[0040] As Figure 2 shown, the air conditioning system comprises the compressor 1, the first heat exchanger 4, the first throttling device (preferably a first electronic expansion valve) 5, the flasher 6, the second throttling device (preferably a second electronic expansion valve) 7 and an indoor heat exchanger, the flasher 6 is connected between the first throttling device 5 and the second throttling device 7, the inlet end of the flasher is connected with the first heat exchanger 4, the gas outlet end of the flasher 6 is connected with the gas supplement end of the compressor, one end of the first heat exchanger 4 is connected with the first throttling device (preferably a first electronic expansion valve) 5, the other end is connected with the gas discharge end or the gas suction end of the compressor, and the indoor heat exchanger is connected between the second throttling device (preferably a second electronic expansion valve) 7 and the gas discharge end or the gas suction end of the compressor.

[0041] The compressor 1 is a three-cylinder parallel compressor. The three-cylinder parallel compressor 1 comprises a compressor parallel gas supplement cylinder 1a, a compressor first main cylinder 1b and a compressor second main cylinder 1c. The compressor parallel gas supplement cylinder 1a, the compressor first main cylinder 1b and the compressor second main cylinder 1c. The gas suction end of the compressor parallel gas supplement cylinder 1a is a gas supplement end and is in communication with the gas outlet end of the flasher 6, and the gas discharge ends of the compressor first main cylinder 1b, the compressor second main cylinder 1c and the compressor parallel gas supplement cylinder 1a are in communication.

[0042] The indoor heat exchanger comprises a second heat exchanger 9 and a third heat exchanger 10, the second heat exchanger 9 is in communication with the second main cylinder 1c of the compressor, the third heat exchanger 10 is in communication with the first main cylinder 1b of the compressor, one end of the third heat exchanger 10 is in communication with the pipeline where the second heat exchanger 9 is located after being in communication with the third throttling device (preferably a third electronic expansion valve) 8, and the pipeline after being merged is in communication with the second throttling device (preferably a second electronic expansion valve) 7.

[0043] The air conditioning system further comprises a first four-way valve 2 and a second four-way valve 3, the D end of the first four-way valve 2 is in communication with the exhaust end of the compressor 1, the E end is in communication with the second heat exchanger 9, the S end is in communication with the second main cylinder 1c of the compressor, and the C end is in communication with the first heat exchanger 4, the D end of the second four-way valve 3 is in communication with the exhaust end of the compressor 1, the E end is in communication with the third heat exchanger 10, the S end is in communication with the first main cylinder 1b of the compressor, and the C end is in communication with the first heat exchanger 4.

[0044] The air conditioning system comprises a first refrigerant circuit, a second refrigerant circuit and a third refrigerant circuit. The first refrigerant circuit is composed of the first main cylinder 1b of the compressor, the first four-way valve 2, the first heat exchanger 4, the first throttling device 5, the flash evaporator 6, the second throttling device 7, the second heat exchanger 9 and the auxiliary pipeline system; the second refrigerant circuit is composed of the second main cylinder 1c of the compressor, the second four-way valve 3, the first heat exchanger 4, the first throttling device 5, the flash evaporator 6, the second throttling device 7, the third throttling device 8, the third heat exchanger 10 and the auxiliary pipeline system; and the third refrigerant circuit is composed of the parallel air charging cylinder 1a of the compressor, the first four-way valve 2, the first heat exchanger 4, the first throttling device 5, the flash evaporator 6 and the auxiliary pipeline system.

The other path passes through the third throttling device 8 and enters the third heat exchanger 10, where it absorbs heat from the indoor air and evaporates. Then, it passes through the second four-way valve 3 and enters the compressor's first main cylinder 1b to complete the second refrigerant cycle.

[0046] In view of the above-mentioned three-pipe dual-temperature parallel compression system and similar multi-throttling device (electronic expansion valve) system, this invention proposes a control method and control device for an air conditioning system.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the control method for an air conditioning system provided by the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioning system includes at least steps S110, S120 and S130.

[0049] Step S110: When the air conditioning system is running in cooling mode, determine whether the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold.

[0050] After the air conditioning system is turned on for heating, the compressor frequency, outdoor fan speed, and / or indoor fan speed of the air conditioning system are determined based on the outdoor ambient temperature, indoor ambient temperature, and indoor set temperature. The initial opening degrees of the first, second, and third throttling devices are also determined. The operation of the air conditioning system is controlled based on the determined compressor frequency, outdoor fan speed, and / or indoor fan speed, and the determined initial opening degrees of the first, second, and third throttling devices. During the operation of the air conditioning system, the opening degrees of the first, second, and third throttling devices can also be adjusted according to the operating parameters of the air conditioning system.

