Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chillers, in particular to a chiller with a variable-frequency and fixed-frequency compressor and an air-conditioning device. Background Art
[0002] Chillers are widely used in various building and industrial fields. For example, in large shopping malls, public buildings, factories, hotels and other places, chillers can provide efficient refrigeration services.
[0003] During actual use, a chiller usually adopts one compressor. For example, the patent with the publication number CN215176350U discloses a high-temperature chiller, which adopts one compressor. However, when the working conditions change, the compressor power of this compression unit cannot be adjusted, which is likely to cause energy waste. When the working conditions change greatly, a variable-frequency compressor is usually adopted. For example, the patent with the publication number CN205014671U discloses a chiller, which uses a variable-frequency compressor to adjust the power. However, the power of a single variable-frequency compressor is limited, and it is likely to have insufficient refrigeration when facing a large cooling water demand.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, a chiller with a variable-frequency and fixed-frequency compressor and an air-conditioning device are proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model develops a chiller with a variable-frequency and fixed-frequency compressor and an air-conditioning device, which can meet the cooling water demand of the working system and avoid energy waste.

The main cooling water circuit includes multiple fixed-frequency compressors, and the auxiliary cooling water circuit includes a variable-frequency compressor. The main cooling water circuit and the auxiliary cooling water circuit are jointly connected to a working system and a water storage tank.
[0007] Start the auxiliary cooling water circuit, start different numbers of fixed-frequency compressors according to the cooling water volume required by the working system, and then adjust the power of the variable-frequency compressor according to the required power to reach the power required by the working system, which can not only meet the requirements of the working system but also avoid energy waste.
[0008] Preferably, the main cooling water circuit includes a first delivery pipe, a first condenser, a first infusion pipe, a first return air pipe and a first heat exchanger.

[0009] The fixed-frequency compressor compresses the circulating medium into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas state and transports it to the first condenser for cooling treatment. The cooled circulating medium is transported to the first heat exchanger for heat exchange in the first heat exchanger to cool the cooling water. After heat exchange, the circulating medium returns to the fixed-frequency compressor through the first return pipe to complete the cycle.
