Description

  The present invention relates to an absorption chiller control method capable of saving energy of the entire system by controlling the cooling water temperature in conjunction with the cooling load control operation of the absorption chiller, and an absorption refrigeration implementing this method. It relates to machine equipment. The absorption refrigerator includes an absorption chiller / heater.

  Conventionally, what is illustrated in FIG. 8 is known as a vapor | steam type double effect absorption refrigerator. This absorption refrigerator constitutes a reverse cycle in which an absorption liquid (for example, an aqueous solution of lithium bromide) flows from the absorber a to the high temperature regenerator e through the low temperature regenerator c. The absorption cycle in this absorption refrigerator will be explained. First, an absorption liquid (a rare absorption liquid) whose concentration has been reduced by absorbing a large amount of refrigerant vapor in the absorber a is supplied from the absorber a to the low-temperature heat exchanger b. Then, after being heated by the low-temperature heat exchanger b, it is fed to the low-temperature regenerator c. The rare absorbent is regenerated at a low temperature in the low temperature regenerator c, and a part of the absorbed refrigerant is released, and the concentration is increased by that amount to become an intermediate concentration absorbent (intermediate absorbent). Next, the intermediate absorbent is fed from the low temperature regenerator c to the high temperature heat exchanger d, heated by the high temperature heat exchanger d, and then fed to the high temperature regenerator e.

  The intermediate absorption liquid is regenerated at a high temperature in the high temperature regenerator e, and a part of the absorbed refrigerant (for example, water vapor) is released to further increase the concentration to become a high concentration absorption liquid (concentrated absorption liquid). . The concentrated absorbent is returned to the heating side of the high temperature heat exchanger d as a heating source for heating the intermediate absorbent, and further the heating source for heating the rare absorbent on the heating side of the low temperature heat exchanger b. Is returned to the absorber a. The returned concentrated absorbing liquid is sprayed on the heat transfer tube in the absorber a and absorbs the refrigerant vapor again while being cooled by the cooling water to become the rare absorbing liquid.

In such a steam double effect absorption refrigerator, high-temperature steam (steam) is supplied from the steam boiler f to the high-temperature regenerator e as a heating source. The refrigerant that was absorbed by heating is released, and the discharged refrigerant vapor is used as a heating source in the low-temperature regenerator c by the low-temperature regenerator c, and then returned to the condenser g to condense. . The refrigerant liquid (for example, water) from the condenser g enters the evaporator h, and the condensed refrigerant liquid is sprayed on the heat transfer pipe (water is circulating) of the evaporator h by a refrigerant pump and cooled by latent heat of evaporation. Cold water is obtained.
In addition, a bypass pipe k is provided to connect the absorption liquid pipe i from the low temperature regenerator c and the heating side absorption liquid pipe j between the high temperature heat exchanger d and the low temperature heat exchanger b. A part of the intermediate concentrated absorbent that exits c and is supplied to the high-temperature regenerator e is bypassed to the concentrated absorbent pipe that returns to the absorber a.

Normally, when a boiler is operated independently, the steam pressure at the outlet of the boiler, which changes due to external load changes, is detected, and the combustion amount is controlled so that the steam pressure falls within the specified pressure range. ing. During operation, the water level is controlled by controlling the water supply pump so that the water held in the boiler falls within a predetermined water level range.
On the other hand, in the conventional absorption refrigerator as shown in FIG. 8, the temperature of the refrigerator outlet or inlet is determined by detecting a change in the chilled water temperature at the outlet or inlet of the refrigerator that changes due to an external load change. The amount of the heat source to be supplied is controlled so as to reach the specified temperature.

