Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for discovering Faults in a cooling system with several cooling points, in which the according to a predetermined scheme most heavily loaded refrigeration point is determined.
  • the invention is based on the example of a cooling system described in a supermarket where the Cold stores are formed by individual sales counters. Chilled or frozen goods so ready that a customer can look at them and take them out of the cupboards.
  • the However, invention is not on supermarkets or the like limited, but can basically be anywhere there be used where a cooling system has multiple cooling points has operated with different loads can be. Under the term "cooling system" should fall all systems that are used for refrigeration serve, also those that you would otherwise call Freezers would designate.
  • JP-A-10 238920 describes an apparatus for discovery of errors and to predict the emergence of Errors in a refrigeration system with multiple refrigerators.
  • the method using the device assumes that an error has occurred when in a predetermined period of time in a temperature Refrigerators are not under certain predetermined temperatures can be held and if in the same period the furniture has a predetermined load value exceeds.
  • a database with load data of the individual refrigeration units of the refrigeration system at different Environmental pollution used. These data are with current exposure data under the same environmental exposure compared. If the current load data of a refrigerator over a period of deteriorated for several days over a predetermined amount then an error is predicted.
  • the environmental pollution is calculated using Temperature and humidity measurements in the building where the refrigerators are located.
  • a method of the type mentioned is from US 4,084,388.
  • the compressor arrangement should on the one hand provide so much cooling capacity that the most keep the desired temperature at the refrigerated section under load can. On the other hand, it should also no longer perform provide. In the known case, this is done by that the suction pressure of the compressor assembly is regulated becomes. This results in significant energy savings possible.
  • the invention has for its object a possible Display errors as early as possible.
  • This task is carried out in a method of the type mentioned at the beginning Kind of solved by having a stress pattern of the cooling points and if there are any deviations from the Load pattern of at least one predetermined Parameter generates a warning.
  • the "continuous" determination of the on most heavily loaded cooling point does not necessarily mean that this determination takes place continuously over time. It Rather, the determination in smaller temporal is sufficient Perform intervals, the time intervals adapted to the thermal time constant of the cooling system should be.
  • an error is not due to elements the cooling system itself, but by human misconduct.
  • the door left on a refrigerated display case or in a cold room Another example using a temperature warning system cannot be recorded immediately, is the false stacking of goods, where goods are in one Refrigerated display case are stacked too high, so that the cold layer not be maintained in the showcase can.
  • the showcase is therefore uneconomical, because surrounding warm air flows into the refrigerated display case and must be cooled.
  • the refrigerated display case must therefore provide more cooling capacity to the desired temperature to keep.
  • the load criterion is preferably used a temperature-dependent variable at the cooling point.
  • a temperature dependent size can be done with relatively simple Determine measures, namely with a temperature sensor, which is almost always already there. There are therefore no interference in the refrigerant circuit necessary.
  • T V is the temperature at the cold store, for example in the refrigerated display case
  • T CutOut a temperature at which the cold store is switched off
  • T CutIn the temperature at which the cold store is switched on.
  • ⁇ T REL expresses the deviation from the temperature T CutOut to the current cooling point, weighted in relation to the distance between the temperatures T CutIn and T CutOut .
  • This filter eliminates sudden changes in the load expression.
  • the times are preferably added up for each cooling point, in which the cooling point in question as the most polluted refrigeration point is considered. This simplifies the evaluation and creation of a load pattern. It is only checked how long a cold store as the most heavily used cold store can be seen. Only these times are then for the Evaluation used.
  • An immediate warning is preferably generated, if a refrigeration point has more than a predetermined one contiguous period the most stressed Cold spot is. This can indicate a mistake which should be checked as soon as possible.
  • the predetermined continuous period of time can for example be on the order of an hour. On Such errors result, for example, when the door of a cold room or a refrigerated display case open has been left or goods in the refrigerated display case have been piled high. Such a mistake not immediately noticeable. But it has the consequence that the corresponding cooling point over a relative long term as the most heavily used refrigeration point must be viewed. In this case, a Warning issued to the operator of the cooling system has the possibility of an intervention.
  • a long-term warning can be given generated when a refrigeration point over more than a predetermined portion of a predetermined period is the most polluted refrigeration point.
  • a predetermined Period for example during opening hours a supermarket of 12 hours, that each cold spot has a certain percentage the times when it was the most stressful Cold spot is. Due to different positions or different loads of course, the proportions of the individual cooling points somewhat move. This statistical division can be broken down into in most cases arithmetically or by trying it out determine. If this division is something changes without external influences such as regrouping of the display cases or the like, can be seen, then this indicates a developing error, which must be examined and, if necessary, eliminated.
  • the stress pattern remains unchanged over time. smaller Fluctuations are of course possible at any time without these must immediately indicate an error. If however, if there are major deviations, then interpret this indicates an error that must be warned of. You can do this for consecutive periods, for example, successive sales days a supermarket, compare them. One can but also compare other periods with each other, for example all assembly, Tuesdays, etc. For larger ones However, there are differences in time intervals the stress patterns more noticeable. You have to choose the intervals so that a warning is generated early enough, but differences are clear become recognizable when they occur.
  • cooling system 1 shows a cooling system 1 with a cooling circuit, the three connected in parallel in the present case Has cooling points 2, 3, 4.
  • the evaporators are connected to a compressor system 8, which in turn is connected to a capacitor 9 are, which has a plurality of fans 10 to heat dissipate.
  • the capacitor 9 is connected to a collector 11 connected.
  • the compressor system 8 and the condenser are controlled by a control unit 13, for example with the help of a pressure sensor 12 the condenser pressure regulates.
