Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning control, and in particular to a method for controlling a full air conditioning unit for space comfort needs. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of social economy, energy consumption continues to grow. The large-scale use of fossil energy such as oil and natural gas has not only aggravated the problem of energy shortage, but also caused a serious environmental crisis. The proposal of the "dual carbon" goal has further enhanced the society's attention to energy conservation and emission reduction. In my country's energy consumption structure, the energy consumption of building operation has exceeded 40%, which is much higher than that of transportation and industry, and the energy consumption of air-conditioning units accounts for 50% to 60% of the total energy consumption of buildings. Therefore, optimizing the operation of air-conditioning units is an important breakthrough in achieving energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0003] The all-air air conditioning unit consists of an air handling system and a water system. The energy consumption of the water system is much higher than that of the wind system, and it is the main part of the energy consumption of the air conditioning unit. Traditional designs are usually based on full load conditions. When outdoor meteorological parameters or indoor heat source conditions deviate from the design conditions, the system energy consumption may increase significantly, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, by scientifically regulating the operating parameters of the wind system and the water system, the energy consumption of the air conditioning unit can be effectively reduced, and its energy-saving potential can be fully tapped to help achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals.

[0093] Step 1.3, based on the meteorological parameters of step 1.1 and the parameters of step 1.2, the load of the air conditioning unit is calculated, wherein the load of the air conditioning unit includes a sensible heat load and a latent heat load;

[0094] The calculation formula of sensible heat load is: Q sens =A×U×(T out -T in )+N×Q person_sens +P equip ×η equip ,

[0095] Where: Q sens : Sensible heat load, unit: W;

[0096] T in : Indoor target temperature, unit: ℃;

[0097] Q person_sens : Sensible heat dissipation of a single person, unit: W, usually 70W;

[0099] Where: Q latent : Latent heat load, unit: W;

[0100] Q person_latent : Single person latent heat dissipation, unit: W, value 40W;

[0101] Air conditioning unit load calculation formula: Q total =Q sens +Q latent ;

[0102] Step 1.3 also includes the following steps:

[0103] Step 1.31 Preliminary measurement calibration:

[0104] Input the meteorological parameters collected in step 1.1 and the building enclosure parameters, equipment power, and number of personnel N determined in step 1.2 to calculate the preliminary load result Q init , where Q init =Q total;

[0105] in:

[0106] Q init : Preliminary load result, unit: W;

[0107] Step 1.32 Secondary precision calibration:

[0108] The preliminary load result Q init Perform precision calibration, combining environmental parameters such as light source intensity L and humidity RH out , output the calibrated load result Q calibrated;

[0109] The calibration formula is: Q calibrated =Q init +k 1 ×(LL target )+k 2 ×(RH out -RH target )

[0110] Where: Q calibrated : Load result after calibration, unit: W;

[0111] k 1 , k 2 : calibration coefficient, obtained by fitting the experimental data;

[0112] L target : Light source intensity target value;

[0113] RH target : Humidity target value;

[0114] Step 1.33 Comprehensive evaluation:

[0115] Based on the preliminary load results Q init And the calibrated load result Q calibrated , calculate the comprehensive index Q through nonlinear combination final , used to further optimize the operating parameters of the air-conditioning unit;

[0116] The comprehensive evaluation formula is: Q = w 1 ×ln(1+Q init )+w 2 ×ln(1+Q calibrated ), where: Q: comprehensive load; w 1 ,w 2 : Dynamic weighting coefficient, dynamically adjusted according to the control target.

[0117] Step 1.4: Based on the number of people in the room obtained in step 1.2, the fresh air volume is 30m 3 / h·person Determine the fresh air volume delivered to the room, and determine the return air volume delivered to the room according to the air conditioning unit load calculated in step 1.3. The sum of the fresh air volume and the return air volume is the total supply air volume;

[0118] The fresh air volume formula is: G xf =N×30, where: G xf : Fresh air volume, unit: m 3 / h; N: number of people;

[0119] Return air volume formula: G hf =G max -G xf , where: G hf : Return air volume, unit: m 3 / h; G max : Total air supply volume.

[0120] Step 1.5, based on the enclosure structure parameters determined in step 1.2, establish the airflow organization model of the building space air conditioning, input the meteorological parameters and indoor equipment power and number of personnel into the model, and the total air volume determined in step 1.4 is delivered into the room at a fixed supply air temperature to simulate the airflow organization.

[0121] Step 1.6, calculate the PMV value based on the simulation results. When the absolute value of PMV is less than 1, the fresh air valve and return air valve opening corresponding to the fresh air volume and return air volume are output; when the PMV value does not meet the requirements, adjust the return air volume, re-enter the total air supply volume into the model, and perform iterative calculations until the PMV meets the requirements; model iteration process: The system uses a model based on real-time data to optimize the indoor environment. The model is carried out through the following steps:

[0122] Initial model setting: Based on the sensor data, the system establishes the initial air quality and PMV value model;

[0123] Parameter adjustment: adjust control parameters according to feedback data, iterate and optimize the model;

[0124] Result verification and correction: Finally, the air quality and comfort results output by the model are verified and the parameters are corrected.

[0125] Step 1.7, based on the total air volume determined in step 1.6, the amount of cooling water required by the air conditioning unit AHU is calculated, and the water valve opening is calculated;

[0126] Step 1.8, when the number of people in the room changes, adjust the fresh air volume and repeat the above steps for iterative calculation until the PMV value meets the requirements; when the meteorological parameters change, the fresh air volume remains unchanged and repeat the above steps for iterative calculation until the PMV value meets the requirements.

