Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory and industrial temperature control equipment, and in particular to an air-cooled constant temperature, constant pressure and constant flow chiller. Background Technology
[0002] A chiller is a cooling water device that provides constant temperature and pressure. Generally, a certain amount of water is first added to the chiller, and then the refrigeration system in the chiller cools the water. The cooled water is then delivered to the equipment that needs to use it. After the cooled water is used, its temperature rises, and then it is circulated back into the chiller for cooling, forming a cooling cycle.
[0003] However, traditional air-cooled chillers have poor temperature control accuracy and cannot meet the needs of long-term temperature stability applications. Flow and pressure are separated, and currently commonly used chillers can only meet one of the constant control requirements, either flow or pressure, and cannot meet both simultaneously. Flow fluctuates greatly, and there is a lack of constant pressure supply, resulting in fluctuating flow rates. Therefore, they cannot meet the differentiated flow requirements of complex molds, affecting the product molding quality. Furthermore, existing chillers have poor temperature control accuracy, lack integrated design, and separate constant pressure, constant flow, and constant temperature functions, resulting in limited functionality.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for engineers in this field to develop a feature-rich, highly integrated air-cooled constant temperature, constant pressure, and constant flow chiller with high temperature control accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

The intelligent control module simultaneously receives detection signals from the temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and flow meter. When the pressure fluctuation exceeds ±0.1 bar, the intelligent control module is configured to prioritize constant pressure regulation. The control logic of the constant pressure and constant flow module includes a pressure priority mode. When the pressure fluctuation exceeds 10% of the set value, the flow regulation process is automatically interrupted.

[0013] In the above structure, a return water pipeline is provided between the fourth pipeline and the fifth pipeline. The return water proportional valve is installed on the return water pipeline. The outlet of the external circulation pump is connected to the inlet of the return water proportional valve.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model:
[0039] During the operation of the chiller of this utility model, the constant temperature module operates in a cyclical manner: the compressor 6 runs, and the condenser 15 and fan run to dissipate heat from the compressor 6. In the entire refrigeration system, the dryer filter 16, the hot gas solenoid valve 1, the first throttling device 7 (capillary tube), the liquid injection valve 8, the liquid pipe solenoid valve 2, the second throttling device 17, the water tank 3, and the coil evaporator 4 constitute a refrigeration system pipeline. By switching the hot gas solenoid valve 1 and the liquid pipe solenoid valve 2 through PID regulation, the refrigeration system can achieve an adjustable cooling capacity. At the same time, the heater 5 provides auxiliary heating to control the liquid temperature inside the water tank 3. The temperature sensor 11 detects the temperature. The internal circulation pump 14 draws liquid from inside the water tank 3 and returns it to the water tank 3 through the return pipe. Through circulation, the liquid temperature inside the water tank 3 is made uniform to achieve the temperature control effect. During high-temperature operation, the liquid injection valve 8 opens intermittently to cool the compressor 6.
[0040] The constant pressure module operates as follows: the external circulation pump 19 runs, the pressure sensor 12 detects the pressure, and the bypass proportional valve 9 and the return water proportional valve 10 are given an initial opening value through a stepping algorithm. Then, the opening of the bypass proportional valve 9 is adjusted so that the pressure stabilizes at the target pressure within 2 minutes.
[0041] Constant flow module operation process: After the constant pressure stabilizes, the flow meter 13 detects the flow rate and adjusts the opening of the return water proportional valve 10 to stabilize the flow rate at the target flow rate within 2 minutes. If the pressure exceeds the target allowable range during the adjustment of the opening of the return water proportional valve 10, the adjustment of the return water proportional valve 10 is paused, and the constant pressure system operation process is resumed until the pressure is constant, and then the flow rate is adjusted to be constant.
[0042] This utility model is a chiller that integrates air cooling, automatic temperature control, constant water pressure, and constant water flow, and is suitable for high-precision industrial scenarios such as semiconductor aging and testing, and automotive parts manufacturing.
