Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] The present application provides a method for controlling the outlet water temperature of an air conditioner. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0063] S101. For each of multiple room types, obtain calculation data of all air-conditioned rooms corresponding to the room type.

[0064] It is understandable that in order to meet the requirements of air-conditioning control for different room types, it is necessary to obtain the calculation data of all air-conditioned rooms corresponding to multiple room types, so that the PMV value can be calculated based on the calculation data. Then, as the PMV value changes, the air-conditioning chilled water outlet temperature value can be dynamically set to achieve the purpose of energy saving while ensuring user comfort.

[0065] For example, room types can include merchandise store type, discussion room type, etc. All air-conditioned rooms corresponding to a room type refer to all air-conditioned rooms in a room. Calculation data refers to data that can be used to calculate PMV values.

[0066] S102 : Calculate the PMV values ​​of the air-conditioned rooms according to the calculation data of the air-conditioned rooms, respectively.

[0067] Specifically, PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) is an index used to measure the thermal comfort of people in an air-conditioned room under a specific environment. Therefore, the PMV value of the air-conditioned room is calculated based on the obtained calculation data of the air-conditioned room. The calculation data may include air temperature, humidity, etc. required to calculate the PMV value.

[0068] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation of step S102 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0069] S201 : Determine, for each of a plurality of air-conditioned rooms, a clothing surface area coefficient based on clothing thermal resistance in calculation data of the air-conditioned rooms.

[0070] Specifically, the clothing surface coefficient f cl The formula for determining is:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, I cl is the thermal resistance of clothing, in units of square meters Kelvin per watt (m2·K / W), obtained through calculation and conversion using a calculation program. cl The surface area coefficient of clothing is I cl Function of the thermal resistance of the garment.

[0073] S202. Calculate the clothing surface temperature based on the clothing surface area coefficient and the human metabolic rate, effective mechanical power, clothing thermal resistance, average radiation temperature, convection heat transfer coefficient, and air temperature in the calculation data.

[0074] Specifically, the clothing surface temperature t cl The calculation formula is:

[0075]

[0076] Where M is the metabolic rate of the human body, W is the effective mechanical power (usually zero), I cl is the thermal resistance of clothing, is the mean radiation temperature, h c is the convective heat transfer coefficient, t a is the air temperature. It should be noted that the clothing surface temperature t is calculated using the calculation data through the calculation program. cl . t cl The surface temperature of the clothing is I cl Function of the thermal resistance of the garment.

[0077] S203. Determine the convection heat transfer coefficient according to the clothing surface temperature and the air temperature.

[0078] Specifically, the convective heat transfer coefficient h c The formula for determining is:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, t cl is the surface temperature of clothing, t a is the air temperature, v ar is the relative wind speed. h c is the convective heat transfer coefficient, is the wind speed v a function.

[0081] S204. Calculate the PMV value of the air-conditioned room using a PMV calculation function based on the calculated data of wind speed, relative humidity, human metabolic rate, air temperature, average radiation temperature, clothing thermal resistance, clothing surface area coefficient, and clothing surface temperature.

[0082] Specifically, the calculation formula of the PMV value is:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, P a is the water vapor partial pressure, which can be calculated from the air temperature and relative humidity, M is the human metabolic rate, W is the effective mechanical power (usually zero), I cl is the thermal resistance of clothing, is the mean radiation temperature, h c is the convective heat transfer coefficient, t a is the air temperature. The above parameters are all indoor parameters.

[0085] S103: Calculate the overall PMV value based on the preset weight corresponding to each room type and the PMV values ​​of all air-conditioned rooms.

[0086] It's important to note that each room type has a different weight, and therefore has a different impact on the overall PMV. For example, the comfort level of larger or frequently used rooms has a greater impact on the overall PMV. Therefore, it's necessary to first determine the preset weights for each room type. These weights can be set based on the room's area, frequency of use, number of people, or other relevant factors. The overall PMV value is then calculated using a weighted average method, combining the preset weights for each room type and the PMV values ​​of all air-conditioned rooms.

[0087] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation of step S103 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0088] S301: Obtain the number of rooms corresponding to each room type and the weight corresponding to each air-conditioned room.

[0089] Specifically, in order to reasonably evaluate and optimize the energy efficiency and comfort of the air-conditioning system in a building or facility and formulate a more accurate air-conditioning control strategy, it is necessary to obtain in advance the number of rooms corresponding to each room type and the weight corresponding to each air-conditioned room.

[0090] S302: Calculate the overall weight based on the weight corresponding to each air-conditioned room, the number of rooms, and the preset weight corresponding to each room type.

[0091] Specifically, the calculation formula for the overall weight is:

[0092]

[0093] Where n is the number of rooms, α i is the thermal comfort weight of the i-th room.

