[0018] Further, the second refrigeration device 2 is communicated with the air conditioner water supply 12 at the water outlet through a check valve 211, which can avoid the backflow of chilled water in the air conditioner water supply 12 to the second refrigeration device 2.
[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 .
[0020] The system is arranged in a multi-storey building, and each floor is respectively configured with a single or multiple cold using devices 4 according to the space load demand; the water inlet of the cold using device 4 is communicated with the air conditioner water supply 12, and multiple cold using devices 4 are connected in parallel on the air conditioner water supply 12; the water outlet of the cold using device 4 is communicated with a three-way valve 41, two of which are respectively communicated with the first air conditioner return water 11 and the second air conditioner return water 21, and the other one is communicated with the water outlet of the cold using device 4; multiple three-way valves 41 are connected in parallel on the first air conditioner return water 11, and multiple three-way valves 41 are connected in parallel on the second air conditioner return water 21;
[0021] Further, the cold using device 4 is communicated with the three-way valve 41 through an adjusting valve 42, which is used to control the water discharge flow of the water outlet of the cold using device 4; a temperature sensor 431 is arranged between the cold using device 4 and the three-way valve 41, which is used to monitor the temperature of the chilled water discharged by the cold using device 4; a pressure sensor 432 is arranged between the water inlet of the cold using device 4 and the air conditioner water supply 12, which monitors the water pressure of the chilled water entering the cold using device 4 to determine whether the water supply pressure value meets the design requirements, so that the adjusting valve 42 can better control the flow;
[0022] Further, a PLC device 43 is arranged on the cold using device 4, multiple PLC devices 43 are electrically connected in parallel, the adjusting valve 42, the three-way valve 41, the temperature sensor 431 and the pressure sensor 432 are electrically connected with the PLC device 43, the temperature sensor 431 and the pressure sensor 432 transmit the monitored data to the PLC device 43, and the PLC device 43 controls the operation of the adjusting valve 42 and the three-way valve 41.
[0023] When running, the first refrigeration device 1 and the second refrigeration device 2 inject low-temperature chilled water into the air conditioning water supply 12, and the air conditioning water supply 12 guides the low-temperature chilled water to each cold-using device 4 in turn; the low-temperature chilled water absorbs heat when flowing through the cold-using device 4, the chilled water is warmed, the temperature of the chilled water is monitored by using the temperature sensor 431, and the monitored temperature data is transmitted to the PLC device 43; when the temperature of the chilled water is low, the PLC device 43 controls the regulating valve 42 to be small, thereby reducing the flow of the chilled water flowing through the cold-using device 4, and when the temperature of the chilled water is high, the PLC device 43 controls the regulating valve 42 to be large, thereby increasing the flow of the chilled water flowing through the cold-using device 4, so that the cold-using device 4 can efficiently utilize the chilled water, avoid waste, and enable the system to reduce the energy consumption of the system while ensuring the normal operation of the cold-using device 4.
