Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cooling water temperature difference regulation, in particular to a method and system for regulating the cooling water temperature difference of a refrigeration system based on energy consumption analysis. Background Art

[0002] In a traditional refrigeration system, the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water of the refrigeration unit is 5°C. According to the sensible heat formula Q = CMΔT (Q is the heat exchange amount, C is the specific heat capacity of water, M is the water flow rate, and ΔT is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet), it can be known that when Q is constant, under a constant temperature difference, the water flow rate M is also a constant value. When the size of the water flow rate is changed, the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet will also change accordingly. When the water flow rate increases, the supply-return water temperature difference will decrease; when the water flow rate decreases, the supply-return water temperature difference will increase. The two are in an inverse proportion relationship.

[0003] In a traditional refrigeration system, the flow rate selection basis of the cooling water pump is the water flow rate required to maintain a 5°C temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water when the main engine is under full load. This means that when the load rate of the main engine becomes smaller, due to the fixed water flow rate, the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet will become smaller. For the refrigeration main engine in this case, a large flow rate and a small temperature difference, a larger flow rate is beneficial to the heat exchange effect of the main engine condenser and improves the energy efficiency of the main engine. However, at the same time, a larger flow rate also brings greater energy consumption to the cooling water pump. In traditional practices, either the water flow rate of the refrigeration unit is maintained unchanged, with a large power input to the pump, and when the load of the main engine changes, the temperature difference changes to ensure a small power input to the main engine; or the temperature difference of the cooling water is maintained at 5°C, thereby reducing the input power of the pump, and at this time, the input power of the main engine will increase slightly. Neither of the two practices can efficiently and scientifically achieve the lowest input of the input power of the cooling water pump and the refrigeration main engine, that is, it is impossible to achieve the overall lowest energy consumption of the cooling water pump and the refrigeration unit. Therefore, a method for calculating and analyzing the lowest energy consumption point of the cooling water pump and the refrigeration unit in real time is invented. Summary of the Invention

[0055] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention, the following will further describe the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0056] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and thus, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] Figure 1 The flowchart of the cooling water temperature difference adjustment method for a refrigeration system based on energy consumption analysis is shown, including the following steps:

[0058] S102: Obtain the operating parameter thresholds of the target refrigeration system, and based on the operating parameter thresholds of the target refrigeration system, construct a target refrigeration simulation system;

[0059] S104: Determine the cooling water heat transfer amount of the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model, and combine with the sensible heat formula to calculate different cooling parameter combinations of the cooling water pump simulation model;

[0060] S106: In the cooling water pump simulation model with the operating frequency equal to the target operating frequency, based on different cooling parameter combinations, calculate the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference, and obtain the optimized target refrigeration system based on the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference;

[0061] S108: Operate the optimized target refrigeration system, and conduct operating stability evaluation and optimization during the operation of the optimized target refrigeration system.

[0062] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining of the operating parameter thresholds of the target refrigeration system and constructing a target refrigeration simulation system based on the operating parameter thresholds of the target refrigeration system are specifically as follows:

[0063] Obtain the refrigeration system that needs to adjust the cooling water temperature difference, label it as the target refrigeration system, and label the sub-devices in the target refrigeration system as target sub-devices;

[0064] Obtain the user manual of the target refrigeration system, and based on the user manual of the target refrigeration system, obtain the operating parameter thresholds of all target sub-devices;

[0065] Obtain system modeling and simulation software, and construct a basic model of the refrigeration simulation system in the system modeling and simulation software;

[0066] Import the operating parameter thresholds of all target sub-devices into the system modeling and simulation software for data training and analysis to obtain the operating parameter threshold boundary conditions and the initial conditions of the operating parameter thresholds of the target sub-devices;

[0067] Apply the operating parameter threshold boundary conditions and the initial conditions of the operating parameters of the target sub-device to the basic model of the refrigeration simulation system to obtain the target refrigeration simulation system;

[0068] Among them, the target refrigeration simulation system includes a cooling water pump simulation model and a refrigeration unit simulation model, and the refrigeration unit simulation model includes a condenser simulation model.

