Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a condensing unit, an air conditioner and a control method. Background Art

[0002] At present, when the condensing unit is working normally, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor enters the condenser for cooling after passing through the gas distribution main pipe and the gas distribution branch pipe. Because the temperature of the refrigerant before entering the condenser for cooling is relatively high, and the gas distribution branch pipe is relatively thin and the gas distribution main pipe is relatively long, the gas distribution branch pipes at the upper and lower ends of the condenser of the condensing unit in actual projects are most likely to break due to thermal strain, which in turn causes rapid leakage of the refrigerant, the system alarms and shuts down, and cannot continue to work, which seriously affects the working reliability of the condensing unit, especially the condensing unit with a high temperature of the gas distribution pipe assembly.

[0003] The traditional treatment method is to replace the original gas distribution main pipe and gas distribution branch pipe with a distributor head and a capillary tube. This method can effectively reduce the length of the gas distribution main pipe, thereby reducing the thermal strain of the capillary tube. However, for condensing units with high temperature of the gas distribution pipe assembly, the capillary tube temperature is still high, and the capillary tube will still break due to thermal strain. At this time, the use of a distributor head and a capillary tube cannot solve the problem of tube breakage caused by thermal strain.

[0004] In addition, the prior art also uses thermal stress compensation devices, refrigeration units and methods for compensating thermal stress, and cold storage, which provide a way to offset thermal strain by using reverse pulling and compressing external forces to deform, so that the overall thermal strain is not deformed. The thermal stress compensation device drives the gear to rotate through a motor, etc., and the gear rotation drives the upper and lower racks to move to adjust the distance between the upper and lower racks, thereby achieving pulling and compressing external forces at both ends. However, this method still has three major disadvantages.

[0005] First, an independent thermal stress compensation device composed of the gear, rack, motor, controller, etc. can only achieve thermal strain control at one point of the gas branch pipe at a time, and there are dozens or even hundreds of gas branch pipes on the condensing unit, and each gas branch pipe has multiple positions. If all the gas branch pipes are broken due to thermal strain of high-temperature refrigerant, multiple sets of such independent thermal stress compensation devices need to be installed, which is very costly.

[0006] Second, the internal space of a general condensing unit is relatively small. According to the minimum size machinability of gears and racks in current actual projects, when multiple gas branch pipes are broken due to thermal stress deformation caused by high-temperature refrigerant, it is impossible to place multiple sets of independent thermal stress compensation devices inside.

[0007] Third, the value of thermal strain is generally in the micron level. It is difficult to achieve micron-level displacement control in current practical engineering by relying solely on the one-time meshing transmission of gears and racks.

[0008] Therefore, the condensing unit in the prior art has the problem that the condensing pipeline is easily broken. Summary of the invention

[0055] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a condensing unit is provided, comprising: a condensing unit 100, wherein the condensing unit 100 comprises a connecting pipeline for transporting a refrigerant; a detecting component 216, which is arranged on the connecting pipeline, and the detecting component 216 is used to detect the thermal strain of the connecting pipeline; a cooling structure 200, which is used to transport the refrigerant into the connecting pipeline; and a control module, wherein the control module is signal-connected to the detecting component 216, and the control module controls the cooling efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline according to the thermal strain of the connecting pipeline to change the thermal strain of the connecting pipeline.

[0057] Specifically, the detection component 216 is a strain gauge (ie, a deformation sensor).

[0058] With the above-mentioned setting, strain gauges (i.e., deformation sensors) and control modules are used to detect and control the thermal strain on the gas branch pipe in real time. The safe thermal strain size of the gas branch pipe is set by directly adjusting the controller parameters. The cooling water flow rate is adjusted by a water pump, a water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, and a water storage tank to achieve the cooling capacity adjustment of the shell and tube condenser, and then the refrigerant temperature of the gas branch pipe is adjusted. Finally, the thermal strain size of the gas branch pipe is controlled, solving the problem of easy breakage of the condensing pipe in the condensing unit.

[0059] In the condensing unit of this embodiment, see Figure 1 to Figure 2The transport cooling structure 200 includes: a condenser component 3, on which a refrigerant inlet pipe 1 connected to the condensing unit 100 and a refrigerant outlet pipe 211 connected to the condensing unit 100 are provided; a cooling component, which is connected to the condenser component 3 to cool the refrigerant in the condenser component 3.

