Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of refrigeration technology, for example, to a method, device, air conditioner and storage medium for preventing refrigerant decomposition. Background Art

[0002] The refrigerant in the air conditioner is an important part of the air conditioner to achieve the control of the ambient temperature. With the continuous development of air conditioning technology, the types of refrigerants are constantly changing. People are constantly looking for environmentally friendly, efficient and energy-saving refrigerants for air conditioners. Among them, the ODP (ozone depletion potential) and GWP (Global Warming Potential) of R161 (fluoranylethane) refrigerant are much lower than those of R22 (chlorodifluoromethane, Freon-22) refrigerant. At the same time, its light haze corresponding value is much lower than that of hydrocarbon refrigerants, and its comprehensive environmental performance is better than that of R22 refrigerants and hydrocarbon refrigerants. In addition, compared with the R22 refrigeration system, the refrigerant charge can be reduced by about 45% and the mass flow rate can be reduced by about 30%. Therefore, R161 refrigerant can be used as a long-term alternative to R22 refrigerant and has good development prospects. However, the stability of R161 refrigerant is relatively weak. When adding conventional compressor lubricant, it will decompose at about 170℃; when in contact with common metals in refrigeration systems such as stainless steel or copper, it will decompose at 200℃. The decomposition of R161 will affect the quality of the compressor lubricant, thus affecting the accuracy of the compressor operation.

[0003] At present, the R161 refrigerant is often prevented from decomposing under heat by improving the R161 refrigerant additive.

[0045] The air conditioner also includes a flow meter, which is arranged in the refrigerant circulation circuit and is configured to detect the refrigerant flow M used by the system.

[0046] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure embodiment discloses a method for preventing high-temperature decomposition of a refrigerant, which is applied to Figure 1 The air conditioner shown in the figure, the method for preventing the refrigerant from high temperature decomposition comprises:

[0047] S201, the processor obtains a mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor.

[0048] S202, during the operation of the compressor, the processor obtains actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner.

[0049] S203: The processor adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the actual device parameters and the mapping relationship to prevent the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor from reaching a temperature threshold.

[0050] The method for preventing high-temperature decomposition of refrigerant provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is first determined to determine the mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor. During the actual operation of the air conditioner, the actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner are detected. And the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the real-time actual equipment parameters and the mapping relationship. In this way, the actual situation of the refrigerant temperature in the compressor can be determined according to the actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner, so that the operating parameters of the compressor can be adjusted in time to avoid the maximum refrigerant temperature in the compressor reaching the temperature threshold, causing the refrigerant to decompose due to heat. This process can be achieved during the normal operation of the air conditioner, without adding a stabilizer to the refrigerant, and will not affect the refrigeration performance of the air conditioner. It is achieved that the refrigerant is prevented from being decomposed by high temperature without affecting the refrigeration performance of the air conditioner, thereby improving the stability of the compressor operation.

[0051] Optionally, the equipment parameters include: compressor operating parameters, compressor frequency, target temperature, heat exchanger temperature and electronic expansion valve opening. The target temperature is the temperature of the target position inside the compressor. The compressor operating parameters include: compressor temperature parameters and compressor pressure parameters. More specifically, the compressor temperature parameters include the compressor return air port temperature and the compressor exhaust port temperature. The compressor pressure parameters include the compressor exhaust port pressure and the compressor return air port pressure. The heat exchanger temperature includes the evaporator temperature and the condenser temperature. More specifically, the evaporator temperature includes the middle temperature of the evaporator, and the condenser temperature includes the middle temperature of the condenser. Setting the equipment parameters in this way can characterize the operation of the air conditioner in detail, and the corresponding maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor is unique.

[0052] Correspondingly, the actual device parameters are device parameters during the actual operation of the air conditioner.

[0053] In common air conditioners, compressor operating parameters, compressor frequency, heat exchanger temperature and electronic expansion valve opening are all conventional feedback data, so there is no need to add new sensors. Only sensors for detecting the target temperature are needed. The structure of the air conditioner has been slightly changed, and the implementation cost of the solution is relatively low.

[0054] Optionally, the temperature threshold is set to be lower than the temperature at which the refrigerant decomposes when heated. For example, R161 refrigerant will begin to decompose when heated at 170°C, and accordingly, the temperature threshold is set to be lower than 170°C. Specifically, the temperature threshold can be set to 150°C. In this way, it can be avoided that during the adjustment of the operating parameters, the refrigerant has been decomposed by heat, thereby interfering with the decomposition products that affect the operation of the compressor.