[0069] It should be noted that the sub-devices of the target refrigeration system include a cooling water pump and a refrigeration unit. Among them, the main component of the refrigeration unit is the condenser, whose function is to condense the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant to achieve the refrigeration purpose. It also includes an expansion valve and an evaporator to assist in providing the refrigeration purpose. The cooling water pump is used to circulate the cooling water, transporting the cooling water from the cooling tower or heat dissipation device to the condenser, and then sending the cooling water after absorbing heat back to the cooling tower or heat dissipation device for cooling. It is a device to maintain the efficient operation of the refrigeration system. The purpose of obtaining the operating parameter thresholds of the sub-devices is to provide data conditions for constructing the simulation model. After the system modeling and simulation software analyzes the operating parameters of the sub-devices, the operating parameter threshold boundary conditions and the initial conditions of the operating parameters can be obtained. Based on the operating parameter threshold boundary conditions and the initial conditions of the operating parameters, the target refrigeration simulation system can be constructed. The purpose of constructing the target refrigeration simulation system is to intuitively understand the parameter changes within the system and facilitate the adjustment of the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water.

[0070] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, determine the cooling water heat exchange amount of the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model, and combine it with the sensible heat formula to calculate different cooling parameter combinations of the cooling water pump simulation model, specifically:

[0071] Obtain a big data network and retrieve the sensible heat formula in the big data network;

[0072] Determine the temperature that the target refrigeration simulation system needs to output, and label it as the target temperature;

[0073] Input the target temperature into the refrigeration unit simulation model, control the refrigeration unit simulation model to analyze the target temperature, and obtain the cooling water heat exchange amount that the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model needs to output when the target refrigeration simulation system maintains the temperature equal to the target temperature, and label it as the target cooling water heat exchange amount;

[0074] Based on the user manual of the target refrigeration system, determine all the temperature differences between the supply and return water of the cooling water supported by the target refrigeration system, and label it as the selectable temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water;

[0075] Based on the sensible heat formula and combined with the target cooling water heat transfer amount, calculate the required water flow of the cooling water pump simulation model corresponding to different selectable cooling water supply and return water temperature differences, and combine the selectable cooling water supply and return water temperature differences and the corresponding required water flow of the cooling water pump simulation model, and calibrate them as cooling parameter combinations.

[0076] It should be noted that the big data network is a database storing various solutions and formulas, and the sensible heat formula can be retrieved in the big data network. The sensible heat formula is: Where Q is the heat transfer amount, C is the specific heat capacity of the cooling water, M is the water flow of the cooling water, is the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference. Among them, C is a known number. To determine Q, the target temperature needs to be determined first. The heat output required for the target refrigeration simulation system to maintain different output temperatures is different. Therefore, according to the target temperature, determine the heat transfer amount of the target cooling water, and based on the heat transfer amount of the target cooling water, confirm M and . When Q is constant, M increases, and the corresponding should decrease. On the contrary, when Q is constant and M decreases, the corresponding should increase. Therefore, when Q is constant, the relationship between M and is uniquely determined, so different cooling parameter combinations are obtained. Among them, due to the limitation of the specification parameters of the target refrigeration system, the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the required water flow of the cooling water pump simulation model corresponding to different selectable cooling water supply and return water temperature differences under the condition of the selectable cooling water supply and return water temperature difference, so as to obtain the cooling parameter combination.

