Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to energy storage temperature control technical field especially single cluster energy storage temperature control integrated system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of new energy technology, energy storage systems are applied more and more in the fields of new energy, photovoltaic, power stations, etc. A large number of battery cabins, energy storage inverters (PCS) and other electronic components are installed in the energy storage system. Overcooling and overheating will cause faults of the energy storage system during operation.

[0003] Traditional energy storage system cooling mainly adopts two ways of air cooling and water cooling. The air cooling way has problems of low battery and air heat exchange coefficient, low energy storage energy density, uneven wind field distribution in the energy storage cabinet, and uneven battery core temperature. The water cooling way needs to additionally set up a liquid circulation system on the basis of the traditional refrigeration system. The system structure is relatively complex, it is difficult to realize lightweight demand, and the investment cost is also high.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, some energy storage systems currently adopt a direct cooling way, that is, using refrigerant to directly enter the battery cold plate to cool the battery. Although the direct cooling system simplifies the system structure and reduces the system cost, the battery cold plate temperature is too low when using the direct cooling system to cool the battery cold plate, and dew forms on the surface of the battery cold plate. In order to avoid dew condensation on the direct cooling plate, a dehumidifier needs to be separately configured to control the humidity in the cabin. At the same time, the existing direct cooling system only has compressor refrigeration and heating circulation, and cannot meet the refrigeration demand in low temperature environment and the heating demand in high temperature environment. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a single cluster energy storage temperature control integrated system which can simplify the system structure, reduce the cost, and realize the functions of cold plate cooling, heating and cabin dehumidification by using a refrigeration system.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the basic idea of the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A single cluster energy storage temperature control integrated system comprises:

[0008] A main refrigerant circulation loop is formed by sequentially connecting a compressor, a four-way valve, a condenser, a throttling element and a cold plate unit through a refrigerant pipeline, and the cold plate unit at least comprises a battery cold plate group in a single cluster battery cabin.

[0009] A bypass branch is connected between the condenser refrigeration outlet end and the compressor suction end, and a flow regulating device for controlling the bypass flow of refrigerant and a dehumidification evaporator are connected in series on the bypass branch, and the dehumidification evaporator is connected in series at the outlet end of the flow regulating device.

[0010] Furthermore, the cold plate unit also includes a PCS cold plate, the throttling element is connected in series between the PCS cold plate and the battery cold plate group, and the other end of the PCS cold plate is connected to the refrigeration outlet end of the condenser.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a regenerator, which includes a first refrigerant channel and a second refrigerant channel. The first refrigerant channel is connected between the inlet end of the bypass branch and the refrigeration inlet end of the PCS cold plate, and the second refrigerant channel is connected between the refrigeration outlet end of the cold plate unit and the port of the four-way valve. The refrigerant flows in opposite directions in the first and second refrigerant channels.

[0012] Furthermore, the throttling element is a first electronic expansion valve.

[0013] Furthermore, the throttling element also includes a second electronic expansion valve, which is connected in series between the battery cold plate assembly and the port of the four-way valve.

[0014] Furthermore, after the refrigerant in the battery cold plate assembly is combined, it passes through the second electronic expansion valve and is throttled twice within the second electronic expansion valve. The second electronic expansion valve is configured to be fully open in the heating mode.

[0015] Furthermore, the flow regulating device is a third electronic expansion valve.

[0016] Furthermore, a distributor is connected in series at the refrigeration inlet of the battery cold plate group. Different ports of the distributor are connected to different battery cold plates in the battery cold plate group. In the refrigeration working mode, the refrigerant after throttling is distributed to each battery cold plate after passing through the distributor.

[0017] Furthermore, a dehumidifying fan is installed corresponding to the dehumidifying evaporator. In the low-temperature cooling mode or the low-temperature heating mode, the dehumidifying fan operates at low speed or stops.

[0018] In summary, the single-cluster energy storage temperature control integrated system provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] (1) This utility model connects a bypass branch between the condenser refrigeration outlet end and the compressor suction end, and connects a dehumidifying evaporator in series on the bypass branch. Using this system, not only can the cooling and heating functions of the cold plate unit be realized, but also the dehumidification function of the cabin can be realized. This system integrates multiple functions such as PCS cold plate cooling, battery cold plate cooling and heating, and cabin dehumidification. It eliminates the need for a separate dehumidifier to be installed for dehumidification in the prior art, greatly simplifies the system structure and reduces the system cost.

