Example 3
The present embodiment provides an operation control method applied to the above-mentioned unit, and fig. 4 is a flowchart of the operation control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes:
and S101, acquiring high pressure and low pressure of the unit.
When the compressor surges, the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit can be increased, and when the compressor is blocked, the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit can be reduced, so that whether the unit surges or blocks can be judged through the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit.
S102, adjusting the opening of a throttle valve according to the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure to adjust the low pressure; the throttle valve is arranged on a pipeline between an evaporator and a compressor of the unit.
When the compressor surges to cause the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit to rise, the pressure difference can be reduced by a method of rising the low pressure; when the compressor is clogged to cause a decrease in the differential pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit, the differential pressure may be increased by a method of decreasing the low pressure, and in particular, the low pressure may be adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the throttle valve.
According to the operation control method, the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit are obtained, and the opening of the throttle valve on the pipeline between the evaporator and the compressor of the unit is adjusted through the controller according to the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure so as to adjust the low pressure, so that the problem of surging or blocking of the compressor can be solved, and the operation stability of the unit is improved.
Example 4
In this embodiment, another operation control method is provided, in order to match the opening degree adjustment amount mode of the low pressure with the current working condition, the step S102 specifically includes:
if the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure is greater than the first threshold value, the current surge working condition is indicated, and the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be increased at the moment so as to improve the low pressure, reduce the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure and improve the surge problem; if the differential pressure is smaller than or equal to the first threshold value and larger than or equal to the second threshold value, the unit is in a normal operation state, and the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be kept unchanged so as to keep the low-pressure unchanged; and if the differential pressure is smaller than the second threshold value, the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be reduced so as to reduce the low-pressure, increase the differential pressure between the high-pressure and the low-pressure and improve the blockage problem. It should be noted that, in the initial state, the throttle valve is opened by a preset opening degree, for example, 50% of the maximum opening degree, and then, the throttle valve is adjusted based on the preset opening degree.
Since the surge threshold value and the blockage threshold value are different in different operation parameters, the first threshold value and the second threshold value need to be set according to the actual operation condition, and therefore, before executing step S102, the method further includes: acquiring the inlet temperature and the ambient temperature of a heat exchange medium of an evaporator; and determining the first threshold value and the second threshold value according to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, the ambient temperature and the characteristic curve of the compressor.
Under the specific working condition of running of the water chilling unit, when the evaporation temperature t0 is constant, the unit refrigerating capacity of the heat exchange medium is changed due to the change of the condensation temperature tk, and the unit mass isentropic work of the heat exchange medium is approximately considered to be proportional to the temperature difference tk-t 0. For the air-cooled water chilling unit, the evaporation temperature is related to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, and the condensation temperature is related to the outdoor environment temperature. Therefore, the evaporation temperature t0 can be obtained according to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, the condensation temperature tk can be obtained according to the outdoor environment temperature, and a first threshold value P1 of the pressure difference when the compressor generates surge can be obtained according to the evaporation temperature t0 and the condensation temperature tk by combining the characteristic curve of the compressor, or a second threshold value P2 of the pressure difference when the compressor generates blockage and a mathematical model expression f (tk, t0) of the evaporation temperature and the condensation temperature of the unit under the specific working condition. According to the formula, the controller of the unit can obtain the values of the parameters t0 and tk according to the detected inlet temperature and the ambient temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, and automatically calculate to obtain a second threshold value of the pressure difference under the working condition of compressor blockage and a first threshold value of the pressure difference under the surge working condition.
Since the actual operating state of the unit is changed in real time, and the first threshold and the second threshold should be changed, after determining the first threshold and the second threshold according to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium, the ambient temperature, and the characteristic curve of the compressor, the method further includes: and updating the first threshold value and the second threshold value according to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium, the ambient temperature and the characteristic curve of the compressor every first preset time interval.
Because the high pressure and the low pressure of the unit are changed, in order to ensure the control accuracy, the regulation is needed to be carried out again at regular intervals, therefore, after the low pressure is regulated according to the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure, the method also comprises the following steps: after the second preset time, the opening of the throttle valve is triggered again to adjust the low pressure according to the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure.
