Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a protective operation control method for the initial start-up of a heat pump hot water supply device. Background Technology

[0002] Heat pump hot water supply systems are widely used in the heating industry. However, prolonged shutdown of these systems in low outdoor temperatures can lead to the following problems:

[0003] 1) The low outdoor ambient temperature leads to a low compressor body temperature. When the hot refrigerant discharged from the compressor exhaust chamber comes into contact with the low-temperature compressor casing, the hot refrigerant is easy to condense into liquid refrigerant inside the compressor. The liquid refrigerant remaining at the bottom of the compressor cylinder will cause the compressor lubricating oil to become less lubricating, reducing the reliability of the whole machine operation.

[0004] 2) Because compressor lubricating oil and refrigerant have good miscibility, and the miscibility between the two increases as the temperature decreases, too much refrigerant dissolved in the lubricating oil will cause the lubricating oil to lose its lubricating properties and reduce the reliability of the whole machine operation.

[0005] The above two situations become more pronounced after the compressor has been shut down for a long time in a low-temperature environment. Therefore, how to reasonably control the operating status of the compressor at the initial stage of startup becomes a key control item in the initial stage of startup control of heat pump hot water supply devices.

[0153] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention can preliminarily determine whether there is a risk to the reliability of the compressor operation in the early stage of the unit's startup by detecting whether the unit meets the continuous power-on conditions before startup.

[0154] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention can determine whether there is a risk to the reliability of the compressor operation during the initial stage of unit startup by using the outdoor ambient temperature. When the outdoor ambient temperature is high, it is determined that there is no risk to the reliability of the whole machine operation. When the outdoor ambient temperature is low, it is determined that there is a high risk to the reliability of the whole machine operation, and the compressor cannot be started directly. The compressor should be started after it has completed preheating.

[0155] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention can classify the potential reliability risks of the unit during the initial startup by detecting the water temperature, and implement different control schemes according to the classification, so as to maximize the hot water heating efficiency while ensuring the overall reliability of the unit.

[0156] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention can statistically analyze whether the unit is powered and the duration of power supply. It can determine whether there is a risk in the initial stage of unit startup based on the duration of power supply and the outdoor ambient temperature. The lower the outdoor ambient temperature, the longer the continuous power supply time required for the unit to meet the continuous power supply requirements.

[0157] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention is also judged to be free of risk in the initial stage of startup if the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than a certain preset judgment threshold and the unit does not meet the continuous power-on requirements; if the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than a certain preset judgment threshold, the compressor preheating function needs to be activated, and the next step is performed after the preheating is completed.

[0158] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention can divide the state of the unit into regions (region ① or region ②) according to the outdoor ambient temperature and the hot water temperature when the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than a certain preset judgment threshold, and preliminarily judge whether there is a risk in the initial stage of unit startup.

[0159] When the unit is located in Zone ②, the circulating water pump stops operating to reduce heat exchange on the refrigerant side and quickly increase the refrigerant temperature.

[0160] When the unit is located in area ①, the whole unit will enter control mode 1, control mode 2 or control mode 3 to operate according to the actual hot water temperature, and the circulating water pump will operate at high, medium or low speed.

[0161] When the heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention operates in control mode 1, control mode 2 or control mode 3, the actual frequency of its compressor is increased by a certain value based on the base frequency.

[0162] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention, when operating in control mode 1, control mode 2 or control mode 3, has a compressor that gradually increases in value based on the base frequency.

[0163] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention has a maximum operating time that gradually increases when operating in control mode 1, control mode 2 or control mode 3.

[0164] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention, when operating in control mode 1, control mode 2 or control mode 3, if the compressor exhaust temperature is higher than the exhaust exit temperature of the previous control mode, reduces the compressor frequency and increases the value.

[0165] The heat pump hot water supply device involved in this invention exits protection operation when the compressor exhaust temperature is higher than a preset threshold or the protection operation time is longer than a preset threshold during the initial start-up protection operation.

[0166] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are merely specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and many variations are possible. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of this invention should be considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
