Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of air conditioners, for example, to a gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system and a control method and device thereof, and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing is a technical means for improving heating efficiency in the field of air conditioners, wherein gas supplementing refers to supplementing gas to a refrigerant system, and enthalpy increasing refers to increasing the energy content of the system. In related technologies, for an air conditioner adopting the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing technology, in a high-temperature refrigeration mode, the refrigerant cannot be completely condensed into a liquid state, which can cause a refrigerant sound in the indoor unit, and a high exhaust temperature can trigger a compressor protection frequency limit, which can cause a small exhaust volume and poor refrigeration effect; in a low-temperature heating mode, a large compression ratio of the compressor can cause a decrease in heating capacity, which can cause the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing into the compressor to be in a liquid state, and further can cause a compressor liquid knock phenomenon.

[0003] It can be seen that the air conditioner adopting the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing technology in related technologies has problems such as a large refrigerant sound, poor refrigeration effect, and compressor liquid knock, which affect the stability of the air conditioner operation.

[0017] A second sub-interface of the first condenser and a second sub-interface of the first part of the second condenser are connected with a first sub-interface of the second part of the second condenser through a condensing parallel branch.

[0018] A second sub-interface of the second part of the second condenser serves as the second interface of the condenser.

[0019] In some embodiments, the condensing parallel branch is provided with a third electronic valve.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a control method of a gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system is provided, which is applied to the gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system provided in the first aspect of the present disclosure, and comprises:

The above-mentioned gas supplementing enthalpy increasing system can improve the stability of the air conditioner.

[0054] The term "corresponding" can refer to an association or binding relationship, and A corresponds to B means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0055] In combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air conditioner, which can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a stand-type air conditioner, and an embedded air conditioner, etc. The air conditioner includes a gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system 100, and a control device 200 of the gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system 100. The control device 200 can control the gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system 100 to operate according to the detection data in the gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system 100.

[0056] In combination Figure 2 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system 100, which includes a compressor 1, an indoor unit 2, a condenser 3, a gas-liquid separator 4, an economizer 5, and a four-way valve 6.

[0057] The outlet of the compressor 1, the first interface of the indoor unit 2, the first interface of the condenser 3 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 4 are connected with corresponding valve ports in the four-way valve 6 respectively. Specifically, the four-way valve 6 includes valve ports d, s, c and e, the outlet of the compressor 1 is connected with the valve port d, the first interface of the indoor unit 2 is connected with the valve port e, the first interface of the condenser 3 is connected with the valve port c, and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 4 is connected with the valve port s.

[0058] In combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown in the figure, the first main port a1 and the first auxiliary port b1 of the economizer 5 are both connected with the second interface of the condenser 3, the second main port a2 of the economizer 5 is connected with the second interface of the indoor unit 2, and the second auxiliary port b2 of the economizer 5 is connected with the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 4. The first main port a1 is in communication with the second main port a2, the first auxiliary port b1 is in communication with the second auxiliary port b2, and the branch in which the first auxiliary port b1 is located is provided with the first electronic valve 7. The outlet of the gas-liquid separator 4 is connected with the inlet of the compressor 1 through the first liquid outlet branch 41 and the second liquid outlet branch 42 respectively, and the second liquid outlet branch 42 is provided with the second electronic valve 8. The first main port a1 is provided with the first temperature sensor 9, the second main port a2 is provided with the second temperature sensor 10, and the outlet of the compressor 1 is provided with the high-pressure pressure sensor 11. The high-pressure pressure sensor 11 is used to detect the pressure of the refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the compressor 1.

