Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of leak detection, and particularly to an intelligent monitoring and early warning system for condensate water in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system based on the Internet of Things. Background Art

[0002] The technical field of leak detection includes technical means for monitoring, identifying, and early warning of leaks in pipelines, containers, equipment, and related fluid transportation systems. The core content of this technical field includes leak monitoring sensors, data collection and analysis, remote monitoring, and early warning systems, etc. Leak detection relies on means such as pressure change detection, flow balance analysis, acoustic signal analysis, optical imaging detection, and gas sensing technology to evaluate the integrity of the target system in real time or regularly. The leak detection technology is widely applied in multiple industries such as water supply networks, oil and gas transportation pipelines, chemical equipment, and HVAC systems, and realizes the rapid identification and early warning of leak points through various physical and chemical detection methods and intelligent analysis means.

[0003] Among them, the intelligent monitoring and early warning system for condensate water in an HVAC system based on the Internet of Things refers to a system that uses sensor networks, wireless communication, and data analysis technology to monitor the condensate water discharge situation in an HVAC system and provide abnormal early warning. For problems such as condensate water leakage and abnormal discharge, it covers technical matters such as flow monitoring, conductivity detection, liquid level measurement, and temperature and humidity sensing. Specifically, flow sensors and conductivity sensors are arranged at key positions in the condensate water drainage pipeline to detect water flow changes and water quality characteristics, and a liquid level sensor is used to monitor the accumulated water height. At the same time, the temperature and humidity sensor is combined to sense the environmental state change. The data is uploaded to a remote server through wireless communication, and real-time comparison and analysis are carried out using the set monitoring rules, and whether to trigger an early warning signal is judged according to the threshold value.

[0004] Leak detection in the prior art relies on sensors and analysis systems to collect and compare data in real time. However, in actual operation, the transmission frequency, timing control, and data accuracy are restricted by various factors, resulting in the inability to capture early leak signals in a timely and accurate manner. For example, there is frequency band interference during signal transmission. Especially when multiple monitoring points in a pipeline system work simultaneously, data loss or transmission delay is likely to occur, affecting the response ability of the overall system. The traditional system has insufficient joint analysis of multi-dimensional signals such as pipeline pressure and vibration. It can only monitor a single indicator, lacking a comprehensive assessment of leak risks. The abnormal manifestations of condensate leakage are the coexistence of multiple physical phenomena. The prior art's processing of multi-dimensional signals is relatively simple, resulting in the inability to comprehensively capture potential risks in complex environments. The limitation of gas component analysis is another shortcoming of the prior art, making it difficult to provide sufficiently accurate leak location determination and trend prediction, thus delaying leak warning and response. The prior art is not sensitive enough to dynamic changes, missing the best alarm opportunity, bringing unnecessary difficulties and risks to maintenance and emergency handling.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 , the spectrum sensing scheduling module includes;

[0066] The signal parameter calculation sub-module calculates the signal interference correction index based on the signal strength value, signal-to-noise ratio value, and interference index value of the HVAC pipeline sensor, using the formula:

[0067] ;

[0068] Normalize the HVAC pipeline sensor data to obtain the normalized signal parameter value;

[0069] Among them, represents the signal interference correction index, represents the signal strength value, represents the signal-to-noise ratio value, represents the interference index value, represents the interference threshold;

[0070] First, the signal strength value ( ) can be directly measured by the sensor. For example, in the HVAC pipeline, the signal strength detected by the sensor is 0.8 watts. The signal-to-noise ratio ( ) represents the ratio of the signal power to the noise power and can be obtained by measuring the signal and noise powers and calculating their ratio. Assuming the measured signal power is 0.8 watts and the noise power is 0.2 watts, the signal-to-noise ratio is 4 (i.e., ). The interference index value ( ) reflects the degree of interference in the environment and can be obtained by analyzing the interference components in the signal spectrum. Assuming the interference index is 0.3 and the set interference threshold ( ) is 0.2, which represents the maximum acceptable interference level of the system, calculate the signal interference correction index ( ), using the formula:

[0071] ;

[0072] Substitute the above values to get:

[0073] ;

[0074] The sensor data is normalized using this correction index. Normalization is to adjust the data to a specific range, from 0 to 1, to eliminate the influence between different dimensions. For example, divide the measured signal intensity of 0.8 watts by the maximum signal intensity of 1 watt to get a normalized signal intensity of 0.8. Combine with the signal interference correction index to adjust the normalized signal. Assume the normalized signal intensity is 0.8 and the signal interference correction index is 0.38, then the normalized signal parameter value is the product of the two, that is, 0.8×0.38 = 0.304, and the normalized signal parameter value is obtained.