  • the entire cooling system is operated by a central control unit 14 controlled and / or monitored.
  • a coolant in the gas phase is in compresses the compressors 8. His temperature rises on.
  • the heated, compressed gas is through the Condenser 9 passed. There with the help of the fans 10 dissipated heat so that the gas liquefies.
  • the liquid coolant is in the collector 11 collected, which acts as a coolant buffer. From the Collector 11 passes the coolant through the expansion valves 5a, 5b, 5c in the evaporators 6a, 6b, 6c, where it evaporates from the environment with heat absorption, in turn as a gaseous coolant to the compressors reach.
  • Each cooling point 2, 3, 4 is now assigned by the Evaporator control unit 7a, 7b, 7c controlled.
  • each Control unit 7 controls the expansion valve in dependence from the temperature with a temperature sensor 15 is determined in the following manner based on 2 is to be explained.
  • the temperature sensor 15 determines a temperature T V , for example the temperature in a refrigerated display case. Two temperatures T CutIn and T CutOut are specified . As long as T V is less than T CutIn , there is no cooling (t ⁇ t 2 in FIG. 2), ie no coolant is passed into the evaporator 6. If T V exceeds the temperature T CutIn , the cooling of the cooling point begins (t 2 ⁇ t ⁇ t 3 ) and coolant is introduced into the evaporator 6. Cooling continues until T V falls below T CutOut again. At this moment (t 3 ) the expansion valve 5 will close and only open when T V again exceeds the temperature T CutIn .
  • the evaporator is in the T CutIn state when it cools and in the T CutOut state when there is no cooling.
  • Defrosting can be done in different ways, for example by electrical heating of those surrounding the evaporator 6 Air, or by hot refrigerant, which is not shown in more detail, but is known per se.
  • the hoarfrost which sits on and around the evaporator will melt in the process. This state of Evaporator during defrosting is called defrosting.
  • the cooling point is in a closed state, for example when it is turned off, or it can be loaded with sensor errors, which the Evaporator control unit 7 can determine each.
  • the compressor control unit 13 regulates on the basis of the Suction pressure, which is determined by the sensor 12, the capacity of the compressor system.
  • the compressor capacity the system is increased or decreased, depending from that for maintaining the desired suction pressure required capacity.
  • the compressor control unit 13 also controls the fans 10, i.e. the ventilation system, thus the desired pressure in the condenser is maintained. This pressure can be caused by a Increase or decrease in airflow over the capacitor can be reached to a sufficient level To achieve heat emission to the environment.
  • the central control unit 14 identifies the am most heavily loaded refrigeration point based on that determined by the respective evaporator control unit 7 Load, which is explained below and warns an operator after also specified below Principles.
  • a cooling system can also be in the same state work more or less states, for example with suction pressure control or modulating thermostat control, where the degree of filling of the evaporator 6 is regulated to a predetermined temperature, on systems on which the evaporator, the compressor systems and condenser ventilation from a central one Control unit can be controlled, or on other types of cooling systems, for example brine systems or Forced circulation systems.
  • the basis of the warning generation is the load on each individual cooling point.
  • the determination of the load takes place in the control unit 7 of each individual cooling point 2, 3, 4 and the difference between the desired temperature and the current temperature at the cooling point, ie T V , is used as the starting point.
  • T V the difference between the desired temperature and the current temperature at the cooling point
  • the design of the cooling system often decides how the load must be determined. However, it is not critical for the present invention how the current load is actually determined.
  • Fig. 3 shows schematically how the load is determined at each individual cooling point 2-4.
  • the cooling point is defrosting, i.e. is in the defrosting state. If the cooling point is currently in the defrosting state, go back to the beginning of the diagram. If the cooling point is not in the defrosting process, check whether it is in the T CutIn state, i.e. is currently cooling. If this is not the case, the load is set to zero. This also applies if, for another reason, it cannot be positively determined that the cooling point is in the T CutIn state.
  • the load is determined according to the following scheme.
  • this expression could already be used as a value for the load.
  • the calculation of the load expression is provided with a simple filter which avoids such sudden changes.
  • L Old is the load on refrigeration point 2-4, as it resulted from the previous run. Then the current load L New is saved.
  • Fig. 3 The scheme shown in Fig. 3 is predetermined go through small intervals. It's not necessary, that one run connects seamlessly to the other. This scheme is local to every evaporator control unit 7 settled. At the start of this flow chart is still the temperature and the control state registered. This step can also be done elsewhere this flowchart.
  • the central control unit 14 searches again for the most heavily loaded cooling point. Here, it simply compares the load information provided by the evaporator control units 7.
  • a loading time t MLC is calculated from the previously stored time and the now determined time. This loading time t MLC is then checked to determine whether it exceeds a predetermined maximum value t LIMIT . Such a maximum value t LIMIT is typically one hour. If this value has been exceeded, a warning is issued. Such a warning may indicate, for example, that the door to a cold store or showcase has been left open or that goods in a showcase are stacked too high.
  • the stored data are processed statistically, i.e. the duration is saved for the individual cooling point their exposure time. But this always only applies for the most heavily used refrigeration point.
  • This warning informs the operator of the cooling system that there may be a problem. In most cases, he can solve this problem through a Maintenance or through a change in the cooling point itself, for example closing a door or the Modify a stack of goods, help.
  • Other typical Errors such as a damaged fan, a damaged defrost heating element, a loss of Coolant filling are also detectable.
  • Errors are characterized by the fact that a cooling point or a group of cooling points the desired temperature can only keep up with problems and therefore more often than the others as the most heavily used refrigeration point is identified.