As for the above boiler and absorption refrigerator, there is an operation system such as interlocking operation with an interlock, but the normal operation system has independent control. A boiler corresponds to a pressure vessel whose internal pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure, and an absorption refrigerator corresponds to a vacuum vessel whose internal pressure is below atmospheric pressure. For this reason, it has been conventionally given up that it is impossible to operate and control the two together.
However, development of a refrigerator that further saves energy is required due to environmental problems and the like, and the refrigerator according to the present invention developed this time meets the needs of the times.
The absorption refrigerator has, for example, an aqueous lithium bromide solution as a medium for circulating inside and exchanging heat energy. Generally called absorption liquid, it is configured to exhibit a cooling effect by absorbing and evaporating water as a refrigerant.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an absorption chiller / heater, there is known a coolant flow rate control method for controlling energy consumption by controlling a coolant flow rate using a chiller / heater outlet temperature as a determination condition (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, in a triple effect type absorption chiller / heater, there is known a method for optimally controlling the liquid level of a once-through boiler type high-temperature regenerator (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Furthermore, an energy-saving operation method is known in which the temperature, pressure, and concentration of the regenerator are detected in the absorption refrigerator and the cooling water flow rate is determined from the largest control value (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
JP 2004-36957 A (2nd page, FIG. 2) JP 2003-214720 A (2nd page, FIG. 1) JP 2002-5538 A (2nd page, FIG. 1)

However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when the cooling water flow rate is decreased, the cooling water outlet temperature at the absorption chiller hot water outlet increases, naturally the absorption liquid temperature in the absorption chiller hot water rises, and the pressure of the regenerator increases. Therefore, in order to continue operation, it is necessary to simultaneously monitor and control the regenerator temperature and pressure in the absorption chiller / heater. However, this Patent Document 1 does not describe a method for monitoring and controlling them and continuing the operation. That is, the main focus is on the control of the cooling water flow rate, the control of the chiller / heater is about safety monitoring, and no method for continuing the energy saving operation is described.
Further, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, a liquid level control method mainly centering on control from the viewpoint of safety is described, but a method for controlling the liquid level from the aspect of energy saving operation is described. Absent.

  Further, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3, even if the temperature, pressure, and concentration of the regenerator are detected, the circulation amount of the cooling water is increased or decreased by ignoring the liquid pool amount or the liquid level of the regenerator that heats and concentrates the absorbing liquid. This may cause overheating of the high-temperature regenerator body and empty can operation. In order to continue operation safely and continuously, it is necessary to control and monitor the amount of liquid pool or level of the regenerator before detecting the temperature and pressure concentration of the regenerator. Although effective as a detection condition for energy-saving operation, control for continuously continuing safe operation is not described. Further, there is no description about control when the load is high but the cooling water temperature (outside air temperature) is low.

  In general air conditioning, most of the cooling operation from start to stop is operated with a partial load. As an effective measure for energy saving operation without reducing performance, it is considered effective to save energy during partial load operation. In particular, it is effective to construct an operation control method that reduces power consumption and a control system that improves partial load efficiency. Absorption chillers that use gas, oil, steam, etc. as the heat source are operated in a cycle that employs the principle of multiple effects, and the coefficient of performance exceeds 1, but the peripheral power equipment such as pumps exceeds 100% efficiency. There is no. Therefore, variable-flow operation of the cooling water circulation amount according to the load, except during rated load operation, leads to a reduction in electric power and a large energy saving effect.

In addition to the energy saving of the absorption chiller, we will propose an energy saving operation plan, paying attention to the fact that the operation while saving energy of the surrounding power equipment increases the efficiency and energy saving effect as a system. However, on the other hand, if the cooling water flow rate or the like is controlled during the partial load operation of the absorption chiller, there is a demerit that the energy saving performance of the absorption chiller body is reduced.
Therefore, in the present invention, during the absorption partial load operation, the operation of the cooling tower fan motor is controlled by the control signal from the absorption refrigerator, and the cooling water temperature is absorbed by the cooling effect by the outside air. Proposed are a control method and an absorption chiller that can be operated at different temperature settings so as to be optimal for operation. The general relationship between the cooling load and the cooling water temperature is as shown in Table 1.

  Table 2 shows general control operations of the absorption chiller and peripheral devices under operating conditions in which the load fluctuates.

The day when the cooling load and the cooling water temperature become the highest continues for about one week in the heyday of summer, but there are some differences depending on the use in other summer and intermediate periods. However, even on a day with a high load, the cooling water temperature is lower than the peak. The morning and evening temperatures are particularly low, and the cooling water temperature is controlled in almost all applications. This control is adopted as a control method independent of the control of the absorption refrigerator by a separate circuit.
In cooling water temperature control, there are cases of fan on / off only, three-way valve control, or a combination of both, but in either case, control to prevent overcooling of the cooling water temperature. The heating amount control by the load factor of the absorption refrigerator is performed separately from the control. It is assumed that the cooling tower having the ability to cool the cooling water to the rated temperature and the absorption refrigerator are in a one-to-one combination at the peak of summer.

