[0048] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0049] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate for the embodiments of the present invention described herein. In addition, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0051] In this embodiment, a control method for year-round cooling with a special process is provided. Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method for year-round cooling of the special process provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the control method for year-round cooling of the special process includes:

[0052] Step 101: Obtaining a current return water temperature of a year-round cooling unit, wherein the year-round cooling unit includes two compressors;

[0053] Step 102: Determine whether the current return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit meets the set temperature Ts;

[0054] It should be noted that the set temperature Ts is the temperature value that the cooling unit is expected to reach throughout the year.

[0055] Step 103: When the set temperature Ts is not met, outputting a load instruction or a load reduction instruction to adjust the operation of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit until the return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit meets the set temperature Ts;

[0056] Step 104: When the set temperature Ts is met, a hold instruction is output to stop adjusting the operating condition of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit and operate the year-round cooling unit according to the current operating condition of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit.

[0057] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, when the set temperature Ts is not met, a load instruction or a load reduction instruction is output to adjust the operation of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit until the return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit meets the set temperature Ts, and further includes:

[0058] Step 201: Start;

[0059] Step 202: Obtain the current return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit;

[0060] Step 203: Determine whether the current return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit is greater than the set temperature Ts+ΔT1. If so, proceed to step 204; otherwise, return to step 202.

[0061] It should be noted that △T1 is the temperature deviation value, which is used to avoid frequent start and stop of the cooling unit throughout the year.

[0062] Step 204: Control the year-round cooling unit to start the cooling mode. According to the loading instruction, the compressor with the longest cumulative running time in the year-round cooling unit is started first, and the second compressor is started after an interval of S1 seconds.

[0063] It should be noted that the interval of S1 seconds is to reduce the impact on the power grid caused by the simultaneous startup of compressors.

[0064] Step 205: After the second compressor is started for S2 seconds, determine whether the current return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit is greater than the set temperature Ts+ΔT2; if so, return to step 203; otherwise, proceed to step 206;

[0065] It should be noted that the preset time S2 seconds stipulates the minimum running time after the second compressor is started, in order to ensure that the compressor lubricating oil has sufficient time to flow back to the bottom of the compressor.

[0066] It should be noted that △T2 specifies the condition for the compressor to meet the load reduction, that is, the deviation value from the set temperature Ts; according to the regulations, △T2 is less than △T1.

[0067] Step 206: After the second compressor starts for S3 seconds, the compressor that started first is shut down according to the load reduction instruction. The purpose of shutting down the compressor that started first is to ensure that the two compressors can wear evenly.

[0068] It should be noted that the preset time S3 seconds is the cumulative running time of the second compressor after this startup. In principle, S3 should be greater than or equal to S2.

[0069] Step 207: Determine whether the current return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit is greater than the set temperature Ts. If so, return to step 203; otherwise, proceed to step 208.

[0070] Step 208: Turn off the second compressor;

[0071] Step 209: End.

[0072] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the year-round cooling unit also includes a circulation fan and:

[0073] Step 301: Start;

[0074] Step 302: Obtain the current exhaust pressure P of the year-round cooling unit;

[0075] Step 303: After the cooling mode of the year-round cooling unit is turned on for S seconds, determine whether the current exhaust pressure P of the year-round cooling unit is greater than the set pressure Pd. If so, return to step 302; otherwise, proceed to step 304.

[0076] Step 304: adjusting the speed of the circulation fan according to the current exhaust pressure P of the year-round cooling unit;

[0077] Step 305: End.

[0078] The present invention provides a control method for year-round cooling in a special process flow. When the process demand for cooling load decreases rapidly, the return water temperature shows a downward trend. By reducing the load in advance, the rate of return water temperature reduction is slowed down. On the one hand, it avoids the risk of over-adjustment of return water temperature due to small water capacity, which causes an alarm of too low evaporation temperature and even freezes the water-side heat exchanger. On the other hand, when the process demand for cooling load increases rapidly, the return water temperature rises rapidly and the compressor needs to start working quickly. The downtime of the compressor that has been reduced in advance meets the minimum downtime of the compressor, thereby shortening the response time of the compressor. In addition, under low ambient temperature, the fan speed is controlled according to the set pressure switch value, and the condensing pressure is controlled by controlling the air volume of the air-side heat exchanger, thereby improving the cooling capacity, COP and the problem of the unit failing to start of the year-round cooling unit.

[0079] As another embodiment of the present invention, a control device for year-round cooling with a special process is provided. Figure 4 As shown, the control device for year-round cooling of the special process includes:

[0082] an adjustment unit, configured to output a load instruction or a load reduction instruction when the set temperature Ts is not met, so as to adjust the operation of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit until the return water temperature of the year-round cooling unit meets the set temperature Ts;

[0083] An operating unit is used to output a hold instruction to stop adjusting the operating condition of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit when the set temperature Ts is met, and to operate the year-round cooling unit according to the current operating condition of the compressor in the year-round cooling unit.

[0084] The control device for year-round cooling of a special process provided by the present invention has a downward trend in the return water temperature when the process demand for cooling load decreases rapidly. By reducing the load in advance, the rate of return water temperature reduction is slowed down. On the one hand, it avoids the risk of over-adjustment of return water temperature due to small water capacity, which causes an alarm of too low evaporation temperature and even freezes the water-side heat exchanger. On the other hand, when the process demand for cooling load increases rapidly, the return water temperature rises rapidly and the compressor needs to start working quickly. The downtime of the compressor that has been reduced in advance meets the minimum downtime of the compressor, thereby shortening the response time of the compressor. In addition, at low ambient temperatures, the fan speed is controlled according to the set pressure switch value, and the condensing pressure is controlled by controlling the air volume of the air-side heat exchanger, thereby improving the cooling capacity, COP and the problem of the unit failing to start of the year-round cooling unit.
