[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Currently, centrifugal compressors are subject to surge. During surge, the compressor deviates from the design operating boundary, resulting in violent vibration and increased noise. This not only affects the stable operation of the unit but can also damage the compressor in severe cases. To prevent surge, the compressor must operate outside the surge curve boundary. However, during surge boundary curve testing, the surge point is often selected based on experience, such as surge sound or fluctuations in ammeter data.

[0033] Generally speaking, existing technical solutions often use surge sound and current fluctuation amplitude to determine compressor surge. However, judging surge by surge sound has the following disadvantages: the unit's operating environment is noisy, making it difficult to detect surge sound; and when the unit is operating at low load, the surge sound is relatively small and easily masked by the ambient sound, making it difficult to hear. Judging surge by current fluctuation amplitude has the following disadvantages: the unit's current fluctuation and unit surge are not absolutely correlated. When the unit's water system temperature fluctuates rapidly or when it is heavily loaded or unloaded, the current will also fluctuate significantly, making it easy to misjudge.

[0034] Therefore, different experimenters and deviations in working conditions will lead to different test results of the surge boundary curve. The accuracy and consistency of the fitted compressor surge boundary curve itself under the same working conditions are poor. It is necessary to provide a more scientific automatic compressor surge detection method.

[0035] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a compressor surge detection method, device, and electronic device, specifically relating to a centrifugal chiller surge detection method. This method uses a method for extracting the comprehensive data features of the centrifugal compressor's exhaust pressure, current, and power during unit surge, calculates a fluctuation index using a dynamic sliding window, and comprehensively determines surge detection based on weight factors. Specifically, this method uses a method for extracting the comprehensive data features of the centrifugal compressor's exhaust pressure, current, and power during unit surge, comprehensively determines surge detection based on weight factors, and actual measurements show a high degree of accuracy. The dynamic sliding window calculation of the fluctuation index can cover all operating conditions, broadening the response range while maintaining consistent surge judgment accuracy.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a compressor surge detection method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for detecting surge of a compressor. Figure 1 The flowchart of a compressor surge detection method is shown, and the compressor surge detection method includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S102 , collecting the operating data of the compressor; wherein the operating data includes: exhaust pressure data, current data and power data.

[0040] The compressor in the embodiment of the present invention can be a compressor of a chiller, and the chiller can be a centrifugal chiller. The centrifugal chiller includes a connected centrifugal compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a throttling device to form a first refrigerant circulation system, and the evaporator is suitable for being connected to an indoor heat exchanger to form a second refrigerant circulation system. Wherein, if the second refrigerant is water, the second refrigerant circulation system is also called a water system. Through the heat exchange between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant in the evaporator, the cooling or heat generated by the first refrigerant circulation system can be transferred to the indoor heat exchanger in the unit, realizing heat exchange and energy supply between the second refrigerant and the room heat load.

[0041] In embodiments of the present invention, compressor operating data may include exhaust pressure, current, and power data. To unify dimensions, the operating data can be converted into percentage data. Specifically, the fluctuation index of the component during surge (percentage data) is used, rather than the absolute value of the component fluctuation. This facilitates capturing universal characteristics that are independent of experimental conditions. Specifically, the pressure range, full-load current, and full-load power can be used as the denominator when calculating the percentage data.

[0042] Step S104 , calculating the operation fluctuation index of the compressor based on the operation data; wherein the operation fluctuation index includes: an exhaust pressure fluctuation index, a current fluctuation index, and a power fluctuation index.

[0043] The compressor's operational fluctuation index characterizes the fluctuation of a particular component within a given timeframe. Specifically, a dynamic sliding window can be used to collect compressor operational data. The operational fluctuation index for each component within each dynamic sliding window can then be calculated, namely, the exhaust pressure fluctuation index, current fluctuation index, and power fluctuation index. The significance of the dynamic sliding window sampling data lies in maintaining the continuous fluctuation characteristics of all collected data points within the time domain, preventing data fluctuations between sampling segments from being filtered out through coupling.

