[0065] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with this disclosure.

[0067] It should also be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for display, data used for analysis, etc.) involved in this disclosure are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties.

[0068] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning system control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1As shown in the illustration, this embodiment uses the method applied to a terminal as an example. It can be understood that the method can also be applied to a server, and can also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and implemented through the interaction between the terminal and the server. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps.

[0069] In step S110, the current operating mode of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is obtained;

[0070] The operating modes of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system can include compressor operating mode, pump operating mode, and pure pump operating mode. For example, it can switch from compressor operating mode to pump operating mode, or from pump operating mode to pure pump operating mode.

[0071] As an example, a refrigerant pump air conditioning system can be configured in a data center server room. By adjusting the cooling output, it can prevent large temperature fluctuations in the data center operating environment caused by the heat generated by IT equipment. For example, in compressor operation mode, the air conditioning equipment can use compressor cooling; in pump operation mode, it can combine outdoor natural cold source and compressor for mixed cooling; in pure pump operation mode, the compressor can be stopped and the refrigerant pump can be turned on to provide cooling output, so as to make full use of outdoor natural cold source.

[0072] In practical applications, the current operating mode of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system can be obtained. When switching modes based on this current mode, a judgment can be made based on the predicted cooling efficiency of the next operating mode to determine whether to control the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to switch to the next operating mode. For example, when the compressor is in operation mode, the predicted cooling efficiency can be determined based on the compressor pump operation mode, or when the compressor pump is in operation mode, the predicted cooling efficiency can be determined based on the pure pump operation mode.

[0073] In step S120, in response to the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode being met, the predicted cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is determined based on the operating mode to be switched to in the current operating mode.

[0074] The mode switching trigger conditions may include different trigger conditions for switching between different operating modes, such as the first trigger condition when switching from compressor operating mode to pump operating mode, and the second trigger condition when switching from pump operating mode to pure pump operating mode.

[0075] As an example, the predicted cooling efficiency can be obtained by simulating the operation of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the operating mode to be switched. For example, the predicted cooling efficiency can be calculated based on the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the next operating mode to be switched.

[0076] In a specific implementation, when the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode is detected, the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the next operating mode to be switched to can be obtained based on the next operating mode to be switched to. Then, the predicted cooling efficiency can be obtained based on the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power, and further judgment can be made based on the predicted cooling efficiency.

[0077] In one example, if the system is currently in compressor operation mode, when the first trigger condition is detected, the first predicted cooling capacity and the first predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the pump operation mode can be obtained to obtain the predicted cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the pump operation mode; if the system is currently in pump operation mode, when the second trigger condition is detected, the second predicted cooling capacity and the second predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the pure pump operation mode can be obtained to obtain the predicted cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the pure pump operation mode.

[0078] In step S130, the current cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode is obtained. If the predicted cooling efficiency is greater than or equal to the current cooling efficiency, the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is controlled to switch to the operating mode to be switched.

[0079] After obtaining the predicted cooling efficiency, the current cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode can be obtained. By comparing the current cooling efficiency with the predicted cooling efficiency, if the predicted cooling efficiency is greater than or equal to the current cooling efficiency, the refrigerant pump air conditioning system can be controlled to switch to the next operating mode to be switched, thereby improving the success rate of mode switching.

[0080] In one example, a refrigerant pump air conditioning system may include at least two subsystems, such as two sets of systems, and the air conditioning system control method in this embodiment can be implemented based on the at least two subsystems; a refrigerant pump air conditioning system may also include one subsystem, such as one set of systems, and the air conditioning system control method in this embodiment can be implemented based on the one subsystem.

