Specifically, the air conditioning unit is a machine room air conditioning unit, and the air conditioning unit can be understood as an air conditioner. By adopting the air conditioning unit, as the plurality of heat exchange modules 10 are arranged, and the surface coolers 11 in each heat exchange module 10 are internally provided with the first fans 12, different positions of the surface coolers 11 can be supplied with air through the plurality of fans in the air supply direction, and the difference between the distances between the different positions of the surface coolers 11 and the fans is smaller, so that the difference between the wind speeds of the different positions of the surface coolers 11 in the air conditioning unit is smaller, and the uniformity of the air flow in the air conditioning unit is improved. Compared with the air conditioner set with the fan arranged at a certain position, the air conditioner set with the fan arranged at the certain position has the advantages that the situation that the air speed is greatly different due to the fact that the distance between different positions of the surface air cooler 11 and the fan is greatly different is avoided, the optimal heat exchange performance of the whole air conditioner set is conveniently exerted, and the energy efficiency is improved. Moreover, by adopting a modularized structure, a proper number of heat exchange modules 10 can be selected for assembly according to power and heat exchange requirements, and the assembly is flexible and convenient.

Because each module is specially provided with an axial flow fan, the module is only responsible for air flow organization adjustment and air quantity and heat exchange control in the module, has a self-adjusting function, and is not interfered or has little interference by other modules. After the modules are assembled, the air flow forms a series structure.
By using the air conditioning unit, the air conditioning unit is separated and modularized, each module is responsible for adjusting air flow by one axial flow fan, so that regional treatment of the air flow is realized, and the air flow is pumped out by the centrifugal fan after being connected in series by a plurality of modules. The improved unit realizes uniform and controllable pressure distribution, and the longitudinal head-on wind speed of the surface cooler is relatively uniform, thereby being beneficial to realizing the limit performance of the surface cooler.
In the air conditioning unit, the surface cooler is convenient to install, the modules can be increased or decreased at will according to different required cold energy, the maintenance and the replacement are simple, and the interchangeability is high.
