[0056] People inhale O2 and exhale CO2 through respiration. Excessive indoor CO2 concentration can cause headaches, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. To ensure human health, indoor CO2 concentration must be lower than the set maximum CO2 concentration. The design of fresh air systems in conventional buildings is based on the metabolic needs of people. The "Indoor Air Quality Standard" GB / T18883-2002 stipulates that the indoor fresh air volume should be ≥30m³. 3 The daily average indoor CO2 concentration is <1000 ppm (per person / h). CO2 is equivalent to nutrients for plants; a higher CO2 concentration helps accelerate photosynthesis and promotes plant growth. Plants absorb CO2 and release O2 during photosynthesis. It is estimated that 30% herbaceous cover in the exhibition hall, under sufficient light, can reduce the indoor CO2 concentration by 60% within 1.5 hours. Unlike conventional residential buildings, ventilation in greenhouses is relatively less precise. According to the "Technical Specifications for Plant Maintenance and Management in Chongqing Exhibition Greenhouses," taking the flower area as an example, "Throughout the year, when the indoor temperature exceeds 18℃, depending on the weather, the top windows, side windows, and circulating fans should be opened in a timely manner to maintain ventilation and air circulation within the greenhouse." According to "Modern Greenhouse Engineering," after sunrise, plants absorb a large amount of CO2 from the greenhouse air during photosynthesis, causing a sharp drop in CO2 concentration. Although the respiration of microorganisms and the decomposition of organic matter in the indoor soil release CO2, providing a small supplement, this is far from sufficient. To maintain normal photosynthesis, exhibition halls with continuous nighttime lighting require continuous fresh air ventilation to replenish indoor CO2 concentration. Exhibition halls without continuous nighttime lighting need to start fresh air ventilation immediately after sunrise, and the indoor CO2 concentration must be higher than the set minimum CO2 concentration (e.g., 200-300 ppm). In summary, the metabolic coupling between plants and people requires a corresponding indoor fresh air system control strategy to meet the needs of plant growth and human health.

[0057] Many environmental factors influence plant photosynthetic rates, including leaf temperature, CO2 concentration, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and soil moisture. The plants in the exhibition hall are all indoors and artificially cultivated. The environmental factors affecting photosynthesis, namely temperature and soil moisture, are relatively constant. The photosynthetic rate is mainly affected by CO2 concentration and PAR intensity. Existing quantitative studies on the relationship between plant photosynthetic rates and environmental responses still have limitations and cannot be used for general engineering calculations. To simplify the design, this study surveyed 146 species of trees, shrubs, vines, and grasses in 10 regions, including Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Changsha, measuring daily carbon sequestration per unit leaf area and leaf area index. Empirical values ​​for daytime net photosynthetic rate, nighttime dark respiration rate, and leaf area index of trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines were established to simplify design calculations. However, considering the significant differences in metabolic rates among different plant types, classifying them as trees, shrubs, grasses, and vines may not accurately reflect the actual situation. Therefore, this invention proposes a feedback-based fresh air system regulation method, which uses data from the commissioning and operation phases to correct the metabolic intensity of plants, thereby improving the regulation accuracy of the fresh air system.

[0058] Given that buildings such as plant pavilions and flower expos have high plant and human density, the metabolism of both people and plants affects air quality, and air quality also affects the health of people and plants. Therefore, a fresh air system control strategy that differs from that of conventional civil buildings is needed to ensure indoor air quality.

[0059] The purpose of this invention is to propose an indoor air quality control system based on the coupling effect of plant and human metabolism. The system consists of an indoor CO2 concentration sensor, photosynthetically active radiation intensity, indoor occupant number monitoring sensor, analysis and control unit, and a fresh air system. The analysis and control unit is used to analyze the monitoring data of the indoor sensor cluster and the indoor occupant number monitoring sensor, and to perform feedback-type net photosynthetic rate analysis of plants and on-demand calculation of fresh air volume, thereby controlling the fresh air system in real time.