[0127] The building space air conditioning airflow organization model includes the enclosure structure, air supply duct, return air outlet, exhaust duct, indoor equipment power, and the number of people. Temperature sensors and humidity sensors should be installed inside and outside the enclosure structure. Indoor population counting sensors and wind speed sensors should also be installed indoors to obtain the real-time number of people indoors and the wind speed at the indoor activity range of people.

[0128] Indoor People Counting Sensor: Indoor People Counting Sensor is used to monitor the number of people in a room in real time by detecting human body heat radiation or using infrared technology to count the number of people in the room. The sensor works in the following ways:

[0129] Thermal radiation method: Determine the number of people by measuring the infrared radiation emitted by the human body;

[0130] Infrared sensor: determines the position and quantity based on the changes in infrared signals from the human body.

[0131] Wind speed sensor: The wind speed sensor regulates the speed of air flow by measuring wind speed. This sensor usually uses a hot wire anemometer or ultrasonic wind speed sensor to obtain data and provide real-time wind speed information for the control system to adjust the fan speed.

[0132] The fresh air volume is determined by the number of people indoors, and the return air volume is determined by the indoor PMV situation; the supply air temperature remains unchanged, and the indoor environment is regulated by controlling the opening of the fresh air valve and the return air valve.

[0133] The psychrometric chart is a tool for analyzing the thermal and humid state of air, and is used to describe the relationship between the temperature, humidity, and enthalpy of air. This solution uses the psychrometric chart to determine the initial state point (based on indoor and outdoor air parameters) and target state point (based on the PMV target range) of air treatment, and plans the path to achieve optimal control.

[0134] Specific path planning includes operations such as heating, cooling, dehumidification or humidification to achieve dynamic adjustment of the air state point to the target point.

[0135] Specifically, the starting point of the psychrometric chart represents the temperature and humidity state of the input air, which is calculated based on the indoor and outdoor air parameters.

[0136] The end point represents the final temperature and humidity state of the air while meeting the PMV target;

[0137] The regulation path is completed by controlling the heating, cooling, humidification or dehumidification of the air (such as Figure 8 shown).

[0138] The changes in the air handling process on the enthalpy-humidity diagram can be summarized as follows:

[0139] Step 4.1: Determine the number of indoor design personnel as n, and the minimum fresh air volume per person is 30m 3 / h·person Calculate the fresh air volume, and preliminarily determine the return air volume according to the total air supply volume G of fresh air plus return air max Supply air;

[0140] The ratio of fresh air volume to return air volume is adjusted by real-time monitoring of indoor and outdoor air parameters (such as CO concentration, temperature and humidity difference). This solution dynamically adjusts the mixing ratio of fresh air and return air according to indoor air quality requirements (such as CO concentration target) and energy-saving requirements.

[0141] When the indoor CO concentration increases, increase the proportion of fresh air volume to ensure air quality; when the outdoor temperature difference is large, reduce the fresh air volume to reduce energy consumption;

[0142] Step 4.2: Based on the fresh air volume and return air volume obtained in step 4.1, combined with formula (1) and formula (2), determine the opening degree K of the fresh air valve, exhaust valve and return air valve. xf , K pf and K hf ;

[0143]

[0144] Among them, K pf and K xf are the openings of exhaust valve and fresh air valve, %; G xf is the fresh air volume, m 3 / h; G max is the total air supply volume of the air conditioning unit, m 3 / h; K hf is the return air valve opening, %; G hf is the actual return air volume, m 3 / h.

[0145] The air conditioning unit adjusts key parameters such as air supply, humidity, and temperature in real time through the control system. The core of the control system is the adaptive control algorithm, which adjusts the working parameters of the air conditioning unit based on the input environmental data (such as temperature and humidity sensor data) and the PMV value calculation results. The specific operation logic is as follows:

[0146] Real-time monitoring and feedback: The temperature and humidity sensors in the air conditioning unit provide real-time feedback on the temperature and humidity data of the air in the room;

[0147] Data input and processing: Sensor data is input to the control system, which adjusts the temperature and humidity set points of the unit based on the calculated PMV value;

[0148] Output regulation: By executing control commands, the air conditioning unit adjusts the air volume and cold / hot air flow to ensure that the indoor environment remains within the set comfort range.

[0149] In addition, the system also supports users to customize the temperature range (such as the comfortable temperature range of 20°C to 25°C). When the temperature exceeds the range, the system automatically adjusts the unit parameters.

[0150] Step 4.3, the processing process of the air conditioning unit on the psychrometric diagram is: The mixed air is processed by the air conditioning unit and reaches point L; the rated supply and return water temperature difference of the air conditioning unit is constant, so under the design condition, the water valve opening is 100%;

[0151] Step 4.4, establish a model according to the above parameters, and calculate the PMV value within the range of personnel activities according to the simulation results; the specific calculation process of the PMV value is as follows:

[0152]

[0153] Where M represents the metabolic rate of the human body, W / m 2 , indicating the activity intensity of indoor personnel, the value range is 116~197.3W / m 2 ; W is the mechanical work produced by the human body, W / m 2 , usually zero; p a is the water vapor partial pressure of air, kPa; t a is the indoor air temperature, obtained by the indoor temperature sensor, ℃; f cl is the clothing coefficient, which is the ratio of clothing surface area to the total surface area of ​​the human body; cl is the outer surface temperature of the garment, ℃; t r is the average radiation temperature of the environment, here it is taken as the air temperature, ℃; h c is the air convection heat transfer coefficient, W / m 2 K; where f cl From formula (4), we can get:

[0154]

[0155] In the formula, I cl is the thermal resistance of clothing, m 2 K / W;

[0156] t cl From formula (5), we can get:

[0157]

[0158] Where: dT = t r -20;h c is the convective heat transfer coefficient, which is obtained by formula (6):

[0159]

[0160] Where v represents the wind speed, which is obtained by the indoor wind speed sensor, m / s.
