Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a jet enthalpy control method and apparatus, an air conditioner, and a storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the application of low-temperature air source heat pump chillers (hereinafter referred to as low-temperature heat pumps) in extremely cold regions has increased. Low-temperature heat pumps typically employ single-stage or two-stage compression systems. For single-stage compression systems, when heating in ultra-low temperature environments (e.g., -35℃ to -20℃), excessively high exhaust temperatures are prone to occur, especially for single-stage compression systems using R32 refrigerant, where this problem is particularly severe. Furthermore, significant reduction in heating capacity is also an unavoidable issue for single-stage compressor systems. Therefore, low-temperature heat pumps used in extremely cold regions often employ two-stage compression systems. However, for two-stage compression systems, existing jet enthalpy control strategies can easily lead to problems such as liquid carryover on the compressor suction side affecting compressor reliability, inability to collect liquid in the enthalpy-increasing path leading to enthalpy-increasing failure, insufficient mass flow rate in the enthalpy-increasing path resulting in poor heating capacity, or excessive mass flow rate in the enthalpy-increasing path leading to poor compressor efficiency or even liquid slugging damage to the compressor.

[0047] It is understood that the jet enthalpy enhancement system described here is merely an example, and this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the jet enthalpy enhancement system may have other structures.
[0048] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the jet enthalpy control method includes the following steps.
[0049] Step S11: When the jet enthalpy enhancement system is in jet enthalpy enhancement heating mode, acquire the enthalpy enhancement superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and intake superheat of the jet enthalpy enhancement system. The enthalpy enhancement superheat is the difference between the economizer auxiliary outlet temperature and the economizer auxiliary inlet temperature. The total subcooling is the difference between the condensing pressure saturation temperature and the economizer main outlet temperature. The exhaust superheat is the difference between the exhaust temperature and the condensing pressure saturation temperature of the jet enthalpy enhancement system. The intake superheat is the difference between the intake temperature and the evaporating pressure saturation temperature of the jet enthalpy enhancement system.
[0050] In some embodiments, when the jet enthalpy enhancement system is in jet enthalpy enhancement heating mode, the evaporation pressure saturation temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system can be detected first by the low-pressure pressure sensor 101. ps The intake temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system is detected by the intake temperature sensor 102. s The exhaust temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system is detected by exhaust temperature sensor 103.c The condensation pressure saturation temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system is detected by high-pressure pressure sensor 104. pc The auxiliary road inlet temperature T is detected by the auxiliary road inlet temperature sensor 105. fi The auxiliary road outlet temperature T is detected by the auxiliary road outlet temperature sensor 106. fo The total subcooling temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system is detected by the subcooling temperature sensor 107. sc Then, based on the detected parameter values and the calculation formulas for enthalpy-increasing superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and intake superheat of the jet enthalpy-increasing system, respectively, the enthalpy-increasing superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and intake superheat are calculated.
[0051] Step S12: Adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy enhancement system according to the relationship between the enthalpy superheat and the first preset range.
[0052] In some embodiments, step S12 may include: if the enthalpy superheat is within a first preset range, then maintaining the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve unchanged; if the enthalpy superheat is less than the lower limit of the first preset range, then determining a first adjustment range based on the enthalpy superheat, the lower limit of the first preset range, and a first preset formula, and reducing the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve by the first adjustment range; if the enthalpy superheat is greater than the upper limit of the first preset range, then determining a second adjustment range based on the enthalpy superheat, the upper limit of the first preset range, and a second preset formula, and increasing the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve by the second adjustment range.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first preset formula can be: (Tf2-ΔT1) / 2, and the second preset formula can be: (ΔT1-Tf1) / 2, where ΔT1 is the enthalpy superheat, Tf1 is the upper limit of the first preset range, and Tf2 is the lower limit of the first preset range.
[0054] Step S13: Adjust the opening of the main electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy enhancement system according to at least one of the following: the relationship between total subcooling and the second preset range, the relationship between exhaust superheat and the third preset range, and the relationship between intake superheat and the fourth preset range.
