Because the water chiller is widely used in various industries, the requirements for the water chiller are different. The working principle of the water chiller is a multifunctional machine that removes liquid vapor through a compression or heat absorption type refrigeration cycle. In the refrigeration industry, the water chiller is divided into two types, namely, an air-cooled water chiller and a water-cooled water chiller, and is divided into a screw water chiller, a scroll water chiller and a centrifugal water chiller according to the compressor.

[0003] For the screw water chiller, the unit load is mainly controlled through the chilled water outlet temperature or the water inlet temperature, and the overall unit load control is affected by multiple factors such as water temperature, pressure and current. Therefore, if the water temperature, pressure and current sensor devices fail, the unit load control may be abnormal or the water chiller may not be used normally. However, there is no related solution in the prior art to solve the above problems. Therefore, how to detect whether the sensor on the water chiller is faulty to avoid abnormal load control of the water chiller or normal use of the water chiller is a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0033] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a water chiller control method, specifically comprising steps S101-S104.

[0035] Step S101, during the operation of the water chiller, acquiring sensor data on the water chiller; wherein the sensor data is the operating parameter of the water chiller collected by sensors of different types installed at different positions of the water chiller;

[0036] Step S102, determining whether there is a target sensor with detection abnormality on the water chiller according to the sensor data;

[0037] Step S103, if it is determined that there is a target sensor with detection abnormality on the water chiller, acquiring target sensor data of other normally detected sensors;

[0038] Step S104, correcting the target sensor using the target sensor data, and continuing to collect the operating parameter of the water chiller using the corrected target sensor.

[0039] In the embodiment, when the water chiller is running, first, the running parameters of the water chiller are collected by the sensors on the water chiller as sensor data, and then whether the sensors on the water chiller are abnormal is determined according to the sensor data. If all the sensors on the water chiller are normal, the water chiller continues to run, and the running parameters are continuously collected by the sensors. If a sensor on the water chiller is abnormal, the abnormal sensor is corrected by the sensor data collected by the normal sensors, and after the correction is completed, the running parameters of the water chiller are continuously collected.

[0040] In the embodiment, whether the sensors on the water chiller are abnormal is detected by the collected sensor data, and the abnormal sensors are further corrected by the sensor data, so that the sensors on the water chiller can continue to run normally, the normal running of the water chiller is avoided to be affected by the abnormal sensors, and thus the running stability and reliability of the water chiller are improved.

[0041] In an actual application scenario, in combination with Figure 2 , the running parameters of the water chiller include temperature parameters, pressure parameters and current parameters, wherein the temperature parameters specifically include refrigerated water temperature, cooling water temperature, exhaust temperature, suction temperature and other temperatures; the pressure parameters include evaporation pressure, condensation pressure, oil supply pressure, exhaust pressure, suction pressure and other pressures; and the current parameters include compressor current. Correspondingly, in order to complete the collection of the running parameters, a sensor can be arranged for each of the above parameters, for example, a sensor for collecting refrigerated water temperature, a sensor for collecting cooling water temperature, a sensor for collecting exhaust temperature, and the like.

[0042] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the step S102 includes steps S201-S207.

[0043] In step S201, the refrigerated water inlet temperature, the refrigerated water outlet temperature and the actual water flow of the refrigeration side of the water chiller are obtained according to the sensor data.

[0044] In step S202, the first actual heat exchange amount of the refrigeration side of the water chiller is calculated according to the refrigerated water inlet temperature, the refrigerated water outlet temperature and the actual water flow.

[0045] In step S203, the supercooling point temperature and the supercooling point pressure at the outlet of the refrigerant side of the water chiller, and the superheat temperature and the superheat pressure at the inlet of the evaporator of the water chiller are obtained according to the sensor data.

[0046] In step S204, the second actual heat exchange amount of the refrigerant side of the water chiller is calculated according to the supercooling point temperature and the supercooling point pressure, and the superheat temperature and the superheat pressure.

[0047] In step S205, a first heat exchange difference between the first actual heat exchange and the second actual heat exchange is obtained, and the first heat exchange difference is compared with a preset first difference threshold.

[0048] In step S206, if the first heat exchange difference does not reach the preset first difference threshold, it is determined that there is no target sensor with detection abnormality on the water chiller.

[0049] In step S207, if the first heat exchange difference reaches the preset first difference threshold, it is determined that there is a target sensor with detection abnormality on the water chiller.