[0051] The compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and / or the indoor fan speed of the air conditioning system are determined according to the outdoor environment temperature, the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature according to the pre-set value in the starting stage. If the current running mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the initial opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device are determined according to the compressor frequency, the indoor environment temperature and the outdoor environment temperature, wherein the initial opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device corresponding to different compressor frequencies, indoor environment temperatures and outdoor environment temperatures can be determined by experiments in advance.

[0052] The first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device can be electronic expansion valves. When the air conditioner receives the starting instruction, the compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and / or the indoor fan speed are operated according to the pre-set value in the starting stage according to the indoor and outdoor environment temperatures detected by the temperature sensing bags and the user set temperature, and the opening degrees of the outdoor electronic expansion valves (the first and second electronic expansion valves) and the indoor electronic expansion valve (the third electronic expansion valve) are calculated according to the detected temperatures.

[0053] Preferably, after the air conditioning system is started and operated for a pre-set time, it is judged whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a pre-set temperature difference threshold. Specifically, after the air conditioning system is started and operated for a first pre-set time T1, it is judged whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature t 内环 and the set temperature t 设 is greater than or equal to a pre-set temperature difference threshold a, i.e. whether t 内环 -t 设 ≥ a. The first pre-set time T1 has a value range of 2-10 minutes. The pre-set temperature difference threshold a has a value range of 0-5℃, and is preferably 2℃. The indoor environment temperature t 内环 can be collected by the environment temperature sensing bag arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioner; and the set temperature t 设 can be set by the user.

[0054] In step S120, if it is judged that the temperature difference is less than the pre-set temperature difference threshold, the predicted noise of the third throttling device is determined according to the middle part temperature of the second heat exchanger flow path and the middle part temperature of the third heat exchanger flow path.

[0055] That is, if t 内环 -t 设 ≥ a is not satisfied, the predicted noise of the third throttling device is determined according to the middle part temperature of the second heat exchanger flow path and the middle part temperature of the third heat exchanger flow path. The middle part temperatures t e_h and t e_lThe temperature can be collected by temperature sensors located in the middle of the flow paths of the second and third heat exchangers, respectively; exhaust temperature t dis Temperature can be collected by a temperature sensor placed on the compressor exhaust pipe; the compressor frequency f can be detected by the system.

[0056] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a specific embodiment of the steps for determining the predicted noise of the third throttling device based on the mid-flow temperatures of the second and third heat exchangers is shown. Figure 3 As shown, step S120 includes steps S121, S122 and S123.

[0057] Step S121: Calculate the maximum mass flow rate in the third throttling device based on the midpoint temperature of the second heat exchanger flow path and the midpoint temperature of the third heat exchanger flow path.

[0058] Specifically, the pressure difference before and after the third throttling device and the saturated liquid density at the inlet of the third throttling device are calculated based on the temperature at the middle of the flow path of the second heat exchanger and the temperature at the middle of the flow path of the third heat exchanger. The maximum mass flow rate inside the third throttling device is then calculated based on the pressure difference before and after the third throttling device and the saturated liquid density at the inlet of the third throttling device.

[0059] The temperature t in the middle of the flow path of the second heat exchanger e_h Specifically, it can be the temperature in the middle of the flow path of the second heat exchanger; the temperature t in the middle of the flow path of the third heat exchanger. e_l Specifically, it can be the temperature at the middle of the flow path of the third heat exchanger; the temperature t at the middle of the flow paths of the second and third heat exchangers. e_h t e_l The data can be collected by temperature sensors located in the middle of the flow paths of the second and third heat exchangers, respectively.

[0060] Pressure difference ΔP=a*(t1) 2 -t2 2 )+b*(t1-t2), where t1 and t2 are the saturation temperatures before and after the throttling device (valve), respectively; a and b are the fitting coefficients related to refrigerant properties (the values ​​of the same fitting coefficients are different in different fitting correlations in this invention), the temperature in the middle of the flow path of the second and third heat exchangers is the saturation temperature before and after the valve of the third throttling device, then the pressure difference ΔP before and after the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) is... r3 for:

[0061] ΔP r3 =a*(t) e_h 2 -t e_l 2 )+b*(t e_h -t e_l )

[0062] For example, if the refrigerant is R32, then based on the physical properties of R32 refrigerant and the above formula, the pressure difference ΔP across the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) can be obtained. r3 For: ΔP r3 =509.46*(t) e_h 2 -t e_l 2 )+20853*(t e_h -t e_l ).

