TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of for when substation environment temperature, humidity " double high " of well, substation environment temperature, humidity control device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the underground power supply system, multiple stages, several substations are arranged for transmission and distribution. In winter, the substations close to the air intake well are cooled by the cold and humid air flow from the ground, and the temperature is lower, and the humidity is too low. In summer, the temperature of the substations close to the air intake well is higher, and the humidity is also higher. And the electrical equipment in the substation, especially the transformer and motor, are self-heating devices, and the temperature of the heat dissipation surface can reach above 80℃. And the air flow in the substation is slow, and the heat emitted is accumulated in the substation, so that the air pressure in the substation is higher than the air pressure in the roadway at the same position. The substation is mostly designed as a relatively closed space, which is not conducive to the air circulation in the substation, and aggravates the increase of temperature and humidity in the substation. Under high temperature and high humidity, the insulation of electrical equipment in the substation ages rapidly, and when the insulation is aged to a certain extent, various insulation aging failures will occur, and the equipment will be electrically broken or burned. In order to slow down the aging speed of the equipment and prevent electrical accidents, it is necessary to design a device for controlling the temperature and humidity of the substation, so that the temperature in the substation is within the safe range.
[0003] The existing technical solution mainly increases the air intake of the ventilator to improve the speed of air flow. However, when the air temperature of the air intake well is higher than 30℃ in summer, this method has very poor cooling effect. In view of these shortcomings, the purpose of the present application is achieved. Increasing the air intake can reduce the ambient temperature to a certain extent. However, in most cases, the ambient temperature of the substation is higher than 28℃ and the humidity is greater than 70%. Installing a mine explosion-proof air conditioner can effectively improve the ambient temperature and humidity. However, most enterprises stop due to high equipment cost and roadway reconstruction investment. It is necessary to invent a temperature control device that can fully utilize the existing resources and equipment of coal mine, with low investment and low operating cost. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a kind of substation environment temperature control device in well, fully utilizes the compressed air resource that can be seen everywhere in mine, drives vortex tube to realize cold gas preparation and cooling to substation equipment.

[0019] The specific content of the utility model is further described as follows:
[0020] The utility model underground substation environmental temperature control device, including high pressure air pipe 2, spiral coil 1, heat exchange device 7 and vortex tube 3, high pressure air pipe 2 is connected in the air inlet end of vortex tube, and the cold end air outlet of vortex tube 3 is connected the import of spiral coil 1, and spiral coil 1 is spiral metal coil, and the spiral is big and small, and the big end is the air inlet end, and the small end is the air outlet end, and the air outlet end faces the cooling component in the underground substation, and the outlet of spiral coil 1 is connected with the outside.
[0021] The device uses vortex tube refrigeration, which separates cold and hot air streams by the action of vortex tube, and uses cold air stream for refrigeration. Vortex tube refrigeration uses the viscous friction effect between the outer spiral airflow layers to separate cold and hot air streams from high-pressure high-speed airflow.

The spiral coil 1 is provided with a horn-shaped cylinder outside, and the large end is directed towards the air inlet, and the small end is directed towards the air inlet of the underground substation. This structure can collect air flow, and a fan can also be added to increase air flow speed.
[0024] The cold air flow in the spiral coil 1 exchanges heat with the natural air flow, reducing the temperature of the natural air flow and blowing it to the substation equipment for cooling.

A temperature control sensor is arranged in the underground substation, and the temperature control sensor and the intrinsic safety electromagnetic valve are connected to a control circuit.

[0026] When compressed air enters from the air inlet pipe, the temperature of the cold end air outlet of the vortex tube 3 will be lower than that of the air inlet; the spiral coil 8 in the cold end is filled with cold air, and the air flow flowing through the spiral coil 8 will blow out cold air.
[0027] In order to accelerate the cooling, a fan is arranged at the end of the spiral cylinder-shaped air inlet to increase the air inlet volume. An electromagnetic control valve is arranged on the high-pressure air inlet pipe to adjust the high-pressure air volume and adjust the cold air temperature in the spiral coil 8.
[0028] In the device, the heat exchanger 4 in the heat exchange device 7 is connected with the underground dust removal water system to prevent the heat from directly entering the underground environment.
[0029] The device fully utilizes the existing compressed air resources to realize cold air preparation for the substation cooling, and fully utilizes the existing resources. The device can be installed at the air inlet or air regulating window of each substation, and a cooling fan can not be arranged or the existing air speed can be utilized, and a smaller power fan is selected to save equipment investment cost and operation cost.