[0020] (2) This utility model utilizes a bypass branch to simultaneously achieve the bypass function of unloading part of the refrigerant flow, adjust the suction and discharge temperature and pressure of the compressor, and use one compressor to simultaneously meet the cooling needs of low temperature environment and the heating needs of high temperature environment. This not only expands the range of ambient temperature that this system can be used for, but also further simplifies the system structure, saves the configuration of refrigerant flow path, and reduces system cost.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a single-cluster energy storage temperature control direct cooling system, applied to a direct expansion energy storage temperature control system integrating PCS cooling, battery PACK cooling, and heating. It is used to control the temperature of the battery compartment and at least one PCS within the energy storage cabinet.

[0033] In this embodiment, the single-cluster energy storage temperature control integrated system includes a main refrigerant circulation loop, which is formed by sequentially connecting a compressor 1, a four-way valve 2, a condenser 3, a throttling element 4, and a cold plate unit 5 through refrigerant pipelines. The cold plate unit 5 includes at least a single-cluster battery cold plate assembly 51 within the battery compartment. For the single-cluster energy storage temperature control integrated system provided in this embodiment, the cold plate unit 5 includes not only the single-cluster battery cold plate assembly 51 within the battery compartment but also at least one PCS cold plate 52.

[0034] In this embodiment, the single-cluster battery cold plate assembly 51 in the battery compartment includes five battery cold plates, which are connected in parallel. If multiple PCS cold plates 52 are installed in the cabinet, they are also connected in parallel. Refrigerant is used to cool or heat the five battery cold plates and PCS cold plates 52 within the battery cold plate assembly 51. A condenser fan 7 is installed corresponding to the condenser 3, and an oil separator 6 is connected in series at the exhaust end 1b of the compressor 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the system also includes a bypass branch 9, one end of which is connected to the refrigeration outlet 3a of the condenser 3 and the other end is connected to the suction end 1a of the compressor 1. A flow regulating device 10 for controlling the refrigerant bypass flow is connected in series on the bypass branch 9.

[0036] In this embodiment, a dehumidifying evaporator 11 is also connected in series on the bypass branch 9. The dehumidifying evaporator 11 is located at the outlet end of the flow regulating device 10, and a dehumidifying fan 12 is installed corresponding to the dehumidifying evaporator 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, the flow regulating device 10 preferably adopts a third electronic expansion valve 101. The opening degree of the third electronic expansion valve 101 is controlled by the control unit. The third electronic expansion valve 101 can control the bypass flow of refrigerant and can also be used as a throttling element before the dehumidifying evaporator 11.

[0038] The temperature-controlled direct cooling system also includes a control unit (not shown in the figure). The control unit is configured to control the operation of the third electronic expansion valve 101 and adjust the opening of the third electronic expansion valve 101 according to the bypass conditions and / or dehumidification conditions. That is, it adjusts the refrigerant flow rate that needs to be bypassed or the refrigerant flow rate required for dehumidification according to the bypass conditions and / or dehumidification conditions.

[0039] The bypass condition is to activate the low-temperature cooling or low-temperature heating mode. When the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature (e.g., 10°C) and cooling is still required, the system enters the low-temperature cooling mode; when the ambient temperature is higher than the set temperature (e.g., -10°C) and heating is still required, the system enters the low-temperature heating mode. When the system enters the low-temperature cooling or low-temperature heating mode, the control unit controls the third electronic expansion valve 101 to open and adjusts the opening degree of the third electronic expansion valve 101 according to the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature of the cold plate unit 5. This adjusts the flow rate of the refrigerant that needs to be bypassed and unloaded, thereby regulating the suction and discharge temperature and pressure of the compressor 1, which helps to expand the operating range of the system's ambient temperature. In this embodiment, it is further preferred that when the system enters the low-temperature cooling or low-temperature heating mode, the control unit controls the dehumidifier fan 12 to operate at low speed or stop. During this process, the bypass branch 9 only serves to bypass and unload a portion of the refrigerant.

[0040] The dehumidification condition is to activate the dehumidification working mode. When the system enters the dehumidification working mode, the control unit also controls the third electronic expansion valve 101 to open. When the humidity inside the cabin reaches the set threshold, the system enters the dehumidification working mode, the third electronic expansion valve 101 opens, and the opening degree of the third electronic expansion valve 101 is adjusted according to the difference between the set threshold and the actual humidity inside the cabin, that is, the refrigerant flow rate required for dehumidification is adjusted.

[0041] The system is equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor (not shown in the figure). The temperature sensor is used to detect the cabin temperature and the ambient temperature, and the humidity sensor is used to detect the cabin humidity. The control unit has pre-stored the cooling set temperature, heating set temperature, upper limit value of the ambient set temperature, lower limit value of the ambient set temperature, and set humidity threshold, etc.

