Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration technology, and in particular to a control system, method and refrigeration equipment. Background Art
[0002] In industries such as cold storage and cold chain transportation, the evaporator in the refrigeration equipment is prone to frost due to the low refrigeration environment temperature requirements. Frosting of the evaporator will affect air flow and reduce heat exchange efficiency, thus failing to achieve the expected refrigeration effect. Therefore, the evaporator needs to be defrosted regularly.
[0003] At present, in order to save energy and improve the refrigeration effect by reducing the temperature of the refrigerant, a heat exchanger is usually set at the outlet of the condenser to absorb the waste heat of the refrigerant and store it so that it can be used when defrosting is required. However, when the condensing temperature is low, the heat release capacity of the refrigerant is weakened, resulting in a decrease in the waste heat available in the heat exchanger. This means that when defrosting, the stored waste heat may not be enough to provide the required heat, thus affecting the efficiency of the defrosting process.
[0004] In addition, when the frost layer is thicker, the heat required for defrosting will increase significantly. The thick frost layer not only increases the thermal resistance and reduces the heat exchange efficiency, but also requires more heat to melt the frost layer. If the residual heat stored in the heat exchanger is insufficient, the defrosting time will be extended. Therefore, the system in the prior art may have energy imbalance when the condensing temperature is low and the frost layer is thicker, and cannot meet the heat demand for defrosting. This not only prolongs the defrosting time, but may also cause the system efficiency to decrease and increase the operating cost. Summary of the invention

In this process, the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger absorbs the heat released by the refrigerant in the corresponding first circulation part in turn, thereby storing it. When the control system executes the defrost mode, each first circulation part is controlled to be disconnected from the condenser and the evaporator device respectively, so that the refrigerant no longer flows to the evaporator device. At the same time, according to the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger, each second circulation part is adaptively controlled to be connected with the supply device and the spray device respectively, so that the defrost liquid flowing out of the supply device can enter at least one second circulation part of each second circulation part in turn, so that the defrost liquid flowing into the second circulation part exchanges heat with the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger corresponding to the second circulation part, so that the defrost liquid absorbs the heat released by the phase change material, and the defrost liquid after absorbing the heat flows out of the second circulation part and flows to the spray device, so that the spray device sprays and defrosts the evaporator device.

At the same time, through the phase change material with high specific heat capacity in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger, each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger can also store more heat in the refrigeration mode, thereby ensuring that there is enough heat for defrosting. And, the system ensures continuous and efficient heat supply in the defrost mode through the waste heat stored by the phase change material.

In the defrost mode, the control system adaptively controls the flow direction of the defrost liquid according to the current temperature value of the phase change material in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger, and also ensures that the heat can be released on demand and in an orderly manner, avoiding the problem of insufficient heat in the traditional system. In addition, the system also monitors the temperature of the phase change material in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger in real time, and dynamically adjusts the flow direction of the defrost liquid to ensure flexible response to heat requirements under different conditions, especially when the condensation temperature is low and the frost layer is thick.

[0034] It can be seen that the control system provided by the present invention includes: a condenser 1 and an evaporator device 2 connected in sequence, a supply device 3 and a spray device 4 connected thereto, and a first energy storage heat exchange device 5. The condenser 1 is used to perform heat exchange with the external environment to reduce the temperature of the refrigerant; the refrigerant after the temperature is reduced flows out from the output end of the condenser and flows to the evaporator device 2; the evaporator device 2 is used to perform heat exchange with the target area, thereby reducing the temperature of the target area to achieve the cooling effect. At the same time, a first energy storage heat exchange device 5 is provided between the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2. The first energy storage heat exchange device 5 has at least two first phase-change energy storage heat exchangers 51, each of which is arranged in parallel, and each of which has a phase-change material for absorbing and releasing heat. At the same time, each of the first phase-change energy storage heat exchangers 51 also has a first circulation part 511 for the circulation of the refrigerant and a second circulation part 512 for the circulation of the defrosting liquid. Each of the first circulation parts 511 is connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator 21 in a disconnectable manner. In addition, the supply device 3 is used to deliver defrosting liquid to the spray device 4; the spray device 4 is arranged above the evaporator device 2, and the spray device 4 is used to spray and defrost the evaporator device 2, and each second circulation part 512 is connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 in a disconnectable manner. When the control system executes the refrigeration mode, each second circulation part 512 is controlled to be disconnected from the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, so that the defrosting liquid does not enter each second circulation part 512, and at the same time, each first circulation part 511 is controlled to be connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 flows into each first circulation part 511 in turn, and flows to the evaporator device 2. In this process, the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 absorbs the heat released by the refrigerant in the corresponding first circulation part 511 in turn, so as to store it. When the control system executes the defrost mode, each first circulation part 511 is controlled to be disconnected from the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively, so that the refrigerant no longer flows to the evaporator device 2. At the same time, according to the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, the connection between each second circulation part 512 and the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 is adaptively controlled, so that the defrost liquid flowing out of the supply device 3 can enter at least one of the second circulation parts 512 in turn, so that the defrost liquid flowing into the second circulation part 512 exchanges heat with the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the second circulation part, so that the defrost liquid absorbs the heat released by the phase change material, and the defrost liquid after absorbing the heat flows out of the second circulation part 512 and flows to the spray device 4, so that the spray device 4 sprays and defrosts the evaporator device 2.
[0035] With such a structural setting, by setting the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 can be subcooled for a second time, and the temperature of the refrigerant can be further reduced, thereby improving the refrigeration effect, the system refrigeration capacity and the coefficient of performance. In addition, the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 has at least two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51, and each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 has a phase change material with a high specific heat capacity, a first circulation part 511 for the circulation of the refrigerant, and a second circulation part 512 for the circulation of the defrosting liquid. In the refrigeration mode, the phase change materials of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 can efficiently absorb and store the waste heat of the refrigerant in turn, thereby improving the energy efficiency and capacity utilization of the system, reducing energy waste, and reducing energy consumption and the operating cost of the system. At the same time, through the phase change material with a high specific heat capacity in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 can also store more heat in the refrigeration mode, thereby ensuring that there is enough heat to be used for defrosting. Furthermore, the system ensures continuous and efficient heat supply in the defrost mode through the waste heat stored in the phase change material. At the same time, when the control system executes the defrost mode, the system adaptively controls the flow direction of the defrost liquid according to the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, thereby ensuring that the defrost liquid can preferentially flow through the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 with higher stored heat, so that the defrost liquid can absorb enough heat for defrosting, thereby improving the efficiency and thoroughness of defrosting, and ensuring the effective use of heat. In the defrost mode, the control system adaptively controls the flow direction of the defrost liquid according to the current temperature value of the phase change material in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, and also ensures that the heat can be released on demand and in an orderly manner, avoiding the problem of insufficient heat in the traditional system. In addition, the system also monitors the temperature of the phase change material in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in real time, and dynamically adjusts the flow direction of the defrost liquid to ensure flexible response to heat requirements under different conditions, especially when the condensation temperature is low and the frost layer is thick. This intelligent control mechanism realizes the continuous supply of heat in the defrost mode and the continuous secondary supercooling of the refrigerant in the refrigeration mode, ensuring the maximum energy utilization efficiency. By precisely controlling the storage and release of heat, the load fluctuation of the equipment under extreme conditions is reduced, the condenser, evaporator and other key components are protected, and the service life of the equipment is extended. And this intelligent control mechanism also ensures the stable operation of the system, reduces failures caused by insufficient heat or incomplete defrosting, and improves the reliability and safety of the system. The control system of the present invention effectively solves the technical problem in the prior art that when the condensation temperature is low and the frost layer is thick, the heat stored in the heat exchanger may not meet the heat demand for defrosting, resulting in poor defrosting effect.

