[0040] Specifically, for the water circulation unit 200, under the power of the water pump 202, the high-temperature water enters from the water inlet interface 201 and is heat-exchanged through the heat exchanger 203, the high-temperature water is converted into low-temperature water, and the low-temperature water exits from the water outlet interface 204 and is delivered to the equipment needing cooling;

[0041] For the refrigeration circulation unit 300, the compressor 310 compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and delivers it to the two parallel condensers 320, the condenser 320 cools and liquefies the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor discharged by the compressor 310, the liquefied high-temperature refrigerant enters the heat exchanger 203 after being throttled and decompressed by the expansion valve to cool the high-temperature water, the liquefied low-temperature refrigerant is converted into gaseous high-temperature refrigerant after absorbing the heat of the high-temperature water and enters the compressor 310 again, forming a cycle.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the water circulation unit 200 further includes an expansion tank 206, and the water circulation unit 200 is connected with the expansion tank 206 through a shunt between the water inlet interface 201 and the water pump 202. In the embodiment, the expansion tank 206 provides a stable pressure function, so that the water flow in the water circulation unit 200 is continuous and stable, and the heat exchange performance can be guaranteed.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the water circulation unit 200 also includes a first pressure transmitter 207 and a second pressure transmitter 208.

When a power failure occurs, the storage battery is used to power the electric heater 213 and the water pump 202, so that the electric heater 213 and the water pump 202 can still work, so as to completely drain the water in the water circulation unit 200, and avoid the water in the water circulation unit 200 from freezing, and causing the pipes in the water circulation unit 200 to be damaged.