[0055] In some embodiments, step S13 may include: if the total subcooling is less than the lower limit of the second preset range, then a third adjustment range is determined based on the total subcooling, the lower limit of the second preset range, and a third preset formula, and the opening of the main electronic expansion valve is reduced by the third adjustment range; if the total subcooling is greater than the upper limit of the second preset range, then a fourth adjustment range is determined based on the total subcooling, the upper limit of the second preset range, and a fourth preset formula, and the opening of the main electronic expansion valve is increased by the fourth adjustment range; if the total subcooling is within the second preset range, then the opening of the main electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy enhancement system is adjusted according to at least one of the relationship between exhaust superheat and the third preset range and the relationship between intake superheat and the fourth preset range.
[0056] In one embodiment, the third preset formula can be: (Tsc2-ΔT2) / 2, and the fourth preset formula can be: (ΔT2-Tsc1) / 2, where ΔT2 is the total subcooling, Tsc1 is the upper limit of the second preset range, and Tsc2 is the lower limit of the second preset range.
[0057] In some embodiments, adjusting the opening of the main electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy enhancement system based on at least one of the relationship between exhaust superheat and a third preset range and the relationship between intake superheat and a fourth preset range includes: if the exhaust superheat is less than the lower limit of the third preset range, determining a fifth adjustment range based on the exhaust superheat, the lower limit of the third preset range, and a fifth preset formula, and decreasing the opening of the main electronic expansion valve by the fifth adjustment range; if the exhaust superheat is greater than the upper limit of the third preset range, determining a sixth adjustment range based on the exhaust superheat, the upper limit of the third preset range, and a sixth preset formula, and increasing the opening of the main electronic expansion valve by the sixth adjustment range; if the exhaust superheat is within the third preset range, adjusting the opening of the main electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy enhancement system based on the relationship between intake superheat and the fourth preset range.
[0058] In one embodiment, the fifth preset formula can be: (Tc2-ΔT3) / 2, and the sixth preset formula can be: (ΔT3-Tc1) / 2, where ΔT3 is the exhaust superheat, Tc1 is the upper limit of the third preset range, and Tc2 is the lower limit of the third preset range.
[0059] In one embodiment, reducing the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve by a fifth adjustment range includes: if the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve reaches its minimum opening, then increasing the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve by a preset amount.
[0060] In some embodiments, adjusting the opening of the main electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy enhancement system according to the relationship between the intake superheat and a fourth preset range includes: if the intake superheat is less than the lower limit of the fourth preset range, then determining a seventh adjustment range based on the intake superheat, the lower limit of the fourth preset range, and a seventh preset formula, and decreasing the opening of the main electronic expansion valve by the seventh adjustment range; if the intake superheat is greater than the upper limit of the fourth preset range, then determining an eighth adjustment range based on the intake superheat, the upper limit of the fourth preset range, and an eighth preset formula, and increasing the opening of the main electronic expansion valve by the eighth adjustment range; if the intake superheat is within the fourth preset range, then maintaining the opening of the main electronic expansion valve unchanged.
[0061] In one embodiment, the seventh preset formula can be: (Ts2-ΔT4) / 2, and the eighth preset formula can be: (ΔT4-Ts1) / 2, where ΔT4 is the intake superheat, Ts1 is the upper limit of the fourth preset range, and Ts2 is the lower limit of the fourth preset range.
[0062] It should be noted that steps S12 and S13 are not in any particular order. That is, step S12 can be executed before step S13, or step S12 can be executed after step S13, or step S12 can be executed simultaneously with step S13.
[0063] The vapor injection enthalpy enhancement control method provided in this application controls the opening of the dual valves of the vapor injection enthalpy enhancement system based on the enthalpy enhancement superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and suction superheat. This helps to improve the problems caused by improper vapor injection enthalpy enhancement strategies in the prior art, ensuring the compressor remains reliable during free operation of the vapor injection enthalpy enhancement system and reducing the risk of liquid slugging on both the suction and enthalpy enhancement sides. During free operation, the exhaust temperature is kept stable, preventing excessively high exhaust temperatures from causing compressor frequency reduction or damage. Under ultra-low ambient temperatures, it ensures successful liquid extraction from the enthalpy enhancement auxiliary circuit, improving the enthalpy enhancement effect. Furthermore, it makes the mass flow rate of the enthalpy enhancement auxiliary circuit controllable, adapting to different operating conditions and controlling the refrigerant state (two-phase, saturated, superheated) at the compressor's enthalpy enhancement port, thereby achieving a better energy-efficient enthalpy enhancement effect. This ensures the long-term stable, reliable, and highly energy-efficient operation of the vapor injection enthalpy enhancement system under all operating conditions.
