[0044] The two different refrigeration modes in the prior art use different structures, and it is difficult to simultaneously place them in one space during structural combination, but the utility model discloses a structure that connects the evaporator assembly and the surface cooler assembly into one, and can select whether to mainly use refrigerated water refrigeration or refrigerant refrigeration according to the need or the temperature of the refrigerated water, and when mainly using refrigerated water refrigeration, the evaporator is closed, the energy consumption required for refrigerant refrigeration can be reduced under the condition of providing refrigeration, the energy efficiency of the system is improved, and when refrigerant refrigeration is mainly used under the condition that the temperature of the refrigerated water is too high to meet the refrigeration, the surface cooler is closed, the refrigeration capacity and temperature required by the indoor environment can be met through refrigerant refrigeration, the energy efficiency and refrigeration performance can be simultaneously considered, and the evaporator assembly is arranged at the upstream position of the surface cooler assembly along the air flow direction, so that the air first passes through the evaporator assembly and then passes through the surface cooler assembly, the evaporator is closed when mainly using refrigerated water, the air passing through the evaporator is not refrigerated, the air after passing through the evaporator enters the surface cooler and is cooled by the refrigerated water, and the temperature of the air cannot be increased (if the air first passes through the surface cooler and then passes through the evaporator, the air is first cooled by the surface cooler, but when entering the evaporator, the heat exchange pipe temperature of the evaporator is higher than the temperature of the air cooled by the surface cooler, the air will be heated without reason, and the refrigeration effect is poor), so that the energy efficiency, the refrigeration performance and the refrigeration effect of the system can be simultaneously considered.

[0045] In some embodiments,

[0046] When mainly using refrigerant refrigeration, the surface cooler assembly 2 does not work, and the evaporator assembly 1 works, the air is first cooled by the evaporator assembly 1 and then not cooled by the surface cooler assembly 2, and the refrigerant flow or flow rate passing through the evaporator assembly 1 can be adjusted.

[0047] When mainly using refrigerant refrigeration, the air is first cooled by the refrigerant of the evaporator, and when entering the surface cooler, the air will be heated by the heat exchanger, at this time, the refrigerant flow or flow rate of the evaporator assembly is adjusted, and the refrigeration capacity of the evaporator is increased, so that the air after passing through the surface cooler can meet the temperature required by the indoor environment, and the refrigeration effect is not poor, so that the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration mode mainly using refrigerated water and the refrigeration mode mainly using refrigerant can be ensured, and the refrigeration effect is not poor under the condition of simultaneously considering the energy efficiency and the refrigeration performance.

[0048] In some embodiments,

[0049] The evaporator assembly 1 is a plate structure, the surface cooler assembly 2 is also a plate structure, and the gap between the evaporator assembly 1 and the surface cooler assembly 2 has a size greater than 0.

[0050] The gap with the size greater than 0 arranged between the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly can effectively prevent air congestion when flowing between the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly, and solve the problem of air blockage of the unit.

[0051] In some embodiments,

[0052] The size of the gap is 15mm±5mm.

[0053] The evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly are preferably assembled with a gap of 15±5mm in the middle. In terms of structure, the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly are composed of aluminum foils stacked together to form fins, and a long copper pipe is arranged through the fins. The distance between the aluminum foils is the fin pitch. The temperature is transmitted to the aluminum foils by pipeline refrigeration, and then the air passes through the gap between the aluminum foils to realize refrigeration. The fin pitch is usually between 1.2mm and 2.8mm, and commonly used fin pitches are 1.4mm, 1.8mm, 2mm, etc. The small fin pitch leads to the fact that the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly are prone to misalignment during assembly. If the two are completely spliced without any gap, theoretically, the aluminum foils of the evaporator assembly correspond to the aluminum foils of the surface condenser assembly, and the gaps between the aluminum foils of the evaporator assembly correspond to the gaps between the aluminum foils of the surface condenser assembly. In this way, the air can normally pass through the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly to realize refrigeration. However, the number of aluminum foils is usually several hundred to several thousand, and it is easy for the aluminum foils of the evaporator assembly to correspond to the gaps of the aluminum foils of the surface condenser assembly, so that the air cannot normally pass through, resulting in a significant decrease in refrigeration effect. Therefore, the gap size between the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly is increased to 15±5mm (preferably, the minimum gap size of multiple products can meet 15±5mm) to further effectively prevent air blockage of the evaporator assembly and the surface condenser assembly.

[0054] In some embodiments,

[0055] The evaporator assembly 1 is at least two, including a first evaporator assembly 11 and a second evaporator assembly 12, and the surface condenser assembly 2 is also at least two, including a first surface condenser assembly 21 and a second surface condenser assembly 22. The first evaporator assembly 11 and the first surface condenser assembly 21 are assembled into one body to form a first group of heat exchange assemblies, and the second evaporator assembly 12 and the second surface condenser assembly 22 are assembled into one body to form a second group of heat exchange assemblies.

