Here, by adjusting the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve, the heat exchange effect of the second economizer can be adjusted to ensure that the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporating part of the second economizer is gaseous refrigerant.
[0074] Optionally, in step 102, when the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer is less than the evaporation temperature threshold, the processor confirms that the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer is not completely evaporated; when the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold, the processor confirms that the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer is completely evaporated.
[0075] Here, according to the temperature of the outlet refrigerant of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the evaporation effect of the evaporating part of the first economizer is judged to determine whether the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer is completely evaporated into gaseous refrigerant. When the temperature of the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold, it is confirmed that the outlet refrigerant of the evaporating part of the first economizer is completely evaporated. When the temperature of the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer is less than the evaporation temperature threshold, it is confirmed that the outlet refrigerant of the evaporating part of the first economizer is not completely evaporated, which means that the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporating part is not completely gaseous refrigerant. At this time, the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve is adjusted to ensure that the refrigerant is completely evaporated into gaseous refrigerant.
[0076] Optionally, the evaporation temperature threshold is determined according to the low-pressure pressure of the cold-heat unit.
[0077] Optionally, as Figure 3As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a method for controlling a cold and heat unit, comprising:
[0078] S201, the processor acquires the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0079] S202, according to the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor confirms the evaporation condition of the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0080] S203, in the case that the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer is not completely evaporated, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to reduce the opening degree.
[0081] S204, in the case that the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve is reduced to the second opening degree, and the real-time temperature of the outlet refrigerant of the evaporating part of the second economizer is less than the evaporation temperature threshold, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to reset and increase the opening degree until the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the second economizer is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold.
[0082] Here, when the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the second economizer is not completely evaporated, by controlling the second electronic expansion valve to reduce the opening degree, the flow of the refrigerant of the evaporating part of the second economizer is reduced, and the heat exchange effect between the evaporating part of the second economizer and the condensing part of the second economizer is improved, so as to adjust the temperature of the evaporating part of the second economizer and improve the evaporation effect, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporating part is completely evaporated.
[0083] When the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve is reduced to the second opening degree, and the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part is still lower than the evaporation temperature threshold, the electronic expansion valve is controlled to reset and increase the opening degree, which can increase the flow of the refrigerant entering the evaporating part, which is helpful to improve the evaporation effect of the refrigerant in the evaporating part.
[0084] Optionally, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to reset and increase the opening degree until the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the second economizer is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold, and the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve here is the opening degree before the second electronic expansion valve reduces the opening degree.
[0085] Optionally, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to reduce the opening degree, comprising that the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to reduce the opening degree at a first preset speed. For example, the opening degree can be gradually reduced by 1 step, 2 steps or 3 steps per 10 seconds.
[0086] Optionally, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to reset and increase the opening degree, comprising that the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to increase the opening degree at a second preset speed. For example, the opening degree can be gradually increased by 1 step, 2 steps or 3 steps per 10 seconds.
[0087] Optionally, in step S103, the processor controls the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve according to the evaporation condition of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporation section of the first economizer, including controlling the second electronic expansion valve to be closed or fully opened in the case that the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporation section of the first economizer is completely evaporated.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to be fully opened or closed in the case that the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporation section of the first economizer is completely evaporated, so that the evaporation section and the condensation section of the second economizer do not exchange heat, thereby ensuring that the refrigerant at the condensation section of the second economizer is in a gaseous state, and ensuring that the refrigerant flowing into the compressor from the condensation section of the second economizer is in a gaseous state.
[0089] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a method for controlling a cold-heat unit, including:
[0090] S301, the processor acquires the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporation section of the first economizer.
[0091] S302, the processor confirms the evaporation condition of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporation section of the first economizer according to the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporation section of the first economizer.
[0092] S303, the processor controls the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve according to the evaporation condition of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporation section of the first economizer.
[0093] S304, after confirming that the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporation section of the second economizer is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold, the processor acquires the discharge temperature of the compressor or the low-pressure pressure of the cold-heat unit.
[0094] S305, the processor controls the opening degrees of the second electronic expansion valve, the first control valve and the second control valve according to the discharge temperature of the compressor or the low-pressure pressure of the cold-heat unit.
[0095] Here, in the case that the evaporation section is completely evaporated, the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporation section is completely in a gaseous state, and according to the discharge temperature of the compressor or the low-pressure pressure of the cold-heat unit, the opening degrees of the second electronic expansion valve, the first control valve and the second control valve are selected to be controlled, so that the gaseous refrigerant can be supplemented into the medium-pressure cabin or the low-pressure cabin of the compressor as needed.
