Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange technology, specifically a high-efficiency and energy-saving intelligent cold and heat source system for coastal high-salt environments. Background Technology

[0002] In coal-fired power generation projects, the cold and heat source system is the core facility ensuring air conditioning and ventilation in the main plant and the surrounding area. Traditional systems have the following problems: First, insufficient energy efficiency; poor part-load performance of chillers, low pump operating efficiency, and lack of dynamic adjustment logic lead to high overall energy consumption. Second, the lack of automatic switching mechanisms in case of system failure results in high maintenance costs. Third, the control is rudimentary; traditional control systems only implement start-stop functions and cannot optimize unit combinations and pump frequencies according to load changes, making it difficult to meet energy-saving and stable operation requirements. Finally, the severe salt spray corrosion in the coastal environment makes conventional materials prone to rust, affecting equipment lifespan. Utility Model Content