[0059] In the high-temperature refrigeration mode, the valve port d of the four-way valve 6 is in communication with the valve port c, and the valve port s is in communication with the valve port e. In this case, the outlet of the compressor 1 is in communication with the first interface of the condenser 3, and the first interface of the indoor unit 2 is in communication with the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 4. The refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator 4 flows into the compressor 1 through the first liquid outlet branch 41 and / or the second liquid outlet branch 42, and the compressor 1 pumps the refrigerant into the four-way valve 6 and into the condenser 3. In combination Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the refrigerant flows into the first main port a1 and the first auxiliary port b1 of the economizer 5 after being condensed by the condenser 3. Part of the refrigerant flowing into the economizer 5 flows into the indoor unit 2 through the second main port a2, and another part of the refrigerant flowing into the economizer 5 flows into the gas-liquid separator 4 through the second auxiliary port b2. The refrigerant flowing into the indoor unit 2 flows into the gas-liquid separator 4 through the four-way valve 6. The first temperature sensor 9 is used to detect the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3, and the second temperature sensor 10 is used to detect the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the second main port a2 of the economizer 5.

[0060] In the low-temperature heating mode, the valve port d of the four-way valve 6 is in communication with the valve port e, and the valve port s is in communication with the valve port c. In this case, the first interface of the outlet chamber indoor unit 2 is in communication with the first interface of the condenser 3, and the first interface of the condenser 3 is in communication with the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 4. The refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator 4 flows into the compressor 1 through the first liquid outlet branch 41 and the second liquid outlet branch 42, and the compressor 1 pumps the refrigerant into the four-way valve 6 and into the indoor unit 2. In combination Figure 4 As shown, the refrigerant is liquefied by the indoor unit 2 and then flows into the second main port a2 of the economizer 5. The refrigerant flowing into the economizer 5 flows into the condenser 3 through the first main port a1, and the refrigerant flowing into the condenser 3 flows into the gas-liquid separator 4 through the four-way valve 6.

[0061] In combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the compressor 1, the four-way valve 6, the first electronic valve 7, the second electronic valve 8, the first temperature sensor 9, and the second temperature sensor 10 in the air supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100 are in communication connection with the control device 200. It can be understood that the control device 200 can receive the temperature data collected by the first temperature sensor 9 and the second temperature sensor 10, the control device 200 can control the start-stop state and power of the compressor 1, the control device 200 can control the communication state between the valve ports of the four-way valve 6, and the control device 200 can control the opening and closing state and the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 and the second electronic valve 8.

[0062] In the high-temperature refrigeration mode, the control device 200 can adjust the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 based on the data detected by the high-pressure pressure sensor 11, the first temperature sensor 9, and the second temperature sensor 10. In addition, in the high-temperature refrigeration mode, the control device 200 adjusts the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8 when it is determined that the exhaust gas temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold. In the low-temperature heating mode, the control device 200 can adjust the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8 when it is determined that the compression ratio of the compressor 1 exceeds the preset compression ratio threshold.

[0063] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100, an economizer 5 is introduced, and the economizer 5 is in communication with a condenser 3 and a gas-liquid separator 4 respectively. In the high-temperature refrigeration mode, data detected by a high-pressure pressure sensor 11, a first temperature sensor 9 and a second temperature sensor 10 can determine whether the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3 is not completely condensed into a liquid state. When it is determined that the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3 is not completely condensed into a liquid state, the flow of the refrigerant flowing back to the gas-liquid separator 4 from the economizer 5 is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7, which not only reduces the flow of the gaseous refrigerant entering the indoor unit 2 in real time, but also liquefies the gaseous refrigerant again, thereby improving the liquefaction degree of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3, and reducing the refrigerant sound generated by the indoor unit 2. In addition, in the high-temperature refrigeration mode or the low-temperature heating mode, when the exhaust gas temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold or the compression ratio of the compressor 1 exceeds the preset compression ratio threshold, the flow of the liquid refrigerant entering the compressor 1 is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8, thereby overcoming the problem that the small exhaust gas volume caused by the high exhaust gas temperature in the high-temperature refrigeration mode triggers the frequency limiting of the compressor 1, maintaining stable refrigeration effect, and reducing the proportion of the liquid refrigerant entering the compressor 1 in the low-temperature heating mode, reducing the phenomenon of liquid strike of the compressor 1. It can be seen that the above-mentioned gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100 can overcome the problems of excessive refrigerant sound, poor refrigeration effect and liquid strike of the compressor 1, and improve the stability of air conditioner operation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the direction of the path from the first main port a1 to the second main port a2 is opposite to the direction of the path from the first auxiliary port b1 to the second auxiliary port b2. Specifically, the first main port a1 and the second auxiliary port b2 are located at one end of the economizer 5, and the second main port a2 and the first auxiliary port b1 are located at the other end of the economizer 5. In the high-temperature refrigeration mode, the direction of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3 from the first main port a1 to the second main port a2 is opposite to the direction of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3 from the first auxiliary port b1 to the second auxiliary port b2.

