Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air source system technology, and in particular to a control method, device, system and storage medium for an air source system. Background Technology
[0002] Air source heat pump systems are widely used in buildings due to their advantages such as low energy consumption and minimal environmental pollution. These systems typically include heat pump units to cool the building during the cooling season and heat it during the heating season. However, during the cooling season, the heat pump units are limited by the system's design, resulting in lower cooling efficiency for the air source heat pump system. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application provides a control method, device, system, and storage medium for an air source system to solve the technical problem of low cooling energy efficiency of air source systems during the cooling season in the prior art.

[0005] When the air source system is in the cooling season, obtain the actual cooling temperature of the air source system;
[0006] When it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, the evaporative chiller and the water pump assembly are controlled to operate.
[0007] If the air source system still provides insufficient cooling after the evaporative chiller and the water pump assembly have been put into operation, the first actual load rate of the evaporative chiller that has been put into operation is determined.
[0008] Based on the first actual load rate, the heat pump unit and the water pump assembly are controlled to ensure that the air source system provides sufficient cooling.
[0009] In an optional implementation, controlling the heat pump unit and the water pump assembly according to the first actual load rate to ensure sufficient cooling of the air source system includes:

[0037] After achieving the actual cooling temperature step of the air source system, the method further includes:
[0038] When it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, the water pump assembly is controlled to operate and each of the evaporative chiller units is controlled to operate sequentially.
[0039] When all the evaporative chillers are operating at a preset frequency and the air source system is still not cooling enough, the water pump assembly is controlled to operate and each of the heat pump units is controlled in turn to ensure that the air source system is cooling sufficiently. The preset frequency is used to characterize the maximum frequency at which the evaporative chillers are allowed to operate.
[0040] In an optional implementation, after achieving the actual cooling temperature step of the air source system, the method further includes:
[0041] When the air source system is determined to be overcooled based on the actual cooling temperature, if there are at least two working evaporative chillers and at least two working heat pump units in the air source system, the water pump assembly is controlled to work and the working heat pump units are controlled to stop working in sequence.
[0042] After controlling all the operating heat pump units to stop working, the water pump assembly is controlled to work and each of the operating evaporative chiller units is controlled to stop working in sequence, so that the air source system can provide sufficient cooling.
[0043] Secondly, this application provides a control device for an air source system, the air source system including a heat pump unit, an evaporative cooler unit, and a water pump assembly, the water pump assembly being connected to the heat pump unit and the evaporative cooler unit respectively, the device comprising:

[0048] Thirdly, this application provides an air source system, including: a heat pump unit, an evaporative cooler unit, a water pump assembly, a processor, and a memory. The water pump assembly is connected to the heat pump unit and the evaporative cooler unit respectively. The processor is connected to the heat pump unit, the evaporative cooler unit, the water pump unit, and the memory respectively.

[0049] Fourthly, this application provides a storage medium storing one or more programs that can be executed by one or more processors to implement the control method of the air source system as described above.
[0050] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages. The method provided in this application is applied to an air source system, which includes a heat pump unit, an evaporative chiller unit, and a water pump assembly. The water pump assembly is connected to the heat pump unit and the evaporative chiller unit respectively. The method includes: when the air source system is in the cooling season, obtaining the actual cooling temperature of the air source system; when it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, controlling the evaporative chiller unit and the water pump assembly to work; if the air source system is still not cooling sufficiently after the evaporative chiller unit and the water pump assembly have worked, determining the first actual load rate of the working evaporative chiller unit; and controlling the heat pump unit and the water pump assembly according to the first actual load rate to ensure that the air source system is cooling sufficiently. Through the above methods, this application incorporates a heat pump unit and an evaporative cooling unit in the air source system. Since the evaporative cooling unit has a higher energy efficiency than the heat pump unit, when the air source system is not cooling sufficiently, the evaporative cooling unit is prioritized for operation. Furthermore, after the evaporative cooling unit is operating, the first actual load rate of the evaporative cooling unit is determined. If the energy efficiency of the evaporative cooling unit is determined to be poor based on the first actual load rate, the heat pump unit is switched to operate. This ensures that the air source system always operates with high energy efficiency during cooling, thereby improving the cooling energy efficiency of the air source system during the cooling season.

