The hot water flow in the hot water outlet pipe 21 is changed by adjusting the opening of the electric regulating valve 20, and the temperature of the hot water in the hot water outlet pipe 21 is controlled to meet the set hot water temperature requirement. The electric regulating valve 20 can be an electric butterfly valve.

[0033] Example 7 The present invention provides a control method for a hot water recovery system of a magnetic levitation chiller, which is used to implement the control of the hot water recovery system of a magnetic levitation chiller in any one of Embodiments 1 to 6, comprising: Start the magnetic levitation chiller; According to the condensation pressure P of the first condenser 2 in the magnetic suspension chiller c The evaporation pressure P of the first evaporator 1 e The ratio P c / P e To control the opening and closing of the first three-way switch valve 12 and the second three-way switch valve 15, thereby switching the working mode of the heat pump unit and recycling the waste heat of the magnetic suspension chiller.

[0034] Example 8 The present invention provides a control method for a hot water recovery system of a magnetic suspension chiller, which differs from Embodiment 7 in that: The system also includes a first condenser pressure sensor and a first evaporator pressure sensor, which are used to obtain the condensing pressure P of the first condenser 2 respectively. c The evaporation pressure P of the first evaporator 1 e ; The first condenser 2 pressure sensor and the first evaporator 1 pressure sensor are not identified in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] According to the condensation pressure P of the first condenser 2 in the magnetic suspension chiller c The evaporation pressure P of the first evaporator 1e The ratio P c / P e To control the switch of the first three-way switch valve 12 and the second three-way switch valve 15, so as to switch the working mode of the heat pump unit, and recycle the waste heat of the magnetic suspension chiller. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 To illustrate, including: At this time, the connection relationship of the pipeline is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the circulation position of the refrigerant is as follows Figure 2 As shown by the arrow in the middle; when P c / P e >CR1, where CR1 represents the first-level pre-protection pressure ratio of the cooling liquid supply of the magnetic levitation refrigeration compressor 3, which is determined by experiments based on the pressure ratio range for safe operation of the magnetic levitation refrigeration compressor. For example, the preferred value of CR1 is between 1.75-1.85. Open the first three-way switch valve 12 so that the branch exhaust pipe 11 is only connected to the exhaust pipe 10; open the second three-way switch valve 15 so that the liquid outlet pipe 13 is only connected to the first condenser 2; that is, the branch exhaust pipe 11 and the liquid supply pipe 14 are not connected, and the liquid outlet pipe 13 and the liquid supply pipe 14 are not connected; start the heat pump unit so that the heat pump unit is connected in parallel with the exhaust pipe 10; the heat pump unit starts to run, a part of the gaseous refrigerant circulates in the main circulation pipeline, and the other part of the gaseous refrigerant enters the first sub-circulation pipeline, condenses into liquid refrigerant in the condenser evaporator 6, and then flows into the first condenser 2 through the liquid outlet pipe 13 under the action of gravity, mixes with the refrigerant in the main circulation pipeline, and continues the refrigeration cycle; The condenser evaporator 6 absorbs part of the condensation heat of the magnetic suspension chiller, reduces the heat entering the first condenser 2, helps to enhance the condensation effect, lowers the condensation temperature and pressure, and improves the energy efficiency of the chiller.

[0036] When CR2≤P c / P e ≤CR1, CR2 represents the secondary pre-protection pressure ratio of the cooling liquid of the magnetic suspension refrigeration compressor 3, which is determined by experiments based on the pressure ratio range of the safe operation of the magnetic suspension refrigeration compressor. For example, the preferred value of CR2 is between 1.65 and 1.7, then the heat dissipation of the first condenser 2 is reduced to weaken the condensation effect of the magnetic suspension chiller to prevent P c / P e Continue to reduce to ensure cooling of the magnetic suspension refrigeration compressor 3. At this time, the heat pump unit continues to maintain the working mode in parallel with the exhaust pipe 10. For example, the heat dissipation of the first condenser 2 can be reduced by reducing the flow of cooling water of the first condenser 2 or reducing the fan speed of the outdoor cooling tower.