[0094] S303: Calculate the overall PMV value based on the overall weight and the PMV values ​​of all air-conditioned rooms.

[0095] Specifically, the calculation formula for the overall PMV value is:

[0096]

[0097] in, is the overall weight, n is the number of rooms, α i is the thermal comfort weight of the i-th room, PMV i is the PMV value of the i-th room.

[0098] S104. Calculate the air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature based on the overall PMV value, and send the air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature to the control device, so that the control device controls the air conditioning refrigeration outlet temperature of each air-conditioned room according to the air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature and the constraint condition.

[0099] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, the air conditioner chilled water outlet temperature is calculated based on the overall PMV value using the thermal comfort model PMV. Once the required chilled water outlet temperature for each air-conditioned room is calculated, the control system will receive this temperature value. Based on this, the control device will initiate the following control strategy:

[0100] Monitor the actual PMV value in the room: Use the temperature and humidity sensors in the room to monitor the changes in the PMV value in real time.

[0101] Adjust the chilled water temperature: Based on real-time monitoring data, the control device automatically adjusts the chilled water outlet temperature to keep the PMV value in the room as close to the target value as possible.

[0102] Consider constraints: such as the maximum chilled water temperature of the air-conditioning system, energy efficiency requirements, air-conditioning load, and other constraints to ensure that the control process is carried out under the constraints.

[0103] The control device will control the chilled water temperature in each air-conditioned room based on the above calculation results. The control strategy may include:

[0104] PID control (Proportional-Integral-Derivative control): Real-time adjustment of chilled water temperature to reduce PMV error.

[0105] Fuzzy control: When the system complexity is high or the environment changes greatly, fuzzy control can provide more flexible adjustment.

[0106] Multi-loop control: If there are multiple air-conditioned rooms, each room may have different chilled water temperature requirements. The control system can adopt a distributed control strategy to adjust it room by room.

[0107] The constraints are constructed based on pre-constructed functional relationships.

[0108] Specifically, the purpose of setting upper and lower temperature limits is: the chilled water outlet temperature usually ranges from 7 to 12°C. Below 7°C, the chiller may malfunction, mainly to protect the chiller equipment. Above 12°C, the cooling effect becomes very poor, defeating the purpose of starting the chiller. Therefore, the purpose of setting upper and lower limits is to ensure that the chiller operates under safe and stable conditions. The purpose of setting PMV upper and lower limits is: the PMV calculation results represent +3 hot, +2 warm, +1 slightly warm, 0 moderate, -1 slightly cool, -2 cool, and -3 cold. The purpose of setting upper and lower limits is to select appropriate upper and lower limits to avoid the problem of people feeling hot and cold and to ensure a certain level of comfort, which is the purpose of the constraints.

[0109] Specifically, the constraints are: 下限 ≤T≤t 上限 , PMV 舒适度下限 ≤PMV 整体 ≤PMV 舒适度上限 .

[0110] in:

[0111] t 下限 The lower limit of the outlet temperature of the chilled water of the air conditioner is in degrees Celsius (℃). 上限 The upper limit of the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning chilled water is in degrees Celsius (℃). 舒适度下限 The lower limit of the thermal comfort level of the human body. Below this lower limit, the body feels cold. 舒适度上限The upper limit of the human body's sense of thermal comfort. Above this limit, the body feels hotter. For rooms with high comfort requirements, the upper and lower limits are relatively small to maintain a certain level of comfort. For rooms with low comfort requirements, the upper and lower limits can be set larger.

[0112] The control device generally refers to a chiller. For example, if the actual outlet water temperature is 7°C and the setpoint is also 7°C, when the setpoint changes to 8°C, the controller adjusts the compressor load to change the outlet water temperature, raising the actual outlet water temperature by 8°C (this takes time, not instantaneously).

[0113] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation method of calculating the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning chilled water based on the overall PMV value in step S104 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0114] S401: Obtain an inverse relationship between the PMV value and the target air-conditioning chilled water outlet temperature.

[0115] It is understandable that in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, when PMV 整体 In PMV 舒适度下限 When the corresponding air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature T value should be t 上限 , at this time if PMV 整体 Gradually increase, the T value can be appropriately reduced to ensure user comfort. Similarly, when PMV 整体 In PMV 舒适度上限 When the corresponding air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature T value should be t 下限 At this time, if the overall PMV value gradually decreases, the T value can be appropriately increased to save energy. Therefore, it can be obtained that the relationship between the PMV value and the target air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature is inversely proportional.

[0116] S402: Construct a functional relationship between the PMV value and the target air-conditioning chilled water outlet temperature based on an inverse proportional relationship.