[0068] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air source system provided in an embodiment of this application. The air source system provided in this application includes the following steps:
[0069] S201: Obtain the actual cooling temperature of the air source system during the cooling season.
[0070] In this embodiment, the cooling season can be understood as summer. During the summer, the air source system is typically required to cool the building. A temperature sensor is installed in the building, and when cooling control of the air source system is needed, the actual cooling temperature of the air source system is obtained through this sensor.
[0071] The method provided in this embodiment is applied to, for example, Figure 1 The air source system shown. Figure 1 The air source system includes a heat pump unit 2, an evaporative cooling unit 1, a heat recovery unit 3, a water tank 9, and a water pump assembly 4. The water pump assembly 4 is connected to the heat pump unit 2, the evaporative cooling unit 1, and the heat recovery unit 3, respectively. The heat recovery unit 3 is also connected to the water tank 9. The water pump assembly 4 includes a first water pump 41, a second water pump 42, and a third water pump 43. The first water pump 41 is connected to the evaporative cooling unit 1, the second water pump 42 is connected to the heat pump unit 2, and the third water pump 43 is connected to the heat recovery unit 3. In this embodiment, by directly connecting each unit to the water pump, the electric butterfly valve is eliminated, thereby improving the operational reliability of the air source system. Specifically, the heat pump unit can exchange heat with the air; the evaporative cooling unit is an evaporative cooling system suitable for refrigeration; and the heat recovery unit can supply hot water and refrigeration free of charge.
[0072] S202: When it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, control the operation of the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly.
[0073] In this embodiment, after obtaining the actual cooling temperature, it can be compared with a first temperature threshold. When the actual cooling temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently. Since the energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller is higher than that of the heat pump unit, in order to ensure that the air source system can achieve efficient cooling during the cooling season, it is necessary to control the operation of the evaporative chiller and the water pump assembly. When the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, it is necessary to further determine whether the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold. When the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, it indicates that the air source system is cooling sufficiently, and the current operating state of the air source system can be maintained. When the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, it indicates that the air source system is overcooling. If only the evaporative cooling unit is active in the air source system at this time, the evaporative cooling unit is controlled to ensure sufficient cooling in the air source system. If only the heat pump unit is active in the air source system at this time, the heat pump unit is controlled to ensure sufficient cooling in the air source system. If both the evaporative cooling unit and the heat pump unit are active in the air source system at this time, the heat pump unit can be prioritized to stop working based on the energy efficiency relationship between the evaporative cooling unit and the heat pump unit. If the air source system is still undercooled after the heat pump unit stops working, the evaporative cooling unit is controlled to ensure sufficient cooling in the air source system.
[0074] S203: If the air source system still provides insufficient cooling after the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly have been operating, determine the first actual load rate of the operating evaporative chiller.
[0075] In this embodiment, if the air source system still provides insufficient cooling after the evaporative cooling unit and water pump assembly are operating, the first actual load rate of the operating evaporative cooling unit is determined. This first actual load rate is used to determine whether it is necessary to switch to the heat pump unit to improve the energy efficiency of the air source system during cooling. The method for determining the first actual load rate can refer to existing technologies, and will not be elaborated here.
[0076] S204: Control the heat pump unit and water pump components according to the first actual load rate to ensure sufficient cooling of the air source system.
[0077] In this embodiment, after obtaining the first actual load rate, the first actual load rate can be compared with the load rate corresponding to the lowest energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller during cooling. If it is determined that the energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller is poor based on the first actual load rate, the evaporative chiller can be switched to control the heat pump unit and water pump assembly, thereby ensuring sufficient cooling of the air source system and thus guaranteeing the high-efficiency cooling of the air source system.
