The inlet of the second heat exchange pipeline of the regenerator 11 is provided with a regenerative control valve 14, and the regenerative control valve 14 is kept closed when all the evaporators of the evaporator group 6 are in the refrigeration working condition.
As shown in FIG. 1, for example, an evaporator group comprises four evaporators 6-1 to 6-4, liquid supply electromagnetic valves of the four evaporators are 7-1 to 7-4 from left to right, liquid return electromagnetic valves are 8-1 to 8-4 from left to right, defrosting electromagnetic valves are 9-1 to 9-4 from left to right, and air return electromagnetic valves are 10-1 to 10-4 from right to left, and the working flow of the refrigeration system is as follows.
All evaporators are in a refrigeration mode, liquid supply electromagnetic valves 7-1-7-4 are opened, liquid return electromagnetic valves 8-1-8-4 are closed, defrosting electromagnetic valves 9-1-9-4 are closed, air return electromagnetic valves 10-1-10-4 are opened, and heat return control valves and bypass valves are closed. The refrigerant flow direction is as follows: high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the second compressor 2 → the second oil separator 4 → the condenser 5 → the regenerator 11 → the liquid supply solenoid valve → the throttle valve → the evaporator → the air return solenoid valve → the suction port of the first compressor 1 → the first oil separator 3 → the suction port of the second compressor 2.
Part of evaporators enter a defrosting working condition, and the other part of evaporators are in a refrigeration mode, taking the evaporator 5-1 for defrosting and the evaporators 5-2, 5-3 and 5-4 for refrigeration as an example: the defrosting electromagnetic valve 9-1 is opened, and the defrosting electromagnetic valves 9-2, 9-3 and 9-4 are closed; the liquid supply electromagnetic valve 7-1 is closed, and the liquid supply electromagnetic valves 7-2, 7-3 and 7-4 are opened; the liquid return electromagnetic valve 8-1 is opened, the liquid return electromagnetic valves 8-2, 8-3 and 8-4 are closed, the heat return control valve 14 is opened, and the bypass valve 13 is opened when the heat load of the refrigeration system is not large. The refrigerant flow direction in the refrigeration mode is as follows: high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the second compressor 2 → the second oil separator 4 → the condenser 5 → the regenerator 11 → the liquid supply solenoid valve → the throttle valve → the evaporator → the air return solenoid valve → the suction port of the first compressor 1 → the first oil separator 3 → the suction port of the second compressor 2; the refrigerant flow direction of the defrosting working condition is as follows: high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the second compressor 2 → the second oil separator 4 → the defrosting solenoid valve → the evaporator → the check valve → the liquid return solenoid valve → the regenerative control valve → the auxiliary heat exchanger 12 → the regenerator 11 → the suction port of the first compressor 1 → the first oil separator 3 → the suction port of the second compressor 2.
The invention also provides a defrosting control method of the refrigerating system, which comprises the following steps:
judging whether an evaporator reaches a defrosting starting condition or not;
if yes, the evaporator which reaches the defrosting starting condition is used as an undetermined evaporator, the evaporator which is in the refrigerating condition and does not reach the defrosting starting condition is used as a refrigerating evaporator, whether the ratio of the sum of the number of the undetermined evaporators to the sum of the number of the refrigerating evaporators exceeds a set ratio is judged, if yes, part of evaporators are selected from the standby evaporators to be forced to enter the refrigerating working condition, then all the undetermined evaporators are started to enter the defrosting working condition, and if not, all the undetermined evaporators are directly started to enter the defrosting working condition.
According to the defrosting control method, according to the proportional relation between the sum of the number of evaporators to be determined reaching the defrosting starting condition and the sum of the number of refrigeration evaporators, when the preset proportion is exceeded, the number of the current refrigeration evaporators is insufficient, and the provided cold quantity is insufficient to maintain the stable temperature of the refrigeration house, so that part of evaporators are selected from standby evaporators to be forced to enter a refrigeration working condition, then all evaporators to be determined are started to enter the defrosting working condition, the defrosting speed is accelerated, the stable temperature of the refrigeration house is ensured, and the use effect of the refrigeration house is improved. More importantly, the statistics of the number of the undetermined evaporators and the number of the refrigeration evaporators are easy to realize, detection parts such as sensors do not need to be additionally arranged, the calculation logic is simple, the cost is low, and the implementation and the popularization are easy.
In some embodiments, selecting a portion of the evaporators to enter a defrost condition in a standby evaporator comprises:
dividing the sum of the number of the evaporators to be determined by a set proportion to obtain a preliminary result, and rounding the preliminary result upwards to obtain the sum of the number of the target refrigeration evaporators;
calculating the difference value of the sum of the number of the target refrigeration evaporators and the sum of the number of the refrigeration evaporators;
and selecting a corresponding evaporator from the standby evaporators to forcibly enter a refrigeration working condition randomly according to the difference or according to the priority. It should be understood that, when a corresponding evaporator is selected from the standby evaporators according to the priority, the priority may be a pre-designed fixed priority, a dynamic priority sorted according to the temperature difference between the ambient temperature in the room where the evaporator is located and the set temperature value, or a dynamic priority sorted according to the size of other operating parameters of the evaporator, which is not limited in this respect.
In some embodiments, the defrost control method further comprises:
starting all evaporators to be determined to enter a defrosting working condition;
judging whether an evaporator to be determined reaches a defrosting ending condition or not;
if yes, the undetermined evaporators finish the defrosting condition, the refrigeration evaporators forcibly entering the refrigeration condition are recovered to be standby, whether all the undetermined evaporators finish the defrosting condition is judged, if not, whether the ratio of the sum of the number of the remaining undetermined evaporators to the sum of the number of the refrigeration evaporators exceeds a set ratio is judged, and if yes, whether any evaporator reaches the defrosting starting condition is judged.
It should be understood that in the defrosting control method, as the undetermined evaporators gradually complete defrosting, the number of the remaining undetermined evaporators is less and less, and the ratio of the sum of the number of all the remaining undetermined evaporators to the sum of the number of the refrigeration evaporators is inevitably smaller than or equal to a set proportion, that is, all the remaining undetermined evaporators are directly started to enter a defrosting condition in the later defrosting stage.
In some embodiments, the defrost control method further comprises:
after all the evaporators to be determined are started to enter a defrosting condition;
judging whether the opening of the throttle valve of more than half of the refrigeration evaporators is smaller than a set opening;
if so, indicating that the heat load of the current refrigerating system is not large, and the cold energy provided by the first heat exchange pipeline of the heat regenerator is surplus, opening the bypass valve at the moment, sending part of the refrigerant flowing out of the first heat exchange pipeline of the heat regenerator back to the inlet of the condenser, and mixing the part of the refrigerant with the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the second compressor for cooling so as to reduce the load of the condenser;
