fresh air. The normal temperature circulating water after heat exchange flows back to the water collecting tank 7, and after being pressurized by the centrifugal pump 8, it enters the plate heat exchanger 3 to be heat exchanged again into high-temperature circulating water, and the cycle continues.

[0029] The utility model utilizes the high-temperature cooling water generated by the waste heat of the air compressor unit 9 and the fin heat exchanger 2 with a vortex generator 222. On the one hand, it makes good use of the waste heat of the power equipment (the air compressor unit in this embodiment) to improve the overall energy utilization rate of the power equipment in the power workshop. On the other hand, it has a higher heat exchange efficiency than conventional fin heat exchangers. By recycling the existing waste heat of the air compressor unit 9 to preheat the fresh air at a lower temperature, the energy consumption during the subsequent heating of the mixed air can be reduced, thereby achieving energy-saving effects.

Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model. The technology, shape, and structure that are not described in detail in the utility model are all well-known technologies.