[0055] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for preventing the refrigerant from being decomposed by heat, comprising:

[0056] S301, the processor simulates the operation of the compressor through the simulation model to obtain a first mapping relationship, wherein the first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the compressor frequency, the compressor temperature parameter, the compressor pressure parameter, the refrigerant flow rate and the target temperature and the maximum refrigerant temperature.

[0057] S302, the processor obtains a second mapping relationship by monitoring the actual operation of the air conditioner, wherein the second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the compressor frequency, the heat exchanger temperature, the electronic expansion valve opening, the compressor temperature parameter, the compressor pressure parameter, the target temperature, and the refrigerant flow rate.

[0058] S303: The processor determines a mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor according to the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship.

[0059] S304: During the operation of the compressor, the processor obtains actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner.

[0060] S305: The processor adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the actual device parameters and the mapping relationship to prevent the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor from reaching a temperature threshold.

[0061] Optionally, the processor simulates the operation of the compressor through a simulation model to obtain a first mapping relationship including: simulating the compressor operating frequency F, compressor exhaust port temperature Td, compressor return air port temperature Ts, compressor exhaust pressure Pd, compressor return air port pressure Ps and refrigerant flow M, obtaining the target temperature Tm and the maximum refrigerant temperature Tmax inside the compressor, and establishing a first mapping relationship.

[0062] Optionally, the processor obtains a second mapping relationship by monitoring the actual operation of the air conditioner, including: at different compressor frequencies F, corresponding to multiple groups of evaporator middle temperatures Te, condenser middle temperatures Tc and electronic expansion valve openings N, detecting the target temperature Tm, compressor exhaust port temperature Td, compressor return air port temperature Ts, compressor exhaust pressure Pd and compressor return air port pressure Ps, and establishing a second mapping relationship.

[0063] Optionally, the processor determines the mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor according to the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship, including: comparing the data groups in the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship to obtain the compressor operating frequency F, the middle temperature Te of the evaporator, the middle temperature Tc of the condenser, and the opening N of the electronic expansion valve, and detecting the mapping relationship between the target temperature Tm, the compressor exhaust port temperature Td, the compressor return air port temperature Ts and the maximum refrigerant temperature Tmax. More specifically, corresponding to a set of target temperatures Tm, compressor exhaust port temperature Td, compressor return air port temperature Ts, and compressor operating frequency F, the maximum refrigerant temperature Tmax is retrieved according to the first mapping relationship. Corresponding to the same set of target temperatures Tm, compressor exhaust port temperature Td, and compressor return air port temperature Ts, the middle temperature Te of the evaporator and the middle temperature Tc of the condenser are retrieved according to the second mapping relationship. In this way, the mapping relationship between the equipment parameters and the maximum refrigerant temperature can be obtained.

[0064] Optionally, after the processor obtains the first mapping relationship and obtains the second mapping relationship, it also includes: under the same operating conditions, the processor determines the first target temperature according to the first mapping relationship, and determines the second target temperature according to the second mapping relationship. The processor calculates the temperature difference between the first target temperature and the second target temperature. When the temperature reaches the temperature difference threshold, the simulation model is corrected and the first mapping relationship is re-determined. Taking into account that there is a certain error between the data obtained by the simulation and the experimental data, it is necessary to verify the experimental results of the simulation to determine the accuracy. Under the same operating conditions, the target temperature obtained by the simulation is compared with the target temperature obtained by the actual detection. If the temperature difference between the two is large, it means that the error of the simulation is large, and adjustment and optimization are required to simulate an accurate mapping relationship, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the maximum refrigerant temperature.

[0065] Optionally, the temperature difference between the first target temperature and the second target temperature can be reflected as an absolute value of the difference between the first target temperature and the second target temperature. In this way, the calculation process is simplified while accurately reflecting the error of the target temperature.

[0066] Optionally, the temperature difference threshold may determine 5% of the second target temperature.

[0067] Optionally, when the temperature difference is greater than the temperature difference threshold, correcting the simulation model includes: optimizing the finite element model mesh size and boundary layer thickness so that the y+ value of the model is ≤3 or ≥30, or adjusting the model surface roughness setting. And / or, calculating the referenced state equation adjustment to adapt to different state equations. And / or, adjusting boundary conditions, such as adjusting the velocity inlet, pressure outlet, etc. In the case where there is a large error in the data of the simulation model, it means that the simulation model has a setting error. The above-mentioned adjustment process can optimize the setting of the simulation model, thereby reducing the error and obtaining a more accurate mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor.

