Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning system control technology, and in particular to a method, device, terminal equipment and medium for air volume adjustment in an air conditioning system. Background Technology
[0002] Variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems install several VAV terminal units in each room or air-conditioned zone. These terminals adjust the airflow by changing the opening of the VAV terminal dampers based on the indoor temperature and setpoint, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning unit's fan. VAV air conditioning systems offer advantages such as good indoor air quality, significant energy savings under partial load, and flexible zone control, and are now widely used.
[0003] In the actual operation of variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems, the required air volume for each room or air-conditioned area is often different. Currently, most VAV terminal dampers are controlled independently. When calculating the required air volume, only the demand of the room or air-conditioned area is considered, without taking into account the air volume demand of other rooms or air-conditioned areas. There is a lack of linkage between the VAV air conditioning units in each room. When controlling which dampers in the room that needs to change the required air volume, the dampers in other rooms are not adjusted accordingly. This can easily lead to uneven air volume distribution in the VAV air conditioning system, and the air volume of each room or air-conditioned area does not match the actual required air volume, resulting in inaccurate air volume scheduling.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air volume allocation strategy for air conditioning systems to solve the problem of inaccurate air volume scheduling in current air conditioning systems. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Step 103: Based on the initial air volume and required air volume of each air supply room, identify a number of rooms to be variable air volume among the air supply rooms.
[0025] In this embodiment, the step of identifying several rooms to be variable air volume from among several air supply rooms based on the initial air supply volume and the required air supply volume of each air supply room includes: Determine whether the initial air supply volume and the required air supply volume are consistent for each of the aforementioned air supply rooms; If the initial air volume and the required air volume of the air supply room are the same, then the air supply room corresponding to the initial air volume and the required air volume are not the room to be changed. If the initial air volume and the required air volume of the air supply room are inconsistent, the air supply room corresponding to the inconsistency between the initial air volume and the required air volume is designated as the room to be configured for variable air volume.
[0026] Step 104: Based on the initial air volume and required air volume of each room to be changed, as well as the initial air volume and first air valve opening of each air supply room, calculate the second air valve opening of each air supply room, generate an air valve control command based on the second air valve opening, and control each air supply room to adjust from the first air valve opening to the second air valve opening based on the air valve control command.
[0027] In this embodiment, calculating the second air valve opening of each air supply room based on the initial air supply volume and required air supply volume of each room to be configured for variable air volume, and the initial air supply volume and first air valve opening of each air supply room, includes: Repeat the calculation steps for the single variable air volume room damper until all rooms to be changed air volume have been completed and then stop. Output the process values of the opening degree of several single variable air volume room dampers corresponding to each air supply room, and calculate the second damper opening degree of each air supply room based on the process values of the opening degree of several single variable air volume room dampers. The calculation steps for the single variable air volume room damper include: Select one room from the several rooms to be changed air volume that have not performed the single variable air volume room damper calculation step as the target room to be changed air volume. Based on the initial air volume and first air valve opening of each air supply room, and the required air volume of the target variable air volume room, the process value of the single variable air volume room air valve opening of each air supply room is calculated after the target variable air volume room reaches the required air volume.