[0060] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This invention describes a fresh air system and control method based on the coupling effect of plant and human metabolism.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a control method for a fresh air system based on the coupling effect of plant and human metabolism includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S110: Design the maximum and minimum fresh air volume of the fresh air system based on the condition of indoor plants and the metabolism of people;

[0063] Step S120: Adjust the fresh air system to the preset minimum light intensity and correct the net photosynthetic rate and respiration rate of the plants.

[0064] Step S130: Dynamically adjust the fresh air volume based on the preset minimum light intensity, the corrected net photosynthetic rate of plants, the respiration rate, and fluctuations in the number of people.

[0065] Step S140 involves adjusting the minimum light intensity using a feedback mechanism, back-calculating the net photosynthetic rate and respiration rate of the plants, and dynamically adjusting the fresh air volume in conjunction with the real-time fresh air volume of the fresh air system.

[0066] The control method for a fresh air system based on the coupling effect of plant and human metabolism, as described in this invention, is divided into a design phase, a commissioning phase, and a formal operation phase, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] Step A. In the design phase, the fresh air volume is designed based on the condition of indoor plants and the metabolism of people, and the maximum design fresh air volume Q of the system is determined. max and minimum design fresh air volume Q min .

[0070]

[0071] Step A2. Calculate the maximum fresh air volume Q of the system to meet the target indoor CO2 concentration and personnel density from the perspective of human health. max :

[0072]

[0073] In equations (1-3), E plant,day (m 3 / h) represents the net photosynthetic rate of the plants within the exhibition hall, calculated during the design phase. plant,day The calculation can be performed using formula (2) and Table 1 based on the design of the plants in the exhibition hall; M2 (ppm) is the minimum indoor CO2 concentration required for plants to perform photosynthesis; M out (ppm) represents the CO2 concentration in the fresh air; P n (g / (m 2 ·h)) represents the net photosynthetic rate of the plant; a positive value indicates that the photosynthetic rate is greater than the respiration rate, and a negative value indicates that the photosynthetic rate is less than the respiration rate; A leaf (m 2 ρ represents the leaf area of ​​plants, which is the product of the leaf area index and the green area; CO2 (g / m 3 () represents the density of CO2 gas, typically taken as 1.997 g / m³. 3 N represents the number of people; e people (m3 / (h·person)) represents the rate at which people exhale CO2; M1 represents the target design CO2 concentration indoors.

[0076] Note: The data in the table above will be optimized as research progresses and the statistical sample increases, or the plant classification may be further refined.

[0077] Step B. Debugging Phase: The fresh air system is debugged to set the system's minimum light intensity PFD1 and correct the plant's net photosynthetic rate E. plant,day and respiratory rate E plant,night The debugging phase typically lasts 1 to 2 days;

[0078] Step B1. When the number of people in the room N = 0, and the indoor CO2 concentration is less than the CO2 compensation point concentration M2, the fresh air system operates at the minimum air volume Q. min During operation, when the indoor CO2 concentration exceeds the CO2 compensation point concentration M2, the fresh air system enters standby mode Q=0. The indoor CO2 concentration M during the recording period is recorded. τ Given the corresponding time τ and the photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD, the net photosynthetic rate E of all plants in the exhibition hall was calculated. plant ,Right now:

[0079]

[0080] Step B2. In E plant The photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD corresponding to the value close to 0 (transitioning from positive to negative, or from negative to positive) is the system's preset minimum light intensity PFD1.

[0081] Step B3. When the photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD ≤ PFD1, take the average value at each time point as the rate E of CO2 release by all indoor plants at night or under low light conditions. plant,night ;

[0087]

[0088] Step C2. Calculate the second fresh air volume Q2 required for plant photosynthesis.

