In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a battery thermal management system with a dehumidification function, which is used for cooling, heating or dehumidifying an energy storage battery, as shown in fig. 1, the battery thermal management system with a dehumidification function includes a compressor 10, a first heat exchanger 20, a second heat exchanger 30, a cooling tower 40, a third heat exchanger 50, a fourth heat exchanger 60 and an air driving unit 70; the compressor 10 has a refrigerant inlet 101 and a refrigerant outlet 102; the first heat exchanger 20 has a first port 201, a second port 202, a third port 203, and a fourth port 204; the second heat exchanger 30 has a fifth circulation port 301 and a sixth circulation port 302; wherein the second circulation port 202 and the sixth circulation port 302 are connected, and the refrigerant outlet 102 has a first state and a second state which are switchable; wherein, in the first state, the refrigerant outlet 102 is connected to the first circulation port 201, and the fifth circulation port 301 is connected to the refrigerant inlet 101; in the second state, the refrigerant outlet 102 is connected to the fifth circulation port 301, and the first circulation port 201 is connected to the refrigerant inlet 101; the cooling tower 40 has a cooling water inlet 401 and a cooling water outlet 402, the cooling water inlet 401 is connected to the third circulation port 203, and the cooling water outlet 402 is connected to the fourth circulation port 204; the third heat exchanger 50 is arranged in parallel with the second heat exchanger 30 between the second circulation port 202 and the compressor 10; the fourth heat exchanger 60 is arranged between the cooling water inlet 401 and the cooling water outlet 402 in parallel with the cooling tower 40; in the first state, the air driving unit 70 is configured to drive the air to be dehumidified to sequentially pass through the third heat exchanger 50 and the fourth heat exchanger 60, and in the second state, the air driving unit 70 is configured to drive the air to be dehumidified to sequentially pass through the fourth heat exchanger 60 and the third heat exchanger 50.
The battery thermal management system with the dehumidification function provided by the invention integrates the triple functions of cooling, heating and dehumidification, realizes the cooling, heating and dehumidification treatment of the energy storage battery by using one set of system, reduces the number of parts, reduces the cost of the whole set of system, increases the energy utilization efficiency, and can effectively reduce the floor area of equipment. Meanwhile, the energy storage battery thermal management system utilizes the refrigerant to perform high-efficiency heat exchange with the battery water of the energy storage battery, so that the heat exchange efficiency is higher.
The operation states of the components in the cooling, heating and dehumidifying processes are specifically analyzed as follows:
cooling process and dehumidification process: the refrigerant outlet 102 is switched to the first state, at this time, the refrigerant is compressed to a high-temperature high-pressure gaseous state by the compressor 10, enters the first heat exchanger 20 through the first circulation port 201, exchanges heat with the cooling water from the cooling tower 40, and the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat and then is converted into a low-temperature condensed liquid state. Then, the low-temperature liquid refrigerant enters the second heat exchanger 30 through the second circulation port 202 and the sixth circulation port 302, and exchanges heat with water from the battery pack of the energy storage battery, so that the energy storage battery is cooled. The refrigerant absorbs heat again by heat exchange, and then exits from the fifth flow port 301 to return to the compressor. Meanwhile, since the third heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 30 are disposed in parallel between the second circulation port 202 and the compressor 10, a part of the low-temperature liquid refrigerant flowing out through the second circulation port 202 enters the third heat exchanger 50, and the third heat exchanger 50 at this time is equivalent to a dehumidification evaporator. Under the driving action of the air driving unit 70, the dehumidified air in the energy storage battery container contacts with the third heat exchanger 50, and the carried moisture is condensed and separated out under the heat absorption action of the refrigerant, so that the dehumidification effect is achieved. Then, the dehumidified air continues to contact with the fourth heat exchanger 60, and since the cooling water absorbs heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 20, the cooling water after absorbing heat enters the fourth heat exchanger 60 to be converted into an air heater, and the dehumidified air returns to the temperature under the action of the cooling water. The processes are carried out circularly, and the cooling and dehumidifying treatment of the energy storage battery can be realized simultaneously.
