[0030] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an air conditioning system is provided, comprising: a first refrigeration unit 1, connected to a first chilled water delivery unit 11; a second refrigeration unit 2, connected to a second chilled water delivery unit 21; a refrigeration thermostat, located inside the workshop, electrically connected to the first refrigeration unit 1 and the second refrigeration unit 2, adapted to control the start and stop of the first refrigeration unit 1 and the second refrigeration unit 2 respectively; an auxiliary chilled water delivery unit 3, arranged in parallel with the first chilled water delivery unit 11; a first chilled water thermostat 12, located on the chilled water outlet side of the first refrigeration unit 1, electrically connected to the first chilled water delivery unit 11; a second chilled water thermostat 22, located on the chilled water outlet side of the second refrigeration unit 2, electrically connected to the second chilled water delivery unit 21; and a refrigeration terminal 4, with its outlet side connected to the first refrigeration unit 1 and the second refrigeration unit 2, and its inlet side connected to the first chilled water delivery unit 11 and the second chilled water delivery unit 21.

[0033] Specifically, the configuration of refrigeration units is not limited to the first refrigeration unit 1 and the second refrigeration unit 2; at least two independent refrigeration units are required.

[0034] In this embodiment, a "one pump supplies one unit" configuration is adopted, eliminating the parallel connection between the chilled water delivery units and setting the refrigeration system in a dual-line parallel manner. The refrigeration temperature controller installed inside the workshop can start and stop the first refrigeration unit 1 or the second refrigeration unit 2 according to the actual temperature, switching between single-line refrigeration or dual-line simultaneous refrigeration, which saves manpower and power resources. The first refrigeration unit 1 works with the first chilled water delivery unit 11 to supply chilled water to the refrigeration terminal 4. The first chilled water temperature controller 12 can detect the actual outlet water temperature on the chilled water side of the first refrigeration unit 1 and adjust the delivery speed of the first chilled water delivery unit 11 and the start and stop of the auxiliary chilled water delivery unit 3 according to the temperature. The auxiliary chilled water delivery unit 3 serves as a backup delivery unit for the first refrigeration unit 1. While ensuring the refrigeration effect, it simplifies the operation steps, reduces the amount of manual labor, and rationally sets the start and stop of each electrical device, greatly saving energy.

[0035] Specifically, the first cold water delivery unit 11 includes a first cold water pump and a first frequency converter. The first frequency converter is installed at the first cold water pump, and the first cold water pump is connected to the first refrigeration unit 1. The first frequency converter is adapted to adjust the pump speed of the first cold water pump. The second cold water delivery unit 21 includes a second cold water pump and a second frequency converter. The second frequency converter is installed at the second cold water pump, and the second cold water pump is connected to the second refrigeration unit 2. The second frequency converter is adapted to adjust the pump speed of the second cold water pump.

[0036] Specifically, the auxiliary cold water delivery unit 3 is the first pump body.

[0037] The specific usage process is as follows: the refrigeration temperature controller can be set in the more important and higher temperature filling area of ​​the workshop. The refrigeration temperature controller can sense the temperature during workshop production and compare it with the pre-set temperature value. The value of the set temperature can be determined according to the actual production needs of the workshop, and control the start and stop of the refrigeration unit.

[0038] Specifically, when the temperature inside the workshop is high, the refrigeration thermostat first turns on the first refrigeration unit 1. If the temperature inside the workshop still does not meet the requirements after a period of time, the second refrigeration unit 2 is turned on to supplement the cooling. After the temperature inside the workshop reaches the set temperature for a period of time, the second refrigeration unit 2 is turned off, leaving only the first refrigeration unit 1 to operate normally for cooling.

[0039] Furthermore, the first chilled water pump supplies water to the first refrigeration unit 1, and the second chilled water pump supplies water to the second refrigeration unit 2. The first pump body is a standby pump for the unit. Inverters are installed at the first and second chilled water pumps respectively, and the inverters can adjust the pumping speed of the pumps. The first chilled water temperature controller 12 and the second chilled water temperature controller 22 can detect the supply water temperature on the chilled water side of the refrigeration unit and compare it with the set temperature value, and control the start / stop or pumping speed of the corresponding pump body respectively.

[0040] Specifically, if the chilled water outlet temperature of the first chiller unit 1 is higher than the set temperature, the first chilled water temperature controller 12 increases the pump speed of the first chilled water pump through the first frequency converter to increase the water pressure and reduce the outlet water temperature; if the first chilled water pump reaches full speed but the outlet water temperature still does not reach the set temperature, the first chilled water temperature controller 12 controls the first pump body to start and participate in pumping to further increase the water pressure and further reduce the outlet water temperature; similarly, if the second chiller unit 2 starts and its chilled water outlet temperature rises, the second chilled water temperature controller 22 also increases the pump speed of the second chilled water pump to reduce the outlet water temperature; if the chilled water reaches the set temperature, the relevant water pumps operate at the minimum pump speed.