[0063] The refrigerant saturated liquid density ρ = a*t*t + b*t + c, where t is the refrigerant temperature, and a, b, and c are fitting coefficients related to the refrigerant properties (in this invention, the values ​​of the same fitting coefficients differ in different fitting correlations). Therefore, the inlet saturated liquid density ρ of the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) is... r3 For: ρ r3 =a*t e_h *t e_h -bt e_h +c; For example, if the refrigerant is R32, then based on the physical properties of R32 refrigerant and the above formula, the inlet saturated liquid density ρ of the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) can be obtained by fitting. r3 For: ρ r3 =-0.031*t e_h *t e_h -2.7548t e_h +1051.3;

[0064] After calculating the pressure difference across the third throttling device and the saturated liquid density at the inlet of the third throttling device, the maximum mass flow rate within the third throttling device is calculated based on the pressure difference across the third throttling device and the saturated liquid density at the inlet of the third throttling device.

[0065] The maximum mass flow rate G within the third throttling device is given by: G = a * ρ * (ΔP) 0.5 'a' represents the fitting coefficient related to the refrigerant properties (the same fitting coefficient has different values ​​in different fitting correlations in this invention).

[0066] For example, if the refrigerant is R32, then based on the physical properties of R32 refrigerant and the above formula, the maximum mass flow rate G in the third throttling device can be obtained as G = 0.0283 * ρ * (ΔP). 0.5 .

[0067] Step S122: Calculate the inlet dryness of the third throttling device based on the temperature in the middle of the flow path of the second heat exchanger.

[0068] Specifically, the saturated liquid enthalpy and latent heat of phase change of the second heat exchanger are calculated based on the temperature at the middle of the flow path of the second heat exchanger. The inlet dryness fraction of the third throttling device is then calculated based on the saturated liquid enthalpy and latent heat of phase change of the second heat exchanger.

[0069] The specific enthalpy h of the subcooled or saturated refrigerant is given by: h = a*t*t + b*t + c, where a, b, and c are values ​​obtained from refrigerant property software. Then, the saturated liquid enthalpy h of the second heat exchanger is given by: e_h_f for:

[0070] h e_h_f =a*t e_h *t e_h +b*t e_h +c.

[0071] For example, if the refrigerant is R32, then based on the physical properties of R32 refrigerant and the above formula, the saturated liquid enthalpy h of the second heat exchanger can be obtained by fitting the equation. e_h_f for:

[0072] h e_h_f =0.0039*t e_h *t e_h +1.7246*t e_h +200.06.

[0073] The latent heat of phase change of the refrigerant, h = a*t*t + b*t + c, where a, b, and c are fitting coefficients related to the refrigerant's physical properties (the values ​​of the same fitting coefficients differ in different fitting correlations in this invention). Therefore, the latent heat of phase change of the second heat exchanger, h... e_h_fg =a*t e_h *t e_h -b*t e_h +c.

[0074] For example, if the refrigerant is R32, then the latent heat of phase change h of the second heat exchanger can be obtained by fitting the physical property parameters of R32. e_h_fg For: h e_h_fg =-0.0181*t e_h *t e_h -1.1988*t e_h +313.22.

[0075] Specifically, the inlet dryness fraction of the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) x3 = (h f -h e_h_f ) / h e_h_fg .

[0076] Among them, h fThe flash vessel outlet temperature is calculated by a fitting formula using the first heat exchanger outlet temperature, the second heat exchanger middle temperature, the third heat exchanger middle temperature and the frequency. f = f(tc_o, t suc_h_sat , t suc_l_sat , f), h f = t ft_target = 0.5*tc_o+0.25*t suc_h_sat +0.25*t suc_l_sat +a*f+c, wherein tc_o is the first heat exchanger outlet temperature, t suc_h_sat is the high temperature suction saturation temperature, t suc_l_sat is the low temperature suction saturation temperature, a and c are fitting coefficients, the same fitting coefficients in different fitting formulas in the present application have different values, and f is the compressor frequency. The high temperature evaporation temperature (high temperature suction saturation temperature) t suc_h_sat = the second heat exchanger middle temperature t e_h -high temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_h , the high temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_h = f(f); the high temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_h is related to the compressor frequency f, for example, dt sat_suc_h = a*f*f+b*f+c, wherein a, b and c are fitting coefficients, the same fitting coefficients in different fitting formulas in the present application have different values. The low temperature evaporation temperature (low temperature suction saturation temperature) t suc_l_sat = the third heat exchanger middle temperature t e_l -low temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_l , the low temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_l = f(f); f(f) is obtained by fitting experimental data. The low temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_l is related to the compressor frequency f, for example, dt sat_suc_l = a*f*f+b*f+c, wherein a, b and c are fitting coefficients, the same fitting coefficients in different fitting formulas in the present application have different values. The first heat exchanger outlet temperature tc_o, the second heat exchanger middle temperature t e_h and the third heat exchanger middle temperature t e_l are detected by temperature sensing bags.