[0060] With the above arrangement, the refrigerant is first cooled by the condenser component 3, and then the refrigerant is passed into the condensing unit through the refrigerant outlet pipe 211, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0061] Specifically, the refrigerant inlet pipe 1 is a copper pipe with an outer diameter of Φ22 and a wall thickness of 1.2 mm. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the four-way valve 12 is introduced into the shell-and-tube condenser (i.e., the condenser component 3). One end is connected to the copper pipe on the four-way valve 12, and the other end is connected to the copper pipe on the shell-and-tube condenser, and the connection is brazed.

[0062] Specifically, the refrigerant outlet pipe 211 is a copper tube with an outer diameter of Φ16 and a wall thickness of 1 mm. The refrigerant cooled in the shell and tube condenser is introduced into the connecting pipe. One end is connected to the copper tube on the shell and tube condenser, and the other end is connected to one end of the connecting pipe, and the connection is brazed.

[0063] Specifically, the shell and tube condenser is used to cool down the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant for the first time. It is fixed to the condensing unit casing 4 by bolt assembly A.

[0064] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 In the condensing unit of the present embodiment, the cooling assembly includes: a liquid storage box 9 for containing coolant; a water inlet pipe component 5, the water inlet pipe component 5 is connected to the condenser component 3 to transport the coolant in the liquid storage box 9 to the condenser component 3; a water outlet pipe component 8, the water outlet pipe component 8 is connected to the condenser component 3 to transport the coolant in the condenser component 3 to the liquid storage box 9.

[0065] In this way, by passing the coolant into the condenser component 3, the heat of the refrigerant inside the condenser component 3 is taken away.

[0066] Specifically, the water inlet pipe component 5 is used to supply cooling water to the shell and tube condenser (ie, the condenser component 3). One end is fixed to the shell and tube flange through the water inlet pipe flange 51 and the bolt assembly 6, and the other end is placed in the cooling water.

[0067] Specifically, the water outlet pipe component 8 leads the cooled water in the shell and tube condenser to the liquid storage box 9. One end is fixed to the shell and tube condenser through the water outlet pipe flange 81 and the bolt assembly B, and the other end is placed in the cooling water.

[0068] In the condensing unit of this embodiment, see Figure 1 to Figure 2The control module includes a water pump 7 , and the water pump 7 is arranged on the water inlet pipe component 5 to control the flow rate of the coolant in the water inlet pipe component 5 .

[0069] Specifically, the water pump 7 is used to drive the cooling water circulation. The interfaces at both ends are welded to the water inlet pipe.

[0070] In the condensing unit of this embodiment, see Figure 1 to Figure 2 The condensing unit 100 includes a finned condenser 2 , the connecting pipeline is connected to the finned condenser 2 , and the connecting pipeline is connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 211 .

[0071] Specifically, the finned condenser 2 cools the refrigerant for the second time by air cooling and is fixed to the casing of the condensing unit by screws.

[0072] In the condensing unit of this embodiment, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 The connecting pipeline includes: a gas distribution main pipe 213, the gas distribution main pipe 213 is connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 211; a plurality of gas distribution branch pipes 214, the plurality of gas distribution branch pipes 214 are connected to the gas distribution main pipe 213 at intervals, and one end of each gas distribution branch pipe 214 away from the gas distribution main pipe 213 is connected to a different part of the finned condenser 2; the detection component 216 is arranged on the gas distribution branch pipe 214. In this way, the heat dissipation efficiency of the structure can be improved, and the thermal strain of the position where the connecting pipeline is most likely to deform can be effectively detected.

[0073] Specifically, in the condensing unit, the temperature between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet is the highest, about 100-120℃. After the condenser dissipates heat, the refrigerant temperature begins to drop again. In addition, the gas branch pipes in this section of the pipeline are often the smallest and thinnest, so it is most likely to cause thermal strain and breakage. Therefore, setting it here can most easily detect whether the thermal strain of the whole machine exceeds the standard.

