Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 112: The production of ground source heat pump
The new storage space brought by the upgrade of the storage room did not increase too much, but the food storage room was expanded by five square meters.
However, this is still much more spacious than the original ten-square-meter space where both food and supplies need to be placed. At least Chen Xin doesn't have to deal with the supplies all over the place.
Especially the extra shelves on the wall. After placing the steel bars and some small parts, the floor of the storage room can be said to be much cleaner. Apart from the cement, there is nothing left to be placed on the floor.
This way, a lot of space is freed up.
At least Chen Xin can drag the two air-conditioning units stacked next to the workbench into the material storage room, instead of stacking them in the way.
After dragging the two air conditioners into the storage room, Chen Xin returned to the workbench and opened the system interface again.
In addition to manufacturing various equipment and processing various parts with the help of the system, the workbench produced by the system can actually be used to disassemble various things.
Of course, this is the function of the workbench itself, but with the power of the system, Chen Xin can make the dismantling work easier, and the recycling of resources can also be more efficient.
For example, he is sitting in front of the workbench now, and on the system interface, he can see the two air conditioners that have been stuffed into the storage room, and the display shows the status of detachable and recycled resources.
Obviously, under the power of the system, Chen Xin can already sit in front of the workbench and directly dismantle the things in the storage room.
Looking at the air conditioner's external unit, which was shown to be detachable, Chen Xin hesitated a little, then clicked on the dismantling and disassembled one of them into parts.
The parts do not appear on the workbench, but remain in the storage room.
However, after finishing the dismantling, Chen Xin came to the storage room again curiously to see what was left of the external air conditioner after the dismantling of the system.
In the storage room at this time, there is one less air-conditioning unit originally stacked by Chen Xin against the wall, and there are many more disassembled parts in the empty space on the side shelf.
Chen Xin went to the shelf and picked up the disassembled parts, and recognized that it was the compressor, one of the most important parts of the air conditioner's outer unit.
These are also necessary parts for Chen Xin to manufacture ground source heat pump equipment. Although there is a system to help Chen Xin build ground source heat pumps, he cannot make these parts because of the insufficient level of the workbench.
Faced with this kind of setting that some parts in the game can't be created and can only be obtained by collecting in the wild or doing quests, Chen Xin is not surprised.
When there are ready-made parts, it is not difficult to build a usable ground source heat pump equipment through the transformation of the pipeline and the splicing of the parts. Even if the parts are okay, even without the help of the system, Chen Xin Ground source heat pump equipment can also be assembled.
However, just relying on the tools on the current workbench, it is like a fantasy to build a compressor by yourself.
Although the compressor used in the air conditioner looks like two long cans, one large and one small, connected together, the structure inside is quite complicated.
Before Chen Xin became a full-time writer and started writing online novels, he also did other jobs, because he was also exposed to mechanical manufacturing.
He clearly knows that the manufacture of a compressor cannot be done in a hand-crafted workshop. Even if the compressor is disassembled into parts and given to him, he may not be able to put all the parts back in as they are.
In other words, even if it can be installed back, Chen Xin is not sure whether the compressor can still be used.
Because the compressor is under high pressure when it is working, in this case, even a slight leak or improper assembly may turn the compressor into a bomb, causing serious consequences.
Therefore, the manufacture and processing of this kind of thing requires real industrial-level processing and manufacturing capabilities, not garage workshops.
Chen Xin doesn't really care about this situation. He doesn't have a high demand for this kind of equipment and parts. The materials provided by the SWAT team are enough to meet his needs.
And there is a system, if it is really impossible to obtain, Chen Xin can also continuously upgrade the workbench and workshop, so that he can finally produce the parts and equipment he needs.
Chen Xin, who had no intention of working at all, looked at the disassembled parts, somehow became interested, and returned to the workbench, planning to build the first ground source heat pump.
The ground source heat pump equipment does not have system drawings to refer to like the firearm drawings on the workbench of the weapon cabinet. With the powerful functions of the system, it can be operated foolishly.
The ground source heat pump equipment without drawings and references needs to be assembled bit by bit by Chen Xin himself, and the system can only provide some assistance.
Just like Chen Xin made an oxygen machine before, the system can help him process materials and improve the accuracy and quality of parts at best, and cannot replace him directly processing materials into parts.
However, this is not difficult for Chen Xin. Although the structure of the ground source heat pump system is somewhat complicated~IndoMTL.com~, there are related structural flow charts and general circuit diagrams in Chen Xin's notebook. Compared with the drawings, Chen Xin still Able to assemble the entire device.
It's just that although it can be installed, what Chen Xin assembled is still rough.
And there is one thing that Chen Xin did not expect before, that is, the refrigerant used in the materials he saw in the ground source heat pump equipment is usually water, unlike the refrigerant used in household air conditioners, which is a chemical refrigerant. .
Water is the medium with the highest latent heat of evaporation in nature. It also carries the largest amount of heat from liquid to gas. However, for small household air conditioners, using water as a cooling circulation medium is not suitable.
The refrigerants used in household air conditioners are small in size, fast in effect, and can be vaporized, compressed and condensed at room temperature.
As for air conditioners that use water as the cooling circulation medium, there is no lack of air conditioners. The advantages of water are reflected in large central air conditioners or work places like ground source heat pumps that require cooling circulation media to carry more heat.
This is actually like the difference between small trucks and large trucks. Small trucks pull less, but are fast and flexible, and are suitable for small-scale use; while large trucks pull more, but are large in size and slow in speed, so they are suitable for large-scale use.
But now Chen Xin does not consider directly replacing the remaining cooling medium in these equipment with water, but to assemble the equipment first.
After all, this is only the external unit of the household central air conditioner. The cooling and circulating medium used in it is still a chemical medium, which also leads to its small circulating pipeline. The evaporator and condenser are also chemical medium. The medium is designed and not suitable for water.
If it weren't for the system, Chen Xin wouldn't be able to do it even if he wanted to, but with the system, it would not be too troublesome to modify the cooling circulation medium.
