Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning system technology, specifically to an air-cooled air conditioning system with a variable condenser heat exchange area. Background Technology

[0002] An air-cooled air conditioning system is an air conditioning system that uses air as the cooling medium. It dissipates heat from the refrigeration system to the outdoor air through an air-cooled condenser, thereby cooling the indoor air. This system typically consists of major components such as a compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator. The refrigerant circulates within the system, absorbing and releasing heat through phase change to regulate indoor temperature and humidity. It offers advantages such as easy installation, quiet operation, and simple maintenance, and is widely used in homes, commercial spaces, and industrial environments.

[0003] In addition, for air conditioning systems for low-temperature refrigeration (VFD rooms / energy storage rooms), when the outdoor ambient temperature is below -10℃, the condensing pressure is often too low. This leads to a decrease in low pressure, eventually causing a low-pressure alarm. Alternatively, the unit may operate under this pressure for a long time, resulting in insufficient high and low pressure differentials, abnormal oil return to the compressor, and ultimately, serious consequences such as compressor oil shortage and damage. Therefore, it is necessary to design an air-cooled air conditioning system with a variable condenser heat exchange area. Utility Model Content

A pressure sensor 28 is fixedly connected to the right end of the compressor 26 via the connecting pipe 21. The left end of the pressure sensor 28 is fixedly connected to the back of the housing 1 via the connecting pipe 21.

[0030] Furthermore, the front of the four-way valve 27 is fixedly connected to the right end of the pressure sensor 28 via the connecting pipe 21.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] See Figure 1-6Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the filter mechanism 3 further includes a vertical base 31, which is fixedly connected to the left end of the housing 1. A T-shaped strip 32 is slidably connected inside the vertical base 31. A spring 351 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the T-shaped strip 32, and a top strip 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the T-shaped strip 32. A T-shaped component 331 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the T-shaped strip 32, and a rectangular strip 34 is fixedly connected inside the T-shaped component 331. A filter frame 352 is provided on the left side of the housing 1. A card holder 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the filter frame 352, and a filter screen 36 is fixedly connected inside the filter frame 352. A filter screen 36 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. An outdoor heat exchanger 38 is provided with heat exchanger manifolds 37 on both sides of the outdoor heat exchanger 38. A finned temperature sensor 391 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outdoor heat exchanger 38. A solenoid valve 39 is fixedly connected between the right side of the outdoor heat exchanger 38 and the heat exchanger manifolds 37. A fan plate 361 is fixedly connected to the left side of the box 1. A second fan device 362 is fixedly connected inside the fan plate 361. A guide groove is opened inside the vertical seat 31. The surface of the T-shaped strip 32 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove. The bottom end of the spring 351 is fixedly connected to the inside of the guide groove. A slot is opened on the left side of the box 1. The surface of the filter frame 352 matches the inside of the slot.

[0033] Furthermore, the card holder 35 has an opening at the top, the surface of the rectangular strip 34 matches the inside of the opening, the vertical base 31 has a through hole at the top, and the upper surface of the T-shaped strip 32 extends through the through hole at the top of the vertical base 31.

[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used for air-cooled air conditioning systems, the indoor heat exchanger 24 is divided into three independent parts with a ratio of 1 / 2, 1 / 4, and 1 / 4. When the ambient temperature Th: 0℃ > Th ≥ -10℃, the top solenoid valve 39 is closed and the bottom solenoid valve 39 is opened. At this time, half of the condenser area in the indoor heat exchanger 24 is in operation, ensuring that the condensing pressure is above 8 bar.

[0035] When the ambient temperature Th: -10℃>Th≥-20℃, both solenoid valves 39 are closed. At this time, 1 / 4 of the condenser area is in operation, which can ensure that the condensing pressure is above 8 bar.

[0036] When the ambient temperature Th: -20℃ > Th, the top solenoid valve 39 is closed, the bottom solenoid valve 39 is closed, and the fan equipment 2 362 is shut down. At this time, half of the condenser area is in operation, and the air volume is reduced by half, which can ensure that the condensing pressure is above 7 bar.

[0037] In addition, for occasional heating needs in winter, this system can switch to heat pump mode via the four-way valve 27. In heat pump mode, the condenser becomes an evaporator. Since the outdoor temperature is below 0℃, frost will form on the evaporator during operation. This patent also works well in heat pump mode. The top solenoid valve 39 is closed, and the bottom solenoid valve 39 is open. At this time, the lower part of the evaporator is working. After running for a period of time, when the fins of the indoor heat exchanger 24 are frosted (judged by fin temperature and low pressure), the top solenoid valve 39 opens and the bottom solenoid valve 39 closes. At this time, the upper part of the evaporator is working, and the lower part of the evaporator is naturally defrosted by the blower 362, achieving defrosting without stopping the machine. When the upper part is frosted, the cycle is switched again.