[0065] It can be understood that in the high-temperature refrigeration mode, the two streams of refrigerant in the economizer 5 flow in opposite directions, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency. This counter-flow arrangement can make the temperature gradient in the heat exchange process more uniform, thereby promoting more efficient heat transfer. Moreover, the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3 may not be completely liquefied. By letting this part of the refrigerant flow in the economizer 5 in the opposite direction of the already partially cooled refrigerant (also from the condenser 3, but through the other end of the economizer 5), the liquefaction of this part of the refrigerant can be further promoted. This not only helps to improve the refrigeration efficiency, but also can reduce the problem of refrigerant sound caused by the unliquefied refrigerant entering the indoor unit 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second liquid outlet branch 42 is further provided with a one-way valve 12, and the second electronic valve 8 is in series with the one-way valve 12. The one-way valve 12 can prevent the refrigerant in the compressor 1 from flowing back to the gas-liquid separator 4 through the second liquid outlet branch 42.

[0067] In some embodiments, the gas supplement and enthalpy increasing system 100 further comprises a refrigerant radiator 13 arranged in a branch between the second main port a2 of the economizer 5 and the second interface of the indoor unit 2. In the high-temperature refrigeration mode, part of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 3 is cooled through the heat exchange of the economizer 5, and then enters the refrigerant radiator 13 through the second main port a2. In the refrigerant radiator 13, the refrigerant is further cooled, and then enters the indoor unit 2 through the second interface of the indoor unit 2. The refrigerant radiator 13 further reduces the temperature of the refrigerant by exchanging heat with external air or other cooling media, so as to further liquefy the refrigerant. In the low-temperature heating mode, the refrigerant radiator 13 has relatively less effect, because at this time the refrigerant is mainly liquefied in the indoor unit 2, and then flows back to the condenser 3 through the economizer 5. However, the refrigerant radiator 13 can still play a certain auxiliary role to ensure that the refrigerant is in a suitable state before entering the indoor unit 2.

[0068] In some embodiments, the condenser 3 comprises a first condenser 31 and a second condenser 32, the first condenser 31 and a first part 32a of the second condenser 32 are connected in parallel to form a first condensing unit, and a second part 32b of the second condenser 32 is connected in series with the first condensing unit.

[0069] The parallel connection of the first condenser 31 and the first part 32a of the second condenser 32 can increase the total heat exchange area of the condenser 3. The parallel design allows the refrigerant to be condensed through two paths at the same time, increasing the surface area of condensation and thus improving the condensation efficiency. The second part 32b of the second condenser 32 is connected in series with the first condensing unit, which can further improve the condensation degree of the refrigerant. Through the series design, the refrigerant is preliminarily condensed through the parallel part, and then further condensed through the series part, to ensure that the refrigerant is liquefied as much as possible.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first sub-interface of the first condenser 31 and the first sub-interface of the first part 32a of the second condenser 32 jointly serve as the first interface of the condenser 3. The second sub-interface of the first condenser 31 and the second sub-interface of the first part 32a of the second condenser 32 are connected to the first sub-interface of the second part 32b of the second condenser 32 through a condensing parallel branch. The second sub-interface of the second part 32b of the second condenser 32 serves as the second interface of the condenser 3.