[0044] Step S106 : determining a surge factor of the compressor based on the operation fluctuation index; wherein the surge factor includes: an exhaust pressure surge factor, a current surge factor, and a power surge factor.

[0045] The compressor surge factor can represent the surge condition of a component. Generally, the compressor surge factor can be determined by a threshold. If the operating fluctuation index is greater than a certain threshold, the surge factor is a certain value; if the operating fluctuation index is less than the threshold, the surge factor is a different value.

[0046] Step S108: determining whether the compressor surges based on the surge factor.

[0047] Different weighting factors can be set for different categories. A weighted calculation is performed based on the surge factor and weighting factor of each component to obtain the compressor surge index. If the surge index is large, it can be considered that the compressor is surging; if the surge index is small, it can be considered that the compressor is not surging.

[0048] A compressor surge detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention can quickly and accurately determine whether the compressor is surged based on the compressor's exhaust pressure data, current data and power data. It has high detection accuracy and can realize real-time monitoring of compressor surge.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] The embodiment of the present invention provides another method for detecting surge of a compressor. The method is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another compressor surge detection method shown in FIG. 1 . The compressor surge detection method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0051] Step S202 , collecting the operating data of the compressor; wherein the operating data includes: exhaust pressure data, current data and power data.

[0052] When collecting operating data, ordinary continuous segmented sampling carries the risk of data fluctuation coupling, i.e., data fluctuations between unit sampling segments are easily coupled and filtered out. Dynamic sliding window sampling, on the other hand, can maintain the continuous fluctuation characteristics of all collected data points in the time domain, without the risk of data fluctuation coupling. Therefore, this embodiment can use dynamic sliding windows to sample the operating data of the compressor, for example, using dynamic sliding windows to collect the operating data of the compressor. The period of the dynamic sliding window is the product of a pre-set number of sampling points and a single-point sampling period, and the number of sampling points is greater than or equal to 2.

[0053] The dynamic sliding window period = the number of sampling points × the single-point sampling period. The number of sampling points is at least 2 and is not limited to 3. The single-point sampling period can be determined based on the compressor pressure ratio. For example, the compressor pressure ratio can be obtained and the single-point sampling period can be determined based on the compressor pressure ratio.

[0054] The compression ratio is also called the compression ratio. The compression ratio indicates the degree to which the cylinder gas is compressed when the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center. It can be calculated by the following formula: compressor compression ratio = compressor exhaust absolute pressure / compressor suction absolute pressure.

[0055] Specifically, if the compressor pressure ratio > sampling period switching pressure ratio threshold PRS1, then the single point sampling period = T1; if the sampling period switching pressure ratio threshold PRS1 > compressor pressure ratio > sampling period switching pressure ratio threshold PRS2, then the single point sampling period = T2; if the sampling period switching pressure ratio threshold PRS2 > compressor pressure ratio > sampling period switching pressure ratio threshold PRS3, then the single point sampling period = T3, wherein the sampling period switching threshold PRS1 > sampling period switching threshold PRS2 > sampling period switching threshold PRS3; correspondingly, the single point sampling period T1 > single point sampling period T2 > single point sampling period T3.

[0056] For example, the three-point dynamic sliding window sampling data can be {a1, a2, a3}, {a2, a3, a4}, {a3, a4, a5}. If the compressor pressure ratio = X>PRS1, then the time difference between a2 and a1, the time difference between a3 and a2, and the time difference between a4 and a3 are all T1.

[0057] The dynamic sliding window data sampling method used in this embodiment ensures the effectiveness of fluctuation detection and also has relatively appropriate detection sensitivity. Specifically, the sliding sampling period, or window time, must be appropriately selected based on the specific compressor type. A longer window time will reduce the data fluctuation index, while a shorter window time will increase the data misjudgment rate.

[0058] Step S204 , calculating the operation fluctuation index of the compressor based on the operation data; wherein the operation fluctuation index includes: an exhaust pressure fluctuation index, a current fluctuation index, and a power fluctuation index.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, the operating data can be first converted into percentage data, and the operating fluctuation index of the compressor can be calculated based on the converted percentage data. For example, the operating percentage data of the compressor is calculated based on the operating data; wherein the operating percentage data includes exhaust pressure percentage data, current percentage data and power percentage data; and the operating fluctuation index of the compressor is calculated based on the operating percentage data.