[0064] It is understandable that after adjusting the opening of the main electronic expansion valve and / or the opening of the enthalpy-enhancing electronic expansion valve, the jet enthalpy enhancement system needs to operate for a period of time to reach a steady state after the adjustment. Therefore, steps S11, S12 and S13 can be performed periodically to continuously detect whether the jet enthalpy enhancement system is operating in an optimal operating mode that is close to the current operating conditions. When the jet enthalpy enhancement system is not operating in the optimal operating mode, it is gradually adjusted to make the jet enthalpy enhancement system approach the optimal operating mode. This further improves the problems caused by improper jet enthalpy enhancement strategies in the prior art, thereby further ensuring that the jet enthalpy enhancement system operates stably, reliably and with high energy efficiency under all operating conditions for a long time.
[0065] Specifically, in step S11, the evaporation pressure saturation temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system is... ps Intake temperature T s Exhaust temperature T c Condensation pressure saturation temperature T pc Auxiliary road inlet temperature T fi Auxiliary road outlet temperature T fo Total subcooling temperature T sc Any parameter value in the system can be periodically tested.
[0066] For example, the evaporation pressure saturation temperature T of the jet enthalpy enhancement system after each entry into the jet enthalpy enhancement heating mode is... ps Intake temperature T s Exhaust temperature T c Condensation pressure saturation temperature T pc Auxiliary road inlet temperature T fi Auxiliary road outlet temperature T fo Total subcooling temperature T sc The initial test can begin after a first preset time period following the entry of the jet enthalpy-enhanced heating mode. For the auxiliary inlet temperature T of the jet enthalpy-enhanced system under jet enthalpy-enhanced heating mode... fi and auxiliary road outlet temperature T fo The non-initial test can begin after a second preset time period following each adjustment of the opening of the enthalpy-enhancing electronic expansion valve. For the jet enthalpy-enhancing heating mode, the evaporation pressure saturation temperature T of the jet enthalpy-enhancing system... ps and intake temperature T s For non-first-time testing, or for exhaust temperature T under jet enthalpy boosting heating mode c and condensation pressure saturation temperature T pc For non-first-time testing, or for the total subcooling temperature T under jet enthalpy-enhanced heating mode sc The non-first detection can begin after a third preset time period, starting from the moment the opening of the main electronic expansion valve is adjusted each time.
[0067] It is understandable that the first, second, and third preset durations can be the same, so as to simultaneously control the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve and the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve based on the enthalpy superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and intake superheat. Of course, the first, second, and third preset durations can also be set to different durations as needed.
[0068] Correspondingly, the calculations of the enthalpy-enhancing superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and intake superheat of the jet enthalpy-enhancing system can also be performed periodically. For example, each time the evaporation pressure saturation temperature T of the jet enthalpy-enhancing system is obtained... ps Intake temperature T s Exhaust temperature T c Condensation pressure saturation temperature T pc Auxiliary road inlet temperature T fi Auxiliary road outlet temperature T fo Total subcooling temperature T sc Once the parameter values are obtained, the enthalpy superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat, and intake superheat of the jet enthalpy enhancement system can be calculated based on these parameter values.
[0069] Accordingly, after calculating the enthalpy superheat, total subcooling, exhaust superheat and intake superheat of the jet enthalpy enhancement system each time, steps S12 and / or S13 can be executed.
[0070] It should be noted that the following four adjustments—adjusting the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy-increasing system based on the relationship between the enthalpy-increasing superheat and the first preset range, adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve based on the relationship between the total subcooling and the second preset range, adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve based on the relationship between the exhaust superheat and the third preset range, and adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve based on the relationship between the intake superheat and the fourth preset range—can have different priorities. Specifically, the priorities, from highest to lowest, are as follows: adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve based on the relationship between the total subcooling and the second preset range; adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve based on the relationship between the exhaust superheat and the third preset range; adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve based on the relationship between the intake superheat and the fourth preset range; and adjusting the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve of the jet enthalpy-increasing system based on the relationship between the enthalpy-increasing superheat and the first preset range.
[0071] In some embodiments, the jet enthalpy enhancement control method may further include: acquiring the parameter value of the enthalpy enhancement on / off determination parameter; if the parameter value of the enthalpy enhancement on / off determination parameter meets a first preset condition, then enthalpy enhancement is turned on to enter the jet enthalpy enhancement heating mode; if the parameter value of the enthalpy enhancement on / off determination parameter meets a second preset condition, then enthalpy enhancement is turned off to exit the jet enthalpy enhancement heating mode.
