[0027] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid obstructing the description of the present disclosure with unnecessary details.

[0028] A method and device for predicting the cleaning time of a refrigeration unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, there is one refrigeration unit. In practical applications, there may be one or more refrigeration units, and the present invention does not limit this embodiment.

[0029] In the refrigeration system, the refrigeration unit is composed of a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser and an expansion valve, of which the evaporator and the condenser are both heat exchangers. The heat exchanger is used to achieve energy exchange, and the heat in the hot fluid is transferred to the cooling water through the heat exchanger wall to complete the transfer of heat energy. After the refrigeration unit has been running for a period of time, since the cooling water needs to be recycled, it is easy to produce dirt after the water quality deteriorates, and the heat transfer resistance increases, resulting in a significant decrease in heat exchange efficiency, which has an adverse effect on the performance of the refrigeration unit.

[0030] In the prior art, whether it is necessary to clean the dirt in the heat exchanger depends on manual experience or regular cleaning to deal with the accumulated dirt. However, due to limited manual experience and the lack of a quantifiable judgment system, it is impossible to determine when to clean the dirt in the heat exchanger, resulting in cleaning only after a large area of ​​dirt has accumulated or become clogged. Alternatively, due to the lack of experience of the operation and maintenance personnel, cleaning is performed too frequently, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0031] The disclosed embodiment provides a new prediction method for the cleaning time of a refrigeration unit. The prediction method obtains the operation data of the refrigeration unit according to a preset refrigeration cycle, and the operation data at least includes historical approach temperature data. The operation data of the refrigeration unit is preprocessed, the time characteristics of the operation data are extracted, the load rate data is divided into each preset load rate interval, and the daily comprehensive approach temperature true value is calculated. The time characteristics are used as input, and the comprehensive approach temperature true value is used as output. The initial comprehensive approach temperature model is trained to obtain a target comprehensive approach temperature prediction model. Based on the predicted time of the next refrigeration cycle, the predicted time characteristics are extracted, and the predicted time characteristics are input into the target comprehensive approach temperature prediction model to obtain the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value. Based on the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value and the comprehensive approach temperature threshold, the cleaning time of the refrigeration unit is determined. The disclosed embodiment uses the comprehensive approach temperature prediction model to predict the cleaning time to avoid the reduction of heat transfer efficiency due to untimely cleaning of dirt. Based on the provided predicted cleaning time, the operation and maintenance personnel can prepare in advance, clean the dirt according to the predicted time, reduce energy loss, save production and maintenance costs, and optimize the operation efficiency of the refrigeration unit.

[0032] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a method for predicting the cleaning time of a refrigeration unit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for predicting the cleaning time of a refrigeration unit includes:

[0033] S101, according to a preset refrigeration cycle, obtaining operation data of the refrigeration unit, the operation data at least including historical approach temperature data, load rate data and on / off state data.

[0034] S102, pre-processing the operating data of the refrigeration unit to extract the time characteristics of the operating data.

[0035] S103, dividing the load rate data into preset load rate intervals, and calculating the actual value of the daily comprehensive approach temperature.

[0036] S104, taking the time feature as input and the real value of the comprehensive approaching temperature as output, training the initial comprehensive approaching temperature model to obtain a target comprehensive approaching temperature prediction model.

[0037] S105, based on the predicted time of the next refrigeration cycle, extract the time feature, and input the predicted time feature into the target comprehensive approach temperature prediction model to obtain the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value.

[0038] S106, determining a refrigeration unit cleaning time based on the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value and the comprehensive approach temperature threshold.

[0039] In the above step S101, the time range of data acquisition is at least two complete refrigeration cycles, and a complete refrigeration cycle is usually divided into years. The operation data of the refrigeration unit from June to October in the refrigeration cycle is obtained, and the refrigeration cycle data in other time ranges can also be obtained, which is not specifically limited here.

[0040] The operation data of the refrigeration unit includes at least historical approach temperature data, load rate data and on / off status data.

[0041] Obtain historical approach temperature data. The specific steps include: determining the equipment type of the refrigeration unit, and then inputting the relevant parameters of the refrigeration unit into the calculation formula according to the equipment type to obtain the historical approach temperature. If the equipment is an evaporator, obtain the chilled water outlet temperature t f , refrigerant saturated evaporation temperature t eva , using the approximate temperature calculation formula t = t f -t eva , calculate the historical approach temperature; if the device is a condenser, obtain the refrigerant saturated condensing temperature t cond , Cooling water outlet temperature t c , using the approximate temperature calculation formula t = t cond -t c , and the historical approach temperature is obtained. It should be noted that the units of the historical approach temperatures obtained through the above calculations are all degrees Celsius.

[0042] Secondly, for the load rate of the refrigeration unit, if it can be directly obtained, the load rate of the refrigeration unit can be obtained by calculating the percentage of the average load of the refrigeration unit during the maximum load period of the refrigeration system and the maximum load of the refrigeration unit during this period. For the load rate that cannot be obtained directly, it can be obtained indirectly by other means. For example, for centrifugal refrigeration units, the guide vane opening can be used instead of the load rate, and for spiral refrigeration units, the slide valve position can be used instead of the load rate.

