[0023] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0024] The cooling tower group anomaly detection method, device, air handling equipment and medium of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the embodiments of the present application, the cooling tower group comprises a plurality of parallel cooling towers, each of which comprises a fan. For example, referring to Figure 1 , the cooling tower group can comprise cooling tower 1, cooling tower 2, cooling tower 3 and cooling tower 4, the cooling water inlets of the cooling tower 1 to the cooling tower 4 are connected to the cooling water inlet pipeline of the cooling tower group, and the cooling water outlets of the cooling tower 1 to the cooling tower 4 are connected to the cooling water outlet pipeline of the cooling tower group, that is, the cooling tower 1 to the cooling tower 4 are connected in parallel between the cooling water inlet pipeline and the cooling water outlet pipeline of the cooling tower group. Each cooling tower comprises a fan, such as fan 1 to fan 4. When the cooling tower group is working, the cooling water enters each cooling tower through the cooling water inlet pipeline of the cooling tower group, and at the same time, the fan of each cooling tower works to make the air enter each cooling tower through the air inlet of each cooling tower, so that the cooling water and the air exchange heat in the cooling tower, and the cooled cooling water flows out through the cooling water outlet pipeline of the cooling tower group, and the cooled air is discharged from the air outlet of the cooling tower.

[0026] During the working process of the cooling tower group, safety fault diagnosis is generally performed on the cooling tower group, such as excessive fan current, fan stall, cooling water flow interruption, etc., but there is a lack of energy-saving fault diagnosis of the cooling tower group. Based on this, in the embodiments of the present application, by acquiring the operating parameters of the cooling tower group, such as fan current, temperature, humidity and the like, the energy-saving fault diagnosis of the fan performance, water distribution and heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower group can be realized.

[0027] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the cooling tower group anomaly detection method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2 , the cooling tower group anomaly detection method can comprise:

[0028] S110, acquiring the fan current of each cooling tower.

[0029] Specifically, a current sensor can be set for the fan of each cooling tower, and the fan current of each cooling tower is acquired through the current sensor. For example, Figure 1 , a current sensor can be set for each of the fan 1 to the fan 4, and the corresponding current is acquired through the current sensor.

[0030] S120, acquiring the water-fan ratio of each cooling tower in the case that the fan currents of the plurality of cooling towers are consistent.

[0031] Specifically, after obtaining the fan currents of the cooling towers, it is determined whether the fan currents are the same or the difference is within a small range. If yes, it is considered that the fan currents of the cooling towers are consistent, and the air-water ratio of each cooling tower can be obtained. It should be noted that the air-water ratio refers to the ratio of air flow rate to cooling water flow rate.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , the fan current of each of the cooling towers 1 to 4 can be obtained. If the fan currents of the cooling towers 1 to 4 are the same, the air-water ratio of each of the cooling towers 1 to 4 is further obtained, for example, the ratio of the air flow rate to the cooling water flow rate of each cooling tower.

[0033] S130, based on the air-water ratio of each cooling tower, performing abnormality detection on the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers.

[0034] Specifically, after obtaining the air-water ratio of each cooling tower, the abnormality detection on the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers can be performed based on the air-water ratio of each cooling tower. For example, it can be determined whether the air-water ratios are the same or the difference is within a small range. If yes, it is considered that the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers is uniform; if no, it is considered that the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers is not uniform, i.e., the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers is abnormal. That is, the fan current can be determined first to exclude fan failure, and then whether the water distribution is abnormal can be determined.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , after obtaining the air-water ratio of each of the cooling towers 1 to 4, if the air-water ratios of the cooling towers 1 to 4 are the same, it is considered that the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers is uniform; if the air-water ratios of the cooling towers 1 to 4 are not the same, it is considered that the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers is not uniform, i.e., the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers is abnormal.

[0036] In the above embodiments, by obtaining the fan current and the air-water ratio of the cooling tower group, the abnormality detection on the water distribution of the cooling tower group can be realized, thereby realizing the energy-saving fault diagnosis of the cooling tower group to a certain extent.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the air-water ratio of each cooling tower is obtained, including:

[0038] S210, for any cooling tower, obtaining the air inlet enthalpy value, the air outlet enthalpy value, the cooling water inlet temperature and the cooling water outlet temperature of the cooling tower.

