[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present utility model have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the embodiments of the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a computer room air conditioning system, which includes: a first compressor 1, a condenser 2, a first expansion valve 3, a fluorine pump 4, an evaporator 5, and an energy storage module 6.

[0041] The outlet of the first compressor 1 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 2, the outlet of the condenser 2 is respectively connected to the inlet of the first expansion valve 3 and the inlet of the fluorine pump 4, the outlets of the first expansion valve 3 and the fluorine pump 4 are respectively connected to the inlet of the evaporator 5, and the inlet of the evaporator 5 is connected to the inlet of the first compressor 1.

[0042] A bypass branch 101 is also connected between the inlet and the outlet of the first compressor 1.

[0043] A refrigeration medium is filled in the refrigeration cycle loop formed by the first compressor 1, the condenser 2, the first expansion valve 3, the fluorine pump 4, the evaporator 5, and the bypass branch 101.

[0044] The energy storage module 6 is connected to at least one of the inlet of the condenser 2, the outlet of the condenser 2, the inlet of the evaporator 5, and the outlet of the evaporator 5, and the energy storage module 6 can exchange heat with the refrigeration medium at at least one of the inlet of the condenser 2, the outlet of the condenser 2, the inlet of the evaporator 5, and the outlet of the evaporator 5.

[0045] In the computer room air conditioning system of this embodiment, there is an energy storage module 6. The energy storage module 6 can be connected to the outlet or inlet of the condenser 2 or the evaporator 5, and exchange heat with the refrigeration medium at the outlet or inlet of the condenser 2 or the evaporator 5. When the cold quantity of the refrigeration medium is sufficient, the energy storage module 6 can absorb the cold quantity for temporary storage. When the cold quantity of the refrigeration medium is insufficient, the energy storage module 6 can transport the stored cold quantity back to the refrigeration medium, so as to maintain the cold quantity of the refrigeration medium in the case of power failure of the fluorine pump 4 or insufficient cooling provided by the fluorine pump 4 due to the increase of the external environmental temperature, ensure the normal cooling of the computer room, and there is no need to keep the first compressor 1 in a standby power state all the time, which is beneficial to reducing the energy consumption cost of the computer room air conditioning system.

[0046] In addition, by using the energy storage module 6 of this embodiment, the heat generated during the operation of the computer room air conditioning system is also recovered and stored in the energy storage module 6. This part of the heat can be used for equipment anti-freezing or domestic hot water, thereby further reducing the energy consumption of the computer room air conditioning.

[0047] In some possible implementation manners, the energy storage module 6 is connected to at least one of the inlet of the condenser 2, the outlet of the condenser 2, the inlet of the evaporator 5, and the outlet of the evaporator 5. The energy storage module 6 may be connected to only one of the above positions, or may be respectively connected to multiple of the above positions. Exemplarily, when the energy storage module 6 is connected to one of the above positions, the energy storage module 6 can be directly in contact with the pipeline through which the refrigerant flows, and exchange heat with the refrigerant inside through the pipe wall. Another exemplarily, when the energy storage module 6 is respectively connected to multiple of the above positions, the energy storage module 6 can lead out the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle loop by using a pipeline, exchange heat in the energy storage module 6, and then send the refrigerant after heat exchange back to the refrigeration cycle loop.

[0048] In some possible implementation manners, the computer room air conditioning system of this embodiment has a compressor mode, a fluorine pump natural cooling mode, and a hybrid mode. Among them, the compressor mode is applied when the external temperature is relatively high (such as in summer) and the computer room air conditioning system cannot utilize the external natural cold source. In this mode, the refrigeration efficiency is relatively high, but the power consumption is relatively large. The fluorine pump natural cooling mode is applied when the external temperature is relatively low (such as in winter), and the computer room air conditioning system can utilize the external natural cold source for cooling to reduce power consumption. The hybrid mode is applied when the external temperature is moderate (such as in summer and autumn), and the computer room air conditioning system can obtain a part of the cooling capacity by using the external natural cold source, but the cooling capacity is insufficient and needs to be supplemented by the first compressor 1.

[0049] Exemplarily, in the compressor mode, the compressor is started, the fluorine pump 4 is stopped, and the bypass branch 101 is disconnected. The refrigerant circulates along the path of the first compressor 1, the condenser 2, the first expansion valve 3, the evaporator 5, and the first compressor 1, and absorbs the heat in the computer room when flowing through the evaporator 5, and dissipates the heat to the outside when flowing through the condenser 2.

[0050] In the fluorine pump natural cooling mode, the fluorine pump 4 is started, the first compressor 1 is stopped, and the bypass branch 101 is opened. The refrigerant circulates along the path of the fluorine pump 4, the evaporator 5, the bypass branch 101, the condenser 2, and the fluorine pump 4, and absorbs the heat in the computer room when flowing through the evaporator 5, and dissipates the heat to the outside when flowing through the condenser 2.