[0075] Based on the normalized signal parameter value, the spectral density extraction sub-module calculates the spectral density of the condensate water monitoring node, identifies the distribution of the spectral density through the integral operation of the signal power, and obtains the spectral density value of the condensate water monitoring node;

[0076] The spectral density distribution is obtained by using the signal power integral operation. The Fourier transform is performed on the normalized signal parameter value to obtain its spectral representation. The square operation is performed on the spectrum to obtain the power spectral density. The integral is performed on the power spectral density within the frequency range of interest to obtain the spectral density value. Assume the power at a specific frequency after Fourier transform is 0.5 watts, then the spectral density is 0.5 watt·hertz, and the spectral density value of the condensate water monitoring node is obtained.

[0077] The frequency band screening and scheduling sub-module calls the spectral density value of the condensate water monitoring node, screens the available frequency bands of the HVAC data gateway, analyzes the adaptability of the spectrum occupancy rate and the interference distribution, and generates a spectrum scheduling allocation value;

[0078] Calculate the adaptability of the spectrum occupancy rate and the interference distribution. Set a spectrum occupancy rate threshold, for example, 70%, which means that when the occupancy rate of a certain frequency band is lower than 70%, this frequency band is considered available. Analyze the interference distribution of each frequency band and calculate its adaptability with the acceptable interference level of the system. Assume the occupancy rate of a certain frequency band is 60% and the interference level is lower than the set interference threshold, then this frequency band is considered suitable for use, select the optimal frequency band, and obtain the spectrum scheduling allocation value.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 , the data transmission optimization module includes;

[0080] Based on the spectrum scheduling allocation value, the data extraction sub-module extracts data from the HVAC data gateway, screens the condensate water monitoring associated data, analyzes the data type and transmission rate, and establishes a condensate water monitoring data set;

[0081] First, analyze the data types stored in the data gateway, and extract the data records related to condensate monitoring. The HVAC data gateway stores multiple types of data, including ambient temperature, humidity, air velocity, and condensate flow data. During the data extraction process, it is necessary to identify the data frame structure and determine the storage location and format of the condensate data. For example, the data frame format stored in a certain gateway includes a data identifier, timestamp, numerical data, error correction information, etc. When extracting, use the data identifier to filter relevant data. Assume that the data identifier 0010 represents condensate monitoring data, then filter the data frames with the identifier 0010 and read the numerical data therein. Further analyze the data transmission rate. Assume that the data frame is updated once per second, then the data transmission rate is 1Hz. If the data update frequency is increased to 10Hz, it means that 10 data are received per second. The extracted data is converted in format to make it suitable for subsequent analysis, and a condensate monitoring data set is constructed. This data set contains information such as transmission time, data category, and data value.

[0082] The transmission priority calculation sub-module calls the condensate monitoring data set, analyzes the criticality and delay sensitivity of the data, sets the data delay threshold, and uses the formula:

[0083] ;

[0084] Calculate the transmission priority value of the condensate data;

[0085] Among them, represents the transmission priority value of the condensate data, represents the data refresh rate, represents the delay sensitivity of the current data, represents the delay sensitivity threshold, represents the queuing time of the data in the queue, represents the packet length;

[0086] First, the importance of the data can be evaluated by calculating the change rate of the data. Assume that the change range of the condensate flow data in the past five minutes is greater than the set change threshold, then the data is marked as high-priority data. For example, set the change threshold to 5%. If the measured condensate flow changes from 2.0L / min to 2.2L / min within five minutes, then the change rate is , exceeding the threshold, so the priority is higher. Calculate the delay sensitivity of the data. Assume that the standard transmission delay threshold of the condensate data is 2 seconds. If the transmission delay of a certain data packet exceeds this value, its priority needs to be adjusted. Use the formula:

[0087] ;

[0088] Among them, represents the data refresh rate, assumed to be 5Hz, Represents the latency sensitivity of the current data. If the current data transmission is delayed by 3 seconds, then , Represents the latency sensitivity threshold, set to 2 seconds, Represents the queuing time of the data in the queue, set to 0.5 seconds, Represents the packet length, set to 256 bytes, and substitute into the calculation:

[0089] ;

[0090] Obtain the transmission priority value of the condensate water data. The higher the data priority value, the faster the data needs to be transmitted.

[0091] The transmission timing adjustment sub-module calls the transmission priority value of the condensate water data, adjusts the transmission timing of the HVAC data gateway, optimizes the data queue order according to the priority, and generates a set of condensate water data transmission parameters;

[0092] First, sort the data according to the priority, set the transmission time interval. Assume that high-priority data needs to be transmitted within 1 second, while low-priority data can be delayed until 5 seconds later. Calculate the expected transmission timing of different data packets. Assume that there are currently three data packets, where the priority of packet A is 0.08, the priority of packet B is 0.05, and the priority of packet C is 0.02. Then packet A is sent first, packet B second, and packet C last. Execute data transmission according to the adjusted transmission queue, optimize the scheduling order of the data stream, and generate a set of condensate water data transmission parameters.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 4 , the vibration pressure monitoring module includes;

[0094] The signal acquisition sub-module calls the set of condensate water data transmission parameters, extracts the vibration signal of the pipeline vibration sensor and the pressure signal of the condensate water pressure sensor, analyzes the vibration amplitude, vibration frequency and pressure change rate, and obtains a set of vibration pressure signals;

[0095] First, vibration sensors are installed at key positions of the pipeline, such as support points, bending parts, or valve connections. They are mainly used to detect the vibration state of the pipeline. The main parameters for vibration signal acquisition include vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, and instantaneous acceleration. Suppose the amplitude detected by the vibration sensor is 0.05g and the acceleration is 0.3m / s2. Then this data needs to be analyzed by time series to analyze the fluctuation pattern of pipeline vibration. The condensate pressure sensor is installed at the low point of the pipeline or where the pressure changes suddenly. It is mainly used to measure the pressure of condensate flow. The parameters for pressure signal acquisition include instantaneous pressure value, pressure change rate, and pressure duration. Suppose the pressure measured by the condensate pressure sensor is 1.2MPa and the pressure change rate is 0.05MPa / s. Then it is necessary to further calculate its fluctuation in a short period of time, analyze the time synchronization of vibration signals and pressure signals, ensure data alignment, organize the data format, and normalize the parameters of different units for subsequent calculations to obtain the vibration-pressure signal set.

[0096] Based on the vibration-pressure signal set, the vibration and pressure calculation sub-module sets a vibration offset reference and uses the formula:

[0097] ;

[0098] Calculate the vibration offset value, combine it with the pipeline condensate pressure signal, analyze the fluctuation situation, compare the pressure change rate with the pressure stability threshold, and obtain the pressure fluctuation index;

[0099] Among them, represents the vibration offset value, represents the amplitude of the vibration signal, represents the measured vibration signal frequency, represents the vibration reference frequency, represents the time duration value of the vibration signal, represents the th noise interference amount of the interference data point, is the total number of interference data points;

[0100] First, the calculation of the vibration offset value needs to consider the deviation degree of the vibration signal. Set a vibration offset reference value. For example, the reference frequency of a certain pipeline during normal operation is 50Hz. If the currently measured vibration frequency is 55Hz, then the vibration signal offset amount needs to be calculated to measure the degree of vibration change. Use the formula:

[0101] ;

[0102] Among them, assume the amplitude of the vibration signal is 0.05g, the measured vibration signal frequency is 55Hz, and the vibration reference frequency is 50Hz, the time duration value of the vibration signal is 2 seconds, the noise interference amount of the vibration data Set according to different sampling points, assume , each is 0.002, 0.003, 0.001 respectively, then calculate:

[0103] ;

