Abstract

A cooling system includes an area heat extraction hardware, a cooling device including an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser, a grounded-coupled heat exchanger connecting to the condenser and a cooling medium circularly flowing in the area heat extraction hardware, the cooling device and the grounded-coupled heat exchanger. The area heat extraction hardware extracts heat from the air and heats the cooling medium. The heated cooling medium passes through the evaporator and the evaporator extracts the heat of the heated cooling medium. The compressor transfers the heat extracted by the evaporator to the condenser. The condenser transfers the heat from the compressor to the grounded-coupled heat exchanger. The grounded-coupled heat exchanger transfers the heat of the cooling medium to the ground so the cooling medium is cooled.