[0074] Specifically, the gas distribution pipe assembly 21 introduces the refrigerant cooled in the shell and tube condenser into the finned condenser 2. One end is connected to the copper tube on the shell and tube condenser, and the other end is connected to the inlet pipe port on the finned condenser 2, and the connection is brazed.

[0075] Specifically, the main gas distribution pipe 213 is a copper pipe with an outer diameter of Φ12 and a wall thickness of 1 mm. The refrigerant is divided into a plurality of gas distribution branch pipes. One end is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 212, and the branch end is connected to the gas distribution branch pipe, and the connection is brazed.

[0076] Specifically, the gas branch pipe 214 is a copper pipe with an outer diameter of Φ7 and a wall thickness of 0.7 mm. The refrigerant in the gas branch main pipe 213 is introduced into the finned condenser 2. One end is connected to the gas branch main pipe 213, and the other end is connected to the inlet pipe opening on the finned condenser 2, and the connection is brazed.

[0077] Specifically, the detection component 216 is a deformation displacement sensor, which is attached to the gas branch pipe and is used to detect the thermal strain of the gas branch pipe when it is working.

[0078] In the condensing unit of this embodiment, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 The connecting pipeline includes a connecting pipe 212, one end of which is connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 211, and the other end of the connecting pipe 212 is connected to the gas distribution main pipe 213; the connecting pipe 212 includes a first pipe section parallel to the gas distribution main pipe 213 and a second pipe section perpendicular to the first pipe section.

[0079] Specifically, the connecting pipe 212 is a copper pipe with an outer diameter of Φ12 and a wall thickness of 1 mm. It plays a connecting transition role. One end is connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 211, and the other end is connected to the gas distribution main pipe. The connection is brazed.

[0080] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 In the condensing unit of this embodiment, the inner diameter of the refrigerant outlet pipe 211 is larger than the inner diameter of the gas distribution main pipe 213; the inner diameter of the gas distribution main pipe 213 is larger than the inner diameter of the gas distribution branch pipe 214. In this way, thin-walled or small copper pipes are easily deformed and broken under the same pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, while thickened copper pipes are less deformed and less likely to break. In this way, the inner diameter of each pipeline is controlled according to the different temperature distributions, thereby effectively ensuring the strength of the structure.

[0081] Specifically, the liquid collecting pipe assembly 22 collects the refrigerant cooled in the finned condenser 2. The branch pipe ends are connected to the inlet and outlet pipe ports on the finned condenser 2, and the connection is brazed.

[0082] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 In the condensing unit of the present embodiment, the condensing unit 100 includes: a casing 4; a compressor 10 connected to the casing 4; an electrical box 13, the control module includes a controller 11 arranged on the electrical box 13; a four-way valve 12, and the four-way valve 12 is connected to the cooling structure 200.

[0083] Specifically, the compressor 10 is used to drive the refrigerant to circulate in the refrigeration system and is fixed to the casing of the condensing unit by bolts.

[0084] Specifically, the four-way valve 12 plays a connecting transition role, one end of which is connected to the copper tube on the oil separator, and the other end is connected to the air intake copper tube, and the connection is brazed.

[0085] Specifically, the electrical box 13 is used to fix electrical components and is fixed to the casing 4 of the condensing unit by screws.

[0086] Specifically, the controller 11 is fixed to the electrical box 13 by screws. The maximum value of the thermal strain of all the detection components 216 is calculated, and a control signal is given to the water pump 7 to control the rotation speed of the water pump 7 to adjust the cooling water flow.

[0087] The air conditioner of this embodiment includes a condensing unit, and the condensing unit is the condensing unit mentioned above.

[0088] The control method of this embodiment, see Figure 5 , applicable to the above-mentioned condensing unit, the control method includes: detecting the thermal strain of the connecting pipeline; when the thermal strain is greater than a threshold value, increasing the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline to reduce the thermal strain of the connecting pipeline; when the value of the thermal strain is not greater than the threshold value, reducing the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline.

