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.
The invention provides a multi-module water chilling unit scheduling control strategy with natural cooling, which is characterized in that the control strategy is used for cooperatively scheduling multiple modules of a unit by detecting and judging the accumulated operation time of each module, so that the unit stably operates under all working conditions, and meanwhile, an energy-saving operation mode is selected to operate according to the load deviation of the water chilling unit, so that the operation performance is improved, and the energy consumption is further reduced.
The water chilling unit comprises a plurality of modules, each module is used as a refrigeration unit and comprises a compressor and a liquid pump, and the compressor is responsible for working in a compression refrigeration mode and a mixed refrigeration mode; the liquid pump is responsible for operating in a natural cooling mode and a hybrid cooling mode. Each module is distinguished by a dial-up address and named. For example, a binary two-dial distinguishing module may be used, with dial 00 being module one, dial 01 being module two, dial 10 being module three, dial 11 being module four, etc.
As shown in fig. 1, each module includes a compression refrigeration cycle and a natural cooling cycle. The compression refrigeration cycle is composed of a compressor 1, a condenser 2, an expansion valve 3, and an evaporator 4. In this embodiment, the compressor is an air-cooled screw chiller. The natural cooling circulation consists of a heat exchanger 5, a liquid pump 6 and a surface cooler 7. In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 5 is a plate heat exchanger, and is disposed in a return pipe of chilled water in the evaporator 4, and water in the natural cooling cycle exchanges heat with return water of the chilled water. The surface cooler and the condenser are arranged together and share the fan, so that the equipment cost is reduced. The cold energy generated by the natural cooling circulation is transmitted to the terminal device through the heat exchanger 5 and the chilled water pipeline.
The multi-module scheduling control method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: after starting up, the controller sequentially sends opening or loading instructions to the modules according to the accumulated operation time of the modules and the principle of 'less operation, first opening'; when the water chilling unit meets the unloading or closing condition, the unloading or closing instructions are sent to the modules in sequence according to the principle of 'multi-operation and first closing'; and if the accumulated running time of all the modules is the same, sequentially controlling according to the naming or dialing address sequence of the modules.
When a user operates and starts the computer, the controller records the accumulated operation time of each module, judges according to the accumulated operation time of each module, preferentially starts the modules with less accumulated operation time, ensures that the operation time of each module is similar, and avoids the situation that the difference of the accumulated operation time of each module is larger. If the accumulated running time of all modules is the same, the modules are started or loaded in sequence from small to large according to the naming or dialing addresses of the modules, as shown in fig. 2. When the modules meet the unloading or closing condition, the action sequence of each module is opposite to the opening/loading sequence, and the modules are unloaded or closed in sequence from a plurality of orders according to the accumulated running time of the modules. If the accumulated running time of all the modules is the same, the modules are unloaded or closed in turn according to the naming or dialing addresses of the modules from large to small, as shown in fig. 3. The action interval time of each module is not less than 2 minutes to the electric current is big when avoiding each module to start simultaneously, causes the impact to unit circuit and electric wire netting, and the interval time can set up according to particular case. If there is a fault in the module whose turn is to be turned on or the turn-on condition is not satisfied, the module following it is turned on.
And the loading and unloading of the modules are controlled according to the load deviation condition, and the modules are in standby according to the opening or closing scheduling principle.
Load adjustment of the water chilling unit: and the controller sends a loading, maintaining or unloading instruction to the compressor or the liquid pump according to the load deviation value, so that the load of the unit module is adjusted. The load deviation value is the actual refrigerating outlet water temperature (referring to the evaporator outlet water temperature) TGo outAnd the difference value of the refrigerating water outlet set temperature B. When the load deviation value is greater than the set value C, the embodiment C is 2, and loading is carried out; when the load deviation value is smaller than the set value D, if the embodiment D is 0, unloading is carried out; otherwise, the existing operation mode is maintained.
The running modes of the water chilling unit comprise: a compression refrigeration mode, a free cooling mode, and a hybrid refrigeration mode. In the compression refrigeration mode, the unit only refrigerates through the compressor, and all natural cooling liquid pumps do not work. In the natural cooling mode, the unit is refrigerated only by the liquid pump, and all compressors do not work. In the hybrid refrigeration mode, the unit liquid pump and the compressor participate in the refrigeration operation at the same time.