[0060] Specifically, the operating percentage data of the compressor can be calculated based on the operating data by the following formula: x_p=s_p / Rag; x_c=s_c / FLA; x_w=s_w / PLA; wherein, x_p is the exhaust pressure percentage data, s_p is the exhaust pressure data, RAG is the pressure range of the compressor; x_c is the current percentage data, s_c is the current data, FLA is the full load current of the compressor; x_w is the power percentage data, s_w is the power data, and PLA is the full load power of the compressor.

[0061] The purpose of using percentage data for calculation is to maintain a consistent dimension. That is, the fluctuation index of the component during surge is used, rather than the absolute value of the component fluctuation. This helps capture the universality of the characteristics without changing with the experimental object. Percentage conversion is performed on each point based on the sampled data. The percentage denominators for exhaust pressure, current, and power calculations are set according to the design pressure range, full-load current, and full-load power of the unit model, respectively.

[0062] Specifically, the operation fluctuation index of the compressor can be calculated based on the operation percentage data using the following formula:

[0063] Nb_p=Sum[(Xi_p-Ai_p) 2 ] / 3σ_p;

[0064] Nb_c=Sum[(Xi_c-Ai_c) 2 ] / 3σ_c;

[0065] Nb_w=Sum[(Xi_w-Ai_w) 2 ] / 3σ_w;

[0066] Wherein, Nb_p is the exhaust pressure fluctuation index, Xi_p is the exhaust pressure percentage data within the i-th dynamic sliding window, Ai_p is the average value of the exhaust pressure percentage data within the i-th dynamic sliding window, and σ_p is the preset exhaust pressure fluctuation index judgment threshold;

[0067] Nb_c is the current fluctuation index, Xi_c is the current percentage data in the i-th dynamic sliding window, Ai_c is the average value of the current percentage data in the i-th dynamic sliding window, and σ_c is the preset current fluctuation index judgment threshold;

[0068] Nb_w is the power fluctuation index, Xi_w is the power percentage data in the i-th dynamic sliding window, Ai_w is the average value of the power percentage data in the i-th dynamic sliding window, and σ_w is the pre-set power fluctuation index judgment threshold.

[0069] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention can calculate the fluctuation index of each component in each dynamic sliding window by the above formula. For example, the exhaust pressure percentage data in the third dynamic sliding window are 0.5, 1, and 1.5, and the average value is 1. Assuming that the exhaust pressure fluctuation index judgment threshold is 0.9, the exhaust pressure fluctuation index can be: Nb_p=Sum[(Xi_p-Ai_p)] 2 ] / 3σ_p=[(0.5-1) 2 +(1-1) 2

[0070] +(1.5-1) 2 ] / (3×0.9)=0.185.

[0071] In addition, the fluctuation index judgment threshold of each component can be obtained by reverse fitting the pressure ratio, for example: obtaining the pressure ratio of the surge point of multiple compressors; reverse fitting the pressure ratio of the surge point of multiple compressors to obtain the exhaust pressure fluctuation index judgment threshold, current fluctuation index judgment threshold and power fluctuation index judgment threshold.

[0072] The fitting formula may be y=f(x), where x is the surge pressure ratio point, y is the surge fluctuation index threshold point, and the f(x) fitting function includes but is not limited to a linear function, a power function, an exponential function, etc., and the principle of the highest data regression is adopted.

[0073] Step S206 : determining a surge factor of the compressor based on the operation fluctuation index; wherein the surge factor includes: an exhaust pressure surge factor, a current surge factor, and a power surge factor.

[0074] Step S208: determining whether the compressor surges based on the surge factor.

[0075] Specifically, the surge factor of the compressor can be determined based on the operation fluctuation index in the following manner: if the operation fluctuation index is greater than or equal to a preset surge factor threshold, the surge factor of the compressor is a first value; if the operation fluctuation index is less than the surge factor threshold, the surge factor of the compressor is a second value.

