[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0022] The embodiment of the utility model includes a heat exchanger 1, a switching mechanism 2, a filter 3, an auxiliary pipeline 4, a laminator 8 and a plant air conditioning system.

[0023] The air conditioning system of the plant area includes an open cooling tower 5, an air conditioner 6 and a chiller 7. The open cooling tower 5 and the chiller 7 are arranged in the power station of the plant building, and the air conditioner 6 is arranged in each room of the plant building and other places requiring air conditioning. The open cooling tower 5 is connected to an open cooling tower pipeline 51, the air conditioner 6 is connected to an air conditioning pipeline 61, and the chiller 7 is connected to a chiller pipeline 71. The air conditioning pipeline 61 is connected to the chiller 7.

[0024] The laminator 8 is connected to a laminator pipeline 81, which is connected to the hot side of the heat exchanger 1, and the cold side pipeline 11 is connected to the cold side of the heat exchanger 1. The function of the heat exchanger 1 is: the fluid in the open cooling tower 5 or the fluid in the chiller 7 flows into the cold side as a cold source, and the high-temperature fluid (usually 35°C) that absorbs the heat of the laminator 8 flows into the hot side. Through heat exchange, this high-temperature fluid is cooled to 25°C and returns to the laminator 8 to continuously cool the equipment. The heat exchanger 1 is a plate heat exchanger.

[0025] The auxiliary pipeline 4 is connected to the air conditioning pipeline 61. The auxiliary pipeline 4 is used to connect the cold side of the heat exchanger 1 and different cold sources to ensure that the entire circulation system works continuously after switching the system between summer and winter.

[0026] A filter 3 is installed on the cold side pipeline 11. The function of the filter 3 is: in winter, the fluid with impurities in the open cooling tower 5 is used as a cold source to enter the cold side of the heat exchanger 1 through the filter 3. The filter 3 ensures that the fluid entering the heat exchanger 1 is free of impurities after filtration, which plays an important role in extending the service life of the heat exchanger 1 and the heat exchange efficiency.

[0027] A switching mechanism 2 is provided between the cold side pipeline 11, the open cooling tower pipeline 51, the chiller pipeline 71 and the auxiliary pipeline 4. Under the switching action of the switching mechanism 2, the above four pipelines switch between the following two states: State 1: In summer, the open cooling tower pipeline 51 is connected to the chiller pipeline 71 through the switching mechanism 2, and the cold side pipeline 11 is connected to the auxiliary pipeline 4 through the switching mechanism 2; State 2: In winter, the open cooling tower pipeline 51 is connected to the cold side pipeline 11 through the switching mechanism 2, and the other two pipelines are cut off. The function of the switching mechanism 2 is to switch different heat exchange systems according to summer and winter to ensure that the cold source entering the heat exchanger 1 can meet the cooling demand of the laminator 8.

[0028] The switching mechanism 2 includes a base 21, a rotating telescopic shaft 22, a pipe rack 23, a first transition connecting pipe 24 and a second transition connecting pipe 25. The base 21 is the general support of the switching mechanism 2. A bolt mounting hole 26 is provided on the base 21, which can be fixed to the ground by expansion bolts, and the construction and installation are more flexible. The rotating telescopic shaft 22 is installed on the base 21, and can rotate and telescope itself. The pipe rack 23 is installed on the rotating telescopic shaft 22, and can be made of H-shaped steel, which is easy to purchase. The first transition connecting pipe 24 and the second transition connecting pipe 25 are installed on the pipe rack 23. The first transition connecting pipe 24 and the second transition connecting pipe 25 can be adapted to the connecting pipe sections of the loop system with different elevations by adjusting the telescopic length of the rotating telescopic shaft 22, and the winter and summer heat exchange systems can be switched by rotating the rotating telescopic shaft 22; the first transition connecting pipe 24 and the second transition connecting pipe 25 are provided with quick adapters or flanges to facilitate mutual connection after switching the system. In state 1, the open cooling tower pipeline 51 is connected to the chiller pipeline 71 through the first transition connecting pipe 24, and the cold side pipeline 11 is connected to the auxiliary pipeline 4 through the second transition connecting pipe 25; in state 2, the open cooling tower pipeline 51 is connected to the cold side pipeline 11 through the first transition connecting pipe 24, the second transition connecting pipe 25 is idle, and the other two pipelines are cut off. The switching mechanism 2 can also be implemented by a switching valve group.

[0029] In summer, the air conditioner 6 is turned on indoors, and the circulating water of the open cooling tower 5 passes through the chiller 7 along the switching mechanism 2. At this time, the switching mechanism 2 is in Figure 2 At the position shown, the cooling water discharged from the chiller 7 enters the factory building to cool the air conditioner 6 in one way, and enters the heat exchanger 1 through the auxiliary pipeline 4 connected to the switching mechanism 2 in the other way, and exchanges heat and cools the circulating cooling water used by the laminator 8 in the factory building, ensuring that the cooling water temperature entering the laminator 8 is 25°C.

[0030] When it is winter, the indoor air conditioner 6 is turned off and the switching mechanism 2 is in Figure 3At the position shown, the circulating water in the open cooling tower 5 can be used as a cold source due to the low outdoor temperature, flows through the switching mechanism 2 into the auxiliary pipeline 4, and finally exchanges heat and cools down with the circulating cooling water used by the laminator 8 in the factory building inside the heat exchanger 1, ensuring that the cooling water temperature entering the laminator 8 is 25°C. This system ensures that the circulating cooling water used by the laminator 8 is a closed cycle regardless of summer or winter, ensuring the water quality of the circulating water, which plays an important role in extending the service life of the laminator 8 and ensuring the quality stability of the photovoltaic products produced.
