In the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components are provided only to help a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. In addition, descriptions of known functions and structures are omitted in the embodiments for clarity and conciseness.
[0034] The present application aims to provide a control method, device, and storage medium of a four-pipe multi-split system with expanded hot water function, and a four-pipe system. The multi-split system provided by the present application makes full use of energy without the need for a specific mode conversion device, thereby reducing costs, and through the arrangement of a one-way valve group, the direction of refrigerant is completed, and the outdoor heat exchange capacity and refrigerant distribution are adjusted according to the indoor load change and hot water demand, thereby ensuring user experience and fully utilizing waste heat.
[0035] Reference will be made to the drawings below Figs. 1-3 The technical solutions of some embodiments of the present application are described.
[0036] As shown in Fig. 1 The present embodiment provides a four-pipe multi-split system with expanded hot water function, which comprises at least one group of indoor units, at least one group of hot water generating devices, and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit comprises a condenser 12, a refrigerant cooling device 20, a refrigerant guiding valve group, and a supercooling device 14. The refrigerant guiding valve group comprises a first electronic expansion valve 13, a first pipeline, a second pipeline, a first one-way valve 21, a second one-way valve 22, a third one-way valve 23, and a fourth one-way valve 24. The first pipeline, the second pipeline, and the refrigerant cooling device 20 are connected in parallel. The first one-way valve 21 and the third one-way valve 23 are arranged on the first pipeline, the second one-way valve 22 and the fourth one-way valve 24 are arranged on the second pipeline, the inlets of the first one-way valve 24, the second one-way valve 22, the third one-way valve 23, and the fourth one-way valve 24 are connected to the outlet of the refrigerant cooling device 20, the supercooling device 14 is connected between the second one-way valve 22 and the fourth one-way valve 24, one end of the first electronic expansion valve 13 is connected between the first one-way valve 21 and the third one-way valve 23, and the other end of the first electronic expansion valve 13 is connected to the condenser 12. The hot water generating device 18 is connected to the refrigerant cooling device 20. The supercooling device 14 is connected to indoor unit one 29a and indoor unit two 29b.
[0037] The conventional four-way control multi-connected system needs to set multiple four-way valves to complete the guiding of refrigerant, or connect external devices to maintain the stability of the overall system, or match with specific mode conversion devices, which are expensive and cause system complexity. The four-way control multi-connected system provided in the embodiment sets the position of the check valve group. When refrigeration + hot water is required, the refrigerant on the hot water generating device side passes through the second electronic expansion valve to control the flow, and before being guided back to the refrigerant cooling device through the liquid pipe, the main refrigerant of the system passes through the condenser, passes through the first electronic expansion valve to control the flow of the refrigerant, and is combined with the hot water side refrigerant through the third check valve; when heating + hot water is required, the indoor unit side refrigerant flows to the refrigerant cooling device through the fourth check valve and is combined with the hot water side refrigerant, and then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger through the first check valve to exchange heat. The system realizes the guiding of the refrigerant in refrigeration, refrigeration + hot water, heating, heating + hot water, and hot water, so that as much refrigerant as possible flows to the hot water generating device while ensuring the basic functions of refrigeration and heating, thereby improving the utilization of waste heat. At the same time, the flow direction of the refrigerant is mechanically controlled by using the check valve, avoiding the control and signal transmission problems caused by the use of electronic valves and other components, and being more convenient in function realization and more stable in control. The use of multiple electronic expansion valves and other components avoids the control and signal transmission problems, and ensures that sufficient refrigerant flows through the refrigerant cooling device, thereby ensuring the stability of the system.
[0038] At the same time, the number of indoor units and hot water generating devices can be set according to actual needs.
[0039] In addition, the hot water generating device 19 includes a second electronic expansion valve 17 and a hot water generator 18, and the second electronic expansion valve 17 is arranged on the water outlet side of the hot water generator 18. The purpose of arranging the second electronic expansion valve here is to detect the temperature of the refrigerant at this position and control the flow of the refrigerant at this position. At the same time, the hot water generator 18 has an electric heating function, which can also meet the hot water demand of the user when the demand of the indoor unit is large.
[0040] The outdoor unit further includes a compressor 10 and a high-pressure gas pipe 26. The outlet of the compressor 10 is connected with the inlet of the hot water generating device 19 through the high-pressure gas pipe 26. The outlet of the hot water generating device 19 is connected with the refrigerant cooling device 20 through a liquid pipe 27. The high-pressure gas pipe 26 can meet the demand of guiding the high-temperature and high-pressure gas of the compressor 10. A high-pressure gas pipe 26 is led out again through the position of the four-way valve 16 to guide the refrigerant to the hot water generating device 19, complete the utilization of waste heat, and guide the refrigerant back to be combined with other refrigerants in front of the refrigerant cooling device 20 through the liquid pipe 27.
[0041] Meanwhile, the first port c of the four-way valve 16 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 10, the second port d of the four-way valve 16 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 12, the third port e of the four-way valve 16 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 10, and the fourth port f of the four-way valve 16 is connected to the inlets of the indoor units 29a and 29b through the air pipes.
[0042] The four-way valve 16 ensures the switching of the system switching refrigeration and heating functions and the realization of the basic functions of refrigeration and heating.
[0043] The outlet of the compressor 10 is provided with an oil separator 15, and the oil separator 15 is connected to the first port c of the four-way valve 16 through the high-pressure air pipe 26. The inlet of the compressor 10 is provided with an air-liquid separator 11, and the air-liquid separator 11 is connected to the third port e of the four-way valve 16.
