TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to a machine room air conditioner, a running control method thereof and a running control device thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In 2019, the power usage efficiency (PUE) index of newly built data centers was released by the state and major cities, which has been greatly improved compared with the past. The air conditioning energy consumption of existing data centers accounts for more than 50% of the total energy consumption, and the PUE of the machine room is more than 1.5, and some even close to 2.0. In order to meet or exceed the specified PUE index, the air conditioning products used in newly built data centers need to be innovative in energy saving, and the air conditioning PUE needs to be less than 1.2. In some regions, the outdoor temperature is relatively low in autumn and winter, and by utilizing the natural cold source outdoors, the cooling demand of the machine room can be met while reducing the power consumption, thereby achieving the goal of reducing the PUE of the machine room.
[0003] The traditional compressor / refrigerant pump air conditioner adds a set of refrigerant pump system on the basis of the compressor refrigeration system structure. When the outdoor temperature is low, the refrigerant pump of the air conditioner runs, and the natural cold source on the outdoor side is moved to the indoor side through the heat exchanger; when the outdoor temperature rises and the pump system cannot meet the operating conditions, the refrigerant pump stops running, and the compressor system provides the cooling capacity. This scheme cannot provide sufficient cooling capacity and cannot accurately control the supply air temperature in the transition season because the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is too low. If only one air conditioning unit is running in the machine room, the air conditioning cooling capacity cannot be kept constant during the switching process between the compressor mode and the refrigerant pump mode, which will cause large fluctuations in the temperature of the machine room. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a machine room air conditioner, a running control method thereof and a running control device thereof, which can ensure that the cooling capacity of the air conditioner remains stable during the switching process of the operating mode of the air conditioning body, and reduce the fluctuations in the temperature of the machine room.

[0063] According to the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, the working states of the first compressor 12, the first refrigerant pump 17, the second compressor 22 and the second refrigerant pump 27 are controlled, so that the supply air temperature is kept close to or equal to the target temperature.
[0064] In the machine room air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application, the first refrigeration system 1, the second refrigeration system and the controller are included, the first refrigeration system 1 has the first compressor 12 and the first refrigerant pump 17, and the first refrigeration system 1 can switch between the compressor mode and the refrigerant pump mode for refrigeration, and the second refrigeration system has the second compressor 22 and the second refrigerant pump 27, and the second refrigeration system can also switch between the compressor mode and the refrigerant pump mode for refrigeration, the first evaporator 11 in the first refrigeration system 1 and the second evaporator 21 in the second refrigeration system are arranged in sequence in the ventilation duct along the direction from the return air inlet to the supply air outlet, when the return air in the room enters the ventilation duct from the return air inlet, the first refrigeration system 1 can pre-cool the return air, and the second refrigeration system can re-cool the return air, the controller can control the working states of the first compressor 12, the first refrigerant pump 17, the second compressor 22 and the second refrigerant pump 27 according to the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, the refrigeration mode of the first refrigeration system 1 can be switched in cooperation with the refrigeration mode of the second refrigeration system, so that the supply air temperature is close to or equal to the target temperature, the refrigeration capacity of the air conditioner is kept stable during the switching process of the operation mode of the air conditioning body, and the fluctuation of the temperature in the machine room is reduced.
[0065] It should be noted that the above supply air temperature close to the target temperature means that the temperature difference between the supply air temperature and the target temperature is within the preset temperature difference range, for example, the preset temperature difference range between the supply air temperature and the target temperature is greater than -0.5° and less than 0.5°, or other preset temperature difference range, which is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.
[0066] The first evaporator 11 and the second evaporator 21 are located on the indoor side and can realize heat exchange between indoor return air and refrigerant. The first evaporator 11 and the second evaporator 21 are arranged in the ventilation air duct in sequence, and can be realized by the laminated design of the coil of the first evaporator 11 and the coil of the second evaporator 21, that is, the first evaporator 11 and the second evaporator 21 are arranged in parallel along the path of the ventilation air duct.

The first condenser 13 and the second condenser 23 are located on the outdoor side and can realize heat exchange between external air and refrigerant. The first throttling valve and the second throttling valve can be electronic expansion valves.
[0067] Specifically, the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor and the third temperature sensor can be temperature sensors with single temperature detection function, or composite multifunctional sensors capable of detecting temperature and other parameters, which is not limited here.
[0068] Specifically, the first refrigeration system 1 of the machine room air conditioner can further include a first liquid storage tank 18 and a fifth one-way valve 19, and the second refrigeration system can further include a second liquid storage tank 28 and a sixth one-way valve 29; the first liquid storage tank 18 is located on the pipeline connected between the first condenser 13 and the first one-way valve 14, and the second liquid storage tank 28 is located on the pipeline connected between the second condenser 23 and the third one-way valve 24, which can ensure stable transmission of refrigerant in the refrigeration system; the fifth one-way valve 19 is located on the pipeline between the first compressor 12 and the first condenser 13 and is connected in parallel with the second one-way valve 16, and the sixth one-way valve 29 is located on the pipeline between the second compressor 22 and the second condenser 23 and is connected in parallel with the fourth one-way valve 26, which can prevent the refrigerant from flowing back to the compressor.
