Detailed Description
In order to make the technical means, the creation characteristics, the achievement purposes and the effects of the invention easy to understand, the invention is further described with reference to the specific drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for controlling the flow rate of a low-temperature heating refrigerant in a matching manner includes the following steps:
s1: when the air conditioner enters a heating mode, judging whether the condition for entering defrosting control is met, if so, executing a step S2, and if not, operating according to the original stable heating mode;
s2: the air conditioner carries out defrosting operation; after defrosting is finished, the electronic expansion valve is restored to the initial opening degree, and frosting timing is started according to preset frosting time; when the frosting time reaches the preset frosting time, executing the step S3;
s3: starting valve adjustment timing according to preset expansion valve adjustment time;
s4: when the valve adjusting timing reaches the preset expansion valve adjusting time, the electronic expansion valve closes the valve by one step (namely, opening is reduced by one), at the moment, whether the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is reduced to the preset lower-limit opening degree is judged, if yes, the step S6 is executed, and if not, the step S5 is executed;
s5: judging whether to enter defrosting control, if so, executing step S2, and if not, executing step S3;
s6: the electronic expansion valve keeps the opening degree unchanged;
s7: when the condition for entering the defrosting control is reached, step S2 is executed, otherwise step S6 is executed.
When the air conditioner is heated at low temperature, because the evaporating temperature of a refrigerant of the outdoor heat exchanger is lower than 0 ℃, a frost layer can be gradually formed on the surface of the heat exchanger, and the frost layer is thicker when the time is longer, the ventilation and heat exchange of the system and the reliability of the air conditioner can be seriously influenced, so that the air conditioner can enter defrosting control when reaching a certain degree. Whether the defrosting control can be carried out or not is judged, and environmental parameters such as outdoor atmospheric temperature, evaporating temperature and the like can be detected and compared, and the defrosting control is not described herein because the defrosting control belongs to the prior art. The original stable heating is the state that the outdoor heat exchanger is not frosted, and the system is stable in the state, so that the system cannot enter an unstable heating state due to frosting. The initial opening is the opening of the electronic expansion valve which meets the heat exchange load at the initial stage of the frosting of the system. The frosting time is estimated time of the initial frosting stage, and the matching requirement of the heat exchanger can be met by adopting the refrigerant flow passing through the initial opening degree at the initial frosting stage. The expansion valve adjustment time is the time interval between each step of closing the electronic expansion valve, and after the initial frosting period, along with the increase of a frost layer, the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator is gradually reduced, the initially fixed refrigerant flow cannot be completely evaporated, so that the refrigerant and the heat exchange capacity are not matched with each other, the capacity is rapidly attenuated, and the use effect of the air conditioner is deteriorated; the adjustment time of the expansion valve is set to gradually reduce the flow of the refrigerant to match the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator, so that the performance of the air conditioner is prevented from being deteriorated. The lower limit opening degree is set by the system to avoid the influence on the performance and the reliability of the air conditioner caused by the fact that the electronic expansion valve is closed to a closed state along with the frosting time, so that the electronic expansion valve reaching the lower limit opening degree is not adjusted downwards.
The method has the advantages that the refrigerant flow at the initial frosting stage is matched with the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator by setting the frosting time and the initial opening degree, the gradually reduced refrigerant flow is dynamically matched with the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator which is gradually reduced due to the increase of a frost layer after the initial frosting stage by setting the expansion valve adjusting time and the one-step operation of closing the valve of the electronic expansion valve each time, on one hand, the problem of air conditioner performance deterioration caused by the mismatching of the refrigerant and the heat exchange capacity of the expansion valve with the fixed opening degree in the prior art is solved, the low-temperature heating capacity of the air conditioner is obviously improved, and the use effect is improved; on the other hand, the problems that the frosting process is unstable and the frosting period is shortened due to rough control of the flow of the electronic expansion valve in the prior art are solved, the frosting period is prolonged, the defrosting times are reduced, the energy consumption and the cost are effectively reduced, the noise pollution of defrosting is reduced, and the comfort is improved.
As a further optimization, the frosting time can be 2-8 minutes. In particular, the frosting time is preferably 4 minutes.
As a further optimization, the adjusting time of the expansion valve can be 15-60 seconds. In particular, the expansion valve adjustment time is preferably 30 seconds.
As a further optimization, the lower limit opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can be 1/2-4/5 of the initial opening degree. And if the initial opening is 200, the selectable range of the lower-limit opening is 100-160. Specifically, the lower limit opening degree is preferably 3/4, and is 150 in the case where the initial opening degree is 200.
The frosting time, the expansion valve adjusting time, the lower limit opening degree of the electronic expansion valve and the initial opening degree can be adaptively adjusted according to the specific frosting environment and the air conditioner performance.
An air conditioner adopts any one of the above-mentioned low-temperature heating refrigerant flow matching control methods, including an electronic expansion valve, and also includes:
a control unit: the electronic expansion valve is used for judging and adjusting the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve;
a clock module: carrying out frosting timing and valve adjusting timing;
