[0037] When it is needed to start the air-cooled refrigeration mode, the cold accumulation refrigeration mode is closed; when it is needed to start the cold accumulation refrigeration mode, the air-cooled refrigeration mode is closed.

[0038] The system load start-stop sequence of the embodiment is as follows: the air-cooled refrigeration is started in the order of the evaporating fan 2, the electromagnetic valve one 106, the condensing fan 1 and the compressor 101, and the closing sequence is reversed. The cold accumulation refrigeration is started in the order of the water pump 204, the cold accumulation refrigeration system working is started in the order of the condensing fan 1 and the compressor 101, and the closing sequence is reversed.

[0040] In the embodiment, the cold accumulation tank 201 can also perform liquid discharge work through the liquid discharge valve 210.

[0041] In the embodiment, the photoelectric liquid level switch one 206 and the photoelectric liquid level switch two 207 are arranged on the cold accumulation tank 201, and the different liquid levels of the cold accumulation tank 201 are sensed through the photoelectric liquid level switch one 206 and the photoelectric liquid level switch two 207. When the liquid level is too high or too low, the photoelectric liquid level switch alarms simply and reliably.