[0069] In the above machine room air conditioner, the first refrigeration system 1 can pre-cool the return air, the second refrigeration system can re-cool the return air, the first refrigeration system 1 has a compressor refrigeration mode and a refrigerant pump refrigeration mode, the second refrigeration system has a compressor refrigeration mode and a refrigerant pump refrigeration mode, the first refrigeration system 1 and the second refrigeration system cooperate, and the air conditioning body can also have multiple refrigeration modes. In order to save energy and fully utilize natural cold sources, the operation mode of the air conditioning body can be divided into a refrigeration mode, a partial economy mode and a full economy mode. When the air conditioner is in the refrigeration mode, the first compressor 12 and the second compressor 22 operate, when the air conditioner is in the partial economy mode, the first refrigerant pump 17 and the second compressor 22 operate, and when the air conditioner is in the full economy mode, the first refrigerant pump 17 and the second refrigerant pump 27 operate.
[0070] In the above first refrigeration system, when the first compressor 12 operates, the first check valve 14 is turned on, the second check valve 16 is turned off, and the first refrigerant pump 17 is bypassed. The air conditioner is refrigerated by the first compressor 12 to provide cold energy. When the first refrigerant pump 17 operates, the second check valve 16 is turned on, the first check valve 14 is turned off, and the first compressor 12 is bypassed. The air conditioner is refrigerated by the first refrigerant pump 17 to provide cold energy.
[0071] In the above second refrigeration system, when the second compressor 22 operates, the third check valve 24 is turned on, the fourth check valve 26 is turned off, and the second refrigerant pump 27 is bypassed. The air conditioner is refrigerated by the second compressor 22 to provide cold energy. When the second refrigerant pump 27 operates, the fourth check valve 26 is turned on, the third check valve 24 is turned off, and the second compressor 22 is bypassed. The air conditioner is refrigerated by the second refrigerant pump 27 to provide cold energy.
[0072] In a specific embodiment, in order to save energy and fully utilize natural cold sources, the controller can be specifically used for:
[0073] If the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature is less than or equal to a first preset threshold A, the first compressor 12 and the second compressor 22 are controlled to operate, and the first refrigerant pump 17 and the second refrigerant pump 27 are controlled to be closed, so that the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode. For example, when the outdoor environment temperature is high and the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature is negative, in the case that natural cold sources cannot be utilized to achieve refrigeration capacity, the compressor refrigeration in the two refrigeration systems is used to provide the refrigeration capacity required by the air conditioner.
[0074] If the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature is greater than the first preset threshold A and less than the second preset threshold B, the second compressor 22 and the first refrigerant pump 17 are controlled to operate, the first compressor 12 and the second refrigerant pump 27 are controlled to be closed, so that the air conditioner runs in the partial economic mode, and the second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold; for example, in the transition season, when the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is too low, the first refrigerant pump 17 in the first refrigeration system 1 can be used for refrigeration, the return air in the room is pre-cooled by using the natural cold source, the energy consumption of the unit is saved, the second compressor 22 in the second refrigeration system is used for refrigeration, and the return air in the room is re-cooled to ensure the air supply temperature of the air conditioner, thereby ensuring the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioning unit.
[0075] If the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold B, the first refrigerant pump 17 and the second refrigerant pump 27 are controlled to operate, and the first compressor 12 and the second compressor 22 are controlled to be closed, so that the air conditioner runs in the full economic mode; for example, when the outdoor environment temperature is low, the refrigerant pumps in the two refrigeration systems can be used for refrigeration, the natural cold source on the outdoor side is moved to the indoor side through the evaporator heat exchange, the natural cold source is fully used to meet the refrigerating capacity demand of the air conditioning unit, and the energy consumption can be saved.
[0076] The air conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the application can control the switching of the operation mode of the air conditioner according to the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature, can save energy consumption, and can reduce the fluctuation of the air conditioning refrigerating capacity and the fluctuation of the temperature in the machine room during the switching process of the operation mode of the air conditioner compared with the prior art.
[0077] The controller can also be configured to adjust the values of the first preset threshold A and the second preset threshold B according to the air conditioning load. That is, the switching points of the air conditioning operation mode, the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, can be adjusted according to the air conditioning load, the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be increased when the air conditioning load decreases, and the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be decreased when the air conditioning load increases. The corresponding operation mode is switched at the corresponding first preset threshold and second preset threshold, so that the system can have the highest energy efficiency and the system energy consumption can be reduced.
