Radiant air conditioning systems, designed for 365 days a year with human health and comfort as the primary goal, integrate cooling, heating, fresh air, purification, humidification, dehumidification, domestic hot and cold water, indoor environmental monitoring, equipment operation monitoring, and intelligent control functions. They provide constant temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels, operating without wind, air, or noise, comprehensively addressing people's needs for temperature, humidity, oxygen content, and cleanliness in their living environment. They are currently the ideal solution for a healthy and comfortable indoor environment and are gaining increasing popularity.

[0003] With the increasing demand for energy conservation and emission reduction, green energy will account for an increasingly larger proportion of the power system. The power supply is facing a more serious situation of power grid imbalance and large peak-valley difference. The load rate is low at night, while the power supply is severely insufficient during the peak period of daytime. "Unloading" electricity from the peak to the off-peak period is a current research hotspot.

[0037] The optional embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Conventional radiant air conditioning systems consist of a chiller / heat source unit, a distribution system, a dehumidification and fresh air system, and an intelligent control system. There are two types: combined cooling and heating (CCHP) and independent air-water systems. In the CCHP type, the air and water systems share a single chiller / heat source. During cooling periods, the air system provides cooling and dehumidification, while during heating periods, the floor radiant system provides heating. The distribution system consists of water pumps and terminal radiant panels. (Details are omitted as they are not relevant to the main text.) Figure 1 As shown.

[0040] An independent feng shui system has separate cooling sources for the air and water systems, allowing them to operate simultaneously during either cooling or heating seasons. This provides greater flexibility in adjusting system comfort. Specifically, for example... Figure 2 As shown.

[0041] Both the air system and the water system in this invention provide cooling capacity. Figure 3 This diagram illustrates one possible structural design of the radiant air conditioning system, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the radiant air conditioning system includes:

[0042] Radiant floor, the radiant floor includes radiant layer coil 1 and energy storage layer coil 2, wherein radiant layer coil 1 is located on the upper layer of energy storage layer coil 2. Radiant layer coil 1 is used to provide cooling capacity to the room when there is load demand. Energy storage layer coil 2 is used to store cold during the off-peak hours of electricity price and when there is no load demand, and to provide cooling capacity to radiant layer coil 1 during the peak hours of electricity price and when there is load demand.

[0043] In the above embodiments, a layered energy storage floor radiant air conditioning system is provided, which divides the radiant floor into two layers. When there is a load demand in the room, the cooling energy is radiated into the room through the upper radiant layer coil. When there is no load in the room and the electricity price is in a low period, the cooling energy is stored through the lower energy storage layer coil. During the peak electricity price period and when there is a load demand, the cooling energy is provided to the radiant layer coil, thereby realizing the "unloading" of electricity from the peak period to the low period and reducing the operating cost of the radiant air conditioning system.

[0044] Preferably, the radiant layer coil 1 and the energy storage layer coil 2 are separated by thermal insulation material. The insulation between the upper and lower layers can avoid the risk of condensation on the ground caused by cold storage in the cooling mode, and effectively improve the comfort of the floor.

[0045] The radiant air conditioning system in this invention is an air conditioning system that combines an energy storage module with an air pump 9 and a liquid pump 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a liquid pump 3, one end of which is connected to the refrigerant outlet of the energy storage layer coil 2, and the other end of which is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the radiation layer coil 1 through a first electronic expansion valve 4, for compressing the refrigerant at the refrigerant outlet of the energy storage layer coil 2 and then throttling it through the electronic expansion valve before entering the radiation layer coil 1; a first electronic expansion valve 4, located on the pipeline between the liquid pump 3 and the radiation layer coil 1; and a first control valve 5, located on the pipeline between the energy storage layer coil 2 and the liquid pump 3, for controlling the opening and closing of the pipeline between the energy storage layer coil 2 and the liquid pump 3.

[0046] Radiant floor cooling systems use high-temperature water, typically 18-20°C. During the day, the system releases stored cooling energy from its energy storage layer and supplies cooling to the room, handling most of the sensible heat load and lowering the indoor temperature.

