Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for evaluating a non-measured operating variable in a refrigeration system, which can be derived from at least one signal that is sampled at predetermined times.
- This information is primarily temperature information. However, information about pressures or refrigerant or air flows that you want to evaluate is also possible. Occasionally, information is also obtained indirectly, for example pressure information via temperature information. Such information is not only used to control the refrigeration system, but also to identify errors as early as possible, i.e. so early that the goods to be cooled are not yet damaged. It is also favorable to detect at a point in time when there has not yet been any appreciable temperature increase, but the refrigeration system is heavily burdened by non-optimal operation.
- the signals change relatively slowly in a refrigeration system. It is therefore difficult to identify a trend when the signals move into an area that could indicate an error. Because the signals Determined by sensors that evaluate the relevant physical quantities at predetermined times, or a permanently determined signal is only sampled at predetermined times, it often happens that the signal curve appears as a "high-frequency" curve shape, ie the mean value of the signal does indeed exist the course of the determined physical quantity again. However, the size is shown with sometimes significant swings up and down, which further complicates the evaluation. This applies in particular when the signal has come about by forming a difference, for example in order to determine a temperature difference via a heat exchanger.
- the term "high frequency" is naturally meant here relatively. The frequency is high, measured by the rate of change of physical quantities, such as temperature, in a refrigeration system.
- the object of the invention is to be able to detect an error at an early stage.
- the error indicator is set to a default value at a first point in time
- the error indicator is set to the value of the sum if the sum is greater than the preset value and to the preset value if the sum is less than or equal to the preset value.
- the default value is preferably zero.
- the deviation from the value zero can be recognized relatively easily.
- the determination of the error indicator is simplified.
- the error indicator of the last point in time is preferably used to form the sum.
- the error indicator is therefore updated from sampling time to sampling time. This enables fast response times and allows the error indicator to be continuously formed, so to speak.
- the estimated value is preferably determined experimentally when the refrigeration system is operating correctly. If the refrigeration system runs without errors over a predetermined period of time, for example 100 minutes, it can be assumed that an average value determined in this way is representative of error-free operation. During further operation of the refrigeration system, this estimate can then be used to form the error indicator.
- a residual is preferably used to form the first derived variable, which is formed by a difference between the estimated value or a second variable derived therefrom and a signal-dependent variable.
- the estimated value or the second variable derived therefrom, in the derivation of which signal-dependent components can also flow, is then, so to speak, an output value with which the signal-dependent variable is compared.
- the difference is the residual. In the undisturbed case, the residual is around the value
- the first derived variable is preferably formed from the difference of the residual and a predetermined reliability value, the difference being multiplied by a proportionality constant becomes. This procedure corrects the residual so that larger fluctuations are allowed.
- the reliability value is subtracted from the residual at every sampling time or at every time of the evaluation. The situation will often arise in the error-free operation that the derived variable has a value less than zero. If, on the other hand, the residual is permanently greater than the predetermined reliability value, then the error indicator will increase, which indicates an error. If you use the absolute value of the residual, you get an increase in the error indicator even with a residual that is too small in the long run.
- the company size is preferably used as the
- the air mass flow is an important parameter for the operation of the refrigeration system. For example, in sales freezers it is used to transport the actual "cold" to the products to be cooled. Vending cabinets are used in a supermarket to keep chilled or frozen products ready for sale. In order to keep these products at the desired low temperature, an air flow is continuously or intermittently passed over a storage room in which the products are arranged. The cooled air then sinks partially into the storage room. A disturbance in the air flow can lead to considerable problems. In the worst case, not enough cold is transported to the products, so that their temperature increases. If you only recognize an error at this point, it is too late. The products are often already spoiled.
- Early detection of an error is therefore of particular importance here. Early detection is also an advantage because it can prevent the refrigeration system from being overloaded. If, for example, the evaporator becomes clogged with ice and only a reduced heat transfer from the refrigerant to the air is possible, sufficient cooling capacity will still be able to be transferred to the air over a certain period of time. However, the refrigeration system must work with a higher output, which can have a negative effect on the service life and operational reliability. The same applies if one of several fans fails, which conveys the air through an air duct and over the products to be cooled. The remaining blowers are generally able to convey air in an amount sufficient to cool the products. However, the blowers are disproportionately stressed because they are operated more or longer. If you can detect a disturbance in the air flow at an early stage and generate an error message, then such problems will only occur to a reduced extent.