[0039] Specifically, the enthalpy of air refers to the total heat contained in the air, the air inlet enthalpy of the cooling tower refers to the total heat contained in the air at the air inlet of the cooling tower, and the air outlet enthalpy of the cooling tower refers to the total heat contained in the air at the air outlet of the cooling tower. Enthalpy is a combination of temperature and humidity, so the air inlet enthalpy of the cooling tower can be obtained based on the temperature and humidity at the air inlet of the cooling tower, and the air outlet enthalpy of the cooling tower can be obtained based on the temperature and humidity at the air outlet of the cooling tower.

[0040] For example, referring to Figure 1 Since the temperature and humidity at the air inlet of each cooling tower are basically the same, one temperature sensor TA0 and one humidity sensor SA0 can be arranged at the air inlet of one cooling tower, such as cooling tower 1, the air inlet temperature of cooling tower 1 is obtained through temperature sensor TA0, the air inlet humidity of cooling tower 1 is obtained through humidity sensor SA0, and the air inlet enthalpy of cooling tower 1 is calculated according to the air inlet temperature and the air inlet humidity, so as to obtain the air inlet enthalpy of each cooling tower.

[0041] Since the air undergoes different degrees of heat exchange after entering each cooling tower, the temperature and humidity at the air outlet of each cooling tower are not the same, so a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor need to be arranged at the air outlet of each cooling tower, such as temperature sensor TA1 and humidity sensor SA1 arranged at the air outlet of cooling tower 1, the air outlet temperature of cooling tower 1 is obtained through temperature sensor TA1, the air outlet humidity of cooling tower 1 is obtained through humidity sensor SA1, and the air outlet enthalpy of cooling tower 1 is calculated according to the air outlet temperature and the air outlet humidity; similarly, the air outlet enthalpy of each cooling tower in cooling tower 2 to cooling tower 4 is calculated.

[0042] Similarly, a temperature sensor T0 can be arranged on the cooling water inlet pipeline of the cooling tower group, and the temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water inlet pipeline is obtained through temperature sensor T0 as the cooling water inlet temperature of each cooling tower. A temperature sensor, such as temperature sensor T1, is arranged at the cooling water outlet of each cooling tower to obtain the cooling water outlet temperature of the corresponding cooling tower.

[0043] S220, obtaining the difference between the air outlet enthalpy and the air inlet enthalpy to obtain the air inlet and outlet enthalpy difference, and obtaining the difference between the cooling water outlet temperature and the cooling water inlet temperature to obtain the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference.

[0044] S230, obtaining the ratio of the air inlet and outlet enthalpy difference to the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference to obtain the air-water ratio.

[0045] Specifically, based on the energy conservation, (air inlet enthalpy - air outlet enthalpy) x air flow = (cooling water inlet temperature - cooling water outlet temperature) x specific heat of water x cooling water flow, therefore, air-water ratio = air flow / cooling water flow = (cooling water inlet temperature - cooling water outlet temperature) x specific heat of water / (air inlet enthalpy - air outlet enthalpy). Wherein, the specific heat of water is a constant, and the purpose of calculation is to determine whether the air-water ratios of the multiple cooling towers are consistent, therefore, the specific heat of water can be omitted, so that it can not only be determined whether the air-water ratios are consistent, but also the calculation amount is reduced.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 , after obtaining the air inlet enthalpy, air outlet enthalpy, cooling water inlet temperature and cooling water outlet temperature of each of the cooling towers 1 to 4, the air-water ratio of each of the cooling towers can be calculated according to air-water ratio = (cooling water inlet temperature - cooling water outlet temperature) x specific heat of water / (air inlet enthalpy - air outlet enthalpy), and then it is determined whether the water distribution of the multiple cooling towers is abnormal based on the air-water ratio of each of the cooling towers.

[0047] In some embodiments, based on the air-water ratio of each of the cooling towers, the abnormal detection of the water distribution of the multiple cooling towers comprises: in the case that the air-water ratios of the multiple cooling towers are inconsistent, it is determined that the water distribution of the multiple cooling towers is uneven, wherein the air-water ratio is inversely related to the water amount.