[0051] In some possible implementation manners, the evaporator 5 is located inside the machine room and is used to absorb the heat in the air inside the machine room to cool the temperature of the machine room. The condenser 2 is located outside the machine room and exchanges heat with the external atmosphere to dissipate the heat outward. Therefore, the temperature of the refrigerant medium at the inlet and outlet of the evaporator 5 is relatively low, and the temperature of the refrigerant medium at the inlet and outlet of the condenser 2 is relatively high.

[0052] When the energy storage module 6 is connected to at least one of the inlet and the outlet of the evaporator 5, the energy storage module 6 is used for cold storage; in addition to serving as emergency supplementary cooling, the energy storage module 6 can also start refrigeration by using the first compressor 1 at off-peak electricity prices, store the cold energy in the energy storage module 6, and then convey the cold energy in the energy storage module 6 back to the refrigeration cycle loop at peak electricity prices.

[0053] When the energy storage module 6 is connected to at least one of the inlet and the outlet of the condenser 2, the energy storage module 6 is used for heat recovery. When the energy storage module 6 is connected to the inlet or outlet of the evaporator 5 and at the same time is connected to the inlet or outlet of the condenser 2, the energy storage module 6 can be used for both cold storage and heat recovery.

[0054] Combined Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the energy storage module 6 includes a first heat exchanger 61, a driving pump 62, and a liquid storage tank 63.

[0055] The first heat exchanger 61 includes a first heat exchange channel 611 and a second heat exchange channel 612; the inlets of the first heat exchange channel 611 are respectively connected to the inlet of the condenser 2 and the inlet of the evaporator 5, and the outlets of the first heat exchange channel 611 are respectively connected to the outlet of the condenser 2 and the outlet of the evaporator 5; the outlet of the second heat exchange channel 612 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 63, the outlet of the liquid storage tank 63 is connected to the inlet of the driving pump 62, and the outlet of the driving pump 62 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange channel 612. An energy storage medium is filled in the energy storage cycle loop formed by the second heat exchange channel 612, the liquid storage tank 63, and the driving pump 62; the refrigerant medium flowing through the first heat exchange channel 611 exchanges heat with the energy storage medium flowing through the second heat exchange channel 612.

[0056] With the above arrangement, in the first heat exchanger 61 of the energy storage module 6, the inlets of the first heat exchange channels 611 can be respectively connected to the inlet of the condenser 2 and the inlet of the evaporator 5. The refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the first compressor 1 can flow into the inlet of the condenser 2 and the first heat exchange channels 611 respectively. The refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the first expansion valve 3 or the fluorine pump 4 can also flow into the inlet of the evaporator 5 and the first heat exchange channels 611 respectively. The energy storage medium in the energy storage module 6 can flow through the first heat exchanger 61 through the second heat exchange channels 612. In the first heat exchanger 61, the energy storage medium in the second heat exchange channels 612 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the first heat exchange channels 611. When the energy storage medium absorbs the heat in the refrigerant, the energy storage module 6 performs heat recovery. When the energy storage medium releases heat to the refrigerant, the energy storage module 6 performs cold storage.

[0057] In addition, the outlets of the first heat exchange channels 611 are respectively connected to the outlet of the condenser 2 and the outlet of the evaporator 5. After heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 61, the refrigerant can smoothly return to the refrigeration cycle loop and continue to participate in the refrigeration cycle.

[0058] In some possible implementation manners, the cold storage medium is tap water, and the driving pump 62 is a water pump.

[0059] Combined Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a first control valve 7 is provided between the inlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 and the inlet of the condenser 2, and a second control valve 8 is provided between the outlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 and the outlet of the condenser 2.

[0060] A third control valve 9 is provided between the inlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 and the inlet of the evaporator 5, and a fourth control valve 10 is provided between the outlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 and the outlet of the evaporator 5.

[0061] With the above arrangement, the inlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 can be selectively connected to the inlet of the condenser 2 or the inlet of the evaporator 5 by using the first control valve 7 and the third control valve 9. The inlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 can be selectively connected to the outlet of the condenser 2 or the outlet of the evaporator 5 by using the second control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 10, realizing the switching of the energy storage module 6 between the cold storage mode and the heat recovery mode.

[0062] In some possible implementation manners, the computer room air conditioning system of this embodiment has a cold storage mode, a cold release mode, and a heat recovery mode. In the heat recovery mode, the first control valve 7 and the second control valve 8 are switched to the open state, the third control valve 9 and the fourth control valve 10 are switched to the closed state, and the refrigerant at a higher temperature at the inlet of the condenser 2 flows through the first heat exchanger 61, and the energy storage medium in the energy storage module 6 absorbs heat, and the temperature of the energy storage medium rises, realizing heat recovery.

