Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dual-cold-source fresh air treatment system and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, building energy consumption accounts for approximately 27.5% of my country's total end-use energy consumption. With the further development of urbanization in my country, the total number of buildings will continue to increase, and both the total energy consumption of buildings and their proportion of total social energy consumption will continue to rise. Simultaneously, the focus of building consumption will shift from "hardware" (decoration and durable consumer goods) to "software" (functionality and environmental quality) consumption. Therefore, the energy consumption required to ensure indoor air quality (air conditioning, ventilation, heating, and hot water supply) will rise rapidly. Air conditioning accounts for a major proportion of building energy consumption, approximately two-thirds. Air conditioning is an indispensable means of indoor environmental regulation in modern buildings, providing a comfortable and efficient environment for people's production and life, while consuming a large amount of electricity. To reduce air conditioning energy consumption while meeting people's requirements for thermal and humidity environments, pollutant concentrations, and CO2 concentrations, more and more buildings are adopting heat recovery fresh air units.

[0003] Fresh air heat recovery units typically use sensible heat or total heat recovery devices as their core. They employ forced convection of fresh and exhaust air via a fan to recover energy from the exhaust air. Total heat recovery devices usually utilize polymer membranes or paper core structures, achieving moisture recovery when a water vapor partial pressure difference exists between the two ends. This results in high heat recovery efficiency, but moisture recovery is delayed, and after a period of operation, the humid environment can easily breed bacteria, contaminating the fresh air. Intermediate refrigerant heat recovery units use an intermediate refrigerant circulating between two heat recovery units, preventing cross-contamination and not being limited by distance. However, due to the thermal resistance of the intermediate medium, their thermal efficiency is lower. Rotary heat recovery units convert energy by having exhaust and fresh air flow in opposite directions during the rotation of a wheel. This method is highly efficient and has a self-cleaning function, but the unit occupies a large area, has transmission equipment, consumes power, and cannot avoid cross-contamination.

[0004] Heat pipe heat recovery machines utilize the phase change of the working fluid for heat transfer. Heat pipes are highly efficient heat transfer elements, with thermal conductivity hundreds of times higher than that of metals. They also feature good temperature uniformity, adjustable heat flux density, and reversible heat transfer direction. Heat pipe heat exchangers are easy to install, have a long service life, and simple air inlet and outlet separation, making them ideal energy-saving products for air conditioning, ventilation, waste heat recovery, and solar energy absorption.

[0005] Simple heat pipe heat recovery systems cannot effectively heat or cool the fresh air to near the indoor temperature when there is a large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors or when a large amount of fresh air is required. If the fresh air system is turned on in this case, it will put a huge load on the indoor temperature and humidity environment and affect comfort.

[0006] Heat pipe heat recovery systems are generally large in size. They use gravity heat pipes, which require the condenser section to be higher than the evaporator section. They are highly susceptible to installation angle and vibration. When used as heat recovery units, the installation direction needs to be reversed in winter and summer, making them relatively complex to use. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Example 1

[0062] This embodiment provides a dual-cold-source fresh air handling system. (See [link]) Figure 1 It includes: a heat pump air conditioning system 1, a pulsed heat pipe heat recovery system 2, a heat pump-heat pipe heat exchanger connection structure 3, and a testing and control device 4.

[0063] Specifically, see Figure 1 The heat pump air conditioning system 1 includes: a compressor 101, an indoor heat exchanger 102, a throttling device 103, an outdoor heat exchanger 104, and a four-way reversing valve 105. The components are connected in sequence through pipes, and the refrigerant circulates internally.

[0064] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pulsed heat pipe heat recovery system 2 includes: a fresh air duct 205, an exhaust air duct 206, and a heat pipe flat tube; the heat pipe flat tube passes through the fresh air duct 205 and the exhaust air duct 206. The fresh air duct 205 includes a fresh air inlet 211, a fresh air outlet 212, and a fresh air fan 203; the exhaust air duct 206 includes an exhaust air inlet 213, an exhaust air outlet 214, and an exhaust fan 204; the heat pipe flat tube is divided into three sections: a heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207, a heat pipe insulation section flat tube 208, and a heat pipe exhaust side flat tube 209. The heat pipe insulation section flat tube 208 is located between the fresh air duct 205 and the exhaust air duct 206.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments, the fresh air duct 205 is further provided with a filter device 201 and a guide plate 202. The filter device 201 is located between the fresh air inlet 211 and the heat pipe fresh air side flat pipe 207, and is used to remove foreign dust in the air.