In the conventional control, the temperature of the cooling water is controlled to be constant around a preset temperature. It uses means such as a start / stop control of the cooling tower fan motor, or a three-way valve control for bypassing a part of the cooling water amount going to the cooling tower. Because the cooling water temperature control uses the cooling effect of the outside air, the cooling water temperature is controlled to be constant. When the load is high but the outside air temperature is low, or when the cooling load is low but the outside air temperature is high Simple control of the cooling water temperature is adopted even in various operation patterns such as time.
Among the recent control methods, the cooling tower fan motor cooling is a combination of variable flow control that changes the cooling water flow rate and variable flow control that changes the cooling water flow rate as the load increases and decreases. It may be used in addition to water temperature control. Further, it is known that the change of the cooling water flow rate and the change of the cold water flow rate are used in combination with the cold water outlet temperature control by the heating amount control of the absorption cold water heater using the control signal of the absorption chiller.

  The problem to be solved is that the cooling water temperature control is controlled by a control signal from an independent control circuit separately from the control of the absorption chiller, even in the above-described conventional method. This is not optimal control considering the efficiency (energy saving operation) of the refrigerator.

  In the case of general cooling operation, it can be said that the temperature control of the cold water and the cooling water is performed in almost all operation hours if the summer season is reached for about one week. In other words, cold water and cooling water are controlled to prevent overcooling. During the time period during which the cooling water and cooling water temperature are controlled, the cooling water flow control and temperature control are performed while balancing the load change, reducing the operating power costs of the cooling water pump power and cooling tower fan power. This is the most effective way to save energy and costs.

  In addition, in the low-load operation region, the heat source is shut off by controlling the heating amount, and the cold energy stored as the refrigerant is effectively used even during the heat storage refrigerant operation that uses the heat of evaporation of the refrigerant held inside. Even when the heating heat source is shut off in the low-load operation area, the chilled water temperature can be controlled to increase the efficiency during low-load operation, and high efficiency in a wide operation area from 100% to the extremely low-load operation area New control to improve the partial load operating characteristics and partial load efficiency over the conventional control by controlling the cooling water temperature with the control signal transmitted from the absorption chiller so that it can be operated smoothly. The added control method and absorption chiller equipment are features of the present invention.

  Therefore, the present invention provides not only control of the absorption chiller in addition to control of the absorption chiller, but also control of the cooling chiller pump power, which is a peripheral device. The main feature is the control method and the absorption chiller equipment that improve the characteristics and efficiency of the absorption chiller at the time of significant energy saving operation and partial load operation by controlling the cooling tower fan.

  The absorption chiller control method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, In an absorption chiller / heater and equipment (or apparatus) having at least a water pump, a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, the circulating amount of the cooling water pump is reduced from 100% using a heating amount control signal for controlling the chilled water outlet temperature. When the control is performed in the range of 50%, and the cooling load becomes 50% or less and the heating amount becomes zero in the range of 0 to 30%, the cooling water amount is reduced to the minimum flow rate of 30 to 40%, and the heating amount zero signal, that is, combustion The stop signal is used to output a signal for changing the coolant flow rate to the minimum flow rate. In addition, since the peripheral equipment such as the cooling water pump and the cooling tower are facilities provided separately from the absorption chiller, they are collectively referred to as an absorption chiller and a facility, or an absorption chiller facility. .

  Further, the method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, a cold / hot water pump having a structure for heating an absorbing liquid by burning fuel. In an absorption chiller / heater and equipment having at least a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, if the cooling load is 50% or less and the heating amount becomes zero in the range of 0 to 30%, the chilled water outlet temperature is too low. In order to prevent this, the refrigerant pump is controlled to start / stop. Control the operation of the cooling tower fan motor so that the outlet temperature is stable, stop the cooling tower fan operation if the chilled water falls too low, and operate the cooling tower fan motor if the chilled water temperature rises It is characterized by issuing a control signal for speed control and start-stop control from the absorption refrigerator.

