Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a self-adaptive adjusting method for the frequency of a fan of a cooling tower and an air conditioning system using the adjusting method.
Background
the adjustment of the frequency of the cooling tower fan in the central air-conditioning system determines the cooling effect of the cooling tower variable-frequency fan on a cooling water system and the power consumption ratio of the system design. The energy consumption of the water chilling unit is correspondingly influenced by the cooling water outlet temperature of the cooling tower, and the energy efficiency ratio COP of the unit is reduced by 3% when the temperature of the cooling water entering the chiller rises by 1 ℃. The outlet water temperature of the cooling tower is affected by the outdoor wet bulb temperature in different regions and different climates, namely the higher the outdoor wet bulb temperature is, the higher the lower limit temperature of the outlet water of the cooling tower is, and the water temperature cannot be continuously reduced when the wet bulb temperature reaches a certain range. Therefore, in summer in a certain area, the situation that the water temperature is not reduced when fans of all systems of the cooling tower run at full frequency still occurs, and the fans have the same cooling effect when running at a certain frequency lower than 50 Hz. In addition, when the outdoor wet bulb temperature cannot be obtained through the outdoor humidity sensor, or when no humidity sensor exists, a fan full-frequency operation strategy is generally adopted, the power consumption of the system is improved by the method, and the cooling effect cannot be further improved.

Drawings
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cold water system of the present invention.
Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the following specific examples are only for illustrating the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a chilled water system. The cold water system of the air conditioning system comprises a cold water unit 1, a cooling water supply header pipe 2 connected with the cold water unit, a cooling water return header pipe 3, a cooling tower (not shown), a fan 4 and a cooling water pump 5. One cooling tower comprises at least one fan and adopts a full-frequency-conversion control scheme. When the cooling tower is in work, the frequency of the cooling tower fan is adjusted, and the cooling tower is enabled to reduce the temperature of cooling water outlet as much as possible in the most energy-saving and simple mode along with the load change of an air conditioning unit and the change of outdoor environment temperature and humidity under the condition that the flow of cooling water is stable and unchanged.
When the outdoor wet bulb temperature is higher, the lower limit temperature of the outlet water of the cooling tower is also high, in order to continuously reduce the temperature of the outlet water, the frequency increasing condition in the existing control method is loaded to the highest frequency, and the highest frequency in the common design is set as the rated frequency, generally 50Hz, or is set as a fixed value through the manufacturer parameters. When the cooling tower equipment is abnormal or the water chilling units run in different quantities, the fans can run at the highest frequency of 50 Hz. Namely, under the condition of low-load operation of a cold machine, the temperature of cooling return water cannot be reduced due to higher temperature of a wet bulb, and the fan is still added with frequency to operate at the highest frequency, so that the fan does useless work.
Aiming at the problems, the invention provides a self-adaptive adjusting method for the upper limit value of the fan frequency of a cooling tower.
The adjusting method carries out parameter optimization on the upper limit value of the fan frequency according to the number of the running water chilling units, the number of the cooling towers, the number of fans of a single cooling tower and the rated frequency of the fan frequency, and controls the change of the fan frequency which is put into the cooling tower to run.
In the regulation and control method, all started fans are regulated simultaneously and have consistent frequency.
In the cooling water system shown in fig. 1, the number of the cooling water pumps which are started is consistent with the number of the units in operation, that is, 3 cooling water pumps correspond to 3 cooling water units, and 2 cooling water pumps correspond to 2 cooling water units. The cooling tower fan is fully open. During actual work, when the water inlet temperature required by the water chilling unit or the condition that the water chilling unit is not required to provide cold energy for standby is met, the cooling water pump and the cooling tower fan can be turned off for energy conservation.
According to practical application tests and by combining the calculation relationship between power and fan frequency, the invention obtains the self-adaptive adjusting method for the fan frequency of the cooling tower, and the method adjusts the upper limit value of the fan operating frequency through the following formula:
wherein: m is the number of running water chilling units, n is the number of cooling towers, and A is the number of fans of a single cooling tower.
The invention adjusts the frequency of the fan through the calculation relation of the frequency and the power, achieves the cooling water outlet temperature matched with the water chilling unit, and further meets the energy-saving requirement of the system.
