Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of heating automation, and particularly to a method, device and application for regulating the heat balance at the end of a building central heating system. Background Art
[0002] The thermal imbalance of users in the secondary pipe network of a central heating system is a common phenomenon in the central heating system: due to reasons such as the floor of the user and the location of the heating room (whether the end is in a favorable or unfavorable position), the heat supply to users is unbalanced, mainly manifested as uneven heating and cooling in each area. In the overheated area, energy waste may occur, while in the colder area, the user comfort level decreases and the number of complaints increases.
[0003] Common technical control means for this problem include: using a balance valve to re-distribute and control the flow rate of heat users; installing a temperature control regulating valve at the end to control the flow rate of heat users; installing a differential pressure control valve in the pipeline to regulate the differential pressure between the unfavorable loop and the favorable loop; installing an energy meter and a regulating valve at the user end to control the heat quantity, etc., to solve the heat balance problem and reduce the system energy consumption.
[0004] During actual regulation, in some areas, when the building is in different times and different weathers, the heat transfer through the building envelope changes greatly. Usually, when there is no sunlight and when there is sufficient sunlight, the heat transfer through the building envelope in each heating area of the building varies greatly, and at this time, uneven heating and cooling in the building heating area are likely to occur: assume that when the heating system just starts heating, the temperatures of the "sunny side" (mainly referring to the south facing the sun, and secondly referring to the east and west sides with the same sunlight conditions (specifically in the northern hemisphere)) and the "shady side" (mainly referring to the north side without sunlight conditions (specifically in the northern hemisphere)) of the building have not reached the set temperature. At this time, all the valves for regulating the flow rate are at the maximum opening. It is very likely that due to excessive heat transfer through the building envelope on the sunny side of the building, the indoor set temperature is reached earlier than that on the "shady side" of the building. After the indoor temperature reaches the set value, the regulating valve in the "sunny side" area will then close or be at a smaller opening. At this time, the heating effect on the "shady side" begins to improve until it slowly reaches the set temperature. Therefore, when the weather is good and there is sufficient sunlight, during the process from the start of heating until all areas of the building reach the set temperature, the "sunny side" of the building will meet the temperature setting requirements in advance, resulting in a relatively decreased comfort level and an increased number of complaints for the users on the "shady side". In some cases, even if the flow regulating valve in the "sunny side" area is fully closed, the indoor temperature will still gradually be higher than the set temperature, causing overheating, while it is very difficult for the "shady side" to reach the set indoor temperature.
[0005] In the centralized heating system of buildings in some areas, the secondary heat supply of heat users often shows uneven heating and cooling. The common regulation methods are to increase the regulation of temperature control valves and increase the flow regulation of various balance valves. However, if the change of heat transfer through the building envelope is not considered, when there is sufficient sunlight, it will still cause the indoor temperature on the "sunny side" of the building to rise too fast, and the indoor temperature will reach the set value faster than the "shaded side" of the building, resulting in uneven heating and cooling in the internal heating area of the building. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the problem of uneven heating and cooling in the secondary heat supply of heat users in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, device and application for adjusting the heat balance at the end of a building centralized heating system to improve the heat balance in the building centralized heating system.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] A method for adjusting the heat balance at the end of a building centralized heating system includes the following specific steps: S1. Divide the centralized heating system into several heating loops, each heating loop is controlled by an independent loop control system, and each heating loop is divided into several areas; S2. Start heating; S3. Judge whether the indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature of the thermostat; S4. If the indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature of the thermostat, the temperature control valve is closed and does not participate in the regulation, and then repeat S3; S5. If the indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature of the thermostat, the temperature control valve is opened for regulation; S6. Collect the indoor temperature change rate at intervals of z minutes, that is, collect the data of the indoor temperature sensors in each area within a single heating loop, and calculate the indoor temperature change rate T ch / min within each area of a single heating loop every z minutes; S7. After delaying for n minutes, regulate the overall indoor temperature of the building; S8. Judge whether all areas meet the requirements; S9. If all areas meet the requirements, end the regulation; S10. If there are areas that do not meet the requirements, delay for n + t minutes after that, where t ≤ 60 min; regulate the temperature of each area within the heating loop; S11. Judge whether the total flow regulating valve of the current loop is fully opened or fully closed; S12. If the total flow regulating valve of the current loop is fully opened or fully closed, and after delaying for e minutes, increase the frequency of the hot water circulation pump; where the delayed e minutes is greater than the interval time z and is an integer multiple of the interval time z; S13. After delaying for r minutes, repeat S8 - S12.