  Further, the method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, a cold / hot water pump having a structure for heating an absorbing liquid by burning fuel. In an absorption chiller / heater and equipment having at least a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, if the cooling load is 50% or less and the heating amount becomes zero in the range of 0 to 30%, the chilled water outlet temperature is too low. In order to prevent this, the chilled water outlet temperature is raised to prevent over-cooling on the load side, and at the same time, the chilled water control is implemented so that energy-saving operation is continued by effectively using the cold energy of the heat storage refrigerant in the absorption chiller The set temperature is automatically changed.

  Further, the method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, a cold / hot water pump having a structure for heating an absorbing liquid by burning fuel. In an absorption chiller / heater and equipment having at least a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, if the cooling load is 50% or less and the heating amount becomes zero in the range of 0 to 30%, the chilled water outlet temperature is too low. In order to prevent, raise the set temperature of the chilled water outlet temperature (for example, raise the chilled water temperature setting from 7 ° C. to 10 ° C. or 12 ° C.), and at the same time, set the cooling water temperature set temperature equal to the set temperature of the chilled water outlet temperature, Or, it can be lowered to the vicinity to increase the range in which the cooling operation of the absorption chiller can be performed by the cooling effect due to the cooling water temperature decrease, and the cooling operation time using the heating heat source can be reduced to increase the energy saving effect. It is characterized in. As a specific effect, the cooling operation (free cooling) of the absorption refrigerator using the cooling heat of the outside air becomes possible.

Hereinafter, this free cooling will be described. It is well known that when the outside air temperature is low, the refrigerator is bypassed and cold water is allowed to flow through the cooling tower to enable cooling operation by outside air. If chilled water is flowed directly to the cooling tower, there is a concern that dirt from outside air may be brought into the chilled water system piping. When cooling the outside air, use a closed cooling tower or indirectly cool it with a heat exchanger in between. The method to do is common. If free cooling can be performed in the normal operation cycle without bypassing the absorption chiller, there is a great merit in terms of equipment as well as energy saving.
Conventionally, if such an operation is performed, there is a risk that the balance between the absorption liquid circulating inside the refrigerator and the amount of water held in the refrigerant will be lost, and various problems such as cavitation of the refrigerant pump and crystals of the absorption liquid may occur. The manufacturer notified them to avoid driving. However, recent refrigerators are becoming more energy efficient and tend to operate with a lower absorbent concentration during operation. In addition, the operation panel for controlling the operation of the refrigerator and the control function of the control panel have been increased and advanced to each stage by computerization, and it has become possible to perform temperature monitoring and complex control relatively easily.

By incorporating these recent trends in a positive manner, it becomes possible to perform fairly complex control, and it becomes relatively easy to incorporate many sensors for preventing crystallization and cavitation even with a standard board. With conventional free cooling, the cold water temperature is strongly influenced by the outside air, so it is difficult to secure stable cold water and it depends on the weather, so it is difficult to actively adopt even if you know that it will save energy This is the reason why free cooling is difficult to spread.
Given this background, considering the good use of absorption refrigerators, it is very effective to use a combustion device for backup, considering free-cooling operation mainly during intermediate periods and low loads. It becomes a driving method. The countermeasure on the refrigerator side is that when the low-load operation continues, the concentration of the absorbing solution decreases and the absorbing power decreases. However, if the cooling water temperature is lowered, moderate absorption power can be maintained, and if the refrigerant pump is turned, moderate cooling water temperature can be maintained.
The problem here is that if the low-load operation is continued for a long time, the refrigerant in the refrigerant pool is emptied and the operation of the refrigerant pump cannot be continued, but the refrigerant liquid level, the refrigerant temperature, the current value of the refrigerant pump Alternatively, it is possible to regenerate a predetermined refrigerant by detecting the vibration of the pump bearing and the like and intermittently repeating the combustion operation to secure the amount of refrigerant necessary for the operation of the refrigerant pump. If the chilled water temperature is too low, naturally the refrigerant pump is stopped and the cooling water temperature is set higher. By repeating this, free cooling operation during low load operation can be continued.

  Further, the method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, a cold / hot water pump having a structure for heating an absorbing liquid by burning fuel. In an absorption chiller / heater and equipment having at least a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, if the state of the fourth invention (invention 4) is continued for a long time, the heat storage refrigerant accumulated in the absorption chiller evaporates. As a result, it becomes impossible to obtain cold heat, and the refrigerant pump cavitates due to insufficient circulating refrigerant, so the vibration detection sensor attached to the inlet or outlet of the refrigerant pump or the temperature of the refrigerant or the temperature of the refrigerant pump is detected. The refrigerant pump is stopped by the detection signal of the temperature sensor. At this time, if the chilled water temperature rises and exceeds the set temperature, it automatically returns to the normal heating control operation and the cooling load operation and It is characterized in that into the cold-storage operation for storing the condensed refrigerant to the medium reservoir.