[0081] In the aforementioned air conditioning system control method, the current operating mode of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is obtained. Then, in response to the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode, the predicted cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is determined based on the next operating mode to be switched to. The current cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system under the current operating mode is then obtained. If the predicted cooling efficiency is greater than or equal to the current cooling efficiency, the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is controlled to switch to the next operating mode to be switched to. This achieves optimized control for mode switching of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system. When the mode switching trigger condition is detected, the predicted cooling efficiency is determined based on the next operating mode to be switched to, and then mode switching is controlled based on the comparison between the predicted cooling efficiency and the current cooling efficiency. This improves the success rate of mode switching, ensures the temperature stability of the data center computer room, avoids overheating of the computer room due to reduced cooling capacity, and improves the mode switching efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, in response to satisfying the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode, determining the predicted cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system based on the operating mode to be switched to in the current operating mode includes: in response to satisfying the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode, obtaining the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the operating mode to be switched to in the current operating mode; obtaining the predicted cooling efficiency based on the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power; obtaining the current cooling efficiency of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode includes: obtaining the current cooling capacity and current power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode, and obtaining the current cooling efficiency based on the current cooling capacity and current power.

[0083] In practical applications, when the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode is detected, the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the next operating mode to be switched to can be obtained based on the next operating mode to be switched to. The predicted cooling efficiency can be obtained based on the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power. The current cooling capacity and current power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode can be obtained based on the current cooling capacity and current power. Further judgment can be made based on the predicted cooling efficiency and the current cooling efficiency.

[0084] In one example, based on a predictive model, the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power, as well as the current cooling capacity and current power, can be obtained as follows:

[0085] For compressors, a 10-coefficient model can be used:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, T e T cThese are the suction saturation temperature (i.e., evaporation temperature) and the discharge saturation temperature (i.e., condensation temperature), respectively. y is the compressor's cooling capacity, and c1 to c10 are fitting coefficients. The compressor's cooling capacity can be calculated based on the evaporation temperature and the condensation temperature.

[0088] For refrigerant pumps, the rated speed of the pump and the rated speed of the outdoor fan can be set. By testing the cooling capacity at different indoor and outdoor temperatures, a fitting formula can be obtained. For example, if the indoor temperature is 22-25℃ and the outdoor temperature is 5-22℃, the pump cooling capacity formula can be fitted point by point to obtain the formula for the refrigerant pump cooling capacity at different indoor and outdoor temperatures.

[0089] For indoor fans, test conditions can be preset, and the indoor fan power can be tested on-site to fit a formula for the indoor fan power under different load rates.

[0090] For outdoor fans, their speed can be controlled by the condensing pressure. The condensing temperature and condensing pressure are positively correlated, and the outdoor fan power is positively correlated with the outdoor fan speed. The relationship between condensing temperature / condensing pressure and fan speed can be obtained to obtain the fan power. Furthermore, by testing multiple sets of relationships between condensing pressure, fan speed, and fan power, the corresponding formula can be fitted.

[0091] Specifically, taking the switching from compressor operation mode to pump operation mode as an example, the cooling capacity Q1 of system 1 and the cooling capacity Q2 of system 2 can be obtained using a 10-factor model based on the evaporation temperature and condensation temperature. ΔQ 现 (i.e., current cooling capacity) = Q1 + Q2, and the compressor power can be collected by using an electric meter to obtain the power W1 of system 1 and the power W2 of system 2. Q1, Q2, W1, and W2 can be displayed on the screen of the refrigerant pump air conditioning equipment and uploaded to the host computer.

[0092] In one optional embodiment, taking the switch from compressor operation mode to refrigerant pump operation mode as an example, the current state is that the equipment's current operating cooling capacity is 200kW. Using compressor operation mode, the following data can be displayed in real-time on the refrigerant pump air conditioning equipment screen:

[0093] In the current state, Q1 (i.e., the cooling capacity of system 1 compressor), Q2 (i.e., the cooling capacity of system 2 compressor), and W... 压1 (i.e., the power of system 1 compressor), W 压2 (i.e., the power of system 2 compressor), W 内1 (i.e., the power of the fan in system 1), W 内2 (i.e., the power of the fan in system 2), W 外1 (i.e., the power of the external fan of System 1), W 外2 (i.e., the power of the external fan in System 2);

[0094] Predicting parameters that the fluorine pump can provide, Q B1(i.e., the cooling capacity of the system's first refrigerant pump), Q B2 (i.e., the cooling capacity of the system's 2-fluorine pump), W B1 (i.e., the power of the system's first fluorine pump), W B2 (i.e., the power of the fluorine pump in system 2), W′ 内1 (i.e., the power of the fan in system 1), W′ 内2 (i.e., the power of the fan in system 2), W′ 外1 (i.e., the power of the external fan of system 1), W′ 外2 (i.e., the power of the external fan of system 2).