[0038] Further, the first circulation part 511 includes a plurality of first circulation branches arranged in parallel, the input end of each first circulation branch forms the input end of the first circulation part 511, and the output end of each first circulation branch forms the output end of the first circulation part 511. In the cooling mode, when the refrigerant flows into the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51, it flows into each first circulation branch respectively, and then flows out through the output end of each first circulation branch and merges to flow to the evaporator device 2. With such a structural setting, by setting a plurality of parallel first circulation branches, the refrigerant can transfer more heat to the phase change material in a shorter time, thereby improving the heat absorption speed and total amount of the phase change material. This efficient heat absorption process ensures that the phase change material can store more heat in the cooling mode, providing sufficient heat reserve for subsequent defrosting operations. In addition, the design of the parallel branches increases the contact area between the refrigerant and the phase change material, making the heat exchange more sufficient and uniform, and increases the contact area between the refrigerant and the phase change material, making the heat exchange more sufficient and uniform. Thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and the phase change material.
[0039] Optionally, the first circulation portion 511 includes three first circulation branches arranged in parallel.
[0040] Further, the second circulation part 512 includes a plurality of second circulation branches arranged in parallel, and the input end of each second circulation branch forms the input end of the second circulation part 512. The output end of each second circulation branch forms the output end of the second circulation part 512. In the defrost mode, when the defrost liquid flows into the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51, it flows into each second circulation branch respectively, and then flows out through the output end of each second circulation branch and flows to the spray device after merging. With such a structural setting, by setting a plurality of parallel second circulation branches, the contact area between the defrost liquid and the phase change material is increased, so that the heat exchange is more sufficient and uniform. As a result, more heat can be transferred from the phase change material to the defrost liquid in a shorter time, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the design of the parallel branches can avoid the problem of local temperature unevenness that may occur in a single channel, ensuring that the temperature distribution of the defrost liquid in the entire heat exchanger is more uniform, thereby improving the defrosting effect. In addition, the defrost liquid flows into the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 through multiple parallel branches, and can absorb a large amount of stored heat in a short time, ensuring that the defrost liquid obtains sufficient energy for defrosting. This efficient heat absorption process ensures that the defrost liquid is fully heated before entering the spray device, thereby improving the effect of spray defrosting.
[0041] Furthermore, the control system also includes: a compressor 19, which is arranged between the input end of the condenser 1 and the output end of the evaporator device 2, the exhaust port of the compressor 19 is connected to the input end of the condenser 1, and the intake port of the compressor 19 is connected to the output end of the evaporator device 2.
[0042] Furthermore, the control device also includes: a throttling device 20, which is arranged between the input end of the evaporator device 2 and the output end of each first flow part 511, one end of the throttling device 20 is connected to the input end of the evaporator device 2, and the other end of the throttling device 20 is respectively connected to the output end of each first flow part 511 in a switchable manner; the output end of each first flow part 511 is connected to the evaporator device 2 in a switchable manner through the throttling device 20.
[0043] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the compressor 19, the condenser 1, the first flow parts 511, the throttling device 20 and the evaporator device 2 form a refrigerant circulation circuit. When in the defrosting mode, the compressor 19 is in a standby state and does not work.
[0044] Furthermore, at least part of the supply device 3 is used to collect and recover the defrost liquid flowing down from the evaporator device 2 .
[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the supply device 3, each second flow portion 512 and the spray device 4 form a defrost liquid circulation loop.
[0046] Specifically, the control system also includes: a control device, which is used to determine whether to switch from the refrigeration mode to the defrost mode and obtain the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, and adaptively control the connection and disconnection of each first circulation part 511 with the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2, and the connection and disconnection of each second circulation part 512 with the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, respectively, according to the judgment result and the current temperature of each phase change material. By setting the control device, the system can adaptively control the connection and disconnection of each first circulation part 511 with the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2, and the connection and disconnection of each second circulation part 512 with the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, according to the current state and the temperature of each phase change material. This intelligent control significantly reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the automation level and operation efficiency of the system. At the same time, the flexibility of the system has also been enhanced, ensuring that it is always in the best operating state and can effectively cope with various complex working conditions, thereby improving stability and reliability. In summary, by introducing the control device, the system realizes intelligent mode switching, precise temperature monitoring and adaptive control, which significantly improves the energy utilization efficiency, defrosting effect and the overall stability of the system.
[0047] Specifically, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the control system also includes: at least two first control valves 6 and second control valves 7, each first control valve 6 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, each first control valve 6 is respectively connected to the input end of the corresponding first circulation part 511 and the output end of the condenser 1; each first control valve 6 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the corresponding first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1; the input end of the second control valve 7 is respectively connected to the output end of each first circulation part 511, and the output end of the second control valve 7 is connected to the input end of the evaporator device 2; the second control valve 7 is used to control the connection and disconnection between each first circulation part 511 and the evaporator device 2. With such a structural setting, by setting the first control valve 6 between each first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1, the system can realize that the refrigerant enters each first circulation part 511 in turn, thereby accurately controlling the flow path of the refrigerant, optimizing the heat exchange efficiency, and improving the overall thermal management performance. At the same time, by setting the second control valve 7, the system can quickly adjust the flow between the evaporator device 2. This instant response capability enables the system to quickly adjust its working state when the load changes, thereby improving the overall response speed.
[0048] Furthermore, each of the first control valves 6 and the second control valves 7 is connected to a control device, which adaptively controls the opening and closing of each of the first control valves 6 and the second control valves 7 according to the operating mode of the system and the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51.
