[0030] The utility model can run different working modes:
[0031] (1) When the electrochemical energy storage is being charged or discharged and the humidity is normal, select the PCS cooling + battery cooling mode. The specific operation steps are as follows:
[0032] The compressor 1 is turned on, the battery water pump 5A is turned on, the heating device 6 is not working, the battery throttling device 3A is turned on, and the PCS throttling device 3B is turned on. At this time, the compressor 1 enters the air-cooled heat exchanger 2 after compression and exhausts, and condenses and dissipates heat. After appropriate throttling by the PCS throttling device 3B, 35°C high-temperature cold water is provided to the PCS. The PCS water pump 5B is turned on to transport high-temperature cold water into the PCS coolant channel to achieve PCS cooling. The coolant itself is heated and returns to the PCS heat exchanger 4B to transfer heat to the refrigerant, and the cycle continues. Then the refrigerant passes through the regenerator 7 and the heat exchanger 4B. The coil 8 undergoes heat exchange to achieve supercooling, and enters the battery throttling device 3A again to achieve throttling and pressure reduction, providing the battery with 18°C medium-temperature cold water to achieve battery cooling. The battery water pump 5A delivers the coolant to the cooling channel of the battery PACK, absorbs the heat generated by the battery and transfers it to the coolant. The coolant itself rises in temperature and returns to the coolant channel of the battery heat exchanger 4A. The coolant with a higher temperature is cooled by the heat exchange of the battery heat exchanger 4A, and is delivered to the cooling channel of the battery PACK again under the action of the battery water pump 5A for refrigeration. This cycle dissipates heat for the battery.
[0033] (2) When the electrochemical energy storage is in the transition season or the low temperature season in winter, and charging and discharging are required at this time, select the PCS non-cooling + battery heating mode: The specific operation steps are as follows:
[0034] The battery water pump 5A is turned on, the heating device 6 is turned off, the battery throttling device 3A is turned on, and the PCS throttling device 3B is fully opened. No throttling and pressure reduction are performed. The coolant directly passes through the regenerator and enters the battery throttling device 3A. The coolant is throttled and pressure reduced. The coolant with a higher temperature is cooled by the heat exchange of the battery heat exchanger 4A. The battery water pump 5A delivers the coolant to the cooling channel of the battery PACK, absorbs the heat generated by the battery and transfers it to the coolant. The coolant itself is heated up and returns to the coolant channel of the battery heat exchanger 4A. The coolant is then delivered to the cooling channel of the battery PACK again by the action of the battery water pump 5A for cooling. This cycle dissipates heat for the battery.
[0035] (3) When the electrochemical energy storage is in the low temperature season in winter and is not working in the charge and discharge mode but only in the standby state, select the PCS non-cooling + battery heating mode. The specific operation steps of the PCS non-cooling + battery heating mode are as follows:
[0036] The compressor 1 is turned off, and the heating device 6 starts working. At the same time, the battery water pump 5A also works, the battery throttling device 3A is turned off, and the PCS throttling device 3B is turned off. The coolant with a higher temperature is transported to the cooling channel of the battery PACK through the battery water pump 5A for heating. The cooled coolant is further heated and heated by the heating device 6, and then transported to the cooling channel of the battery PACK for heating again. This cycle heats the battery.
