Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of low-temperature grain storage systems, and in particular relates to a cross-seasonal and nighttime composite cold storage air conditioning system based on low-temperature grain storage. Background Art
[0002] Low-temperature grain storage is recognized as an ideal green grain storage technology. This technology uses refrigeration equipment to maintain the average temperature of the grain pile below 15°C, and the local maximum temperature is not higher than 20°C. At this temperature, the basal metabolic rate of grain drops significantly, various indicators remain stable, the growth and reproduction of microorganisms are inhibited, and the grain storage time is increased from 2-3 years to 3-5 years. The direct loss rate of grain caused by factors such as aging and mildew is reduced from 8% to 3%, and the shelf life and storage period of grain are increased. The harm that chemical agents may cause to the human body is greatly reduced, and food safety is guaranteed. However, the refrigeration equipment used in low-temperature grain storage consumes huge electricity costs and incidental carbon emissions during operation, resulting in it not being widely used in the actual grain storage process. According to statistics, the idle rate of grain coolers, air conditioners and other equipment specially used for mechanical refrigeration of grain warehouses exceeds 50%. One of the important reasons is that the refrigeration equipment required to maintain the temperature and humidity conditions of the grain warehouse has high operating power and high energy consumption. Therefore, accelerating the improvement of low-temperature grain storage technology and improving storage efficiency is the key to strengthening grain storage loss reduction.
[0003] At present, in view of the high operating power and high energy consumption of traditional refrigeration equipment, the cross-season cold storage system is an effective solution. For example, CN115264679A discloses a cross-season cold storage system using CO2 hydrate as a cold storage material. The system stores the natural cold energy in winter and releases it in summer to provide cold for the granary, greatly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, if the summer cooling of the granary is met entirely by the cross-season cold storage system, a huge cold storage volume will be required, the investment cost will be large, and it will be difficult to guarantee the cooling demand throughout the summer due to the randomness of meteorological conditions. In view of this situation, the use of a cross-season and nighttime composite cold storage air conditioning system is an effective way to reduce the operating energy consumption and cost of granary refrigeration equipment. The cross-season and nighttime composite cold storage air conditioning systems are combined to store cold during the low electricity price at night, and release cold during the day to meet the cooling demand, reduce operating costs, and facilitate the reasonable scheduling of the power grid.