In one embodiment of frequency control of cooling tower fans, 2 water chilling units, 3 cooling water pumps (one for standby), 4 sets of cooling towers and 1 tower 2 fans are provided. The fan frequencies of the cooling towers with all opened channels are identical, and the running frequencies are identical.
When the number of the units is 1, the number of the cooling towers is 4, and the calculation is carried out by substituting the formula, so that the upper limit of the operating frequency of the fan is 39.7 Hz. The fan frequency is now operated at an upper limit of 39.7 Hz.
When the running number of the unit is 2, the available number of the cooling towers is 4, and the upper limit of the running frequency of the air outlet machine is calculated by substituting the formula to be 50 Hz. At the moment, the fan frequency is operated according to the upper limit value of 50 Hz.
When the number of the units is 1, the number of the cooling towers is 3, and the upper limit of the operating frequency of the air outlet machine is calculated by substituting the formula to be 43.7 Hz. At this time, the fan frequency is operated at an upper limit of 43.7 Hz.
When the number of the units is 2, the number of the cooling tower fans is 3, and the calculation value of the upper limit of the running frequency of the fans is calculated to be 55Hz by substituting the formula. Because the calculated upper limit value of the frequency is greater than the rated frequency 50Hz of the fan frequency, the fan frequency runs according to the rated frequency 50 Hz.
And the other cases are analogized in turn.
The adjusting method provided by the invention limits the upper limit value of the fan frequency, but the frequency conversion control within the upper limit value carries out fan frequency increasing and decreasing according to different algorithms. The optimization formula provided by the invention shows that the frequency conversion effect is achieved by limiting the upper limit of the frequency. And the frequency is controlled according to the traditional PID method and other methods within the upper limit. The method also comprises the step of controlling the starting and stopping states of the cooling tower fan.
The adjusting method provided by the invention also comprises the step of controlling the starting and stopping states of the cooling tower fan. The starting temperature and the closing temperature of the fan of the cooling tower can be set through the temperature of cooling water in the cooling water return main pipe.
Preferably, the cooling fan start temperature set point is in the range of 20 ℃ to 29 ℃. The opening temperature of the centrifugal water chiller and the opening temperature of the screw water chiller are different, the opening temperature is generally used as the lower limit of the cooling water protection temperature of the water chiller, and the water chiller cannot be opened when the opening temperature is lower than the lower limit of the cooling water protection temperature.
As an example, the start temperature of the cooling fan may record an average value of return water temperatures of the cooling main pipe of the previous day as the start temperature, for example, sampling every 10 minutes, and calculating all the adopted average values as the start temperature of the cooling fan. When the starting temperature exceeds the upper limit value, setting according to the upper limit value; and pressing the lower limit value when the starting temperature is lower than the lower limit value.
The self-adaptive algorithm of the set value of the closing temperature and the set value of the starting temperature of the cooling fan meets the relation:
TOpener≥Tclosing deviceA value of + B, wherein,
TOpenerFor cooling the starting temperature, T, of the fanclosing deviceIs the off temperature of the cooling fan.
The value of B in this example is in the range of 3 ℃ to 8 ℃, preferably 4 ℃.
When the running water chilling unit is a screw machine, the closing temperature of the cooling fan is not lower than 18 ℃.
When the running unit is a centrifugal machine, the closing temperature of the cooling fan is not lower than 12 ℃.
The technical scheme provided by the invention is suitable for the situation that no temperature and humidity sensor or the temperature and humidity sensor is damaged, and the fan is designed under the fully-open and fully-closed working condition.
Compared with the method for controlling the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower by installing the outdoor temperature and humidity sensor, the method for controlling the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower is more reliable, and the outdoor temperature and humidity do not need to be installed. The adjusting method provided by the invention has the advantages that the fan of the cooling tower is still in the lower limit temperature range under the energy-saving running state mainly according to the cubic relation between the power and the frequency of the motor of the fan, so that the water chilling unit is more energy-saving.
the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that any modifications, equivalents and changes made within the spirit and framework of the inventive concept are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
