Description

Air conditioner and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof.
Background
Indoor temperature and humidity are important factors affecting the comfort of human living environment. The air conditioning system can refrigerate and heat to adjust the indoor temperature, and the air conditioner also has a dehumidification mode, but the dehumidification mode of the traditional air conditioner is as follows: the refrigerant in the air conditioning system is in a state of refrigerating cycle operation for indoor, namely the indoor heat exchanger absorbs heat for evaporation refrigeration, and when the temperature of air passing through the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is reduced to dew point temperature, water can be precipitated and condensed from the air, so that the dehumidification effect is achieved, and the change of the indoor temperature is reduced by reducing the indoor temperature or starting electric heating.
The dehumidification mode of the conventional air conditioner has problems:
because the traditional air conditioning system is used for refrigeration and dehumidification, the indoor temperature can be operated only under certain conditions (such as 16-30 ℃), if the temperature exceeds the range, the compressor is stopped, and the refrigeration and dehumidification can not be operated normally. In humid weather in spring and winter, the dehumidification mode of the conventional air conditioner may not work normally.
Since the conventional air conditioning system performs cooling and dehumidification, the indoor temperature is lowered when the temperature is required to be lower than the dew point temperature of air in the dehumidification mode, or the electric heating is turned on to avoid the lowering of the room temperature. Therefore, the traditional air conditioning system is not energy-saving due to refrigeration and dehumidification; when wet weather is saved in spring and winter, the indoor temperature is further reduced due to the fact that the temperature in seasons is low, and comfort experience of people is affected.
In the prior published patent technology CN105352042B, a constant temperature dehumidification air conditioner indoor unit is disclosed, in which a first heat exchanger is provided for receiving low temperature refrigerant during constant temperature dehumidification to perform evaporation refrigeration, and indoor air is cooled and dehumidified; the second heat exchanger is used for receiving high-temperature refrigerants to condense and heat, so that the low-temperature dry air flowing through the first heat exchanger is heated to the room temperature through the second heat exchanger. The purpose of constant temperature dehumidification can be achieved, the indoor temperature is not changed greatly during dehumidification operation, and compared with the dehumidification mode of the traditional air conditioner, the dehumidification method has the advantages of improved comfort and certain technical progress. However, the drawbacks of the prior art CN105352042B are: when dehumidification at constant temperature, high temperature high pressure refrigerant gas passes through outdoor heat exchanger condensation cooling, makes the system heat discharge great to outdoor side, leads to the intensification of second heat exchanger not enough, and constant temperature effect is relatively poor during the dehumidification. Meanwhile, as the refrigerant in the air conditioning system circulates through the outdoor heat exchanger, the on-way flow loss and heat loss increase the system power, and the energy is not saved enough.
Because the problems that in the prior art, when dehumidification is performed, a refrigerant circularly flows through an outdoor heat exchanger, the system power is increased due to flow along the way and heat loss, the energy efficiency is low and the like exist in an air conditioning system, the air conditioner and the control method thereof are researched and designed.