[0028] In this embodiment, the air supply rooms include: a first air supply room, a second air supply room, a third air supply room, and a fourth air supply room; the opening degree of the single variable air volume room damper includes: the opening degree of the first single variable air volume room damper, the opening degree of the second single variable air volume room damper, the opening degree of the third single variable air volume room damper, and the opening degree of the fourth single variable air volume room damper; the process of calculating the single variable air volume room damper opening degree of each air supply room after the target single variable air volume room reaches the required air supply volume, based on the initial air supply volume and the first damper opening degree of each air supply room, and the required air supply volume of the target single variable air volume room, includes: Determine the positional relationship between each of the air supply rooms and the target room to be adjusted in terms of air volume; If the first air supply room is not the target variable air volume room and is located closest to the air supply unit, then based on the initial air supply volume and the opening of the first damper in the first air supply room, and the required air supply volume of the target variable air volume room, the preset first fixed air volume damper calculation formula is substituted to calculate the opening of the first single variable air volume room damper in the first air supply room; wherein, the specific calculation formula for the first fixed air volume damper is: In the formula, The opening degree of the first variable air volume room damper in the first air supply room closest to the air supply unit. This represents the initial total air volume. The increase in air volume caused by the air supply volume required by the room with the target variable air volume. The opening degree of the first air valve in the air supply room closest to the air supply unit; If the second air supply room is not the target variable air volume room, not the location closest to the air supply unit, and is closer to the air supply unit than the target variable air volume room, then based on the initial air supply volume of the second air supply room, the opening of the first damper, and the required air supply volume of the target variable air volume room, the preset calculation formula for the second variable air volume damper is used to calculate the opening of the second variable air volume room damper in the second air supply room; wherein, the specific calculation formula for the second variable air volume damper is as follows: In the formula, Let represent the opening degree of the second single variable air volume room damper in the p-th air supply room. Let be the initial air supply volume for the i-th air supply room. Let the opening degree of the first air valve in the p-th air supply room be denoted as ; If the third air supply room is the target variable air volume room, then based on the initial air supply volume of the third air supply room, the opening of the first damper, and the required air supply volume of the target variable air volume room, the preset variable air volume damper calculation formula is substituted to calculate the opening of the third single variable air volume room damper of the third air supply room; wherein, the variable air volume damper calculation formula is specifically as follows: In the formula, Let the opening degree of the third single variable air volume room damper in the nth air supply room be given. Let be the initial air supply volume for the i-th air supply room. Let the opening degree of the first air valve in the nth air supply room be denoted as ; If the fourth air supply room is not the target variable air volume room, is not the closest to the air supply unit, and is closer to the air supply unit than the target variable air volume room, then the opening degree of the fourth single variable air volume room damper of the fourth air supply room is the opening degree of the first damper of the fourth air supply room.
[0029] In a specific embodiment, to better illustrate the calculation method for the opening of the damper in a single variable air volume room, the following example is provided: See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This embodiment provides a variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system, assuming the number of rooms is m (m ≥ 1). When the load of one or more rooms changes, the system fully considers the impact of air volume adjustment on other rooms and quickly provides the opening degree of the VAV terminal damper for each room. The total air volume Q of the air conditioning unit can meet the room load requirements and improve environmental comfort while reducing fan energy consumption. Assuming the flow coefficient of the variable air volume valve is , No. The required air volume for each room is When air conditioning supplies air through a terminal air valve, the relationship between the airflow volume and the valve opening can be expressed as: The relationship between degrees can be expressed as: The required airflow for the first room. , No. The required air volume for each room In actual operation, variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems often require changes in air volume in multiple rooms. The adjustment process of the terminal air valves in each room is relatively independent. Therefore, the adjustment process of multiple rooms can be regarded as the sum of single adjustment processes.
[0030] When the The required air volume for each room has increased. At that time, the first The required air volume for each room varies as follows: .
[0031] The required total air volume change is as follows: Adjust the operating frequency of the air conditioning unit fan according to the required total air volume to output the required air volume.
[0032] Since the load or set temperature of other rooms remains unchanged, to avoid changes in the air volume demand of a room affecting the air volume of other rooms, it is assumed that the opening degree of all terminal dampers changes, where the first... The opening degree of the terminal air valve in each room changes as follows: .
[0033] For the Each room and its required air volume The original terminal air valve opening degree was New terminal air valve opening .
[0034] For the A room (i.e., the first air supply room as described in this invention), when hour, ; Solving ; Because it's only the first The required air volume for each room has increased. In other words, the airflow in the first room did not change, therefore: , ; Assumption For the room after the first room and before the nth room (i.e., the second air supply room as described in this invention), when hour(, ; Solving ; Similarly, we can deduce the following using mathematical induction: , ; For the The required air volume in the room (i.e., the third air supply room described in this invention) has changed. ; ; ; Solving ; For the The room following the first room (i.e., the fourth air supply room as described in this invention), the first ( ) Air volume required for each room ; ; ; Solving , ; Through the above derivation, we obtain the changes in the opening degree of the terminal air dampers in each room when the required air volume of a single room changes. Furthermore, we obtain the relationship matrix of the changes in the opening degree of the terminal air dampers: In the formula and The initial state of the terminal damper opening in the strain-direction air conditioning system and the state after the system air volume changes are respectively analyzed: , .
