Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and relates to a control method of an air conditioning chilled water system, in particular to a control method, device, equipment and medium of an air conditioning chilled water system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current control method of the air conditioning chilled water system mostly adopts a single control method, such as a single pressure difference control method and a single temperature difference control method. The single pressure difference control is divided into constant pressure difference control and variable pressure difference control. The variable pressure difference control needs to set a pressure sensor at each terminal to compare the pressure difference of the most unfavorable terminal at any time and adjust the water pump speed according to the value, so the investment is relatively high, the control logic is complicated and prone to error, and the implementation is difficult. In the actual application process of the constant pressure difference control, according to the setting position of the pressure difference sensor, it is divided into terminal main pipe constant pressure difference control and initial main pipe constant pressure difference control. However, the two kinds of variable pressure difference control methods cannot finely control the flow supply and demand of the system, and both have a certain hysteresis, that is, the flow changes of other users cannot be quickly reflected on the pressure difference, which leads to that the system cannot timely change the flow delivery, the control precision is not enough, and causes power waste. In addition, this single pressure difference control method needs the user end to be equipped with a precise full-automatic air conditioner, and the flow demand changes of the user end are reflected on the changes of the pressure difference, and then the flow of the entire air conditioning chilled water system is controlled. The single temperature difference control method adjusts the speed of the chilled water pump according to the change of the load in the air conditioning chilled water system to match the system flow with the load. However, since the single temperature difference control method cannot detect the difference of the load changes of different floors, it may cause the phenomenon that the air conditioner fails due to insufficient chilled water pressure of some floors. In addition, the single temperature difference control method can only reflect the temperature change after the chilled water passes through a cycle, so the timeliness of the control is poor. Although this method can stabilize the total water supply or return water temperature of the system to a certain extent, it cannot accurately allocate the chilled water required by each user according to the load change and provide appropriate water pressure.

[0003] In actual application, whether it is the single pressure difference control method or the single temperature difference control method, it will lead to uneven distribution of the cold energy and flow of each user in the air conditioning chilled water system, which is easy to cause the phenomenon of underflow or overflow of some users, leads to deviation of the return water temperature, and causes insufficient or waste of energy consumption; in addition, both of them adjust the frequency of the chilled water pump through unified control, which will have a certain time interval, the flow supply has hysteresis, which leads to that the system cannot timely change the flow delivery, the control precision is not enough, and causes power waste.

[0048] For the purpose of the present application, technical solutions and advantages are more clear and obvious, through the following examples and combining with the drawings, the further detailed description of the technical solutions in the embodiment of the present application.It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the invention.

[0049] For the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present application first provides a control method of air conditioning chilled water system, by acquiring the real-time chilled water supply temperature and real-time chilled water return temperature of each user in the air conditioning chilled water system;Among them, the air conditioning chilled water system contains the cold quantity-flow integrated control valve arranged at the inlet end of each user;Based on the real-time chilled water supply temperature and real-time chilled water return temperature of each user, the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user is obtained;Based on the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user, the opening degree of the cold quantity-flow integrated control valve is controlled.

[0050] The cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve is applied to the air conditioning chilled water system for the first time, the opening degree of the cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve is adjusted in real time according to the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user end, the chilled water in the air conditioning chilled water system is evenly distributed among the users, and the cold quantity distribution is balanced; compared with the flow control in the prior art, the chilled water supply of the user end is more accurate by controlling the cold quantity in the application, and the real-time adjustment according to the temperature difference does not cause underflow or overflow, the real-time reasonable and balanced distribution of the chilled water in the entire air conditioning chilled water system is achieved, and the energy consumption is more saved.

[0051] In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the application, first, the control method of the air conditioning chilled water system in the embodiments of the application is described in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The control method of the air conditioning chilled water system in the embodiments of the application is described in detail. Figure 1 The flow diagram of the control method of the air conditioning chilled water system in the embodiments of the application is shown, which includes the following steps:

[0052] S11, the real-time chilled water supply temperature and the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user in the air conditioning chilled water system are obtained.

[0053] The real-time chilled water supply temperature of each user is the chilled water temperature on the inlet pipeline before flowing through each user after being refrigerated by the chiller, and the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user is the chilled water temperature on the outlet pipeline after flowing through each user.