A heating process and a dehumidifying process: the refrigerant outlet 102 is switched to the second state, at this time, the refrigerant is compressed to a high-temperature high-pressure gaseous state by the compressor 10, enters the second heat exchanger 30 through the fifth circulation port 301, and exchanges heat with water from the battery pack of the energy storage battery, so that the heating of the energy storage battery is completed. After releasing the heat, the refrigerant is converted into low-temperature condensate, and then enters the first heat exchanger 20 through the sixth circulation port 302 and the second circulation port 202 to exchange heat with the cooling water from the cooling tower 40, so that the temperature of the cooling water is further lowered, and the refrigerant in a low-temperature condensate liquid state absorbs heat and then comes out from the first circulation port 201 to return to the compressor. Meanwhile, since the third heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 30 are disposed in parallel between the second circulation port 202 and the compressor 10, a part of the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the compressor 10 enters the third heat exchanger 50, and in this case, the third heat exchanger 50 corresponds to an air heater. And a part of the lower temperature cooling water coming out of the third flow port 203 of the first heat exchanger 20 enters the fourth heat exchanger 60 disposed in parallel with the cooling tower 40. In this case, the fourth heat exchanger 60 may also function as a dehumidifying evaporator. Under the driving action of the air driving unit 70, the dehumidified air in the energy storage battery container exchanges heat with the fourth heat exchanger 60, and the carried moisture is condensed and separated out under the action of the low-temperature cooling water, so that the dehumidification effect is achieved. The dehumidified air then continues to contact the third heat exchanger 50, returning to temperature under the heat release from its refrigerant. The processes are carried out circularly, and heating and dehumidifying treatment on the energy storage battery can be simultaneously realized.
It should be noted that, by arranging the third heat exchanger 50 and the fourth heat exchanger 60 in parallel, the cold or heat in the refrigerant and the cooling water can be more fully utilized, and the dehumidification process is more efficient.
In a preferred embodiment, the compressor 10 is a turbo compressor.
In the gist of the present invention, by switching between the first state and the second state, dehumidification of air in the energy storage battery container can be achieved simultaneously with the cooling or heating process. In order to further save equipment and space, in a preferred embodiment, the air driving unit 70 is a counter-rotating fan. The flow direction of the dehumidified air can be conveniently controlled by adopting a forward and reverse rotating fan, for example, the dehumidified air is driven to rotate forward in the cooling process, and then passes through the third heat exchanger 50 and the fourth heat exchanger 60; during heating, it is reversed, driving the dehumidified air through the fourth heat exchanger 60 before the third heat exchanger 50. In order to increase the speed of air dehumidification and air return, the forward/reverse rotation fan, the third heat exchanger 50, and the fourth heat exchanger 60 are preferably disposed in order and in opposition to each other.
In a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the second circulation port 202 and the sixth circulation port 302 are connected through a first pipeline, the second circulation port 202 and the third heat exchanger 50 are connected through a second pipeline, and the energy storage battery thermal management system with the dehumidification function further comprises a first throttle valve 21 and a second throttle valve 22, wherein the first throttle valve 21 is arranged on the first pipeline; a second throttle 22 is arranged on the second line. In this way, during actual operation, the refrigerant can be further converted into a low-temperature condensation state through the first throttle valve 21 and the second throttle valve 22, so that the cooling efficiency of the energy storage battery is further improved. Meanwhile, by adjusting the opening and closing states of the first throttle valve 21 and the second throttle valve 22, separate cooling process, heating process, and dehumidifying process may also be implemented. Such as. When the dehumidification process is not required, the second throttle 22 may be closed, the first throttle 21 may be opened, and then cooling or heating of the energy storage battery may be achieved by switching between the first state and the second state, respectively. When cooling or heating is not required, the first throttle valve 21 may be closed and the second throttle valve may be opened to perform a separate dehumidification process in the first state or the second state.
Preferably, the first throttle 21 and the second throttle 22 are both electronic expansion valves.

Thus, the communication state between the four ports can be switched easily by the reversing adjustment in the four-way reversing valve 80, thereby switching the first state (cooling state) and the second state (heating state) more easily.
In a preferred embodiment, the four-way reversing valve 80 is connected to the fifth port 301 via a third line, and the third heat exchanger 50 is connected to the third line via a fourth line. In this way, the direction of the refrigerant flow in the fifth port 301 and the refrigerant flow in the third heat exchanger 50 can be switched simultaneously by switching the direction of the four-way selector valve 80, which is more convenient to operate.
In a preferred embodiment, the first heat exchanger 20 and the second heat exchanger 30 are both plate heat exchangers. The plate heat exchanger has higher heat exchange efficiency, and the plate heat exchanger is favorable for further improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the energy storage battery.