[0089]

[0090] Step C3. Dynamically adjust the fresh air volume according to formula (7) or (8). The specific adjustment method is as follows:

[0091] Step C3.1. When PFD ≤ PFD1,

[0092] Step C3.1.1. If no one is in the room, i.e. N=0, the fresh air unit is in standby mode;

[0093] Step C3.1.2. If there are people indoors, i.e., N>0, when the indoor CO2 concentration is greater than or equal to the design target concentration M1, calculate the fresh air volume of the fresh air unit according to the first fresh air volume Q1 in formula (7); if the calculated air volume is lower than the minimum fresh air volume Q of the system... min If the calculated air volume exceeds the system's maximum fresh air volume Q, then the system will operate at the minimum fresh air volume. max If the calculated air volume exceeds a certain value of the system's maximum design fresh air volume, an alarm message will be sent to the management personnel to remind the indoor personnel that the limit has been exceeded; if the indoor CO2 concentration is lower than the design target concentration M1 within a certain period of time, the fresh air system will be in standby mode.

[0094] Step C3.2 When the photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD > PFD1,

[0095] Step C3.2.1 If there is no one in the room, i.e. N=0, when the indoor CO2 concentration is less than the CO2 compensation point M2, calculate the air volume according to the second fresh air volume in formula (8);

[0096] Step C3.2.2 If there are people indoors, i.e., N>0, and the indoor CO2 concentration is greater than or equal to the design target concentration M1, set at 1000ppm, calculate the fresh air volume of the fresh air unit according to formula (7). If the calculated air volume exceeds the maximum design fresh air volume of the system, then the maximum air volume Q shall be used. maxThe system operates; simultaneously, when the calculated air volume exceeds a certain value of the system's maximum design fresh air volume, such as 20%, an alarm message is sent to the management personnel to remind the indoor personnel that the limit has been exceeded; when the indoor CO2 concentration is lower than the design target concentration M1 within a certain period of time, the fresh air system is in standby mode.

[0097] Step D. Combine the real-time fresh air volume of the fresh air system to perform feedback-based minimum light intensity adjustment, back calculation of plant net photosynthetic rate and respiration rate, and dynamic adjustment of fresh air volume, as detailed below:

[0102] Step D4. When PFD ≤ PFD1, take the median value at each time point as the rate E of CO2 release by all indoor plants at night or under low light conditions. plant,night ;

[0103] Step D5. According to the revised PFD1, E plant,day E plant,night Continue with step C to dynamically adjust the fresh air volume.

[0104] As described above, this invention proposes a feedback-based fresh air system regulation method based on the coupling effect of plant and human metabolism. It comprehensively regulates the system according to indoor CO2 concentration, photosynthetically active radiation intensity, and number of people, filling the gap in existing research on fresh air system regulation strategies for buildings such as plant exhibition halls and flower expos.

[0105] In a specific embodiment, the exhibition hall has an area of ​​500m². 2The plant is 4.5m tall. The indoor exhibit features flowering shrubs, covering 30% of the plant's area. Statistics show that the net photosynthetic rate of these shrubs during the day is approximately 1g / (m²). 2 The nighttime dark respiration rate is approximately 0.25 g / (m³). 2 The leaf area is approximately 3.9, and the CO2 compensation point is 50 ppm. The exhibition hall can accommodate 150 people at peak times.

[0106] This invention relates to a fresh air system based on the coupling effect of plant and human metabolism. The system includes an indoor sensor cluster, an indoor occupant number monitoring sensor, an analysis and control unit, a fresh air device, a dehumidification device, and a spray humidification device.

It connects and analyzes data from the indoor sensor cluster and the indoor occupant number monitoring sensor, and connects and controls the fresh air device, dehumidification device, and spray humidification device.

[0107] This invention relates to a fresh air system regulation process based on the coupling of plant and human metabolism (see...). Figure 2 (As shown).

[0113] Step B. Commissioning phase: The fresh air system is commissioned according to the minimum design fresh air volume Q2. The commissioning phase usually lasts 1 to 2 days.