[0054] S12, the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user is obtained based on the real-time chilled water supply temperature and the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user.

[0055] The supply and return water temperature difference is the difference between the chilled water temperature after flowing through each user and the chilled water temperature after being refrigerated by the chiller.

[0056] S13, the opening degree of the cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve is controlled based on the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user.

[0057] The control method of the air conditioning chilled water system in the application ensures the on-demand distribution of chilled water among users in the entire air conditioning chilled water system, can effectively reduce the delay and non-precision caused by the single pressure difference control or temperature control in the prior art, in this case, since the cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve changes in real time according to the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user, the chilled water demand of each user can be met in real time, therefore, the water pump does not need to change in real time, so that the air conditioning chilled water system runs more stably.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, the control method further comprises: obtaining the total average chilled water cooling capacity of all users in the unit mapping time period, and taking the sum of the total average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period and the set excess cooling capacity as the supply-demand cooling capacity in the next unit mapping time period, so as to ensure that the supply-demand cooling capacity in the chilled water system of the air conditioner changes in intervals of the unit mapping time period.

[0059] Figure 2 A flowchart of a control method for a chilled water pump in a chilled water system of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, which comprises the following steps:

[0060] S21, obtaining the total average chilled water cooling capacity of all users in the unit mapping time period, and taking the sum of the total average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period and the set excess cooling capacity as the supply-demand cooling capacity in the next unit mapping time period.

[0061] S22, adjusting the working frequency of the chilled water pump based on the corresponding supply-demand cooling capacity in the next unit mapping time period.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, the obtaining of the total average chilled water cooling capacity of all users in the unit mapping time period comprises: obtaining the real-time chilled water flow of each user in the chilled water system of the air conditioner; obtaining the real-time chilled water cooling capacity of each user based on the real-time chilled water supply-return temperature difference and the real-time chilled water flow of each user; obtaining the average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period based on the real-time chilled water cooling capacity data string of each user in the unit mapping time period; and obtaining the total average chilled water cooling capacity of all users in the unit mapping time period based on the average chilled water cooling capacity of each user in the unit mapping time period.

[0063] Figure 3 A flowchart of the obtaining of the total average chilled water cooling capacity of all users in the unit mapping time period in a control method for a chilled water system of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, which comprises the following steps:

[0064] S31, obtaining the real-time chilled water supply temperature, the real-time chilled water return temperature and the real-time chilled water flow of each user in the chilled water system of the air conditioner.

[0065] The real-time chilled water supply temperature of each user is the chilled water temperature on the inlet pipeline before the chilled water flows through each user after being refrigerated by the chiller unit, the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user is the chilled water temperature on the outlet pipeline after the chilled water flows through each user, and the real-time chilled water flow of each user is the real-time chilled water flow through each user.

[0066] S32, obtaining the real-time chilled water supply-return temperature difference of each user based on the real-time chilled water supply temperature and the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user.

[0067] The supply and return water temperature difference is the difference between the chilled water temperature after flowing through each user and the chilled water temperature after being refrigerated by the water chiller.

[0068] S33, based on the real-time supply and return water temperature difference and the real-time chilled water flow rate of each user, the real-time chilled water cooling capacity of each user is obtained.

[0069] The cooling capacity in the present application is the actual chilled water consumption of the user end, i.e. the chilled water energy consumption.

[0070] Specifically, based on the cooling capacity-flow rate calculation formula P = Q x c x ΔT, the real-time chilled water cooling capacity of each user is calculated, wherein P is the chilled water cooling capacity (kW), Q is the flow rate of chilled water (m 3 / h), c is the specific heat capacity of water (kJ / kg·℃), and ΔT is the supply and return water temperature difference (℃). Since the monitored chilled water flow rate is in units of m 3 / h, it is necessary to convert the chilled water flow rate from m 3 / h to L / s when actually operating using the above formula. Since 1000L = 1m 3 , 1h = 3600s, therefore m 3 / h needs to be converted to L / s to obtain the final cooling capacity P value of the formula P = Q x c x ΔT / 3.6.

[0071] S34, based on the real-time chilled water cooling capacity data string of each user in a unit mapping time period, the average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period is obtained.