The first preset time length and the second preset time length can be the same or different, when the first preset time length is different from the second preset time length, if the opening of the throttle valve is adjusted according to the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure to adjust the low pressure by triggering again, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are not updated in time, and the first threshold value and the second threshold value which are updated last time are adopted for comparison.
In order to continue to adjust the differential pressure in the above-mentioned situation, the controller may further include, before adjusting the opening of the throttle valve to adjust the low pressure according to the differential pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure, the method further including: judging whether the throttle valve reaches the maximum opening or the minimum opening; if yes, adjusting the opening degree of the pressure balance valve according to the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure to adjust the pressure difference; wherein, pressure balance valve sets up on pressure balance pipeline, and pressure balance pipeline sets up between the exhaust end of compressor and the end of breathing in, specifically, according to the pressure differential of high-pressure and low-pressure, adjusts pressure balance valve's aperture in order to adjust pressure differential, includes: if the differential pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure is greater than the first threshold value and the opening degree of the throttle valve has reached the maximum value, increasing the opening degree of the pressure balance valve to reduce the differential pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure; if the differential pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure is less than the second threshold value and the opening degree of the throttle valve has reached the minimum value, the opening degree of the pressure balance valve is decreased to increase the differential pressure.

The present embodiment provides another assembly, which is an air-cooled magnetic suspension centrifugal chiller, and the structure of the assembly is as described in fig. 3 mentioned above, and the assembly includes: the air conditioner comprises a compressor 1, a condenser 2, an electronic expansion valve 3, an evaporator 4 and a throttle valve 5, wherein the throttle valve 5 is arranged on an air suction pipeline between the evaporator 4 and the compressor 1, and the throttle valve 5 can be an electric valve which can be automatically controlled by a controller.
The heat exchange medium flow path of the unit is as follows: discharge end of compressor 1 → condenser 2 → electronic expansion valve 3 → evaporator 4 → throttle valve 5 → suction end of compressor 1.
In this embodiment, in order to balance the pressures at the discharge end and the suction end of the compressor, a pressure balance pipeline 7 is further provided, which is specifically provided between the discharge end and the suction end of the compressor 1, and is connected in parallel with the branch formed by the condenser 2, the expansion valve 3 and the evaporator 4, a pressure balance valve 8 is provided on the pressure balance pipeline, the pressures at the discharge end and the suction end of the compressor are further adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the pressure balance valve 8, specifically, if the pressure difference between the high pressure of the unit and the low pressure of the unit is too large, the opening degree of the pressure balance valve 8 is increased to reduce the pressure difference, and if the pressure difference between the high pressure of the unit and the low pressure of the unit is too small, the opening degree of the pressure balance valve 8 is decreased to increase the pressure difference.
The present embodiment further provides another operation control method, which is applied to the air-cooled magnetic levitation centrifugal chiller, fig. 5 is a flowchart of an operation control method according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the method includes:
s1, the initial opening degree of the throttle valve is set to a preset opening degree while the compressor is turned on. For example, the initial opening degree of the throttle valve is set to 50% of the maximum opening degree.
S2, obtaining a first threshold P1 of the pressure difference under the surge working condition and a second threshold P2 of the pressure difference under the blockage working condition of the compressor according to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, the ambient temperature and the characteristic curve of the compressor.
