When the fan is working, it accelerates the gas flow inside the cabinet and improves heat exchange efficiency.

[0029] In battery pack and refrigerator heating mode: the compressor does not work, the electric heater, battery pack and refrigerator work, the four-way water valve ports one and four are open, the first and three-way water valve ports one and two are open, the battery water pump extracts the heat medium heated by the electric heater in the battery cooler, and the heat medium completes the heat medium circulation through the refrigerator's own cold storage heat exchanger, battery pack and electric heater.

[0032] In the refrigerator's cooling and battery pack non-working mode: the compressor and refrigerator are working, the electric heater is not working, the four-way water valve's ports one and four are open, the first and three-way water valve's ports one and three are open, the battery water pump draws out the refrigerant that has been cooled by the compressor from the battery cooler, and the refrigerant completes the refrigerant circulation through the refrigerator's built-in cold storage heat exchanger, empty pipe one, and electric heater.

[0033] In the refrigerator's heating and battery pack non-working mode: the compressor does not work, the electric heater and refrigerator work, the four-way water valve's ports one and four are open, the first and three-way water valves' ports one and three are open, the battery water pump extracts the heat medium heated by the electric heater in the battery cooler, and the heat medium completes the heat medium circulation through the refrigerator's own cold storage heat exchanger, empty pipe one and the electric heater.

[0034] In the refrigerator's cooling mode under low-temperature conditions: the compressor and electric heater are not working. All four ports of the four-way water valve are open. Ports one and three of the first three-way water valve are open. Ports one and three of the second three-way water valve are open.