[0095] The outdoor temperature is 18℃, Q1 = Q2 = 100kW, Q B1 =Q B2 =50kW, if switched to pump operation mode, Q B2 It can provide a cooling capacity of 50kW (which can be obtained if the refrigerant pump 2 and the outdoor fan 2 are operating at their rated power, W). B2 and W′ 外2 (Given the known conditions) Compressor 1 can provide a cooling capacity of 100kW, which can be boosted to provide a cooling capacity of 150kW. The evaporation temperature Te and condensation temperature Tc can be derived using a 10-coefficient model. The predicted outdoor fan power W′ can be obtained by fitting the outdoor fan power with the condensation temperature Tc and the outdoor fan speed using a formula. 外1 The indoor fan power remains unchanged before and after the mode switch, i.e., W. 内1 =W′ 内1 =W 内2 =W′ 内2 Due to ΔQ 现 (i.e., current cooling capacity) = (Q1 + Q2), ΔQ 预 (i.e., predicted cooling capacity) = (Q1′ + Q) B2 ), where Q1′ is the cooling capacity that the compressor can provide after frequency conversion; ΔW 现 (i.e., current power) = (W) 压1 +W 压2 +W 内1 +W 内2 +W 外1 +W 外2 ), ΔW 预 (i.e., predicted power) = (W1′ + W) B2 +W′ 内1 +W′ 内2 +W′ 外1 +W′ 外2 ), where W1′ is the power of the compressor after frequency conversion.

[0096] In the technical solution of this embodiment, by responding to the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode, the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the fluorine pump air conditioning system in the to-be-switched operating mode of the current operating mode are obtained. According to the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power, the predicted refrigeration efficiency is obtained, and the current cooling capacity and current power of the fluorine pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode are obtained. And according to the current cooling capacity and current power, the current refrigeration efficiency is obtained, which provides data support for the comparison and judgment of the predicted refrigeration efficiency and the current refrigeration efficiency.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, when the predicted refrigeration efficiency is greater than or equal to the current refrigeration efficiency, controlling the fluorine pump air conditioning system to switch to the to-be-switched operating mode includes: when the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity and the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, controlling the fluorine pump air conditioning system to switch to the to-be-switched operating mode.

[0098] In an example, the comparison and judgment can be made according to the cooling capacity after model switching (i.e., the predicted cooling capacity) and the cooling capacity of the original operating mode (i.e., the current cooling capacity), and according to the power after model switching (i.e., the predicted power) and the power of the original operating mode (i.e., the current power). Furthermore, when the cooling capacity after model switching is greater than or equal to the cooling capacity of the original operating mode and the power after model switching is less than or equal to the power of the original operating mode, it can be determined that the operating mode can be switched, so as to control the fluorine pump air conditioning system to switch to the next to-be-switched operating mode.

[0099] In the technical solution of this embodiment, by controlling the fluorine pump air conditioning system to switch to the to-be-switched operating mode when the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity and the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, it helps to improve the success rate of mode switching and can ensure the temperature stability of the data center computer room.

[0100] In an exemplary embodiment, the mode switching trigger condition may include a first trigger condition for triggering the switch to the pressure pump operation mode. By responding to the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode, obtaining the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the fluorine pump air conditioning system in the to-be-switched operating mode of the current operating mode includes: when the current operating mode is the compressor operation mode, confirming that the to-be-switched operating mode is the pressure pump operation mode; by responding to the satisfaction of the first trigger condition, obtaining the first predicted cooling capacity and the first predicted power of the fluorine pump air conditioning system in the pressure pump operation mode.