[0072] Specifically, the average value of the plurality of real-time chilled water cooling capacities of each user in the unit mapping time period is obtained, i.e. the average chilled water cooling capacity of each user in the unit mapping time period is obtained.

[0073] S35, based on the average chilled water cooling capacity of each user in a unit mapping time period, the average chilled water cooling capacity sum of all users in the unit mapping time period is obtained.

[0074] Specifically, the average chilled water cooling capacities of each user in the unit mapping time period are summed, i.e. the average chilled water cooling capacity sum of all users in the unit mapping time period is obtained.

[0075] The control method of the air-conditioning chilled water system provided in this embodiment obtains the chilled water supply temperature, real-time chilled water return temperature and chilled water flow of each user in the air-conditioning chilled water system in real time, and obtains the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user based on the real-time chilled water supply temperature and real-time chilled water return temperature of each user; obtains the real-time chilled water cooling capacity of each user based on the real-time supply and return water temperature difference and real-time chilled water flow of each user, and obtains the average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period based on the real-time chilled water cooling capacity data string of each user in the unit mapping time period; obtains the sum of the average chilled water cooling capacity of all users in the unit mapping time period based on the average chilled water cooling capacity of each user in the unit mapping time period, and uses the sum of the average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period and the set surplus cooling capacity as the supply demand cooling capacity in the next unit mapping time period, thereby adjusting the operating frequency of the chilled water pump according to the supply demand cooling capacity; compared with the existing technology, the control method in this application controls the chilled water pump frequency according to the chilled water cooling capacity demand of each user, which can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the chilled water pump and reduce energy waste.

[0076] It should be noted that the water pump frequency can be controlled by cooling capacity control as described in this application, or by flow control.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, by monitoring the real-time chilled water flow and real-time chilled water return temperature of the user, and based on the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user, the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user is obtained, and based on the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user, the opening and closing degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve is controlled to meet the chilled water flow requirements of each user, thereby realizing on-demand distribution of chilled water flow in the entire air-conditioning chilled water system and achieving supply and demand balance.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, the opening and closing degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve changes according to the real-time supply and return water temperature difference of each user. When the temperature difference is large, the opening and closing degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve becomes larger, and when the temperature difference is small, the opening and closing degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve becomes smaller.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG, it is a schematic diagram of chilled water cooling capacity control for each unit mapping time period in this embodiment. Figure 4 The middle horizontal axis is the time axis, with the unit mapping time period being t. The sum of the average chilled water cooling capacity and the surplus cooling capacity of all users in the first unit mapping time period (Pt+△P) is used as the supply and demand cooling capacity for the next unit mapping time period. The sum of the average chilled water cooling capacity and the surplus cooling capacity of all users in the next time period (P2t+△P) is used as the supply and demand cooling capacity for the next time period, and so on.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the unit mapping time period is any one of 50-180 seconds, such as 50-80 seconds, 80-100 seconds, 100-150 seconds, or 150-180 seconds. If the unit mapping time period is too long (e.g., 10 minutes), the supply and demand flow rate changes too slowly, and the user's needs cannot be met in a timely manner. If the unit mapping time period is too short (e.g., 3 seconds or 10 seconds), the supply and demand flow rate changes too quickly, the entire air conditioning chilled water system calculation and water flow rate change is too frequent, the system stability index is reduced, and the energy consumption is large. It should be noted that the unit mapping time period can also be artificially set and adjusted. The unit mapping time period can be determined based on the change in the average chilled water cooling capacity sum of all users, such as the change speed and change amplitude of the average chilled water cooling capacity sum of all users at a similar time. For example, if the change speed is fast and the change amplitude is large, a shorter or smaller unit mapping time period can be set.