[0063] In the cold storage mode, the first control valve 7 and the second control valve 8 are switched to the closed state, and the third control valve 9 and the fourth control valve 10 are switched to the open state. The refrigerant with a lower temperature at the inlet of the evaporator 5 flows through the first heat exchanger 61, and the energy storage medium in the energy storage module 6 releases heat, and the temperature of the energy storage medium decreases, realizing the storage of cold energy.

[0064] In the cold release mode, the first control valve 7 and the fourth control valve 10 are switched to the closed state, and the second control valve 8 and the third control valve 9 are switched to the open state. After the refrigerant is initially cooled and its temperature is reduced by passing through the condenser 2, the refrigerant flowing out from the outlet of the condenser 2 flows into the first heat exchange channel 611 through the outlet of the first heat exchange channel 611, and exchanges heat with the low-temperature energy storage medium in the first heat exchange channel 611. The refrigerant is cooled again, and then the refrigerant enters the evaporator 5 through the inlet of the evaporator 5, and the air in the computer room is cooled.

[0065] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the energy storage module 6 includes a first heat exchanger 61, a driving pump 62, and a liquid storage tank 63. The first heat exchanger 61 includes a first heat exchange channel 611 and a second heat exchange channel 612; the first heat exchange channel 611 is connected between the outlet of the first compressor 1 and the inlet of the condenser 2.

[0066] The outlet of the second heat exchange channel 612 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 63, the outlet of the liquid storage tank 63 is connected to the inlet of the driving pump 62, and the outlet of the driving pump 62 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange channel 612. An energy storage cycle loop formed by the second heat exchange channel 612, the liquid storage tank 63, and the driving pump 62 is filled with an energy storage medium. The refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchange channel 611 exchanges heat with the energy storage medium flowing through the second heat exchange channel 612.

[0067] Through the above arrangement, the first heat exchanger 61 in the energy storage module 6 can use the refrigerant with a higher temperature flowing out from the outlet of the first compressor 1 to heat the energy storage medium, realizing the heat recovery of the computer room air conditioning system and reducing the energy consumption level of the air conditioning computer room system.

[0068] Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the energy storage module 6 includes a first heat exchanger 61, a driving pump 62, and a liquid storage tank 63. The first heat exchanger 61 includes a first heat exchange channel 611 and a second heat exchange channel 612.

[0069] The inlets of the first heat exchange channel 611 are respectively connected to the outlet of the first expansion valve 3 and the outlet of the fluorine pump 4, and the outlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 5; the outlet of the second heat exchange channel 612 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 63, the outlet of the liquid storage tank 63 is connected to the inlet of the driving pump 62, the outlet of the driving pump 62 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange channel 612, and a heat storage medium is filled in the energy storage circulation loop formed by the second heat exchange channel 612, the liquid storage tank 63 and the driving pump 62; the refrigeration medium flowing through the first heat exchange channel 611 exchanges heat with the heat storage medium flowing through the second heat exchange channel 612.

[0070] Through the above arrangement, the first heat exchanger 61 in the energy storage module 6 can use the relatively low-temperature refrigeration medium flowing out of the outlet of the first expansion valve 3 and the outlet of the fluorine pump 4 to absorb the heat in the heat storage medium, so that the temperature of the heat storage medium is reduced, realizing the cold storage of the computer room air conditioning system, and when the cooling provided by the fluorine pump 4 is insufficient, using the low-temperature cold storage medium to reduce the temperature of the refrigeration medium to supplement the cooling of the refrigeration circulation loop.

[0071] Combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the computer room air conditioning system further includes a heat pump module 11. The heat pump module 11 is connected to the energy storage module 6, and the heat pump module 11 is used to heat or cool the heat storage medium in the energy storage circulation loop.

[0072] Through the above arrangement, the energy storage module 6 is connected to the heat pump module 11, and the heat pump module 11 can be used to heat or cool the heat storage medium in the energy storage module 6, thereby improving the working effect of the cold storage medium in the energy storage module 6.

[0073] Combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the heat pump module 11 includes a second compressor 111, a second heat exchanger 112, a third heat exchanger 113 and a second expansion valve 114. The second heat exchanger 112 includes a third heat exchange channel 1121 and a fourth heat exchange channel 1122.