[0044] The oil separator 15 separates the lubricating oil in the high-pressure and high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor 10 during refrigeration, and the air-liquid separator 11 ensures the air-liquid separation of the refrigerant, ensures the accuracy of the refrigerant temperature and pressure, ensures the accuracy of the supercooling degree of the refrigerant during the guidance of the refrigerant, and ensures the safe and efficient operation of the entire system.
[0045] Another object of the present application is to provide a control method of a four-pipe multi-split system to solve the problem of poor refrigerant guidance control effect of a multi-split system that can provide hot water function, as shown in Figs. 1-3 as shown, comprising:
[0046] The ambient temperature of the outdoor unit is obtained, the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device is obtained, the whole machine calculation capacity is obtained, the whole machine calculation capacity is divided into three intervals a1, a2 and a3, wherein a3 is greater than a2, and a2 is greater than a1; the first electronic expansion valve opening degree and the second electronic expansion valve opening degree are adjusted according to the whole machine calculation capacity, the outdoor ring working condition of the outdoor unit and the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device, so as to ensure the stability of the multi-split system in the hot water supply function.
[0047] The calculation formula of the whole machine calculation capacity is:
[0048] Among them, Ac——Refrigeration indoor unit demand percentage, related to indoor and outdoor unit ambient temperature;
[0049] The opening indoor unit capacity; The outdoor unit whole machine capacity.
[0050] Specifically, it includes:
[0051] If the ambient temperature of the outdoor unit is lower than the first temperature threshold and the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device is higher than the rated temperature, the preset valve step value of the second electronic expansion valve is 30-100 pls, and when the calculated capacity of the whole machine is a1, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 70-180 pls, when the calculated capacity of the whole machine is a2, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 250-380 pls, and when the calculated capacity of the whole machine is a3, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is the maximum value.
[0052] Preferably, a1 is less than 30%, a2 is preferably 30%-70%, and a3 is greater than 70%. The first temperature threshold is preferably 25°C, the second temperature threshold is preferably 42°C, and the rated temperature is preferably 48°C.
[0053] By adjusting according to the different calculated capacity requirements of the whole machine, the problem of low temperature of the indoor unit and easy triggering of the freeze protection is avoided. The second electronic expansion valve maintaining a certain standby step number can prevent the accumulation of refrigerant.
[0054] At the same time, if the ambient temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the first temperature threshold and lower than the second temperature threshold, it is determined whether the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device is lower than the rated temperature, and if so, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 120-180 pls; the second electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the water module target supercooling degree, which is divided into b1, b2, and b3, b4 three intervals, wherein b4 is greater than b3, b3 is greater than b2, and b2 is greater than b1; when the calculated capacity of the whole machine is a1, the water module target supercooling degree is b1; when the calculated capacity of the whole machine is a2, the water module target supercooling degree is b2; when the calculated capacity of the whole machine is a3, the water module target supercooling degree is b3.
[0055] The water module target supercooling degree = system high pressure temperature - hot water generator plate exchange air side outlet temperature. b1 is preferably 8-10°C, b2 is preferably 10-12°C, b3 is preferably 12-14°C, and b4 is preferably 14-18°C.
[0056] The advantages of such setting are: first, the piping of the four-pipe multi-split system is complex and relatively long, and the refrigerant also has a certain temperature drop in the flow of the piping. The hot water generator target supercooling degree control is to control the second electronic expansion valve step number to be opened or closed according to the difference between the current supercooling degree and the target supercooling degree of the hot water generator fed back by the system, and the adjustment of the second electronic expansion valve according to the target supercooling degree of the water module can ensure sufficient heat exchange of the hot water generating device and accurate control of the side of the hot water generating device. Second, the first electromagnetic expansion valve step number is fixed, which ensures the flow and can bear the excess heat that cannot be consumed by the water side and prevent the accumulation of refrigerant.
[0057] Further, it is judged whether the environment temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the second temperature threshold value, if yes, it is judged whether the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device is lower than the rated temperature, if yes, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 30-100 pls, and the preset valve step maximum value of the second electronic expansion valve; if no, the water module target supercooling degree is b4, and when the whole machine calculated capacity is a1, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 70-150 pls; when the whole machine calculated capacity is a2, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 150-250 pls; when the whole machine calculated capacity is a3, the preset valve step value of the first electronic expansion valve is 250-380 pls.
[0058] When the environment temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the second temperature threshold value, and the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device is lower than the rated temperature, the heat exchange capacity of the outdoor unit side and the heat exchange capacity of the hot water side are similar, and meanwhile, when the system pipeline is long, there is a certain temperature drop in the flow of the refrigerant in the pipeline, and a reasonable target supercooling degree needs to be set to accurately control the second electronic expansion valve and make the hot water side fully exchange heat. When the refrigerant temperature at the outlet side of the hot water generating device is higher than the rated temperature, the refrigerant flow is controlled to be reasonable to make the heat exchange capacity of the two sides suitable, and ensure the heat exchange efficiency.
[0059] The embodiment also provides an air conditioning system, a computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, and a processor, and when the computer program is read and run by the processor, the above multi-split system control method is realized.
[0060] The embodiment also provides a computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, and when the computer program is read and run by the processor, the above multi-split system control method is realized. The computer readable storage medium has all the advantages of the above multi-split system control method, and will not be repeated here.