[0009] As a further preference of the present invention, the interval time z in step S6 is set according to requirements, the interval time z is set to 0.1 min - 10 min, and in step S7, the delayed n minutes is greater than the interval time z and n is an integer multiple of z.
[0010] As a further preference of the present invention, the specific steps in step S7 are as follows: S7.1. After a delay of n minutes, calculate and determine whether the indoor temperature change rate in each area is qualified, that is, calculate the time required for the indoor temperature in the heating loop to reach the lowest heating temperature according to the temperature change rate, and determine whether this time is within the set time T; S7.2. If the indoor temperature change rate is unqualified, the temperature control valve remains at the maximum opening of 100%; S7.3. If the indoor temperature change rate is qualified, determine whether the qualified area is located on the "sunny side" of the building; S7.4. If it is not in the "sunny side" area, the temperature control valve remains in its original state, that is, fully open; S7.5. If it is on the "sunny side", determine whether the following conditions are met: 1. The indoor temperature change rate in the area is higher than the average temperature change rate; 2. The outdoor temperature sensor installed on the outer wall of the "sunny side" is warmer than the outdoor temperature sensor installed on the outer wall of the "shady side"; S7.6. If only condition 1 is met, the temperature control valve is gradually closed, and the minimum opening of the temperature control valve is set to 10%-30%; S7.7. If both conditions 1 and 2 are met, the temperature control valve is gradually closed until the temperature control valve is completely closed; S7.8. After steps S7.2, S7.4, S7.6 and S7.7 are completed, after a delay of w minutes, repeat S7.1-S7.7, where the delay w minutes is greater than the interval time z and is an integer multiple of the interval time z.
[0011] As a further preference of the present invention, in step S7.3, the "sunny side" is a fixed sunny side area preset in the system.
[0012] As a further preference of the present invention, in step S7.7, the minimum opening of the temperature control valve is 0%; in step S7.6, the minimum opening of the temperature control valve is 20%.
[0013] The requirement in step S8 is to sum up the designed heating flow rates of the areas where the temperature change rate in the heating loop is unqualified. If the obtained result reaches more than q% of the total designed heating flow rate of the area, it is determined that the area fails to meet the heating requirement, and the range of q% is 2% - 30%.
[0014] As a further preference of the present invention, the specific steps for temperature regulation of each area in the heating loop in step S10 are as follows: S10.1. Determine whether the total designed heating flow rate in the unqualified area reaches more than q% of the total designed heating flow rate of this area; S10.2. If it is less than q%, then all the total flow regulating valves in the heating loop remain in their positions unchanged; S10.3. If it is greater than or equal to q%, then the loop controller uploads the regulation result to the main controller of the heating system, and the main controller of the heating system redistributes the balance heat again; S10.4. Determine whether the average temperature change rate in the heating loop meets the requirements; S10.5. If it does not meet the requirements, then the total flow regulating valve of the loop is gradually opened; S10.6. If it meets the requirements, then the total flow regulating valve of the loop is gradually closed; S10.7. After S10.5 and S10.6 are completed, determine whether the current total flow regulating valve of the loop is opened to the maximum or closed to the minimum; S10.8. If the current total flow regulating valve of the loop is opened to the maximum or closed to the minimum, then perform S12; S10.9. If the current total flow regulating valve of the loop is not opened to the maximum or closed to the minimum; then after a delay of k minutes, repeat S10.1 - S10.8, where the delay of k minutes is greater than the interval time z and is an integer multiple of the interval time z.