- the size of the first media stream is calculated from a heat transfer between the first media stream and a second media stream of a heat or cooling medium in a heat exchanger. It is assumed that the heat that the first measurement service flow, for example from the air, is completely transferred to the second media flow, for example the refrigerant in the heat exchanger. If you determine the heat content of the refrigerant upstream and downstream of the heat exchanger, you can use this to calculate the mass per time of the air that has passed through if you know the enthalpy difference of the air through the heat exchanger.
- the second derived variable is preferably the change in the enthalpy of the first media stream via the heat exchanger.
- the enthalpy of the first media stream allows a statement about the heat content of the first media stream. If one determines the change in enthalpy, then one determines the change in the heat content via the heat exchanger. Since this heat content is completely from the second media stream, e.g. the refrigerant to be dispensed, the necessary information about the operating size of the first media stream, e.g. of the air flow.
- the signal-dependent variable is preferably the change in the enthalpy of the second media stream via the heat exchanger. As stated above, it is assumed that the heat that is taken from the first media stream in the heat exchanger is completely transferred to the second media stream. If one now determines the change in the enthalpy of the second media stream, then one obtains the information about the change in the enthalpy of the first media stream. To determine the enthalpy of the second media flow, a mass flow and a specific enthalpy difference of the second media flow are preferably determined via the heat exchanger. The enthalpy is a product of the mass flow and the specific enthalpy difference.
- the specific enthalpy difference results from the specific enthalpy of the second media flow, for example the refrigerant, upstream and downstream of the heat exchanger.
- the specific enthalpy of a refrigerant is a substance and condition property and varies from refrigerant to refrigerant.
- the refrigerant manufacturers generally provide so-called log p, h diagrams for each refrigerant.
- the specific containment of the refrigerant can be determined using such diagrams. You need the temperature and pressure at the expansion valve inlet. These quantities can be measured with the help of a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor.
- the specific enthalpy at the evaporator outlet is determined with the aid of two measured values: on the one hand the temperature at the evaporator outlet and on the other hand either the pressure at the evaporator outlet or the boiling temperature.
- the temperature at the evaporator outlet can be measured with a temperature sensor and the pressure at the evaporator outlet can be measured with a pressure sensor.
- the refrigerant manufacturers also provide state equations for the refrigerant.
- the second media flow is preferably determined from a pressure difference above and the degree of opening of an expansion valve.
- the flow is in many cases proportional to the degree of opening of the expansion valve, particularly in systems with electronically controlled expansion valves.
- the degree of opening corresponds to the opening time.
- the pressure difference across the valve and, if necessary, the subcooling of the refrigerant at the valve inlet are required. These values are available in most systems because there are pressure sensors available that measure the pressure in the condenser or condenser and the pressure in the evaporator. In many cases, hypothermia is negligible and therefore does not need to be measured separately.
- the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the valve can then be calculated using a valve characteristic, the pressure difference and the degree of opening or the duration of the opening.
- the second media flow can be determined from operating data and a difference in the absolute pressures via a compressor together with the temperature at the inlet of the compressor.
- the operating data are, for example, the speed and / or the drive power of the compressor.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing sizes around a heat exchanger
- Fig. 6 shows the error indicator for the second error case.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a refrigeration system 1 in the form of a freezer, as is used, for example, in supermarkets to sell chilled or frozen food.
- the refrigeration system 1 has a storage room 2 in which the food is stored.
- An air duct 3 is led around the storage space 2, ie it is located on both sides and below the storage space 2.
- an air flow 4 arrives in a cooling zone 5 above the storage space 2
- the air is then guided back to the entrance of the air duct 3, where a mixing zone 6 is located.
- the air flow 4 is exercise air mixed. For example, the cooled air that has entered the storage space 2 or has otherwise disappeared into the environment is replaced.