[0074] The second compressor 111, the third heat exchange channel 1121, the second expansion valve 114 and the third heat exchanger 113 are sequentially connected in a cycle to form a heat pump circulation loop, and a heat pump medium is filled in the heat pump circulation loop; the fourth heat exchange channel 1122 is connected in series in the energy storage circulation loop; the heat pump medium flowing through the third heat exchange channel 1121 exchanges heat with the heat storage medium flowing through the fourth heat exchange channel 1122.

[0075] With the above arrangement, the second compressor 111, the second heat exchanger 112, the third heat exchanger 113 and the second expansion valve 114 in the heat pump module 11 form a complete compression refrigeration unit, and the heat pump medium can flow forward or backward in the heat pump circulation loop. When the heat pump medium circulates in the direction of the second compressor 111, the third heat exchanger 113, the second expansion valve 114, the second heat exchanger 112 and the second compressor 111, the heat pump medium evaporates and absorbs heat in the second heat exchanger 112 and condenses and releases heat in the third heat exchanger 113, so that the heat pump medium can cool down the energy storage medium. When the heat pump medium circulates in the direction of the second compressor 111, the second heat exchanger 112, the second expansion valve 114, the third heat exchanger 113 and the second compressor 111, the heat pump medium condenses and releases heat in the second heat exchanger 112 and evaporates and absorbs heat in the third heat exchanger 113, so that the heat pump medium can heat up the energy storage medium.

[0076] Exemplarily, in the heat recovery mode, the temperature of the energy storage medium in the liquid storage tank 63 is 15°C. The energy storage medium flows into the first heat exchanger 61 driven by the driving pump 62, exchanges heat with the refrigeration medium, and the temperature rises to 25°C. Then the energy storage medium flows into the second heat exchanger 112, exchanges heat with the heat pump medium, and the temperature can further rise to 45°C. Then the high-temperature energy storage medium flows back into the liquid storage tank 63. This part of the high-temperature energy storage medium can also be led out to prevent equipment from freezing or for domestic hot water.

[0077] Another exemplarily, in the cold storage mode, the temperature of the energy storage medium in the liquid storage tank 63 is 25°C. The energy storage medium flows into the first heat exchanger 61 driven by the driving pump 62, exchanges heat with the refrigeration medium, and the temperature drops to 15°C. Then the energy storage medium flows into the second heat exchanger 112, exchanges heat with the heat pump medium, and the temperature can further drop to 7°C. Then the low-temperature energy storage medium flows back into the liquid storage tank 63.

[0078] Combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the fourth heat exchange channel 1122 is arranged in series between the outlet of the second heat exchange channel 612 and the inlet of the liquid storage tank 63. Thus, the heat pump medium flowing through the second heat exchanger 112 can cool or heat the energy storage medium.

[0079] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of the energy storage modules 6 is two, namely the first energy storage module 601 and the second energy storage module 602.

[0080] The first heat exchange channel 611 in the first energy storage module 601 is connected between the outlet of the first compressor 1 and the inlet of the condenser 2. The first heat exchange channel 611 in the second energy storage module 602 is respectively connected to the outlet of the first expansion valve 3 and the outlet of the fluorine pump 4. The outlet of the first heat exchange channel 611 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 5.

[0081] For the computer room air conditioning system of this embodiment, the first energy storage module 601 can be used to recover heat in the computer room air conditioning system, and the second energy storage module 602 can be used to store cold in the computer room air conditioning system.

[0082] Combined Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the third heat exchanger 113 includes a fifth heat exchange channel 1131 and a sixth heat exchange channel 1132.

[0083] The second compressor 111, the third heat exchange channel 1121, the second expansion valve 114 and the fifth heat exchange channel 1131 are sequentially and circularly connected to form a heat pump cycle loop. The fourth heat exchange channel 1122 is connected in series in the energy storage cycle loop corresponding to the first energy storage module 601, and the sixth heat exchange channel 1132 is connected in series in the energy storage cycle loop corresponding to the second energy storage module 602.

[0084] Through the above arrangement, the first energy storage module 601 and the second energy storage module 602 can be respectively connected to the heat pump module 11. When the second energy storage module 602 operates in the cold storage mode and the first energy storage module 601 operates in the heat recovery mode, the heat pump module 11 can use the third heat exchanger 113 to absorb heat by evaporation. At this time, the second heat exchanger 112 needs to release heat by condensation, which can just heat the energy storage medium in the first energy storage module 601, further improving the heat recovery efficiency.

[0085] The computer room air conditioning system provided by this application is applicable to the computer room of the data center.

[0086] The data center computer room includes at least one server. The server can be a device in the field of cloud computing or a device in the field of AI (Artificial Intelligence). Among them, cloud computing is a computing model that distributes computing tasks on a resource pool composed of a large number of computers, enabling various application systems to obtain computing power, storage space, and information services as needed. The network that provides resources is called the "cloud".
