Embodiment 1

[0025] The four major components of the refrigeration cycle are figure 1 As shown, including compressor, condenser, evaporator and throttling device. The present invention proposes a novel structure of the evaporator and condenser, that is, the structure of the heat exchanger and the overall control mode of the chiller, so as to improve the energy efficiency of the whole machine.

[0026] Specifically, figure 2 An optional structural schematic diagram of the heat exchanger is shown, such as figure 2 As shown, the unit includes:

[0027] The heat exchange tube is located in the heat exchange area; wherein, the heat exchange tubes are divided into multiple groups; the heat exchange area is the area where the heat exchange tube and the tube sheet are located, and the refrigerant and chilled water perform heat exchange;

[0028] A control valve is provided corresponding to each set of heat exchange tubes, and is used to control the on-off of each set of heat exchange tubes. ...

[0037] In the preferred embodiment 2 of the present invention, a heat exchanger control method is provided, which is applied to the heat exchanger in the above embodiment 1. Specifically, image 3 An alternative flowchart showing the method, such as image 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps S302-S306:

[0038] S302: Detect the total flow rate of chilled water, and determine the first opening value range of the heat exchange tube according to the total flow rate;

[0039] S304: Correcting the first opening numerical range, and determining the second opening numerical range of the heat exchange tube;

[0040] S306: Calculate the evaporation temperature corresponding to each opening value within the second opening value range, and determine the opening value with the largest evaporation temperature as the opening value of the heat exchange tube.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the heat exchange tubes are divided into multiple groups, and the on-off of each ...

Embodiment 3

[0069] Based on the heat exchanger provided in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, in preferred embodiment 3 of the present invention, an air-conditioning unit is also provided, including the above-mentioned heat exchanger.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the heat exchange tubes are divided into multiple groups, and the on-off of each group of heat exchange tubes is controlled by a corresponding control valve. In the variable water flow system, the solenoid valve is used to control the on-off of the heat exchange tubes, change the number of heat exchange tubes participating in the refrigeration system, and adjust the water flow rate to keep the evaporation temperature and condensation temperature at the optimum value. Compared with the heat exchanger with fixed heat exchange tubes in the prior art, the heat exchange effect is better and the unit is always running at high efficiency, which effectively solves the problem that the heat exchange area of ​​the air conditioner in th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a heat exchanger and a control method thereof. The heat exchanger comprises heat exchange pipes, and control valves, wherein the heat exchange pipes are located in a heat exchange area; the heat exchange pipes are divided into a plurality of groups; and one control valve is arranged corresponding to each group of heat exchange tubes and is used for controlling the on-off ofeach group of heat exchange tubes. The heat exchanger solves the problem that in the prior art, the heat exchange area of an air conditioner is fixed, adjustment cannot be carried out according to loads, and consequently energy efficiency is low, and improves the heat exchange effect and the energy efficiency of an air conditioning unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to a heat exchanger and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the field of air conditioning technology, according to the reverse Carnot cycle principle, evaporation temperature and condensation temperature are the two most critical parameters of refrigeration cycle efficiency. If they can always be maintained at the optimal design point, it will help improve the overall energy efficiency of the chiller. [0003] The heat exchange tubes of the evaporator and condenser of conventional chillers are designed according to a specific design working condition, and the heat exchange area is fixed and will not change with the changing working conditions. The water flow in actual operation is not constant, especially with the promotion of the variable flow system, the water flow will change at any time with the change of the load of the chiller, the water flow ra...