[0050] In the embodiment, in the process of running the water chiller, the actual water flow H, the chilled water inlet temperature T1 and the chilled water outlet temperature T2 can be obtained by the sensors, and thus the first actual heat exchange Q1 of the water chiller on the chilled side can be calculated. At the same time, in the refrigerant circulation system, the supercooling point temperature T3 and the pressure P3 can be detected by the sensors arranged at the outlet of the condenser, and the superheat temperature T4 and the pressure P4 can be detected by the sensors arranged at the inlet of the evaporator, and further, the first enthalpy value in this state can be calculated according to the supercooling point temperature T3 and the pressure P3, and the second enthalpy value in this state can be calculated according to the superheat temperature T4 and the pressure P4, and thus the second actual heat exchange Q2 of the water chiller on the refrigerant side can be calculated based on the first enthalpy value and the second enthalpy value.

[0051] After the first actual heat exchange Q1 and the second actual heat exchange Q2 are obtained, the heat exchanges Q1 and Q2 on the chilled side and the refrigerant side can be compared and analyzed. If the difference between Q1 and Q2 is less than A% (i.e., the preset first difference threshold), it is defaulted that the current deviation is within the allowable deviation range, and thus the water chiller can continue to run according to the current state. If the difference between Q1 and Q2 is equal to or greater than A% (i.e., the preset first difference threshold), it is considered that the current deviation exceeds the allowable deviation range, and thus it is determined that the sensor of the water chiller is abnormal.

[0052] In addition, in the actual application scenario, the evaporation pressure of the water chiller is the same as the replacement scheme of the chilled side inlet and outlet water temperature, i.e., the evaporation pressure corresponds to the evaporation temperature of the water chiller, and the evaporation temperature and the suction pressure are also a set of values that can be replaced with each other.

[0053] Further, in an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, Figure 4 The step S102 further includes steps S301-S303.

[0054] In step S301, the compressor discharge volume in the water chiller is obtained according to the sensor data, and the refrigerant mass flow in the water chiller is calculated according to the compressor discharge volume.

[0055] In step S302, the third actual heat exchange amount on the evaporator side of the water chiller is calculated according to the refrigerant mass flow, the chilled water inlet temperature, the chilled water outlet temperature and the superheat temperature.

[0056] In step S303, the third actual heat exchange amount is compared with the first actual heat exchange amount and the second actual heat exchange amount respectively to determine whether the target sensor on the chilled side or the refrigerant side of the water chiller has a detection abnormality.

[0057] In this embodiment, after detecting that the sensor of the water chiller has an abnormality, the abnormal sensor needs to be accurately located, i.e., it is determined which position of the sensor has an abnormality, so that the subsequent correction operation can be performed more accurately and quickly. Specifically, after obtaining the first actual heat exchange amount Q1 on the chilled side of the water chiller and the second actual heat exchange amount Q2 on the refrigerant side of the water chiller, the third actual heat exchange amount Q3 on the evaporator side of the water chiller is calculated through the sensor data, so that Q1 and Q2 are compared and analyzed through Q3 to determine whether Q1 or Q2 has an abnormality.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the step S303 includes steps S401-S404. Figure 5

[0059] In step S401, a second heat exchange amount difference between the third actual heat exchange amount and the first actual heat exchange amount is obtained, and the second heat exchange amount difference is compared with a preset second difference threshold value.

[0060] In step S402, if the second heat exchange amount difference does not reach the preset second difference threshold value, it is determined that the target sensor on the chilled side of the water chiller does not have a detection abnormality; if the second heat exchange amount difference reaches the preset second difference threshold value, it is determined that the target sensor on the chilled side of the water chiller has a detection abnormality.

[0061] In step S403, a third heat exchange amount difference between the third actual heat exchange amount and the second actual heat exchange amount is obtained, and the third heat exchange amount difference is compared with a preset second difference threshold value.

[0062] In step S404, if the third heat exchange amount difference does not reach the preset second difference threshold value, it is determined that the target sensor on the refrigerant side of the water chiller does not have a detection abnormality; if the third heat exchange amount difference reaches the preset second difference threshold value, it is determined that the target sensor on the refrigerant side of the water chiller has a detection abnormality. ​

[0063] That is, if the difference between the first actual heat exchange amount Q1 and the third actual heat exchange amount Q3 belongs to the normal range, and the difference between the second actual heat exchange amount Q2 and the third actual heat exchange amount Q3 exceeds the normal range, it is considered that the second actual heat exchange amount Q2 is abnormal; if the difference between the first actual heat exchange amount Q1 and the third actual heat exchange amount Q3 exceeds the normal range belongs to the normal range, and the difference between the second actual heat exchange amount Q2 and the third actual heat exchange amount Q3 belongs to the normal range, it is considered that the first actual heat exchange amount Q1 is abnormal.