[0049] Optionally, in the cooling mode, the second control valve 7 is controlled to open, and the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is obtained. According to the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, the corresponding first control valve 6 is controlled to open in sequence from low to high. When the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 whose current temperature of the phase change material is the lowest is controlled to open, the first flow portion 511 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is respectively connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2, and the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 absorbs and stores the heat released by the refrigerant. When the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is completely melted (that is, when the heat absorption is completed), the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to close. Then the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 whose current temperature of the phase change material is the second lowest is controlled to open. Then, the same applies. When switching from the cooling mode to the defrosting mode, the first control valve 6 and the second control valve 7 are controlled to be in a closed state.
[0050] Among them, when the current temperatures of the phase change materials of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 are consistent, the opening and closing of the first control valve 6 are controlled in sequence according to the installation position or preset designation or coding of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51.
[0051] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the control system also includes: a third control valve 8 and at least two fourth control valves 9, the input end of the third control valve 8 is connected to the output end of the supply device 3, and the output end of the third control valve 8 is respectively connected to the input end of each second circulation part 512; the third control valve 8 is used to control the on-off between the supply device 3 and the input end of each second circulation part 512; each fourth control valve 9 is arranged one-to-one with each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, each fourth control valve 9 is respectively arranged between the third control valve 8 and the input end of the corresponding second circulation part 512, and each fourth control valve 9 is respectively connected to the input end of the corresponding second circulation part 512 and the output end of the third control valve 8. With such a structural arrangement, by setting the third control valve 8, the system can quickly adjust the flow between the supply device 3. This instant response capability enables the system to quickly adjust the working state when the load changes, thereby improving the overall response speed. At the same time, by setting the fourth control valve 9 between each second circulation part 512 and the fourth control valve 9, the system can realize that the refrigerant enters each second circulation part 512 in sequence, accurately control the flow path of the defrost liquid, optimize the heat exchange efficiency, and improve the overall thermal management performance. In addition, a main valve (i.e., the third control valve 8) and a sub-valve (i.e., the fourth control valve 9) are set at the output end of each second circulation part 512, which can effectively prevent the defrost liquid from entering the second circulation part 512 in the refrigeration mode.
[0052] Furthermore, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are connected to a control device, which adaptively controls the opening and closing of the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 according to the operating mode of the system and the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51.
[0053] Optionally, in the cooling mode, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are controlled to be in a closed state, and the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is detected in real time to see whether it is completely melted.
[0054] When the phase change material of only one first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 among the first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 is completely melted, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is selected as the defrosting energy storage unit, and the fourth control valve 9 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to open.
[0055] When the phase change materials of at least two of the first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 are completely melted, the temperature of the phase change materials of at least two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 is determined, and the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest temperature is selected as the defrosting energy storage unit, and the fourth control valve 9 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to open. The other fourth control valves 9 are in a closed state.
[0056] It can be understood that when the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is completely melted, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is first selected as the defrost energy storage unit. After a period of time, when the phase change material of the second first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is completely melted, the temperature of the phase change materials of the two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 is judged, and the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest temperature is selected as the defrost energy storage unit. Whichever first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is selected as the defrost energy storage unit, the corresponding fourth control valve 9 is in an open state.
[0057] Among them, if in the refrigeration mode, the phase change materials of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 are completely melted, the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 adjacent to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 selected as the defrost energy storage unit is controlled to open, thereby facilitating the circulation of the refrigerant.
[0058] For example, Figure 2 As shown, each first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is arranged in sequence from top to bottom. In the cooling mode, when the phase-change materials of each first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 are completely melted, the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 on the lower side of the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 selected as the defrosting energy storage unit is controlled to open. If the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 selected as the defrosting energy storage unit is the lowest part, the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 on the uppermost side is opened.
[0059] When switching from the refrigeration mode to the defrost mode, the third control valve 8 is controlled to open, so that the defrost liquid flowing out of the supply device 3 passes through the third control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 9 in the open state in sequence and flows into the second flow part 512 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the fourth control valve 9 in the open state, to absorb the heat released by the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51. The defrost liquid after absorbing the heat flows to the spray device 4, so that the spray device 4 performs spray defrosting.
[0060] When the phase change material of the released heat has completed heat release (that is, when the phase change material becomes solid), the fourth control valve 9 in the open state is controlled to switch to the closed state, and then the corresponding fourth control valves 9 are opened in sequence from high to low according to the current temperature of the phase change materials of the other first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51. One fourth control valve 9 is opened, and the other fourth control valves 9 are all in the closed state. Among them, in the defrosting state, if it is detected that the defrosting has been completed, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are controlled to be in the closed state, and switched to the cooling mode.
[0061] Among them, in the defrost mode, if the phase change materials of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 have released all the heat and it is detected that the defrost is not completed, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are controlled to be in a closed state and switched to the refrigeration mode.
[0062] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the control system further includes: a filter device 10, which is arranged between the supply device 3 and the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, and is respectively connected to the input end of the supply device 3 and the input end of each second circulation part 512; the filter device 10 is used to filter the defrost liquid. With such a structural arrangement, the defrost liquid can be filtered by arranging the filter device 10 to prevent impurities from clogging each control valve, each second circulation part 512 of the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 and the spray device 4, thereby reducing the defrosting effect.
[0063] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the evaporator device 2 includes: at least one evaporator 21, the input end of the evaporator 21 is connected to the output end of each first circulation part 511 in a disconnectable manner; the supply device 3 includes: at least one water receiving tray 31, the water receiving tray 31 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the evaporator 21, the water receiving tray 31 is arranged below the corresponding evaporator 21, and the water receiving tray 31 is used to collect the defrost liquid flowing down from the evaporator 21 and store it; the output end of the water receiving tray 31 is respectively connected to the input end of each second circulation part 512 in a disconnectable manner. With such a structural arrangement, each evaporator 21 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with its corresponding water receiving tray 31, ensuring that the defrost liquid can be accurately collected and redistributed. This one-to-one design improves the accuracy and reliability of the system and avoids waste and uneven distribution of the defrost liquid. By setting the water receiving tray 31, and the water receiving tray 31 is arranged below the evaporator 21, the melted frost water can be effectively collected to prevent water from dripping or accumulating and affecting the operation of the system. The water receiving pan 31 is not only used to collect the defrost liquid flowing down from the evaporator 21, but also can store the liquid for reuse when needed. This design ensures the effective reuse of the defrost liquid, reduces the demand for additional defrost liquid, and improves the overall energy efficiency of the system.