[0077] In step S123, the predicted noise of the third throttling device is calculated according to the maximum mass flow rate in the third throttling device and the third throttling device inlet dryness.

[0078] The third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) Z = a*G2 +b*G+c*x+d, wherein a ranges from -6.3*10 -7 <0, preferably -2.38*10 -7 , b ranges from 3.3*10 -3 <8.5*10 -3 , preferably 5.86*10 -3 , c ranges from 0 to 250, preferably 25.63, and d ranges from -15 to 17, preferably 0.873.

[0079] Step S130, adjusting the opening degree of the first throttling device and the second throttling device, or adjusting the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioning system and the opening degree of the second throttling device, according to the predicted noise.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the opening degree of the first throttling device and the second throttling device is adjusted according to the predicted noise to reduce the noise of the third throttling device. Specifically, it is judged whether the predicted noise of the third throttling device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value; if it is judged that the predicted noise is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the opening degree of the first throttling device is controlled to decrease and the opening degree of the second throttling device is controlled to increase.

[0081] The first opening degree threshold value is the lower limit of the opening degree of the first throttling device, and the second opening degree threshold value is the upper limit of the opening degree of the second throttling device. If it is judged that the predicted noise is less than a preset threshold value, the step of judging whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold value is returned.

[0082] For example, when the third electronic expansion valve predicted noise Z satisfies Z 内环 设 ≥a), the value of b ranges from 25 to 36 dB(A); when Z≥b, it is considered that the noise has affected the indoor comfort, the first electronic expansion valve opening degree B1 is adjusted to decrease and the second electronic expansion valve opening degree B2 is adjusted to increase.

[0083] The above operation is used to reduce the noise by reducing the inlet dryness of the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve). The first throttling device (first electronic expansion valve) opening degree is reduced, the flash gas temperature is reduced, thereby the second throttling device (second electronic expansion valve) inlet specific enthalpy is reduced, and finally the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) inlet dryness is reduced. This process requires the second throttling device (second electronic expansion valve) opening degree to be adjusted to increase (dryness is further reduced) to compensate for the total pressure drop. ​

[0084] Further, after controlling the opening of the first throttling device to decrease and the opening of the second throttling device to increase, when the opening of the first throttling device is less than or equal to a first preset opening threshold, or the opening of the second throttling device is greater than or equal to a second preset opening threshold, the current openings of the first throttling device and the second throttling device are maintained.

[0085] After the opening of the first electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease and the opening of the second electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase according to the control logic, if the opening B1 of the first electronic expansion valve is less than or equal to c (a first preset opening threshold), or the opening B2 of the second electronic expansion valve is greater than or equal to d (a second preset opening threshold), the current openings are maintained; otherwise, the step of judging whether t 内环 -t 设 a is returned. Wherein the first preset opening threshold c is a lower limit of the opening of the first electronic expansion valve, and the second preset opening threshold d is an upper limit of the opening of the second electronic expansion valve.

[0086] In another specific embodiment, according to the predicted noise, the opening of the second throttling device and the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioning system are adjusted to reduce the noise of the third throttling device. Specifically, it is judged whether the predicted noise of the third throttling device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold; if it is judged that the predicted noise is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the opening of the second throttling device is controlled to increase, and the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioning system is controlled to increase.

[0087] For example, when the predicted noise Z of the third electronic expansion valve satisfies Z < b (a preset threshold), at this time, it is considered that the noise is small and does not affect the indoor comfort, and each control parameter is maintained unchanged, and the step of judging whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold (t 内环 -t 设 a) is returned; the value of b is in the range of 25-36 dB (A); when Z ≥ b, it is considered that the noise has affected the indoor comfort, the rotation speed R0 of the outdoor fan is increased, and the opening B2 of the second electronic expansion valve is increased.

[0088] By this operation, the noise is reduced by decreasing the inlet dryness of the third electronic expansion valve. The rotation speed of the outdoor fan is increased, the cold outlet temperature is decreased, and the flash liquid temperature is synchronously decreased.

[0089] Further, after controlling the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioning system to increase and the opening of the second throttling device to increase, when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan is greater than or equal to a preset rotation speed, or the opening of the second throttling device is greater than or equal to a second preset opening threshold, the current rotation speed of the outdoor fan and the current opening of the second throttling device are maintained.

