The application relates to the technical field of heat exchange device control, in particular to an energy-saving control method and device for an industrial low-temperature air conditioner, which comprises the following steps: analyzing the correlation between an equivalent
refrigeration load and the temperature on the air outlet side of an
evaporator, combining the difference between the instantaneous temperature and the average temperature of the application area of the low-temperature air conditioner, constructing a first self-adaptive compensation factor, and correcting the proportional
gain of a
PID controller; analyzing the difference between the equivalent
refrigeration loads at all adjacent moments to construct a second self-adaptive compensation factor and correct the integral
gain of the
PID controller; and generating a control instruction of the low-temperature air conditioner based on the corrected proportional
gain and integral gain to dynamically regulate and control the temperature of the low-temperature air conditioner. The application dynamically corrects the PID parameters based on the load and
temperature response characteristics, solves the problems of frosting, overshooting and
high energy consumption caused by traditional control, and improves the energy-saving
control effect and operation stability of the industrial low-temperature air conditioner.