[0064] Of course, it can be understood that in some optional embodiments, the actual heat exchange amounts of the chiller on the refrigerant side and the evaporator side can be calculated respectively by sensor data at first, and when the actual heat exchange amounts on the refrigerant side and the evaporator side are abnormal, the actual heat exchange amount on the freezing side is used for comparative analysis to determine the specific position of the abnormal sensor. Or the actual heat exchange amounts of the chiller on the freezing side and the evaporator side can be calculated respectively by sensor data at first, and when the actual heat exchange amounts on the freezing side and the evaporator side are abnormal, the actual heat exchange amount on the refrigerant side is used for comparative analysis to determine the specific position of the abnormal sensor.

[0065] In an embodiment, the step S104 comprises:

[0066] When it is determined that the target sensor with detection abnormality exists on the freezing side of the chiller, a first average value between the second actual heat exchange amount and the third actual heat exchange amount is calculated, and the first average value is taken as a fourth actual heat exchange amount;

[0067] The corrected inlet water temperature and the corrected outlet water temperature of the chiller on the freezing side are calculated according to the fourth actual heat exchange amount, and the target sensor is corrected based on the corrected inlet water temperature and the corrected outlet water temperature.

[0068] In another embodiment, the step S104 further comprises:

[0069] When it is determined that the target sensor with detection abnormality exists on the refrigerant side of the chiller, a second average value between the first actual heat exchange amount and the third actual heat exchange amount is calculated, and the second average value is taken as a fifth actual heat exchange amount;

[0070] The corrected supercooling point temperature of the chiller on the refrigerant side is calculated according to the fifth actual heat exchange amount, and the target sensor is corrected based on the corrected supercooling point temperature.

[0071] In the embodiment, after detecting that the sensor has an abnormality and accurately positioning the position where the sensor is located, the abnormal sensor can be corrected. Specifically, if the first actual heat exchange amount on the refrigeration side has an abnormality, the second actual heat exchange amount on the refrigerant side and the third actual heat exchange amount on the evaporator side are averaged, and the average value is taken as the fourth actual heat exchange amount; or if the second actual heat exchange amount on the refrigerant side has an abnormality, the first actual heat exchange amount on the refrigeration side and the third actual heat exchange amount on the evaporator side are averaged, and the average value is taken as the fifth actual heat exchange amount; then the fourth actual heat exchange amount or the second actual heat exchange amount is used for parameter inversion to obtain the parameter value in the normal case, and the abnormal sensor is corrected.

[0072] For example, when the first actual heat exchange amount on the refrigeration side has an abnormality, the fourth actual heat exchange amount is calculated by the second actual heat exchange amount on the refrigerant side and the third actual heat exchange amount on the evaporator side, and then the fourth actual heat exchange amount is substituted into the water system calculation formula, that is, Q (换热量) =C (比热容) *m (水流量) *△t (进出水温差) , so that the corrected cooling water temperature and refrigeration water temperature are obtained, and the corresponding sensor is corrected according to the corrected cooling water temperature and refrigeration water temperature.

[0073] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , after the step S104, the steps S501-S503 are included.

[0074] In step S501, the sensor data is continuously acquired, and the target sensor is judged for abnormality by the sensor data.

[0075] In step S502, if it is determined that the target sensor has no abnormality, the running parameters of the water chiller are continuously collected by the target sensor.

[0076] In step S503, if it is determined that the target sensor has an abnormality, the same type sensor as the target sensor is acquired, the same type sensor is used to replace the target sensor, and then the running parameters of the water chiller are continuously collected.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the sensor correction is completed, the running parameters of the water chiller are continuously collected by the corrected sensor. If the sensor still detects abnormality in the subsequent collection process, the sensor of the same type is used to replace the abnormal sensor, so as to ensure that the water chiller can be stably and normally operated. For example, if the sensor for collecting the exhaust temperature is abnormal and cannot be restored to normal after correction, the sensor for collecting the condensing temperature can be used to replace the sensor for collecting the exhaust temperature. For another example, for the compressor current, the U, V and W three-phase currents of the compressor are actually detected, so when one phase is abnormal and cannot be corrected, the other two phases can be used to replace it.
