Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, that is, to solve the problem of energy waste existing in the whole existing magnetic suspension evaporation cold direct expansion unit, the embodiment provides a control method of an evaporation condenser unit. The control method of the evaporative condenser unit will be described with reference to the magnetic levitation evaporative direct expansion unit shown in fig. 1.
In the magnetic levitation evaporation direct expansion unit shown in fig. 1, along a refrigerant circulation circuit, a refrigerant flows out from an exhaust port of a compressor 1 and flows back to an intake port of the compressor 1 through a check valve 13, an evaporation condenser 2, a liquid reservoir 3, an electric ball valve 31, an electromagnetic valve 44, a thermal expansion valve 43 (which may be an electronic expansion valve), an indoor evaporator 41, and a gas-liquid separator 5 in this order. The compressor 1 is a magnetic levitation compressor, a first pressure sensor 11 for detecting the discharge pressure of the compressor 1 is provided at the discharge port end of the compressor 1, and a second pressure sensor 12 for detecting the suction pressure of the compressor 1 is provided at the suction port end of the compressor 1. The electric ball valve 31 is used for controlling whether the refrigerant flows to a main switch in the room, each room is independently provided with a solenoid valve 44, a thermal expansion valve 43 and an indoor evaporator 41, the indoor evaporator 41 is also provided with an indoor fan 42, and the thermal expansion valve 43 and the solenoid valve 44 are used for controlling the indoor evaporator 41 in each room.
Further, the evaporative condenser unit of the present embodiment includes the above-mentioned evaporative condenser 2, and the evaporative condenser 2 includes a heat exchange coil for heat exchange between the refrigerant and the outside; the bottom of the evaporative condenser 2 is provided with a water storage tank 24, a spraying device 22 is arranged above the evaporative condenser 2, a water pump 23 is arranged between the spraying device 22 and the water storage tank 24, and an outdoor fan 21 is arranged above the spraying device 22. The evaporative condenser unit further comprises a first temperature sensor 25 for monitoring the temperature of the external environment and a second temperature sensor for monitoring the water temperature of the water storage tank 24.
Further, a bypass solenoid valve 15 and a bypass expansion valve 16 are also provided in parallel between the discharge port of the compressor 1 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 5, and the bypass solenoid valve 15 may be opened to reduce the ratio of the discharge pressure to the suction pressure of the compressor 1 as needed. In addition, when the magnetic suspension evaporation cold direct expansion unit is stopped, part of refrigerant flows back to the compressor through the bypass expansion valve 16, so that the purpose of assisting the stopping of the compressor 1 is achieved. A load balancing valve 14 is also arranged between the outlet of the one-way valve 13 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 5, and is mainly used for energy adjustment and surge control of the compressor 1. The magnetic levitation compressor can set a target suction pressure value through a touch panel, and control the suction pressure of the suction port to thereby control the evaporation pressure of the indoor evaporator 41. Meanwhile, energy adjustment is carried out according to the suction pressure, so that the aim of reducing the indoor temperature to the required temperature can be fulfilled.
The liquid refrigerant led out from the liquid reservoir 3 enters two cooling circuits respectively, one is a liquid spray cooling circuit of the compressor 1, and the other is a cooling circuit which passes through the cooling expansion valve 32 to the gas-liquid separator 5 so as to adjust when the suction superheat of the gas-liquid separator 5 is too high.
In the magnetic levitation evaporation direct expansion unit shown in fig. 1, the compressor 1 can control the indoor evaporator 41 at the indoor side through only one communication line. Only the communication line is needed to know whether the indoor evaporator 41 is running or is completely closed, and the number and the state of the indoor evaporators 41 running on the specific indoor side are not needed to be known, so that the control process of the suspension evaporation direct expansion unit is simplified.
In the control method of the evaporative condenser unit provided by the embodiment, the evaporative condenser unit comprises a heat exchange coil connected to a refrigerant circulation system and an outdoor fan 21 for cooling the heat exchange coil; as shown in fig. 2, the control method includes:
s101, acquiring the current external environment temperature, the current discharge pressure and the current suction pressure of the compressor 1 in the refrigerant circulation system.
Illustratively, the current ambient temperature may be obtained by the first temperature sensor 25 in fig. 1, the current discharge pressure of the compressor 1 may be obtained by the first pressure sensor 11, and the current suction pressure of the compressor 1 may be obtained by the second pressure sensor 12.
S102, determining a current pressure ratio based on the ratio of the current exhaust pressure to the current suction pressure.
For example, the ratio of the current discharge pressure to the current suction pressure may be directly referred to as the current pressure ratio, or the ratio of the current discharge pressure to the current suction pressure may be corrected to be referred to as the current pressure ratio.