[0043] Finally, obtain the on / off status data of the refrigeration unit. Usually, the start / stop status of the refrigeration unit is displayed as 1 for on and 0 for off. For example, when the time is 5:00-6:00, the operating status of the refrigeration unit is displayed as 1, and the device is in the on state. Based on the obtained on / off status record, the 24-hour operating status information of the refrigeration unit is determined.

[0044] In the above step S102, first, clustering processing is performed on the operation data of the refrigeration unit.

[0045] Specifically, the operation data of the refrigeration unit within the preset time length is obtained, and clustering processing is performed based on the target time granularity within the preset time length. The target time granularity can be set to 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc., and is determined according to the specific application situation. In this embodiment, the historical approach temperature data, load rate data and power on / off status data within the preset time length are obtained, the target time granularity is set to 1 hour, and the data are divided according to the target time granularity, and clustering processing is performed respectively. Specifically, for the historical approach temperature data, the average of multiple data within the same hour is taken as the final approach temperature of the hour; for the load rate data, the load rate in percentage form is uniformly converted into a decimal form between 0 and 1, and the average of multiple data within the same hour is taken as the final load rate of the hour; for the power on / off status data, according to the rule that the power on is 1 and the power off is 0, the power on / off status data is converted into a numerical form, and the maximum value of multiple data within the same hour is taken as the final power on / off status of the hour. After the clustering processing is completed, the clustered operation data is obtained.

[0046] Furthermore, the clustered operation data is processed, and the processing method at least includes valid data screening, elimination of abnormal values, merging of identical values, and completion of missing values. Specifically, the valid data screening is first screened according to the power-on / off status value, wherein the power-on / off status value is converted into a numerical form according to the rule that the power-on status value is 1 and the power-off status value is 0. The data with the power-on / off status value of 0 is deleted, that is, only the data with the power-on status value of 1 is retained, and then the data with the load rate less than 0.5 or greater than 0.9 is filtered out.

[0047] Eliminating abnormal values ​​means eliminating values ​​that are too large or too small. In this embodiment, if it is approaching temperature data, values ​​greater than 10 or less than 0 are eliminated. If it is load rate, the load rate in percentage is first uniformly converted into a decimal form between 0 and 1, and values ​​greater than 1 or less than 0 are eliminated. The same values ​​are merged, and the approaching temperature data, load rate data, and the on / off status data of the refrigeration unit are spliced ​​according to the timestamp records for the same period of time.

[0048] The time information of each preprocessed operation data is processed to extract the time features of each operation data, which at least include year, month, day, and week. For example, if the time information is "2021-12-20", the corresponding time information is extracted to obtain four features of "2021", "12", "20" and "52", which represent 2021, December, 20th and the 52nd week respectively.

[0049] In the above step S103, the real value of the comprehensive approach temperature is obtained, which needs to be calculated using the obtained operating data. Figure 2 : is a flow chart of calculating the real value of the comprehensive approaching temperature in a method for predicting the cleaning time of a refrigeration unit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, calculating the comprehensive approach temperature true value includes the following steps:

[0050] S201, obtaining a load rate, dividing the load rate into intervals, and determining the number of load rate intervals.

[0051] According to the preset load rate interval division rule, the load rate is divided into corresponding load rate intervals, and the load rate is divided at intervals of 0.1 or 0.05, and the number of load rate intervals is m. In this embodiment, based on expert experience, the load rate of the refrigeration unit is operated between 0.5-0.9, and the load rate intervals are divided at intervals of 0.1, and the load rate intervals of the refrigeration unit are [0.5, 0.6), [0.6, 0.7), [0.7, 0.8), [0.8, 0.9], and the number of load rate intervals m is 4.

[0052] S202, based on the load rate interval, calculating the data volume within the load rate interval and the total data volume, and then determining the proportion of the data volume within the load rate interval to the total data volume.

[0053] Based on the load rate interval, calculate the amount of data in the load rate interval, and add up the amount of data in each interval to get the total amount of data. [a,b] Divide by the total data volume n, and get the proportion of the data volume in each load rate interval to the total data volume f [a,b] .

[0054] n=n [0.5,0.6) +n [0.6,0.7) +n [0.7,0.8) +n [0.8,0.9]

[0055]

[0056]

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] S203, based on the amount of data in each load factor interval, calculate the average value of the approach temperature in each load factor interval.

[0060] Get the historical approximate temperature data of the i-th data within a certain day's load rate interval Based on the amount of data n in the load rate interval [a,b] [a,b] , the average temperature is calculated by the following formula.

[0061]

[0062] S204, calculating the actual value of the daily comprehensive approach temperature based on the number of each load rate interval, the ratio of the data volume in the interval to the total data volume, and the average approach temperature.

[0063] The historical approach temperature data in each load rate interval on the same day are processed according to the above steps to obtain the average approach temperature in each load rate interval.

[0064] The number of load rate intervals m and the proportion of data in the load rate interval to the total data volume f i , the average temperature approaching in each load rate range The daily comprehensive approach temperature true value t is calculated by weighted summation of the following formula: cp .

