Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler technology, specifically to an air cooler unit that can be used in both winter and summer. Background Technology

[0002] An air cooler is a heat exchange device that uses ambient air as the cooling medium and cools or condenses high-temperature process fluids through components such as finned tubes and fans. However, existing air coolers have limited cooling effects in summer and consume a lot of energy when used in winter and summer because they share a single system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an energy-saving air cooler that can be used separately in winter and summer. Utility Model Content

[0007] The air inlet of the air cooler body is connected to the air inlet pipe, and the exhaust of the air cooler body is connected to the exhaust pipe. The exhaust of the exhaust of the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust pipe through a four-way valve. The air inlet of the water cooler is connected to the four-way valve through the air inlet horizontal pipe. The exhaust of the water cooler is connected to the three-way valve through the exhaust horizontal pipe. The other two ports of the three-way valve are connected to the exhaust pipe and the exhaust pipe, respectively.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an air-cooled unit that can be used in both winter and summer, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] When using this air cooler unit that can be switched between winter and summer, in winter, first close the bypass valves on both the intake horizontal pipe and the exhaust horizontal pipe, open the bypass valve on exhaust pipe one, and the high-temperature gas enters the air cooler body from intake pipe one for cooling. Then the gas is discharged from exhaust pipe two, exhaust pipe one and exhaust pipe two.

[0014] During summer use, the bypass valves on both the intake and exhaust horizontal pipes are open, while the bypass valve on exhaust pipe one is closed. High-temperature gas enters the air cooler body from intake pipe one for cooling, and then the gas enters the water cooler from exhaust pipe two and the intake horizontal pipe. The chiller unit is running, and chilled water enters the water cooler from outlet pipe one. The chilled water and hot gas exchange heat in the water cooler. After absorbing heat, the chilled water flows back to the chiller unit for cooling through inlet pipe two, while the cooled gas is discharged through the exhaust horizontal pipe and exhaust pipe two. This process ultimately achieves the goal of switching between winter and summer use of the air cooler without interference. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Please see Figure 1An air-cooled unit for use in both winter and summer includes an air-cooled unit 1, a water cooler 2, and a chiller unit 3. The chiller unit 3 provides circulating chilled water to the water cooler 2. The water cooler 2 exchanges heat with the hot air in the air-cooled unit 1. A water outlet pipe 4 is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the chiller unit 3. The drain end of the water outlet pipe 4 is connected to the water inlet end of the water cooler 2. The water inlet end of the air-cooled unit 1 is connected to one end of a water inlet pipe 5, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the drain end of the water cooler 2.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 The air cooler body 1 has an inlet end connected to an inlet pipe 6, and an exhaust end connected to an outlet pipe 7. The exhaust end of the outlet pipe 7 is connected to an exhaust pipe 9 via a four-way valve 8. The water cooler 2 has an inlet end connected to a four-way valve 8 via an inlet horizontal pipe 10, and an exhaust end connected to a three-way valve 12 via an exhaust horizontal pipe 11. The other two ports of the three-way valve 12 are connected to an exhaust pipe 9 and an exhaust pipe 13, respectively.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 Temperature sensors 14 and pressure sensors 15 are embedded inside the outlet pipe 4, inlet pipe 5, air inlet pipe 6, air outlet pipe 7, air inlet horizontal pipe 10, exhaust horizontal pipe 11, and exhaust pipe 13, respectively, to detect the temperature and pressure in the pipes. The middle sections of outlet pipe 4, inlet pipe 5, exhaust pipe 9, air inlet horizontal pipe 10, and exhaust horizontal pipe 11 are all provided with loop pipes 16, and bypass valves 17 are fixedly installed on the middle sections of the long sides on both sides of the loop pipes 16, so that if one of the pipes is overloaded and broken, the other bypass valve 17 can be opened for recycling.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The air cooler body 1, water cooler 2, chiller unit 3, temperature sensor 14 and pressure sensor 15 are all connected to a PLC controller; the devices mentioned above are all references to existing technologies, and this application will not elaborate on them in detail. When using them, the preferred option can be selected under the premise of meeting the driving conditions.

[0022] Working principle: When using in winter, first close the bypass valves 17 on the intake horizontal pipe 10 and the exhaust horizontal pipe 11, and open the bypass valve 17 on the exhaust pipe 9. The high temperature gas enters the air cooler body 1 from the intake pipe 6 to be cooled, and then the gas is discharged from the outlet pipe 7, the exhaust pipe 9 and the exhaust pipe 13.

[0023] During summer use, the bypass valves 17 on both the intake horizontal pipe 10 and the exhaust horizontal pipe 11 are open, while the bypass valve 17 on the exhaust pipe 9 is closed. High-temperature gas enters the air cooler body 1 from the intake pipe 6 for cooling. Then, the gas enters the water cooler 2 from the exhaust pipe 7 and the intake horizontal pipe 10. The chiller unit 3 is running, and chilled water enters the water cooler 2 from the water outlet pipe 4. The chilled water and hot gas exchange heat in the water cooler 2. After absorbing heat, the chilled water flows back to the chiller unit 3 for cooling through the water inlet pipe 5. The cooled gas is then discharged through the exhaust horizontal pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 13. This process ultimately achieves the goal of switching between winter and summer use of the air cooler without interference.
