Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an energy-saving device, specifically an energy-saving device for high-efficiency computer room construction, belonging to the field of central air conditioning technology. Background Technology
[0002] In large public places such as train stations, a centralized air conditioning system with a centralized cold source is generally used for cooling, and an independent machine room is provided. The chilled water pump and cooling water pump in the machine room are the energy transmission equipment of the central air conditioning system. The former transports chilled water from the chiller room to the air-conditioned areas (rooms) to meet their cooling requirements, while the latter moves the heat transferred from the air-conditioned areas to the chiller room to the outside of the station. The water pump is the second largest power-consuming equipment in the chiller room. The efficiency of the actual operation of the motor and water pump not only directly affects the power consumption of the chiller room, but also indirectly affects the performance of the chiller unit if the water pump flow rate is reasonable.
[0003] In the existing technology, the chilled water pumps of central air conditioning systems with centralized cold sources are generally fixed-frequency chilled water pumps. Although fixed-frequency chilled water pumps have a simple structure, low cost, convenient maintenance, stable and reliable operation, and long service life, and can reduce equipment wear caused by frequent start-stop, ensuring efficient operation, they cannot be frequency-controlled, have high energy consumption, and increase operating costs. Therefore, we provide an energy-saving device for high-efficiency computer room construction to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