[0047] After passing through the energy storage coil 2, the gaseous refrigerant cools down and becomes liquid refrigerant. After passing through the first control valve and being compressed by the liquid pump 3, it enters the radiation layer coil 1 through the first electronic expansion valve, absorbs heat, and becomes gaseous refrigerant, completing one refrigeration cycle.

[0048] The terminal air system 6 in this invention is used to deliver fresh air to the room and provide cool air to supplement the required cooling capacity of the room.

[0049] Specifically, the terminal air system 6 includes: a fresh air unit for supplying fresh air to the room, the fresh air unit including at least a fresh air duct, a fresh air valve, a supply air valve, a return air valve and a terminal fan; and an air-cooling unit for providing cool air to the room to supplement the required cooling capacity, the air-cooling unit including at least a supply air heat exchanger, an outdoor condenser 7, a second electronic expansion valve 8 and an air pump 9. The outdoor condenser 7 is connected to the supply air heat exchanger through the second electronic expansion valve 8 to provide cool air to the room, and then connected to the outdoor condenser 7 through the air pump 9 to form a refrigerant circulation loop.

[0050] Terminal air systems fulfill three functions: ① introducing outdoor fresh air to meet indoor fresh air volume requirements; ② handling indoor humidity load; ③ compensating for insufficient radiant cooling capacity of the radiant system and handling the remaining sensible heat load indoors. Therefore, terminal air systems need to handle all latent heat and sensible heat loads of outdoor fresh air, while also bearing all latent heat loads and part of the sensible heat load indoors, ensuring indoor air temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration, and avoiding condensation and excessively high CO2 concentrations.

[0051] Furthermore, the refrigerant inlet of the energy storage coil 2 is also connected to the condenser outlet of the outdoor condenser 7 via a third electronic expansion valve, and the refrigerant outlet of the energy storage coil 2 is also connected to the refrigerant inlet of the air pump 9, for utilizing the electricity price difference to store cold during off-peak electricity periods. A second control valve 11, located on the pipeline between the condenser outlet of the outdoor condenser 7 and the third electronic expansion valve, is used to control the on / off state of the pipeline between the energy storage coil 2 and the liquid pump 3; a first regulating valve, located on the pipeline between the third electronic expansion valve and the energy storage coil 2, is used to regulate the cooling capacity of the energy storage coil 2. A third control valve 13 is also included, located on the pipeline between the refrigerant outlet of the energy storage coil 2 and the air pump 9.

[0052] The gaseous refrigerant is compressed into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas by the gas pump and enters the outdoor condenser for heat exchange. After the refrigerant condenses into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant, it passes through the second control valve, the third electronic expansion valve for throttling, and the first regulating valve in sequence before entering the energy storage layer coil to absorb heat and store the cooling capacity in the energy storage layer coil. The refrigerant is then drawn into the compressor through the valve, and the cycle continues. The cooling fan runs synchronously during system operation.

[0053] The energy storage coil 2 also exchanges heat with the outdoor condenser 7, using the stored cooling capacity to lower the condensing temperature of the outdoor condenser 7 and improve the energy efficiency of the terminal air system 6. The circulation between the energy storage coil and the outdoor condenser can be a separate loop or an improvement on an existing loop, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the outdoor condenser exchanges heat with the heat exchange tubes, which are connected to the energy storage layer coil, the first control valve, the liquid pump, and the third electronic expansion valve, forming a circulation loop through the second regulating valve.

[0054] The layered phase change energy storage system of this invention solves the problem of asynchronous operation between the system's off-peak electricity price period and the actual demand load period. By utilizing the price difference between peak, flat, and off-peak electricity periods, it stores energy during the off-peak period, uses the low electricity price during the off-peak period for energy storage, and releases energy during the load period, thus achieving cost-effective operation of the system. For operating conditions that require dehumidification and supplemental cooling of the air system and cooling of the floor radiant system, a cooling system combining air pumps and liquid pumps is proposed to achieve high-quality and low-energy-consumption operation of the system.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] Based on the radiant air conditioning system provided in Embodiment 1 above, a preferred embodiment 2 of the present invention further provides a radiant air conditioning system control method, specifically, Figure 4 An optional flowchart of the method is shown, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps S402-S406:

[0057] S402: Obtain the current operating period of the radiant air conditioning system and determine whether there is a load demand;

[0058] S404: When the current operating period is a low electricity price period and there is no load demand, control the energy storage layer coil of the radiant floor to store cold;

[0059] S406: When the current operating period is during a peak electricity price period and there is load demand, the energy storage layer coil is used to provide cooling capacity to the radiant layer coil.