  Further, the method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, a cold / hot water pump having a structure for heating an absorbing liquid by burning fuel. In an absorption chiller / heater and facility having at least a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, the cooling load is changed in accordance with the load factor in the cooling load range of 100 to 0%. If the heating heat quantity is reduced by reducing the temperature, or if the outside air temperature decreases and the cooling effect by outside air increases, the cooling water set temperature is changed so that the set temperature of the cooling water temperature is lowered step by step. The rotation speed control signal of the tower fan motor and the control signal for controlling the start / stop of the cooling tower fan motor are output from the absorption refrigerator.

In this method, in the cooling load operation range for controlling the heating amount, for example, 100 to 30%, control is performed so as to lower the upper limit value of the cooling water temperature, and in the cooling control operation range for the refrigerant pump, for example, 30 to 0%, cooling is performed. It is preferable to control to lower the lower limit of the water temperature.
In the cooling load operation range for controlling the heating amount, control is performed to lower the upper limit value of the cooling water temperature, and in the operation control range of the refrigerant pump, control is performed to lower the lower limit value of the cooling water temperature. It can also be controlled to increase the outlet temperature setting.

  Furthermore, the method of the present invention includes a regenerator, a condenser, an absorber, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, a solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a cooling water pump, a cold / hot water pump having a structure in which the absorbing liquid is heated by combustion of fuel, In an absorption chiller / heater and equipment having at least a cooling tower and a cooling tower fan motor, the chilled water temperature circulating through the absorption chiller / heater that changes under the influence of the outside air temperature or external load, and the absorption chiller cooled by the outside air Cooling water circulating through the absorption chiller / heater when the load is reduced by detecting the temperature of the chilled water circulating through the chiller / heater and changing the setting value of the coolant during rated load operation. The cooling water temperature characteristics of the absorption chiller / heater are reduced to increase the operating efficiency. Similarly, when the cooling load is reduced, the cooling water circulation flow rate is decreased to reduce the energy consumption of the circulation pump. Control and cold Of preventing excessive cooling increases the operating efficiency, configured to perform driving as the energy-saving high-efficiency to the low load from the heavy load. In this method, the rotation speed control signal and start / stop control signal of the cooling tower fan motor are output in response to the change of the cooling water temperature set value.

In the absorption refrigerator, the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the absorption refrigerator change depending on the cooling load. When the temperature of the chilled water decreases, the control device works to prevent overcooling and adjusts the amount of heating energy for heating and regenerating the absorbent. Heating energy includes high-grade fossil energy such as natural gas and low-grade energy such as gas engine exhaust hot water. The absorption chiller / heater is operated by using these energy alone or in combination. In general, the signal that adjusts the amount of heating energy is used to detect the change rate (amount) of the chilled water outlet temperature and the temperature difference between the chilled water outlet and outlet, calculate the load factor (control amount), and convert the control signal to a current value or resistance value. And output.
At this time, the cooling water temperature is controlled so that the absorption chiller inlet temperature is constant by the cooling tower fan start / stop and three-way valve control. In general, there is no major problem because the cooling load changes almost in line with the outside air temperature, but there are commercial facilities and processes such as department stores and supermarkets where the load is determined by the number of people coming and going in addition to the outside air temperature. In the case of a cooling facility, the cooling load changes regardless of the outside air temperature, that is, the cooling water temperature. When operating in this way, use the absorption chiller operation / control panel control function and data storage function to determine the operating conditions at that time from the absorption chiller control signal data and temperature data. If the optimum coolant temperature set value is calculated and set as a new set value, the energy-saving operation of the absorption chiller can be carried out very effectively and easily.
In these methods, the absorption refrigerator is configured to be any one of a single effect absorption refrigerator, a double effect absorption refrigerator, and a triple effect absorption refrigerator.

FIG. 1 shows a combination of a triple effect absorption chiller / heater and a peripheral system, that is, peripheral equipment (apparatus) as an example of a multi-effect absorption chiller / heater according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Yes. FIG. 2 shows a control flow in the triple effect absorption chiller / heater shown in FIG.