[0081] In a more specific embodiment, the unit mapping time period is specifically 60 seconds. The sum of the average chilled water cooling capacity sum of all users and the excess cooling capacity obtained in the previous 60 seconds is used as the actual supply and demand flow rate in the next 60 seconds.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, the excess cooling capacity is 5%-10% of the average chilled water cooling capacity sum, and the excess cooling capacity is fixed in the unit mapping time period. The value of the excess cooling capacity in the next unit mapping time period is 5%-10% of the average chilled water cooling capacity sum in the previous unit mapping time period, such as 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, or 10%. If the value of the excess cooling capacity is too small (e.g., 1%), when the chilled water cooling capacity demand at the user end increases, the supplied chilled water cooling capacity cannot meet the user's needs. If the value of the excess cooling capacity is too small (e.g., 15%), the total supplied chilled water cooling capacity greatly exceeds the chilled water cooling capacity demand at the user end, resulting in waste of cooling capacity.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, a target supply and return water temperature difference is set for each user end in the air conditioning chilled water system. When the real-time supply and return water temperature difference exceeds the range of the target supply and return water temperature difference, the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control valve is controlled to supply the required chilled water flow rate, and the real-time supply and return water temperature difference is maintained within the range of the target supply and return water temperature difference.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the target supply and return water temperature difference is 5-6°C. If the set range of the target supply and return water temperature difference is too small (e.g., 5-5.2°C), the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control valve changes too quickly, which is not conducive to stable operation of the system. If the set range of the target supply and return water temperature difference is too large (e.g., 5-8°C), the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control valve changes too slowly, and the chilled water flow rate demand at the user end cannot be met in a timely manner.

[0085] In a more specific embodiment, when the real-time supply-return water temperature difference of the user end is less than 5℃, the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve is controlled to be less than the current opening degree to control the chilled water flow through the user to decrease, so that the real-time supply-return water temperature difference increases to the target supply-return water temperature difference range.

[0086] In a more specific embodiment, when the real-time supply-return water temperature difference of the user end is greater than 6℃, the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve is controlled to be greater than the current opening degree to control the chilled water flow through the user to increase, so that the real-time supply-return water temperature difference decreases to the target supply-return water temperature difference range.

[0087] Referring to Figure 5 , which shows an application scenario schematic diagram of the control method of the air conditioning chilled water system in an embodiment; the air conditioning chilled water system includes users, regulating valves, thermometers, chilled water pumps, water chillers, bypass valves, and a control center; the regulating valve is a cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve and is arranged on the chilled water pipeline of each user to monitor the real-time chilled water flow of each user and control the real-time chilled water flow through each user by controlling the opening degree of the regulating valve; the water chiller is connected with the chilled water pump to perform refrigeration processing on the water pumped by the chilled water pump; the bypass valve is arranged on the bypass pipeline of the air conditioning chilled water system; and the control center serves as a monitoring platform and is used to collect the real-time chilled water return water temperature and the real-time chilled water flow of each user to adjust the working frequency of the chilled water pump based on the supply demand cooling capacity.

[0088] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioning chilled water system includes one or more users, and any user and any other user are arranged in parallel based on the chilled water pipeline.

[0089] In a specific embodiment, the user is a floor, a communication machine room unit, or a communication device unit.

[0090] If the user is a floor, each floor user can further include one or more rooms.

[0091] In a more specific embodiment, the cooling capacity-flow integrated control regulating valve can be arranged on the water inlet pipeline of the floor or on the water inlet pipeline of each room in the floor to achieve precise control of each room.

[0092] In another more specific embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, a room is taken as an example for a user, which contains a plurality of working hosts 603, an air flow sealed channel 604 between every two rows of hosts, a plurality of air conditioners 605, an inlet water pipeline 602, an outlet water pipeline 601 and a cold quantity-flow integrated control valve 606. Due to heat dissipation of the hosts, hot air is formed and enters the air flow sealed channel 604, and then is sucked by the air conditioner and cooled by heat exchange of the refrigerated water pipeline at the air conditioner to form cold air and is sent out again. Thus, the air conditioning system forms air circulation, and the refrigerated water in the inlet water pipeline 602 is heated after heat exchange, flows into the outlet water pipeline 601 and is cooled by the chiller unit again to flow into the water supply pipeline. Thus, the air conditioning refrigerated water system forms water circulation, and the cold quantity-flow integrated control valve 606 adjusts the opening degree in real time according to the supply and return water temperature difference to accurately meet the refrigerated water demand of the user end. The hot air in the air circulation is cooled to cold air by the water circulation, and the refrigerated water in the water circulation is further cooled by the chiller unit after the temperature is increased, and the air circulation and the water circulation interact to achieve dynamic balance adjustment effect.