[0056] Further comprising an electrical appliance box 4, the first group of heat exchange components and the second group of heat exchange components are spaced apart to form a containing space 3 to accommodate the electrical appliance box 4 therein, the first evaporator component 11 is away from the containing space 3 relative to the first surface cooler component 21, the second evaporator component 12 is away from the containing space 3 relative to the second surface cooler component 22, the air on one side of the first group of heat exchange components enters the containing space 3 after flowing through the first surface cooler component 21 from the first evaporator component 11, and the air on one side of the second group of heat exchange components enters the containing space 3 after flowing through the second surface cooler component 22 from the second evaporator component 12.

[0057] The utility model discloses the evaporator component is set to at least two, surface cooler component is set to at least two, and first evaporator component and first surface cooler component are assembled as a whole, form first group of heat exchange components, second evaporator component and second surface cooler component are assembled as a whole, form second group of heat exchange components, and the containing space is formed between two heat exchange group components, and the electrical appliance box is placed in the position of containing space, and the air flow enters the containing space from the first surface cooler component after flowing through the first evaporator component on the outside, simultaneously enters the containing space after flowing through the second surface cooler component from the second evaporator component on the outside, and carries out heat exchange to electrical appliance box, thereby realizes the effect of cooling the electrical appliance box, solves the problem of electrical appliance box heat dissipation, and the electrical appliance box is set up in the position of the containing space, effectively utilizes and saves the space, makes the structure more compact, and the volume can be more miniaturized.

[0058] In some embodiments,

[0059] The first surface cooler component 21 and the second surface cooler component 22 are opposite to each other and the containing space 3 is clamped therebetween, and the distance between the first surface cooler component 21 and the second surface cooler component 22 gradually increases from top to bottom in the horizontal direction, forming a structure with a small upper horizontal cross-sectional area and a large lower horizontal cross-sectional area.

[0060] The utility model further gradually increases the distance between the first and second surface cooler components from top to bottom in the horizontal direction, thereby forming a containing space with a small upper portion and a large lower portion, which can firmly support the heat exchange components on both sides on the ground or the bottom plate of the air conditioner, ensuring the structural stability of the refrigeration equipment and avoiding shaking and other situations during operation, thereby solving the stability problem of the cooperation between the evaporator component and the surface cooler component of the machine room air conditioner.

[0064] The two-component (evaporator + surface-cooler) of the utility model is preferably designed in a reverse triangular structure and is assembled by two evaporator assemblies and two surface-cooler assemblies. Since the four assemblies are installed together, the weight is huge. The reverse triangular mode can effectively maintain the support of the two-component with large weight, strengthen the structure, and maintain a stable form during transportation.

[0065] In some embodiments,

[0066] When the evaporator assembly 1 is a plate structure and the surface-cooler assembly 2 is also a plate structure, the first evaporator assembly 11, the second evaporator assembly 12, the first surface-cooler assembly 21 and the second surface-cooler assembly 22 are all plate structures, the leeward face of the first surface-cooler assembly 21 is parallel to the windward face of the first surface-cooler assembly 21, the leeward face of the second surface-cooler assembly 22 is parallel to the windward face of the second surface-cooler assembly 22, the leeward face of the first evaporator assembly 11 is parallel to the windward face of the first evaporator assembly 11, the leeward face of the second evaporator assembly 12 is parallel to the windward face of the second evaporator assembly 12, and the leeward face of the first evaporator assembly 11 is opposite to and parallel to the windward face of the first surface-cooler assembly 21, and there is a gap with a size greater than 0 between the two, and the leeward face of the second evaporator assembly 12 is opposite to and parallel to the windward face of the second surface-cooler assembly 22, and there is a gap with a size greater than 0 between the two.

[0078] The utility model also provides a kind of control method of heat exchanger assembly as aforementioned, it includes:

[0079] judgment step, according to demand, whether refrigerated water refrigeration is mainly or refrigerant refrigeration is mainly or refrigerated water refrigeration and refrigerant refrigeration are simultaneously operated is judged;

[0080] Control step, when refrigerated water refrigeration is mainly required, control the surface cooler assembly 2 work, while control the evaporator assembly 1 does not work, when refrigerant refrigeration is mainly required, control the evaporator assembly 1 work, while control the surface cooler assembly 2 does not work, simultaneously control the frequency conversion compressor connected with the evaporator assembly 1 and adjust, when refrigerated water refrigeration and refrigerant refrigeration are simultaneously operated, control the evaporator assembly 1 and the surface cooler assembly 2 work simultaneously.

