Specific embodiments

[0021] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, rather than for limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, a machine room refrigeration system disclosed by the present invention that is conducive to energy conservation includes a chiller 1. On one side of the chiller 1, there are a water supply pipeline 2 and a water return pipeline 3. The return water of the water return pipeline 3 cools the machine room and then flows back to the soft water tank 4 provided on the water supply side. The soft water tank 4 is connected to the soft water treatment device 14. On the other side of the chiller 1, there is a cooling tower 5. A circulation pipeline is formed between the cooling tower 5 and the chiller 1. Between the cooling tower 5 and the soft water tank 4, there is a plate heat exchanger unit 6. The plate heat exchanger unit 6 is connected in parallel with the chiller 1. The high-temperature end of the plate heat exchanger unit 6 and the cooling tower 5 form an independent cooling water circulation, and the low-temperature end of the plate heat exchanger unit 6 and the machine room and the soft water tank 4 form an independent chilled water circulation. With such a structure, by adding the plate heat exchanger unit 6, in seasons with relatively low temperatures, such as autumn and winter, when the outdoor temperature is relatively low, at this time, the low-temperature water outdoors is introduced through the water supply pipeline 2. After passing through the plate heat exchanger unit 6, the temperature of the water in the water return pipeline 3 can be further reduced, and then it is introduced into the machine room to cool the machine room. And through the cooling tower 5, the high-temperature water after heat exchange by the plate heat exchanger unit 6 can be cooled and then recycled. At the same time, in this process, the chiller 1 does not need to be turned on, which can reduce the energy consumption of the chiller 1 and can select the use of the chiller 1 or the plate heat exchanger unit 6 according to the characteristics of the season, which is conducive to energy conservation.

[0023] Furthermore, the cold end water inlet pipe 7 and the cold end water outlet pipe 8 of the chilled water circulation are respectively connected to the water supply pipeline 2 and the water return pipeline 3. Valves are provided on both the cold end water inlet pipe 7 and the cold end water outlet pipe 8. At the same time, valves are also provided between the chiller 1 and the water supply pipeline 2 and the water return pipeline 3. In this way, it is possible to select the chiller 1 or the plate heat exchanger unit 6 for operation according to needs. Moreover, a chilled water pump group 9 is provided on the water supply pipeline 2, and the chilled water pump group 9 can improve the circulation efficiency of the chilled water.

[0024] Further, the hot-end water inlet pipe 10 and the hot-end water outlet pipe 11 of the cooling water circulation are respectively connected to the cooling tower outlet pipe 12 and the cooling tower inlet pipe 13, and valves are provided on both the hot-end water inlet pipe 10 and the hot-end water outlet pipe 11. At the same time, valves are provided between the cold water unit 1 and the hot-end water inlet pipe 10 and the hot-end water outlet pipe 11 of the cooling tower 5, so that the corresponding valves can be opened or closed as needed to realize the selection of the cold water unit 1 or the plate heat exchanger unit 6; moreover, a cooling water pump group 15 is provided on the cooling tower outlet pipe 12, and the cooling water circulation efficiency can be improved through the cooling water pump group 15.

[0025] During use, such as in autumn and winter when the outdoor temperature is relatively low, at this time, the water at a low outdoor temperature of 20°C - 25°C is introduced through the water supply pipe 2, and only the plate heat exchanger unit 6 is enabled. The temperature of the water in the return water pipe 3 can be further reduced to 12°C - 18°C, and then introduced into the computer room for cooling the computer room. In summer when the temperature is relatively high, the cold water unit 1 can be normally used for cooling the computer room, which is beneficial to energy conservation.

[0026] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any form of confidentiality restrictions on the present invention. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical content of the present invention and according to the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