[0096] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide another method for controlling a cold-heat unit, including:
[0097] S401, the processor acquires the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporation section of the first economizer.
[0098] S402, according to the first economizer evaporator outlet refrigerant temperature, the processor confirms the first economizer evaporator outlet refrigerant evaporation.
[0099] S403, according to the first economizer evaporator outlet refrigerant evaporation, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve opening.
[0100] S404, in the case of confirming the second economizer evaporator outlet refrigerant temperature is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold, the processor obtains the compressor discharge temperature or low pressure of the heat pump unit.
[0101] S405, in the case of the compressor discharge temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to keep the opening, and controls the first control valve to open and the second control valve to close.
[0102] S406, in the case of the low pressure of the heat pump unit is less than or equal to the preset pressure, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to open or close, and controls the second control valve to open.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the heat pump unit is refrigerating or heating, when the discharge temperature of the compressor is too high, the system and the compressor and the electrical control parts are damaged, too high temperature will carbonize the compressor lubricating oil and damage the compressor. At this time, when the heat pump unit is refrigerating, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to keep the opening, so as to ensure that the refrigerant flowing out of the second economizer evaporator is gaseous refrigerant, and the first control valve is opened and the second control valve is closed. In this way, the gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the second economizer evaporator is supplemented to the medium pressure cabin of the compressor through the first branch, and the gas supplement is reduced to reduce the refrigerant temperature in the compressor, which increases the supercooling degree of the refrigerant in the compressor, effectively reduces the discharge temperature, and enables the compressor to operate at a higher frequency, increases the speed, increases the discharge capacity of the refrigerant secondary compression, increases the refrigerating capacity, and prevents the discharge from overheating. When the heat pump unit is heating, the temperature of the compressor is too high, and the first branch is supplemented with gas, which can also reduce the discharge temperature, compress the refrigerant, prevent the discharge from overheating, reduce the compressor, protect the system safety, and improve the heating capacity.
[0104] Similarly, when the low-pressure sensor detects that the low-pressure of the heat pump unit is less than or equal to the preset pressure, it indicates that the outdoor heat exchanger is frosting, and the capacity is reduced. At this time, the second electronic expansion valve is fully opened or closed, so that the temperature of the condensing part of the second economizer will not be reduced, to ensure that the content of gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the condensing part of the second economizer. The refrigerant of the second branch will flow into the gas-liquid separator for gas-liquid separation, so that the gaseous refrigerant flowing into the low-pressure cabin of the compressor can be ensured, and the gaseous refrigerant can be supplemented through the second control valve to increase the enthalpy, improve the low-pressure of the heat pump unit, slow down the frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger, and improve the heating capacity of the heat pump unit. In this way, the gas supplement during refrigeration and heating can be considered at the same time, the operating efficiency is improved, and the safety and stability of the heat pump unit are ensured.
[0105] Optionally, the opening degree of the first control valve is proportional to the amount of gas supplement required by the medium-pressure cabin of the compressor. The greater the opening degree of the first control valve, the greater the amount of gas supplement required by the medium-pressure cabin of the compressor. The smaller the opening degree of the first control valve, the smaller the amount of gas supplement required by the medium-pressure cabin of the compressor.
[0106] Optionally, the amount of gas supplement required by the medium-pressure cabin of the compressor is determined according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor. The higher the exhaust temperature, the greater the amount of gas supplement required by the medium-pressure cabin of the compressor, and the greater the opening degree of the first control valve.
[0107] Optionally, the opening degree of the second control valve is proportional to the amount of gas supplement required by the low-pressure cabin of the compressor. The greater the opening degree of the second control valve, the greater the amount of gas supplement required by the low-pressure cabin of the compressor. The smaller the opening degree of the second control valve, the smaller the amount of gas supplement required by the low-pressure cabin of the compressor.
[0108] Optionally, when the second control valve is opened, the first control valve can be closed or opened. Since the second branch is in communication with the low-pressure cabin of the compressor, the pressure of the second branch is lower than that of the first branch. Therefore, whether the first control valve is opened or not, the gaseous refrigerant of the evaporating part of the second economizer will flow into the low-pressure cabin of the compressor through the second branch when the second control valve is opened.
[0109] Optionally, when the heat pump unit includes a third control valve, after controlling the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve according to the evaporation of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the method for controlling the heat pump unit further includes: after confirming that the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporating part of the second economizer is completely evaporated, the processor acquires the exhaust temperature of the compressor or the low-pressure of the heat pump unit; and according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor or the low-pressure of the heat pump unit, the processor controls the opening degrees of the second electronic expansion valve, the first control valve, and the third control valve.
