Based on the problems that the prior machine room air conditioning system cannot ensure the normal operation of the prior machine room air conditioning system under the ultralow temperature environment and is inconvenient for the installation and the arrangement of the machine room air conditioning system, the invention provides the machine room air conditioning system, aiming at ensuring that the machine room air conditioning system can normally work under the low temperature environment or the ultralow temperature environment, and improving the piping length of the machine room air conditioning system and widening the height drop limit to a certain extent, so that the machine room air conditioning system can meet the installation requirements of various building forms.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the air conditioning system of the machine room of the present invention includes a compressor 1, a condenser 3, a reservoir 4, an electronic expansion valve 8 and an evaporator 9, the condenser 3, the reservoir 4, the electronic expansion valve 8, the evaporator 9 and the compressor 1 form a closed loop main circulation path, a one-way valve 2 is disposed on the downstream side of the compressor 1, and the pressure boost assembly of the present invention can assist the compressor 1 to boost the pressure of the refrigerant in a manner of being connected to the main circulation path, and can replace the function of the compressor 1 when the air conditioning system of the machine room is in energy-saving operation. Wherein, pressure boost subassembly can adopt pressure boost circulating pump 5 and solenoid valve matched with structure, also perhaps adopts the structure of booster, again or adopt other pressure boost structures, and the technical personnel in the field can set up pressure boost subassembly's concrete structure in practical application in a flexible way, as long as can be with the mode that inserts the main road of circulation auxiliary compressor 1 through pressure boost subassembly and promote refrigerant pressure to and replace compressor 1's function when the energy-conserving operation of machine room air conditioning system can. In addition, the pressurizing assembly can be arranged between the liquid storage device 4 and the electronic expansion valve 8, and can also be arranged between the condenser 3 and the liquid storage device 4, and a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific setting position of the pressurizing assembly in practical application, as long as the pressure of the refrigerant can be increased through the pressurizing assembly, and the function of the compressor 1 can be replaced when the machine room air conditioning system is in energy-saving operation.
Preferably, the supercharging assembly comprises a supercharging circulating pump 5 and a first electromagnetic valve 6 which are arranged in parallel, the supercharging circulating pump 5 and the first electromagnetic valve 6 are arranged on the circulating main path together, and the first electromagnetic valve 6 can control the supercharging circulating pump 5 to be selectively connected into the circulating main path. As shown in fig. 1, when the first electromagnetic valve 6 is opened, the pressure boost circulation pump 5 cannot be connected to the main circulation path, the first electromagnetic valve 6 is closed, and the pressure boost circulation pump 5 is connected to the main circulation path.
Preferably, the root cause of the low-pressure or other alarm failure of the low-temperature refrigeration system to cause the abnormal operation of the air conditioning system in the machine room is that the pressure difference between the upstream side and the downstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is insufficient, that is, the pressure difference is caused by the abnormal throttling circulation of the refrigerant in the air conditioning system in the machine room, therefore, the upstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is provided with a pressure sensor 12, and the pressure sensor 12 is used for detecting the upstream side pressure of the electronic expansion valve 8. The pressure sensor 12 can detect the upstream side pressure of the electronic expansion valve 8, so as to indirectly judge the pressure difference between the upstream side and the downstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8, and the booster circulating pump 5 is connected to the main circulating path under the condition that the upstream side pressure of the electronic expansion valve 8 is less than the set pressure threshold value; when the upstream pressure of the electronic expansion valve 8 is greater than or equal to the set pressure threshold, the booster circulation pump 5 is not connected to the main circulation path.
Further preferably, a second solenoid valve 7 is disposed on the main circulation path in parallel with the electronic expansion valve 8, and the second solenoid valve 7 can control the electronic expansion valve 8 to selectively switch in the main circulation path. As shown in fig. 1, the electronic expansion valve 8 and the pressure sensor 12 are arranged in series and are connected in parallel with the second solenoid valve 7, when the second solenoid valve 7 is opened, the electronic expansion valve 8 is not connected to the main circulation path, and when the second solenoid valve 7 is closed, the electronic expansion valve 8 is connected to the main circulation path.
