DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore it only shows the components related to the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a dual cold source fresh air dehumidifier wet film humidification control method comprises the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: trigger the start signal of the dual-cold-source fresh air dehumidifier (hereinafter referred to as dehumidifier);

[0040] Step 2: The dehumidifier receives a power-on signal and determines whether it is in heating and humidification mode;

[0041] Step 3: When the dehumidifier is in the heating and humidifying mode, the first water flow valve 1 is closed, the second water flow valve 2 is opened, and the second water flow valve is opened to the initial opening degree P0; otherwise, the dehumidifier is not in the heating and humidifying mode, the first water flow valve 1 is opened, and the second water flow valve 2 is closed;

[0042] Step 4: After the second water flow valve 2 is opened to the initial opening P0, the opening of the second water flow valve 2 is adjusted using the PID control algorithm to control the heating function of the reheat coil 10;

[0043] The opening of the second water flow valve 2 is adjusted by using a PID control algorithm so that the outlet air temperature reaches and remains at the target outlet air temperature, including:

[0044] Step 41: The unit detects the outlet air temperature T every Δt. out , and calculate T out and the set target air outlet temperature T outs The absolute value of the temperature difference ΔT;

[0045] Step 42: Set the control parameter K in the PID control algorithm according to ΔT(t) and ΔT(t)-ΔT(t-1). p , K i and K d ;

[0046] Step 42 specifically includes:

[0047] Step 421: When ΔT(t)≥q, the control parameter K p ≥a; when ΔT(t)-ΔT(t-1)≥r, the control parameter K i ≥b,K d ≤c;

[0048] Step 422: When ΔT( t )<q, the control parameter K p <a; when ΔT(t)-ΔT(t-1)<r, the control parameter K i <b,K d >c;

[0049] Wherein, q is the set temperature difference; r, a, b, c are constants, a>b>c, a, b, c are all ≥0;

[0050] The value range of the set temperature difference q is 2°C to 10°C; the value range of the adjustment parameter r is 0.5°C to 1°C;

[0051] Assume q = 5°C, r = 0.8°C;

[0052] If the temperature difference ΔT(t) ≥ 5°C, the proportionality coefficient K p K should be satisfied p ≥2, and as the temperature difference ΔT(t) increases, K p The value increases accordingly; at the same time, when the temperature difference change ΔT(t)-ΔT(t-1)≥0.8℃, the integral coefficient K i K should be satisfied i ≥0.5, differential coefficient K d K should be satisfied d ≤0.03, and as the temperature difference ΔT(t)-ΔT(t-1 increases, the Ki value increases, K d The value decreases;

[0053] If the temperature difference ΔT(t) is less than 5°C, the proportionality coefficient K p K should be satisfied p <2, and as the temperature difference ΔT(t) decreases, K p The value decreases accordingly; at the same time, when the temperature difference change ΔT(t)-ΔT(t-1) is less than 0.8℃, the Ki value is less than 0.5, and K d Value>0.03; by K p , K i , K d The dynamic correction of the coefficient effectively avoids the occurrence of system oscillation.

[0054] Step 43, using the PID control algorithm to calculate the opening of the second water flow valve 2;

[0055] The output value P is calculated using the PID control algorithm. The formula is:

[0056]

[0057] Where, ΔT ( t ) is the temperature difference at time t, ΔT ( i ) is the temperature difference at time i, ΔT ( t-1 ) is the temperature difference at time t-1.

[0058] Substitute the output value P into formula (2) to calculate the opening of the second water flow valve 2. The formula is:

[0059] P s =max[0,min(100,P)]×100% (2)

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user sets the target air outlet temperature to 36°C, and the initial detected air outlet temperature is 10°C. At this time, ΔT ( t ) and ΔT ( t ) -ΔT ( t-1 ) is 26℃; according to the set PID control algorithm parameters, the proportional coefficient K p =5, integral coefficient K i =1, differential coefficient K d =0.01, and these parameters are substituted into formula (1) to obtain the output value P of 156.26; Substitute the P value into formula (2) to calculate the opening degree P of the second water flow valve 2 s is 100%; the opening of the second water flow valve 2 is adjusted to a fully open state to achieve rapid regulation of the water flow rate, promote the increase in the outlet air temperature, and ultimately reach a predetermined target outlet air temperature.

[0061] Step 5: When the outlet air temperature reaches the set target outlet air temperature, stop PID control adjustment.

[0062] Dual cold source fresh air dehumidifier wet film humidification control system, including:

[0063] Compressor 5, filter section 6, precooling coil 7, evaporator 8, wet film section 9, reheat coil 10, air supply fan 12, electronic expansion valve 5, first water flow valve 1, second water flow valve 2 and air supply temperature sensor 11; under winter heating and humidification conditions, the first water flow valve 1 is closed to avoid hot water diversion; the second water flow valve 2 configured in front of the water inlet pipe of the reheat coil 10 is used to adjust the high-temperature water flow entering the reheat coil 10 during heating and humidification; after the hot coil 10, the air supply temperature sensor 11 is installed in front of the air supply fan 12 to detect the actual air supply temperature, and the PID control algorithm is used to control the opening of the second water flow valve 2 so that the actual air supply temperature reaches and maintains the target air supply temperature.

[0064] In summer cooling and dehumidification conditions, water flow valve 1 is fully opened and water flow valve 2 is closed to avoid cold water diversion;

[0065] Working principle:

[0066] When the dehumidifier is running in the heating and humidification mode, the mixed air is filtered out impurities and harmful substances by the filter section 6 to obtain purified mixed air. The purified mixed air exchanges heat with the pre-cooling coil 7, and the air temperature increases. Then it is humidified in the wet film section 9. The moisture content of the mixed air after humidification is significantly improved, but the air temperature is significantly reduced. The lower humid air mixed air exchanges heat in the reheat coil 10, and the temperature is increased. The opening of the second water flow valve 2 is calculated by the PID control algorithm, and the high-temperature water flow through the second water flow valve 2 is intelligently adjusted, so as to achieve the actual air outlet temperature. Accurate control, energy saving and comfort.

[0067] Under the refrigeration and dehumidification conditions, the second water flow valve 2 is closed, the first water flow valve 1 is fully opened, and the wet film section is closed.