[0048] Specifically, it can be determined whether the air-water ratios of the multiple cooling towers are the same or the difference is within a very small range, if yes, it is considered that the air-water ratios of the multiple cooling towers are consistent, otherwise, it is considered that the air-water ratios of the multiple cooling towers are inconsistent, at this time, it is determined that the water distribution of the multiple cooling towers is uneven, wherein the air-water ratio is greater, the water amount is smaller, and the air-water ratio is smaller, the water amount is greater. As shown in Figure 1 , it is assumed that the air-water ratio of the cooling tower 1 is inconsistent with the air-water ratios of the other cooling towers, and is smaller than the air-water ratios of the other cooling towers, then it is considered that the water amount of the cooling tower 1 is greater.

[0049] In this way, the energy-saving fault diagnosis of the water distribution abnormality of the cooling tower group can be realized.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the abnormal detection method of the cooling tower group can further comprise:

[0051] S310, in the case that the air-water ratios of the multiple cooling towers are consistent, the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of each of the cooling towers is obtained.

[0052] Specifically, the wet-bulb temperature refers to the temperature reached by a piece of air when it is saturated (relative humidity reaches 100%). The wet-bulb temperature difference of the air inlet and outlet of the cooling tower refers to the difference between the wet-bulb temperature of the air outlet of the cooling tower and the wet-bulb temperature of the air inlet of the cooling tower, wherein the wet-bulb temperature of the air inlet of the cooling tower can be obtained according to the temperature and humidity at the air inlet of the cooling tower, and the wet-bulb temperature of the air outlet of the cooling tower can be obtained according to the temperature and humidity at the air outlet of the cooling tower.

[0053] For example, referring to Figure 1 The temperature sensor TA0 can be used to obtain the air inlet temperature of the cooling tower 1, the humidity sensor SA0 can be used to obtain the air inlet humidity of the cooling tower 1, and the air inlet wet-bulb temperature of the cooling tower 1 can be calculated according to the air inlet temperature and the air inlet humidity, so as to obtain the air inlet wet-bulb temperature of each cooling tower. At the same time, the temperature sensor TA1 can be used to obtain the air outlet temperature of the cooling tower 1, the humidity sensor SA1 can be used to obtain the air outlet humidity of the cooling tower 1, and the air outlet wet-bulb temperature of the cooling tower 1 can be calculated according to the air outlet temperature and the air outlet humidity, and the air outlet wet-bulb temperature of each of the cooling towers 2 to 4 can be calculated in the same way. Then, the difference between the air outlet wet-bulb temperature and the air inlet wet-bulb temperature of each of the cooling towers 1 to 4 is calculated to obtain the wet-bulb temperature difference of the air inlet and outlet of each cooling tower.

[0054] The cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference refers to the difference between the cooling water outlet temperature and the cooling water inlet temperature of the cooling tower. As Figure 1 shown, the temperature sensor T0 can be used to obtain the temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water inlet pipeline as the cooling water inlet temperature of each cooling tower, and the temperature sensors T1 and the like can be used to obtain the cooling water outlet temperature of each cooling tower. Then, the difference between the cooling water outlet temperature and the cooling water inlet temperature is obtained to obtain the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of each cooling tower.

[0055] In S320, the heat exchange efficiency of the plurality of cooling towers is detected for abnormality according to the wet-bulb temperature difference of the air inlet and outlet of each cooling tower or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference.

[0056] Specifically, in the case where the air-water ratio of the plurality of cooling towers is consistent, that is, the case where the water amount of the cooling tower group is uniform, the heat exchange efficiency of each cooling tower can be judged to be abnormal or not based on the wet-bulb temperature difference of the air inlet and outlet of each cooling tower or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference.

[0057] It should be noted that the calculation method of the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower can include two kinds. One is that the heat exchange efficiency = (cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference) / (cooling water inlet temperature-air inlet wet bulb temperature). The other is that the heat exchange efficiency = (air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference) / (cooling water inlet temperature-air inlet wet bulb temperature). In the two methods, the denominator is the difference between the cooling water inlet temperature and the air inlet wet bulb temperature. For the parallel cooling towers, the cooling water inlet temperature and the air inlet wet bulb temperature of each cooling tower are the same. Therefore, for each cooling tower, the denominator is the same when calculating the heat exchange efficiency. As long as the consistency of the numerator is judged, the difference of the heat exchange efficiency can be judged. That is, the consistency of the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of each cooling tower is judged, and the abnormality of the heat exchange efficiency is detected.