And S103, controlling the outdoor fan 21 based on the current pressure ratio and the current external environment temperature.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in the present embodiment, step S103 may include: controlling the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21 based on the current pressure ratio and in combination with a first mapping relation between the pre-established current pressure ratio and the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21; in the first map, there is a positive correlation between the rotational speed of the outdoor fan 21 and the pressure ratio.
It can be understood that the larger the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21 is, the larger the power consumption is, and the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21 is controlled according to the current pressure ratio, so that the aim of saving energy when meeting the cooling requirement can be achieved. Meanwhile, a positive correlation between the rotation speed and the pressure ratio of the outdoor fan 21 can be interpreted as any one of the following: 1) The rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21 increases with the increase of the pressure ratio and has a step-up trend; 2) The rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21 is in a proportional increasing function relation with the increase of the pressure ratio; 3) The implementation of a positive correlation between the rotational speed of the outdoor fan 21 and the pressure ratio is not limited to the description herein, and the rotational speed of the outdoor fan 21 increases with the increase of the pressure ratio, and the like, as exemplified herein. The first mapping relation can be expressed in the form of a table or a function. In the first mapping relationship, when the current pressure ratio is smaller than a certain threshold, the outdoor fan 21 may be turned off, i.e. the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 21 is controlled to be 0.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in the present embodiment, step S103 includes: s1031, determining the lowest set pressure ratio of the discharge pressure and the suction pressure of the compressor under the current external environment temperature condition based on the current external environment temperature; s1032, calculating an actual pressure ratio difference value between the current pressure ratio and the lowest set pressure ratio; s1033, comparing the actual pressure ratio difference with a first preset pressure ratio difference and a second preset pressure ratio difference respectively; the first preset pressure ratio difference is smaller than the second preset pressure ratio difference, and the first preset pressure ratio difference and the second preset pressure ratio difference can be determined according to experience or experiments; s1034, if the actual pressure ratio difference is smaller than the first preset pressure ratio difference, it indicates that the evaporative condenser 2 has excellent cooling effect in the current external environment temperature, for example, in extremely cold environments such as winter, even if the outdoor fan 21 is turned off, the outdoor fan 21 can be turned off; and if the actual pressure ratio difference is greater than the second preset pressure ratio difference, the outdoor fan 21 is turned on.
Illustratively, in step S1031, the current wet bulb temperature may be calculated by combining the current external environment temperature with the relative humidity (checked by table look-up) of the current season of the area, then the saturated condensing temperature of the evaporative condenser 2 is determined according to the sum of the current wet bulb temperature and the approaching temperature of the evaporative condenser 2 (determined by the cooling performance of the evaporative condenser 2 itself), then the saturated condensing temperature of the evaporative condenser 2 is converted into the condensing pressure, and the ratio of the condensing pressure to the evaporating pressure is taken as the lowest set pressure ratio of the exhaust pressure to the suction pressure of the compressor under the current external environment temperature condition.
As a preferred embodiment of the above control method provided in the present embodiment, as a control method for the outdoor fan 21 that can be used alone or in combination with the above steps S101 to S103, the control method in the present embodiment further includes: s201, acquiring the current water temperature of the water storage tank 24; s202, determining the lowest set water temperature of the water storage tank 24 under the current external environment temperature condition based on the current external environment temperature; s203, calculating the actual temperature difference between the current water temperature and the lowest set water temperature; comparing the actual temperature difference with a first preset temperature difference and a second preset temperature difference respectively; wherein the first preset temperature difference is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference; s204, if the actual temperature difference is smaller than the first preset temperature difference, the outdoor fan 21 is turned off, and if the actual temperature difference is larger than the second preset temperature difference, the outdoor fan 21 is turned on.
Illustratively, in step S201, the current water temperature of the water storage tank 24 may be obtained by the second temperature sensor 26. In step S202, the current wet bulb temperature may be calculated by combining the current external environment temperature with the current seasonal relative humidity (checked by table look-up) of the area, and the wet bulb temperature is the lowest set water temperature of the water tank 24 under the current external environment temperature condition. In step S203, the first preset temperature difference and the second preset temperature difference may be determined empirically or experimentally.
As a preferred implementation of the control method provided in the present embodiment, in the control method, the outdoor fan 21 is turned on as long as one of the following conditions is satisfied: 1) The actual pressure ratio difference is greater than the second preset pressure ratio difference; 2) The outdoor fan 21 is turned on when the actual temperature difference is greater than the second preset temperature difference.
Therefore, the opening and closing of the outdoor fan 21 are controlled based on the lowest set pressure ratio of the exhaust pressure and the suction pressure of the compressor and the lowest set water temperature of the water storage tank under the current external environment temperature condition, so that the outdoor fan 21 can ensure better energy-saving effect when the evaporative condenser unit is ensured to normally operate.
