Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the control field of heat pump air conditioners, and in particular to a heat pump air conditioner with constant temperature dehumidification control. Background Art

[0002] With the development of biopharmaceuticals, high-end food, and electronics industries, people have higher and higher requirements for the refrigeration technology effects in their production links. The traditional constant temperature dehumidification air conditioning unit can no longer meet the high production requirements for the control of clean environment temperature and humidity, and there is an urgent need for air conditioning units with more precise constant temperature dehumidification control.

[0003] Conventional constant temperature dehumidification air conditioners process air and then dehumidify it through an evaporator before reheating it. The reheat source is usually a hot water coil, steam coil, electric heating, etc. with high energy consumption. At the same time, the existing indoor temperature conditions are used as the judgment standard, and three operating modes are set according to the indoor temperature. This solution of independently controlling the indoor absolute humidity value and temperature value during the dehumidification control process, although it solves the user's feeling of coldness in the dehumidification mode, does not consider the mutual influence of temperature and other factors and humidity on the user's body perception, that is, the user's body perception of humidity is not the same as the absolute humidity of the indoor air. Since the temperature compensation in the constant temperature dehumidification mode cannot completely prevent the indoor temperature from changing, the appropriate indoor relative humidity value during the entire constant temperature dehumidification process will also change. Dehumidification control is performed blindly for a set absolute humidity value, which leads to technical problems such as affecting production during the dehumidification process and even too long dehumidification time. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, an object of the present invention is to provide a heat pump air conditioner with constant temperature dehumidification control.

If the temperature rises, it will be cooled to keep the indoor temperature and humidity at a state that provides better user experience.

Based on this setting, the heat pump air conditioner includes a constant temperature dehumidification control method, which includes: when the indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature fluctuation limit, the circulating air is first heated to reduce the relative humidity, and on this basis Then, by monitoring the temperature, the cooling is turned on to offset the temperature rise caused by heating; when the indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature fluctuation limit, the circulating air is first cooled and condensed and dehumidified to make the temperature of the circulating air reach the set temperature fluctuation limit. On this basis, the relationship between the relative humidity and the set humidity fluctuation limit is used to control whether to turn on the heating to further reduce the relative humidity of the circulating air. On this basis, the real-time temperature changes, real-time relative humidity and real-time relative humidity changes are monitored to control the frequency of the refrigeration compressor and the heating compressor to make the indoor temperature and relative humidity within the range set by the user.

[0044] This control method can accurately adjust the temperature and humidity and improve the adjustment speed, so as to provide users with a more comfortable indoor environment and save energy and reduce consumption; at the same time, by adopting a joint control method combining the temperature fluctuation range and the humidity fluctuation range, it can effectively avoid the frequent switching of the heat pump air conditioner in a critical state due to separate control, thereby accelerating the damage of the heat pump air conditioner and extending the service life of the heat pump air conditioner.
