Original Abstract Submitted
The invention provides a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system comprises: a first circuit, wherein the first circuit is a natural cooling circuit and comprises a first evaporator; a second circuit, wherein the second circuit is a mechanical refrigeration circuit and comprises a second evaporator; and a coolant circuit, wherein the coolant circuit passes through the first evaporator and the second evaporator in sequence, and the coolant circuit further comprises a first bypass branch in parallel with the first evaporator, where a first control valve is provided on the first bypass branch. The refrigeration system according to the embodiments of the invention has a smaller flow resistance in the mechanical refrigeration mode, thus effectively reducing the energy consumption of the coolant drive pump on the coolant flow path.