[0060] In the above embodiments, a layered energy storage floor radiant air conditioning system is provided, which divides the radiant floor into two layers. When there is a load demand in the room, the cooling energy is radiated into the room through the upper radiant layer coil. When there is no load in the room and the electricity price is in a low period, the cooling energy is stored through the lower energy storage layer coil. During the peak electricity price period and when there is a load demand, the cooling energy is provided to the radiant layer coil, thereby realizing the "unloading" of electricity from the peak period to the low period and reducing the operating cost of the radiant air conditioning system.

[0061] Based on the radiant air conditioning system in Embodiment 1 above, controlling the energy storage layer coil of the radiant floor to store cold includes: controlling the opening of the third electronic expansion valve, the second control valve and the first regulating valve; using the energy storage layer coil to provide cooling capacity to the radiant layer coil includes: controlling the opening of the first electronic expansion valve and the first control valve.

[0062] The gaseous refrigerant is compressed into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas by the gas pump and enters the outdoor condenser for heat exchange. After the refrigerant condenses into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant, it passes through the second control valve, the third electronic expansion valve for throttling, and the first regulating valve in sequence before entering the energy storage layer coil to absorb heat and store the cooling capacity in the energy storage layer coil. The refrigerant is then drawn into the compressor through the valve, and the cycle continues. The cooling fan runs synchronously during system operation.

[0063] The above control method also includes: detecting environmental parameters; wherein the environmental parameters include at least indoor dew point temperature and floor surface temperature; and controlling the operation of the terminal ventilation system based on the environmental parameters.

[0064] Specifically, controlling the operation of the terminal ventilation system based on environmental parameters includes: determining the priority of the control parameters for the terminal ventilation system; and controlling the operation of the terminal ventilation system according to the priority of the control parameters and the environmental parameters. The priority of the control parameters, from highest to lowest, is: indoor dew point temperature, indoor temperature, and indoor fresh air volume. Controlling the operation of the terminal ventilation system according to the priority of the control parameters and the environmental parameters includes:

[0065] When the control parameter is the indoor dew point temperature, the floor surface temperature is detected. When the indoor dew point temperature is close to the floor surface temperature, the supply air valve and return air valve are opened, and the terminal fan is controlled to run at a low speed.

[0066] When the control parameter is the indoor temperature, the floor surface temperature is detected. When the indoor dew point temperature is greater than the floor surface temperature, the supply air valve and return air valve are opened, and the speed of the terminal fan is controlled according to the indoor temperature.

[0067] When the control parameter is the indoor fresh air volume, the floor surface temperature is detected. When the indoor dew point temperature is greater than the floor surface temperature but less than the set temperature, the fresh air valve is opened, and the speed of the terminal fan is controlled according to the gas concentration in the air, such as CO2 concentration.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment 2 of the present invention, a radiant air conditioning system control device is also provided, specifically... Figure 5 An alternative structural block diagram of the device is shown, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the device includes:

[0070] Judgment module: Determines whether the program conditions are met, calculates system-set parameters, and if the conditions are met, issues the corresponding control command to the adjustment module;

[0071] Adjustment module: Based on the instructions from the judgment module, it outputs control commands to the lower control devices.

[0072] Figure 6 This diagram illustrates one possible configuration of the collection module and its settings, such as... Figure 6 As shown, this collection module collects data on indoor load time periods, peak and off-peak electricity prices, surface temperature of the radiation layer, temperature of the energy storage layer, and outdoor temperature and humidity.

[0073] Figure 7 This diagram illustrates one possible connection between the adjustment module and the controlled component, such as... Figure 7 As shown, this adjustment module can automatically switch between the system's air pump, liquid pump, and valves, achieving automated system adjustment and reducing labor costs.

[0074] The specific manner in which the device performs operations in the above embodiments has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated here.