[0078] This application provides a control method for an air source system, in which a heat pump unit and an evaporative chiller unit are installed. Since the evaporative chiller unit has a higher energy efficiency than the heat pump unit, when the air source system is not cooling sufficiently, the evaporative chiller unit is prioritized to operate. After the evaporative chiller unit starts operating, the first actual load rate of the evaporative chiller unit is determined. If the energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller unit is determined to be poor based on the first actual load rate, the heat pump unit is switched to operate. This ensures that the air source system always operates with high energy efficiency during cooling, thereby improving the cooling energy efficiency of the air source system during the cooling season.
[0079] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another control method for an air source system provided in an embodiment of this application. The control method for an air source system provided in this application includes the following steps:
[0080] S301: Obtain the first actual water temperature of the water tank when the air source system is in the cooling season.
[0081] S302: When it is determined that the hot water in the air source system is insufficient based on the first actual water temperature, control the operation of the heat recovery unit and the water pump unit.
[0082] For steps S301 and S302, a temperature sensor is installed in the water tank to obtain the first actual water temperature. The first actual water temperature is compared with a third temperature threshold. If the first actual water temperature is lower than the third temperature threshold, it indicates that the air source system has insufficient hot water. In this case, the heat recovery unit and water pump unit need to be controlled to operate to provide free hot water. If the first actual water temperature is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, it indicates that the air source system has insufficient hot water. In this case, it is not necessary to control the heat recovery unit and water pump unit, and the step of obtaining the actual cooling temperature of the air source system in step S303 is executed. The third temperature threshold can be set according to actual needs; in this embodiment, the specific value of the third temperature threshold is not limited. In this embodiment, by controlling the heat recovery unit in the air source system, the air source system can achieve cooling, heating, and hot water functions.
[0083] S303: Obtain the actual cooling temperature of the air source system after the heat recovery unit and water pump assembly are in operation.
[0084] S304: When it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, control the operation of the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly.
[0085] Regarding steps S303 and S304, step S303 is the same as step S201, and step S304 is the same as step S202. For details, please refer to steps S201 and S202. This embodiment will not repeat them here.
[0086] In this embodiment, step S304, controlling the operation of the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly, includes:
[0087] Control the operation of the first water pump in the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly.
[0088] In controlling the operation of the evaporative chiller, the operation of the first water pump connected to it can reduce the occurrence of water mixing and improve the cooling efficiency of the air source system.
[0089] S305: After the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly are working, if the air source system is still not cooling, determine the first actual load rate of the already working evaporative chiller.
[0090] S306: Determine the first comparison result between the first actual load rate and the first preset load rate corresponding to the evaporative chiller.
[0091] S307: When the first comparison result is that the first actual load rate is less than or equal to the first preset load rate, control the heat pump unit and water pump assembly to work, and control the evaporative chiller unit to stop working, so as to ensure that the air source system provides sufficient cooling.
[0092] Regarding steps S306 and S307, the first preset load rate is used to characterize the load rate corresponding to the lowest energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller during cooling. When the first actual load rate is less than the first preset load rate, if the evaporative chiller is still used for cooling, the cooling capacity will be excessive, which will affect the cooling efficiency of the entire air source system. Therefore, it is necessary to switch to the heat pump unit for cooling so that the heat pump unit can operate in the high-efficiency range, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the entire air source system. When switching to the heat pump unit, it is necessary to control the operation of the heat pump unit and the water pump assembly, and control the evaporative chiller to stop working, so as to realize the switching of the heat pump unit and ensure sufficient cooling of the air source system. It should be noted that when the first comparison result is that the first actual load rate is greater than the first preset load rate, it indicates that the energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller is better. At this time, the original control method can continue to be used, and there is no need to switch the heat pump unit. This embodiment determines the first actual load rate to realize the switching from the evaporative chiller unit to the heat pump unit, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency of the air source system.
[0093] In this embodiment, step S307, when the first comparison result is that the first actual load rate is less than or equal to the first preset load rate, controls the heat pump unit and water pump assembly to work, and controls the evaporative chiller unit to stop working, so as to ensure sufficient cooling of the air source system, includes:
[0094] When the first comparison result is that the first actual load rate is less than or equal to the first preset load rate, the heat pump unit and water pump assembly are controlled to work, and the evaporative chiller is controlled to stop working.