[0090] After the control logic increases the outdoor fan rotating speed Ro and the second electronic expansion valve opening B2, if the second electronic expansion valve opening B2≥d (second preset opening threshold) or the outdoor fan rotating speed Ro≥e is met, the opening is kept; otherwise, the step of returning to the judgment t 内环 -t 设 ≥a is returned to. Wherein, the second preset opening threshold d is the upper limit of the second electronic expansion valve opening, and e is the upper limit of the outdoor fan rotating speed.

[0091] According to the above embodiment of the present application, by reducing the first throttling device (first electronic expansion valve) opening, the flash liquid specific enthalpy is reduced to reduce the third electronic expansion valve inlet dryness and the valve mass flow, and at the same time, the second throttling device (second electronic expansion valve) opening needs to be increased to compensate for the total pressure drop; or, by increasing the outdoor fan rotating speed, the outdoor heat exchanger heat exchange effect is improved to reduce the outdoor heat exchanger cold outlet temperature, thereby reducing the flash liquid specific enthalpy and the third electronic expansion valve inlet dryness and the valve mass flow, and at the same time, the second throttling device (second electronic expansion valve) opening needs to be increased to compensate for the total pressure drop.

[0092] To clearly illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, the execution flow of the control method of the air conditioning system provided by the present application is described below with several specific embodiments.

[0093] Figure 4 is a method schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the control method of the air conditioning system provided by the present application. As shown in Figure 4 , the air conditioning system is running in refrigeration mode, and according to the indoor environment temperature, the outdoor environment temperature, the set temperature, the set indoor unit wind speed and the electronic expansion valve control algorithm, the system operating parameters and the three electronic expansion valve openings B1, B2 and B3 are determined and controlled.

[0094] After running for T1 time, the indoor ring temperature sensor temperature t 内环 is detected and compared with the set temperature t 设 . If t 内环 -t 设 ≥a, the control is continued, otherwise, the next step is entered; according to the system detection parameters, the third electronic expansion valve predicted noise total value Z is calculated. When the third electronic expansion valve predicted noise total value meets Z 内环 , the set temperature t 设 is compared. When Z≥b, it is considered that the noise has affected the indoor comfort, the first electronic expansion valve opening is reduced and the second electronic expansion valve opening is increased to reduce the noise. If the first electronic expansion valve opening B1≤c or the second electronic expansion valve opening B2≥d is met, the current openings of the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve are kept; otherwise, the step of returning to compare the indoor ring temperature sensor temperature t 内环The temperature t 设 comparing step.

[0095] Figure 5 is a method schematic diagram of another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioning system provided by the present application. As shown in the figure, the air conditioning system is running in refrigeration mode, and according to the indoor environment temperature, the outdoor environment temperature, the set temperature, the set indoor unit wind range and the electronic expansion valve control algorithm, the system operating parameters and the three electronic expansion valve openings B1, B2 and B3 are determined and controlled. Figure 5

[0096] After running for T1 time, the indoor ring temperature sensing bulb temperature t 内环 is detected and compared with the set temperature t 设 . If t 内环 -t 设 ≥a, the control continues, otherwise, the next step is entered; according to the system detection parameters, the third electronic expansion valve predicted noise total value Z is calculated. When the third electronic expansion valve predicted noise total value satisfies Z < b, it is considered that the noise is small and will not affect the indoor comfort, and the control parameters remain unchanged, and the step of comparing the indoor ring temperature sensing bulb temperature t 内环 with the set temperature t 设 is returned. When Z ≥ b, it is considered that the noise has affected the indoor comfort, and the outdoor fan speed Ro and the second electronic expansion valve opening B2 are adjusted. If the second electronic expansion valve opening B2 ≥ d or the outdoor fan speed Ro ≥ e, the outdoor fan speed and the second electronic expansion valve opening are kept; otherwise, the step of comparing the indoor ring temperature sensing bulb temperature t 内环 with the set temperature t 设 is returned.

[0097] Figure 6 is a structure block diagram of an embodiment of the control device of the air conditioning system provided by the present application. As shown in the figure, the control device 100 of the air conditioning system comprises a judgment unit 110, a determination unit 120 and an adjustment unit 130. Figure 6

[0098] The judgment unit 110 is used for judging whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold when the air conditioning system is running in refrigeration mode.

