Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat pump control, in particular to a heat pump system with start-up control. BACKGROUND
[0002] The heat pump system is a kind of high-efficiency, environmentally friendly energy utilization technology, and its core working principle is the reverse Carnot cycle, which converts the heat energy in the low-temperature heat source to the high-temperature environment by consuming a small amount of electric energy or other energy, to achieve the purpose of heating or refrigeration. As a kind of heat pump system, the air source heat pump system absorbs the low-temperature heat energy in the air with very little electric energy, and through the compression of the compressor, it becomes high-temperature heat energy, which is then transmitted to the place where heating or refrigeration is needed. It is favored by consumers and users, and has been widely used in hotels, schools, hospitals, saunas, beauty salons, swimming pools, laundry rooms and other places for refrigeration and hot water supply.
[0003] The existing heat pump system can operate in the interactive limit working condition of ultra-wide environmental temperature-35℃~45℃ and hot water temperature 15℃~55℃, but during the start-up stage of the system, the exhaust temperature is often too low, the exhaust temperature is too high, and the high pressure is too high, which affects the reliability of the unit.
[0004] The existing start-up control scheme mainly sets one or more low-frequency and medium-frequency running platforms during the start-up stage. After starting, the frequency of the compressor increases from low to high, and the electronic expansion valve adjusts to the low-frequency and medium-frequency running with an initial opening degree. Since the system is in a non-steady state process during the start-up stage, it is the stage with the largest system fluctuation. Adjusting with the initial opening degree cannot adapt to the changes of the system working condition parameters, resulting in insufficient exhaust overheating degree in the early stage of the start-up stage, and excessive exhaust temperature or high pressure in the late stage of the start-up stage, which even triggers a fault shutdown.
