Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an air supply system, specifically a variable air volume centralized air supply system. Background Technology
[0002] In existing centralized air supply technologies, there are generally two approaches. One is to use high-power main units to supply air separately. Since the main units have large power, there is a lot of energy waste when the air supply demand at the terminal is not large. The other is to use a structure of multiple main units, with each main unit responsible for a portion of the air supply demand. Although this can solve the problem of not needing to start a high-power main unit when the air supply demand at the terminal is not large, it is limited by the power of a single main unit. When the air supply demand at the terminal varies greatly, it cannot meet the needs of large-scale variable air volume air supply applications. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a simple structure that can meet the needs of large-span variable air volume while ensuring the accuracy of air volume control.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a variable air volume centralized air supply system, including multiple outdoor refrigeration units and multiple air supply main units. Each refrigeration unit is connected to an air supply main unit via a gas pipe and a liquid pipe. The system is characterized in that: one end of the air supply main unit is connected to a fresh air fan, the fresh air fan outlet is connected to the outside through a filter window, a first temperature sensor is installed between this end and the evaporator inside the air supply main unit, a centrifugal fan and a second temperature sensor are installed sequentially between the evaporator and the other end of the air supply main unit, the other end of the air supply main unit is connected to an air supply pipe, a pressure sensor, a one-way valve, a solenoid valve and an electric air valve are installed sequentially on the air supply pipe facing outwards, the air supply pipes of any two or more air supply main units are connected to a main air duct, a flow sensor, a main temperature sensor and a main pressure sensor are installed sequentially on the main air duct, the main air duct is connected to one or more indoor air supply units, the indoor exhaust air is connected to the outside through an exhaust duct, and a manual exhaust air valve and an electric exhaust air valve are installed on the exhaust duct.
[0005] The refrigeration unit includes a compressor, an oil separator, a condenser, an axial flow fan, a fluorinated ball valve, and a gas-liquid separator. The compressor exhaust passes sequentially through the oil separator, the condenser, and the fluorinated ball valve, and is connected to the air supply unit via a gas pipe. The air supply unit is connected back to the compressor return end via the fluorinated ball valve and the gas-liquid separator. An axial flow fan is correspondingly installed on the condenser.
[0006] The liquid phase of the oil separator is connected back to the compressor return gas end via a valve-controlled pipeline.
[0007] The evaporator inside the air supply unit is connected to the refrigeration unit via a built-in liquid storage tank, filter, and electronic expansion valve.
[0008] The main air duct is also equipped with a manual air supply valve after the pressure sensor and an electric air supply valve after the air volume sensor.
[0009] The main air duct is connected to one or more indoor air distributors.
[0010] The air distributor is a variable air volume air distributor.
[0011] An anemometer is installed at the outlet of the air distributor.
[0012] Multiple anemometers are evenly distributed or arranged in an array at the outlet of the air distributor.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Two or more air supply units share a main duct. A centrifugal fan and temperature sensor at the front of the air supply duct control the output temperature of each air supply unit. Pressure and on / off control are monitored on the air supply duct, thus merging the air supply to the main duct. Air volume, temperature, pressure, and manual or automatic on / off control are monitored on the main duct. Finally, air is supplied to multiple indoor variable air volume (VAV) distributors to complete the terminal VAV air supply. An anemometer is installed at the distributor outlet to monitor the air volume of each room at multiple points. The supply air temperature, pressure, and air volume are controllable and highly accurate. When the air volume demand in a single room or all rooms requiring air supply is low, the air supply units are selectively activated. When the air volume demand in all rooms requiring air supply is high, multiple air supply units are selectively activated and merged through the main duct before air is supplied. This approach can meet the demand for large-span VAVs while maintaining accurate air volume control. Attached Figure Description