[0095] After the heat pump unit and water pump assembly are operational, determine the second actual load rate of the heat pump unit that has been started.
[0096] Determine the second comparison result between the second actual load rate and the second preset load rate corresponding to the heat pump unit;
[0097] When the second comparison result shows that the second actual load rate is greater than the second preset load rate, the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly are controlled to work, and the heat pump unit is controlled to stop working.
[0098] After the evaporative chiller and water pump assembly are working, return to the step of determining the first actual load rate of the working evaporative chiller if the air source system is still not cooling enough, so as to ensure that the air source system is cooling sufficiently.
[0099] The second preset load rate is used to characterize the lower limit of the cooling efficiency of the air source system. The second preset load rate is the ratio between the target product and the preset cooling capacity corresponding to the heat pump unit. The target product is the product between the preset cooling capacity corresponding to the evaporative cooler and the first preset load rate. When switching to the heat pump unit to improve the cooling efficiency of the air source system, the second actual load rate of the activated heat pump unit is determined. The method for determining the second actual load rate can refer to existing technologies and will not be elaborated here. When the second actual load rate is greater than the second preset load rate, it indicates that continuing to control the heat pump unit results in poor cooling efficiency of the air source system. In this case, to improve the cooling efficiency of the air source system, the system switches to the evaporative cooler to achieve cooling. After switching to the evaporative cooler, the process can return to step S303 to ensure that the entire air source system can always achieve high-efficiency cooling until the air source system is sufficiently cooled. When the second actual load rate is less than or equal to the second preset load rate, it indicates that the heat pump unit can continue to be controlled without affecting the cooling efficiency of the air source system. The preset cooling capacity corresponding to the evaporative chiller and the preset cooling capacity corresponding to the heat pump unit can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them. This embodiment achieves the mutual switching between the evaporative chiller and the heat pump unit by judging the first actual load rate and the second actual load rate, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency of the air source system.
[0100] In this embodiment, step S307, controlling the operation of the heat pump unit and water pump assembly, specifically includes:
[0101] Control the operation of the second water pump in the heat pump unit and water pump assembly, and control the operation of the first water pump in the water pump assembly to stop working.
[0102] In controlling the operation of the heat pump unit, by operating the second water pump connected to it and controlling the first water pump to stop operating, the occurrence of water mixing can be reduced and the cooling efficiency of the air source system can be improved.
[0103] In this embodiment, there are multiple heat pump units, and the water pump assembly includes a second water pump connected to each heat pump unit. The control method for an air source system provided in this embodiment further includes the following steps:
[0104] When the air source system is in the heating season, obtain the actual heating temperature of the air source system;
[0105] When the actual heating temperature indicates that the air source system is not heating sufficiently, the heat pump unit and the second water pump connected to the heat pump unit are controlled sequentially to ensure that the air source system provides sufficient heating.
[0106] The heating season can be understood as winter. The actual heating temperature of the air source system can be obtained through temperature sensors in the building. When the actual heating temperature is lower than the fourth temperature threshold, each heat pump unit in the air source system and the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit can be operated sequentially until the air source system provides sufficient heating. During the heating season, operating each heat pump unit and the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit in sequence not only reduces water mixing but also improves the heating efficiency of the air source system. When the actual heating temperature is greater than or equal to the fifth temperature threshold, each heat pump unit and the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit in the air source system can be operated sequentially until the air source system provides sufficient heating. When the actual heating temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth temperature threshold and less than the fifth temperature threshold, it indicates that the air source system provides sufficient heating, and the current operating state can be maintained.
[0107] In this embodiment, in order to provide free hot water while heating, the control method for an air source system provided in this embodiment further includes the following steps:
[0108] When the air source system is in the heating season, obtain the second actual water temperature of the water tank;
[0109] When it is determined that the hot water in the air source system is insufficient based on the second actual water temperature, the heat recovery unit and the third water pump are controlled to operate so that the hot water in the air source system is sufficient.
