Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) technical field, in particular to a heating unit for reducing return water temperature and a method for reducing return water temperature. BACKGROUND

[0002] The lower the return water temperature of the primary network is, the higher the heat network delivery efficiency is; if the heat source is from cogeneration, more waste heat can be utilized to increase the power generation efficiency of the cogeneration heat source; if the heat source is a gas boiler, flue gas waste heat can be recovered to improve the boiler efficiency, so the low return water temperature is very important for the heating unit and the heat source.

[0003] However, in practice, it is very difficult to reduce the return water temperature of the heating unit, and the currently available methods are as follows:

[0004] (1) The method of using an absorption heat pump to reduce the return water temperature of the primary network, in which the absorption heat pump is expensive, occupies a large area, and is difficult to operate and maintain, so it is difficult to be widely promoted.

[0005] (2) The method of using an electric heat pump to reduce the return water temperature of the primary network, in which the electric heat pump needs to use electricity, and the cost of the electric heat pump is also high, and it is a complex device with high operation and maintenance difficulty.

[0006] (3) The method of increasing the area of the heat user radiator to reduce the return water temperature of the primary network, in which the radiator has been installed in the heat user's home, and it is difficult to increase the heat dissipation area, and the pipeline has been arranged, so it is difficult to replace, and therefore this method is not feasible in practice.

[0007] (4) The method of reducing the flow of the secondary network to reduce the return water temperature of the secondary network, and then reducing the return water temperature of the primary network, in which reducing the flow of the secondary network will cause hydraulic imbalance, so this method is difficult to use in practice.

[0008] (5) The method of using a cascade heat exchange mode to reduce the return water temperature of the primary network, in which the primary outlet water of the terminal heat exchanger for heating is used as the primary inlet water of the terminal heat exchanger for floor heating, so that the return water temperature of the primary network is close to the return water temperature of the floor heating system, and the return water temperature of the primary network is reduced, but this method often causes interference between the floor heating system and the heating system, and it is also necessary to have both the heating system and the floor heating system in one heat exchanger, which is a complex method with high operation and maintenance difficulty.

The method for reducing return water temperature described in the example of the present application will be described taking the centralized heat source indirect heat supply unit with reduced return water temperature as an example.

[0084] The structure of the centralized heat source indirect heat supply unit with reduced return water temperature is shown in Figure 3As shown, the primary network water supply pipe 12 is sequentially connected with a primary network water supply pressure transmitter 11, a primary network water supply temperature transmitter 13, an electric regulating valve 17 and an electric on-off valve 18; the primary network return pipe 15 is connected with a primary network return pressure transmitter 14 and a primary network return temperature transmitter 16; the secondary network water supply pipe 23 is sequentially installed with a secondary network water supply temperature transmitter 25 and a secondary network water supply pressure transmitter 27; the secondary network return pipe 24 is sequentially installed with a secondary network circulating pump 21, a heat meter 22, a secondary network return temperature transmitter 26 and a secondary network return pressure transmitter 28, and the secondary network water supply pipe 23 and the secondary network return pipe 24 are connected with a heat user building 29; and the heat exchanger 19 is connected between the primary network and the secondary network.

[0085] The touch screen on the unit controller 4 is connected with the touch screen 1 and the gateway 2 through the gateway interface 3; the first analog input interface 8 is connected with the primary network water supply pressure transmitter 11, the primary network water supply temperature transmitter 13, the primary network return pressure transmitter 14 and the primary network return temperature transmitter 16; the second analog input interface 5 is connected with the secondary network water supply temperature transmitter 25, the secondary network water supply pressure transmitter 27, the secondary network return temperature transmitter 26 and the secondary network return pressure transmitter 28; the analog output interface 9 is connected with the secondary network circulating pump frequency converter 20, the electric regulating valve 17 and the electric on-off valve 18; the RS485 interface 10 is connected with the heat meter 22; and the room temperature and outdoor temperature interface 30 is connected with the room temperature sensor 6 and the outdoor temperature sensor 7. The secondary network circulating pump frequency converter 20 is also connected with the secondary network circulating pump 21.

[0086] The upper computer 31 in the dispatching room is used to acquire the operation data collected by the unit controller and perform remote monitoring.

[0087] The main function of the unit controller 4 is to acquire operation data, communicate with the upper computer 31, control the valve position of the electric regulating valve 17 and the electric on-off valve 18, and the unit controller 4 has a secondary network water supply temperature regulator inside, which can regulate the actual secondary network water supply temperature value according to the given secondary network water supply temperature target value, ensure that the actual secondary network water supply temperature value is equal to the secondary network water supply temperature target value, and realize the hydraulic balance of the primary network when the electric on-off valve 18 is in the on state.

[0088] A method for reducing return water temperature applied to the above-mentioned heat supply unit, comprising:

[0089] (1) After the normal operation of the above-mentioned heat supply unit, the unit controller acquires real-time operation data of the above-mentioned heat supply unit.