- a blower arrangement 7 is arranged in the air duct 3 and can be formed by one or more fans.
- the blower arrangement 7 ensures that the air flow 4 can be moved in the air duct 3.
- the blower arrangement 7 drives the air flow 4 in such a way that the mass of the air per time which is moved through the air duct 3 is constant as long as the blower arrangement 7 is running and the system is working correctly.
- An evaporator 8 of a refrigerant circuit is arranged in the air duct 3.
- Refrigerant from a condenser or condenser 10 is supplied to the evaporator 8 through an expansion valve 9.
- the condenser 10 is supplied by a compressor or compressor 11, the input of which is in turn connected to the evaporator 8, so that the refrigerant is circulated in a manner known per se.
- the condenser 10 is provided with a blower 12, with the aid of which air can be blown from the surroundings via the condenser 10 in order to dissipate heat there.
- a refrigerant circulates in the system.
- the refrigerant leaves the compressor 11 as a gas under high pressure and at a high temperature.
- the refrigerant is liquefied in the condenser 10, whereby it Emits heat.
- the refrigerant passes through the expansion valve 9, where it is expanded.
- the refrigerant is two-phase, ie liquid and gaseous.
- the two-phase refrigerant is supplied to the evaporator 8.
- the liquid phase evaporates there with heat absorption, the heat being removed from the air stream 4.
- the refrigerant After the remaining refrigerant has evaporated, the refrigerant is still slightly warmed and comes out of the evaporator 8 as a superheated gas. Then it is fed back to the compressor 11 and compressed there.
- Temperature in the storage room 2 does not rise above a permitted value. However, this places a heavy load on the refrigeration system, which can result in late damage. For example, elements of the refrigeration system, such as fans, are put into operation more often. Another fault is, for example, icing of the evaporator due to moisture from the ambient air, which is deposited on the evaporator.
- the monitoring can be carried out in a clocked manner, that is to say at successive points in time, which have a time interval of the order of one minute, for example.
- the determination of the mass per time of the air flow 4 with normal measuring devices is relatively complex. An indirect measurement is therefore used in that the heat content of the refrigerant, which the refrigerant has absorbed in the evaporator 8, is determined.
- This equation can be used to determine the actual value for the mass flow, ie the mass per time, for the air flowing through the air duct 3 if the heat absorbed by the refrigerant can be determined.
- the actual mass flow of air can then be compared with a setpoint. If the actual value does not match the setpoint, this is interpreted as an error, ie as a disabled air flow 4.
- a corresponding error message for the system can be output.
- the basis for the determination of ß Re f is the following equation:
- m Ref is the mass of refrigerant per time that flows through the evaporator.
- h Re f, ot is the specific enthalpy of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet and h Ref , i n is the specific enthalpy at the expansion valve inlet.
- the specific enthalpy of a refrigerant is a substance and condition property that varies from refrigerant to refrigerant, but can be determined for each refrigerant.
- the refrigerant manufacturers therefore provide so-called log p, h diagrams for each refrigerant. Using these diagrams, the specific enthalpy difference can be determined via the evaporator 8.
- h Ref , i n with such a log p, h diagram, for example, you only need the temperature of the refrigerant at the expansion valve inlet (T Re f, i n ) and the pressure at the expansion valve inlet (Pcon) measured by a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor.
- T Re f, i n expansion valve inlet
- Pcon pressure at the expansion valve inlet
- T Re f, 0 ut the temperature at the evaporator outlet
- P Re f, out the pressure at the outlet
- T Ref , i n the boiling temperature
- the temperature at the outlet (T Re f, out) can be measured with a temperature sensor.
- the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator 8 (P Ref , out ) can be measured with a pressure sensor.
- table values can of course also be used, which simplifies the calculation with the aid of a processor.
- the refrigerant manufacturers also provide condition checks for the refrigerants.
- the mass flow rate of the refrigerant (m Ref ) can either be determined with a flow meter.
- m Ref mass flow rate of the refrigerant
- the mass flow m Ref through the expansion valve 9 can then be calculated with the aid of a valve characteristic, the pressure difference, the hypothermia and the degree of opening or the duration of the opening.