[0101] As an example, the first trigger condition may be that the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the outdoor set switching temperature in the compressor operation mode, such as T0 < Test1, and lasts for 1 min, and the current supply air temperature is lower than the preset supply air temperature in the compressor operation mode by 25%, and lasts for 30 s. It can also be preset as other trigger conditions, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0102] Taking the example of a fluorine pump air-conditioning system including at least two subsystems, for example Figure 2a As shown, in the compressor operation mode, the variable-frequency compressor 1 corresponding to System 1 in the fluorine pump air-conditioning system is turned on, the fluorine pump 1 is turned off, and the variable-frequency compressor 2 corresponding to System 2 is turned on, and the fluorine pump 2 is turned off; as Figure 2b As shown, in the pressure pump operation mode, the variable-frequency compressor 1 corresponding to System 1 is turned on, the fluorine pump 1 is turned off, the variable-frequency compressor 2 corresponding to System 2 is turned off, and the fluorine pump 2 is turned on.

[0103] In an example, if it is detected that the outdoor ambient temperature T0 < Test1 for 1 minute and the air supply temperature requirement ≤ -25% for 30 seconds (i.e., in response to meeting the first trigger condition), based on the to-be-switched pressure pump operation mode, the cooling capacity after the fluorine pump 2 of System 2 is turned on at full load can be estimated according to the fitting formula. Furthermore, based on the new cooling capacity obtained by increasing the rotational speed of the variable-frequency compressor of System 1 to rotational speed 1 and the estimated cooling capacity after the fluorine pump 2 is turned on at full load, the first predicted cooling capacity can be obtained, and the operating power of the fluorine pump air-conditioning system in the pressure pump operation mode (i.e., the first predicted power) can be estimated.

[0104] The technical solution of this embodiment, by confirming that the to-be-switched operation mode is the pressure pump operation mode when the current operation mode is the compressor operation mode, and in response to meeting the first trigger condition, obtaining the first predicted cooling capacity and the first predicted power of the fluorine pump air-conditioning system in the pressure pump operation mode, provides data support for the prediction of the cooling efficiency judgment when switching from the compressor operation mode to the pressure pump operation mode.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the fluorine pump air-conditioning system may include at least two subsystems. In response to meeting the first trigger condition, obtaining the first predicted cooling capacity of the fluorine pump air-conditioning system in the pressure pump operation mode includes: obtaining the first predicted cooling capacity corresponding to the target subsystem among at least two subsystems; determining the cooling capacity after the compressor of the non-target subsystems among at least two subsystems is frequency-converted; and obtaining the first predicted cooling capacity according to the first predicted cooling capacity and the cooling capacity after the compressor is frequency-converted.

[0106] Taking the example of a fluorine pump air-conditioning system including at least two subsystems, in the compressor operation mode, the fluorine pump corresponding to each subsystem is in the off state. For example, the fluorine pump 1 corresponding to System 1 in the fluorine pump air-conditioning system is turned off, and the fluorine pump 2 corresponding to System 2 is turned off.

[0107] As an example, the first predicted cooling capacity can be the cooling capacity of the refrigerant pump corresponding to the target subsystem when it is converted to full-load operation. The target subsystem can be the subsystem whose refrigerant pump is converted from a closed state to a full-load operation state. At least two subsystems, excluding the target subsystem, have their refrigerant pumps in the non-target subsystems in the same subsystem in the closed state. Since a refrigerant pump air conditioning system can include two or more subsystems, after a single subsystem's mode switch is successful, the mode switch for the second subsystem can be performed after a preset time (e.g., 5 minutes). For example, in the compressor operation mode, refrigerant pump 2 corresponding to system 2 (i.e., the target subsystem) in the refrigerant pump air conditioning system can be turned on, while refrigerant pump 1 corresponding to system 1 (i.e., the non-target subsystem) remains closed. For instance, for each equal subsystem in the refrigerant pump air conditioning system, any subsystem can be selected to turn on its corresponding refrigerant pump for mode switching. After a single subsystem's mode switch is successful, the remaining subsystems can be switched one by one.