[0090] After the above heating unit is in normal operation, the real-time operation data collected by the unit controller includes primary network pressure, secondary network pressure, primary network water supply temperature, secondary network water supply temperature, primary network return water temperature, secondary network return water temperature, cumulative heat, cumulative flow, instantaneous heat, instantaneous flow, secondary network circulating pump frequency, valve opening of the electric regulating valve, valve state of the electric on-off valve, indoor temperature and outdoor temperature, etc.

[0091] (2) According to the real-time operation data, the primary network return water temperature of the above heating unit is reduced, specifically including:

[0092] S1: Set the parameters of the secondary network water supply temperature regulator inside the unit controller.

[0093] When the secondary network circulating pump is in 100% design flow condition, and the state of the electric on-off valve 18 is in the on state, the secondary network water supply temperature regulator controls the valve position of the electric regulating valve 17 to ensure that the actual value tgs of the secondary network water supply temperature of the heat exchanger is consistent with the target value tgj of the secondary network water supply temperature. The parameters of the secondary network water supply temperature regulator under the condition that the target value tgj of the secondary network water supply temperature is consistent are: control period Ti (range 0-300s, preferably 60s), valve opening increment ΔF (1%-5%, preferably 2%), and control water supply temperature dead zone ΔT (range ±3℃, preferably ±1℃).

[0094] Here, the value range of the target value tgdj of the secondary network water supply temperature of the floor heating is 50-60℃, and the preferred value is 55℃; the value range of the target value tggj of the secondary network water supply temperature of the wall heating is 60-70℃, and the preferred value is 65℃.

[0095] When the state of the electric on-off valve 18 is in the off state, the secondary network water supply temperature regulator does not act, and the valve position of the electric regulating valve 17 does not change.

[0096] S2: Set the upper limit target value thxj and the lower limit target value thnj of the secondary network return water temperature; wherein the value range of the upper limit target value thdxj of the secondary network return water temperature of the floor heating is 25-35℃, and the value range of the lower limit target value thdnj is 20-30℃, and the preferred values are thdxj=30℃ and thdnj=25℃; the value range of the upper limit target value thgxj of the secondary network return water temperature of the wall heating is 30-40℃, and the value range of the lower limit target value thgnj is 20-30℃, and the preferred values are thgxj=35℃ and thgnj=25℃.

[0097] S3: Set the target room temperature; wherein the value range of the upper limit target value tnxj of the room temperature is 18-24℃, and preferably the upper limit target value is 20℃; the value range of the lower limit target value tnnj of the room temperature is 18-22℃, and preferably the lower limit target value is 18℃.

[0098] S4: The electric on-off valve 18 regulates the secondary network return water temperature in on-off mode.

[0099] If the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is higher than the upper limit target value thxj of the secondary network return water temperature, the state of the electric on-off valve 18 is controlled to be off, and the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is waited to be lower than the lower limit target value thnj of the secondary network return water temperature.

[0100] If the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is lower than the lower limit target value thnj of the secondary network return water temperature, the state of the electric on-off valve 18 is controlled to be on, and the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is waited to be higher than the upper limit target value thxj of the secondary network return water temperature.

[0101] S5: If the room temperature actual value tns is lower than the lower limit target value tnnj of the room temperature, the lower limit target value thnj of the secondary network return water temperature is to be lowered (thdnj is the lower limit target value of the floor heating, and thgnj is the lower limit target value of the wall-mounted heating), where thdnj = thdxj - Δth (floor heating), and thgnj = thgxj - Δth (wall-mounted heating). Here, the difference Δth of the return water temperature is in the range of 2-5°C, and the preferred value is 3°C.

[0102] If the room temperature actual value tns is higher than the upper limit target value tnxj of the room temperature, the lower limit target value thnj of the secondary network return water temperature is kept unchanged.

[0103] If the room temperature actual value tns is higher than the lower limit target value tnnj of the room temperature and lower than the upper limit target value tnxj of the room temperature, the lower limit target value thnj of the secondary network return water temperature is thxj - 2 x Δth.

[0104] Example: A central heat source indirect heating system has 60 indirect heating units, a heating area of 3 million square meters, and the end heat dissipater is wall-mounted heating. In order to ensure the primary network delivery efficiency, the primary network return water temperature needs to be lowered and the system needs to be operated below 40°C. The difference between the secondary network supply water temperature and the secondary network return water temperature of these indirect heating units is between 5-8°C, and the room temperature is required to be between 18-20°C. According to the requirements, all the existing indirect heating units in the heating system are to be modified into indirect heating units with the function of lowering the return water temperature, and the corresponding unit control cabinet is configured, and the low return water temperature operation is realized according to the following method.

[0105] 1. Obtain the secondary network supply water temperature of each heat exchanger under the balanced working condition of the primary network.