[0064] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, there are two evaporators 21, and the two evaporators 21 are arranged in series, and the input end of the evaporator 21 close to the output end of each first circulation part 511 forms the input end of the evaporator device 2. A water receiving tray 31 is provided under each evaporator 21. Each water receiving tray 31 collects and stores the defrost liquid flowing from the corresponding evaporator 21. In actual process, the number of evaporators 21 is not limited. By setting multiple evaporators 21, it can be applied to cold storages with multiple temperature zones.
[0065] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the supply device 3 also includes: at least one water pump 32, the water pump 32 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the water receiving tray 31, the input end of the water pump 32 is connected to the output end of the corresponding water receiving tray 31, and the output end of the water pump 32 is respectively connected to the input end of each second circulation part 512 in a switchable manner. With such a structural arrangement, by arranging the water pump 32, and the water pump 32 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the water receiving tray 31, it is ensured that the defrost liquid in the corresponding water receiving tray 31 can be transported from the water receiving tray 31 to the corresponding second circulation part 512 as needed, and the flow rate of the defrost liquid can also be accurately controlled by the water pump 32.
[0066] Furthermore, the water pump 32 is connected to a control device, and the control device is used to control the start and stop of the water pump.
[0067] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, there are two water pumps 32 , and the two water pumps 32 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two water receiving trays 31 . The output ends of the two water pumps 32 are respectively connected to the input ends of each second circulation part 512 in a disconnectable manner.
[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, a water leakage hole 311 is provided on the water receiving tray 31 , and the water leakage hole 311 forms an output end of the water receiving tray 31 .
[0069] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the supply device 3 further includes: a water supply pipeline 33, the water supply pipeline 33 is connected to the water receiving tray 31, and the water supply pipeline 33 is used to replenish the defrost liquid to the water receiving tray 31. With such a structural arrangement, the water supply pipeline 33 can be used to replenish the defrost liquid to the water receiving tray 31 to prevent the defrost liquid in the water receiving tray 31 from being too low.
[0070] Optionally, there are multiple water receiving trays 31 , and the output ends of the water replenishment pipeline 33 are respectively connected to each water receiving tray 31 .
[0071] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the spray device 4 includes: at least one sprayer 41, the sprayer 41 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the evaporator 21, the sprayer 41 is arranged above the corresponding evaporator 21, and the sprayer 41 is used to spray the defrosting liquid onto the corresponding evaporator 21 for defrosting; the input end of the sprayer 41 is connected to the output end of each second circulation part 512 in an on-off manner. With such a structural arrangement, each sprayer 41 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the corresponding evaporator 21, ensuring that the defrosting liquid can be accurately sprayed onto the surface of the evaporator that needs to be defrosted. Thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the spraying, avoiding the waste and uneven distribution of the defrosting liquid. The sprayer 41 is arranged above the evaporator 21, which can ensure that the defrosting liquid evenly covers the entire evaporator surface and improves the defrosting effect. It ensures that all frost layers can be effectively melted, which improves the thoroughness of defrosting. In addition, the connection state of each sprayer 41 and the second circulation part 512 is selectively controlled according to actual needs to ensure that the defrosting liquid is distributed to the corresponding evaporator 21 as needed. Thereby improving the defrosting efficiency.
[0072] Optionally, the water tray 31 and the water pump 32 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sprayer 41. Figure 1 As shown, there are two sprayers 41 . When one of the two sprayers 41 is controlled to perform spray defrosting, the corresponding water pump 32 is turned on, and the water pump 32 transports the defrosting liquid in the corresponding water receiving tray 31 to the sprayer 41 .
[0073] Optionally, when at least two evaporators 21 among the plurality of evaporators 21 reach the defrosting condition, the second evaporator 21 is defrosted after the first evaporator 21 is defrosted.
[0074] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the control system further includes: at least one fifth control valve 11, which is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the sprayer 41, and the fifth control valve 11 is respectively connected to the input end of the corresponding sprayer 41 and the output end of each second circulation part 512; the fifth control valve 11 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the output end of each second circulation part 512 and the corresponding sprayer 41. With such a structural arrangement, by arranging the fifth control valve 11, the flow direction of the defrost liquid can be independently controlled, ensuring that the defrost liquid can be accurately sprayed into the corresponding sprayer 41 of the evaporator 21 that needs to be defrosted, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of spraying, avoiding the waste and uneven distribution of the defrost liquid, and ensuring that each evaporator 21 can obtain enough defrost liquid for effective defrosting.
[0075] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4As shown, each first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is provided with a first temperature detection device 12, and the first temperature detection device 12 on each first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is used to detect the temperature of the phase change material of the corresponding first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51; wherein each first temperature detection device 12 is connected to the control device, and each first temperature detection device 12 sends the detected temperature of the phase change material of the corresponding first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 to the control device. With such a result setting, by setting the first temperature detection device 12, the temperature of the phase change material of the corresponding first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51 can be detected, so that the control device can judge the state of the phase change material of the corresponding first phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 51, so that the control device can perform corresponding control.
[0076] Furthermore, the first temperature detection device 12 includes at least one first temperature sensor.
[0077] Optionally, in addition to the first temperature detection device 12 on each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, a capacitive sensor can also be provided on each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 to detect the state of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 through the capacitive sensor, so as to judge whether the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is in a completely solidified state, a completely melted state or a solid-liquid mixed state.
[0078] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the control system also includes: a second energy storage heat exchange device 13 and a control device for heat exchange and heat storage; the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 has at least two second phase change energy storage heat exchangers 131, and each second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131 is provided with a third circulation part 1311 for refrigerant circulation and a fourth circulation part 1322 for defrost liquid circulation; each third circulation part 1311 is connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator 21 in a switchable manner, and each fourth circulation part 1322 is connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 in a switchable manner; the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 and the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 are arranged in parallel; the control device is used to obtain the current outdoor temperature, so as to selectively control the refrigerant and the defrost liquid to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 or the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 according to the current outdoor temperature. With such a structural setting, by setting the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 and the second energy storage heat exchange device 13, the control device selectively controls the refrigerant and defrost liquid to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 or the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 according to the current outdoor temperature. It can ensure that the outdoor temperature controls the flow direction of the refrigerant and defrost liquid, and then can use different phase change temperatures to effectively recover the waste heat of the condenser and ensure the best heat recovery effect. And by automatically switching between the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 and the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 according to the ambient temperature, load demand and phase change material temperature, the system can adapt to different seasons, ensuring that the system can effectively perform waste heat defrosting and refrigerant secondary supercooling in different environments, maximizing energy utilization efficiency.