[0066] Outdoor fresh air enters the fresh air duct 205 through the fresh air inlet 211, and then passes through the filter 201 to remove foreign particles and dust, the guide plate 202, and the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 for heat exchange. After being pressurized by the fresh air fan 203, it is delivered into the room through the fresh air outlet 212. Indoor exhaust air enters the exhaust duct 206 through the exhaust air inlet 213, recovers energy through the heat pipe exhaust side flat tube 209, and is then pressurized by the exhaust fan 204 before being discharged outdoors through the exhaust outlet 214. The heat pipe insulated section flat tube 208 is located between the two ducts and is wrapped with polyurethane insulation material.

[0067] Specifically, see Figure 1 The heat pump-heat pipe connection structure 3 includes a first bypass valve 301, a second bypass valve 302, a branch flat pipe 303, a heat exchange container 304, and a flat pipe copper pipe adapter 305. The first bypass valve 301 is located between the throttling device 103 and the indoor heat exchanger 102, and the second bypass valve 302 is located between the indoor heat exchanger 102 and the compressor 101. The first bypass valve 301 is connected to one flat pipe copper pipe adapter 305, and the second bypass valve 302 is connected to another flat pipe copper pipe adapter 305. Both ends of the branch flat pipe 303 are connected to the two flat pipe copper pipe adapters 305 respectively. A portion of the branch flat pipe 303 and a portion of the heat pipe fresh air side flat pipe 207 are placed in the heat exchange container 304 for heat exchange.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Fins 210 are provided on the outer side of the heat pipe exhaust side flat tube 209 and the outer side of the portion of the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 that does not extend into the heat exchange container 304. The heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 can be divided into a heat pump auxiliary section and a finned heat exchange section. The width of the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 should be the sum of the width covered by the fins 210 and the width of the heat exchange container 304 within the air duct.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the coverage width of the fins 210 on the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 to the total width of the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 is between 0.6 and 0.8. In areas with small indoor-outdoor temperature differences, the higher value of the range can be selected; in areas with large indoor-outdoor temperature differences, the lower value of the range can be selected, and more heat pump assistance can be used.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207, the insulation section flat tube 208, and the exhaust side flat tube 209 are formed by bending a flat aluminum tube with microchannels inside, and are filled with working fluid. Preferably, the working fluid filling amount FR and the microchannel flat tube size should meet the following requirements:

[0071] FR=0.4~0.7*[(2*W1+(N-2)*W2)*H]*L

[0072] FR is the amount of working fluid filled, N is the number of microchannels in the flat tube, W1 and W2 are the widths of the microchannels on both sides and the middle of the flat tube, respectively, H is the height of the microchannels in the flat tube, and L is the total length of the flat tube.

[0073] Preferably, the physical properties of the working fluid and the dimensions of the microchannel flat tube should meet the following requirements:

[0074]

[0075] g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m / s². 2 π is the mathematical constant pi, which is 3.1415926…; σ is the surface tension coefficient of the working fluid, in N / m; ρ l and ρ v These are the liquid phase density and gas phase density of the working fluid, respectively, in kg / m³. 3 .

[0076] Specifically, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The branch flat tube 303 is bent into a U-shaped structure, and the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube 207 is also bent into a U-shaped structure in the heat exchange container 304. A branch flat tube 303 U-shaped structure is inserted between the U-shaped structures of two adjacent heat pipe fresh air side flat tubes 207. The U-shaped structure of the heat pipe fresh air side flat tube (207) is fixed in contact with the U-shaped structure of the adjacent branch flat tube (303), for example, by welding.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat exchange container 304 is located within the fresh air duct 205, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The guide vane 202 consists of a louvered section with an opening angle on the left and a horizontal flow hole section on the right. The width of the louvered section is equal to the width of the heat exchange container 304 within the air duct. This directs the airflow to the right-side finned heat exchange section. The right-side horizontal flow hole ensures even and uniform airflow, enhancing heat exchange.