The performance curves of the magnetic suspension centrifugal refrigeration compressor and the general centrifugal compressor are basically consistent in shape and form, and only the expressed parameters are different. For example, the outlet pressure is replaced by the condensing temperature tk, and the volumetric flow qv or the mass flow qm of the heat exchange medium is replaced by the refrigerating capacity Φ. Under the specific working condition of running of the water chilling unit, when the evaporation temperature t0 is constant, the unit refrigerating capacity of the heat exchange medium is changed due to the change of the condensation temperature tk, and the unit mass isentropic work of the heat exchange medium is approximately considered to be proportional to the temperature difference tk-t 0. For the air-cooled water chilling unit, the evaporation temperature is related to the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, and the condensation temperature is related to the ambient temperature. Thus, the evaporation temperature t0 can be obtained from the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator, the condensation temperature tk can be obtained from the outdoor ambient temperature, and specifically, the evaporation temperature t0 ═ tw1+ ((1+ Pe/Φ 0)/((1-e ^ - α k) × Wm)) × Φ 1 from the evaporation temperature t0 and the condensation temperature tk; wm qmw cw, α K1 a 1/Wm; wherein tw1 is the inlet temperature of the heat exchange medium of the evaporator; qmw is the mass flow of heat exchange medium; cw is the specific heat capacity of the heat exchange medium; k1 is the heat transfer coefficient of the evaporator; a1 is the heat transfer area of the evaporator; pe is the effective power output by the prime motor; phi 1 is the evaporation load; a condensing temperature tk ═ tw2+ ((1+ Pe/Φ 0)/((1-e ^ - α k) × Wm)) × Φ 2; wm qmw cw, α K2 a 2/Wm; wherein tw2 is ambient temperature; qmw is the mass flow of heat exchange medium; cw is the specific heat capacity of the heat exchange medium; k2 is the heat transfer coefficient of the condenser; a2 is the heat transfer area of the condenser; pe is the effective power output by the prime motor; φ 2 is the condensation load. The method can obtain a first threshold P1 of the pressure difference when the compressor generates surge or a second threshold P2 of the pressure difference when the compressor generates blockage and a mathematical model expression f (tk, t0) of the evaporation temperature and the condensation temperature when the unit operates under the specific working condition, for example, f (tk, t0) ═ c1+ c2 ^ t0+ c3 ^ tk + c4 ^ t0^2+ c5 ^ t0^ tk + c6 ^ tk ^2+ c7 ^ t0^3+ c8 ^ tk ^ t0^2+ c9 ^ t0^ tk ^2+ 686c 9 ^ t ^3, c 8656 is a constant, and the characteristic curves have different coefficients, so that the mathematical expressions can be obtained through experiments, and the specific expression coefficients are different from the compressor 8653 to obtain the characteristic curves. According to the formula, the controller of the unit can obtain the values of the parameters t0 and tk according to the inlet temperature and the ambient temperature of the heat exchange medium obtained by detection, and automatically calculate to obtain the second threshold value P2 of the differential pressure under the working condition of compressor blockage and the first threshold value P1 of the differential pressure under the surge working condition. The execution of step S2 is performed with an interval time of a first preset duration (e.g., 10min), and when the interval time is less than the first preset duration, the P1 and P2 obtained above are calculated.
S3, detecting the high pressure PH and the low pressure PH of the system, calculating to obtain a pressure difference value delta P of the compressor, judging the relation between the delta P and a second threshold value P2 and a first threshold value P1, and executing a step S4 if the delta P is more than or equal to P2 and less than or equal to P1; if Δ P < P2, perform step S5; if Δ P > P1, step S6 is performed.
The high pressure PH is detected by a pressure sensor on a line between the compressor and the condenser, and the low pressure PL is detected by a pressure sensor on a line between the compressor and the throttle valve.
And S4, controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve to be kept unchanged.
If the pressure P is more than or equal to P2 and less than or equal to P1, the current working condition is normal, no surge or blockage exists, and the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be kept unchanged, so that the low-pressure is kept unchanged.
And S5, controlling the throttle opening to be reduced.
If the delta P is less than P2, the compressor is in a blockage condition, the opening degree of the throttle valve needs to be controlled to be reduced, and the opening degree reduction step number K1 is equal to the delta P-P2 multiplied by 0.05 multiplied by 100%.
And S6, controlling the throttle opening to increase.
If the delta P is more than P1, the compressor is in a surge condition, the opening of the throttle valve is required to be increased, and the opening increasing step number K2 is equal to the delta P-P1 multiplied by 0.05 multiplied by 100%.
