[0025] The present application will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] Referring to Figure 1 The water-cooled inter-row air conditioner refrigerating performance dynamic evaluation method based on operation data analysis proposed in the present application has the following method steps:
[0028] S1: divide the load state category of the refrigeration equipment end operation, including no load [0, 0.05], light load (0.05, 0.40], half load (0.40, 0.70], heavy load (0.70, 0.90], full load (0.90, 1.00], the division basis is the relevant standards of the country, industry, etc., if there is no clear standard, the experience can be divided based on the operation data, wherein the load state is defined by the continuous operation for more than 5 minutes; and the column air conditioner is divided into the corresponding category according to the ratio RH of the running electric power consumption and the rated power consumption;
[0029] S2: determine the ratio PR parameter range of the running electric power consumption of the host computer with the load state of the refrigeration equipment and the running electric power consumption of the air conditioner under the normal operation performance of the air conditioner; for all column air conditioners in each category i (i = 1,..., N), calculate its PR i parameter respectively, take iPR = maxi (PR i ) as the air conditioner refrigeration performance benchmark of this load state, and determine I i = [a*iPR, iPR] as the normal range of the column air conditioner refrigeration performance, wherein 0.7 ≤ a < 1.0, which can be taken as 0.9; for each column air conditioner j i (j i = 1,..., M i ) in each category i (i = 1,..., N):
[0030] S3: if the PR parameter of the air conditioner is in the interval I i , it is judged to be running normally, otherwise S4 is executed;
[0031] S4: clustering analysis based on electric power consumption; after automatic clustering analysis of all operation data corresponding to the host computer load running electric power Ph and the air conditioner running electric power Pc within t1 (which can be taken as 4h) time, it is aggregated into K categories and each operation data is classified into one category (k = 1,..., K); if the number of operation data in the category where the current operation data of the air conditioner is located is less than n0, it is exited, and after n0 data periods, it reenters S3; otherwise, it enters S5 for analysis and confirmation. The value of n0 is set according to the refrigeration response speed of the air conditioner equipment, such as n0 = 5;
[0032] S5: further investigate according to the related coefficient CV of the supply and return air temperature difference and the inlet and return water temperature difference and its change before and after; for the category where the current operation data of the air conditioner equipment is located, calculate the CV parameter value corresponding to the supply and return air temperature difference and the inlet and return water temperature difference; if the value is in the interval C i= [-1.00, -0.70] indicates a significant negative correlation, which is considered normal operation; otherwise, calculate the CV parameter values corresponding to the changes in supply and return air temperature difference and the changes in inlet and return water temperature difference between the two steps. If this value is within the interval C... i If a significant negative correlation is found, the system is considered to be operating normally. Otherwise, the system is compared with the cooling performance parameter table of the air conditioning equipment (provided by the equipment manufacturer) to obtain the explicit cooling capacity value Cc_B of the air conditioner under the current operating conditions (generally including the supply and return air temperature difference, chilled water inlet temperature, etc.). The system is then compared with the current host load operating power consumption Ph value to see if it is within the optimal cooling capacity range [b*Cc_B, Cc_B], where b is taken as 0.8. If it is within the range, the system is considered to be operating normally. Otherwise, the system proceeds to S6 for analysis and confirmation.
[0033] S6: Calculate and assess the lag effect; for the class containing the current data of the air conditioning equipment, calculate the influence distribution of the cross-correlation coefficient CF between the supply and return air temperature difference and the inlet and return water temperature difference and their changes before and after. If the lag effect (i.e., the absolute value of the CF parameter is greater than c0) is within the time range of n1 monitoring data update cycles of s1, it is determined to be operating normally; otherwise, it is determined to be an abnormal operation of the air conditioning equipment, and an alarm is sent to the administrator. The administrator will then conduct manual investigation and analysis and adjust and improve the air conditioning unit. Among them, n1 is related to the response time and load status of the air conditioning equipment, and can be taken as 5; c0 is a positive real number between 0 and 1, and can be taken as 0.3.
[0034] S7: Repeat steps S3-S6 at the next time interval t+s0 to evaluate the operating performance of each in-row air conditioning unit in real time. S0 should be greater than or equal to s1 but much less than t0, and can be taken as 3 minutes. The time interval should be determined in combination with the update cycle s1 of the monitoring data and the change of the host load Ph.
[0035] S8: Update the PR parameters in S2. After time interval t0, execute S2 to recalculate the PR value for each type of air conditioner, and then execute S3-S7 for analysis.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] When analyzing the cooling performance at the data center or micro-module level, step S2 specifically involves: for all inter-row air conditioners in each class i (i = 1, ..., N), calculating the parameter PR for each inter-row air conditioner j (j = 1, ..., J) within that data center or micro-module. ij average PR i Take iPR = maxi(PR) i This serves as a benchmark for the air conditioning cooling performance within the computer room or micro-module under this type of load condition. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0038] Application Example 1
[0039] Reference Figure 1 For a computer room G1, which has 6 micro-modules G1A, G1B, G1C, G1D, G1E, G1F, each of which is composed of several computer cabinets and water-air heat exchange type row air conditioners. From a certain time (marked as 0 time), the running condition of the computer room is monitored, and it is found that the computer cabinets are basically in heavy load state. Then the PRA, PRB, PRC, PRD, PRE, PRF values of each micro-module are calculated and plotted, and it is found that the PRD value of micro-module D is the largest, and the value is about in the range [16.0, 18.0]. Taking PRD as the air conditioner reference performance iPR, Ii = [0.9*iPR, iPR] is determined as the normal range of the cooling performance of this type of row air conditioner. Comparing the PR values of other micro-modules with the normal range, it is found that they are all lower than the normal range, which may be abnormal.
[0040] In order to quickly solve the problem, the row air conditioners are directly checked. After checking, it is found that the row air conditioners with abnormal PR values are improperly configured, so optimization is carried out, and then the air conditioner running performance of the micro-module is monitored. After subsequent monitoring, it is found that (from 15 o'clock, about 5 minutes at each time) the running performance of the row air conditioners of these micro-modules is improved, and basically in the range of [15.0, 18.0], which is within the above normal range.
[0041] Application Example 2
[0042] For a micro-module A in a computer room G2, which has 6 row air conditioners AKT01d, AKT02d, AKT04d, AKT06d, AKT07d, AKT10d running. From a certain time (marked as 0 time), the running condition of the row air conditioners of the micro-module is monitored, and it is found that AKT01d, AKT02d, AKT04d, AKT06d, AKT07d are basically in heavy load state, and AKT10d is in light load state. Then the CV parameter values CV01, CV02, CV04, CV06, CV07 corresponding to the air conditioner's supply and return air temperature difference and the inlet and return water temperature difference of AKT01d, AKT02d, AKT04d, AKT06d, AKT07d are calculated and plotted, and it is found that the CV values of AKT01d, AKT02d, AKT06d are basically in the range of C = [-1.0, -0.8], which have strong negative correlation and belong to normal state; and it is found that the CV values of AKT04d, AKT07d deviate far from the normal range, and some of the values are positive, which are most likely abnormal.
[0043] For quick solution, direct to the column air conditioning AKT04d, AKT07d were investigated; after investigation, found that the two air conditioning monitoring point setting is improper, so the monitoring point adjustment. After adjustment and continue to monitor the CV showed a strong negative correlation, normal operation.