[0079] Optionally, the phase change temperature range of the phase change material of the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 and the phase change temperature range of the phase change material of the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 are different, so that the system is an energy storage system using dual phase change materials, thereby adapting to the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 under different environments and optimizing the heat storage efficiency.
[0080] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the control system also includes: at least two sixth control valves 14 and a seventh control valve 15, each sixth control valve 14 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each second phase-change energy storage heat exchanger 131, and each sixth control valve 14 is respectively connected to the input end of the corresponding third circulation part 1311 and the output end of the condenser 1; each sixth control valve 14 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the corresponding third circulation part 1311 and the condenser 1; the input end of the seventh control valve 15 is respectively connected to the output end of each third circulation part 1311, and the output end of the seventh control valve 15 is connected to the input end of the evaporator device 2; the seventh control valve 15 is used to control the connection and disconnection between each third circulation part 1311 and the evaporator device 2.
[0081] Optionally, in the cooling mode, when the refrigerant is controlled to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, each of the sixth control valves 14 and the seventh control valves 15 are controlled to be in a closed state. When the refrigerant is controlled to flow to the second energy storage heat exchange device 13, each of the first control valves 6 and the second control valves 7 are controlled to be in a closed state. As for the process of controlling each of the sixth control valves 14 and the seventh control valves 15, the process is the same as the process of controlling each of the first control valves 6 and the second control valves 7, which will not be described in detail here.
[0082] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the control system also includes: an eighth control valve 16 and at least two ninth control valves 17, the input end of the eighth control valve 16 is connected to the output end of the supply device 3, and the output end of the eighth control valve 16 is respectively connected to the input end of each fourth circulation part 1322; the eighth control valve 16 is used to control the on-off between the supply device 3 and the input end of each fourth circulation part 1322; each ninth control valve 17 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131, and each ninth control valve 17 is respectively arranged between the eighth control valve 16 and the input end of the corresponding fourth circulation part 1322, and each ninth control valve 17 is respectively connected to the input end of the corresponding fourth circulation part 1322 and the output end of the eighth control valve 16.
[0083] Furthermore, the control system also includes: each second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131 is provided with a second temperature detection device 18, and the second temperature detection device 18 on each second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131 is used to detect the temperature of the phase change material of the corresponding second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131; wherein each second temperature detection device 18 is connected to the control device, and each second temperature detection device 18 sends the detected temperature of the phase change material of the corresponding second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131 to the control device.
[0084] Optionally, in the defrost mode, when the defrost liquid is controlled to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, the eighth control valve 16 and each ninth control valve 17 are controlled to be in a closed state. When the defrost liquid is controlled to flow to the second energy storage heat exchange device 13, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are controlled to be in a closed state. As for the process of controlling the eighth control valve 16 and each ninth control valve 17, the process is the same as the process of controlling each third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9, which will not be repeated here.
[0085] Optionally, the volumes of phase change materials stored in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 may be different or the same; and the volumes of phase change materials stored in each second phase change energy storage heat exchanger 131 may be different or the same.
[0086] Optionally, before matching the phase change energy storage heat exchanger, experimental test data can be used to optimize the design of the volume and number of a single phase change energy storage heat exchanger according to the defrosting frequency and the refrigerant temperature at the condenser outlet, so as to avoid such extreme situations as possible (i.e., each phase change energy storage heat exchanger has been completely melted but there is no need to defrost, or each phase change energy storage heat exchanger has been completely solidified but defrosting is not yet complete).
[0087] The present invention provides a refrigeration device, comprising: the control system of the above embodiment. With such a structural arrangement, the beneficial effects of the refrigeration device are the same as those of the control system of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0088] Optionally, the refrigeration equipment is a cold storage.
[0089] The present invention provides a control method, which is applied to the control system of the above embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes: S11, after the cooling mode is running, the flow path of the refrigerant is controlled, and it is determined whether to switch to the defrosting mode.
[0090] S12, if the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 is controlled to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, the connection between each first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 is controlled in turn, so that the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 absorbs the heat released by the refrigerant flowing into the corresponding first circulation part 511 in turn and stores it.
[0091] S13, if the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrosting mode, the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is obtained.
[0092] S14, according to the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, adaptively controls the connection between each second circulation part 512 and the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively, so that the defrost liquid flowing into at least one of the second circulation parts 512 absorbs the heat released by the corresponding phase change material, and the defrost liquid after absorbing the heat flows to the spray device 4.
[0093] By adopting such a control method, by sequentially controlling the connection of each first circulation part 511 with the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively, in the refrigeration mode, the phase change materials of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 can be sequentially and efficiently absorbed and stored in the waste heat of the refrigerant, thereby improving the energy efficiency and capacity utilization of the system, reducing energy waste, and reducing energy consumption and the operating cost of the system. At the same time, each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 can also store more heat in the refrigeration mode, thereby ensuring that there is enough heat for defrosting. In addition, the waste heat stored by the phase change material in the system ensures a continuous and efficient heat supply in the defrost mode. In addition, by absorbing the heat released by the refrigerant through the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 can also be subcooled for a second time, further reducing the temperature of the refrigerant, thereby improving the refrigeration effect, the system refrigeration capacity and the coefficient of performance. At the same time, in the defrost mode, the system adaptively controls the flow direction of the defrost liquid according to the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, thereby ensuring that the defrost liquid can preferentially flow through the second circulation part 512 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 with higher heat storage, so that the defrost liquid can absorb enough heat for defrosting, thereby improving the efficiency and thoroughness of defrosting, and ensuring the effective use of heat. In the defrost mode, the control system adaptively controls the flow direction of the defrost liquid according to the current temperature value of the phase change material in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, and also ensures that the heat can be released on demand and in an orderly manner, avoiding the problem of insufficient heat in the traditional system. In addition, by real-time monitoring the temperature of the phase change material in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, the flow direction of the defrost liquid can be dynamically adjusted, thereby ensuring flexible response to heat requirements under different conditions, especially when the condensation temperature is low and the frost layer is thick. This intelligent control mechanism realizes the continuous supply of heat in the defrost mode and the continuous secondary supercooling of the refrigerant in the refrigeration mode, ensuring the maximum energy utilization efficiency. By precisely controlling the storage and release of heat, the load fluctuation of the equipment under extreme conditions is reduced, the condenser, evaporator and other key components are protected, and the service life of the equipment is extended. This intelligent control mechanism also ensures the stable operation of the system, reduces failures caused by insufficient heat or incomplete defrosting, and improves the reliability and safety of the system. The control method of the present invention effectively solves the technical problem in the prior art that when the condensing temperature is low and the frost layer is thick, the heat stored in the heat exchanger may not meet the heat demand for defrosting, resulting in poor defrosting effect.