[0035] It is worth noting that although the damper opening change matrix is calculated based on the change in the air supply volume of a single room, the opening change matrix is still applicable to the simultaneous change in air volume of multiple rooms. This is because the damper opening represents the state when the system is in equilibrium.
[0036] In this embodiment, calculating the second air valve opening of each air supply room based on the process values of the air valve openings of the plurality of single variable air volume rooms includes: Based on the process value of the single variable air volume room damper opening of each air supply room after a target variable air volume room reaches the required air supply volume, a single variable air volume room damper opening matrix is formed. In the formula, This is the single-variable-air-volume room damper opening matrix for all supply rooms corresponding to a target variable-air-volume room. This represents the process value of the opening of the single variable air volume room damper in the first room. The process value of the opening degree of the single variable air volume room damper in the m-th room; Based on the single-variable-air-volume room damper opening matrix of all supply rooms corresponding to each target variable-air-volume room, the preset matrix multiplication formula is substituted to obtain the total damper opening matrix; wherein, each element in the total damper opening matrix represents the second damper opening of each supply room; the matrix multiplication formula is specifically as follows: In the formula, l represents the number of rooms with the target variable air volume. This represents the valve opening matrix for all supply rooms corresponding to the target room with variable air volume. This is the valve opening matrix.
[0037] For the system to appear The opening matrix after the air supply volume demand of each room changes simultaneously is obtained through calculation. Thus, it was obtained. When the air supply demand of each room changes simultaneously, the opening degree of all terminal air valves in the system is adjusted. The control module adjusts the opening degree of each terminal air valve according to the opening signal of each terminal air valve to deliver the required air supply to each terminal.
[0038] Optionally, an air volume sensor can be installed after the terminal air valve to verify the accuracy of the terminal air valve's control.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, to better illustrate the change in damper opening after a change in room air demand, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The unit for air supply volume can be cubic meters per hour or cubic meters per second; Figure 5 Given the initial air supply volume and first damper opening value for the four rooms, when the air supply volume requirement of one room in the variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system changes (e.g., the air supply volume requirement for room 3 changes from 130.92 to 250), the air supply volume requirement and terminal damper opening value for each room are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the total air volume at this time is 1119.08. When the air demand of multiple rooms in the variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system changes, such as the air demand of room 2 changing from 249.37 to 200, and the air demand of room 3 changing from 130.92 to 250, the air demand of each room and the opening of the terminal damper are as follows. Figure 7 As shown, the total air volume is 1069.70 at this time. At this point, regardless of whether the air supply demand of a single room or multiple rooms changes, the change in the damper opening is consistent with the calculation result provided by the formula in this embodiment. When the airflow in a single room (room 3) changes, it can be seen that the rooms preceding the changing room (rooms 1 and 2) all change their terminal damper openings to maintain a constant airflow. Similarly, when the airflow in multiple rooms (rooms 2 and 3) changes, it can be seen that the rooms preceding the changing room (room 1) all change their terminal damper openings to maintain a constant airflow. From the above, it can be seen that when the airflow in a supply room changes, this invention maintains the airflow in all supply rooms at a preset value by adjusting the terminal damper opening of each supply room in a coordinated manner.
[0040] See Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an air volume distribution device for an air conditioning system according to an embodiment of the present invention, including: a data acquisition module 201, a data calculation module 202, a room selection module 203, and a data control module 204; The data acquisition module is used to acquire the initial air supply volume and the opening degree of the first air valve in several air supply rooms. The data calculation module is used to collect environmental data of each air supply room in real time and calculate the required air volume of each air supply room. The room selection module is used to identify a number of rooms to be selected for variable air volume from a number of air supply rooms based on the initial air supply volume and the required air supply volume of each air supply room.

[0043] This embodiment acquires the initial air volume and the opening degree of the first air valve in multiple air supply rooms, collects environmental data of each air supply room in real time, calculates the required air volume, and identifies the room to be adjusted in terms of air volume based on the initial air volume and the required air volume of each air supply room.