[0093] In some optional embodiments, further taking the water circulation and air circulation in a single room as an example, Figure 7 In some optional embodiments, further taking the water circulation and air circulation in a single room as an example, the working hosts are heated due to data operation and the like, the air conditioner blows cold air to provide a low-temperature environment to cool the working hosts, the air blown out of the working hosts is hot air, the hot air blown out of each working host enters the sealed channel, the hot air in the sealed channel is sucked by the air conditioner, is cooled by heat exchange with the corresponding refrigerated water pipeline in the air conditioner and is sent out again as cold air, thereby forming air circulation between the working hosts and the air conditioner. In addition, the refrigerated water in the water supply pipeline corresponding to the air conditioner is heated to form hot water which enters the return water pipeline and is cooled by the chiller unit again to enter the water supply pipeline, thereby forming water circulation. In some optional embodiments, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is constant.

[0094] In some optional embodiments, the constant air supply temperature is selected from any one of the determined values in 21-23℃. The constant air supply temperature is artificially set.

[0095] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner of each user end is provided with an on-off valve, and the air conditioner can automatically adjust the opening degree of the on-off valve according to the supply and return air temperature to meet the refrigeration requirement.

[0096] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner end does not contain a processor and a regulating valve, and cannot automatically control the refrigerated water flow.

[0097] In some alternative embodiments, the cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve is arranged at the water inlet end of each user of the air conditioning chilled water system to monitor the chilled water flow of each user in real time, and to adjust the chilled water flow through the user by adjusting the opening degree of the regulating valve to meet the real-time required chilled water cold quantity of the user.

[0098] In some alternative embodiments, the air conditioning chilled water system is provided with a thermometer at the chilled water return end of each user to monitor the return water temperature in real time.

[0099] In some alternative embodiments, the chiller is used to cool the water pumped by the chilled water pump, and the chilled water temperature after being cooled by the chiller is any one of 15-18℃.

[0100] In a specific embodiment, the chilled water temperature of the chiller is 16℃, and as shown in the figure, the temperature of the air conditioning chilled water cooled by the chiller is constant at 16℃, i.e., the supply water temperature of the air conditioning chilled water flowing through each user is 16℃. Figure 5

[0101] In another specific embodiment, since the chilled water temperature of the chiller is slowly increased when the chiller is started and stopped, a thermometer needs to be arranged on the supply water pipeline to monitor the supply water temperature in real time, and a thermometer needs to be arranged on the outlet pipeline of each user to monitor the chilled water return water temperature of each user in real time, so as to calculate the real-time supply-return water temperature difference of each user, and to adjust the opening degree of the cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve based on the real-time supply-return water temperature difference to ensure that the supply-return water temperature difference is within the set range.

[0102] In a specific embodiment, in the next unit mapping time period, when the working frequency of the chilled water pump is adjusted based on the corresponding supply demand cold quantity, the control center calculates the current or voltage signal of the water pump that meets the demand in the next unit mapping time period based on the corresponding supply demand cold quantity in the last unit mapping time period, and the chilled water pump works according to the corresponding working frequency after receiving the current or voltage signal to provide chilled water with the supply demand cold quantity into the air conditioning chilled water system.

[0103] For the cloud computing communication machine room or intelligent computing center scenario involved in the present application, since the working host of each user end changes in real time, the host temperature changes in real time, and the chilled water temperature after flowing through the user changes in real time, since the supply water temperature is constant, in order to maintain the supply-return water temperature difference within the set range, the control center controls the opening degree of the cold quantity-flow integrated control regulating valve to maintain the chilled water flow through the user within the set range of the supply-return water temperature difference. Figure 5 ​As shown, the control center acquires the real-time chilled water return temperature of each user monitored by the thermometer, and calculates the real-time supply-return water temperature difference of each user. When the real-time supply-return water temperature difference of each user exceeds the set target supply-return water temperature difference range, the control center controls the opening degree of the cooling-flow integrated control regulating valve to increase or decrease to supply the required chilled water flow of the user, so that the supply-return water temperature difference is maintained within the set range; based on the real-time supply-return water temperature difference and the real-time chilled water flow of each user, the real-time chilled water cooling capacity of each user is acquired, the average chilled water cooling capacity in the unit mapping time period is acquired based on the real-time chilled water cooling capacity data string of each user in the unit mapping time period, the average chilled water cooling capacity sum of all users in the unit mapping time period is acquired based on the average chilled water cooling capacity of each user in the unit mapping time period, and the average chilled water cooling capacity sum in the unit mapping time period and the set sum of excess cooling capacity are taken as the supply demand cooling capacity in the next unit mapping time period; the control center calculates the supply demand cooling capacity, and converts the cooling capacity signal into a current or voltage signal, which can directly correspond to the frequency value of the chilled water pump, so as to control and adjust the working frequency of the chilled water pump.

