[0030] Working principle:
[0031] Before use, the surface of the battery panel 1 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cooling water pipe 3 through multiple first heat conduction plates 2. A large amount of waste heat generated by the battery panel 1 during operation is exchanged with the cooling water inside the cooling water pipe 3 through the first heat conduction plate 2. The outlet end of the cooling water pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the water inlet end of the circulating water pipe 9. The water inlet end of the cooling water pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the water outlet end of the circulating water pipe 9.

The temperature of the cooling water after heat exchange is adjusted by controlling the flow rate of the cooling water. The surface of the circulating water pipe 9 is connected to the second heat conduction plate 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the evaporator 5. The cooling water after heat exchange is cooled by the second heat conducting plate 8 and the evaporator 5. The cooled cooling water is pumped into the water inlet end of the cooling water pipe 3 again through the circulating water pump 4 to complete the recycling of the cooling water. The evaporator 5 exchanges heat with the cooling water inside the circulating water pipe 9 through the second heat conducting plate 8, and evaporates the refrigerant inside the evaporator 5 into high-temperature gas. The high-temperature gas enters the interior of the compressor 6 from the input port of the compressor 6 through the connecting water pipe 12.