[0099] ​​Specifically, after the air conditioning system is started to heat, the compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and / or the indoor fan speed of the air conditioning system are determined according to the outdoor environment temperature, the indoor environment temperature and the indoor set temperature, and the initial opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device are determined; the air conditioning system is controlled to operate according to the determined compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and / or the indoor fan speed and the determined initial opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device. During the operation of the air conditioning system, the opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device can also be adjusted according to the operating parameters of the air conditioning system.

[0100] The compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and / or the indoor fan speed of the air conditioning system are determined according to the outdoor environment temperature, the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature according to the pre-set values in the start-up stage. If the current operating mode of the air conditioning is the cooling mode, the initial opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device are determined according to the compressor frequency, the indoor environment temperature and the outdoor environment temperature, wherein the initial opening degrees of the first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device corresponding to different compressor frequencies, indoor environment temperatures and outdoor environment temperatures can be determined by experiments in advance.

[0101] The first throttling device, the second throttling device and the third throttling device can be electronic expansion valves. After the air conditioning receives a start-up instruction, the compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and / or the indoor fan speed operate according to the pre-set values in the start-up stage according to the indoor and outdoor environment temperatures detected by the temperature sensing bags and the user set temperature, and the opening degrees of the outdoor electronic expansion valves (the first and second electronic expansion valves) and the indoor electronic expansion valve (the third electronic expansion valve) are calculated according to the temperatures detected by the temperature sensing bags.

[0102] Preferably, after the air conditioning system is started to operate for a pre-set time, it is judged whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a pre-set temperature difference threshold. Specifically, after the air conditioning system is started to operate for a first pre-set time T1, it is judged whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature t 内环 and the set temperature t 设 is greater than or equal to a pre-set temperature difference threshold a, i.e. whether t 内环 -t 设 ≥a. The first pre-set time T1 has a value range of 2-10 minutes. The pre-set temperature difference threshold a has a value range of 0-5℃, and is preferably 2℃. The indoor environment temperature t 内环 can be collected by the environment temperature sensing bag arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioning, and the set temperature t 设 can be set by the user.

[0103] The determining unit 120 is configured to determine the predicted noise of the third throttling device according to the second heat exchanger midstream temperature and the third heat exchanger midstream temperature if the judging unit judges that the temperature difference is less than the preset temperature difference threshold.

[0104] That is, if t 内环 -t 设 ≥a is not satisfied, the predicted noise of the third throttling device is determined according to the second heat exchanger midstream temperature and the third heat exchanger midstream temperature. The second and third heat exchanger midstream temperatures t e_h , t e_l may be collected by temperature sensing bulbs arranged at the midstream positions of the second and third heat exchangers respectively. dis The exhaust temperature t e_h may be collected by a temperature sensing bulb arranged on the compressor exhaust pipe. e_l The compressor frequency f may be detected by the system.

[0105] In a specific embodiment, the determining unit 120 determines the predicted noise of the third throttling device according to the second heat exchanger midstream temperature and the third heat exchanger midstream temperature, which includes steps S121, S122 and S123.

[0106] Step S121 calculates the maximum mass flow rate in the third throttling device according to the second heat exchanger midstream temperature and the third heat exchanger midstream temperature.

[0107] Specifically, the pressure difference before and after the third throttling device and the third throttling device inlet saturated liquid density are calculated according to the second heat exchanger midstream temperature and the third heat exchanger midstream temperature, and the maximum mass flow rate in the third throttling device is calculated according to the pressure difference before and after the third throttling device and the third throttling device inlet saturated liquid density.

[0108] The second heat exchanger midstream temperature t e_h may be specifically the second heat exchanger midstream temperature. The third heat exchanger midstream temperature t e_l may be specifically the third heat exchanger midstream temperature. The second and third heat exchanger midstream temperatures t e_h , t e_l may be collected by temperature sensing bulbs arranged at the midstream positions of the second and third heat exchangers respectively.

[0109] The pressure difference ΔP=a*(t 2 -t2 2)+b*(t1-t2), wherein t1 and t2 are the saturation temperatures before and after the throttling device (valve), respectively, and a and b are fitting coefficients related to the properties of the refrigerant (the values of the same fitting coefficients are different in different fitting correlations in the present application); the temperature at the middle of the flow path of the second and third heat exchangers, i.e. the saturation temperatures before and after the valve of the third throttling device, is t r3 .

[0110] ΔP r3 = a*(t e_h 2 -t e_l 2 )+b*(t e_h -t e_l )

[0111] For example, the refrigerant is R32, and according to the properties of R32 refrigerant and the above formula, the pressure difference ΔP across the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) can be fitted as follows: r3 ΔP r3 = 509.46*(t e_h 2 -t e_l 2 )+20853*(t e_h -t e_l ).