[0110] Optionally, in the case that the low-pressure pressure of the cold and heat unit is less than or equal to the preset pressure, the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to keep the opening degree, and the third control valve is controlled to open, so that the evaporated refrigerant of the evaporating part of the second economizer can flow to the gas-liquid separator and then flow into the low-pressure cabin of the compressor for air supplement and enthalpy increase.
[0111] Optionally, in the case that the discharge temperature of the compressor is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to keep the opening degree, and the first control valve is controlled to open and the third control valve is controlled to close, so that the gaseous refrigerant of the evaporating part of the second economizer can flow into the medium-pressure cabin of the compressor, avoiding being sucked into the low-pressure cabin of the compressor by the third branch.
[0112] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 the disclosure also provides another method for controlling a cold and heat unit, comprising:
[0113] S501, the processor acquires the inlet refrigerant temperature and outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer.
[0114] S502, according to the inlet refrigerant temperature and outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer, the processor controls the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve until the outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer is less than or equal to the condensing temperature threshold.
[0115] S503, the processor acquires the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0116] S504, according to the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor confirms the evaporation condition of the refrigerant exported by the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0117] S505, according to the evaporation condition of the refrigerant exported by the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor controls the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0118] Here, the cold and heat unit dissipates heat through the condenser, the condensing part of the first economizer is located downstream of the condenser, and the evaporation condition of the refrigerant of the condenser can be judged by acquiring the inlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer. When the condensation of the condenser is incomplete, the first electronic expansion valve adjusts the opening degree to make the condensing part of the first economizer exchange heat with the evaporating part of the first economizer, further reducing the temperature of the refrigerant, but when the outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer is less than or equal to the condensing temperature threshold, it can be proved that the refrigerant exported by the condensing part of the first economizer is completely condensed, which can improve the working efficiency of the cold and heat unit and ensure the refrigeration or heating effect.
[0119] Optionally, the condensing temperature threshold is determined according to the pressure detected by the high-pressure pressure sensor. Here, the high-pressure pressure sensor can detect the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the condensing temperature threshold of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser of the cold and heat unit can be calculated, which is the condensing temperature ensuring normal operation of the cold and heat unit.
[0120] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides another method for controlling a cold and heat unit, comprising: Figure 7
[0121] S601, the processor acquires the inlet refrigerant temperature and outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer.
[0122] S602, in the case that the inlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer is greater than the condensing temperature threshold, the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to reduce the opening degree.
[0123] S603, in the case that the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is reduced to the first opening degree, and the outlet real-time refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer is greater than or equal to the condensing temperature threshold, the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to reset and increase the opening degree until the outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer is less than or equal to the condensing temperature threshold.
[0124] S604, the processor acquires the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0125] S605, according to the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor confirms the evaporation condition of the refrigerant exported by the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0126] S606, according to the evaporation condition of the refrigerant exported by the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor controls the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0127] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the refrigerant condensing of the condenser is not complete, the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to reduce the opening degree to reduce the temperature of the evaporating part, and thus improve the condensing effect of the condensing part of the first economizer. When the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve is reduced to the first opening degree, but the outlet refrigerant temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer is still high, it indicates that the refrigerant of the condensing part of the first economizer is still not complete, at this time, the first electronic expansion valve is controlled to reset, and then the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve is increased, which can improve the flow of the evaporating part of the first economizer, so that the first electronic expansion valve still has the throttling effect, but the refrigerant flow of the evaporating part of the first economizer is increased, and the refrigerant flow for heat exchange with the condensing part of the first economizer is also increased, so that the heat dissipation effect of the condensing part of the first economizer is improved, and the temperature of the evaporating part after the first electronic expansion valve is less than the temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer, which can reduce the temperature of the condensing part of the first economizer and improve the condensing effect.
[0128] Optionally, the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to reset and increase the opening degree, wherein the reset refers to the opening degree before the first electronic expansion valve decreases the opening degree.
[0129] Optionally, the condensing temperature threshold is determined according to the high-pressure of the heat pump unit.
[0130] Optionally, the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to decrease the opening degree, including that the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to decrease the opening degree at a third preset speed. For example, the opening degree can be gradually decreased by 1 step, 2 steps or 3 steps per 10 seconds.