[0094] Specifically, if the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrost mode, and according to the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, the method of adaptively controlling the connection of each second circulation part 512 with the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively includes: if the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrost mode, comparing the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51; selectively controlling the connection of the corresponding second circulation part 512 with the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively from high to low according to the current temperature value of each phase change material. By adopting such a control method, the connection of the corresponding second circulation part 512 with the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 is selectively controlled from high to low according to the current temperature value of each phase change material, ensuring that the defrosting liquid can absorb enough heat. This method of allocating heat on demand avoids energy waste and improves the energy utilization rate of the system. And by gradually extracting heat from the phase change material with the highest temperature, the system can extract the most heat in the shortest time, ensuring that the defrosting liquid obtains enough heat to melt the frost layer, making its defrosting process fast and thorough, thereby improving the defrosting effect. In addition, the control system can dynamically adjust the on / off state of each second circulation part 512 according to the real-time temperature data to ensure that the best defrosting effect can be provided under any conditions.
[0095] Optionally, in the cooling mode, when one of the first circulation parts 511 is respectively connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2, the other first circulation parts 511 are disconnected from the condenser 1. In the defrosting mode, when one of the second circulation parts 512 is respectively connected to the spray device 4 and the supply device 3, the other second circulation parts 512 are disconnected from the supply device 3.
[0096] Specifically, the method of selectively controlling the connection of the corresponding second circulation part 512 with the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively in order from high to low according to the current temperature value of each phase change material includes: when one of the second circulation parts 512 is connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively, obtaining the current temperature of the corresponding phase change material; when the current temperature of the corresponding phase change material is less than the first preset temperature value, controlling the second circulation part 512 to be disconnected from the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively; and controlling when another second circulation part 512 in each second circulation part 512 is connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively. With such a control method, the flow of the defrosting liquid is ensured by preferentially selecting a phase change energy storage heat exchanger with a higher temperature to ensure that the defrosting liquid can absorb enough heat. Thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the system. In addition, the high-temperature phase change material preferentially participates in the heat exchange to ensure that the defrosting liquid obtains enough heat to melt the frost layer. Thereby improving the defrosting effect. In addition, the on-off state of each second circulation part 512 is dynamically adjusted according to the real-time temperature data to ensure that the best defrosting effect can be provided under any conditions. This flexibility enables the system to cope with various complex working conditions and enhances the stability and reliability of the system.
[0097] The first preset temperature value refers to the lower limit of the phase change temperature range of the phase change material. When the current temperature of the phase change material is less than the first preset temperature value, it indicates that the phase change material has been completely solidified.
[0098] Optionally, when one of the second circulation parts 512 is respectively connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 , the other second circulation parts 512 are disconnected from the supply device 3 , so that the defrosting liquid cannot enter the other second circulation parts 512 .
[0099] Specifically, the control method further includes: after the defrost mode is running, detecting the current defrost state of the evaporator device 2; when any one of the second circulation parts 512 is respectively connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, it is detected that the evaporator device 2 has completed defrosting, then the defrost mode is switched to the refrigeration mode; when each of the second circulation parts 512 is respectively disconnected from the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, it is detected that the evaporator device 2 has not completed defrosting, then the defrost mode is switched to the refrigeration mode; when switching to the refrigeration mode, when the current temperature of the phase change material corresponding to at least one of the second circulation parts 512 is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature value, the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrost mode, and the defrosting continues; wherein the third preset temperature value is greater than the first preset temperature value. With such a control method, after the system is running in the defrost mode, the current defrost state of the evaporator device 2 is detected in real time to ensure that the defrosting progress can be understood in time. This real-time monitoring mechanism improves the response speed of the system and ensures the efficiency and thoroughness of the defrosting operation. When it is detected that the evaporator has been defrosted, the system immediately switches back to the cooling mode, avoiding unnecessary defrosting operations and energy waste. This precise control reduces the operating time of the equipment in defrosting mode, prolongs the equipment life and reduces energy consumption. At the same time, the system intelligently determines when to re-enter the defrosting mode based on the temperature of the phase change material, ensuring that sufficient heat can be used for each defrosting, thereby improving the defrosting efficiency. In addition, the working mode is dynamically adjusted through real-time temperature data to ensure that the system is always in the best operating state. This increases the flexibility, stability and reliability of the system.
[0100] Among them, setting the third preset temperature value and designing the third preset temperature value to be greater than the first preset temperature value is to ensure that the defrost mode will be started again only when the phase change material stores sufficient heat, thereby ensuring the thoroughness and efficiency of the defrost effect.
[0101] Optionally, in the defrost mode, the defrosting status of the evaporator device 2 is detected in real time. When any one of the second circulation parts 512 is connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, respectively, and it is detected that the evaporator device 2 has completed defrosting, each of the second circulation parts 512 is controlled to be disconnected from the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, respectively, and the defrost mode is switched to the refrigeration mode. When each of the second circulation parts 512 has been connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, respectively, and the phase change materials corresponding to the current second circulation parts 512 are all less than the first preset temperature value, it is detected that the evaporator device 2 has not completed defrosting, then the defrost mode is suspended and the defrost mode is switched to the refrigeration mode. When the current temperature of at least one of the phase change materials corresponding to each of the second circulation parts 512 is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature value, it is switched to the defrost mode and the defrost mode is continued.
[0102] Specifically, after the refrigeration mode is running, the method for judging whether to switch to the defrost mode includes: after the refrigeration mode is running, judging whether the evaporator device 2 is in defrost condition; if the evaporator device 2 reaches the defrost condition, obtaining the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51; if the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is less than the first preset temperature value, maintaining the refrigeration mode; if the current temperature value of the phase change material of at least one first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than the first preset temperature value, switching the refrigeration mode to the defrost mode. With such a control method, when the evaporator device 2 reaches the defrost condition, the current temperature of the phase change material is used to intelligently judge when to enter the defrost mode, ensuring that sufficient heat can be used for each defrost, thereby improving the defrost efficiency. Ineffective defrosting operations are also avoided, reducing energy waste.
[0103] Further, when the evaporator device 2 does not reach the defrosting condition, the cooling mode is maintained.
[0104] Furthermore, the method for determining whether the evaporator device 2 is in defrost condition includes: obtaining the current temperature of the target area and the air outlet temperature of the refrigeration equipment, and when the temperature difference between the current temperature of the target area and the air outlet temperature of the refrigeration equipment is less than or equal to the defrost temperature difference setting value, determining that the evaporator device 2 has reached the defrost condition; if the temperature difference between the current temperature of the target area and the air outlet temperature of the refrigeration equipment is greater than the defrost temperature difference setting value, determining that the evaporator device 2 has not reached the defrost condition.