[0042] This system connects a bypass branch 9 between the refrigeration outlet 3a of the condenser 3 and the suction end 1a of the compressor 1, and connects a dehumidifying evaporator 11 in series on the bypass branch 9. This not only achieves the cooling and heating functions of the cold plate unit 5, but also the dehumidification function of the cabin. The system integrates multiple functions such as PCS cold plate cooling, battery cold plate cooling and heating, and cabin dehumidification, eliminating the need for a separate dehumidifier as required in existing technologies. Furthermore, during low-temperature cooling and heating, the system can also utilize the bypass branch 9 to simultaneously unload a portion of the refrigerant flow, regulating the suction and discharge temperatures and pressures of the compressor 1. By using a single compressor 1 to simultaneously meet the cooling needs of low-temperature environments and the heating needs of high-temperature environments, this system not only expands its applicable ambient temperature range, but also greatly simplifies its structure, saves on refrigerant flow path configuration, and reduces system costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the throttling element 4 connected in series in the main refrigerant circulation loop is a first electronic expansion valve 41. The first electronic expansion valve 41 is connected in series between the PCS cold plate 52 and the battery cold plate group 51. The first electronic expansion valve 41 is used to throttle the liquid refrigerant after condensation of the condenser 3 in the cooling mode, so as to cool down the battery cold plate group 51 behind it.

[0044] In this embodiment, more preferably, the throttling element further includes a second electronic expansion valve 42, which is connected in series between the battery cold plate assembly 51 and the port of the four-way valve 2. After the refrigerant in the battery cold plate assembly 51 converges, it passes through the second electronic expansion valve 42. The second electronic expansion valve 42 is used in cooling mode to further throttle the refrigerant that has not completely evaporated after heat exchange with the battery cold plate assembly 51, thereby improving the cooling efficiency ratio of the system. In heating mode, the second electronic expansion valve 42 is configured to be fully open.

[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, a regenerator 8 is connected in series in the main refrigerant circulation loop. The regenerator 8 includes two refrigerant channels, namely a first refrigerant channel 81 and a second refrigerant channel 82. The first refrigerant channel 81 is connected between the inlet end of the bypass branch 9 and the refrigeration inlet end of the throttling element 4, specifically between the inlet end of the third electronic expansion valve 101 of the bypass branch 9 and the refrigeration inlet end 52a of the PCS cold plate 52. The second refrigerant channel 82 is connected between the refrigeration outlet end of the cold plate unit 5 and the port of the four-way valve 2, specifically between the refrigeration outlet end of the battery cold plate group 51 and the port of the four-way valve 2. The refrigerant flows in opposite directions in the first refrigerant channel 81 and the second refrigerant channel 82, allowing for heat exchange between the refrigerants in the two channels.

[0046] For example, in cooling mode, such as Figure 1As shown, the liquid refrigerant condensed by the condenser 3 first passes through the first refrigerant channel 81 of the regenerator 8, where it continues to release heat, and then enters the PCS cold plate 52 to absorb heat, thereby cooling the PCS cold plate 52. The temperature of the condensed refrigerant is around 50°C, which can fully meet the cooling requirements of the PCS cold plate 52.

[0047] After absorbing heat through the PCS cold plate 52, the refrigerant enters the first electronic expansion valve 41 for throttling. The throttled refrigerant then enters multiple battery cold plates in the battery cold plate assembly 51, exchanging heat with each plate to cool the battery. The refrigerant then merges and passes through the second electronic expansion valve 42, which performs a second throttling. After throttling, the refrigerant enters the second refrigerant channel 82 in the regenerator 8. Here, the lower-temperature refrigerant in the second refrigerant channel 82 exchanges heat with the relatively higher-temperature refrigerant in the first refrigerant channel 81. This further reduces the temperature of the condensed refrigerant, cooling the PCS cold plate 52 and improving its cooling effect. It also facilitates further complete evaporation of the refrigerant in the second refrigerant channel 82.

[0048] In this embodiment, to ensure uniform distribution of refrigerant within the multiple battery cold plates of the battery cold plate assembly 51, a distributor 13 is preferably provided at the inlet end of the battery cold plate assembly 51. Different ports of the distributor 13 are connected to different battery cold plates within the battery cold plate assembly 51. During cooling, the refrigerant, after being throttled by the first electronic expansion valve 41, passes through the distributor 13 and is then distributed to the five parallel battery cold plates in the battery cold plate assembly 51, where it exchanges heat with each of the five cold plates. This distributor 13 can be the type used in existing multi-split air conditioning units.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown below, the system operation process in cooling mode is described in detail. Figure 1 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction of refrigerant flow.