[0104] In some optional embodiments, when the number of operating chiller units in the air conditioning chilled water system is ≥1, and the real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum of the users increases to more than 85% of the rated cooling capacity of the chiller units of the current operating number, and remains unchanged per unit time, the control increases the operating number of the chiller units to ensure that the real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum is met.

[0105] In some optional embodiments, when the number of operating chiller units in the air conditioning chilled water system is ≥2, and the real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum is less than 40% of the rated cooling capacity of the operating chiller units, and remains unchanged per unit time, the control reduces the operating number of the chiller units.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 8 , which shows a flowchart of the execution of the chiller unit operating number judgment, including the following steps:

[0107] S810, acquiring the current real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum;

[0108] S820, calculating the N1 value by the formula: and calculating the N2 value by the formula:

[0109]

[0110] S830, comparing the N1 value and the N2 value with the current chiller unit operating number N value;

[0111] S840, when the N1 value > N value, judging whether the duration that the current N1 value is greater than the N value is greater than the unit time; ​

[0112] S841, if yes, then the running number of the chiller units is controlled as the current N1 value;

[0113] S842, if no, then the running number of the chiller units is kept unchanged;

[0114] S850, when N2 value < N value, it is judged whether the duration that the current N2 value is less than the N value is greater than the unit time;

[0115] S851, if yes, then the running number of the chiller units is controlled as the current N2 value;

[0116] S852, if no, then the running number of the chiller units is kept unchanged.

[0117] It should be noted that the N, N1 and N2 are integers, when a non-integer is encountered, the value is always taken as 1 plus, and the minimum value of the N, N1 and N2 is 1. For example, when the N is calculated as 2.1, the final value of the N is 3.

[0118] In some optional embodiments, the unit time is 5-10 min, for example, it can be 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 9 min or 10 min. When the unit time is too small (such as 1 min), it will lead to frequent adjustment of the chiller units, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the system, and when the unit time is too large (such as 30 min), it will lead to the inability to meet the needs of the user end real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum, resulting in the phenomenon of lack or waste of cooling capacity.

[0119] In a specific embodiment, the unit time is 5 min, for example, when the current real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum is greater than the last real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum, the current N1 value is greater than the N value, and the duration is greater than 5 min, the running number of the chiller units is controlled as the current N1 value.

[0120] In another specific embodiment, the unit time is 5 min, for example, when the current real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum is greater than the last real-time chilled water cooling capacity sum, and the duration that the current N1 value is greater than the N value is 1 min, the running number of the chiller units is kept unchanged.

[0121] In a specific embodiment, the working state of the chiller units is controlled by the control center, and the working state refers to running or not running.

[0122] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioning chilled water system further includes a bypass line, which is arranged in parallel with any chilled water line serving a user. When only one chiller is operating and the total real-time chilled water cooling capacity of each user per unit time is still less than 35% of the rated cooling capacity of the single chiller, the bypass line is controlled to ensure the cooling capacity required for safe system operation. The bypass line is connected to divert excess chilled water cooling capacity, allowing water to circulate between the bypass line and the chilled water pump, thereby preventing damage to the chilled water line at the end user due to excessive pressure.

[0123] In a more specific embodiment, the control center calculates excess cooling capacity based on the difference between 35% of the rated cooling capacity of a single chiller and the total real-time chilled water cooling capacity of the user, and controls the opening of the bypass valve in the bypass pipeline based on the excess cooling capacity. Specifically, the greater the excess cooling capacity, the greater the bypass valve opening.