[0072] In one embodiment, the parameters determining the enthalpy increase on / off state include the outdoor ambient temperature, compressor frequency, and compressor cumulative runtime per cycle. It should be noted that the compressor cumulative runtime per cycle refers to the cumulative runtime of the compressor after each start-up of the air conditioner. It is understood that the specific methods for obtaining the outdoor ambient temperature, compressor frequency, and compressor cumulative runtime per cycle can be found in existing technologies, and this application will not elaborate on these aspects.
[0073] In one embodiment, the first preset condition includes: T 环 ≤T 开启增焓 , f > f 开启增焓 , and t comp >t 开启增焓 The second preset condition is: T 环 ≤T 开启增焓 -T 缓冲 , or f > f 开启增焓 -f 缓冲 , among which, T 环 The outdoor ambient temperature, T 开启增焓 The temperature at which enthalpy enhancement is triggered; f is the compressor frequency of the jet enthalpy enhancement system; f 开启增焓 The compressor frequency that triggers enthalpy increase is t comp The cumulative runtime of the compressor in a single operation of the jet enthalpy enhancement system, t 开启增焓 The cumulative duration of a single compressor cycle that triggers enthalpy increase is T. 缓冲 and f 缓冲 It is a constant. For example, T 开启增焓 The value of f can be between -5℃ and 10℃; 开启增焓 The value of t can be between 30Hz and 60Hz; 开启增焓 The value of T can be between 3 min and 10 min; 缓冲 The value of f is between 5℃ and 15℃; 缓冲 The value ranges from 5Hz to 20Hz.
[0074] In some embodiments, if the parameter value of the enthalpy increase opening / closing determination parameter meets a first preset condition, enthalpy increase is activated to enter the jet enthalpy increase heating mode. This may include: acquiring the outlet water temperature; determining a first target opening degree of the main circuit electronic expansion valve and a second target opening degree of the enthalpy increase electronic expansion valve based on the outdoor ambient temperature, the outlet water temperature, and a preset table; adjusting the opening degree of the main circuit electronic expansion valve to the first target opening degree; and adjusting the opening degree of the enthalpy increase electronic expansion valve to the second target opening degree. The preset table records the optimal opening degree of the main circuit electronic expansion valve and the optimal opening degree of the enthalpy increase electronic expansion valve under different outdoor ambient temperatures and different outlet water temperatures. In other words, the preset table records the correspondence between the outdoor ambient temperature, the outlet water temperature, the optimal opening degree of the main circuit electronic expansion valve, and the optimal opening degree of the enthalpy increase electronic expansion valve. With the outdoor ambient temperature and outlet water temperature determined, setting the optimal opening degree of the main circuit electronic expansion valve and the optimal opening degree of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve corresponding to the outdoor ambient temperature and outlet water temperature can ensure that the jet enthalpy-increasing system has better energy efficiency, stable exhaust temperature operation, and no liquid-carrying compression of the compressor.
[0075] It should be noted that the specific method for obtaining the outlet water temperature can refer to existing technologies, and this application will not elaborate on it.
[0076] In one embodiment, adjusting the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve to a first target opening and adjusting the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve to a second target opening can be performed according to a preset timing sequence. For example, the opening of the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve can be adjusted to the second target opening first, and the opening of the main circuit electronic expansion valve can be adjusted to the first target opening only after a preset time interval.
[0077] In one embodiment, if the parameter value of the enthalpy enhancement on / off determination parameter meets a second preset condition, the enthalpy enhancement is turned off to exit the jet enthalpy enhancement heating mode, including: if f > f 开启增焓 Then the compressor frequency will be reduced to f. 开启增焓 -f 缓冲 If f≤f 开启增焓 If the compressor frequency remains constant, the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve will be closed after a preset time.
[0078] In one embodiment, after closing the enthalpy-increasing electronic expansion valve after a preset time, the jet enthalpy-increasing control method may further include: obtaining the exhaust temperature of the jet enthalpy-increasing system; if the exhaust temperature is greater than a preset temperature, increasing the opening of the main electronic expansion valve by a preset degree; if the exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, maintaining the opening of the main electronic expansion valve unchanged.
[0079] Understandably, the jet enthalpy enhancement system can also shut off enthalpy enhancement when it is determined to enter defrost mode.