[0089] By adopting the above method, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is first introduced into the small shell-and-tube condenser through the thick inlet copper tube for the first cooling, and then introduced into the gas distribution main pipe and gas distribution branch pipe through the thick exhaust copper tube. The refrigerant temperature of the gas distribution branch pipe is increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the cooling water flow of the shell-and-tube condenser to ensure that the gas distribution branch pipe will no longer generate thermal strain due to high temperature and cause pipe breakage. Finally, the problem of thermal strain pipe breakage of the condensing unit is solved.

[0090] In the control method of this embodiment, see Figure 5 The control method includes: setting a thermal stress plate on each gas branch pipe 214 of the connecting pipeline to detect the thermal strain of each gas branch pipe 214; when the thermal strain of at least one gas branch pipe 214 is greater than the threshold value, increasing the cooling efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline to reduce the thermal strain of the connecting pipeline; when the thermal strain of all the gas branch pipes 214 is not greater than the threshold value, reducing the cooling efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline.

[0091] With the above arrangement, when the heat exchange efficiency is low, the thermal strain detected by the heat exchange efficiency detection component 216 is reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of pipe breakage caused by thermal strain of the condensing unit. When the heat exchange efficiency is high, the heat exchange efficiency is reduced, and the thermal strain detected by the detection component 216 is increased, thereby avoiding the problem of high energy consumption caused by the high-speed rotation of the water pump 7.

[0092] See also Figure 5 In the control method of this embodiment, the method of increasing the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline includes increasing the power of the water pump 7 to increase the refrigerant flow rate; and / or the method of reducing the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerant in the connecting pipeline includes reducing the power of the water pump 7 to reduce the refrigerant flow rate. In this way, by controlling the refrigerant flow rate, the purpose of adjusting the refrigeration efficiency can be achieved conveniently and effectively. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0094] During normal operation, the condensing unit and the water pump 7 are turned on, and the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 is first introduced into the small shell and tube condenser through the thick refrigerant inlet pipe 1 for the first cooling, and then introduced into the gas distribution main pipe 213 and the gas distribution branch pipe 214 through the thick refrigerant outlet pipe 211, and finally enters the finned condenser 2 for the second cooling.

[0095] The detection component 216 detects the thermal strain of each gas branch pipe 214 in real time, and the controller 11 controls the rotation speed of the water pump 7 in real time, and controls the refrigerant temperature in the gas branch pipe 214 by adjusting the cooling water flow of the shell and tube condenser in real time to ensure that the maximum thermal strain of each gas branch pipe 214 does not exceed the safe thermal strain size A0.

[0096] Setting safety thermal strain A0: When the condensing unit is working, the safety thermal strain A0 is set on the controller 11. The parameter setting should be based on the actual copper pipe breaking under thermal strain.

[0097] Detect thermal strain A1, A2, ..., A n : The detection component 216 detects the thermal strains A1, A2, ..., A on each gas branch pipe 214 in real time. n And transmit it to the controller 11 in real time, and the controller 11 calculates the maximum value A in real time max And compare A0, A max size.

[0098] If A max ≤A0, the detection components 216 at various locations continue to detect, and the controller 11 issues an instruction to reduce the speed of the water pump 7;

[0099] If A max >A0, the detection components 216 at various locations continue to detect, and the controller 11 issues a command to increase the speed of the water pump 7.

[0100] Stable control of thermal strain of gas distribution pipe 214:

[0101] When the heat exchange efficiency is low, the rotation speed of the water pump 7 is increased, the cooling water flow rate is increased, the cooling capacity of the shell and tube condenser is increased, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the gas branch pipe 214 is reduced, the temperature of each gas branch pipe 214 is reduced, the thermal strain of each gas branch pipe 214 is reduced, and the thermal strain detected by the detection component 216 is reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of pipe breakage due to thermal strain of the condensing unit.

[0102] When the heat exchange efficiency is high, the rotation speed of the water pump 7 is reduced, the cooling water flow rate is reduced, the cooling capacity of the shell and tube condenser is reduced, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the gas branch pipe 214 increases, the temperature of each gas branch pipe 214 increases, the thermal strain of each gas branch pipe 214 increases, and the thermal strain detected by the detection component 216 increases, but will not exceed the safety thermal strain A0, thereby avoiding the problem of high energy consumption caused by the high-speed rotation of the water pump 7.