[0037] Example 9 The present invention provides a control method for a hot water recovery system of a magnetic suspension chiller, which differs from Embodiment 7 in that: According to the condensation pressure P of the first condenser in the magnetic suspension chiller c The evaporation pressure P of the first evaporator e The ratio P c / P e To control the switch of the first three-way switch valve and the second three-way switch valve, so as to switch the working mode of the heat pump unit and recycle the waste heat of the magnetic suspension chiller, including: When CR3≤P c / P e When CR2 is less than CR3, CR3 represents the minimum pressure ratio value of the cooling liquid supply of the magnetic suspension refrigeration compressor 3, which is determined by experiments based on the pressure ratio range of the safe operation of the magnetic suspension refrigeration compressor. For example, the preferred value of CR3 is between 1.55 and 1.6. At this time, the connection relationship of the pipeline is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the circulation position of the refrigerant is as follows Figure 3 As shown by the middle arrow; switch the first three-way switch valve 12 so that the branch exhaust pipe 11 is connected only to the liquid supply pipe 14; switch the second three-way switch valve 15 so that the liquid outlet pipe 13 is connected only to the liquid supply pipe 14; that is, the branch exhaust pipe 11 is not connected to the exhaust pipe 10, and the liquid outlet pipe 13 is not connected to the first condenser 2, so that the heat pump unit is connected in parallel with the liquid supply pipe 14, and the heat pump unit keeps running, a part of the liquid refrigerant circulates in the main circulation pipeline, and the other part of the liquid refrigerant enters the second sub-circulation pipeline, and is further cooled in the condenser evaporator 6, and the liquid refrigerant obtains a greater degree of subcooling, and then flows back to the main circulation pipeline to mix with the main refrigerant. After the two parts of the refrigerant are mixed, they pass through the filter cartridge 9 and the throttling device 8 and enter the economizer 4 to continue the refrigeration cycle.

[0038] Among them, P c / P e The value is calculated every minute.

[0039] The condenser evaporator 6 of the heat pump unit further cools down the liquid refrigerant coming out of the first condenser 2, increasing the supercooling degree of the liquid refrigerant before entering the throttling device 8, which helps to increase the cooling capacity of the unit and improve the refrigeration energy efficiency.

[0040] Example 10 The present invention provides a control method for a hot water recovery system of a magnetic suspension chiller, which differs from Embodiment 9 in that: The system further includes a three-way regulating valve 16, a third pressure sensor and a temperature sensor 23. The three-way regulating valve 16 is arranged on the liquid supply pipe 14, and the branch of the three-way regulating valve 16 is connected to the branch of the first three-way switch valve 12; the third pressure sensor is arranged inside the economizer 4, and is used to obtain the internal pressure P of the economizer 4. m The temperature sensor 23 is used to obtain the temperature T of the mixed liquid refrigerant in the main circulation pipeline and the second sub-circulation pipeline. h Specifically, the temperature sensor 23 may be disposed at a position where the liquid refrigerant in the liquid outlet pipe 13 is mixed with the liquid supply pipe 14; the third pressure sensor is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The working method also includes: Get the temperature T of the mixed liquid refrigerant in the main circulation pipeline and the second sub-circulation pipeline h and the current internal pressure P of economizer 4 m The corresponding saturation temperature T m ;P m The corresponding saturation temperature T m Available from existing data.

[0042] The temperature T of the mixed liquid refrigerant in the main circulation pipeline and the second sub-circulation pipeline is controlled by adjusting the opening of the three-way regulating valve 16 in the liquid supply pipe 14. h , so that T m +T1≥T h ≥T m +T2; T1 and T2 are both empirical values, for example, the preferred value of T1 is 6°C, and the preferred value of T2 is 3°C.

[0043] When the load of the magnetic suspension chiller decreases and T h <T m At +T2, the branch of the three-way regulating valve 16 and the heat pump unit are closed.

[0044] This system provides two different solutions. When the heat pump unit is connected in parallel with the exhaust pipe 10, the cooling capacity is increased and the energy efficiency of the chiller is improved from the perspective of reducing the condensing temperature and pressure of the chiller and reducing the power consumption of the compressor; when the heat pump unit is connected in parallel with the liquid supply pipe 14, the energy efficiency of the chiller is improved only from the perspective of increasing the liquid supply supercooling and cooling capacity of the chiller without reducing the pressure ratio and the power consumption of the compressor. The first method can make use of more waste heat of the chiller. Therefore, when certain conditions are met, the working mode of the heat pump unit in parallel with the exhaust pipe 10 is preferentially adopted to maximize the operating energy efficiency of the magnetic levitation chiller; when the working mode of the exhaust pipe 10 is not available, the working mode of the heat pump unit in parallel with the liquid supply pipe 14 is switched to expand the working range of the heat pump unit, and the waste heat of the chiller is used to the maximum extent to produce domestic hot water, thereby improving the comprehensive energy efficiency of the magnetic levitation chiller and the system.