[0112] The saturated liquid density of the refrigerant is ρ = a*t*t + b*t + c, wherein t is the temperature of the refrigerant, and a, b and c are fitting coefficients related to the properties of the refrigerant (the values of the same fitting coefficients are different in different fitting correlations in the present application); the saturated liquid density ρ at the inlet of the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) is r3 ρ r3 = a*t e_h *t e_h -bt e_h +c; for example, the refrigerant is R32, and according to the properties of R32 refrigerant and the above formula, the saturated liquid density ρ at the inlet of the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) can be fitted as follows: r3 ρ r3 = -0.031*t e_h *t e_h -2.7548t e_h +1051.3.

[0113] After the pressure difference across the third throttling device and the saturated liquid density at the inlet of the third throttling device are calculated, the maximum mass flow rate in the third throttling device is calculated according to the pressure difference across the third throttling device and the saturated liquid density at the inlet of the third throttling device.

[0114] The maximum mass flow rate G in the third throttling device = a*P*(AP) 0.5 a is a fitting coefficient related to the refrigerant properties (the values of the same fitting coefficient are different in different fitting correlations in the present application).

[0115] For example, the refrigerant is R32, and according to the R32 refrigerant properties, the maximum mass flow rate G in the third throttling device = 0.0283*P*(AP) can be fitted according to the above formula. 0.5 .

[0116] Step S122, calculating the third throttling device inlet dryness according to the second heat exchanger middle part temperature.

[0117] Specifically, the second heat exchanger saturated liquid enthalpy and the second heat exchanger phase change latent heat are calculated according to the second heat exchanger middle part temperature. The third throttling device inlet dryness is calculated according to the second heat exchanger saturated liquid enthalpy and the second heat exchanger phase change latent heat.

[0118] The specific supercooling or saturated refrigerant enthalpy h = a*t*t + b*t + c, wherein a, b, and c are fitting values obtained from refrigerant property software, and the second heat exchanger saturated liquid enthalpy h e_h_f is:

[0119] h e_h_f = a*t e_h *t e_h +b*t e_h +c.

[0120] For example, the refrigerant is R32, and according to the R32 refrigerant properties, the second heat exchanger saturated liquid enthalpy h e_h_f is:

[0121] h e_h_f = 0.0039*t e_h *t e_h +1.7246*t e_h +200.06.

[0122] The refrigerant phase change latent heat h = a*t*t + b*t + c, wherein a, b, and c are fitting coefficients related to the refrigerant properties (the values of the same fitting coefficient are different in different fitting correlations in the present application), and the second heat exchanger phase change latent heat he _h_fg = a*t e_h *t e_h -b*t e_h +c.

[0123] For example, the refrigerant is R32, and according to the R32 refrigerant properties, the second heat exchanger phase change latent heat h e_h_fg is: he_h_fg = -0.0181 * t e_h *t e_h -1.1988 * t e_h + 313.22.

[0124] Specifically, the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) inlet dryness x3 = (h f -h e_h_f ) / h e_h_fg .

[0125] Wherein, h f is the flash vessel outlet temperature, which is calculated by the first heat exchanger outlet temperature, the second heat exchanger middle temperature, the third heat exchanger middle temperature, and the frequency through a fitting formula. The fitting correlation formula is used to calculate: h f = f (tc_o, t suc_h_sat , t suc_l_sat , f), h f = t ft_target = 0.5 * tc_o + 0.25 * t suc_h_sat + 0.25 * t suc_l_sat + a * f + c, wherein tc_o is the first heat exchanger outlet temperature, t suc_h_sat is the high temperature suction saturation temperature, t suc_l_sat is the low temperature suction saturation temperature, a and c are fitting coefficients, the values of the same (identified) fitting coefficients in different fitting correlations in the present application are different, and f is the compressor frequency. For example, the high temperature evaporation temperature (high temperature suction saturation temperature) t suc_h_sat = the second heat exchanger middle temperature t e_h - the high temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_h , the high temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_h = f (f); the high temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_h is related to the compressor frequency f, for example: dt sat_suc_h = a * f * f + b * f + c, wherein a, b and c are fitting coefficients, the values of the same (identified) fitting coefficients in different fitting correlations in the present application are different. The low temperature evaporation temperature (low temperature suction saturation temperature) t suc_l_sat = the third heat exchanger middle temperature t e_l - the low temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_l , the low temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_l = f (f); f (f) is obtained by fitting according to experimental data. The low temperature suction line saturation temperature drop dt sat_suc_l is related to the compressor frequency f, for example: dt sat_suc_l= a*f*f + b*f + c, wherein a, b and c are fitting coefficients, and the values of the fitting coefficients with the same (identified) fitting coefficients in different fitting correlations are different in the present application. The first heat exchanger outlet temperature tc_o, the second heat exchanger middle section temperature t e_h , and the third heat exchanger middle section temperature t e_l are detected by temperature sensing bulbs.