[0077] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, operate and optimize the target refrigeration system, and perform operation stability evaluation and operation stability optimization on the optimized target refrigeration system during the operation of the optimized target refrigeration system, specifically:

[0078] Operate and optimize the target refrigeration system, and during the operation of the optimized target refrigeration system, judge whether the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference of the optimized target refrigeration system is constantly equal to the optimal cooling water supply and return water temperature difference;

[0079] If so, evaluate the optimized target refrigeration system as a refrigeration system with qualified stability;

[0080] If not, evaluate the optimized target refrigeration system as a refrigeration system with unqualified stability, and calibrate the operation parameters of each sub-device when the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference is not equal to the optimal cooling water supply and return water temperature difference in the unqualified stability refrigeration system as sub-device abnormal operation parameters;

[0081] Introduce the decision tree algorithm, construct a basic fault tree model based on the decision tree algorithm, convert the abnormal operation parameters of the sub-devices into a training set, and the training set contains the characteristic data of the abnormal operation parameters of the sub-devices;

[0082] Introduce the singular value decomposition algorithm to transform the characteristic data of the abnormal operation parameters of the sub-devices in the training set into a feature vector matrix, obtain the feature vector matrix, introduce the genetic algorithm, and import the feature vector matrix into the basic fault tree model. The basic fault tree model iteratively trains the feature vector matrix based on the genetic algorithm;

[0083] Preset the maximum number of iterative training times. When the number of times the basic fault tree model iteratively trains the feature vector matrix based on the genetic algorithm is equal to the maximum number of iterative training times, stop the iterative training to obtain a trained fault tree model;

[0084] Run the trained fault tree model, obtain all the abnormal positions of the sub-devices in the refrigeration system with unqualified stability, mark them as refrigeration abnormal positions, and retrieve and output the maintenance methods for the refrigeration abnormal positions in the big data network, so that the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the refrigeration system with unqualified stability is constantly equal to the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water, and obtain a refrigeration system with qualified stability.

[0085] It should be noted that after applying the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the target refrigeration system, if the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the target refrigeration system is constantly equal to the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water, it proves that there is no abnormality in the target refrigeration system and it is a refrigeration system with qualified stability. Otherwise, it is a refrigeration system with unqualified stability. It is necessary to perform abnormal traceability positioning on the refrigeration system with unqualified stability and perform maintenance on the abnormal positions. Abnormal traceability positioning can be achieved by constructing a trained fault tree model. Based on the trained fault tree model, the abnormal positions of the refrigeration system with unqualified stability can be predicted. Obtain the abnormal operation parameters of the sub-devices and convert them into a training set. In the basic fault tree model, iterate and train the data in the training set, and the singular value decomposition algorithm and the genetic algorithm should be combined during the analysis. The singular value decomposition algorithm can convert the data into feature vector data, which plays a role in reducing the computational complexity. The genetic algorithm plays a role in finding the optimal solution during the training process, and stops training when the maximum number of iterative training times is reached. The output trained fault tree model can predict the abnormal positions of the refrigeration system with unqualified stability. After obtaining the abnormal positions of the refrigeration system with unqualified stability, through the big data network, the corresponding maintenance plans for the abnormal positions of the refrigeration system with unqualified stability can be retrieved. After outputting the maintenance plan, a refrigeration system with qualified stability can be obtained. Among them, the abnormal positions may usually be problems such as the cooling water pump may not circulate water, or there may be machine failures during refrigeration, etc.

[0086] Figure 2The flowchart of the method for calculating the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water is shown, including the following steps:

[0087] S202: Adjust the operating frequency of the cooling water pump simulation model to be equal to the target operating frequency, and construct a type of cooling water pump simulation model;

[0088] S204: In the type of cooling water pump simulation model, based on different combinations of cooling parameters, calculate the input power of the type of cooling water pump simulation model under different combinations of cooling parameters;

[0089] S206: Conduct an input power analysis on the target refrigeration simulation system, and determine the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water of the target refrigeration simulation system based on the input power analysis results.

[0090] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of calculating the input power of the type of cooling water pump simulation model under different combinations of cooling parameters in the type of cooling water pump simulation model is specifically as follows:

[0091] Obtain the pump flow - head curve of the cooling water pump simulation model at different operating frequencies, and obtain the pump flow - shaft power curve of the cooling water pump simulation model at different operating frequencies;

[0092] When the cooling water pump model is equal to the type of cooling water pump model, based on the pump flow - head curve of the cooling water pump simulation model at different operating frequencies, obtain the pump flow - head curve of the type of cooling water pump model, and based on the pump flow - shaft power curve of the cooling water pump simulation model at different operating frequencies, obtain the pump flow - shaft power curve of the type of cooling water pump model;

[0093] Apply different combinations of cooling parameters in the type of cooling water pump simulation model, and combine the pump flow - head curve and the pump flow - shaft power curve of the type of cooling water pump model to obtain the head and shaft power of the type of cooling water pump model at different cooling water flows, and calculate the input power of the type of cooling water pump model under different combinations of cooling parameters based on the head and shaft power of the type of cooling water pump model at different cooling water flows.

