[0070] In actual application, each control valve in the data center refrigeration terminal is controlled according to the cooling water temperature provided by the cooling tower and the liquid return temperature of the liquid cooling system, and specifically includes the following cases.
[0071] Case 1: When the cooling water temperature is low, the second cooling system does not need to be started, and the cooling medium in the liquid cooling system is exchanged with the first cooling system.
