Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a control method for defrosting an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, methods for controlling air make-up enthalpy of an air conditioner are provided, which can be used to solve the problem that the actual heating auxiliary effect of an air make-up mode adopted by the air conditioner under the conditions of rain, snow or low temperature and severe cold is poor, and in the embodiment, the main flow steps of the control method include:
s101, under the condition that the air conditioner supplements air to the compressor, controlling to heat a liquid inlet refrigerant of a gas-liquid separator;
in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner is generally set to operate in a heating mode under low-temperature and severe cold conditions, and is affected by external environmental factors, so that the heating performance of the air conditioner may change, and if the external environment is severe, the cooling and heating load of the air conditioner increases, the heat absorption amount of the outdoor heat exchanger from the outdoor environment decreases, and the amount of the gaseous refrigerant formed by the liquid refrigerant through heat absorption and vaporization decreases accordingly, so that when the refrigerant flows back from the outdoor heat exchanger to the air return end of the compressor, the excess liquid refrigerant may be stored in the liquid reservoir, and only the gaseous refrigerant flows back to the compressor.
Therefore, when the air conditioner is in heating operation, the air supply to the compressor is controlled.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S101, the compressor is compensated with air, and the temperature and the flow rate of the gaseous refrigerant in the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor can be increased by means of air compensation, so that the temperature and the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor are increased by applying air compensation operation in the heating process, so as to improve the heating performance of the air conditioner in the heating condition.
Optionally, the air conditioner is provided with an air supplement branch, wherein the end of the air conditioner is communicated with an air supplement port of the compressor, the end of the air conditioner is communicated with a gas-liquid separator arranged between the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger, and the air supplement branch is provided with a control valve, so that the air supplement operation of the compressor in the step S101 can be executed through the air supplement branch and relevant accessories thereof, and the air supplement comprises that at least part of the refrigerant circulation loop flows back to the compressor along the air supplement branch through the gas-liquid separator.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, by heating the liquid refrigerant of the gas-liquid separator, part of the liquid refrigerant which is heat-released and liquefied in the indoor heat exchanger in the heating mode can be vaporized again by absorbing heat before flowing into the gas-liquid separator, and the temperature and the flow rate of the gaseous refrigerant in the refrigerant which flows back to the compressor through the gas supplementing branch are changed; under this condition, can just can reach the effect of adjusting the tonifying qi flow through the heating operation to vapour and liquid separator's feed liquor refrigerant, simultaneously, heating operation can also promote the temperature of liquid refrigerant, makes it can more easily vaporize into gaseous state refrigerant after flowing into outdoor heat exchanger to satisfy the demand that improves compressor compression performance and air conditioner heating performance.
In , the air conditioner is provided with a heating device at the refrigerant inlet pipe of the gas-liquid separator in the heating mode, the heating device is configured to controllably heat the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet pipe, and therefore the heating operation of the heating device is controlled to be turned on in step S101.
In the embodiment, the heating device is an electromagnetic heating device that heats the refrigerant pipeline by using the principle of electromagnetic induction heating, and then conducts heat to the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipeline by using the refrigerant pipeline, so as to heat the refrigerant.
The electromagnetic heating device mainly comprises an induction coil and a power supply module, wherein the induction coil is wound on the refrigerant pipeline section, and the power supply module can provide alternating current for the induction coil; when the induction coil is electrified, alternating current flowing through the induction coil generates an alternating magnetic field passing through the refrigerant pipe section, and the alternating magnetic field can generate eddy currents in the refrigerant pipe section, so that the heating and warming effects can be realized by means of the energy of the eddy currents.
It should be understood that the type of the heating device for heating the refrigerant is not limited to the above electromagnetic heating device, and other types of heating devices capable of directly or indirectly heating the refrigerant in the related art may also apply the technical solution of the present application and are covered by the protection scope of the present application.
And S102, controlling the refrigerant flow of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air replenishing branch according to the air returning parameter.
Optionally, the return air parameter comprises a return air temperature or a return air pressure of the compressor.
Here, the return air parameter is a parameter reflecting an initial state of a refrigerant sucked by the compressor, and therefore, the quality of the initial state of the refrigerant can directly influence the quality of the discharge parameter of the compressor, and further influence the actual heating performance of the air conditioner. Therefore, in this embodiment, the return air parameter is used as a reference factor for controlling the refrigerant flow of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air make-up branch, and the air make-up operation is assisted to change the compression performance of the compressor by adjusting the refrigerant flow of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air make-up branch, so as to improve the heating performance of the air conditioner.
In alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, a temperature sensor is disposed at the air return end of the compressor, and the temperature sensor can be used to detect the real-time temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the air return end of the compressor, so that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the real-time temperature of the refrigerant detected by the temperature sensor is used as the air return temperature of the compressor.
Similarly, the air return end of the compressor is provided with an pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor can be used for detecting the real-time pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the air return end of the compressor, so that the real-time pressure of the refrigerant detected by the pressure sensor is used as the air return pressure of the compressor in the embodiment of the disclosure.
The control method for air supplement and enthalpy increase of the air conditioner can control the heating operation of the liquid inlet refrigerant of the gas-liquid separator according to the air supplement of the air conditioner to the compressor, so that the temperature and the flow rate of the branch refrigerant which becomes gaseous after being heated and is divided to supplement air can be increased; and the mode of controlling the refrigerant flow of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air supply branch is matched with the heating operation of the liquid inlet refrigerant, so that the problem of poor actual heating auxiliary effect of the air supply mode adopted by the air conditioner is effectively solved.
In , the step S102 of controlling the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air make-up branch according to the air return parameter includes determining whether the air return parameter satisfies an air return refrigerant condition, and controlling the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air make-up branch according to a determination result.
Optionally, when the air-return parameter is an air-return temperature, the air-return refrigerant state condition includes: the return air temperature is greater than or equal to the return air temperature threshold. Here, the return air temperature threshold is a threshold value for determining whether only the air supply adjusting operation can meet the return air requirement of the compressor, and when the return air temperature is less than the return air temperature threshold, that is, the return air parameter does not meet the condition of the return air refrigerant state, it is indicated that only the air supply adjusting operation cannot meet the return air requirement of the compressor; and when the return air temperature is greater than or equal to the return air temperature threshold, the condition shows that only the air supply adjusting operation can meet the return air requirement of the compressor.
optionally, when the return air pressure is the return air pressure, the return air refrigerant condition includes that the return air pressure is greater than or equal to the return air pressure threshold, where the return air pressure threshold is a threshold for measuring whether only the air make-up adjustment operation can meet the return air requirement of the compressor, when the return air pressure is less than the return air pressure threshold, that is, when the return air parameter does not meet the return air refrigerant condition, it indicates that only the air make-up adjustment operation cannot meet the return air requirement of the compressor, and when the return air pressure is greater than or equal to the return air pressure threshold, it indicates that only the air make-up adjustment operation can meet the return air requirement of the compressor.
Therefore, the refrigerant flow of the refrigerant circulation loop and/or the air supplement branch can be controlled according to the judgment result.
In , the control process for adjusting the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant circulation loop in step S102 includes obtaining a corresponding main path flow rate reduction value from the association relationship if the air-return parameter does not satisfy the air-return refrigerant state condition, and adjusting the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant circulation loop according to the main path flow rate reduction value.
Here, when the return air parameter does not satisfy the return air refrigerant state condition, it indicates that the air supply to the compressor is insufficient at this time, and therefore, the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant circulation circuit is reduced according to the main path flow rate reduction value control to increase the refrigerant flow rate branched along the air supply branch, thereby increasing the air supply amount to the compressor.

Here, when the air return parameter satisfies the air return refrigerant state condition, it indicates that the air supply to the compressor is sufficient at this time, and therefore, the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant circulation circuit is increased according to the main path flow rate increase value control to increase the refrigerant flow rate along the refrigerant circulation circuit and reduce the refrigerant flow rate shunted to the air supply branch circuit, so that more refrigerants can flow through the outdoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the outdoor environment under the condition of satisfying the air return requirement of the compressor.

Here, when the return air parameter does not satisfy the return air refrigerant state condition, it indicates that the air supply to the compressor is insufficient at this time, and therefore, the refrigerant flow rate of the air supply branch is increased according to the branch flow rate increase value control, so as to increase the refrigerant flow rate branched along the air supply branch, thereby increasing the air supply to the compressor.

Here, when the return air parameter satisfies the return air refrigerant condition, it indicates that the air supplement to the compressor is sufficient, and therefore, the refrigerant flow rate of the air supplement branch is controlled to be reduced according to the branch flow rate reduction value to increase the refrigerant flow rate along the refrigerant circulation loop, so that more refrigerants can flow through the outdoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the outdoor environment under the condition of satisfying the return air requirement of the compressor.