[0065]

[0066] The historical approach temperature data of all dates are processed according to the above steps to obtain the actual value of the daily comprehensive approach temperature under the dynamic load rate.

[0067] In the above step S104, based on the time characteristics of the operating data and the real value of the comprehensive approach temperature, a regression model is used to tune the parameters and construct an initial comprehensive approach temperature model.

[0068] y=Model(x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ,x 4 ),

[0069] Among them, x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ,x 4 represents the time characteristic data year, month, day, and week obtained after data processing, and y represents the comprehensive approach temperature value t obtained after data processing cp .

[0070] The pre-acquired time characteristics of the refrigeration unit are input as samples into the comprehensive approaching temperature prediction model, and the output value is the comprehensive approaching temperature prediction value. According to the comprehensive approaching temperature prediction value and the comprehensive approaching temperature true value, a loss function is constructed.

[0071]

[0072] Among them, k represents the number of training samples, y i represents the comprehensive approach to the true value of the temperature of the i-th sample, represents the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value calculated by the model for the i-th sample.

[0073] The comprehensive approximate temperature prediction model is iteratively trained using the loss function until the preset number of rounds is reached and the loss function reaches the threshold. When the value of the loss function reaches the threshold, the training is terminated to obtain the target comprehensive approximate temperature prediction model.

[0074] In the above step S105, the prediction time of the next refrigeration cycle is set, and the set prediction time is not more than 90 days. The prediction time feature is extracted, and the prediction time feature is input into the target comprehensive approach temperature prediction model to obtain the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value of each day within the prediction time.

[0075] As an example, take the forecast of the comprehensive approach temperature of the refrigeration unit in the next 60 days as an example to forecast the comprehensive approach temperature forecast value of the next refrigeration cycle. Process the date data of 60 days to obtain the time features of year, month, day and week. Set the time feature as x e Input into the trained comprehensive approach temperature prediction model to obtain the daily comprehensive approach temperature prediction value

[0076]

[0077] In the above step S106, the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value is compared with the comprehensive approach temperature threshold, wherein the comprehensive approach temperature threshold is obtained by calculation.

[0078] The steps for calculating the comprehensive approaching temperature threshold are as follows: In this embodiment, first, the load rate is divided into [0.5, 0.6), [0.6, 0.7), [0.7, 0.8) and [0.8, 0.9] with a load rate interval of 0.1, and the number of intervals m is determined to be 4. Then, based on the divided intervals, the proportion of the data volume in the load rate interval to the total data volume is calculated. i The approaching temperature threshold T in each load rate interval i According to expert experience, the approach temperature thresholds of the evaporator are 1.8, 2.1, 2.4 and 2.7, respectively, and the approach temperature thresholds of the condenser corresponding to each interval are 2.4, 2.8, 3.2 and 3.6, respectively.

[0079] The comprehensive approach temperature threshold value T is obtained by the comprehensive approach temperature threshold value calculation formula as shown below.

[0080]

[0081] It is determined in turn whether the daily predicted comprehensive approach temperature value within the prediction time range is greater than the comprehensive approach temperature threshold. If the predicted comprehensive approach temperature value of a certain day is greater than the comprehensive approach temperature threshold, the day is determined to be the latest cleaning time for the refrigeration unit. For example, if the predicted comprehensive approach temperature value is 3.5°C and the comprehensive approach temperature threshold is 3°C, and the predicted comprehensive approach temperature value is greater than the comprehensive approach temperature threshold, then when the predicted comprehensive approach temperature value is 3.5°C, the day is determined to be the latest cleaning time for the refrigeration unit.

[0082] A method for predicting the cleaning time of a refrigeration unit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the following steps: obtaining operating data of the refrigeration unit according to a preset refrigeration cycle, wherein the operating data at least includes historical approach temperature data, load rate data and on / off state data; preprocessing the operating data of the refrigeration unit to extract time characteristics of the operating data; dividing the load rate data into preset load rate intervals, and calculating the daily comprehensive approach temperature true value; taking the time characteristics as input and the comprehensive approach temperature true value as output, training an initial comprehensive approach temperature model to obtain a target comprehensive approach temperature prediction model; extracting time characteristics based on the predicted time of the next refrigeration cycle, and inputting the predicted time characteristics into the target comprehensive approach temperature prediction model to obtain a comprehensive approach temperature prediction value; determining the cleaning time of the refrigeration unit based on the comprehensive approach temperature prediction value and the comprehensive approach temperature threshold. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can predict the dirt cleaning time of the refrigeration unit by combining the comprehensive approach temperature prediction model with the power on / off state data without relying on manual experience, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can clean the dirt generated in the heat exchanger in time, which is conducive to extending the service life of the refrigeration unit, reducing the energy waste of the compressor, saving production costs, and providing normal cooling capacity. At the same time, the disclosed embodiment continuously trains the prediction model based on the operating status of the refrigeration unit, so that the accuracy of the predicted cleaning time is continuously improved, which helps to achieve accurate operation and maintenance of the equipment and improve the production efficiency of the equipment.