[0110] The second actual water temperature in the water tank can be obtained through a temperature sensor inside the tank. Determining insufficient hot water in the air source system based on the second actual water temperature is similar to determining insufficient hot water based on the first actual water temperature, and will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment. When insufficient hot water is determined based on the second actual water temperature, the heat recovery unit and the third water pump connected to it can be controlled to operate, ensuring sufficient hot water in the air source system. This not only provides hot water during air source system heating but also reduces water mixing, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the air source system. It should be noted that when insufficient hot water is determined based on the second actual water temperature, it is not necessary to operate the heat recovery unit and the third water pump connected to it.
[0111] This application provides a control method for an air source system, in which a heat pump unit and an evaporative chiller unit are installed. Since the evaporative chiller unit has a higher energy efficiency than the heat pump unit, when the air source system is not cooling sufficiently, the evaporative chiller unit is prioritized to operate. After the evaporative chiller unit starts operating, the first actual load rate of the evaporative chiller unit is determined. If the energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller unit is determined to be poor based on the first actual load rate, the heat pump unit is switched to operate. This ensures that the air source system always operates with high energy efficiency during cooling, thereby improving the cooling energy efficiency of the air source system during the cooling season.
[0112] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another control method for an air source system provided in this application. The control method for an air source system provided in this application includes the following steps:
[0113] S401: Obtain the actual cooling temperature of the air source system during the cooling season.
[0114] S402: When it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, control the water pump assembly to operate and sequentially control the operation of each evaporative chiller unit.
[0115] S403: When all evaporative cooling units are operating at a preset frequency and the air source system is still not cooling sufficiently, control the water pump assembly to operate and sequentially control each heat pump unit to ensure that the air source system is cooling sufficiently.
[0116] S404: When the air source system is determined to be overcooled based on the actual cooling temperature, if there are at least two operating evaporative chillers and at least two operating heat pump units in the air source system, the operating heat pump units shall be stopped and the water pump components shall be controlled to operate in sequence.
[0117] S405: After controlling all operating heat pump units to stop working, it sequentially controls each operating evaporative chiller unit to stop working and controls the water pump components to work, so as to ensure sufficient cooling of the air source system.
[0118] Regarding steps S401 to S405 above, step S401 is the same as step S201 above. For details, please refer to step S201. In this embodiment, it will not be repeated here.
[0119] The method provided in this embodiment is applied to Figure 5 The air source system shown includes multiple evaporative chillers 1, multiple heat pump units 2, multiple heat recovery units 3, a water pump assembly 4, and a water tank 9. The water pump assembly 4 is connected to the multiple evaporative chillers 1, multiple heat pump units 2, and multiple heat recovery units 3, and the multiple heat recovery units 3 are connected to the water tank 9. The air source system also includes a return water line 5, a supply water line 6, a water collector 7, and a water distributor 8. The water collector 7 is connected to the water pump assembly 4 and each of the evaporative chillers 1, heat pump units 2, and heat recovery units 3 via the return water line 5. The water distributor 8 is connected to each of the evaporative chillers 1, heat pump units 2, and heat recovery units 3 via the supply water line 6. The water pump assembly 4 includes multiple first water pumps 41, multiple second water pumps 42, and multiple third water pumps 43. The number of first water pumps 41 is the same as that of evaporative cooling unit 1, the number of second water pumps 42 is the same as that of heat pump unit 2, and the number of third water pumps 43 is the same as that of heat recovery unit 3. One evaporative cooling unit 1 is connected to one first water pump 41, one heat pump unit 2 is connected to one second water pump 42, and one heat recovery unit 3 is connected to one third water pump 43.
[0120] The preset frequency is used to characterize the maximum frequency at which the evaporative chiller unit is allowed to operate. The preset frequency can be set according to actual needs; in this embodiment, the specific value of the preset frequency is not limited. The specific methods for determining insufficient or excessive cooling of the air source system based on the actual cooling temperature can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated here. When insufficient cooling is determined based on the actual cooling temperature, the high-efficiency evaporative chiller unit and water pump assembly can be prioritized to ensure the cooling efficiency of the air source system. If all evaporative chiller units are operating at full frequency and the air source system is still insufficiently cooling, the heat pump units are sequentially controlled to operate to increase capacity and ensure sufficient cooling in the air source system. When excessive cooling is determined based on the actual cooling temperature, to ensure the cooling efficiency of the air source system, the low-efficiency heat pump units that are already operating can be prioritized to stop operating sequentially. After all operating heat pump units have stopped operating, if the air source system is still excessively cooling, the operating evaporative chiller units are sequentially controlled to stop operating until the air source system is sufficiently cooling, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency of the air source system.