[0108] In practical applications, when the compressor operation mode is switched to pump operation mode, the cooling capacity Q of the system's refrigerant pump can be obtained. B2 (i.e., the first predicted cooling capacity), and determine the cooling capacity Q1′ that the compressor of system 1 can provide after frequency conversion (i.e., the cooling capacity after compressor frequency conversion). For example, if the speed of the frequency conversion compressor of system 1 is increased to speed 1, the new cooling capacity obtained can be obtained, and then the first predicted cooling capacity, ΔQ, can be obtained. 预 =(Q1′+Q B2 ).

[0109] The technical solution of this embodiment obtains the first predicted cooling capacity corresponding to the target subsystem in at least two subsystems and determines the cooling capacity of the compressor after frequency conversion corresponding to the non-target subsystem in at least two subsystems. Then, based on the first predicted cooling capacity and the cooling capacity of the compressor after frequency conversion, the first predicted cooling capacity is obtained, which provides data support for judging the predicted cooling efficiency when the compressor operation mode is switched to the pump operation mode.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the mode switching trigger condition may include a second trigger condition for triggering a switch to a pure pump operation mode. In response to satisfying the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operation mode, the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the operation mode to be switched to in the current operation mode are obtained, including: if the current operation mode is a compressor pump operation mode, confirming that the operation mode to be switched to is a pure pump operation mode; and in response to satisfying the second trigger condition, obtaining the second predicted cooling capacity and the second predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the pure pump operation mode.

[0111] As an example, the second trigger condition may be that the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than the outdoor set switching temperature in the pressure pump operation mode, such as T0 < Test2, or the current supply air temperature is lower than 50% of the preset supply air temperature in the compressor operation mode and lasts for 30 s. It may also be preset as other trigger conditions, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0112] Taking the example that the fluorine pump air-conditioning system includes at least two subsystems, as Figure 2c shown, in the pure pump operation mode, the variable-frequency compressor 1 corresponding to system 1 is turned off, and the fluorine pump 1 is turned on. The variable-frequency compressor 2 corresponding to system 2 is turned off, and the fluorine pump 2 is turned on.

[0113] In a specific implementation, if it is detected that the outdoor ambient temperature T0 < Test2, or the supply air temperature demand ≤ -50% and lasts for 30 s (i.e., in response to meeting the second trigger condition), based on the pure pump operation mode to be switched, the refrigerating capacity after the fluorine pump 1 of system 1 is fully loaded can be estimated according to the fitting formula. Furthermore, based on the estimated refrigerating capacity after the fluorine pump 1 is fully loaded and the refrigerating capacity after the fluorine pump 2 is fully loaded, the second predicted refrigerating capacity can be obtained, and the operating power of the fluorine pump air-conditioning system in the pure pump operation mode (i.e., the second predicted power) can be estimated.

[0114] For example, when currently in the pressure pump operation mode and to be switched to the pure pump operation mode, the current state is that the compressor of system 1 and the corresponding outdoor fan operate at low frequency. The fluorine pump of system 2 can vary its frequency according to the supply air temperature, and its corresponding outdoor fan varies its frequency according to the condensation pressure (or the fluorine pump varies its frequency according to the pressure difference, and the outdoor fan varies its frequency according to the supply air temperature). At this time, ΔQ 现 =(Q1 + Q B2 ), ΔQ 预 (i.e., the second predicted refrigerating capacity) = (Q B1 + Q B2 ); ΔW 现 =(W 压1 + W B2 + W 内1 + W 内2 + W 外1 [[ID=%33]] + W 外2 ), ΔW 预 (i.e., the second predicted power) = (W B1 + W′ B2 + W′ 内1 + W′ 内2 + W′ 外1 + W′ 外2 ), where W1′ is the power after the compressor varies its frequency.

[0115] The technical solution of this embodiment, when the current operating mode is the pump operation mode, confirms that the operating mode to be switched to is the pure pump operation mode. In response to the satisfaction of the second triggering condition, it obtains the second predicted cooling capacity and the second predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the pure pump operation mode, providing data support for the judgment of predicted cooling efficiency when switching from the pump operation mode to the pure pump operation mode.

