[0036] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: during operation, the high-temperature and high-pressure oil-gas mixture discharged by the compressor 1 enters the oil-gas separator 2, and after the oil and gas are separated in the oil-gas separator 2, the separated lubricating oil returns to the compressor 1, and the separated high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the fin-tube condenser 4, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas condenses and releases heat in the fin-tube condenser 4 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid. The heat released by the condensation of the refrigerant is taken away by the air flowing through the fin-type condenser 4, and is sent into the surrounding air by the exhaust fan 3, and the high-temperature The high-pressure refrigerant liquid is filtered by the drying filter 5 and divided into three paths. The first path is connected to the low-pressure suction port of the compressor 1. The on-off of the second solenoid valve 14 is automatically controlled according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor 1 to control the exhaust temperature of the compressor 1. The second path enters the main liquid pipe side of the economizer 9 for supercooling. The third path flows to the first expansion valve 8 through the first solenoid valve 7. After throttling by the first expansion valve 8, it enters the gas pipe side of the economizer 9 to vaporize and absorb heat to supercool the refrigerant in the main liquid pipe. The refrigerant that absorbs heat and vaporizes in the economizer 9 flows out of the economizer 9 and enters the energy-saving port of the compressor 1. The supercooled refrigerant liquid flows to the second expansion valve 11, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture after being throttled by the second expansion valve 11. The low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture enters the evaporator 12, and the refrigerant liquid vaporizes and absorbs heat in the evaporator 12, absorbing heat from the cold water flowing through the evaporator 12 to cool the cold water. After the refrigerant vaporizes in the evaporator 12, it flows to the gas-liquid separator 13, and is sucked into the compressor 1 after gas-liquid separation in the gas-liquid separator 13, and is discharged after being pressurized to enter the next cycle. At this time, the internal circulation water pump 19 is started, and the internal circulation water pump 19 provides power to circulate the chilled water between the evaporator 12 and the chilled water tank 20, so as to cool the chilled water in the chilled water tank 20.

The control system automatically adjusts according to the detected pressure signal; when the pressure parameter is abnormal and reaches the warning value and an accident occurs, the unit is shut down due to a fault or a protective operation is performed, and an alarm signal is issued.

[0037] The mine chiller is connected to the air handling unit through the first water pipe 25 and the second water pipe 26.

The hot and humid air in the workplace is filtered by the filter 27 and enters the finned tube cooler 28. The hot and humid air exchanges heat with the finned tube cooler 28. After the hot and humid air is cooled and dehumidified, it is pressurized by the blower 29 and sent into the working environment to cool and dehumidify the working environment. A flow meter 23 is installed on the external circulation water pipeline.

[0038] The air handling unit of the utility model is designed as a movable structure, which can move with the moving surface of the working area, and only cools and dehumidifies the working area, reducing the investment in equipment and energy consumption. The utility model is designed as a split structure for placing the mine chiller in the place where the mine tunnel exhaust passes, which is conducive to taking the condensed heat out of the mine tunnel, controlling the condensation temperature of the mine chiller, and reducing energy consumption. The connecting pipes of the mine chiller and the air handling unit adopt multiple quick-connect insulation hoses, which can be freely adjusted according to the distance between the mine chiller and the air handling unit. The external circulation water pump of the mine chiller adopts a variable frequency water pump, and the control system automatically adjusts the frequency of the variable frequency water pump according to the detected external circulation water flow rate, to ensure the water supply capacity of the chilled water and the refrigeration effect of the unit. The finned tube condenser of the mine chiller and the finned tube surface cooler of the air handling unit are designed with a large fin spacing, and the unit has a strong dust resistance. The refrigeration system of the mining chiller improves the energy efficiency and high temperature adaptability of the unit by adding economizers and adding liquid spray at the suction port.