[0068] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for preventing high-temperature decomposition of a refrigerant, comprising:

[0069] S401, the processor obtains a mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor.

[0070] S402: During the operation of the compressor, the processor obtains actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner.

[0071] S403: The processor determines, based on the mapping relationship, the value ranges of various device parameters when the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor reaches a temperature threshold.

[0072] S404: When the actual device parameter is within the value range, the processor adjusts the operating parameter of the air conditioner so that the value of the experimental device parameter tends to be away from the value range.

[0073] When the highest refrigerant temperature inside the compressor reaches the temperature threshold, the value range of each device parameter can be obtained. Some values ​​in the value range are shown in Table 1.

[0074] Table 1:

[0075] Serial number F Td Ts Tc Te Tm N 1 F1 Td1 Ts1 Tc1 Te1 Tm1 N1 2 F2 Td2 Ts2 Tc2 Te2 Tm2 N2 3 F3 Td3 Ts3 Tc3 Te3 Tm3 N3 … … … … … … … … n Fn Tdn Tsn Tcn Ten Tmn N

[0076] The data in Table 1 correspond to the region A in Figure 5 by expressing the changes of the equipment parameters in the form of a data curve. That is, when the state point of the actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner belongs to region A, the highest refrigerant temperature inside the compressor reaches the temperature threshold and needs to be adjusted.

[0077] Optionally, the processor adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner includes: the processor adjusting the compressor frequency and / or the opening of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner. In this way, adjusting the compressor frequency or adjusting the opening of the electronic expansion valve can cause changes in other device parameters and cause changes in the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor.

[0078] Here combined Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 As shown, the specific process of the processor adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner so that the values ​​of the experimental equipment parameters tend to be far away from the value range is further explained: the processor determines according to the mapping relationship that when the equipment parameters are in area A, the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor reaches the temperature threshold. Therefore, the operating parameters of the air conditioner should be adjusted so that the actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner tend to be far away from the area A. In this way, the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor corresponding to the actual equipment parameters will be less than the temperature threshold, effectively avoiding the refrigerant from being decomposed by high temperature.

[0079] Further, area A is divided into four areas: A1, A2, A3, and A4. The specific adjustment strategy of the operating parameters can be set as follows: when the actual device parameters are in area A1, increase the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and / or increase the frequency of the compressor. When the actual device parameters are in area A2, increase the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and / or reduce the frequency of the compressor. When the actual device parameters are in area A3, reduce the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and / or reduce the frequency of the compressor. When the actual device parameters are in area A4, reduce the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and / or increase the frequency of the compressor. In this way, adjusting the opening of the electronic expansion valve and the frequency of the compressor can cause changes in other device parameters, so that each device parameter is away from the value range, thereby reducing the corresponding maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor, thereby avoiding thermal decomposition of the refrigerant.

[0080] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device 200 for preventing high-temperature decomposition of refrigerant, including a processing module 61, a detection module 62 and a control module 63. Among them, the processing module 61 is configured to obtain a mapping relationship between the device parameters in the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor. The detection module 62 is configured to obtain the actual device parameters of the air conditioner during the operation of the compressor. The control module 63 adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the actual device parameters and the mapping relationship to prevent the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor from reaching the temperature threshold.

[0081] The device for preventing high-temperature decomposition of refrigerant provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to first determine the mapping relationship between the equipment parameters of the air conditioner and the maximum refrigerant temperature inside the compressor. During the actual operation of the air conditioner, the actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner are detected. And the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the real-time actual equipment parameters and the mapping relationship. In this way, the actual situation of the refrigerant temperature in the compressor can be determined according to the actual equipment parameters of the air conditioner, so that the operating parameters of the compressor can be adjusted in time to avoid the maximum refrigerant temperature in the compressor reaching the temperature threshold, causing the refrigerant to decompose due to heat. This process can be achieved during the normal operation of the air conditioner, without adding a stabilizer to the refrigerant, and will not affect the refrigeration performance of the air conditioner. It is achieved that the refrigerant is prevented from being decomposed by high temperature without affecting the refrigeration performance of the air conditioner, thereby improving the stability of the compressor operation.

[0082] Combination Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device 300 for preventing high-temperature decomposition of a refrigerant, including a processor 70 and a memory 71. Optionally, the device may also include a communication interface 72 and a bus 73.