When the environment temperature is higher, the compressor is adopted for refrigeration to meet the requirements of users, the mode technology is mature, and the refrigeration quantity is stable; when the environmental temperature is low, a mixed refrigeration mode is adopted to utilize a natural cold source to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency; and the air conditioner enters a natural cooling mode after the environmental temperature is reduced again, the compressor is closed in the mode, the condition that the system pressure difference is low when the low-temperature compressor is used for refrigerating is avoided, the system operation stability is high, a natural cold source is fully utilized, and the energy efficiency is high.
Fig. 4 is a control flow chart of the operation mode switching of the water chilling unit. The startup and shutdown instruction is controlled by a user, the startup is coordinated according to the principle of 'less running and first startup' after standby, and the loading instruction of each module is triggered by the controller according to the load deviation.
When a user operates on a display panel to send a starting instruction, an air conditioner water pump (a user side chilled water pump, non-unit configuration and not shown in a system diagram) is immediately started to operate for a period of time delta tk, wherein the time is the advanced starting time of the air conditioner water pump and is 3min by default. And the unit controller starts to detect whether the natural cooling mode operation condition is met, and when the natural cooling mode operation condition is met, the unit enters the natural cooling mode operation, otherwise, the unit enters the compressor refrigeration mode operation. The natural cooling mode operating conditions were:
(1) the actual refrigeration outlet water temperature is greater than the refrigeration outlet water set temperature B + (the opening temperature deviation delta T3 of the air conditioner compressor/the number of the compressors) + a refrigeration correction value A;
(2) the natural cooling liquid pump is shut down for more than n1 minutes;
(3) the actual refrigeration outlet water temperature drop rate is less than or equal to the starting water temperature change rate limit value delta Tt 1;
(4) the corresponding state of the refrigeration compressor is the off state.
The above 4 conditions are simultaneously satisfied to enter the natural cooling mode for operation. In the natural cooling mode, the water chilling unit only refrigerates through the liquid pump, and all the compressors do not work.
And in the natural cooling mode, the controller sends an action instruction to the liquid pumps of each module according to the load deviation value, and after all the liquid pumps are loaded to full load and the actual refrigeration outlet water temperature still does not reach the refrigeration outlet water set temperature B, the compressor is started to enter the mixed refrigeration mode.
And when the natural cooling mode operation condition is not met after the machine is started, the machine enters a compression refrigeration mode to operate. In the compressor refrigeration mode, when the first module compressor is started to operate for 1 minute according to the initial frequency, the controller starts to detect the natural cooling function starting condition. When the refrigerating water outlet set temperature B-the ambient temperature T is detected for n1 minutes continuouslyRing (C)When the liquid pump is closed and the temperature difference is set to be delta T5-T1, in the embodiment, T1 is 5 degrees, the natural cooling liquid pump is correspondingly started, and the unit enters a mixed refrigeration mode.
In the hybrid cooling mode, the liquid pump and the compressor participate in the cooling operation at the same time. When the controller detects that the load deviation value meets the loading condition, the liquid pumps are loaded preferentially, and when all the liquid pumps are loaded to full load, the compressor is loaded. When the load deviation value meets the load unloading condition, the compressor is unloaded preferentially, the compressor keeps running after being unloaded to the minimum frequency, then the next sequential compressor is unloaded, and when all the compressors are unloaded to the minimum frequencyAfter the frequency is accumulated and the operation is carried out for n2 minutes, if the unloading condition is met, the compressors are closed in sequence, and the natural cooling mode is entered. The compressor must be run for a minimum of 3 minutes before allowing shut down. Under the mixed refrigeration mode, the controller detects the closing condition of the natural cooling liquid pump, and when the refrigeration water outlet set temperature B + the refrigeration correction value A-the environment temperature T is detected for n3 minutes continuouslyRing (C)And when the temperature difference delta T5-T2 is less than or equal to the liquid pump closing setting temperature difference, and the T2 is 10 degrees in the embodiment, unloading and closing each module liquid pump are started until all the liquid pumps are closed, and the unit is stopped to enter a standby state.

In an embodiment, the method for scheduling and controlling a multi-module chiller according to the present invention includes the following steps:
