[0031] [First embodiment]
[0032] Reference is made to Figure 1 In one specific embodiment, the present application provides a refrigeration device of an air conditioner, the refrigeration device comprising: an intermediate cooler 3, the intermediate cooler 3 storing saturated liquid refrigerant and gaseous refrigerant; a high-stage side circulation system, the intermediate cooler 3 outputting the gaseous refrigerant to the high-stage side circulation system, the high-stage side circulation system being provided with a gas temperature sensor 13 at an outlet thereof; a low-stage side circulation system, the intermediate cooler 3 outputting the saturated liquid refrigerant to the low-stage side circulation system, the low-stage side circulation system being provided with an intermediate temperature sensor 12; and a liquid level sensor 4, the liquid level sensor 4 being arranged at the intermediate cooler 3 and being capable of acquiring the liquid level height of the saturated liquid refrigerant in the intermediate cooler 3; wherein the intermediate cooler 3 is connected to the high-stage side circulation system and the low-stage side circulation system, a high-pressure target value of the gaseous refrigerant is determined according to the temperature of the gas temperature sensor 13 and the temperature of the intermediate temperature sensor 12, and a liquid level height corresponding to the high-pressure target value.
[0033] The gaseous refrigerant is stored at the upper end of the intermediate cooler 3, the saturated liquid refrigerant is stored at the lower end of the intermediate cooler 3, the high-stage side circulation system is connected to the upper end of the intermediate cooler 3, the low-stage side circulation system is connected to the lower end of the intermediate cooler 3, the liquid level is controlled by the liquid level sensor 4, and the gaseous refrigerant is ensured to enter the high-stage side circulation system and the saturated liquid refrigerant is ensured to enter the low-stage side circulation system.
[0034] The gaseous refrigerant enters the high-level side circulation system, and is first lifted from the intermediate pressure to the high pressure, and then exchanges heat with the outside, and then returns to the intermediate cooler 3 after pressure reduction, and then is detected by the high pressure sensor after pressure increase, and exchanges heat with the outside, and then the temperature of the refrigerant after pressure increase is obtained by the gas temperature sensor 13, and the refrigerant after pressure increase is reduced again, and is converted into corresponding saturated liquid refrigerant and gaseous refrigerant according to the working state, and the saturated liquid refrigerant and gaseous refrigerant are transported to the intermediate cooler 3.
[0035] Before the saturated liquid refrigerant enters the low-level side circulation system, the refrigerant temperature of the saturated liquid refrigerant is obtained by the intermediate temperature sensor 12, the saturated liquid refrigerant is converted into gaseous refrigerant by the low-level side circulation system, and is transported to the intermediate cooler 3, the low-level side circulation system and the high-level side circulation system cooperate with each other to form a refrigerant circulation, and realize the continuous working of the refrigeration device.
[0036] According to the refrigerant temperature obtained by the gas temperature sensor 13 and the refrigerant temperature of the saturated liquid refrigerant obtained by the intermediate temperature sensor 12, the target high pressure value at which the refrigeration device can exert the best coefficient of performance is calculated under the current circulation state, and after the corresponding high pressure value is obtained, the running state of the high-level side circulation system and the low-level side circulation system is adjusted according to the target high pressure value.
[0037] The setting of the high-level side circulation system can increase the pressure of the output gaseous refrigerant, the setting of the low-level side circulation system can reduce the pressure of the saturated liquid refrigerant, the setting of the intermediate temperature sensor 12 can obtain the refrigerant temperature when the saturated liquid refrigerant is output, the setting of the gas temperature sensor 13 can obtain the refrigerant temperature of the gaseous refrigerant after passing through the high-level side circulation system, the combination of the values of the intermediate temperature sensor 12 and the gas temperature sensor 13 makes the calculation of the target high pressure value under the current running state more accurate, and the setting of the liquid level sensor 4 can quickly adjust the running state of the high-level side circulation system and the low-level side circulation system according to the target high pressure value.
[0038] Further, the high-level side circulation system specifically comprises: a high-level side compressor 5, the high-level side compressor 5 is connected with the intermediate cooler 3; a high pressure sensor, the high pressure sensor is arranged at the gas outlet of the high-level side compressor 5; a gas cooler 1, the gas cooler 1 is connected with the high-level side compressor 5, the gaseous refrigerant enters the gas cooler 1 after being increased in pressure by the high-level side compressor 5, and the gas temperature sensor 13 is arranged at the gas outlet of the gas cooler 1.
[0039] The high-stage compressor 5 pressurizes the gaseous refrigerant, and outputs the pressurized gaseous refrigerant to the gas cooler 1. The high-stage compressor 5 receives heat delivered to the intermediate cooler 3 by the low-stage cycle system at the same time of receiving the gaseous refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant is subjected to temperature exchange with the outside in the gas cooler 1, and releases the heat delivered to the intermediate cooler 3 by the low-stage cycle system and the heat generated by the operation of the high-stage compressor 5 to the outside, and reduces the temperature of the refrigerant.
[0040] The operation frequency of the high-stage compressor 5 is adjusted by the high-stage cycle system. When the high-pressure value is not equal to the high-pressure target value, the operation frequency of the high-stage compressor 5 is controlled to make them equal.
[0041] The high-stage compressor 5 pressurizes the gaseous refrigerant output from the intermediate cooler 3. The high-pressure value is made more accurate by detecting the high-pressure value in the current cycle state. The gas cooler 1 exchanges the heat in the cycle system with the outside, and ensures the stable operation of the refrigeration device. The high-stage expansion valve 2 converts the gaseous refrigerant into liquid refrigerant and sends the liquid refrigerant to the intermediate cooler 3, and ensures that the intermediate cooler 3 continuously inputs the liquid refrigerant to the low-stage cycle system.
[0042] Further, the refrigeration device further comprises a high-stage expansion valve 2, which is arranged between the gas cooler 1 and the intermediate cooler 3. The high-stage expansion valve 2 is used to depressurize the gaseous refrigerant and deliver the depressurized refrigerant to the intermediate cooler 3.
[0043] The high-stage expansion valve 2 depressurizes the gaseous refrigerant output from the gas cooler 1, i.e. reduces the refrigerant from high pressure to intermediate pressure. In the depressurization operation, the proportion of the gaseous refrigerant and the saturated liquid refrigerant entering the intermediate cooler 3 can be controlled according to the opening size of the high-stage expansion valve 2, so as to control the liquid level in the intermediate cooler 3.
[0044] The high-stage expansion valve 2 depressurizes the gaseous refrigerant at high pressure, and cooperates with the liquid level sensor 4 to adjust the volume of the saturated liquid refrigerant entering the intermediate cooler 3 according to the current liquid level, so as to improve the stability of the operation of the refrigeration device.
[0045] Further, the low-level side circulation system specifically comprises: a low-level side expansion valve 6, which is connected with the saturated liquid refrigerant outlet, an intermediate temperature sensor 12 is arranged between the low-level side expansion valve 6 and the intermediate cooler 3, and the low-level side expansion valve 6 is used for decompressing the saturated liquid refrigerant; an evaporator 10, which is connected with the low-level side expansion valve 6, receives the saturated liquid refrigerant, exchanges heat with the liquid water, and converts the saturated liquid refrigerant into gaseous refrigerant; and a low-level side compressor 11, which is connected with the evaporator 10, pressurizes the gaseous refrigerant, and delivers the gaseous refrigerant to the intermediate cooler 3.
[0046] After the intermediate cooler 3 outputs the saturated liquid refrigerant, the saturated liquid refrigerant is further decompressed by the low-level side expansion valve 6 and provided to the evaporator 10, and the intermediate temperature sensor 12 is arranged between the liquid outlet of the intermediate cooler 3 and the low-level side expansion valve 6.
[0047] The evaporator 10 absorbs heat from the water, outputs the heated refrigerant to the low-level side compressor 11, the low-level side compressor 11 pressurizes the refrigerant, releases the heat absorbed by the evaporator 10 and the heat generated by the compression work to the intermediate cooler 3, and the intermediate cooler 3 delivers the heat to the gas cooler 1 through the high-level side circulation and exchanges with the outside.
[0048] An inlet temperature sensor 7 is arranged at the refrigerant inlet of the evaporator 10, used for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant entering the evaporator 10, an outlet temperature sensor 9 is arranged at the refrigerant outlet of the evaporator 10, used for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant output, and the opening size of the low-level side expansion valve 6 is set according to the temperature difference between the inlet temperature sensor 7 and the outlet temperature sensor 9.
[0049] An outlet water temperature sensor 8 is arranged at the water outlet of the evaporator 10, used for detecting the outlet water temperature of the evaporator 10, and whether the running state of the evaporator 10 is stable is judged according to the outlet water temperature.
[0050] The arrangement of the low-level side expansion valve 6 can further decompress the refrigerant in the intermediate cooler 3, and the evaporator 10 is convenient for heating the refrigerant, the arrangement of the low-level side compressor 11 can pressurize the refrigerant decompressed by the low-level side expansion valve 6 and send the refrigerant back to the intermediate cooler 3, provide the required gaseous refrigerant for the high-level side circulation system, and ensure the stable running of the refrigeration device.
[0051] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 The application further provides a control method of the refrigeration device of the air conditioner, the refrigeration device described in the above embodiment is applied to the control method, and the control method comprises the following steps.
[0052] S100, acquiring the temperature of the gas temperature sensor to obtain a first temperature, and acquiring the temperature of the intermediate temperature sensor to obtain an intermediate temperature;
[0053] S200, determining the high-pressure target value of the refrigeration device according to the intermediate temperature and the first temperature;
[0054] S300, adjusting the liquid level height of the saturated liquid refrigerant according to the high-pressure target value;
[0055] S400, adjusting the liquid level height of the saturated liquid refrigerant and the operating state of the low-stage side circulation system according to the high-pressure target value.
[0056] In steps S100 to S300, the circuit of the gaseous refrigerant returning to the intermediate cooler after passing through the high-stage side compressor, the gas cooler and the high-stage side expansion valve is referred to as the high-stage side circulation system, the circuit of the saturated liquid refrigerant returning to the intermediate cooler after passing through the low-stage side expansion valve, the evaporator and the low-stage side compressor is referred to as the low-stage side circulation system, the intermediate cooler connects the low-stage side circulation system and the high-stage side circulation system, and the low-stage side circulation system and the high-stage side circulation system constitute the total circulation system of the refrigeration device.
[0057] In step S400, the saturated liquid refrigerant in the intermediate cooler is depressurized by the low-stage side expansion valve to obtain low-pressure refrigerant, and the low-pressure refrigerant is delivered to the evaporator. The evaporator outputs the low-pressure refrigerant into the low-stage side compressor. The low-stage side compressor performs pressure boosting operation on the low-pressure refrigerant, and delivers the refrigerant after the pressure boosting to the intermediate cooler. During the process of the saturated liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator, temperature sensors are designed at the refrigerant inlet and outlet of the evaporator. The temperature difference value is obtained according to the indication of the temperature sensor, and the opening size of the low-stage side expansion valve is controlled according to the temperature difference value.
[0058] After each intermediate temperature is combined with the corresponding first temperature, the high-pressure target value under the current circulation state can be obtained, the operating state of the high-stage side compressor is adjusted, the refrigerant pressure entering the gas cooler reaches the high-pressure target value, and the opening size of the high-stage side expansion valve is adjusted to change the liquid level height of the saturated liquid refrigerant.
[0059] The high-stage side circulation system and the low-stage side circulation system cooperate with each other to realize the secondary compression of the refrigerant and improve the operation stability of the refrigeration device. The detection of the first temperature and the intermediate temperature can determine the high-pressure target value required by the circulation system during the operation process, improve the coefficient of performance of the air conditioner, and the setting of the saturated liquid refrigerant liquid level height adjustment can ensure that the air conditioner can work stably at the high-pressure target value and improve the stability of the total circulation system.
[0060] Further, the high-pressure target value of the refrigeration device is determined according to the intermediate temperature and the first temperature, specifically including:
[0061] S210, substituting the intermediate temperature and the first temperature into the high-pressure fitting formula to obtain the high-pressure target value under the current first temperature;
[0062] The high pressure fitting formula is:
[0063] PHop= (0.001367-0.00002968Tm)Tg^2+ (0.1852+0.0005230Tm)Tg+0.6628;
[0064] Wherein, Tm is the intermediate temperature, Tg is the first temperature, and PHop is the high pressure target value.
[0065] In step S210, during the process performed by the total circulation system, the control software substitutes the current intermediate temperature and the first temperature into the high pressure fitting formula to determine the high pressure target value that needs to be adjusted, so as to control the working frequency of the high-stage side compressor and the opening size of the high-stage side expansion valve.
[0066] It should be noted that after the high pressure target value under the current intermediate and first temperatures is obtained according to the fitting formula, the optimal high pressure line of the first temperature corresponding to each intermediate temperature can be calculated according to the fitting formula.
[0067] The way of substituting the intermediate temperature and the first temperature into the high pressure fitting formula to directly obtain the high pressure target value enables the high pressure target value under the current circulation state to be quickly determined, which facilitates the low-stage side circulation system and the high-stage side circulation system to quickly adjust the working state according to the current high pressure target value, and reduces the time for the total circulation system to enter the optimal working state.
[0068] Further, adjusting the liquid level height of the saturated liquid refrigerant and adjusting the running state of the low-stage side circulation system according to the high pressure target value, specifically includes:
[0069] S310, detecting the liquid level height of the saturated liquid refrigerant inside the intermediate cooler to obtain a current liquid level;
[0070] S320, when the current liquid level is different from the liquid level target value, adjusting the current liquid level by controlling the opening of the high-stage side expansion valve, so that the current liquid level reaches the liquid level target value;
[0071] S330, when the current liquid level is the same as the liquid level target value, the high-stage side expansion valve is controlled to keep the current opening size.
[0072] In steps S310 to S330, a liquid level sensor is arranged at the intermediate cooler, and the remaining amount of saturated liquid refrigerant in the intermediate cooler can be detected in real time. When the high pressure target value is determined, the cycle requirement corresponding to the high pressure target value is also determined. During the operation of the total circulation system, the current liquid level needs to be kept the same as the liquid level target value. When the current liquid level is lower than the liquid level target value, the opening degree of the high-level side expansion valve needs to be increased to increase the refrigerant flow. When the current liquid level is higher than the liquid level target value, the opening degree of the high-level side expansion valve needs to be reduced to reduce the refrigerant flow.
[0073] By comparing the current liquid level with the liquid level target value, the difference between the current cycle state and the optimal cycle state can be intuitively obtained, so that the total circulation system can be quickly adjusted.
[0074] Further, according to the high pressure target value, the liquid level of the saturated liquid refrigerant is adjusted and the operation state of the low-level side circulation system is adjusted, which further comprises:
[0075] S410, an evaporator is arranged in the low-level side circulation system, and the saturated liquid refrigerant is converted into gaseous refrigerant after passing through the evaporator, and a second temperature when the saturated liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator and a third temperature when the gaseous refrigerant is output from the evaporator are obtained.
[0076] S420, calculating the refrigerant superheat degree according to the second temperature and the third temperature, and comparing the refrigerant superheat degree with a superheat target value to determine whether the opening degree of the low-level side expansion valve needs to be adjusted.
[0077] In steps S410 to S420, the temperature difference is obtained by subtracting the second temperature from the third temperature. According to the temperature difference, the refrigerant superheat degree of the low-level side expansion valve at the current opening degree is calculated. When the refrigerant superheat degree is less than the superheat target value, the opening degree of the low-level side expansion valve needs to be reduced. When the refrigerant superheat degree is greater than the superheat target value, the opening degree of the low-level side expansion valve needs to be increased.
[0078] The second temperature and the third temperature are obtained, so that the temperature difference is more consistent with the current working state of the low-level side circulation system, and the calculation of the refrigerant superheat degree is more accurate. The setting of the superheat target value enables the circulation system to adjust the low-level side expansion valve in time according to the refrigerant superheat degree, so that the coefficient of performance can be quickly improved.
[0079] Further, according to the second temperature and the third temperature, the refrigerant superheat degree is calculated, and the refrigerant superheat degree is compared with the superheat target value to determine whether the opening degree of the low-level side expansion valve needs to be adjusted, which specifically comprises:
[0080] S421, comparing the outlet water temperature with an outlet water target value.
[0081] S422、When the outlet water temperature is not equal to the outlet water target value, the working frequency of the low-stage side compressor is controlled to make the outlet water temperature reach the outlet water target value.
[0082] S423、When the outlet water temperature is equal to the outlet water target value, the working frequency of the low-stage side compressor does not need to be adjusted.
[0083] In steps S421 to S423, the outlet water temperature of the evaporator is used to control the low-stage side expansion valve, so that the operating state of the evaporator is more stable.
[0084] The outlet water temperature of the evaporator is used to control the low-stage side expansion valve, so that the operating state of the evaporator is more stable.
[0085] Further, the existing control method is compared with the control method of the present application, and the existing control method and the control method of the present application are used in the same specification device, and only the high-pressure control method is different.