[0081] The two different refrigeration modes in the prior art use different structures, and it is difficult to simultaneously place them in one space during structural combination, but the utility model discloses a structure that connects the evaporator assembly and the surface cooler assembly into one, and can select whether to mainly use refrigerated water or refrigerant for refrigeration according to the need or the temperature of the refrigerated water, and when mainly using refrigerated water for refrigeration, the evaporator is closed, which can reduce the energy consumption required for refrigerant refrigeration under the condition of providing refrigeration, improve the energy efficiency of the system, and mainly use refrigerant for refrigeration when the refrigerated water temperature is too high to meet the refrigeration requirement, at which time the surface cooler is closed, refrigerant refrigeration can be used to meet the required cooling capacity and temperature in the room, and the energy efficiency and refrigeration performance can be simultaneously considered; and since the evaporator assembly is arranged at the upstream position of the surface cooler assembly along the air flow direction, the air first passes through the evaporator assembly and then passes through the surface cooler assembly, the evaporator can be closed when mainly using refrigerated water, the air passing through the evaporator is not refrigerated, and the air after passing through the evaporator enters the surface cooler and is cooled by the refrigerated water, so that the air temperature does not increase (if the air first passes through the surface cooler and then passes through the evaporator, the air is first cooled by the surface cooler, but when entering the evaporator, the heat exchange pipe temperature of the evaporator is higher than the air temperature after being cooled by the surface cooler, so that the air is heated unnecessarily, and the refrigeration effect is poor) ; and when mainly using refrigerant for refrigeration, the air is first cooled by the refrigerant in the evaporator, and when entering the surface cooler, the air can be heated by the heat exchanger, at which time the refrigerant flow or flow rate of the evaporator assembly is adjusted (by frequency adjustment of the variable frequency compressor), and the refrigeration capacity of the evaporator is increased, so that the air after passing through the surface cooler can meet the required temperature in the room, and the refrigeration effect is not poor; therefore, the evaporator is arranged at the upstream of the surface cooler along the air flow, and the evaporator can be adjusted (frequency adjustment of the variable frequency compressor) when mainly using refrigerant for refrigeration, so that the refrigeration effect of various refrigeration modes mainly using refrigerated water and refrigerant can be ensured, the refrigeration effect is not poor under the condition of simultaneously considering the energy efficiency and refrigeration performance, and the required refrigeration effect is ensured.

[0082] The evaporator assembly 1 of the utility model cools by refrigerant, i.e. refrigerant refrigeration. The surface cooler assembly 2 cools by refrigerated water. The refrigerant cooling and refrigerated water cooling are combined. The double refrigeration can greatly improve the refrigeration effect. And the two refrigeration modes can be refrigerated separately, i.e. the refrigeration mode can be switched to cope with different situations. At the same time, they can provide a standby refrigeration scheme for each other, when one refrigeration cycle cannot run, the other refrigeration mode can still ensure the refrigeration effect. For such a precise data center as a computer room, no refrigeration will have a huge side effect on the computer room, so the normal operation of the computer room can be greatly ensured, and the loss can be reduced.

[0083] The installation form of the two device components is that the middle two are surface condenser assemblies in a triangular form, and the outer two are evaporator assemblies 1 connected to the two sides of the surface condenser assemblies 2 respectively. When the unit mainly uses chilled water, the evaporator assemblies 1 are outside, and the surface condenser assemblies 2 are inside, the air first passes through the evaporator assemblies 1 and then passes through the surface condenser assemblies 2, so that the air is cooled and enters the air cavity for the first time to maximize the cooling effect. The evaporator assemblies 1 are circulated by the compressor compression refrigerant, and the surface condenser assemblies 2 are the chilled water circulation. When the chilled water is mainly used, the cold air should be sent out for the first time after passing through the surface condenser assemblies 2, if the evaporator assemblies 1 are inside and the surface condenser assemblies 2 are outside, the cold air will be reheated with the evaporator assemblies 1 at room temperature after passing through the surface condenser assemblies 2, so that the temperature rises, thereby causing the refrigeration effect to be poor. When the refrigerant is mainly used, although the cold air will be reheated with the surface condenser assemblies 2 at room temperature after passing through the evaporator assemblies 1, the refrigerant refrigeration has a frequency conversion compressor adjustment, and the refrigeration effect will not be poor.

[0084] The two device components have three operating conditions, which are that the evaporator assemblies 1 and the surface condenser assemblies 2 operate simultaneously, the evaporator assemblies 1 operate alone, and the surface condenser assemblies 2 operate alone. The first condition is that the two device components operate simultaneously, and the refrigeration effect is the largest. It is usually used in a refrigeration environment with high requirements and large cooling capacity. When only the evaporator assemblies 1 operate alone, it is usually used in a place with variable ambient temperature and high refrigeration requirements, and the compressor needs to be adjusted to control the ambient temperature. When only the surface condenser assemblies 2 operate alone, it is usually used in a place with relatively constant ambient temperature and fixed temperature cooling. Since the chilled water refrigeration only needs to control the water valve switch to achieve the refrigeration effect, and the environment in the machine room is stable under normal circumstances, the refrigeration requirement is low, and the chilled water refrigeration is usually used in the machine room, which can effectively reduce the cost.