[0094] It should be noted that the head is an important performance parameter of the cooling water pump, which refers to the maximum height that the cooling water pump can lift the liquid after overcoming the liquid flow resistance, usually expressed in meters. The shaft power refers to the actual power transmitted by the cooling water pump to the liquid, usually expressed in kilowatts. The shaft power reflects the energy transfer ability of the cooling water pump under specific working conditions. Among them, the mathematical formula of the pump flow - head curve is: Among them, H(Q) refers to the head, with the unit of meter, as a function of the flow rate Q, is the maximum head of the cooling water pump at zero flow rate. Q represents the flow rate of the cooling water, with the unit of cubic meters per second. a and b are constants fitted based on the performance data of the actual cooling water pump. The mathematical formula for the pump flow rate - shaft power curve is: Among them, represents the shaft power of the cooling water pump, represents the density of the cooling water, g represents the acceleration due to gravity, Q represents the flow rate of the cooling water, and H represents the head of the cooling water, represents the efficiency of the cooling water pump. Through the pump flow rate - head curve and the pump flow rate - shaft power curve, the head and shaft power of a type of cooling water pump model at different cooling water flow rates can be calculated. Since the head and shaft power of a type of cooling water pump model vary at different cooling water flow rates, they need to be calculated separately. When calculating the input power of a type of cooling water pump model under different cooling parameter combinations, the shaft power needs to be considered, and its calculation formula is: Among them, represents the input power of a type of cooling water pump, represents the shaft power of the cooling water pump, represents the efficiency of the drive in the cooling water pump. The efficiency of the drive in the cooling water pump can be monitored and obtained through sensors.

[0095] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when performing input power analysis on the target refrigeration simulation system and determining the optimal cooling water supply - return water temperature difference of the target refrigeration simulation system based on the input power analysis result, specifically:

[0096] Calculate the input power when the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model outputs the target cooling water heat transfer amount, and calibrate it as the refrigeration input power of the refrigeration unit simulation model;

[0097] Add the input power of the type of cooling water pump model under different cooling parameter combinations to the refrigeration input power of the refrigeration unit simulation model to obtain the corresponding total input power of the target refrigeration simulation system when applying different cooling parameter combinations;

[0098] Analyze the corresponding total input power of the target refrigeration simulation system when applying different cooling parameter combinations, select the cooling parameter combination corresponding to the minimum total input power of the target refrigeration simulation system, and calibrate it as the target cooling parameter combination;

[0099] Based on the target cooling parameter combination, obtain the cooling water supply - return water temperature difference of the target cooling parameter combination, and calibrate it as the optimal cooling water supply - return water temperature difference;

[0100] Apply the optimal cooling water supply - return water temperature difference in the target refrigeration system to obtain an optimized target refrigeration system.

[0101] It should be noted that after obtaining the input power of a type of cooling water pump model under different combinations of cooling parameters, it is necessary to combine it with the input power when the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model outputs the target cooling water heat exchange amount to obtain the total input power. Based on the curve of the refrigeration unit simulation model under different cooling water supply and return temperature differences, it can be known that the input power when the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model outputs the target cooling water heat exchange amount increases with the increase of the load of the refrigeration unit and tends to be stable after reaching the highest point. Since the heat exchange amount of the target cooling water in the refrigeration unit is determined, the input power when the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model outputs the target cooling water heat exchange amount is known. The total input power is different under different combinations of cooling parameters, and there is one combination of cooling parameters that will minimize the total input power of the target refrigeration simulation system. At this time, this combination of cooling parameters is the target cooling parameter combination. Based on the target cooling parameter combination, the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference can be obtained. When the target cooling system is under the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference, the energy consumption generated during its operation is the lowest, and it is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.