[0106] First, make the secondary network circulating pump operate under the 100% design flow condition, and set the parameters of the secondary network supply water temperature regulator under the on condition of the electric on-off valve, i.e. the control period Ti = 60s, the valve opening increment ΔF = 2%, and the control supply water temperature dead zone ΔT = ±1°C.

[0107] Then, set the secondary network supply water temperature target value of all the heating heat exchangers as tgj=65℃, and the secondary network supply water temperature regulator of the unit controller automatically controls the secondary network supply water temperature actual value tgs of the heating heat exchangers to be consistent with the secondary network supply water temperature target value, so as to realize the hydraulic balance among the heat exchangers in the open state of the electric on-off valve.

[0108] 2, set the upper and lower limit target values of the secondary network return water temperature: the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature of the heating is thgxj=38℃, and the lower limit target value is thgnj=25℃; the difference Δth is 3℃.

[0109] 3, set the upper limit target value of the room temperature as tnxj=20℃, and the lower limit target value of the room temperature as tnnj=18℃.

[0110] 4, the electric on-off valve 18 controls the return water temperature in an on-off manner

[0111] (1) if the room temperature actual value tns is higher than the upper limit target value of the room temperature tnxj=20℃, keep the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj=25℃:

[0112] if the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is higher than the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgxj=38℃, the electric on-off valve is off, the secondary network circulating pump is normally operated, and then wait for the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths to be lower than the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj=25℃.

[0113] if the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is lower than the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj=25℃, the electric on-off valve is on, and then wait for the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths to be higher than the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature 38℃.

[0114] (2) if the room temperature actual value tns is lower than the lower limit target value of the room temperature tnnj=18℃: change the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature, thgnj=38℃-3℃=35℃, here Δth takes the value range of 3℃.

[0115] if the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is higher than the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgxj=38℃, the electric on-off valve is off, and then wait for the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths to be lower than the changed lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj=35℃.

[0116] If the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is lower than the changed lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj = 35℃, the electric on-off valve (18) is on, and then the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is waited to be higher than the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgxj = 38℃.

[0117] (3) If the room temperature actual value tns is higher than the lower limit target value of the room temperature tnnj = 18℃ and lower than the upper limit target value of the room temperature tnxj = 20℃, the lower limit target value of the return water temperature thgnj = 38℃ - 3℃ * 2 = 32℃ is changed, where the value range of Δth is 3℃. The subsequent steps are the same as step (2).

[0118] Further explanation is as follows:

[0119] (1) Process of increase of room temperature actual value of hot user

[0120] When the room temperature actual value tns is lower than the lower limit target value of the room temperature tnnj = 18℃ and the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is lower than the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj = 35℃, the electric on-off valve is on, the secondary network circulating pump is run, and the secondary network supply water temperature tgj = 65℃ hot water is sent to the user end; then after a period of time, the secondary network return water temperature actual value starts to rise, and when it exceeds the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgxj = 38℃, the electric on-off valve is off; then the secondary network supply water temperature and the secondary network return water temperature tend to be consistent, and continue to circulate in the secondary network, the actual secondary network return water temperature continuously decreases, and when it is lower than the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj = 35℃, the above process is continued until the room temperature actual value is higher than the upper limit of the room temperature 20℃.

[0121] (2) Process of decrease of room temperature actual value of hot user

[0122] When the room temperature actual value tns is higher than the upper limit target value of the room temperature tnxj = 20℃ and the secondary network return water temperature actual value ths is lower than the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj = 25℃, the electric on-off valve is on, the secondary network circulating pump is run, and the secondary network supply water temperature tgj = 65℃ hot water is sent to the user end; then after a period of time, the secondary network return water temperature actual value starts to rise, and when it exceeds the upper limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgxj = 38℃, the electric on-off valve is off; then the secondary network supply water temperature and the secondary network return water temperature tend to be consistent, and continue to circulate in the secondary network, the actual secondary network return water temperature continuously decreases, and when it is lower than the lower limit target value of the secondary network return water temperature thgnj = 35℃, the above process is continued until the room temperature actual value is lower than the lower limit target value of the room temperature 18℃.

[0123] (3) It can be seen that the fluctuation range of the secondary network return water temperature during the temperature rising process of the heat user room is 35-38℃, and the average return water temperature is 36.5℃; while during the temperature decreasing process of the heat user room, the fluctuation range of the secondary network return water temperature is 25-38℃, and the average return water temperature is 33℃, that is, when the actual value of the room temperature is lower than 18℃, a temperature rising process is started; when the actual value of the room temperature is higher than 20℃, a temperature decreasing process is started. Therefore, the room temperature fluctuates between 18-20℃.

[0124] (4) In order to avoid the room temperature from fluctuating too fast, an intermediate process is added, in which the actual value of the room temperature tns is greater than 18℃ and less than 20℃, during which the fluctuation range of the secondary network return water temperature is 32-38℃, and the average return water temperature is 35℃.