  The triple effect absorption chiller / heater equipment shown in FIG. 1 has a high-temperature regenerator 10, an intermediate-temperature regenerator 12, a low-temperature regenerator 14, a condenser 16, and an absorber 18 that are configured to indirectly heat the absorbent by combustion of fuel. , Evaporator 20, heat exchangers, solution pump, refrigerant pump, cooling water pump 22, cold / hot water pump 24, cooling tower 26 and cooling tower fan motor 28 as main components, This is a reverse flow triple effect absorption chiller / heater that leads from the low temperature regenerator 14 to the medium temperature regenerator 12 and then to the high temperature regenerator 10.

  In the absorption chiller / heater equipment configured as described above, the inlet temperature sensor 30 of the chilled / hot water pump 24, the outlet temperature sensor 32 of the chilled / hot water pump 24, the inlet temperature sensor 34 of the cooling water pump 22, and the cooling water pump 22. The outlet temperature sensor 36 and the operation / control panel 38 are connected to each other. The operation / control panel 38, the fuel combustion / control apparatus 40, the rotation control apparatus 42 of the cold / hot water pump 24, and the rotation control of the cooling water pump 22 are connected. The apparatus 44 and the cooling tower fan motor 28 are connected, and the circulating amount of the cooling water pump 22 is controlled in the range of 100% to 50% using a heating amount control signal for controlling the cooling water outlet temperature, and the cooling load is 50%. When the heating amount becomes zero within the range of 0 to 30%, the cooling water amount is controlled to be reduced to the minimum flow rate (30 to 40%), and the heating amount zero signal, that is, the combustion stop signal It is configured to issue a signal for changing the coolant flow rate to the minimum flow using. 46 is a fuel control valve, 48 is a cooling tower fan, and 50 is a rotation control device of the cooling tower fan motor.

  Absorption chiller / heaters, such as absorption chillers, take advantage of the inherent control functions of absorption chillers, further improve the partial load characteristics of absorption chillers and save energy in peripheral power equipment such as cooling water pumps. This is a control system that realizes the system efficiently and without incurring a large cost burden. And this absorption refrigeration machine gives the signal which controls the circulation amount of the cooling water pump 22 simultaneously with the heating amount control signal which controls the chilled water outlet temperature, and when the partial load operation or the cooling water temperature is low It is intended to control cooling pump power and save energy. However, an energy saving system that performs such control is already implemented as a known system. In this case, in consideration of safety, the cooling water flow rate is generally set to 50% at the rated operation, and is not set to be less than that.

  Therefore, in the absorption chiller system according to the present invention, the cooling water flow rate is changed in accordance with the control of the absorption chiller as in the conventional case, and the 50% flow rate is used as a guideline for the lower limit value. However, the load control amount of the absorption refrigeration machine is less than 50%, less than the minimum combustion control amount (usually 20-30% load), combustion is stopped, and an extremely low load operation state in which only the refrigerant pump is operated (normally) In the case of 0 to 30% load), the flow rate of the cooling water is further reduced from 50%, and a control signal for reducing the flow rate of the cooling water to the lowest flow rate that does not hinder the operation of the cooling water pump 22 is output ( (Cooling water flow rate control in (3) in FIGS. 1 and 2). Usually, only when the combustion is stopped, the cooling water flow rate is reduced to 30 to 40% to enable the energy saving operation to reduce the power of the cooling water pump 22 during the low load operation.

  The cooling water flow rate is reduced to 30 to 40% of the rated flow rate only when the combustion amount is below the lower limit value of the combustion amount that controls the cold water outlet temperature of the absorption chiller and combustion is stopped. As a result, the control range of the cooling water circulating water amount can be expanded. Conventionally, the control range of 100% to 50% was the limit, but 100% determined from the limit of the rotational speed control of the cooling water pump 22. It is possible to operate up to a width of about 30%, and a large energy saving operation is possible. Depending on the degree of energy-saving requirement or application, the chilled water flow rate may be controlled by controlling the number of revolutions of the chilled / hot water pump 24 so that the average temperature difference at the chilled / hot water inlet / outlet is constant ((1) in FIGS. 1 and 2). Cold water outlet temperature control).