[0121] Specifically, when controlling the operation of each evaporative chiller unit sequentially, the first water pump connected to each evaporative chiller unit can be controlled sequentially. When controlling the operation of each heat pump unit sequentially, the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit can be controlled sequentially. When controlling the operation of a heat pump unit sequentially to stop working, the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit can be controlled sequentially to stop working. When controlling the operation of an evaporative chiller unit sequentially to stop working, the first water pump connected to each evaporative chiller unit can be controlled sequentially to stop working.
[0122] It should be noted that during the heating season, the actual heating temperature of the air source system is obtained. If it is determined that the air source system is not heating enough based on the actual heating temperature, a control method similar to that during the cooling season is implemented. If it is determined that the air source system is heating excessively based on the actual heating temperature, a control method similar to that during the cooling season is implemented.
[0123] This application provides a control method for an air source system, in which a heat pump unit and an evaporative chiller unit are installed. Since the evaporative chiller unit has a higher energy efficiency than the heat pump unit, when the air source system is not cooling sufficiently, the evaporative chiller unit is controlled first. If the air source system is still not cooling sufficiently after controlling the evaporative chiller unit, then the heat pump unit is controlled, so that the air source system always cools with high energy efficiency, thereby improving the cooling energy efficiency of the air source system during the cooling season.
[0124] The following is an example when there are multiple evaporative chillers, heat pump units, and heat recovery units. (Refer to...) Figure 6 The control process of the entire air source system is described in detail below:
[0125] When the air source system is in the cooling season, obtain the first actual water temperature of the water tank and the actual cooling temperature of the air source system.
[0126] Determine whether the first actual water temperature is less than the third temperature threshold;
[0127] When the first actual water temperature is less than the third temperature threshold, the heat recovery unit and water pump assembly are controlled to work so that the first actual water temperature is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold.
[0128] When the first actual water temperature is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, there is no need to control the operation of the heat recovery unit and water pump assembly;
[0129] After controlling the heat recovery unit, determine whether the actual cooling temperature is less than the first temperature threshold.
[0130] When the actual cooling temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold, the water pump assembly is controlled and each evaporator unit is controlled in turn.
[0131] When all evaporative cooling units are operating at a preset frequency and the air source system is still not cooling enough, the water pump assembly is controlled to operate and each heat pump unit is controlled in sequence to ensure that the air source system is cooling sufficiently.
[0132] When the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, determine whether the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold.
[0133] If the actual cooling temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and there are at least two working evaporative chillers and at least two working heat pump units in the air source system, the working heat pump units are controlled to stop working and the water pump components are controlled to work in sequence.
[0134] After controlling all working heat pump units to stop working, control each working evaporative chiller unit to stop working and control the water pump components to work, so as to ensure sufficient cooling of the air source system;
[0135] If the actual cooling temperature is lower than the second temperature threshold, the current operating status can be maintained.
[0136] During the heating season of the air source system, obtain the second actual water temperature of the water tank and the actual heating temperature of the air source system.
[0137] Determine whether the first actual water temperature is less than the third temperature threshold;
[0138] When the first actual water temperature is less than the third temperature threshold, the heat recovery unit and water pump assembly are controlled to work so that the first actual water temperature is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold.
[0139] When the first actual water temperature is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, there is no need to control the operation of the heat recovery unit and water pump assembly;
[0140] Determine whether the actual heating temperature is lower than the fourth temperature threshold.
[0141] When the actual heating temperature is less than the fourth temperature threshold, each heat pump unit in the air source system and the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit are operated in sequence until the air source system provides sufficient heating.
[0142] When the actual heating temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth temperature threshold, determine whether the actual heating temperature is greater than the fifth temperature threshold.
