Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a self-regulating air volume balance control method for air conditioning units, belonging to the field of air conditioning control technology. Background Technology

[0002] More and more variable frequency direct expansion units are being widely used in hospitals, biological plants and laboratories. Because the cost is lower than that of multi-split air conditioners, most of them are used in multi-split applications. Based on the unit's single-split design, there are instances where rooms closer to the indoor unit experience excessive airflow due to high static pressure, while rooms farther from the indoor unit experience insufficient airflow due to low static pressure. The large difference in airflow between different rooms often leads to user complaints.

However, this approach has several drawbacks. Firstly, manual detection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and lacks automation. Secondly, the large number of rooms often leads to a mismatch between the airflow supplied by the unit (supply side) and the actual airflow supplied by the user (demand side), making it impossible to achieve self-balancing control between the unit's airflow and the actual room airflow.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a self-regulating air volume balancing air conditioning unit according to the present invention.

[0037] The attached diagram is labeled as follows: 1-Filter section; 2-Direct expansion section; 3-Electric heating section; 4-Electric humidification section; 5-EC blower; 61-Wind speed sensor; 62-Intelligent air valve. Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention more clearly, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the self-regulating air volume balancing air conditioning unit of the present invention includes a filter section 1, a direct expansion section 2, an electric heating section 3, an electric humidification section 4, and an EC blower 5, which are used to provide air volume to four rooms. Each room's air duct is equipped with a wind speed sensor 61 and an intelligent air valve 62, wherein the intelligent air valve 62 includes a pressure detection function.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a self-regulating air volume balance control method for air conditioning units, comprising the following steps:

[0041] Step 1: Before detecting the unit's fan speed, ensure the fan has been running for more than 30 seconds. After the fan has been running for a period of time, detect the fan speed. Multiply the fan speed by the cross-sectional area of ​​the unit's air duct to calculate the actual unit air volume Q. The fan motor is a DC motor, and air volume control can be achieved by changing its speed. The specific speed settings of the fan motor correspond to the speeds shown in Table 1. Additionally, this application requires obtaining the initial unit energy requirement Q. out The unit requires Q. out The final fan speed can be determined by adjusting the unit's energy requirement Q. out To regulate the air volume of the unit.

[0042] Table 1 Fan Speed ​​Corresponding to Fan Gear

[0043] 1 500 2 600 3 700 4 800 5 900 6 1000 7 1100 8 1200 9 1300 10 1400 11 1500 12 1600

[0044] Step two: Compare the actual unit air volume Q with the preset air volume range. The low air volume range is specifically greater than 1000m³ / h. 3 / h and less than or equal to 1300m 3 / h, specifically the range of medium wind volume is greater than 1300m 3 / h and less than or equal to 1600m 3 / h. The high air volume range specifically refers to greater than 1600m³. 3 / h. If the actual unit airflow Q is in the low airflow range, obtain the actual air outlet velocity parameters for each room, calculate the air velocity change value ΔV for each room, and then proceed to step three. If the actual unit airflow Q is in the medium airflow range, obtain the actual air outlet velocity parameters for each room, and then proceed to step six. Finally, if the actual unit airflow Q is in the high airflow range, directly report the fan overload protection and stop the fan operation.

[0045] Step 3: Compare the wind speed change value ΔV with the wind speed change setting value, which is specifically 1 m / s. The wind speed change value ΔV for each room is calculated as follows: ΔV = V 实时 -V 设定 If the wind speed change value ΔV is not lower than the wind speed change setting value, then calculate the wind speed change trend X for each room. i Then proceed to step four, where the wind speed change trend X i = △V2 - △V1, where △V2 represents the wind speed change in the current minute, and △V1 represents the wind speed change in the previous minute. If the wind speed change △V is higher than the set wind speed change value, then the static pressure change trend Y of each room is calculated. j Proceed to step five, where the static pressure change trend Y i = △P2-△P1, where △P2 represents the static pressure change value in the current 1 minute and △P1 represents the static pressure change value in the previous 1 minute. The static pressure value is measured by the pressure sensor built into the intelligent air valve 6262.

[0046] Step 4, based on the wind speed change trend X i The size control adjusts the size of the smart air valve 62 corresponding to the room. Airflow change trend X i Wind speed variation trend X when ≤0.5m / s i If the airflow is too low, adjust the smart damper 62 in the corresponding room by 10%; 0.5m / s < wind speed change trend X i Wind speed variation trend X when <1m / s i Moderate, no adjustment required for the corresponding room's smart air valve 62; airflow change trend X i Wind speed variation trend X when ≥1m / s i If the value is too high, adjust the smart air valve 62 in the corresponding room to a 10% lower value.

[0047] Step 5, based on the static pressure change trend Y j The size control adjusts the size of the smart air valve 62 corresponding to the room. Static pressure change trend Y j When ≤100Pa, the static pressure change trend Y j If the pressure is relatively low, adjust the smart air valve 62 in the corresponding room by 10%; 100Pa < static pressure change trend Y j When the pressure is <300Pa, the smart air valve 62 for the corresponding room is not adjusted; static pressure change trend Y j When ≥300Pa, the static pressure change trend Y j If the value is too high, adjust the smart air valve 62 in the corresponding room to a 10% lower value.

[0048] Step 6: Multiply the room duct cross-section size by the actual air outlet velocity to obtain the room air volume. Add the air volumes of all rooms to obtain the unit air volume. Based on the unit air volume, obtain the unit air volume change trend Z: air volume change trend Z = ΔQ2 - ΔQ1, where ΔQ2 represents the air volume change value in the current 1 minute, and ΔQ1 represents the air volume change value in the previous 1 minute. Then, based on the magnitude of the unit air volume change trend Z, adjust the unit energy demand Q. out Air volume output Q out The corresponding output levels are shown in Table 2. Specifically, the air volume variation trend of the unit is Z≤100m³. 3 / h, the control unit needs Q out Increase by 20%; 100m 3 / h < Unit air supply volume variation trend Z < 200m 3 / h, the control unit needs Q out Increase by 10%; Unit air supply volume change trend Z≥200m 3 / h, the control unit needs Q out Increase by 5%.

[0053] This invention discloses a self-regulating airflow balance control method. It utilizes the actual wind speed changes, static pressure changes, and actual unit airflow in different rooms as detection variables. Through a practical algorithm, it detects whether the airflow in different rooms meets the requirements and adjusts the air valves or increases the airflow to balance the airflow in each room. This solves the problem of excessive / insufficient airflow in different areas, improving user comfort. Furthermore, this invention addresses the mismatch between the unit's (supply side) airflow and the actual user's (demand side) airflow caused by too many rooms. It establishes a dynamic balance relationship between the unit's (supply side) airflow and the actual user's (demand side) airflow, providing a new solution for self-balancing control of the unit's supply side and the actual user side.