[0050] After being compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas by compressor 1, the refrigerant passes through oil separator 6 and four-way valve 2 to condenser 3. In condenser 3, the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into a liquid state. The condensed refrigerant then flows into the first refrigerant channel 81 of regenerator 8, where it continues to release heat. It then absorbs heat from PCS cold plate 52, cooling the PCS cold plate 52. After being throttled and depressurized by the first electronic expansion valve 41, it enters distributor 13 for gas-liquid two-phase separation. It then enters the five parallel battery cold plates in battery cold plate group 51 to absorb heat and cool each battery. After heat exchange, the refrigerant merges and is throttled a second time by the second electronic expansion valve 42, entering the second refrigerant channel 82 of regenerator 8 to exchange heat with the refrigerant in the first refrigerant channel 81. After absorbing heat, it is introduced into the suction end 1a of compressor 1 through four-way valve 2.

[0051] After the dehumidification mode is activated, part of the refrigerant condensed by the condenser 3 enters the bypass branch 9, and after being throttled and depressurized by the third electronic expansion valve 101, it enters the dehumidification evaporator 11 to dehumidify the cabin. The evaporated refrigerant directly enters the suction end 1a of the compressor 1 and returns to the compressor 1.

[0052] After the low-temperature cooling mode is activated, that is, when the ambient temperature is lower than the set value and cooling is still required, the low-temperature cooling mode is activated. Similarly, the third electronic expansion valve 101 is opened and the opening degree is adjusted to control the refrigerant flow into the bypass branch 9, so as to realize the bypass function of unloading part of the refrigerant flow, thereby reducing the load and adjusting the suction and discharge temperature and pressure of the compressor 1. During this process, dehumidification is not required. The speed of the dehumidifying fan 12 can be reduced or the dehumidifying fan 12 can be turned off, which only serves the bypass function and adjusts the suction and discharge temperature and pressure.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the system operation process in heating mode is described in detail below. Figure 2 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction of refrigerant flow.

[0054] After being compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas by the compressor 1, the refrigerant passes through the oil separator 6 and the four-way valve 2 to the first refrigerant channel 82 of the regenerator 8 to release heat and cool down. Then, it passes through the second electronic expansion valve 42 (which is fully open at this time) and enters the five parallel battery cold plates in the battery cold plate group 51 to release heat and heat each battery cold plate. The refrigerant after heat exchange is collected by the distributor 13, throttled and depressurized by the first electronic expansion valve 41, and then enters the PCS cold plate 52 to absorb heat and cool down the PCS cold plate 52. It then enters the first refrigerant channel 81 of the regenerator 8 to continue absorbing heat, and then enters the condenser 3 to continue absorbing heat and evaporating. Finally, it flows back to the suction end 1a of the compressor 1 through the four-way valve 2.

[0055] After starting the low-temperature heating mode, the third electronic expansion valve 101 is opened and its opening degree is adjusted to control the refrigerant flow into the bypass branch 9, thereby achieving the bypass function of unloading part of the refrigerant flow to reduce the load and adjust the suction and discharge temperature and pressure of the compressor 1. During this process, dehumidification is not required, and the speed of the dehumidifying fan 12 can be reduced or the dehumidifying fan 12 can be turned off, only serving the bypass function to adjust the suction and discharge temperature and pressure.

[0056] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0057] 1. This system connects a bypass branch 9 between the refrigeration outlet end 3a of the condenser 3 and the suction end 1a of the compressor 1, and connects a dehumidifying evaporator 11 in series on the bypass branch 9. Using this system, not only can the cooling and heating functions of the cold plate unit 5 be realized, but the dehumidification function of the cabin can also be realized. This system integrates multiple functions such as PCS cold plate cooling, battery cold plate cooling and heating, and cabin dehumidification. It eliminates the need for a separate dehumidifier to be installed for dehumidification in the prior art, greatly simplifies the system structure, saves on the configuration of the refrigerant flow path, and reduces the system cost.

[0058] 2. The system also utilizes the bypass branch 9 to simultaneously achieve the bypass function of unloading part of the refrigerant flow, and adjusts the suction and discharge temperature and pressure of compressor 1. By using one compressor 1, it can simultaneously meet the cooling needs of low-temperature environments and the heating needs of high-temperature environments. This not only expands the range of ambient temperatures that the system can operate in, but also further simplifies the system structure, saves on the configuration of refrigerant flow paths, and reduces system costs.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