[0105] Specifically, if the evaporator device 2 has two evaporators 21, the two evaporators 21 are arranged in series; if the spray device 4 has two sprayers 41, the two evaporators 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two sprayers 41, each sprayer 41 is arranged above the corresponding evaporator 21, and each sprayer 41 is respectively connected to the output end of each second flow part 512 in a switchable manner; the control method also includes: when one of the two evaporators 21 reaches the defrost condition and the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrost mode, the sprayer 41 corresponding to the evaporator 21 that reaches the defrost condition is connected to the output end of one of the second flow parts 512 in each second flow part 512; when both of the two evaporators 21 reach the defrost condition and the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrost mode, the sprayers 41 corresponding to the two evaporators 21 are connected to the output end of one of the second flow parts 512 in each second flow part 512 in sequence. By adopting such a control method, the connection state of each sprayer 41 with the second circulation part 512 is selectively controlled in turn according to actual needs, ensuring that the defrost liquid is distributed to the corresponding evaporator 21 as needed. This ensures that the defrost liquid can be accurately sprayed onto the corresponding evaporator surface that needs to be defrosted. This improves the accuracy and efficiency of the spraying, avoids the waste and uneven distribution of the defrost liquid, and improves the defrosting efficiency. In addition, each sprayer 41 can be started and stopped independently, reducing the overall response time of the system. When rapid defrosting is required, the system can quickly start the corresponding sprayer 41 to deal with the problem of frost accumulation in a timely manner.
[0106] Specifically, if the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 flows to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, the method of sequentially controlling the connection between each first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively includes: obtaining the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51; and sequentially controlling the connection between the corresponding first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively from low to high according to the current temperature value of each phase change material. By adopting such a control method, the connection between each first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively can be accurately controlled through the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, so as to effectively adjust the flow direction of the refrigerant, realize efficient absorption and storage of the waste heat of the refrigerant, thereby improving the energy efficiency and capacity utilization rate of the system, reducing energy waste, and reducing energy consumption and the operating cost of the system. At the same time, the temperature of the refrigerant can be further reduced, thereby improving the refrigeration effect, the refrigeration capacity of the system and the performance coefficient.
[0107] Specifically, if the method of controlling the connection between the corresponding first circulation parts 511 and the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 in order from low to high according to the current temperature value of each phase change material, the method includes: when one of the first circulation parts 511 is connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2, the current temperature of the corresponding phase change material is obtained; when the current temperature of the corresponding phase change material is greater than the second preset temperature value, the first circulation part 511 is controlled to be disconnected from the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2; and another first circulation part 511 in each first circulation part 511 is controlled to be connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2. By adopting such a control method, by real-time monitoring the current temperature of the phase change material corresponding to the first circulation part 511 in the connected state, it is possible to prevent the corresponding phase change material from still performing invalid heat transfer after reaching the preset threshold, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization.
[0108] Optionally, when one of the first circulation parts 511 is respectively connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 , the other first circulation parts 511 are disconnected from the condenser 1 .
[0109] The second preset temperature value refers to the lower limit of the phase change temperature range of the phase change material. When the current temperature of the phase change material is greater than the second preset temperature value, it means that the phase change material has been completely melted. The first preset temperature value is less than the second preset temperature value. When the current temperature of the phase change material is less than or equal to the second preset temperature value and greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value, it means that the phase change material is in a solid-liquid mixed state.
[0110] The third preset temperature value is equal to or less than the second preset temperature value.
[0111] Specifically, the control method further includes: in the refrigeration mode, obtaining the current temperature of the phase change material corresponding to each first circulation part 511; after a preset time, comparing the current temperature of the phase change material corresponding to each first circulation part 511; and controlling the fourth control valve 9 corresponding to the phase change material whose current temperature is at the highest value to open according to the comparison result. By adopting such a control method, the fourth control valve 9 corresponding to the phase change material whose current temperature is at the highest value is controlled to open, so that the system can start an effective defrosting operation in the shortest time and quickly deal with the problem of frost accumulation. Thereby improving the response speed of the system. And it can also ensure that the defrosting liquid can flow through the heat exchanger with the highest temperature first, thereby improving the heat extraction efficiency.
[0112] Optionally, in the refrigeration mode, the temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is detected once at each preset time. When the temperature of the phase change material of only one first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 among each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is selected as the defrosting energy storage unit, and the fourth control valve 9 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to open. When the temperature of the phase change material of at least two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 among each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest temperature is selected as the defrosting energy storage unit, and the fourth control valve 9 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to open. The other fourth control valves 9 are in a closed state.
[0113] It can be understood that when the phase change material of the first first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is first selected as the defrost energy storage unit. After a period of time, when the phase change material of the second first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the temperature of the phase change materials of the two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 is judged, and the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest temperature is selected as the defrost energy storage unit. Whichever first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is selected as the defrost energy storage unit, the corresponding fourth control valve 9 is in an open state.
[0114] Optionally, when the number of detections reaches a preset number of times, and the temperature of the phase change materials in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is less than the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest current temperature is selected as the defrost energy storage unit. Then, during the next detection, the defrost energy storage unit is reselected based on the comparison result of the temperature of the phase change materials in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51.
[0115] Specifically, if the fourth control valve 9 and the first phase change energy storage device each have N, N ≥ 3; the control method further includes: when the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage device is greater than the second preset temperature value in the refrigeration mode, the first flow portion 511 of one of the first phase change energy storage devices corresponding to each fourth control valve 9 in the closed state is controlled to be connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively. Such a control method is adopted to ensure that the refrigerant can smoothly enter the evaporator device 2.
[0116] Specifically, the control method further includes: after the cooling mode is turned on, the current outdoor temperature is obtained to determine whether the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 flows to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 according to the current outdoor temperature; if the current outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth preset temperature value, the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 is controlled to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5; if the current outdoor temperature is less than the fourth preset temperature value, the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 is controlled to flow to the second energy storage heat exchange device 13. With such a control method, the refrigerant and the defrost liquid are selectively controlled to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 or the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 according to the current outdoor temperature. It can ensure that the outdoor temperature controls the flow direction of the refrigerant and the defrost liquid, and then different phase change temperatures can be used to effectively recover the waste heat of the condenser and ensure the best heat recovery effect. And by automatically switching between the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 and the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 according to the ambient temperature, load demand and phase change material temperature, the system can adapt to different seasons and ensure that the system can effectively perform waste heat defrosting and refrigerant secondary supercooling in different environments, thereby maximizing energy utilization efficiency.