[0114] Step B1, indoor occupancy N = 0. When the indoor CO2 concentration is less than the CO2 compensation point concentration M2, the fresh air system operates at the minimum airflow Q. min During operation, the fresh air system enters standby mode when the indoor CO2 concentration exceeds the CO2 compensation point concentration M2. The indoor CO2 concentration M during the recording period is recorded. τ Given the corresponding time τ and the photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD, the net photosynthetic rate E of all plants in the exhibition hall is calculated. plant,τ ,

[0116] The CO2 concentration trend during the commissioning phase of the example is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, assuming the initial indoor CO2 concentration is equal to the outdoor CO2 concentration at 400 ppm, and the time step Δτ is 1 minute, the E values ​​calculated at different times in the example are... plant The values ​​are shown in Table 2;

[0117] Table 2 Relationship between plant net photosynthetic rate and photosynthetically active radiation intensity and indoor CO2 concentration.

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] Step B2. In E plant The photosynthetically active radiation intensity (PFD) approaching 0 (transitioning from positive to negative, or from negative to positive) is the system's preset minimum light intensity, PFD1. In this example, PFD = 0 μmol / (m 2 ·s);

[0121] Step B3. When the photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD ≤ PFD1, take the median value at each time point as the rate E of CO2 release by all indoor plants at night or under low light conditions. plant,night ;

[0122] In this example, the nighttime respiration rate of the plant is E. plant,night =0.08m 3 / h;

[0123] Step B4: When PFD > PFD1, adjust multiple sets of data within one day, and calculate the E under different photosynthetically active radiation intensities (PFD) and CO2 concentrations indoors using a bivariate quadratic polynomial fitting method. plant,day ,

[0124]

[0125] In the examples, the E of the exhibition hall under different photosynthetically active radiation intensities (PFD) and CO2 concentrations was calculated. plant ,Right now:

[0126] E plant = -0.30035 + 0.00194 × M - 2.53308 × 10 -5 ×PFD-3.98261×10 -6 ×M 2 -2.70287×10 -8 ×PFD 2 -6.5886×10 -7×M×PFD(m 3 / h) (R 2 =0.98762)

[0127] This value better reflects the actual condition of the plants in the exhibition hall and can be used to correct the system's operating airflow and guide the fresh air control during the operation period.

[0128] Step C. Formal Operation Phase: Based on the preset minimum light intensity and the corrected net photosynthetic rate of the plant, E... plant,day Respiratory rate E plant,night The fresh air volume is dynamically adjusted based on fluctuations in the number of personnel (N).

[0129] Step C1. Calculate the first fresh air volume Q1 to meet the indoor target CO2 concentration and occupancy density based on human health and plant net photosynthetic rate.

[0130]

[0131] In the formula, M1 is the target design CO2 concentration indoors; M out E represents the CO2 concentration of the fresh air. plant The result obtained from fitting in step B is:

[0132] E plant,night =0.08m 3 / h,

[0133] E plant,day = -0.30035 + 0.00194 × M - 2.53308 × 10 -5 ×PFD-3.98261×10 -6 ×M 2 -

[0134] 2.70287×10 -8 ×PFD 2 -6.5886×10 -7 ×M×PFD(m 3 / h);

[0135] Step C2. To meet the second fresh air volume Q2 required for plant photosynthesis,

[0136]

[0137] Step C3. Dynamically adjust the fresh air volume according to the first fresh air volume Q1 defined in step C1 or the minimum fresh air volume Q2 defined in step C2. The specific adjustment method is as follows:

[0138] Step C3.1. When PFD ≤ PFD1,

[0139] Step C3.1.1. If no one is in the room, i.e. N=0, the fresh air unit is in standby mode;

[0140] Step C3.1.2. If there are people indoors, i.e., N>0, and the indoor CO2 concentration is greater than or equal to the design target concentration M1, calculate the fresh air volume of the air purifier based on the first fresh air volume Q1; if the calculated air volume is lower than the system's minimum fresh air volume Q... min If the calculated air volume exceeds the system's maximum fresh air volume Q, then the system will operate at the minimum fresh air volume. max If the calculated air volume exceeds a certain value of the system's maximum design fresh air volume, an alarm message will be sent to the management personnel to remind the indoor personnel that the limit has been exceeded; if the indoor CO2 concentration is lower than the design target concentration M1 within a certain period of time, the fresh air system will be in standby mode.

