The invention relates to an integrated double-cooling (evaporative condensation/natural cooling) water chilling unit which has different operation modes, and the specific implementation modes are as follows:
1) Compression refrigeration mode: in this mode, chilled water in the circulating water system enters the unit through the air conditioning system water return loop 15, then enters through the a of the electric three-way valve 14, then enters the evaporator 4 through the c port, is cooled, and enters the air conditioning system water supply pipeline 16 to provide a cold source for the tail end equipment of the air conditioning system, and the chilled water enters the main machine section through the air conditioning system water return loop 15 again after absorbing indoor heat, so that the circulating is repeated. The refrigerant side of the evaporator 4 works by adopting a compression refrigeration system, the refrigerant in the evaporator 4 absorbs the heat of chilled water in the circulating water system and is vaporized into low-temperature low-pressure steam, the compressor 1 sucks the refrigerant steam, and the refrigerant steam is changed into high-temperature high-pressure steam after compression. The high temperature and high pressure refrigerant vapor enters the evaporative condenser 2. The spray water pump 5 sucks the water in the circulating water tank 6 into the spray water distribution device 7, and the spray water distribution device 7 sprays spray water. The refrigerant steam entering the evaporative condenser 2 gives off heat, and spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 7 takes away heat to condense the refrigerant steam into high-pressure low-temperature liquid. The condensed high-pressure low-temperature refrigerant liquid is throttled by the throttle mechanism 3 and then becomes low-pressure low-temperature liquid, the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator 4 and absorbs heat and evaporates again, and the circulation is performed in this way, so that the cooling process of the chilled water in the evaporator 4 is realized. In addition, spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 7 in the circulation process flows through the lower layer evaporation condenser 2 and the natural cooler 12 after passing through the evaporation condenser 2 and being cooled by the natural cooler 12, and falls into the circulation water tank 6 for circulation use. The natural cooler 12 may exchange heat between the shower water with the waste heat and the air, transferring the waste heat to the air and dispersing it into the atmosphere. In addition, the natural cooling circuit is in a closed state at this time. The compression refrigeration system has the advantages that the heat exchange is more direct, so that the condensation temperature is lower, and the energy efficiency of compression refrigeration is higher.
2) Combined cooling mode: in this mode, chilled water of the circulating water system enters the unit through the air conditioning system water return loop 15, then the chilled water is pre-cooled through the plate heat exchanger 13, then enters the electric three-way valve 14 through the port b, exits through the port c, enters the evaporator 4 for cooling again, enters the air conditioning system water supply pipeline 16, provides a cold source for the tail end equipment of the air conditioning system, and enters the main machine section through the air conditioning system water return loop 15 after absorbing indoor heat, thus repeatedly circulating. The refrigerant side of the evaporator 4 works by adopting a compression refrigeration system, the refrigerant in the evaporator 4 absorbs the heat of chilled water in the circulating water system and is vaporized into low-temperature low-pressure steam, the compressor 1 sucks the refrigerant steam, and the refrigerant steam is changed into high-temperature high-pressure steam after compression. The high temperature and high pressure refrigerant vapor enters the evaporative condenser 2. The spray water pump 5 sucks the water in the circulating water tank 6 into the spray water distribution device 7, and the spray water distribution device 7 sprays spray water. The refrigerant steam entering the evaporative condenser 2 gives off heat, and spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 7 takes away heat to condense the refrigerant steam into high-pressure low-temperature liquid. The condensed high-pressure low-temperature refrigerant liquid is throttled by the throttle mechanism 3 and then becomes low-pressure low-temperature liquid, the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator 4 and absorbs heat and evaporates again, and the circulation is performed in this way, so that the cooling process of the chilled water in the evaporator 4 is realized. In addition, spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 7 in the circulation process flows through the lower layer evaporation condenser 2 and the natural cooler 12 after passing through the evaporation condenser 2 and being cooled by the natural cooler 12, and falls into the circulation water tank 6 for circulation use. In addition, at this time, the natural cooling circuit is also in an operating state, the cooling water in the plate heat exchanger 13 absorbs heat in the chilled water, and is sucked by the cooling circulation water pump 11, and the cooling water enters the natural cooler 12 with the aid of the cooling circulation water pump 11. The spray water pump 5 sucks the water in the circulating water tank 6 into the spray water distribution device 7, and the spray water distribution device 7 sprays spray water. The cooling water entering the natural cooler 12 gives off heat, and the spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 7 takes away heat to cool the cooling water. Cooling water after cooling is fed into the plate heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat in the chilled water circulating water loop, and the chilled water is circulated. The cooling process of the chilled water in the plate heat exchanger 13 is achieved. Since a large amount of heat is borne by the natural cooling loop system in this mode, the power consumption of the unit in this mode is greatly reduced.
3) Full natural cooling mode: in this mode, chilled water of the circulating water system enters the unit through the air conditioning system water return loop 15, then the chilled water is cooled through the plate heat exchanger 13, then the cooled chilled water sequentially passes through the port b and the port c of the electric three-way valve 14 and the evaporator 4, and the cooled chilled water provides a cold source for the tail end equipment of the air conditioning system through the air conditioning system water supply pipeline 16, and enters the main machine section through the air conditioning system water return loop 15 after absorbing indoor heat, so that the chilled water is circulated repeatedly. At this time, the compression refrigeration system stops working, and the natural cooling circuit is in a working state. The cooling water in the plate heat exchanger 13 absorbs heat in the chilled water, is sucked by the cooling circulation water pump 11, and enters the natural cooler 12 with the aid of the cooling circulation water pump 11. The spray water pump 5 sucks the water in the circulating water tank 6 into the spray water distribution device 7, and the spray water distribution device 7 sprays spray water. The cooling water entering the natural cooler 12 gives off heat, and the spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 7 takes away heat to cool the cooling water. Cooling water after cooling is fed into the plate heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat in the chilled water circulating water loop, and the chilled water is circulated. The cooling process of the chilled water in the plate heat exchanger 13 is achieved. In addition, spray water sprayed by the spray water distribution device 2 in the circulation process is cooled by the evaporation condenser 2 and then passes through the natural cooler 12, flows through the lower layer evaporation condenser 2 and the natural cooler 12, and falls into the circulation water tank 6 for circulation use. The evaporative condenser 2 may exchange heat with the air from the shower water carrying the waste heat, so that the waste heat is transferred to the air and dissipated to the atmosphere. Because the whole heat is completely borne by the natural cooling loop system in the mode, the power consumption of the whole system is lower, and the energy efficiency of the unit is higher.
In addition, in the working process of the three working modes, the heat exhausting fan 9 can accelerate air flow, and heat in the refrigerant, the cooling water and the spray water can be taken away rapidly through the air, so that the heat radiating efficiency is improved.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a dual-cold-source water chiller based on an indirect evaporative cooling technology according to the present invention. In the second embodiment, the plate heat exchanger 13 and the cooling water circulation pump 11 are omitted. A cooling water loop is formed among the electric three-way valve 14, the air conditioning system backwater loop 15 and the natural cooler 12. Specifically, the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the water outlet of the air conditioning system water return loop 15 is connected to the natural cooler 12, and the natural cooler 1 is connected to the electric three-way valve 14.
The present invention has the advantages of the first embodiment: because the heat exchange links between the natural cooling loop and the chilled water circulating water loop are reduced, the heat exchange of the system is more direct, and the annual running time and energy efficiency of the combined refrigeration mode and the complete natural cooling mode are greatly improved.