[0104] ;

[0105] ;

[0106] Obtain the vibration offset value, combine with the condensate water pressure signal in the pipeline, analyze its fluctuation situation. Assume the pressure stability threshold is set to 0.1MPa. If the pressure fluctuation amplitude is greater than this value, the pressure fluctuation index will rise. For example, if the measured condensate water pressure changes from 1.2MPa to 1.4MPa within 10 seconds, then the pressure change rate is calculated as MPa / s, which is less than the threshold. Therefore, the fluctuation index remains within the normal range. Combine the vibration offset value and the pressure fluctuation index to judge its change trend for subsequent state recognition and calculate the pressure fluctuation index.

[0107] The condensate pipe pressure state recognition sub-module calls the vibration offset value and the pressure fluctuation index, analyzes the pipeline vibration characteristics and pressure distribution pattern, judges the condensate pipe pressure state, matches the relationship between abnormal vibration and abnormal pressure fluctuation, and obtains the condensate pipe pressure state parameters;

[0108] First, compare the pipeline historical vibration data, screen out the abnormal vibration values, and set the vibration abnormality threshold. For example, if the vibration offset value exceeds 0.1g, it is considered that there is an abnormal situation. Assume the calculated vibration offset value is 0.0806g, which does not exceed the threshold, so the current vibration state belongs to the normal range. At the same time, compare the pressure fluctuation index, screen out the abnormal pressure fluctuation values. Assume the pressure fluctuation index threshold is set to 0.03MPa / s. If the calculated pressure change rate is 0.02MPa / s, it does not exceed the set range. Match the relationship between abnormal vibration and abnormal pressure fluctuation. If abnormal vibration and abnormal pressure fluctuation occur simultaneously, it is judged that the risk of condensate water leakage increases, and the condensate pipe pressure state parameters are obtained.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 5 , the gas composition analysis module includes;

[0110] The gas data acquisition sub-module extracts the gas concentration value, humidity value and temperature value in the condensate pipe based on the condensate pipe pressure state parameters, analyzes the gas type and concentration change trend, and obtains the gas characteristic parameter set;

[0111] First, gas samples are collected from the detection area. Multiple sensors are installed near the condensate leakage point, including gas concentration sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, etc. The sensors are distributed at different heights and positions to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data. Assume that 5 sensors are arranged in a certain area, 3 of which measure gas concentration and 2 measure temperature and humidity. The preliminary data obtained from the measurement includes CO 2 、H 2 O and O 2 concentration values, ambient temperature, and relative humidity. When analyzing the data, it is necessary to perform denoising processing to remove abnormal data points. For example, if the CO 2 concentration suddenly increases to 5000 ppm at a certain time point, while the values before and after are around 400 ppm, then this data point is determined to be noise and excluded. Further analyze the change trend of the data and calculate the concentration increase of different gas components. Assume that the concentration of a certain gas increases from 200 ppm to 500 ppm within 10 minutes, then the increase is . Calculate the influence of temperature and humidity. Assume that the temperature rises from 25 °C to 30 °C and the humidity increases from 40% to 50%, then it indicates that there are large fluctuations in temperature and humidity in the gas leakage area. Finally, integrate all the data to construct a gas characteristic parameter set.

[0112] Based on the gas characteristic parameter set, the gas anomaly calculation sub-module sets a normal leakage threshold, combines the change characteristics of different gases, analyzes the gas leakage mode, judges the correlation between gas concentration and humidity, temperature, and identifies abnormal fluctuation trends. The formula is used:

[0113] ;

The calculated leakage rate is , if the calculated rate is lower than the reference rate, it is considered that the leakage trend is slow. If it exceeds the reference rate, it is determined as a high-risk leakage. Calculate the humidity change rate. Set the standard environmental humidity change to 5% / min. If the humidity in the leakage area rises from 40% to 60% within 5 minutes, the change rate is , use the formula:

Compare the leakage trend parameters and calculate the fluctuation range of the leakage trend. Assume that the fluctuation range of the leakage concentration changes by more than 50% within 30 minutes, then it is determined as a sudden leakage. If the fluctuation range is less than 10%, it is determined as a slow penetration.
