[0002] In a laboratory environment, the stability and accuracy of the temperature control system are critical to the reliability of experimental results. Many experiments require to be carried out within a specific temperature range to ensure the accuracy of the reaction and the validity of the data. However, traditional temperature control systems usually use constant heating or cooling equipment, which is prone to temperature instability when dealing with ambient temperature fluctuations, resulting in affected experimental results. In addition, traditional systems are inefficient in terms of energy consumption and slow to respond to rapidly changing temperature requirements, which cannot meet the needs of modern laboratories for precise temperature control.

[0043] See also Figure 1, the present application provides a laboratory dynamic adaptive temperature control method based on phase change materials, which reduces energy consumption while improving temperature control accuracy to ensure that the laboratory temperature is always within the optimal range.

[0044] This application includes the following steps:

[0045] Step S1, obtain the temperature data in the laboratory, and predict the future temperature through the laboratory temperature prediction model; the temperature data includes the current temperature data and the temperature control equipment and phase change material in the laboratory.

[0046] Generally, the laboratory is equipped with temperature sensors to collect the current temperature data T(t) in real time, as well as the working status of temperature control equipment such as air conditioners and heaters and the temperature data of phase change materials. The laboratory temperature prediction model is used to predict the temperature in the future.

[0047] The future temperature is predicted by the laboratory temperature prediction model, specifically:

[0048] The future temperature is predicted by the following formula:

[0049]

[0050] Where, T(t) is the current temperature, Q i (t) is the input of the ith heat source, α, β, λ are dynamic coefficients, and n is the number of heat sources.

[0051] Step S2: Calculate the temperature deviation according to the target temperature and the current temperature data.

[0052] Each laboratory has its target temperature to meet the needs of the experiment and ensure the smooth progress of the experiment. Therefore, the temperature deviation is calculated through the output of the temperature deviation and the laboratory prediction model, so as to further determine the direction of the next adjustment. For example, the adjustment requirements of the phase change material and the control strategy of the temperature control equipment are determined.

[0053] Step S3: In combination with the temperature deviation and the target temperature, the amount of phase change material used and the state of the temperature control device are adjusted through an adaptive control algorithm so that the laboratory temperature is within the target range.

[0054] Specifically, step S3 also includes:

[0055] Step S31, determining the usage amount of phase change material according to the temperature deviation, comprising:

[0056] The thermal response of the phase change material at the current moment is calculated according to the temperature deviation. When the temperature deviation is greater than a preset range, the use volume of the phase change material is adjusted according to the latent heat of the phase change material.

[0057] The thermal response calculation formula of phase change material is:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, Q PCM (t) is the thermal response of the phase change material, ρ is the density of the phase change material, V is the volume of the phase change material, is the specific heat capacity of the phase change material, δ is the adjustment parameter, ΔT bias (t) is the temperature deviation.

[0060] According to the laboratory volume V lab , air density ρ air And the temperature deviation ΔT bias (t), calculate the heat that needs to be adjusted:

[0061] Q total =m lab ·c air ΔT bias (t)

[0062] Among them, m lab =ρ air ·V lab .

[0063] The volume of phase change material required is:

[0064]

[0065] Where L is the latent heat, ρ PCM is the density of the phase change material.

[0066] When the temperature deviation is large, the temperature adjustment process is accelerated by increasing the volume of the phase change material or increasing its thermal response rate. Specifically, assuming that the temperature fluctuation in the laboratory is large, the heat absorption or heat release capacity of the phase change material is enhanced by increasing the volume of the phase change material or adjusting the thermal response coefficient δ of the phase change material. When the temperature gradually approaches the target temperature, the system slows down the thermal response of the phase change material and reduces its heat absorption or heat release to avoid over-adjustment.

[0067] Furthermore, if the thermal response of the phase change material needs to be increased, its heat storage capacity can be increased by increasing the volume of the phase change material. For example, if the current volume of the phase change material is not enough to cope with temperature fluctuations, it can be further adjusted by increasing the total capacity of the phase change material. If a large temperature deviation is detected, or if the amount of heat absorption needs to be increased during a specific time period, such as when the equipment is running at high load, the volume of the phase change material can be increased. For example, the heat absorption and release capacity can be increased by adding more phase change material plates or modules.

[0068] Step S32: dynamically adjust the output power of the temperature control device based on the control strategy according to the current temperature and the target temperature.

[0069] While adjusting the phase change material, the temperature control device works together to adjust the working state of the temperature control device according to the PID control algorithm. The heating or cooling device will adjust the output power according to the PID control algorithm to supplement or subtract the remaining temperature deviation. For example, if the phase change material has absorbed 100,661J / s of heat and the current temperature has not reached the target temperature, the heating or cooling device needs to continue working and adjust the output power P(t) through the control strategy to fine-tune the temperature.

[0070] The output power of the temperature control device is adjusted according to the following formula:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, K p , K i , K d are the proportional, integral and differential gain coefficients of the controller respectively; ΔT(t) is the temperature deviation, and ΔT(τ) is the change of temperature deviation from the initial moment to the current moment.

[0073] Specifically, K p is the proportional gain coefficient, which is used to control the current temperature deviation; K i is the integral gain coefficient, which is used to control the historical accumulated error; is the differential gain coefficient, which controls the rate of change of temperature deviation.

[0074] Based on the PID output, the controller will adjust the working state of the temperature control device (such as an air conditioner or heater). For example, if it is a heating device, the PID controller may increase the heating power; if it is a cooling device, the controller may increase the cooling capacity. The purpose of the adjustment is to reduce the temperature of the laboratory to the target temperature. The output of the PID controller will be used in conjunction with the adjustment of the phase change material. According to the current temperature deviation and temperature change trend, the system will adjust the volume or thermal response coefficient of the phase change material so that it can assist in controlling the temperature change during the heating or cooling process. The rate at which the phase change material absorbs or releases heat will match the output of the PID controller to keep the temperature stable.

[0075] Step S33, further adjusting the output power of the temperature control device according to the temperature deviation and the future temperature to satisfy the cold and heat balance formula;

[0076] The heat balance formula is:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, Q i (t) Heat source input is the heat generated by external or internal equipment, Q PCM(t) is the heat stored or released by the phase change material, C is the heat capacity of the laboratory, and ΔT(t) is the deviation between the current temperature and the target temperature. The power output of the heating / cooling equipment and the amount of phase change material used will be automatically adjusted according to the temperature trend and thermal balance of the laboratory. The changes in temperature deviation are monitored in real time, and the thermal response of the phase change material is automatically adjusted. For example, if the temperature deviation is reduced to 1°C, the thermal response of the phase change material will be slowed down, reducing its heat absorption, thereby avoiding over-regulation. The temperature adjustment process is balanced by factors such as heat source input, phase change material and environmental specific heat capacity to ensure the stable operation of the laboratory's temperature control system.

[0079] This application uses an adaptive control algorithm, combined with temperature data and laboratory temperature prediction models, to dynamically calculate the required heat and adjust the amount of phase change material used to ensure that the temperature in the laboratory is always kept within the target range. Phase change materials work with temperature control equipment by absorbing or releasing heat to quickly respond to temperature changes and optimize energy efficiency. This method not only improves temperature control accuracy, but also effectively reduces energy consumption and enhances the flexibility and reliability of the system.