[0058] In some embodiments, the abnormality of the heat exchange efficiency of the plurality of cooling towers is detected according to the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of each cooling tower. The abnormality detection of the heat exchange efficiency of the plurality of cooling towers includes: in the case that the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the plurality of cooling towers is inconsistent, determining that the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower whose air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference or cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference meets the preset condition decreases.

[0059] For example, it can be judged whether the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference of each cooling tower is the same or the difference is within a very small range. If yes, it is considered that the plurality of cooling towers does not have the heat exchange efficiency decrease fault. If no, it is considered that the plurality of cooling towers has the heat exchange efficiency decrease fault. As shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference of the cooling tower 1 is smaller than that of the other cooling towers. It is considered that the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower 1 decreases. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 3, it can be judged whether the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of each cooling tower is the same or the difference is within a very small range. If yes, it is considered that the plurality of cooling towers does not have the heat exchange efficiency decrease fault. If no, it is considered that the plurality of cooling towers has the heat exchange efficiency decrease fault. As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the cooling tower 1 is smaller than that of the other cooling towers. It is considered that the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower 1 decreases. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 3, it can be judged whether the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of each cooling tower is the same or the difference is within a very small range. If yes, it is considered that the plurality of cooling towers does not have the heat exchange efficiency decrease fault. If no, it is considered that the plurality of cooling towers has the heat exchange efficiency decrease fault. As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the cooling tower 1 is smaller than that of the other cooling towers. It is considered that the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower 1 decreases.

[0060] In the above embodiments, by obtaining the air inlet and outlet wet bulb temperature difference or the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the cooling tower group, the abnormality of the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower group can be detected, so that the energy-saving fault diagnosis of the cooling tower group can be realized to a certain extent.

[0061] In some embodiments, each cooling tower further includes a shell and a filler. The method further includes: in the case that the fan currents of the plurality of cooling towers are inconsistent, the fan performance of each cooling tower is detected according to the shell state and the filler state of each cooling tower.

[0062] Specifically, in the cooling tower group, the plurality of cooling towers in parallel are of the same model and are operated at the same frequency, and in the case that the fan currents of the plurality of cooling towers are inconsistent, it is indicated that the fan of the cooling tower can have a fault, at this time, the cause of the fan fault can be further judged. For example, the shell state and the filler state of each cooling tower can be acquired, and whether the fan performance is decreased is further judged based on the shell state and the filler state.

[0063] In some embodiments, according to the shell state and the filler state of each cooling tower, the fan performance of each cooling tower is abnormally detected, including: in the case that the shell and the filler of the cooling tower are not damaged, it is determined that the fan performance of the cooling tower is decreased.

[0064] Specifically, in the case that the fan currents of the plurality of cooling towers are inconsistent, it is indicated that the fan of the cooling tower can have a fault, at this time, the shell state and the filler state of each cooling tower are acquired, and if the shell and the filler of the fan are not damaged, it is indicated that the fan performance is decreased. As shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the fan current of the cooling tower 1 is decreased compared with the fan currents of the other cooling towers, and the shell and the filler of the fan of the cooling tower 1 are not damaged, and it is indicated that the fan performance of the cooling tower 1 is decreased. Figure 1

[0065] In the above embodiments, by acquiring the fan current, the shell state and the filler state of the cooling tower group, the fan performance abnormality detection can be realized, and to a certain extent, the energy-saving fault diagnosis of the cooling tower group can be realized.

[0066] In summary, by acquiring the operating parameters of the cooling tower group, such as the fan current, temperature, humidity and the like, the fan performance, water distribution and heat exchange efficiency and the like of the cooling tower group can be diagnosed.

[0067] In some embodiments, a computer readable storage medium is also provided, and a program is stored on the computer readable storage medium, and the program is executed by a processor to implement the abnormality detection method of the cooling tower group of any of the preceding embodiments.

[0069] In some embodiments, an air handling device is also provided, including a memory, a processor and a program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, and when the processor executes the program, the abnormality detection method of the cooling tower group of any of the preceding embodiments is implemented.

[0070] ​It should be noted that the above embodiments and beneficial effects of the cooling tower group anomaly detection method are also applicable to the air handling device of the present application. To avoid redundancy, they will not be described in detail here.

The detection module 520 is configured to, in the case that the fan currents of the plurality of cooling towers are consistent, acquire the air-water ratio of each cooling tower, and perform anomaly detection on the water distribution of the plurality of cooling towers based on the air-water ratio of each cooling tower.