[0102] In addition, the method for adjusting the cooling water temperature difference of the refrigeration system based on energy consumption analysis further includes the following steps:

[0103] If the cooling water supply and return temperature difference of the refrigeration system with unqualified stability still does not remain constant and equal to the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference after the maintenance method for the refrigeration abnormal position is output, then the refrigeration system with unqualified stability is calibrated as an abnormally maintained refrigeration system;

[0104] Obtain a PID controller, connect the PID controller to the abnormally maintained refrigeration system, and retrieve the PID parameters corresponding to the PID controller when the cooling water supply and return temperature difference of the abnormally maintained refrigeration system remains constant and equal to the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference in the big data network, and calibrate them as the target PID parameters;

[0105] Configure the target PID parameters in the PID controller to obtain a parameter-configured PID controller, perform PID control on the abnormally maintained refrigeration system through the parameter-configured PID controller, and preset a control standard period;

[0106] Within the control standard period, determine whether the cooling water supply and return temperature difference of the abnormally maintained refrigeration system remains constant and equal to the optimal cooling water supply and return temperature difference;

[0107] If so, obtain a refrigeration system with qualified stability, and calibrate the parameter-configured PID controller as a parameter-configured stable PID controller;

[0108] If not, repeatedly adjust the integral time and derivative time in the parameter configuration PID controller to obtain the integral time and derivative time that can make the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the abnormal maintenance refrigeration system constantly equal to the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water. Calibrate them as the optimal integral time and the optimal derivative time, and adjust the integral time and derivative time to the optimal integral time and the optimal derivative time in the parameter configuration PID controller.

[0109] It should be noted that the PID controller is a control method for controlling a refrigeration system. By adjusting variables of the refrigeration system, such as the water flow rate in the cooling water pump, the rotation speed of the compressor, the opening and closing degree of the regulating valve, etc., the refrigeration system is maintained within the set parameter thresholds. The PID controller realizes the control of the refrigeration system through proportional control (P), integral control (I), and derivative control (D). After obtaining the target PID parameters, apply them to the PID controller to realize the control of the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the refrigeration system. If the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the refrigeration system is still not constantly equal to the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water, it proves that the parameters in the PID controller still need to be adjusted at this time. The adjustment method is to adjust the integral time and derivative time in the PID controller. For example, if there is an error in the refrigeration system, the integral time can be appropriately reduced. However, reducing the integral time may cause the refrigeration system to be unstable and oscillate. At this time, the derivative time needs to be appropriately increased to ensure that the oscillation amplitude of the system is reduced and the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water in the refrigeration system is constantly equal to the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water.

[0110] As Figure 3 shown, the second aspect of the present invention also provides a cooling water temperature difference adjustment system for a refrigeration system based on energy consumption analysis. The cooling water temperature difference adjustment system includes a memory 31 and a processor 32. The memory 31 stores a cooling water temperature difference adjustment method. When the cooling water temperature difference adjustment method is executed by the processor 32, the following steps are realized:

[0111] Obtain the operation parameter thresholds of the target refrigeration system, and based on the operation parameter thresholds of the target refrigeration system, construct a target refrigeration simulation system;

[0112] Determine the heat exchange amount of the cooling water in the condenser simulation model in the refrigeration unit simulation model, and combine with the sensible heat formula to calculate different cooling parameter combinations of the cooling water pump simulation model;

[0113] In the cooling water pump simulation model with the operating frequency equal to the target operating frequency, based on different cooling parameter combinations, calculate the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water, and obtain an optimized target refrigeration system based on the optimal temperature difference between the supply and return water of the cooling water;

[0114] Operate the optimized target refrigeration system, and conduct operation stability evaluation and operation stability optimization on the optimized target refrigeration system during the operation of the optimized target refrigeration system.