[0071] In some embodiments, the condensing parallel branch is provided with a third electronic valve 14. The third electronic valve 14 can adjust the opening degree of the condensing parallel branch, thereby controlling the refrigerant flow into the first part 32a of the second condenser 32. By adjusting the opening degree of the third electronic valve 14, the flow distribution of the refrigerant in the parallel part can be ensured to be more uniform, and the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 3 can be improved. In addition, under different environmental temperature and load conditions, the demand of the system can change. By adjusting the third electronic valve 14, the heat exchange area and flow of the condenser 3 can be dynamically adjusted, so that the system can maintain the best operating state under various working conditions.

[0072] In some embodiments, the gas injection and enthalpy increasing system 100 further comprises a gas pipe stop valve 15, and the branch between the first interface of the indoor unit 2 and the four-way valve 6 is provided with the gas pipe stop valve 15, and the branch between the second main port a2 of the economizer 5 and the second interface of the indoor unit 2 is provided with the gas pipe stop valve 15.

[0073] In some embodiments, the outlet of the compressor 1 is provided with a high-pressure switch 16, and the high-pressure switch 16 is in series with the high-pressure pressure sensor 11.

[0074] In some embodiments, the gas injection and enthalpy increasing system 100 further comprises a low-pressure pressure sensor 17, and the low-pressure pressure sensor 17 is arranged at the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 4.

[0075] In combination with the gas injection and enthalpy increasing system 100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method of the gas injection and enthalpy increasing system 100 in a high-temperature refrigeration mode, comprising: in the high-temperature refrigeration mode, based on the data detected by the high-pressure pressure sensor 11, the first temperature sensor 9 and the second temperature sensor 10, adjusting the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7.

[0076] In some embodiments, the control device 200 can calculate the current condensation temperature of the refrigerant according to the pressure value detected by the high-pressure pressure sensor 11, obtain the first temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 9 and the second temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 10. When the first temperature is higher than the condensation temperature, the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is adjusted so that the second temperature is lower than the condensation temperature.

[0077] Specifically, when the first temperature is higher than the condensation temperature, the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is gradually reduced, and the change of the first temperature is detected in real time. If the first temperature continues to rise, the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is reset, and then the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is gradually increased, and the adjustment of the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is stopped when the second temperature is detected to be lower than the condensation temperature. If the first temperature continues to decrease, the adjustment of the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is stopped when the second temperature is detected to be lower than the condensation temperature.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is gradually reduced, the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 can be reduced according to a preset opening degree change rate (for example, 2 steps per 10 seconds).

[0079] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 is gradually increased, the opening degree of the first electronic valve 7 can be increased according to a preset opening degree change rate (for example, 2 steps per 10 seconds).

[0080] In combination with the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide another control method of the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100 in the high-temperature refrigeration mode, which comprises: in the high-temperature refrigeration mode, adjusting the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8 when it is determined that the exhaust temperature exceeds a preset temperature threshold.

[0081] In some embodiments, a temperature threshold (for example, 95°C) can be preset. In the high-temperature refrigeration mode, it can be determined in real time whether the exhaust temperature exceeds the temperature threshold. When it is determined that the exhaust temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8 is increased to supplement more gaseous refrigerant for the compressor 1, so as to reduce the exhaust temperature, thereby overcoming the problem that the small exhaust volume caused by the frequency limiting of the compressor 1 triggered by the high exhaust temperature in the high-temperature refrigeration mode, and the stable refrigeration effect can be maintained.

[0082] In combination with the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method of the gas supplementing and enthalpy increasing system 100 in the low-temperature heating mode, which comprises: in the low-temperature heating mode, adjusting the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8 when it is determined that the compression ratio of the compressor 1 exceeds a preset compression ratio threshold.

[0083] In some embodiments, a compression ratio threshold can be preset. In the low-temperature heating mode, it can be determined in real time whether the compression ratio of the compressor 1 exceeds the compression ratio threshold. When it is determined that the compression ratio of the compressor 1 exceeds the compression ratio threshold, the opening degree of the second electronic valve 8 is increased to supplement more gaseous refrigerant for the compressor 1, so as to effectively reduce the phenomenon of liquid knock of the compressor 1, and also reduce the compression ratio, protect the system safety, and improve the heating efficiency.
