[0017] Embodiment 1:
[0018] See also Figure 1 A multi-stage high-efficiency evaporative cooling chiller comprises a first air pipe 1, a compressor 3, a second air pipe 11 and an evaporative cooling unit 14, one end of the first air pipe 1 is connected to the evaporator, and the other end of the first air pipe 1 is connected to the four-way valve 4, the four-way valve 4 is respectively connected to the input end and the output end of the compressor 3, and the four-way valve 4 is also respectively connected to the first ball valve 7 and the second ball valve 8, the other end of the second ball valve 8 is connected to the fourth ball valve 15 through the second air pipe 11, and the fourth ball valve 15 is connected to the cold evaporation unit; the cold evaporation unit is connected to one end of the second liquid pipe 10 through the water pump 13, and the second A controller 12 is installed at the connection end between the liquid pipe 10 and the evaporative cooling unit 14. A temperature sensor is arranged inside the controller 12. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the outlet temperature of the cold steam. The second liquid pipe 10 is connected to the condenser 6. A third ball valve 9 is arranged between the condenser 6 and the second liquid pipe 10. The condenser 6 is connected to the first liquid pipe 2. An electronic expansion valve 5 is arranged between the first liquid pipe 2 and the condenser 6. The other end of the first liquid pipe 2 is connected to the evaporator. By closing the first ball valve 7 and opening the second ball valve 8 and the third ball valve 9, the unit is started and the evaporative cooling machine is started. After the operation is stable By comparing the refrigerant outlet temperature of the evaporative cooling and the refrigerant saturation temperature corresponding to the high pressure after the unit is started, assuming that the refrigerant saturation temperature of the original unit is 45°C, when the refrigerant outlet temperature after the evaporative cooling is started is lower than the refrigerant saturation temperature of the original unit, it means that there is a temperature difference of 3 degrees, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved. When the outlet temperature of the evaporative cooling is lower than 42 degrees, the low pressure of the unit is 8kg. When the pressure is lower than 8kg, an alarm is prompted. The low pressure is set to be not less than 6kg. The condensing temperature pressure difference can be greater than 3 degrees. The temperature is adjusted by adjusting the water flow rate by the fourth ball valve 15. The water flow rate directly determines the heat taken away and the temperature of the evaporative cooling outlet. By adjusting the size of the fourth ball valve 15, the energy-saving system can run smoothly. By adding the evaporative cooling unit 14 to the original cooling circuit, and under the premise of not affecting the refrigerant filling amount of the original system as much as possible, the evaporative cooling product is designed according to the digestion of 25% to 50% of the condensation heat dissipation to design the condensing area of the evaporative cooling unit, reduce the operating high pressure to improve the product energy efficiency, and the compressor can also operate in the most optimized environment, so that it can be suitable for extremely high temperature weather, and at the same time it is beneficial to increase the life of the compressor.
[0019] Embodiment 2:
[0020] The second air pipe 11 and the second liquid pipe 10 are connected to each other through the first ball valve 7. The connecting end of the first ball valve 7 and the second air pipe 11 is located between the second ball valve 8 and the four-way valve 4. The connecting end of the first ball valve 7 and the second liquid pipe 10 is located between the third ball valve 9 and the condenser 6. The cold and hot circuits of the unit are switched by switching the first ball valve 7. A temperature monitoring device and a pressure monitoring device are provided on the compressor 3. The temperature monitoring device is used to monitor the refrigerant temperature at the input and output ends of the compressor 3. The pressure monitoring device is used to monitor the refrigerant pressure at the input and output ends of the compressor 3, which is beneficial to real-time monitoring of the refrigerant inlet and outlet temperatures of the evaporative cooling product.
[0021] Embodiment 3:
[0022] The compressor 3, the four-way valve 4, the first ball valve 7, the condenser 6, and the electronic expansion valve 5 are connected in sequence to form a heating circuit. When the first ball valve 7 is opened, the second ball valve 8 and the third ball valve 9 are in a closed state; the compressor 3, the four-way valve 4, the second ball valve 8, the evaporative cooling unit 14, the water pump 13, the third ball valve 9, the condenser 6, and the electronic expansion valve 5 are connected in sequence to form a refrigeration circuit.

By closing the first ball valve 7, the second ball valve 8 and the third ball valve 9 are opened. Ball valve 9, when the unit is turned on for cooling operation, the evaporative heat exchanger is at the low-pressure side when the heating operation is performed. It is necessary to close the second ball valve 8 and the third ball valve 9 and open the first ball valve 7 to close the evaporative heat exchanger, and the refrigerant returns to the compressor 3 through the bypass pipe; at least a portion of the second air pipe 11 and the second liquid pipe 10 form a coil, and the evaporative cooling unit 14 exchanges heat with the coil part of the second air pipe 11 and the second liquid pipe 10. The coil-like structure is conducive to improving the heat exchange efficiency of the second air pipe 11 and the second liquid pipe 10 and the evaporative cooling unit 14.
[0023] Working principle: by closing the first ball valve 7, opening the second ball valve 8 and the third ball valve 9, the unit is started for refrigeration operation, the compressor 3 compresses the air, and compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure condensing air into high-temperature, high-pressure hot compressed air, and the hot compressed air enters the evaporative cooling unit 14 with heat energy, the evaporative cooling unit 14 absorbs heat energy, releases heat, and the condensed air is discharged and returns to a low-temperature, low-pressure state; the low-temperature, low-pressure condensing air is drawn into the condenser 6, and is heated again in the condenser 6 to become low-temperature steam, and at the same time the condenser 6 cools the low-temperature cooling water; the low-temperature steam passes through the expansion valve, is converted into a low-temperature, low-pressure state, and enters the compressor 3 again for circulation processing, thereby achieving the refrigeration effect of the evaporative cooling chiller.