It can be understood that in the control method of the evaporative condenser unit provided in this embodiment, the energy-saving control is performed on the outdoor fan 21 in combination with the external environment temperature and the local humidity condition. Different wet bulb temperatures and the lowest temperature to which the water storage tank 24 can be lowered are available under different external environment temperatures, and the temperature of the outdoor fan 21 is higher than the lowest temperature, otherwise the outdoor fan 21 is always started but the cooling effect is small, so that energy waste is caused. The operation of the evaporative condenser assembly can be made more reliable if the determination of the opening and closing of the outdoor fan 21 is made in combination with the ratio of the discharge pressure to the suction pressure of the compressor 1.
According to the control method of the evaporative condenser unit, the outdoor fan 21 is controlled based on the current pressure ratio and the current external environment temperature, and when the natural cooling effect can meet the requirement of normal operation of the evaporative condenser unit, the outdoor fan 21 is closed to save energy; and the outdoor fan 21 is turned on as needed to enable the evaporative condenser set to operate normally. Therefore, the normal operation of the suspension evaporation direct expansion unit is ensured, and the problem of energy waste can be avoided.
As a preferred implementation manner of the control method provided in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the evaporative condenser unit further includes a spraying device 22 for cooling the heat exchange coil, the spraying device 22 is connected to the water storage tank 24 through a water pump 23, and the spraying device 22 is configured to return water to the water storage tank 24 after the sprayed water cools the heat exchange coil, where the control method in this embodiment further includes: and S3, controlling the water pump 23 based on the current exhaust pressure, the current pressure ratio and the current external environment temperature.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in the present embodiment, in step S3, in the case where the current exhaust pressure is greater than the first preset exhaust pressure threshold, the water pump 23 is turned on as long as one of the following conditions is satisfied: 1) The current pressure ratio is greater than a first preset pressure ratio threshold; 2) The current exhaust pressure is greater than a second preset exhaust pressure threshold; wherein the second preset exhaust pressure threshold is greater than the first preset exhaust pressure threshold.
It will be appreciated that the combination of the first preset exhaust pressure threshold, the first preset pressure ratio threshold, and the second preset exhaust pressure threshold as the basis for determining that the water pump 23 is on may enable the evaporative condenser unit to operate more reliably and with less energy.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided by the present embodiment, in step S3, in the case where the current exhaust pressure is smaller than the first preset pressure ratio threshold, the water pump 23 is turned off as long as one of the following conditions is satisfied: 1) The current exhaust pressure is less than a third exhaust pressure threshold, which is less than the first exhaust pressure threshold and the second exhaust pressure threshold; 2) The current pressure ratio is less than a second preset pressure ratio threshold that is less than the first preset pressure ratio threshold.
It will be appreciated that the combination of the first preset pressure ratio threshold, the third exhaust pressure threshold, and the second preset pressure ratio threshold as a basis for determining that the water pump 23 is off may enable more reliable and energy-efficient operation of the evaporative condenser unit.
As a preferred implementation manner of the control method provided in this embodiment, the first preset exhaust pressure threshold value, the second preset exhaust pressure threshold value, and the third preset exhaust pressure threshold value are respectively determined based on the current external environment temperature and in combination with a second mapping relationship between the pre-established external environment temperature and the first preset exhaust pressure threshold value, the second preset exhaust pressure threshold value, and the third preset exhaust pressure threshold value; and in the second mapping relation, the first preset exhaust pressure threshold value, the second preset exhaust pressure threshold value and the third preset exhaust pressure threshold value are positively correlated with the current external environment temperature. The second mapping relationship can be expressed in the form of a table or a function.
As a preferred implementation of the control method provided in this embodiment, in step S3, the rotation speed of the water pump 23 may also be controlled based on the current exhaust pressure and the current pressure ratio, and in combination with a third mapping relationship between the current exhaust pressure and the current pressure ratio and the rotation speed of the water pump 23 under different pre-established external ambient temperature conditions. The second mapping relationship can be expressed in the form of a table or a function.
According to the control method of the evaporative condenser unit of the embodiment, the water pump 23 is controlled based on the current exhaust pressure, the current pressure ratio and the current external environment temperature, when the current exhaust pressure and the current pressure ratio are lower than the preset values, the fact that the cooling by the outdoor fan 21 cannot meet the normal operation requirement of the evaporative condenser unit is indicated, at the moment, the water pump 23 can be started and the heat exchange coil is cooled by spraying by the spraying device, so that the normal operation of the evaporative condenser unit is ensured.