[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, the refrigerant pump air conditioning system may include at least two subsystems. In response to satisfying a second triggering condition, the system obtains a second predicted cooling capacity in pure pump operation mode, including: obtaining the second predicted cooling capacity corresponding to a non-target subsystem in the at least two subsystems; determining the refrigerant pump full-load operation cooling capacity corresponding to the target subsystem; and obtaining the second predicted cooling capacity based on the second predicted cooling capacity and the refrigerant pump full-load operation cooling capacity.

[0117] Taking a refrigerant pump air conditioning system that includes at least two subsystems as an example, in the pressure pump operation mode, the refrigerant pump corresponding to the target subsystem is in full-load operation, while the refrigerant pump corresponding to the non-target subsystem is in a closed state. For example, in the refrigerant pump air conditioning system, refrigerant pump 1 corresponding to system 1 is closed, while refrigerant pump 2 corresponding to system 2 is in full-load operation.

[0118] In one example, for the case where the pump operation mode is switched to the pure pump operation mode, the cooling capacity Q of the system's refrigerant pump can be obtained. B1 (i.e., the second predicted cooling capacity), and determine the cooling capacity Q of the system's 2-fluorine pump. B2 (i.e., the cooling capacity of the refrigerant pump at full load), from which the second predicted cooling capacity, ΔQ, can be obtained. 预 =(Q B1 +Q B2 ).

[0119] The technical solution of this embodiment obtains the second predicted cooling capacity corresponding to the non-target subsystem in at least two subsystems, and determines the full-load cooling capacity of the refrigerant pump corresponding to the target subsystem. Then, based on the second predicted cooling capacity and the full-load cooling capacity of the refrigerant pump, the second predicted cooling capacity is obtained, which provides data support for judging the predicted cooling efficiency when switching from the pressure pump operation mode to the pure pump operation mode.

[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, before the step of controlling the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to switch to the desired operating mode, the method further includes: adjusting the preset supply air temperature of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system according to preset information; controlling the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to switch to the desired operating mode includes: controlling the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to switch to the desired operating mode based on the adjusted preset supply air temperature.

[0121] The preset information can be used to instruct the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to reduce the preset supply air temperature by a preset value, such as reducing the preset supply air temperature by -2℃.

[0122] In practical applications, if ΔQ 预 / ΔQ 现 ≥1 (configurable), meaning the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity, ΔW 预 / ΔW 现 ≤1 (can be set, e.g., set to ΔW) 预 / ΔW 现 <1), that is, if the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, a mode switch can be prompted. It can be set to automatic switch or manual confirmation switch. Before switching, the supply air temperature requirement (i.e., the preset supply air temperature) can be reduced by 2℃ (adjustable) as the new supply air temperature requirement (i.e., the adjusted preset supply air temperature). The mode switch can be performed automatically after the new supply air temperature requirement is reached.

[0123] In one example, taking the switch from compressor operation mode to pump operation mode as an example, if ΔQ 预 / ΔQ 现 ≥1, ΔW 预 / ΔW 现 ≤1, can be manually confirmed or automatically switched to pump operation mode. Its execution logic is as follows: the required air supply temperature is lowered by 2℃ (e.g., 23℃-2=21℃), system 1 frequency is increased to ≥150kW, the outdoor fan of system 2 is synchronously increased to rated speed, the compressor of system 2 slowly decreases frequency (step size is smaller than the frequency increase step size of system 1), after the required air supply temperature stabilizes, the frequency of the compressor of system 2 is reduced to shutdown, and the refrigerant pump 2 of system 2 is turned on to rated speed. System 1 and system 2 perform PID adjustment according to the original required air supply temperature (e.g., 23℃) to achieve the prediction of the relevant parameters provided by the refrigerant pump in pump operation mode.

[0124] Compared to traditional methods, which have a low success rate in model switching, resulting in frequent switching and situations where the operating power after mode switching is greater than the operating power before mode switching, the technical solution in this embodiment, by combining cooling capacity prediction, power prediction, and lowering the supply air temperature by 2°C before mode switching, can ensure that the cooling capacity does not decrease and the power does not increase after mode switching, and reduces the upper limit of temperature fluctuation during mode switching, thus avoiding exceeding the temperature requirements.