Further preferably, a third solenoid valve 10 and a fourth solenoid valve 11 are provided on the circulation main path, and the third solenoid valve 10 is provided in series with the compressor 1 and is provided in parallel with the fourth solenoid valve 11. As shown in fig. 1, when the third solenoid valve 10 is open and the fourth solenoid valve 11 is closed, the compressor 1 is switched into the main circuit of the cycle; when the third solenoid valve 10 is closed and the fourth solenoid valve 11 is open, the compressor 1 is taken out of the main circuit of the cycle.
The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by combining the specific implementation working conditions of the machine room air conditioning system under three modes of normal refrigeration operation, ultralow temperature refrigeration operation and energy-saving operation.
As shown in fig. 2, when the pressure sensor 12 detects that the pressure Pd at the upstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is greater than or equal to Pd0+ Δ P, it indicates that the pressure difference between the upstream side and the downstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is sufficient, the air conditioning system in the machine room enters a normal cooling operation state, i.e. the booster circulation pump 5 does not need to be connected to the main circulation path, at this time, the first electromagnetic valve 6 and the third electromagnetic valve 10 are opened, the second electromagnetic valve 7 and the fourth electromagnetic valve 11 are closed, the compressor 1 starts a normal cooling operation, and the outdoor fan operates at a speed-controlled speed according to the pressure value Pd detected by the pressure sensor 12.
As shown in fig. 3, when the pressure sensor 12 detects that the upstream side pressure Pd of the electronic expansion valve 8 is less than Pd0- Δ P, it indicates that the pressure difference between the upstream side and the downstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is insufficient, the machine room air conditioning system cannot enter a normal cooling operation state, that is, the booster circulation pump 5 needs to be connected to the main circulation path, at this time, the first electromagnetic valve 6, the second electromagnetic valve 7, and the fourth electromagnetic valve 11 are closed, the third electromagnetic valve 10 is opened, the booster circulation pump 5 and the compressor 1 are simultaneously opened, and the refrigerant pressure on the upstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is raised by the booster circulation pump 5 until the machine room air conditioning system can stably operate within an allowable range, so that the unit can stably and reliably operate in an ultra-low temperature environment.
As shown in fig. 4, when the electronic device in the machine room is in a low-load operation state, for example, when the electronic device is in a night or other low-frequency use time period, the heating value corresponding to the electronic device is reduced, and accordingly the cooling capacity of the machine room for cooling the air conditioner is reduced, under the condition of the operation, the air conditioning system of the machine room of the present invention can operate in an energy-saving mode, so as to reduce the PUE of the machine room and save the operation cost of the machine room, at this time, the indoor ambient temperature Tn and the outdoor ambient temperature Tw need to be detected, when Tn-Tw is greater than or equal to Δ T, the air conditioning system of the machine room can enter the energy-saving operation mode, at this time, the first electromagnetic valve 6 and the third electromagnetic valve 10 are closed, the second electromagnetic valve 7 and the fourth electromagnetic valve 11 are opened, so as to close the compressor 1 and exit the circulation main path, and then the booster circulation pump 5 is independently opened to provide the refrigerant circulation power in the air conditioning system of the machine room, then natural cooling circulation refrigeration is carried out by utilizing the indoor and outdoor temperature difference. In practical application, a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of Δ T, and only needs to determine whether the machine room air conditioning system can enter the energy-saving operation mode through setting Δ T.
In the present invention, PUE is a short hand for Power Usage efficiency, which is an index for evaluating energy efficiency of a data center, is a ratio of all energy consumed by the data center to energy used by IT loads, and has become a measure for internationally comparing Power Usage efficiency of the popular data center, and the PUE value is closer to 1, which indicates that the degree of greening of a data center is higher.
It should be noted that the Pd0 may be a preset pressure value, Δ P may be a threshold value, and when Δ P is equal to 0, Pd0 may be used as a boundary point for determining whether the differential pressure on the upstream and downstream sides of the electronic expansion valve 8 is sufficient, and when Δ P is not equal to 0, two values, Pd0+ Δ P and Pd0- Δ P, may be used as a boundary point for determining whether the differential pressure on the upstream and downstream sides of the electronic expansion valve 8 is sufficient. That is, the set pressure threshold may be a single value or two values, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set the set pressure threshold in practical applications as long as whether the pressure difference between the upstream side and the downstream side of the electronic expansion valve 8 is sufficient can be determined by the set pressure threshold, and the adjustment and the change of the set pressure threshold are not departing from the principle and the scope of the present invention, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