  Next, the cooling water temperature control during the operation of the regenerative refrigerant that performs cooling operation using the evaporation heat of the refrigerant accumulated in the refrigerant pool while combustion is stopped has been newly added to improve the characteristics and efficiency of the absorption chiller water heater. Improve operating efficiency during low-load operation. Normally, when the combustion is stopped and the cooling operation is performed only by the refrigerant pump, there is no cooling water outlet control of the absorption chiller, and the control amount of the control signal is zero. In this low load operation region, the chilled water temperature is normal, and the chilled water outlet temperature is not controlled.

However, at this time as well, while the refrigerant pump is operating (refrigerant spraying), the refrigerant takes heat from the cold water to evaporate, and the absorbing liquid sprayed by the absorber 18 absorbs the refrigerant. Therefore, by changing the setting condition of the cooling water temperature entering the absorption chiller at this time, it is possible to control the operation of the cooling tower fan 48 at the temperature set in advance for the cooling water outlet temperature of the absorption chiller. As described above, an operation switching function for controlling the cooling water outlet temperature with the cooling water temperature by utilizing the capacity of the cooling tower 26 having a surplus capacity in the low load operation and outputting a control signal for operating the cooling tower fan 48 during the low load operation. (Cooling water inlet temperature control of (2) in FIGS. 1 and 2).
In addition, when the outside air temperature is low and the cooling water temperature tends to decrease even during rated cooling load operation, the absorption chiller is set so that the set value of the cooling water temperature is lowered to enable energy-saving operation during rated cooling load operation. The operation / control panel 38 changes the cooling water temperature set value to control the operation of the cooling tower fan motor 28.

Further, the load control range by the refrigerant pump start / stop in FIG. 3B is divided into the cooling load control range by the coolant temperature control and the load control range by the refrigerant pump start / stop in FIG. The load control range due to start / stop is reduced.

In addition, when the control signal that increases or decreases according to the cooling load is a control signal output that indicates zero heating amount in the range of 0 to 30% of the cooling load, the number of rotations of the cooling water pump so as to change the cooling water flow rate to 35%. To control.

  FIG. 5 is a case according to claims 4, 6 and 7 of the present invention, in which the cooling water temperature change due to the cooling load change and the outside air temperature change is utilized for energy saving operation, that is, the cooling water set temperature is changed in the operating condition. The case where the control which changes automatically is performed is shown. FIG. 5A is a graph showing the relationship between cooling load factor and cooling water temperature showing conventional control and operation, and FIG. 5B is a cooling load range and cooling showing control and operation after change (the present invention). It is a graph which shows the relationship with water temperature.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, conventionally, the cooling water set temperature is set to 32 ° C., and the cooling water temperature is controlled near the cooling water set temperature by the start / stop control of the cooling tower fan motor. However, in the method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the cooling water temperature is controlled when the heating amount is zero, so the lower limit value of the cooling water set temperature is lowered, for example, from 22 ° C. to 10 ° C. To save energy using the cooling effect of cooling water. By doing in this way, when the cooling water temperature which changes with the fluctuation | variation of outside temperature falls, the upper limit of a cooling water preset temperature can be lowered | hung and an energy saving operation can be performed using the cooling effect of a cooling water.

As described above, in the absorption refrigerator, the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the absorption refrigerator change depending on the cooling load. When the temperature of the chilled water decreases, the control device works to prevent overcooling and adjusts the amount of heating energy for heating and regenerating the absorbent. Heating energy includes high-grade fossil energy such as natural gas and low-grade energy such as gas engine exhaust hot water. The absorption chiller / heater is operated by using these energy alone or in combination. In general, the signal that adjusts the amount of heating energy is used to detect the change rate (amount) of the chilled water outlet temperature and the temperature difference between the chilled water outlet and outlet, calculate the load factor (control amount), and convert the control signal to a current value or resistance value And output.
At this time, the cooling water temperature is controlled so that the inlet temperature of the absorption chiller becomes constant by the fan start / stop of the cooling tower 26 and the three-way valve control. In general, there is no major problem because the cooling load changes almost in line with the outside air temperature, but there are commercial facilities and processes such as department stores and supermarkets where the load is determined by the number of people coming and going in addition to the outside air temperature. In the case of a cooling facility, the cooling load changes regardless of the outside air temperature, that is, the cooling water temperature. When operating in this way, use the absorption chiller operation / control panel control function and data storage function to determine the operating conditions at that time from the absorption chiller control signal data and temperature data. If the optimum coolant temperature set value is calculated and set as a new set value, the energy-saving operation of the absorption chiller can be carried out very effectively and easily.

