Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heating systems, in particular to a return water temperature prediction model construction method for ground radiation terminal regulation. BACKGROUND
[0002] In current heating systems, the core strategy of room temperature regulation theoretically relies on the room temperature feedback regulation mechanism. This mechanism continuously monitors the actual indoor temperature and compares it with the preset temperature to automatically adjust the heating output and control the indoor temperature.
[0003] However, this method has the following two difficulties in practical ground radiation heating applications:
[0004] Currently, only a small number of users have configured room temperature monitoring devices, limiting the popularization and optimization potential of this control strategy.
[0005] The inherent thermal inertia characteristics of ground radiation heating systems result in slow response, and if the room temperature feedback regulation is used, overshoot may occur, resulting in large room temperature fluctuations and affecting the accuracy and stability of the control.
[0006] In modern centralized heating systems, return water temperature is a key indicator for measuring and reflecting user heating quality. User return water temperature data is more easily obtained than room temperature data, and in ground radiation heating, return water temperature feedback control has the advantages of small thermal inertia and fast response compared to room temperature feedback control. Therefore, accurate prediction of return water temperature is not only crucial for grasping the overall heating efficiency, but also directly related to improving the accuracy and efficiency of user-side room temperature regulation. By optimizing the prediction method of return water temperature, the heating strategy can be adjusted more actively and effectively.
[0007] Current return water temperature prediction is mainly at the heat exchange station level and the building unit level, assuming that the return water temperatures of users included in the heat exchange station or building are the same, i.e., based on the return water temperature consistency method for valve regulation of users, the specific method is:
[0008] At the heat exchange station level, a heat exchange station contains several units, each unit supplies heat to one or more buildings, and the return water temperature of each unit is predicted and considered to be consistent with the return water temperatures of all users corresponding to the unit.
[0009] At the building unit level, if the return water temperature of the entire building is predicted, it is assumed that the return water temperatures of all users in the building are consistent; if the building is divided into zones for prediction, it is assumed that the return water temperatures of users in different zones are consistent.
[0010] The return water temperature prediction model based on the consistent return water temperature considers that the return water temperature of each user is the same at the heat exchange station level or the building unit level, but this method cannot guarantee the heat balance between users and cannot achieve the required room temperature of each user. The ground coverage rate, floor material, ground decoration and furniture placement of the ground radiant heating system can affect the heat transfer thermal resistance and the room temperature thermal response delay time. When the indoor coverage rate is low, the large heat dissipation area can ensure that the room temperature is within the required range with low return water temperature; on the contrary, when the indoor coverage rate is high, the small heat dissipation area requires high return water temperature to ensure the room temperature. Therefore, the same return water temperature cannot make the room temperature of all users at the same level, and can also hide the real situation in the room. SUMMARY
[0011] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and provide a return water temperature prediction model construction method for ground radiant terminal regulation. The present application introduces the difference of daily heat consumption of users of the same type as an input variable, establishes a personalized return water temperature prediction model at the user level, and more accurately realizes on-demand heating.