[0117] Among them, the phase change temperature of the phase change material of the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 is different from the phase change temperature of the phase change material of the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 , and the phase change temperature of the phase change material of the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 is greater than the phase change temperature of the phase change material of the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 .
[0118] For example, the phase change temperature range of the phase change material of the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 is selected to be 45°C~50°C, and the phase change temperature range of the phase change material of the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 is selected to be 25°C~30°C.
[0119] The phase change temperature range of the phase change material is selected according to actual needs, and the phase change temperature of the phase change material can be between 0 and 100 ° C. The phase change temperature range should be slightly lower than the refrigerant temperature at the condenser outlet, so that the phase change material can be completely melted and the latent heat can be absorbed to the maximum extent, so it can vary according to different units.
[0120] For example, when the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to 20° C., the refrigerant flows to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 . When the outdoor temperature is less than 20° C., the refrigerant flows to the second energy storage heat exchange device 13 .
[0121] For another example, in winter, the refrigerant is used to flow to the second energy storage heat exchange device 13, and in summer, the refrigerant is used to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5.
[0122] Optionally, the working process of the control system is specifically as follows: Among them, the control system Figure 1As shown, there are two evaporators 21, two water receiving trays 31, two water pumps 32, and two sprayers 41, and there are N first phase-change energy storage heat exchangers 51 and N second phase-change energy storage heat exchangers 131, where N≥3.
[0123] Step 1: After the cold storage is turned on, the cooling mode is entered and the current outdoor temperature is obtained; according to the current outdoor temperature, it is determined whether the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 flows to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5. In addition, it is also determined whether to switch to the defrost mode.
[0124] Step 2: If the current outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth preset temperature value, control the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 1 to flow to the first energy storage heat exchange device 5, then obtain the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, and compare the current temperature value of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, and control the connection between the corresponding first circulation part 511 and the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 from low to high. Thereby, the refrigerant flowing out of the first energy storage heat exchange device 5 enters each evaporator 21 in turn to achieve a cooling effect.
[0125] Specifically, in the cooling mode, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are controlled to be in a closed state; the second control valve 7 is controlled to be opened, and the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is obtained. According to the current temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51, the corresponding first control valve 6 is controlled to be opened in sequence from low to high. When the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 whose current temperature of the phase change material is the lowest is opened, the first flow portion 511 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is connected to the condenser 1 and the evaporator device 2 respectively, and the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 absorbs and stores the heat released by the refrigerant. When the phase change material of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is completely melted (that is, when the heat absorption is completed), the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to be closed. Then the first control valve 6 corresponding to the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 whose current temperature of the phase change material is the second lowest is controlled to be opened. Then, the same is true. When switching from the cooling mode to the defrosting mode, the first control valve 6 and the second control valve 7 are controlled to be in a closed state.
[0126] Among them, when the current temperatures of the phase change materials of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 are consistent, the opening and closing of the first control valve 6 are controlled in sequence according to the installation position or preset designation or coding of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51.
[0127] Step 3, in the cooling mode, during the flow of the refrigerant, the temperature of the phase change material of each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is detected once at each preset time. When the temperature of the phase change material of only one first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 among each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is selected as the defrosting energy storage unit, and the fourth control valve 9 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to open. When the temperature of the phase change material of at least two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 among each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest temperature is selected as the defrosting energy storage unit, and the fourth control valve 9 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is controlled to open. The other fourth control valves 9 are in a closed state.
[0128] It can be understood that when the phase change material of the first first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is first selected as the defrost energy storage unit. After a period of time, when the phase change material of the second first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value, the temperature of the phase change materials of the two first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 is judged, and the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest temperature is selected as the defrost energy storage unit. Whichever first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is selected as the defrost energy storage unit, the corresponding fourth control valve 9 is in an open state.
[0129] Optionally, when the number of detections reaches a preset number of times, and the temperature of the phase change materials in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 is less than the second preset temperature value, the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the phase change material with the highest current temperature is selected as the defrost energy storage unit. Then, during the next detection, the defrost energy storage unit is reselected based on the comparison result of the temperature of the phase change materials in each first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51.
[0130] Step 4, when at least one of the two evaporators 21 reaches the defrost condition, and the current temperature value of the phase change material of at least one of the first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51 is greater than the first preset temperature value, the refrigeration mode is switched to the defrost mode.
[0131] Step 5, in the defrosting mode, the first control valve 6 and the second control valve 7 are controlled to be closed, and the third control valve 8, the water pump 32 and the fifth control valve 11 corresponding to the evaporator 21 to be defrosted are controlled to be opened, so that the defrosting liquid flows out from the water receiving tray 31 corresponding to the evaporator 21 to be defrosted, and then flows into the second flow portion 512 of the first phase change energy storage heat exchanger 51 corresponding to the fourth control valve 9 in the open state through the water pump 32, the filter device 10, the third control valve 8 and the fourth control valve 9 in the open state in sequence to absorb heat. The defrosting liquid after absorbing heat flows to the sprayer 41 corresponding to the evaporator 21 to be defrosted through the open fifth control valve 11, and finally the sprayer 41 sprays the defrosting liquid onto the surface of the evaporator 21, and the melted water flows back to the water receiving tray 31 after defrosting, so as to circulate.
[0132] Step 6: When both evaporators 21 reach the defrosting condition, after entering the defrosting mode, the two evaporators 21 are defrosted in sequence. Preferably, the evaporators 21 are sorted according to the refrigeration temperature, and the evaporator 21 corresponding to the lower refrigeration temperature is defrosted first.
[0133] Among them, when the phase change material of the released heat is less than the first preset temperature value (that is, when the phase change material becomes solid), the fourth control valve 9 in the open state is controlled to switch to the closed state, and then the corresponding fourth control valves 9 are opened in sequence from high to low according to the current temperature of the phase change materials of the other first phase change energy storage heat exchangers 51. One fourth control valve 9 is opened, and the other fourth control valves 9 are all in the closed state. Among them, in the defrosting state, when any one of the second circulation parts 512 is respectively connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, and it is detected that the evaporator device 2 has completed defrosting, each second circulation part 512 is controlled to be disconnected from the supply device 3 and the spray device 4, and the defrosting mode is switched to the refrigeration mode. In the defrost mode, when each second circulation part 512 is connected to the supply device 3 and the spray device 4 respectively, and the phase change materials corresponding to each second circulation part 512 are currently less than the first preset temperature value, it is detected that the evaporator device 2 has not completed defrosting, then the defrost mode is suspended, the third control valve 8 and each fourth control valve 9 are controlled to be in a closed state, and the refrigeration mode is switched.