[0143] When the actual heating temperature is greater than or equal to the fifth temperature threshold, each heat pump unit in the air source system and the second water pump connected to each heat pump unit are turned off in sequence until the air source system provides sufficient heating.
[0144] When the actual heating temperature is lower than the fifth temperature threshold, maintain the current operating status.

The control device for an air source system provided in this application is applied to an air source system including a heat pump unit, an evaporative chiller unit, and a water pump assembly. The water pump assembly is connected to the heat pump unit and the evaporative chiller unit respectively. The device includes an acquisition module 10, a control module 20, and a determination module 30. The acquisition module 10 is used to acquire the actual cooling temperature of the air source system when the air source system is in the cooling season. The control module 20 is used to control the evaporative chiller unit and the water pump assembly to operate when the actual cooling temperature indicates insufficient cooling in the air source system. The determination module 30 is used to determine a first actual load rate of the operating evaporative chiller unit if the air source system still has insufficient cooling after the evaporative chiller unit and the water pump assembly have operated.

The target product value is the product of the preset cooling capacity corresponding to the evaporative chiller and the first preset load rate.
[0153] When the second comparison result indicates that the second actual load rate is greater than the second preset load rate, the evaporative chiller and the water pump assembly are controlled to operate, and the heat pump unit is controlled to stop operating.

[0174] In this embodiment, the control module 20 is further configured to:
[0175] When it is determined that the hot water in the air source system is insufficient based on the second actual water temperature, the heat recovery unit and the third water pump are controlled to operate so that the hot water in the air source system is sufficient.
[0176] In this embodiment, there are multiple evaporative chillers and multiple heat pump units.
[0177] In this embodiment, the control module 20 is further configured to:
[0178] After obtaining the actual cooling temperature of the air source system, if it is determined that the air source system is not cooling sufficiently based on the actual cooling temperature, the water pump assembly is controlled to work and each of the evaporative chiller units is controlled to work in sequence.
[0179] When all the evaporative chillers are operating at a preset frequency and the air source system is still not cooling enough, the water pump assembly is controlled to operate and each of the heat pump units is controlled in turn to ensure that the air source system is cooling sufficiently. The preset frequency is used to characterize the maximum frequency at which the evaporative chillers are allowed to operate.
[0180] In this embodiment, the control module 20 is further configured to:
[0181] After obtaining the actual cooling temperature of the air source system, if it is determined that the air source system is overcooled based on the actual cooling temperature, and if there are at least two working evaporative chillers and at least two working heat pump units in the air source system, the water pump assembly is controlled to work and the working heat pump units are controlled to stop working in sequence.
[0182] After controlling all the operating heat pump units to stop working, the water pump assembly is controlled to work and each of the operating evaporative chiller units is controlled to stop working in sequence, so that the air source system can provide sufficient cooling.
[0183] This application provides a control device for an air source system, which includes a heat pump unit and an evaporative chiller unit. Since the evaporative chiller unit has a higher energy efficiency than the heat pump unit, when the air source system is not cooling sufficiently, the evaporative chiller unit is prioritized for operation.

If the energy efficiency of the evaporative chiller unit is determined to be poor based on the first actual load rate, the heat pump unit is switched to operate. This ensures that the air source system always operates with high energy efficiency during cooling, thereby improving the cooling energy efficiency of the air source system during the cooling season.

After the heat pump unit and the water pump assembly are in operation, determine the second actual load rate of the heat pump unit that has been turned on; A second comparison result is determined between the second actual load rate and the second preset load rate corresponding to the heat pump unit. The second preset load rate is the ratio between the target product value and the preset cooling capacity corresponding to the heat pump unit. The target product value is the product of the preset cooling capacity corresponding to the evaporative chiller and the first preset load rate. When the second comparison result indicates that the second actual load rate is greater than the second preset load rate, the evaporative chiller and the water pump assembly are controlled to operate, and the heat pump unit is controlled to stop operating. After the evaporative chiller and the water pump assembly are operational, the process returns to the step of determining the first actual load rate of the operational evaporative chiller if the air source system still provides insufficient cooling, so that the air source system provides sufficient cooling.