[0078] In this embodiment, during summer, the indoor heat exchanger 102 functions as an evaporator, with a portion of the refrigerant flowing sequentially through the first bypass valve 301, the flat copper tube adapter 305, and the branch flat tube 303, before returning through the second bypass valve 302. During winter, the indoor heat exchanger 102 functions as a condenser, with a portion of the refrigerant flowing sequentially through the second bypass valve 302, the flat copper tube adapter 305, and the branch flat tube 303, before returning through the first bypass valve 301. The branch flat tube 303 is welded to a portion of the flat tube on the heat pipe's fresh air side 207 and placed in the heat exchange container 304. During the transition between winter and summer, as the heat pump system reverses its operation, the heat pipe, as a passive heat exchange element, automatically reverses the operation of its evaporation and condensation sections without requiring a change in installation location.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat exchange container 304 contains a liquid, such as ethanol, to enhance heat exchange and its uniformity. The bending radius of the U-shaped structure of the branch flat tube 303 is equal to the spacing between the rows of the heat pipe fresh air side flat tubes 207.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 1 The flat tube copper tube adapter 305 includes a liquid distribution chamber, which is provided with a copper tube connection port and a branch flat tube connection port. The copper tube connection port is connected to the first bypass valve 301 and the second bypass valve 302 through pipes respectively, and the branch flat tube connection port is connected to the branch flat tube.

[0081] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, see [link to previous document]. Figure 3 The number of branch flat tubes is multiple, and the multiple branch flat tubes are connected in parallel. One end of each branch flat tube is connected to a branch flat tube connection port on the liquid distribution chamber of two flat tube copper tube adapters 305. The middle of each branch flat tube is bent to form a U-shaped structure. A branch flat tube 303 U-shaped structure is inserted between the U-shaped structures of two adjacent heat pipe fresh air side flat tubes 207.

[0082] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, see [link to previous document]. Figure 4 The number of branch flat tubes is one. The two ends of the branch flat tube are respectively connected to a branch flat tube connection port on the liquid distribution chamber of the two flat tube copper tube adapters 305. The middle part of the branch flat tube is bent to form multiple U-shaped structures. This structure is in series mode. A branch flat tube 303 U-shaped structure is inserted between the U-shaped structures of two adjacent heat pipe fresh air side flat tubes 207.

[0083] According to another aspect of this application, see Figure 6 The embodiments of the present invention also provide a control method based on the above-mentioned dual-cold-source fresh air handling system, which includes the following steps:

[0100] In the aforementioned control method: a carbon dioxide concentration is set. and The standard for judging whether room air is fresh is selected according to GB / T18883-2022 "Indoor Air Quality Standard". The human body is very sensitive to increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide; every 0.5% increase in carbon dioxide content will cause noticeable reactions. When no one is in the room, the carbon dioxide concentration is generally around 500 to 700 PPM. When the concentration reaches 1000 PPM, people will feel stuffy, have difficulty concentrating, and experience palpitations. When the concentration reaches 1500-2000 PPM, people will experience shortness of breath, headaches, and dizziness. Above 2000 PPM, cognitive abilities will significantly decline. Set to 1000 PPM. Set to 700 PPM.

[0102] The fan setpoint speed N0 is the initial fan speed, determined by the air-side pressure drop, fan performance curve, and the air volume required by the occupants. The fan speed variation ΔN is an indicator for adjusting air volume to adapt to the heat load; the setpoint can be 20-50 r / min. The minimum setpoint speed N... min This is to prevent excessive differences in the volume of fresh air and exhaust air from causing excessive pressure difference between the inside and outside of the room, which would affect human comfort. The setting is based on the fan speed N0 and the air volume required by the people in the room.