[0076] For example, if Nb_p < 1, then s1 = 0; if Nb_p >= 1, then s1 = 1; if Nb_c < 1, then s2 = 0; if Nb_c >= 1, then s2 = 1; if Nb_w < 1, then s3 = 0; if Nb_s >= 1, then s3 = 1. Here, s1, s2, and s3 are the surge factors for exhaust pressure, current, and power, respectively. Nb_p is the exhaust pressure fluctuation index, Nb_c is the current fluctuation index, and Nb_w is the power fluctuation index. The surge factor threshold for each component is 1, the first value of each component is 1, and the second value of each component is 0.

[0077] After obtaining the surge factors of each component, whether the compressor surges can be determined based on the surge factors through the following steps: calculating the surge index of the compressor based on the surge factors; if the surge index is greater than or equal to the preset surge threshold, the compressor surges; if the surge index is less than the surge threshold, the compressor does not surge.

[0078] Specifically, the surge index of the compressor can be calculated based on the surge factor using the following formula: F=s1×r1+s2×r2+s3×r3; where F is the surge index of the compressor, s1 is the exhaust pressure surge factor, s2 is the current surge factor, s3 is the power surge factor, and r1, r2, and r3 are pre-set weighting factors, respectively.

[0079] Among them, r1, r2, and r3 are the weighted factors of the influence of exhaust pressure, current, and power on surge judgment, respectively, and r1 + r2 + r3 = 1. At the same time, based on the surge principle and measured surge characteristics, the exhaust pressure fluctuation index and misjudgment rate comprehensive characteristics during surge are better than current and power, so r1>r2 and r1>r3 are required.

[0080] If F>= Sg, the current point is considered surge, otherwise the unit is not experiencing surge. Sg is the surge threshold. In particular, Sg can be set according to different compressor models. Similarly, for the same centrifugal compressor, adjusting this parameter is equivalent to adjusting the surge detection sensitivity.

[0081] Step S210 : drawing a surge boundary curve of the compressor based on the operating data of the compressor that has experienced surge; and controlling the operation of the compressor based on the surge boundary curve.

[0082] After obtaining the surge point of the compressor, the surge boundary curve of the compressor can be drawn according to the surge point. The surge boundary curve drawn by the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention has higher accuracy, can ensure more stable operation of the unit, and widen the operating range of the unit.

[0083] Specifically, see Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a compressor surge detection method is shown. After the compressor unit is running, the operating data of the compressor can be collected through a dynamic sliding window, the operating percentage data of the compressor is calculated based on the operating data, the operating fluctuation index of the compressor is calculated based on the operating percentage data, and the surge factor of each component of the compressor is determined to be a first value or a second value based on the operating fluctuation index of each component. The surge factor is weighted and calculated to obtain the surge index of the compressor. Whether the compressor surges is determined based on the surge index of the compressor.

[0084] The above method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can use dynamic sliding window to process data to ensure detection accuracy and detection response range; can use the corresponding percentage calculation of compressor exhaust pressure, current, and power to unify the dimensions; can use the fluctuation index to calculate and effectively extract surge characteristics; can use the fluctuation index of exhaust pressure, current, and power to weightedly judge the surge result.

[0085] In this method, data collection is simple, the dimensions are unified, and the dynamic sliding window processing surge detection range is wide; the unit surge characteristics can be detected in real time with high detection accuracy; it can ensure more stable unit operation, improve the accuracy of the compressor boundary curve, and broaden the unit operation range.

[0086] Example 3:

[0087] Corresponding to the above method embodiment, the present invention provides a compressor surge detection device, see Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of a surge detection device for a compressor is shown, and the surge detection device for the compressor includes:

It has high detection accuracy and can realize real-time monitoring of compressor surge.

[0093] The above-mentioned operation data collection module is used to collect the operation data of the compressor through a dynamic sliding window; wherein, the period of the dynamic sliding window is the product of a preset number of sampling points and a single-point sampling period, and the number of sampling points is greater than or equal to 2.
