TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the cooling equipment technical field of electric control box 1, especially to a cooling device for the electric control box of vapor compression refrigeration equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to match the increasing user demand, the refrigeration and heating capacity of temperature control equipment also needs to be constantly rising, while the temperature control equipment requires very compact and complete functions, so that the types and power of components in the electric control box of the temperature control equipment are more and more, and the heat generation of the electric control box is also more and more.
[0003] At present, the working cycle principle of the common refrigeration heat pump equipment is mostly vapor compression type, and the common cooling method for the electric control box of the refrigeration heat pump equipment is to install a fan for heat dissipation. Since the refrigeration heat pump equipment is often used in high-temperature, high-humidity and high-dust environments, the effect of using a traditional fan to cool the electric control box in a high-temperature, high-humidity and high-dust environment is not obvious. Moreover, long-term use of a traditional fan for heat dissipation in a high-temperature, high-humidity and high-dust environment will cause the ventilation filter screen on the surface of the electric control box to be blocked, thereby causing the temperature in the electric control box to be too high, and further affecting the normal use of the refrigeration heat pump equipment. In addition, using a traditional fan for heat dissipation requires a large area of holes to be opened on the electric control box, which destroys the overall sealing of the electric control box. At the same time, the heat dissipation fan has a large volume, which is not friendly to the design of the internal space of the electric control box. SUMMARY
