BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0016] Figure 1 The utility model is a structural schematic diagram of an energy-saving marine central air-conditioning system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an energy-saving marine central air-conditioning system, including a refrigerant water system consisting of a fan coil 8, a refrigerant water pump 9, a chiller 5, and a seawater plate heat exchanger 4. In the refrigerant water system, the outlet of the fan coil 8 is connected to the inlet of the refrigerant water pump 9 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the refrigerant water pump 9 has two pipelines, one of which is connected to the inlet of the chiller 5, and the other is connected to the inlet of the seawater plate heat exchanger 4. The outlet of the chiller 5 and the outlet of the seawater plate heat exchanger 4 are respectively connected to the inlet of the fan coil 8 through pipelines, thereby forming a refrigerant water system, with the seawater plate heat exchanger 4 or the chiller 5 as a cold source, and heat exchange is completed through the seawater plate heat exchanger 4 or the chiller 5 and the fan coil 8, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling and cooling each cabin of the ship. Among them, the inlet pipeline of the chiller 5 is connected to a marine stop valve II6, and the inlet pipeline of the seawater plate heat exchanger 4 is connected to a marine stop valve I7. The two marine stop valves are used to switch different cold sources in the refrigerant water system.
[0019] This embodiment also includes an auxiliary system consisting of an isolation water replenishment meter 1, an exhaust device 2, and a closed pressure expansion tank 3. Among them:
[0020] The inlet of the isolation water make-up meter 1 is connected to the ship's water supply system. A check valve is arranged inside the isolation water make-up meter 1 to prevent water from the refrigerant water system from flowing back into the ship's water supply system and polluting the ship's water supply system. The outlet of the isolation water make-up meter 1 is connected to a water inlet of the exhaust device 2 through a pipeline.
[0021] The second water inlet of the exhaust device 2 is connected to the pipeline in the refrigerant water system through a pipeline, and the exhaust device 2 has a water outlet connected to the pipeline in the refrigerant water system through a pipeline, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the second water inlet and the water outlet of the exhaust device 2 are respectively connected to different positions of the pipeline between the fan coil 8 and the refrigerant water pump 9 through pipelines. The exhaust port of the exhaust device 2 leads to the external environment.
[0022] The inlet of the closed pressure expansion tank 3 is connected to the pipeline in the refrigerant water system through a pipeline, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the inlet of the closed pressure expansion tank 3 is connected to the fan coil 8 and the refrigerant water pump 9 through a pipeline. The outlet of the closed pressure expansion tank 3 is connected to the sewage pipe on the ship.
[0023] The isolated water replenishment meter 1 can automatically determine the water replenishment timing and water replenishment amount according to the set pressure to realize automatic water replenishment. During water replenishment, the isolated water replenishment meter 1 transports water from the ship's water supply system to the exhaust device 2, and removes the air in the replenished water through the exhaust device 2, reducing the entry of air during water replenishment. The water with air removed is finally sent to the pipeline of the refrigerant water system through the water outlet of the exhaust device 2, thereby realizing the water replenishment function.
[0024] The second water inlet and outlet of the exhaust device 2 are connected to different positions of the pipeline between the fan coil 8 and the refrigerant water pump 9 through pipelines, respectively, to remove water from the refrigerant water system pipeline. Among them, the distance between the connection positions of the second water inlet and the water outlet on the refrigerant water pipeline is not less than 500mm to ensure the efficient operation of the exhaust device 2. If the distance is too small, the refrigerant water after degassing may be sucked into the exhaust device 2 again, which will reduce the working efficiency of the exhaust device 2. The exhaust device 2 itself is equipped with a working water pump, through which the water containing air in the refrigerant water system is sucked into the exhaust device 2, and the water is degassed and then sent to the pipeline of the refrigerant water system 2. The removed air is discharged from the exhaust port of the exhaust device 2.
[0025] The closed pressure expansion tank 3 is connected to the pipeline in the refrigerant water system through a pipeline to balance the pressure in the pipeline of the refrigerant water system.
[0026] Therefore, through the auxiliary system, the functions of automatic water replenishment, exhaust, pressure stabilization and water discharge of the refrigerant water system of the air-conditioning system can be realized, making the operation of the refrigerant water system more efficient and stable.
[0027] The major energy consumer and main noise source in the marine air-conditioning system comes from the chiller, which generally consumes more than 80% of the energy of the entire air-conditioning system. The noise of the chiller is generally above 75dB (A). In this embodiment, a seawater plate heat exchanger 4 is added. The seawater plate heat exchanger 4 and the chiller 5 are connected in parallel. They can both be used as the cold source of the air conditioner. In non-extremely hot weather, the seawater plate heat exchanger 4 can replace the chiller 5 to provide a cold source, and the chiller 5 does not need to be started. This can greatly save the power consumption of the air conditioner and reduce the noise on board.
[0028] The isolated water replenishment meter 1 used in this embodiment can minimize the water in the air-conditioning system from flowing back to the domestic water system, thereby effectively reducing the probability of domestic water on board being contaminated.
[0029] The exhaust device 2 adopted in this embodiment can timely remove the air in the air-conditioning water system, reduce the air content in the water system, thereby reducing cavitation of the water pump and improving the working efficiency and reliability of the water pump. The low air content in the refrigerant water system can make the heat exchange coil in the fan coil 8 filled with refrigerant water as much as possible, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the fan coil 8. On the contrary, if the heat exchange coil contains a large amount of air, it will occupy a large amount of effective heat exchange area of the coil, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency.
[0030] The diaphragm bag of the closed pressure expansion tank 3 used in this embodiment can compensate for the volume change of the refrigerant water caused by thermal expansion and contraction, stabilize the pressure in the system, reduce the probability of water hammer in the system, and improve the working stability and reliability of the entire system.