[0117] Specifically, through the inverse relationship, the functional relationship between the PMV value and the target air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature is constructed as a monotonically decreasing function, that is, T=f(PMV 整体 ).

[0118] S403. Calculate the chilled water outlet temperature of the air conditioner using a functional relationship based on the overall PMV value.

[0119] Specifically, substitute the overall PMV value into the functional relationship T=f(PMV 整体 ) is solved to obtain the air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature.

[0120] Optionally, after the air conditioner chilled water outlet temperature is sent to the control device, that is, after executing step S104, the frequency of calculating the air conditioner chilled water outlet temperature may be controlled to reduce the computational burden, improve the operating efficiency of the system, avoid system overreaction or oscillation, maintain system stability, save energy and improve efficiency, and reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Therefore, another embodiment of the present application provides a method for calculating the frequency, comprising the following steps:

[0121] Get the custom delay time.

[0122] Optionally, the delay time ranges from 5 to 60 minutes, and of course it can also be other time thresholds, which can be specifically set according to needs.

[0123] Determine whether the delay time is greater than a preset threshold.

[0124] It should be noted that if the air conditioning is controlled too frequently, the temperature cannot remain stable, which is detrimental to the safe operation of the equipment and system. Therefore, a delay time can be set to control the temperature. In other words, it is determined whether the delay time is greater than a preset threshold. If the delay time is greater than the preset threshold, the chilled water outlet temperature set point T (°C) needs to be calculated in real time, and therefore it is necessary to immediately return to step S101. If the delay time is not greater than the preset threshold, the chilled water outlet temperature set point T (°C) can be calculated at corresponding intervals, that is, the execution of step S101 is periodically returned.

[0125] For ease of understanding, the control process of the air conditioning refrigeration outlet water temperature of this application can be described below using a specific application scenario. This application scenario takes a large project in Beijing as an example to illustrate the implementation method of this control method in an actual project.

[0126] The control method is built into the integrated energy management and control platform. Received telesignaling signals and telemetered values ​​are transmitted via wired communication from the field equipment control cabinet to the industrial gateway, which then transmits them to the integrated energy management and control platform via wired or wireless communication. The integrated energy management and control platform analyzes and calculates the data and issues control commands to the PLC or DCC control cabinet for control, or directly to the local equipment for control.

[0127] This application scenario uses the following formula to calculate the PMV value of each room in the commercial complex:

[0128]

[0129]

[0130]

[0131]

[0132] Methods for obtaining or setting parameters:

[0133] t a Air temperature: obtained through the room indoor temperature and humidity sensor, in degrees Celsius (℃).

[0134] RH air relative humidity: obtained through the room indoor temperature and humidity sensor, the unit is percentage (%).

[0135] Mean radiant temperature: equal to the air temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius (℃).

[0136] v a Wind speed: Considering the indoor scene of commercial complexes, combined with the provisions of the national standard "GB / T 28591-2012 Wind Force Level", set v a The wind speed is 0.1m / s.

[0137] M human metabolic rate: Considering the sales and shopping scenarios in commercial complexes, and in accordance with the provisions of the national standard "GB / T 18049-2017 Ergonomics of thermal environments - Analysis, measurement and interpretation of thermal comfort by calculating PMV and PPD indices and local thermal comfort criteria", the M human metabolic rate is set to 1.4met.

[0138] I cl Clothing thermal resistance: Considering the comprehensive clothing of people in the air-conditioning and cooling season, combined with the provisions of the national standard "GB / T 18049-2017 Ergonomics of thermal environment - Analysis, measurement and interpretation of thermal comfort by calculating PMV and PPD index and local thermal comfort criteria", set I cl The thermal resistance of the clothing is 0.76clo. For other parameters, please refer to the description of the above embodiment.

[0139] The PMV value of each room is calculated based on the above six data values ​​of each room.

[0140] The commercial complex has a total of 134 rooms in an independent cooling area, which are functional types of stores, restaurants and toilets. The PMV weights of each room are shown in Table 1 below:

[0141] Room Type Sales Store Restaurants bathroom total Number of rooms (n) 119 11 4 134 Room Type Weight a b c 1 Weight of each room (αi) a / 119 b / 11 c / 4 /

[0142] From the above table, the overall PMV value of the commercial complex is calculated as follows:

[0143]

[0144] In this embodiment, the basis for assigning weights to PMV values ​​is the room function type, which is only an example of the requirements of this patent. Other methods for assigning weights to PMV values ​​based on various room conditions are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0145] The functional relationship between the air conditioning chilled water outlet temperature setting value T (℃) and the overall PMV value of the commercial complex is as follows: T=f(PMV 整体商业 ).

[0146] The constraints are as follows:

[0147] t 下限 ≤T≤t 上限