  For example, if the cooling tower water tank temperature (outside air temperature) is around 32 ° C. when the cooling load is 100%, the circulating cooling water set temperature may remain at 32 ° C., but when the cooling load is 100%, the cooling tower water tank When the outside air temperature drops to a temperature where the temperature of the water (outside air temperature) drops to around 22 ° C, the circulating cooling water set temperature is changed to 27 ° C (the temperature is determined taking into consideration the prevention of crystallization of the absorption liquid) Based on the calculation criteria set in advance and the temperature table described later, a signal that changes the set temperature of the circulating cooling water is calculated from the calculation results of the load control / operating device of the absorption chiller during operation of the absorption chiller. Then, the cooling water temperature is adjusted by starting and stopping the fan of the cooling tower 26 and controlling the rotational speed of the fan motor 28. When the load changes, if the control is performed so that the temperature of the cooling water changes in proportion to the cooling capacity (load factor) based on the set temperature after the change, the absorption refrigerator can be used in the entire load range. Energy-saving operation is possible under optimal cooling water temperature conditions. Similarly, it has a control function to reduce the cooling water circulation flow rate when the cooling load is reduced, and the external pump output reduces the number of rotations of the circulation pump and reduces the circulation water amount to reduce the energy consumption of the circulation pump.

  FIG. 6 shows the control for using the cooling water temperature change due to the cooling load change and the outside air temperature change for energy saving operation in the absorption chiller / heater shown in FIG. 1, that is, the cooling water set temperature is automatically changed according to the change of the operating condition. It is explanatory drawing which shows the control to change, and FIG. 7 has shown an example of the cooling water temperature table in this case.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the cooling load is 100%, when the temperature of the cooling tower water tank (outside air temperature) is around 32 ° C., the circulating cooling water set temperature may remain at 32 ° C. However, when the temperature of the cooling tower water tank (outside air temperature) decreases to a temperature that decreases to around 22 ° C. when the cooling load is 100%, the circulating cooling water set temperature is set to 27 ° C. In order to control the load of the absorption chiller / hot water machine during the operation of the absorption chiller / hot water machine, the calculation criteria set in advance, such as changing the temperature to take into account the prevention of crystallization, and the cooling water temperature table shown in FIG. A signal for changing the set temperature of the circulating cooling water is output from the calculation result by the operating device, and the cooling water temperature is adjusted by starting / stopping the fan 48 of the cooling tower 26 or controlling the rotational speed of the fan motor 28. To do.
If the load changes, the absorption chiller water heater can be used in the entire load range by controlling the cooling water temperature to change proportionally with the cooling capacity (load factor) based on the changed set temperature. Energy-saving operation is possible under the optimum coolant temperature conditions. Similarly, when the cooling load is reduced, it has a control function to reduce the cooling water circulation flow rate, and the external signal output reduces the number of rotations of the cooling water circulation pump 100 to reduce the amount of circulating water to reduce the energy consumption of the circulation pump.

  In addition, when the cooling water temperature decreases after the peak of the cooling operation in summer and the cooling load decreases and the low load operation extends for a long time, the set temperature of the cooling water is usually 7 ° C. In the case of setting in the case of 8 ° C, 9 ° C, 10 ° C, etc., based on the calculation criteria set in advance and the cooling water temperature table, the cooling water is calculated from the calculation results by the load control / operating device of the absorption chiller / heater. Change the set temperature and limit the amount of heating energy used to prevent overcooling and enable energy saving operation. In this case, the rotation speed control signal and start / stop control signal of the cooling tower fan motor 28 may be output in response to the change in the cooling water temperature set value.

  In the above embodiment, the case of a triple effect absorption refrigerator has been described, but in a double effect absorption refrigerator, a single effect absorption refrigerator, and a quadruple or more multiple effect absorption refrigerator. Of course, it can also be applied. Moreover, in the case of a double-effect absorption refrigerator, the present invention can be applied not only to the reverse flow type but also to the parallel flow type and the series flow type.
