Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of temperature control technology for energy storage equipment, specifically to an energy storage constant temperature and humidity multi-mode energy-saving air conditioning system. Background Technology
[0002] The energy storage industry is dominated by lithium-ion batteries. A storage container is formed by connecting several lithium batteries in series and parallel and placing them inside, thus storing or releasing electrical energy. However, lithium batteries have stringent operating temperature requirements, generally needing to be stable between 15 and 35°C and between 35% and 70% humidity. This necessitates the installation of an energy storage temperature control system to regulate the environment of the lithium batteries inside the storage container, ensuring they operate in an ideal environment.
[0003] In existing energy storage temperature and humidity control systems, cooling, heating, and dehumidification of lithium batteries within energy storage containers are required for different outdoor environments. First, cooling is typically achieved using compressor-based air-cooled or compressor-based liquid-cooled air conditioning systems. Liquid-cooled systems usually employ plate heat exchangers and liquid-cooled pipes for liquid cooling, while air-cooled systems typically use finned evaporator coils and fans for air cooling. Second, heating is usually achieved by heating the liquid-cooled pipes with electric heaters to heat the lithium batteries, but the heating effect is limited and power consumption is high. Third, dehumidification is usually achieved by installing a separate semiconductor dehumidifier or compressor dehumidifier within the battery compartment. Semiconductor dehumidifiers have poor dehumidification efficiency, while compressor dehumidifiers are bulky and space-consuming. Therefore, these problems urgently need to be addressed.

Detailed Implementation
[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this section is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an energy-storage, constant-temperature and constant-humidity, multi-mode energy-saving air conditioning system, including a compressor 100, which is connected to an active liquid-cooled circulation component and an active air-cooled circulation component. The active liquid-cooled circulation component and the active air-cooled circulation component include a shared fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200. The active air-cooled circulation component also includes a first air-cooled heat exchanger 300. The first air-cooled heat exchanger 300 is equipped with a first fan, and its output end is connected to an energy storage container 500. The active liquid-cooled circulation component also includes a first liquid-cooled heat exchanger 400 for heat exchange connection with a battery pack 510. The fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200 is also directly connected to the battery pack 510 to form a passive air-cooled circulation mechanism. The battery pack 510 is also connected to a deep water well 600 to form a passive liquid-cooled circulation mechanism.
[0049] In this embodiment, the compressor 100, as the core power component of the entire system, is connected to the active liquid cooling circulation component and the active air cooling circulation component respectively, providing power for the circulation of refrigerant and promoting the transfer of heat between different components.
[0050] In this embodiment, the passive air-cooling circulation mechanism and the passive liquid-cooling circulation mechanism are suitable for operating conditions where the outdoor temperature is low and the battery pack 510 temperature is low, thereby meeting the cooling requirements of the battery pack 510 and effectively reducing energy consumption; the active air-cooling circulation component and the active liquid-cooling circulation component can not only meet the cooling requirements of the battery pack 510, but also control the temperature of the battery pack 510 by reversing the refrigerant when the temperature is too low, thereby keeping the battery pack 510 always within the specified temperature range.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the active air-cooled circulation assembly further includes a first four-way valve 310; the first end of the first four-way valve 310 is connected to the output end of the compressor 100, the second end is connected to the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200, the third end is connected to the input end of the compressor 100, and the fourth end is connected to the first air-cooled heat exchanger 300; the first and third ends are switchably connected to the second and fourth ends to switch the flow direction of the refrigerant in the active air-cooled circulation assembly.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the active air-cooled circulation assembly further includes a first electronic expansion valve 320; one end of the first electronic expansion valve 320 is connected to the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200, and the other end is connected to the first air-cooled heat exchanger 300.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first four-way valve 310 plays a key switching role in the active air-cooled circulation assembly. By switching the connection state of the first four-way valve 310, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the active air-cooled circulation assembly can be changed, thereby realizing the switching between cooling and heating modes.