[0041] During actual production, the air conditioning system provided in this embodiment consumes an average of 2,200 to 3,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, while before the modification, the average daily electricity consumption was 6,000 to 10,000 kilowatt-hours, which means that 4,000 to 6,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity can be saved every day, greatly reducing the cost of electricity.

[0042] In some embodiments, the system further includes: a first cooling tower 5 connected to the first refrigeration unit 1, wherein a first flow switch 51 is provided on the water inlet side of the first cooling tower 5; a second cooling tower 6 connected to the second refrigeration unit 2, wherein a second flow switch 61 is provided on the water inlet side of the second cooling tower 6; a first fan 52 is provided inside the first cooling tower 5, and the first fan 52 is electrically connected to the first flow switch 51; a second fan 62 is provided inside the second cooling tower 6, and the second fan 62 is electrically connected to the second flow switch 61; and a cooling temperature controller is located outside the workshop and is electrically connected to the first fan 52 and the second fan 62 respectively.

[0043] Specifically, the cooling temperature controller is used to detect the temperature under the outdoor sunlight outside the workshop, and the first water flow switch 51 and the second water flow switch 61 are used to detect whether water is flowing through the corresponding pipe. When the temperature under the outdoor sunlight reaches the set temperature or above, and the first water flow switch 51 or the second water flow switch 61 detects that water is flowing through the corresponding pipe, the first fan 52 or the second fan 62 is turned on to improve the cooling effect.

[0044] Optionally, the set temperature in the cooling temperature controller can be selected according to the actual production needs of the workshop, and can be 32 degrees.

[0045] In some embodiments, the system further includes a fan device 10 connected to the refrigeration terminal 4, wherein the fan device 10 is used to introduce fresh outdoor air into the air conditioning system and exhaust air from the workshop to the outside.

[0046] In some embodiments, the system further includes: a first circulation conveying unit 7 connected to the first refrigeration unit 1; a second circulation conveying unit 8 connected to the second refrigeration unit 2; a secondary circulation conveying unit 9 connected in parallel with the first circulation conveying unit 7; a first circulation temperature controller 71 located on the circulating water outlet side of the first refrigeration unit 1 and electrically connected to the first circulation conveying unit 7 and the secondary circulation conveying unit 9; and a second circulation temperature controller 81 located on the circulating water outlet side of the second refrigeration unit 2 and electrically connected to the second circulation conveying unit 8.

[0047] In the circulating water system, the "one pump supplies one unit" configuration is also adopted. The circulating water is cooled by the cooling tower and supplied to the first refrigeration unit 1 and the second refrigeration unit 2 respectively through the first circulating conveying unit 7 or the second circulating conveying unit 8. This is used to cool the high-temperature refrigerant such as high-temperature fluorine in the refrigeration unit and to cool the lubricating oil of the unit, so as to ensure the normal operation of the refrigeration unit.

[0048] Specifically, the first circulating conveying unit 7 includes a first circulating pump and a third frequency converter. The first circulating pump is connected to the first refrigeration unit 1, and the third frequency converter is installed at the first circulating pump. The third frequency converter is adapted to adjust the pumping speed of the first circulating pump. The second circulating conveying unit 8 includes a second circulating pump and a fourth frequency converter. The second circulating pump is connected to the second refrigeration unit 2, and the second circulating pump is installed at the second circulating pump. The fourth frequency converter is adapted to adjust the pumping speed of the second circulating pump.

[0049] In one alternative embodiment, the secondary circulation conveying unit 9 is a second pump body.

[0050] Specifically, the first circulating pump supplies water to the first refrigeration unit 1, the second circulating pump supplies water to the second refrigeration unit 2, and the second pump body is the standby pump for the unit; frequency converters are installed at the first and second circulating pumps respectively, and the frequency converters can adjust the pumping speed of the water pumps; the first circulating temperature controller 71 and the second circulating temperature controller 81 can detect the temperature of the circulating water outlet side of the refrigeration unit and compare it with the set temperature value, and control the start / stop or pumping speed of the corresponding pump body respectively.

[0051] If the outlet water temperature of the circulating water in the first chiller unit 1 is higher than the set temperature, the first circulating temperature controller 71 increases the pump speed of the first circulating pump through the third frequency converter to increase the water pressure and lower the outlet water temperature. If the first circulating pump reaches full speed but the outlet water temperature still does not reach the set temperature, the first circulating temperature controller 71 controls the second pump to start and participate in pumping to further increase the water pressure and further lower the outlet water temperature. Similarly, if the second chiller unit 2 starts and its circulating outlet water temperature rises, the second circulating temperature controller 81 also increases the pump speed of the second circulating pump to lower the outlet water temperature. If the circulating water reaches the set temperature, the temperature controller makes the relevant water pumps run at the lowest pump speed.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and are not intended to limit the implementation. Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
