Fig. 5 is a refrigeration mode switching operation diagram of the system after the new gravity heat pipe heat exchanger is designed, which helps further understand the switching process of the dual-mode operation of the integrated cabinet air-conditioning system after the new gravity heat pipe heat exchanger is designed.
The invention can carry out switching control between the mechanical refrigeration mode and the heat pipe refrigeration mode according to different temperature working conditions, adopts mechanical refrigeration when the temperature is very high (at the moment, the refrigeration effect of the heat pipe exchanger is poor), can adopt two modes to combine at the medium temperature working condition, closes the compressor under the low temperature working condition, and only adopts the heat pipe exchanger for refrigeration, thereby effectively improving the energy efficiency and reducing the power consumption. The integrated cabinet air conditioner with the newly-added gravity heat pipe heat exchanger well solves the problem that the cabinet air conditioner can consume too much energy in the process of running all the year round. In the working process, when the external environment temperature is higher than 20 ℃, the system feeds back the temperature information to the main control unit, the cabinet air conditioning system only starts a mechanical refrigeration mode, namely, the heat pipe heat exchanger system does not work, and the compressor is started. Under the combined action of a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve and the like, the system provides the cold energy required by the cabinet equipment; when the external environment temperature is more than or equal to minus 5 ℃ and less than or equal to 20 ℃, the system feeds back the temperature information to the main control unit, at the moment, the cabinet air conditioning system simultaneously starts the mechanical refrigeration mode and the heat pipe heat exchanger refrigeration mode, and the main control unit reduces the frequency of the compressor, namely, the compressor runs in a low-frequency state. In the operation process of the double systems, firstly, under a mechanical refrigeration mode, the compressor is in a low-frequency state and is under the combined action of the evaporator, the condenser, the electronic expansion valve and the like, and the systems provide the cold energy required by the cabinet equipment. Secondly, the heat pipe heat exchanger also participates in refrigeration, liquid working medium in an evaporation section of the heat pipe heat exchanger absorbs heat in indoor return air to evaporate, the indoor return air after heat exchange is conveyed indoors to the cabinet to dissipate heat under the action of an inner fan, vaporized working medium reaches a condensation section of the heat pipe heat exchanger under the action of pressure, and in the condensation section, gas working medium in the heat pipe exchanges heat with fresh air conveyed outdoors to be cooled into liquid working medium to return to the evaporation section of the heat pipe heat exchanger. In the process, the heat dissipation fins on the condensation section accelerate the heat dissipation of the working medium, namely accelerate the heat exchange between the condensation section and outdoor fresh air, and meanwhile, the heat dissipation fins on the evaporation section also accelerate the heat exchange between the evaporation section and indoor return air, so that the refrigeration efficiency of the heat pipe exchanger is improved; when the external temperature is less than or equal to minus 5 ℃, the system feeds back the temperature information to the main control unit, and at the moment, the cabinet air-conditioning system stops the mechanical refrigeration mode and only starts the refrigeration mode of the heat pipe heat exchanger and the internal and external fans. When in refrigeration operation, return air in the cabinet exchanges heat with the evaporation section of the heat exchanger, cold air after heat exchange is conveyed into the cabinet again to dissipate heat of equipment, working medium in the evaporation section is heated and evaporated and then reaches the condensation section, at the moment, outdoor fresh air is introduced into the outer fan to exchange heat with the condensation section of the heat pipe, the working medium after heat dissipation is condensed into liquid working medium and returns to the evaporation section again, hot air after heat exchange is discharged to the outdoor through the outer fan, and cold air is introduced into the cabinet through the inner fan. The heat pipe heat exchanger repeats the working process so as to provide the required cold quantity for the cabinet.
The integrated cabinet air conditioner provided by the invention utilizes a dual-system operation mode in different time periods, not only provides required cooling capacity for the cabinet, but also reduces the energy consumption of the cabinet air conditioner, and achieves the purpose of energy-saving operation.