[0131] Optionally, the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to reset and increase the opening degree, including that the processor controls the first electronic expansion valve to increase the opening degree at a fourth preset speed. For example, the opening degree can be gradually increased by 1 step, 2 steps or 3 steps per 10 seconds.
[0132] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 8, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides another method for controlling a heat pump unit, including: Figure 8
[0133] S701, the processor acquires the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0134] S702, according to the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor confirms the evaporation condition of the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer.
[0135] S703, according to the evaporation condition of the refrigerant outlet of the evaporating part of the first economizer, the processor controls the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0136] S704, in the case that the outlet refrigerant temperature of the evaporating part of the second economizer is greater than or equal to the evaporation temperature threshold, the processor acquires the high-pressure and low-pressure of the heat pump unit.
[0137] S705, according to the high-pressure and low-pressure of the heat pump unit, the processor confirms the compression ratio of the heat pump unit.
[0138] S706, in the case that the compression ratio of the heat pump unit is greater than the optimal compression ratio, the processor controls the second electronic expansion valve to keep the opening degree, and controls the first control valve to open and the second control valve to close.
[0139] S706, in the case that the high-pressure of the heat pump unit is less than the pressure threshold, the processor controls the second control valve to open until the compressor of the heat pump unit reaches the optimal compression ratio.
[0140] Here, when the compression ratio of the chiller unit is greater than its optimal compression ratio, the second electronic expansion valve is kept open to ensure complete evaporation of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet of the second economizer. The first control valve is opened, and the second control valve is closed to replenish gas to the compressor's intermediate-pressure compartment. If the high-pressure pressure is too low after replenishment, this will lead to an excessively low compression ratio. Therefore, the second control valve is opened to increase the low-pressure pressure and decrease the high-pressure pressure, thereby increasing the compression ratio to maintain it at the optimal level.
[0141] Here, compression ratio refers to the ratio of high pressure to low pressure.
[0142] Optionally, the optimal compression ratio is determined based on the design parameters of the compressors from different manufacturers and series. The optimal compression ratio can be a single value or a range of values.
[0143] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, when the cooling unit is cooling, the outdoor heat exchanger is a condenser and the indoor heat exchanger is an evaporator. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows into the condenser through the four-way valve D pipe and out through the C pipe. After being condensed by the condenser, the liquid refrigerant is subcooled through the condenser section of the first economizer. At this time, the opening of the first electronic expansion valve is adjusted according to the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the first economizer is completely condensed. The condensed refrigerant flows through the liquid storage tank, passes through the throttling device and enters the water-fluorine heat exchanger for heat exchange and cooling. At the same time, the fourth temperature sensor determines whether the refrigerant discharged from the evaporator section of the first economizer has been completely evaporated. If the refrigerant discharged from the evaporator section of the first economizer has not been completely evaporated, the opening of the second electronic expansion valve is controlled so that the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator section of the second economizer is completely evaporated. The opening degrees of the second electronic expansion valve, the first control valve, and the second control valve are adjusted according to the detected exhaust temperature. When the exhaust temperature is too high, the second electronic expansion valve is kept open, the first control valve is opened, and the second control valve is closed to ensure that the gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator of the second economizer can flow into the compressor intermediate pressure chamber to cool the refrigerant in the intermediate pressure chamber, so that the refrigerant can be compressed twice to improve operating efficiency. It can also effectively prevent a large amount of liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor and causing liquid slugging.
[0144] When the heat pump unit is heating, the four-way valve is powered on, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows into the E pipe from the D pipe of the four-way valve and then flows out into the water-fluorine heat exchanger. The liquid refrigerant flowing out of the water-fluorine heat exchanger passes through the first economizer. According to the fourth temperature sensor, it is determined whether the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporation part of the first economizer is completely evaporated. If the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporation part of the first economizer is not completely evaporated, the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to make the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporation part of the second economizer completely evaporated. The opening degrees of the second electronic expansion valve, the first control valve and the second control valve are adjusted according to the detected exhaust temperature at this time. When the exhaust temperature is too high, the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to keep the opening degree, the first control valve is controlled to open, and the second control valve is controlled to close, so as to ensure that the gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the evaporation part of the second economizer can flow into the compression chamber of the compressor, cool the refrigerant in the compression chamber of the compressor, make the refrigerant be compressed twice, improve the operation efficiency, and effectively prevent a large amount of liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor to cause liquid strike. At the same time, when the low-pressure pressure of the heat pump unit is lower than the preset pressure, the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to be fully opened or closed, and the second control valve is controlled to be opened, so as to supplement the air of the system, slow down the frosting speed of the condenser, and improve the heating capacity.