[0054] In this embodiment, in the cooling mode, the refrigerant is output from the compressor 100, flows through the first four-way valve 310 to the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200 for cooling, and then, when passing through the first electronic expansion valve 320, the refrigerant pressure drops sharply due to the throttling effect, changing from a high-temperature, high-pressure gas to a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixture. Subsequently, the refrigerant enters the first air-cooled heat exchanger 300, where it absorbs heat from the surrounding air or other media and rapidly evaporates and vaporizes, thereby achieving a cooling effect on the environment. Because the first air-cooled heat exchanger 300 is equipped with a first fan, it can effectively blow cooling air into the energy storage container 500, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
[0055] In this embodiment, in heating mode, the refrigerant is output from the compressor 100 and directly enters the first air-cooled heat exchanger 300. At this time, the refrigerant is in a high temperature and high pressure state and will release a large amount of heat. With the help of the first fan, the heating effect can be achieved.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the active liquid cooling circulation assembly further includes a second four-way valve 410; the fifth end of the second four-way valve 410 is connected to the output end of the compressor 100, the sixth end is connected to the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200, the seventh end is connected to the input end of the compressor 100, and the eighth end is connected to the first liquid cooling heat exchanger 400; the fifth and seventh ends are switchably connected to the sixth and eighth ends to switch the flow direction of the refrigerant in the active liquid cooling circulation assembly.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the active liquid cooling circulation assembly further includes a second electronic expansion valve 420; one end of the second electronic expansion valve 420 is connected to the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200, and the other end is connected to the first liquid cooling heat exchanger 400.
[0058] In this embodiment, in the active liquid cooling circulation assembly, the first liquid cooling heat exchanger 400 is used to connect with the battery pack 510 for heat exchange. The cooling water connected to the battery pack 510 first exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the first liquid cooling heat exchanger 400, and then exchanges heat with the battery pack 510, thereby forming temperature control.
[0059] In this embodiment, the fifth end of the second four-way valve 410 is connected to the output end of the compressor 100, the sixth end is connected to the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200, the seventh end is connected to the input end of the compressor 100, and the eighth end is connected to the first liquid-cooled heat exchanger 400. Similar to the first four-way valve 310, the second four-way valve 410 can switch the connection state to change the flow direction of the refrigerant in the active liquid-cooled circulation component, thereby realizing the cooling or heating operation of the battery pack 510.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200 is internally equipped with a second fan, a water pipe, and a fluorine pipe; the water pipe is connected to the battery pack 510 and is used to cool the cooling water; the fluorine pipe is connected to the active air-cooled circulation assembly and the active liquid-cooled circulation assembly respectively and is used to cool the refrigerant.
[0061] In this embodiment, the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200 is internally equipped with a second fan, as well as water pipes and fluorine pipes. The water pipes are connected to the battery pack 510. When the cooling water flows through the battery pack 510, it can remove the heat generated by the battery pack 510, thereby cooling the battery pack 510. When the water flows through the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200, the second fan can reduce the heat of the cooling water, thereby ensuring that the cooling water can continuously cool the battery pack 510. The fluorine pipes are connected to the active air-cooling circulation component and the active liquid-cooling circulation component, respectively, for cooling the refrigerant.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the battery pack 510 is provided with a first three-way valve 520 and a second three-way valve 530 at both ends; the first three-way valve 520 and the second three-way valve 530 are also connected to the first liquid-cooled heat exchanger 400 and the deep water well 600 respectively, for switching the cooling mode; a first water pump 531 is also provided between the second three-way valve 530 and the deep water well 600 for driving water circulation.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the deep water well 600 is connected to the first three-way valve 520 and the second three-way valve 530 via a second liquid-cooled heat exchanger 610; a second water pump 620 is also provided between the second liquid-cooled heat exchanger 610 and the deep water well 600 for driving water circulation.
[0064] In this embodiment, the battery pack 510 and the deep well 600 are indirectly connected through the second liquid-cooled heat exchanger 610, which can effectively prevent the cooling water from being contaminated, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooling system of the battery pack 510.
[0065] In a preferred embodiment, a third three-way valve 540 and a fourth three-way valve 550 are respectively provided between the first three-way valve 520 and the second three-way valve 530 and the first liquid-cooled heat exchanger 400; the third three-way valve 540 is connected to the first three-way valve 520, and a third water pump 560 is also provided between them.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the fluorine-water air-cooled heat exchanger 200 is connected to the battery pack 510 via the third three-way valve 540 and the fourth three-way valve 550.
