[0027] Example

[0028] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The system includes an equipment layer 1 and a laboratory building 11. The equipment layer 1 is located on top of the laboratory building 11. Ventilation mechanisms are installed at the top of both the equipment layer 1 and the laboratory building 11. The ventilation mechanisms include an air conditioning unit 2, a main air supply pipe 8, several branch air supply pipes 9, a diffuser 10, a silicon controlled rectifier heater 101, several return plates 14, and a temperature sensor 15. The air conditioning unit 2 is fixedly installed inside the equipment layer 1. The main air supply pipe 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the air outlet of the air conditioning unit 2. Several branch air supply pipes 9 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main air supply pipe 8. The diffuser 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the branch air supply pipes 9. The silicon controlled rectifier heater 101 is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the diffuser 10. Several return plates 14 are located at the bottom of the laboratory building 11. The temperature sensor 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the return plate 14.

[0029] It should be noted that by setting up the air supply mechanism, the air supply and temperature control system has advantages such as simplicity, ease of adjustment, convenient operation, and energy saving. It also establishes a stable and uniform temperature field. By setting a silicon controlled rectifier electric heater 101 on the diffuser 10, the outlet air temperature can be precisely fine-tuned to ensure that when the airflow reaches the working area, the average temperature difference between the airflow and the working area does not exceed the allowable temperature fluctuation value. By setting up a first-stage surface cooler 3, a second-stage surface cooler 4, and a third-stage surface cooler 5, each set to a fixed temperature range, the intake air is cooled. The first-stage heater 6 and the second-stage heater 601, set to a fixed temperature range, heat up the cooled air, making the temperature control more precise.

[0030] In some embodiments, the air conditioning unit 2 is provided with a primary surface cooler 3, a secondary surface cooler 4, a primary heater 6, a tertiary surface cooler 5, and a secondary heater 601 in sequence inside the air conditioning unit 2. A supply fan 7 is fixedly installed inside the air conditioning unit 2, and the supply fan 7 is located between the tertiary surface cooler 5 and the secondary heater 601.

[0031] It should be noted that both the primary surface cooler 3 and the secondary surface cooler 4 use 2-7℃ ethylene glycol aqueous solution to cool the air temperature from 27.4-20.3℃ to 8.5-8℃ and then to 6-5.5℃, so that the outlet air temperature is controlled at 6±1℃.

[0032] In this example, the primary surface cooler 3, the secondary surface cooler 4, and the tertiary surface cooler 5 are composed of multiple rows of copper tubes and aluminum fins, and low-temperature refrigerant is circulated inside to cool the air flowing through them.

[0033] In this example, by setting up the air supply fan 7, the air conditioning unit 2 is used to extract air.

[0034] In some embodiments, the diffuser 10 is fixedly installed on the ceiling of the laboratory room 11.

[0035] In this example, diffuser 10 is an orifice plate used for uniform air supply.

[0036] In this example, the primary heater 6 and the secondary heater 601 are stepless thyristor electric heaters with a heating capacity of 20 kW. The tertiary surface cooler uses 12-17℃ chilled water to cool the air temperature from 20.7-13.2℃ to 18.6-12.4℃, and controls the outlet air temperature to 19±1℃.

[0037] In some embodiments, a plurality of steel frames 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the laboratory room 11, a floor 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the steel frames 12, a return plate 14 is fixedly installed on the floor 13, a plurality of return pipes 161 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the laboratory room 11, the return pipes 161 are located between the floor 13 and the bottom of the inner wall of the laboratory room 11, a return column 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the laboratory room 11, one end of the return pipe 161 extends through the interior of the return column 16 to the outside of the laboratory room 11, a plurality of return branch pipes are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the return pipe 161, and one end of the return branch pipe is connected to the air outlet of the corresponding return plate 14.

[0038] It should be noted that a floor 13 with an open bottom is used, and a return plate 14 at the floor 13 is used for return air. The return air is drawn by the return fan 17 and delivered to the outside of the laboratory room 11 through the return pipe 161 for ventilation.

[0039] In this example, the temperature of the recirculated air is detected by the temperature sensor 15 in the recirculation plate 14, making the indoor temperature detection more accurate.

[0040] In some embodiments, a return fan 17 is fixedly installed inside the equipment layer 1. One end of the return pipe 161 is connected to one end of the air inlet of the return fan 17. A connecting pipe 18 is fixedly installed at one end of the air outlet of the return fan 17. A regulating valve 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 18. An air inlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the air inlet of the air conditioning unit 2. The connecting pipe 18 is connected to the air inlet pipe 21. A solenoid valve 20 is fixedly installed on the air inlet pipe 21 to regulate the air volume.

[0041] In this example, the connecting pipe 18 is connected to the air inlet pipe 21, and each can be adjusted by a valve so that the returning air can re-enter the air conditioning unit 2 and mix with the newly drawn air, thus reducing the burden of temperature control.

[0042] Working principle: When the air supply fan 7 is started, air is introduced. Both the primary surface cooler 3 and the secondary surface cooler 4 use 2-7℃ ethylene glycol aqueous solution to cool the air temperature from 27.4-20.3℃ to 8.5-8℃ and then to 6-5.5℃, so that the outlet air temperature is controlled at 6±1℃. The silicon controlled rectifier electric heater 101 is started to finely adjust the air supply temperature. Then, the air is introduced into the laboratory room 11 through the diffuser 10.

[0043] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
