Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically relating to a control method, device, air conditioning system, and storage medium for an air conditioning system, and particularly to a control method, device, air conditioning system, and storage medium for decoupling an electronic expansion valve in an air conditioning system. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic expansion valves are widely used in heat pump air conditioning systems due to their wide adjustment range, high adjustment accuracy, and fast response speed. Existing electronic expansion valve control strategies in heat pump air conditioning systems typically rely on feedback adjustment based on compressor suction or exhaust superheat. This method is mainly suitable for conventional single-stage systems with a single electronic expansion valve. When multiple electronic expansion valves are coupled in the system, conventional control strategies become inapplicable.