[0078] Specifically, in order to better meet the air conditioning refrigerating capacity adjustment, the first compressor 12, the second compressor 22, the first refrigerant pump 17 and the second refrigerant pump 27 can be designed as variable frequency. The first compressor 12 and the second compressor 22 can be variable frequency compressors, or can be multi-stage compressors or multiple compressors connected in parallel, so as to realize variable frequency, which is not limited here and can be selected according to actual needs. The first refrigerant pump 17 and the second refrigerant pump 27 can be variable frequency refrigerant pumps, or can be refrigerant pumps controlled by a frequency converter, which is not limited here and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0079] The machine room air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application has the advantages that Figure 2a and Figure 2b The controller can be specifically configured to: when the air conditioner is running in the cooling mode, control the first compressor 12 to run at the first running frequency H1 and control the second compressor 22 to run at the second running frequency H2; when the air conditioner is running in the partial economy mode, control the second compressor 22 to run at the third running frequency H3 and control the first refrigerant pump 17 to run at the fourth running frequency H4; and when the air conditioner is running in the full economy mode, control the first refrigerant pump 17 to run at the fifth running frequency H5 and control the second refrigerant pump 27 to run at the sixth running frequency H6. The first running frequency H1, the second running frequency H2, the third running frequency H3, the fourth running frequency H4, the fifth running frequency H5 and the sixth running frequency H6 can be calculated by the controller according to PID comparison of the supply air temperature and the target temperature, so that the supply air temperature is close to or equal to the target temperature, which is not specifically limited herein.
[0080] The machine room air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application has the advantages that, in order to ensure the stability of the supply air temperature during the switching process of the operation mode of the air conditioner, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched between the cooling mode and the partial economy mode, the controller can be specifically configured to: adjust the working states of the first compressor 12, the first refrigerant pump 17 and the second compressor 22, so that the supply air temperature is kept close to or equal to the target temperature.
[0081] Specifically, during the process of switching from the cooling mode to the partial economy mode, that is, during the running process of the cooling mode, if the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature is greater than the first preset threshold A and less than the second preset threshold B, the air conditioner enters the partial economy mode, as shown in Figure 2a The controller can be specifically configured to:
[0082] First, the first compressor 12 is controlled to be gradually reduced in frequency from the first running frequency H1 to the seventh running frequency H7 at a first preset frequency reduction speed and then be turned off, and the second compressor 22 is controlled to be gradually increased in frequency from the second running frequency H2 to the eighth running frequency H8 at a first preset frequency increase speed, so that the supply air temperature is kept close to or equal to the target temperature during the process of turning off the first compressor 12, the supply air temperature is kept constant and fluctuation is avoided.
[0083] Then, the first refrigerant pump 17 is controlled to be turned on and gradually increased in frequency to the fourth running frequency H4 at a second preset frequency increase speed, and the second compressor 22 is controlled to be gradually reduced in frequency from the eighth running frequency H8 to the third running frequency H3 at a second preset frequency reduction speed, so that the air conditioner runs in the partial economy mode, the supply air temperature is kept close to or equal to the target temperature during the process of switching to the running of the first refrigerant pump 17, the supply air temperature is kept constant and fluctuation is avoided.
[0084] Specifically, when the air conditioner enters the cooling mode from the partial economy mode, i.e. during the operation of the partial economy mode, if the difference between the return air temperature and the outdoor environment temperature is less than or equal to a first preset threshold A, the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, as shown in the following table. Figure 2b As shown, the controller can be specifically used for:
[0085] First, the first refrigerant pump 17 is controlled to be turned off after being gradually reduced from the fourth operating frequency H4 to the ninth operating frequency H9 at a third preset frequency reduction speed, and the second compressor 22 is controlled to be gradually increased from the third operating frequency H3 to the tenth operating frequency H10 at a third preset frequency increase speed, so that the supply air temperature is kept close to or equal to the target temperature during the process of turning off the first refrigerant pump 17, and the supply air temperature is kept constant to avoid fluctuation.
[0086] Then, the first compressor 12 is controlled to be turned on and gradually increased to the first operating frequency H1 at a fourth preset frequency increase speed, and the second compressor 22 is controlled to be gradually reduced from the tenth operating frequency H10 to the second operating frequency H2 at a fourth preset frequency reduction speed, so that the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, and the supply air temperature is kept close to or equal to the target temperature during the process of switching to the operation of the first compressor 12, and the supply air temperature is kept constant to avoid fluctuation.
[0087] Specifically, the eighth operating frequency H8 and the tenth operating frequency H10 can be calculated by the controller according to the PID comparison of the supply air temperature and the target temperature to achieve that the supply air temperature is close to or equal to the target temperature, which is not limited here.