[0125] The technical solution of this embodiment adjusts the preset air supply temperature of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system according to preset information, and controls the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to switch to the operating mode to be switched based on the adjusted preset air supply temperature. This reduces the upper limit of temperature fluctuation during the mode switching process and ensures the temperature stability of the data center computer room.

[0126] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the above steps, the following is combined with... Figure 3The embodiments of the present disclosure are exemplarily illustrated by an example, but it should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0127] Take the example that the fluorine pump air-conditioning system includes two subsystems:

[0128] 1. When currently in the compressor operation mode, the variable-frequency compressor 1 corresponding to system 1 in the fluorine pump air-conditioning system is turned on, the fluorine pump 1 is turned off, and the variable-frequency compressor 2 corresponding to system 2 is turned on, and the fluorine pump 2 is turned off; the internal fan can adjust the speed by PID (Proportional Integral Derivative control) according to the control mode requirements (any two of the temperature difference / pressure difference, supply air temperature, and return air temperature); the external fan can adjust the speed by PID according to the condensing pressure requirements; the variable-frequency compressor can adjust the speed according to the supply air temperature requirements;

[0129] 2. Judge whether it satisfies that the outdoor ambient temperature T0 < Test1 and lasts for 1 minute, and the supply air temperature requirement ≤ -25% and lasts for 30 seconds;

[0130] 3. Cooling capacity prediction: According to the fitting formula, the cooling capacity after the fluorine pump 2 of system 2 is fully loaded can be estimated, and it is judged that (the new cooling capacity obtained by increasing the speed of the variable-frequency compressor 1 of system 1 to speed 1 + the estimated cooling capacity after the fluorine pump 2 is fully loaded) / the cooling capacity in the original compressor operation mode ≥ 1, that is, to judge whether the cooling capacity after the mode switch is greater than or equal to the cooling capacity before the switch; Power prediction: Judge that the power after the mode switch / the power in the original compressor operation mode ≤ 1, that is, to judge whether the power after the mode switch is less than or equal to the power before the switch;

[0131] 4. If it does not satisfy that the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity and the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, no mode switch is performed, and the original mode is maintained;

[0132] 5. If it satisfies that the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity and the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, execute: System 2 switches to the fluorine pump mode, system 1 maintains the compressor mode, and through forced refrigeration, the supply air temperature is adjusted to the original set value - 2°C; The compressor of system 1 reduces the evaporation temperature by increasing the speed to ensure that the supply air temperature is the original set value - 2°C, and the outdoor fan of system 2 is increased to the rated speed synchronously, and the compressor of system 2 is slowly reduced in frequency (the frequency reduction step of the compressor of system 2 is less than the frequency increase step of the compressor of system 1). After the supply air demand temperature is stable, the frequency of the compressor of system 2 is reduced again until it is turned off, and then the fluorine pump of system 2 is turned on to the rated speed; Systems 1 and 2 perform PID regulation according to the original supply air temperature requirements (not -2°C);

Indoor fan: Adjust the speed by PID according to the requirements of the control mode (such as temperature difference / pressure difference); Outdoor fan: Adjust the speed by PID according to the condensing pressure requirement; System 1: Operate in the compressor mode; System 2: Operate in the fluorine pump mode and maintain full load (the speed of the variable frequency compressor in System 1 is adjusted first);

[0134] 7. If the actual indoor supply air temperature T within 10 minutes does not meet 测 ≤ the set indoor supply air temperature T 内 , the mode switching fails and returns to the compressor operation mode;

[0135] 8. If the actual indoor supply air temperature T within 10 minutes meets 测 ≤ the set indoor supply air temperature T 内 , the mode switching is successful, and the pressure pump operation mode is run. At the same time, the system can output and display whether the cooling capacity after switching is greater than or equal to the cooling capacity before switching, and whether the power after switching is less than or equal to the power before switching;