- the ability to determine the mass flow m ef consists in evaluating variables in front of the compressor 11, for example the speed of the compressor, the pressure at the compressor inlet and outlet, the temperature at the compressor inlet and a compressor characteristic.
- the specific enthalpy of air can be calculated using the following equation:
- t is the temperature of the air is thus T Eva / i n before the evaporator and T Eva, out after the evaporator
- x is referred to as a humidity ratio of the air.
- the humidity ratio of air can be calculated using the following equation:
- p w is the partial pressure of water vapor in the air and p Amb is the pressure of the air.
- p The b can either be measured or a standard atmospheric pressure is simply used for this quantity. The deviation of the actual pressure from the standard atmospheric pressure does not play a significant role in the calculation of the amount of heat emitted by the air per time.
- the partial pressure of water vapor is determined by the relative humidity of the air and the partial pressure of water vapor in saturated air and can be calculated using the following equation: Pw ⁇ Pwßat - RH ( 7 )
- RH is the relative air humidity and p w , sat the partial pressure of the water vapor in saturated air. Pw, s at depends solely on the air temperature and can be found in thermodynamic reference works.
- the relative humidity RH can be measured or typical values are used in the calculation.
- This actual value for the air mass flow m A ir can then be compared with a target value and if there are significant differences between the actual value and the target value, the operator of the refrigeration system can be informed by an error message that the system is not running optimally.
- mAir is an estimated value for the air flow rate under faultless operating conditions. Instead of an estimate, it is also possible to use a value which is determined as the mean value over a certain period of time from equation (9) under fault-free operating conditions. In a system that runs without errors, the residual r should give an average value of zero, although it is actually subject to considerable fluctuations. In order to be able to recognize an error, which is characterized by a tendency of the residual, at an early stage, it is assumed that the determined value for the residual r is normally distributed around an average value, regardless of whether the system is working properly or an error occured. An error indicator Si is then calculated according to the following relationship:
- the error indicator S will become larger because the periodically determined values of the residual ri become larger than zero on average.
- the fault indicator has reached a predetermined size, an alarm is triggered which indicates that the air circulation is restricted. If you make ⁇ i larger, you get fewer false alarms, but you also risk discovering an error later.
- FIG. 5 and 6 show the development of the residual r and the development of the error indicator Si in the case where the evaporator 8 is slowly icing up.
- the residual r is plotted in FIG. 5 and the error indicator Si in FIG. 6, while the time t is plotted to the right in minutes.
- the method can also be used to start a defrost process.
- the defrosting process is started when the error indicator Si reaches a predetermined size.
- This method has the advantage of early detection of errors, although no more sensors are used than are available in a typical system. The faults are discovered before they cause higher temperatures in the refrigeration system. Errors are also discovered before the system no longer runs optimally if the energy used is taken as a measure.
- Evaporator 8 Of course, similar monitoring can also be carried out on the condenser 10. In this case, the calculations are even simpler because no humidity is taken from the ambient air when the air passes through the condenser 10. Accordingly, no water condenses from the air on the capacitor 10 because it is warmer. When using the method on the condenser 10, it is disadvantageous that two additional temperature sensors are required, which measure the temperature of the air before and after the condenser.
- the method for detecting changes in the first media stream can also be used in systems that work with indirect cooling.
- Such systems have a primary media stream in which refrigerant circulates and a secondary media stream where a refrigerant, e.g. Brine, circulated.
- the first media stream cools the second media stream in the evaporator.
- the second media stream then cools e.g. the air in a heat exchanger.
- This method can be used on the evaporator, but also on the air / coolant heat exchanger.
- the calculations do not change on the air side of the heat exchanger.
- the enthalpy increase can occur if the coolant in the heat exchanger is not subjected to an evaporation process, but only to a temperature increase, with the subsequent one
- T nac is the temperature after the heat exchanger
- T VOr is the temperature before the heat exchanger
- m ⁇ is the mass flow of the brine .
- the constant c can be found in reference books, while the two temperatures can be measured, for example with temperature sensors.
- the mass flow m ⁇ can be determined by a mass flow meter.
- Q K ⁇ then replaces Q Ref in the further calculations.