[0126] In step S123, the predicted noise of the third throttling device is calculated according to the maximum mass flow rate in the third throttling device and the dryness at the inlet of the third throttling device.

[0127] The third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) Z = a*G 2 +b*G+c*x+d, wherein a has a value range of -6.3*10 -7 ~0, preferably -2.38*10 -7 , b has a value range of 3.3*10 -3 ~8.5*10 -3 , preferably 5.86*10 -3 , c has a value range of 0~250, preferably 25.63, and d has a value range of -15~17, preferably 0.873.

[0128] The adjusting unit 130 is configured to adjust the opening degree of the first throttling device and the second throttling device, or adjust the rotation speed of the outdoor fan and the opening degree of the second throttling device, according to the predicted noise determined by the determining unit.

[0129] In a specific embodiment, the adjusting unit 130 adjusts the opening degree of the first throttling device and the second throttling device according to the predicted noise, so as to reduce the noise of the third throttling device. Specifically, it is judged whether the predicted noise of the third throttling device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value; if it is judged that the predicted noise is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the opening degree of the first throttling device is controlled to decrease, and the opening degree of the second throttling device is controlled to increase.

[0130] The first opening degree threshold value is the lower limit of the opening degree of the first throttling device, and the second opening degree threshold value is the upper limit of the opening degree of the second throttling device. If it is judged that the predicted noise is less than the preset threshold value, the step of judging whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold value is returned to.

[0131] For example, when the predicted noise Z of the third electronic expansion valve satisfies Z < b (the preset threshold value), it is considered that the noise is small and does not affect the indoor comfort, and each control parameter remains unchanged, and the step of judging whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold value (t 内环 -t设 The step of a) is performed. The value range of b is 25-36 dB(A). When Z≥b, it is considered that the noise has affected the indoor comfort, the first electronic expansion valve opening B1 is reduced, and the second electronic expansion valve opening B2 is increased.

[0132] The noise is reduced by reducing the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) inlet dryness through the above operation. The first throttling device (first electronic expansion valve) opening is reduced, the flash gas temperature is reduced, the second throttling device (second electronic expansion valve) inlet specific enthalpy is reduced, and finally the third throttling device (third electronic expansion valve) inlet dryness is reduced. This process requires the second throttling device (second electronic expansion valve) opening to be increased accordingly (dryness is further reduced) to compensate for the total pressure drop.

[0133] Further, the adjusting unit 130 is further configured to: after the opening of the first throttling device is controlled to be reduced and the opening of the second throttling device is controlled to be increased, when the opening of the first throttling device is less than or equal to a first preset opening threshold, or the opening of the second throttling device is greater than or equal to a second preset opening threshold, the current openings of the first throttling device and the second throttling device are maintained.

[0134] After the first electronic expansion valve opening is reduced and the second electronic expansion valve opening is increased according to the control logic, if the first electronic expansion valve opening B1≤c (first preset opening threshold) or the second electronic expansion valve opening B2≥d (second preset opening threshold) is satisfied, the opening is maintained; otherwise, return to step t 内环 -t 设 The step of a) is performed. The first preset opening threshold c is the lower limit of the first electronic expansion valve opening, and the second preset opening threshold d is the upper limit of the second electronic expansion valve opening.

[0135] In another specific embodiment, the adjusting unit 130 adjusts the opening of the second throttling device and the speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioning system according to the predicted noise of the third throttling device, so as to reduce the noise of the third throttling device. Specifically, it is judged whether the predicted noise of the third throttling device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold; if it is judged that the predicted noise is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the opening of the second throttling device is controlled to be increased, and the speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioning system is controlled to be increased.

[0136] For example, when the third electronic expansion valve predicted noise Z satisfies Z<b (preset threshold), it is considered that the noise is small and does not affect the indoor comfort, and each control parameter is maintained unchanged, and it is returned to judge whether the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold (t 内环 -t 设The step of ≥a) is performed; the value range of b is 25-36dB(A); when Z≥b, it is considered that the noise has affected the indoor comfort, the outdoor fan speed R0 is increased, and the second electronic expansion valve opening B2 is increased.

[0137] The third electronic expansion valve inlet dryness is reduced by the operation, the outdoor fan speed is increased, the cold outlet temperature is reduced, and the flash liquid temperature is synchronously reduced.