[0141] Step C3.2. When the photosynthetically active radiation intensity PFD > PFD1,

[0142] Step C3.2.1. If there is no one in the room, i.e. N=0, when the indoor CO2 concentration is less than the CO2 compensation point M2, the example takes 100ppm, and the air volume is calculated according to the second fresh air volume;

[0143] like Figure 4 As shown, the initial indoor CO2 concentration is equal to the outdoor concentration, which is 400 ppm. With the increase of photosynthetically active radiation (PFD), plant photosynthesis intensifies, and CO2 absorption begins, gradually decreasing the indoor CO2 concentration. When it falls below the CO2 compensation point (<100 ppm), the fresh air system is turned on (10:00-18:00). The required fresh air volume at this time is: After sunset or when the exhibition hall lights are turned off, the plants' respiration rate exceeds their photosynthetic rate. At this time, the fresh air system can be turned off (19:00-05:00 the next day); repeat the same airflow adjustment measures the next day.

[0144] Step C3.2.2 If there are people indoors, i.e., N>0, and the indoor CO2 concentration is greater than or equal to the design target concentration M1, set at 1000ppm, calculate the fresh air volume of the fresh air unit according to formula (7). If the calculated air volume exceeds the maximum design fresh air volume of the system, then the maximum air volume Q shall be used. max The system operates; simultaneously, when the calculated air volume exceeds a certain value of the system's maximum design fresh air volume, such as 20%, an alarm message is sent to the management personnel to remind the indoor personnel that the limit has been exceeded; when the indoor CO2 concentration is lower than the design target concentration M1 within a certain period of time, the fresh air system is in standby mode.

[0145] As attached Figure 5 As shown, as people enter the venue, the indoor CO2 concentration gradually increases. When it reaches the design target concentration (1000 ppm in this example), the fresh air volume is adjusted according to the formula... Calculate and run (10:00-17:00). After closing, the number of people indoors is reduced to zero. At this time, the air volume operation is performed according to the logic of step C3.2.2 (18:00-6:00 the next day). Repeat the same air volume adjustment measures on the second day.

[0146] Step D. Combine the real-time fresh air volume of the fresh air system to perform feedback-based minimum light intensity adjustment, back calculation of plant net photosynthetic rate and respiration rate, and dynamic adjustment of fresh air volume, as detailed below:

[0147] Step D1. Record the fresh air volume Q at time τ during the actual operation of the fresh air unit in real time. τ Photosynthetically Active Radiation Intensity (PFD) τ CO2 concentration M τ , number of people N τ Dynamic correction of plant net photosynthetic rate E by back-calculation using feedforward method. plant,τ ,Right now:

[0148]

[0149] Step D2. Place E plant,τ The PFD value corresponding to a moment close to 0 is set as system PFD1;

[0150] Step D3. When PFD > PFD1, the net photosynthetic rate of the plant is denoted as E. plant,day According to E at each time point plant,day PFD and CO2 concentrations were fitted to determine the E suitable for indoor use. plant,day =f(PFD, M) relation, based on the calculated E plant,day Correction value, continue to dynamically adjust the fresh air volume;

[0151] Step D4. When PFD ≤ PFD1, take the median value at each time point as the rate E of CO2 release by all indoor plants at night or under low light conditions. plant,night ;

[0152] Step D5. According to the revised PFD1, E plant,day E plant,night Continue with step C to dynamically adjust the fresh air volume.

[0153] Under this operating mode, even if the number of plants in the exhibition hall increases or decreases, the critical photosynthetically active radiation intensity (PFD1) and net photosynthetic rate (E) that conform to the overall metabolic characteristics of the indoor plants can be obtained through feedback calculations. plant Even so, the system can still operate reliably.