[0124] It should be noted that the opening range of the bypass valve in the bypass pipeline is 0-25%. This is because when the bypass valve is opened too large, a large amount of chilled water will mix with the hot water return water flowing through the user, and the return water temperature will drop accordingly. When the return water temperature drops too low (for example, less than or equal to 17°C), the chiller will stop refrigerating or even be damaged.

[0125] In a specific embodiment, the unit time is 5 to 10 minutes.

[0126] In some optional embodiments, the air-conditioning chilled water system includes at least two chilled water pumps connected in parallel; the frequency and the number of chilled water pumps in operation within the next unit mapping time period are controlled according to the supply demand cooling capacity.

[0127] In a specific embodiment, the operating frequency and operating state of any chilled water pump are controlled by the control center, and the operating state refers to whether the pump is running or not running.

[0128] In a specific embodiment, when the supply demand cooling capacity is so small that it can be met by the operating frequency of only one water pump: the control center controls one chilled water pump in the air-conditioning chilled water system to operate, and the other chilled water pumps do not operate, and adjusts the operating frequency of the running chilled water pump according to the supply demand cooling capacity; the specific adjustment method of the operating frequency of a running chilled water pump is: when the calculated supply demand cooling capacity of the next unit mapping time period is greater than the water cooling capacity of the current air-conditioning chilled water system, increase the water pump frequency in the next unit mapping time period; when the calculated supply demand cooling capacity of the next unit mapping time period is less than the water cooling capacity of the current air-conditioning chilled water system, reduce the chilled water pump frequency in the next unit mapping time period.

[0129] It should be noted that in actual work, the energy consumption of a single chilled water pump is higher when the running frequency is at the highest running frequency; therefore, when the running frequency of the chilled water pump reaches more than 90% of the highest running frequency and is stably running at this frequency for a certain period of time (for example, 3-10 minutes), the control increases the number of water pumps turned on to reduce the running frequency of a single water pump and save energy consumption.

[0130] It should be noted that the rated frequency of a conventional water pump is 50 Hz, and the recommended maximum running frequency is less than the rated frequency by 2-5 Hz. In a specific embodiment, when the supply demand for cold energy increases and the highest running frequency of one or more chilled water pumps still cannot meet the demand, the control center judges the running frequency for a certain period of time, and if it is determined that the running frequency of the chilled water pump is greater than 85% of the corresponding chilled water cooling capacity of the highest running frequency of the chilled water pump within the time period, the control increases the number of chilled water pumps turned on to meet the supply demand for cold energy.

[0131] It should be noted that the safe running frequency of a single chilled water pump is in the range of 20-30 Hz, and in actual work, the minimum running frequency of the chilled water pump is generally greater than the safe running frequency by 2-5 Hz. In a specific embodiment, when the supply demand for cold energy is excessive and the minimum running frequency of multiple chilled water pumps still exceeds the supply demand for cold energy, the control center judges the running frequency for a certain period of time, and if it is determined that the running frequency of the chilled water pump is less than 1.2 times the minimum running frequency within the time period, the control reduces the number of chilled water pumps turned on to meet the supply-demand balance. The minimum number of chilled water pumps is greater than or equal to 1.

[0132] In a specific embodiment, when a water pump in a running state fails, the control center can also monitor the working state of the chilled water pump in real time to determine whether it has failed. When it is determined that it has failed, the control center controls other chilled water pumps in parallel to be in a working state to meet the cold energy demand of the system.

[0133] The supply and return water temperature of each user terminal in the embodiment is real-time change, the control center judges whether it exceeds the set target supply and return water temperature range according to the change of the supply and return water temperature, if it is judged that it exceeds the set target supply and return water temperature range, the control center adjusts the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control valve to increase or decrease to maintain the supply and return water temperature in the set range, so the chilled water flow through each user is real-time change, the frequency of the chilled water pump is automatically controlled by the control center, the control center adjusts the working frequency of the chilled water pump according to the supply demand cooling capacity, the opening degree of the cooling capacity-flow integrated control valve, the working frequency and the number of working stations of the chilled water pump, the working number of the water chiller unit and the opening degree of the bypass valve are comprehensively controlled by the control center, the chilled water cooling capacity of the user terminal can be distributed according to the demand, the supply and demand balance of the chilled water system of the air conditioner can be achieved, and the energy saving effect can be achieved.