[0136] 9. Indoor fan: Adjust the speed by PID according to the requirements of the control mode (such as temperature difference / pressure difference); Outdoor fan: Adjust the speed by PID according to the condensing pressure requirement; System 1: Operate in the compressor mode; System 2: Operate in the fluorine pump mode and maintain full load (the speed of the variable frequency compressor in System 1 is adjusted first);

[0137] 10. Judge whether it meets the outdoor ambient temperature T0 < Test2, or the supply air temperature requirement ≤ -50% for 30 s;

[0138] 11. Cooling capacity prediction: According to the fitting formula, the cooling capacity after the fluorine pump 1 in System 1 is fully loaded can be estimated, and it is judged that (the cooling capacity of the fluorine pump in System 2 when fully loaded + the estimated cooling capacity after the fluorine pump 1 is fully loaded) / the cooling capacity in the original pressure pump operation mode ≥ 1, that is, to judge whether the cooling capacity after mode switching is greater than or equal to the cooling capacity before switching; Power prediction: Judge that the power after mode switching / the power in the original pressure pump operation mode ≤ 1, that is, to judge whether the power after mode switching is less than or equal to the power before switching;

[0139] 12. If it does not meet the prediction that the cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity and the prediction that the power is less than or equal to the current power, the mode is not switched and the original mode is maintained;

[0140] 13. If the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity, and the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, execute the following: System 1 switches to refrigerant pump mode, System 2 maintains refrigerant pump mode, and through forced cooling, adjusts the supply air temperature to the original set value -2℃; Refrigerant pump 2 of System 2 runs at full load, and at the same time, the outdoor fan of System 2 is overclocked to 10%~20% of the rated speed, and the compressor and outdoor fan of System 1 gradually load, reaching the temperature set value -2℃ and maintaining it for 5 minutes; Mode switching: Refrigerant pump 2 of System 2 continues to run at full load, the outdoor fan of System 2 continues to be overclocked, the compressor of System 1 reduces the frequency to shutdown, and refrigerant pump 1 of System 1 starts and gradually runs at full load; Normal control is restored.

[0141] 14. Indoor fan: PID speed adjustment based on branch control mode (e.g., temperature difference / pressure difference); Outdoor fan: PID speed adjustment based on condensing pressure requirements; Refrigerant pump: System 1 and System 2 start simultaneously for PID speed adjustment based on supply air temperature requirements; Compressor: Off.

[0142] 15. If the actual indoor supply air temperature T is not met within 10 minutes 测 ≤Set indoor supply air temperature T′ 内 Mode switching failed, reverting to pump operation mode;

[0143] 16. If the actual indoor supply air temperature T within 10 minutes is met... 测 ≤Set indoor supply air temperature T′ 内 The mode switch was successful, and the system is now running in pure pump mode. The system can also output and display whether the cooling capacity after the switch is greater than or equal to the cooling capacity before the switch, and whether the power after the switch is less than or equal to the power before the switch.

[0144] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another air conditioning system control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this method is used in computer devices such as terminals and includes the following steps.

[0145] In step S410, the current operating mode of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is obtained. In step S420, in response to meeting the mode switching trigger condition corresponding to the current operating mode, the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the operating mode to be switched to in the current operating mode are obtained. In step S430, the predicted cooling efficiency is obtained based on the predicted cooling capacity and predicted power. In step S440, the current cooling capacity and current power of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system in the current operating mode are obtained, and the current cooling efficiency is obtained based on the current cooling capacity and current power. In step S450, when the predicted cooling capacity is greater than or equal to the current cooling capacity and the predicted power is less than or equal to the current power, the preset supply air temperature of the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is adjusted according to preset information, which is used to instruct the refrigerant pump air conditioning system to reduce the preset supply air temperature by a preset value. In step S460, based on the adjusted preset supply air temperature, the refrigerant pump air conditioning system is controlled to switch to the operating mode to be switched to. It should be noted that the specific limitations of the above steps can be found in the specific limitations of an air conditioning system control method described above, and will not be repeated here.
