Problems solved by technology

The temperature in winter is low, because the water in the heat exchange tube of the fan coil unit is blocked from flowing when the temperature is equal to or lower than zero, so some projects do not use the fan coil unit in winter. At this time, the water in the fan coil unit remains in the The following hidden dangers exist in the heat exchange tube: when the ambient temperature is lower than 0°C, the water will condense into ice, and the corresponding volume will expand at this time. As the water inside the heat exchange tube gradually freezes, the volume will become larger and larger. The pressure on the heat exchange tubes is increasing, and eventually the heat exchange tubes of the fan coil unit are cracked, resulting in a series of hidden dangers such as water leakage in the fan coil unit during normal use, which greatly reduces the service life of the fan coil unit
[0003] In the existing antifreeze schemes for fan coil units, when the ambient temperature is low, most of them directly discharge the water in the fan coil unit to eliminate the hidden danger of heat exchange tubes caused by water freezing. The corresponding actual situation has not reached the point where drainage must be carried out. In addition, after direct drainage, it is necessary to refill water when it is reused later, which is inconvenient to operate and consumes time and manpower.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a solution that can effectively solve the problem of freezing and cracking of the fan coil unit when it is not in use in winter, so as to improve the operating life of the fan coil unit.

[0036] In a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an antifreeze control method for a fan coil unit is provided.

[0037] figure 1 It is a flowchart of an antifreeze control method for a fan coil unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] refer to figure 1 As shown, the antifreeze control method of fan coil unit of the present invention comprises:

[0039] Temperature detection step S11: in the shutdown state, detect the ambient temperature, and when the ambient temperature is lower than the first threshold, detect the outlet water temperature and return water temperature of the fan coil unit;

[0040] In this embodiment, the first threshold value is 18°C. According to the "Code for Design of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning in Civil Buildings", the design temperature of the interior environment of the building is ≥ 18°C. There is a risk of freezing, so the first threshold is set at 18°C.

[0056] In a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, using the antifreeze control method of the present invention.

[0057] The air conditioner of the present invention includes a fan coil unit and three temperature sensors, two of which are installed on the water inlet and outlet pipes of the fan coil respectively, and the other is installed on the top of the fan coil for detecting environmental conditions. Temperature, the air conditioner also includes the water pump and water tank that are usually used in the fan coil waterway. Through the detection and judgment of the temperature sensor, the operation and opening of the water pump can be accurately controlled. When the water in the fan coil heat exchange tube can flow When getting up, the water will not freeze into ice, which solves the problem of freezing and cracking of the fan coil unit, thereby prolonging the service life of the fan coil unit.

Abstract

The invention discloses a fan coil anti-freezing control method and system and an air conditioner. The anti-freezing control method comprises the following steps: a temperature detecting step: the environment temperature is detected in a stop state; and when the environment temperature is lower than a first threshold, the water outlet temperature and the water return temperature of a fan coil aredetected; a judging step: the lowering and the lowering degree of the water temperature are judged according to the water outlet temperature and the water return temperature; and a control step: the startup and operation states of a water pump are controlled according to the judging results of the lowering and the lowering degree of the water temperature. At a low temperature, the lowering and thelowering degree of the water temperature are judged through detection of the water outlet temperature and the water return temperature of the fan coil, and the startup and operation states of the water pump are correspondingly controlled according to the lowering and the lowering degree, so that water cannot be frozen as ice when the water in a heat exchange tube of the fan coil can flow, the frost cracking problem of the fan coil is solved, the service life of the fan coil is prolonged, and the control method is reasonable and effective.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an antifreeze control method and system for fan coil units and an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] Fan coil unit is a routinely used terminal product. The fan coil unit uses water as the refrigerant to flow in the heat exchanger. It has high stability and comfort, so it is widely used in large-scale refrigeration projects. The temperature in winter is low, because the water in the heat exchange tube of the fan coil unit is blocked from flowing when the temperature is equal to or lower than zero, so some projects do not use the fan coil unit in winter. At this time, the water in the fan coil unit remains in the The following hidden dangers exist in the heat exchange tube: when the ambient temperature is lower than 0°C, the water will condense into ice, and the corresponding volume will expand at this time. As the water inside the heat exchange tube g...
