Background
At present, an air-cooled water chiller is generally adopted as a cold source to provide chilled water for the indoor tail end of air conditioning equipment in a communication machine room, particularly a large-scale data center, so that the indoor environment of the communication machine room is cooled. Because the communication equipment in the communication machine room basically operates uninterruptedly all the year round and has very large heat productivity, the air-cooled water chiller used for the communication machine room generally needs annual refrigeration operation, has large operation energy consumption and low seasonal energy efficiency ratio.
Moreover, the air-cooled water chiller still needs to start the compressor to work in cold winter, when the outdoor environment is too low, the problem of insufficient liquid supply caused by too low condensing pressure is easy to occur to the compressor, and the heat load of the communication machine room at the moment is small, so that the compressor is frequently started and stopped, and the condition not only causes high energy consumption, but also reduces the service life of the compressor. Therefore, the reliability of the air-cooled water chiller has been difficult to solve.
Even if a condensation pressure control system is configured and the condenser is designed to be controlled in multiple stages, when the air-cooled water chiller runs at the outdoor and ambient temperatures below zero for a long time, the hidden danger is still high, and the system cost and the control difficulty are increased.
Application number CN201210205485.9 discloses a closed cooling tower refrigerating system applied to an IDC machine room and a refrigerating method thereof. The system comprises a closed cooling tower, a water-cooling refrigerating unit, a cold water tank, a freezing water pump, a cooling water pump, an IDC machine room end device, an embedded control system, a water-cooling refrigerating unit return water temperature sensor, a closed cooling tower return water temperature sensor and a closed cooling tower air inlet dry-wet ball temperature sensor. The refrigeration method of the patent application is operated under the dry working condition of the closed cooling tower in winter, so that the water-cooled refrigeration unit is prevented from being started, energy is saved, and freezing is prevented; the closed cooling tower runs under the wet working condition in transition seasons, so that the water-cooling refrigerating unit is prevented from being started, and energy is saved; the closed cooling tower operates under a wet working condition at night in summer, so that the water-cooled refrigerating unit is prevented from being started, and energy is saved; starting a water-cooling refrigerating unit in the daytime in summer; the running time of the water-cooling refrigerating unit is delayed by utilizing the energy storage of the cold water tank; and in the water outage period, the normal operation of the IDC machine room air conditioning system is ensured by utilizing the water storage function of the cold water tank. Such a control method is suitable for areas with mild climate and no water shortage. However, in northern areas, because the lowest temperature is-20 to-30 ℃ at night in winter, and even lower temperature occurs in extreme weather, a water cooling mode is adopted, the cooling tower needs to consider anti-freezing measures, the anti-freezing effect is general and not ideal, so that high-concentration anti-freezing solution needs to be added into circulating water of the cooling tower and pipelines, the investment is increased, and the pipelines and equipment are corroded.
Disclosure of Invention

In addition, the application also provides a control method of the natural cooling evaporation type condensation water chiller based on the fluorine pump.
In order to solve the technical problem, the invention adopts the following scheme:
a fluorine pump natural cooling evaporation type condensation water chiller comprises a mechanical refrigeration system consisting of a compressor, a condenser (preferably an evaporation type condenser), a restrictor and an evaporator, and further comprises a secondary circulation system which exchanges heat with the evaporator, wherein the secondary circulation system is provided with a natural cooling system which can control the flow direction of a refrigerant in the secondary circulation system to exchange heat with the refrigerant (the refrigerant is also called snow and a refrigerant and is used for transferring heat energy and generating a refrigeration effect, and the refrigerant in the secondary circulation system can be water); the mechanical refrigeration system also comprises a fluorine pump arranged in the pipeline, the fluorine pump is connected with a fluorine pump bypass electromagnetic valve in parallel, the throttler is connected with a throttler bypass electromagnetic valve in parallel, and the compressor is connected with a compressor bypass electromagnetic valve in parallel; the mechanical refrigeration system, the secondary circulation system and the natural cooling system are electrically connected with a controller, and the controller controls the operation of each system (the controller controls the operation of each system of the water chiller, namely the operation of each component in each system).
The controller can control whether the refrigerant in the secondary circulation system flows to the natural cooling system, the natural cooling system obtains the cold energy of the surrounding environment to exchange heat with the refrigerant in the secondary circulation system, the mechanical refrigeration system can be closed in some seasons (such as winter), and the natural cooling system is independently utilized to obtain the cold energy. When the independent refrigeration of the natural cooling system can not meet the requirements of the machine room, the combination of the mechanical refrigeration system and the natural cooling system can be utilized to form mixed refrigeration. Especially, under the condition that the compressor cannot be completely stopped, the refrigerating capacity caused by the operation of the fluorine pump can make up for the refrigerating capacity loss caused by the power reduction of the compressor. Because the power of the compressor is greatly higher than that of the fluorine pump, the energy consumption of the mechanical refrigeration system is greatly reduced by combining the compressor and the fluorine pump. Mechanical refrigeration system and natural cooling system move alone respectively, do not influence each other, both can utilize natural cooling system alone to obtain cold volume, also can move mechanical refrigeration system alone and refrigerate, can also synthesize both and mix the refrigeration, and the holistic refrigeration efficiency of reinforcing adapts to different season demands.
