Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of air-conditioning units, and relates to a multi-stage refrigerating and heating aircraft ground air-conditioning unit and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft ground air-conditioning is a special air-conditioning unit for regulating the air inside the aircraft cabin on the airport ground, also known as a pre-treatment air-conditioning unit. It uses refrigeration technology to filter, cool, dehumidify or heat the inhaled air, and conveys the processed air to the internal space of the aircraft parked on the ground according to the air flow and pressure specified by the aircraft model. This equipment is mostly used during the stage from when the aircraft docks to when it takes off. Without relying on the aircraft's own auxiliary power unit, it can still provide a good cabin environment for the crew, airport staff, passengers, etc.

[0003] The refrigeration and heating processes of traditional aircraft ground air-conditioning are single. Refrigeration uses vapor compression refrigeration, and heating uses electric heaters. In most areas of northwest, northeast, southwest, etc. in China, the climate is dry and hot, and the temperature on the apron is above 40°C, but the wet-bulb temperature is very low, only about 22°C. In some areas, the wet-bulb temperature can reach below 20°C. Traditional aircraft ground air-conditioning does not make full use of this dry air energy, resulting in low efficiency of the unit. At the same time, there is no shelter on the apron in summer, and the solar heat radiation is very large, but the existing aircraft ground air-conditioning does not consider this part of free solar energy, resulting in waste of energy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, and provide a multi-stage refrigerating and heating aircraft ground air-conditioning unit and a control method thereof, which can utilize solar energy and dry air energy to form multi-stage refrigeration and heating, improve the efficiency of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit, and reduce energy consumption.

[0009] Preferably, the fresh air inlets of the air-oil heat exchanger and the first-stage evaporator are respectively connected to a first electric airtight valve and a second electric airtight valve; the first electric airtight valve and the second electric airtight valve are arranged one above the other to block the air supply channel of the air conditioner.

[0010] Preferably, the vapor compression refrigeration unit includes a compressor, a second-stage condenser, a liquid receiver, a second-stage evaporator, and a gas-liquid separator that are sequentially connected in a cycle.

[0011] Preferably, the generator includes a closed outer shell, an inner tank is arranged inside the outer shell, a solution is arranged in the inner tank, the top of the inner tank is open, the bottom of the inner tank is slidably and sealingly arranged with the inner wall of the outer shell, a solution outlet is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank of the generator, and the solution outlet is connected to the outside of the outer shell of the generator through a solution outlet pipeline. The part of the heat transfer oil pipeline connected to the generator and the second-stage condenser are both arranged in the inner tank.

[0012] A multi-stage refrigeration and heating control method for the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit described above includes the following processes: Under the refrigeration condition, the indirect evaporative cooler, the absorption refrigeration unit, and the vapor compression refrigeration unit are sequentially turned on, and the air-oil heat exchanger and the electric heater are turned off; When the medium temperature in the heat-conducting oil pipeline is higher than the set temperature, increase the flow rate of the medium in the heat-conducting oil pipeline; when the medium temperature in the heat-conducting oil pipeline is lower than the set temperature, cut off the connection between the heat-conducting oil pipeline and the absorption refrigeration unit, and reconnect the heat-conducting oil pipeline and the absorption refrigeration unit when the medium temperature in the heat-conducting oil pipeline is higher than the set temperature. Under the heating condition, turn on the gas-oil heat exchanger and the electric heater, and turn off the indirect evaporative cooler, the absorption refrigeration unit and the vapor compression refrigeration unit. When the medium temperature in the heat-conducting oil pipeline is higher than the set temperature, increase the flow rate of the medium in the heat-conducting oil pipeline; when the medium temperature in the heat-conducting oil pipeline is lower than the air temperature after the fresh air passes through the indirect evaporative cooler, turn off the gas-oil heat exchanger and increase the power of the electric heater.

[0013] Preferably, the absorption refrigeration unit includes a generator; the solution outlet of the generator is sequentially connected with an absorber, a solution pump, a solution heat exchanger and the solution inlet of the generator through a solution pipeline to form a solution circulation pipeline; the steam outlet of the generator is sequentially connected with a primary condenser, a primary evaporator and the steam inlet of the absorber through a steam-water pipeline; the vapor compression refrigeration unit includes a compressor, a secondary condenser, a liquid receiver, a secondary evaporator and a gas-liquid separator that are sequentially connected in a cycle; the generator includes a closed outer shell, an inner tank is arranged inside the outer shell, a solution is arranged in the inner tank, the top of the inner tank is open, the bottom of the inner tank is slidably and sealingly arranged with the inner wall of the outer shell, a solution outlet is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank, and the solution outlet is connected to the outside of the outer shell through a solution outlet pipeline, and the secondary condenser is located in the inner tank. After the secondary module operates normally, when there is liquid water in the steam in the pipeline at the outlet of the primary evaporator, reduce the flow rate on the pipeline of the steam outlet of the generator to reduce the flow rate of the high-pressure steam entering the primary condenser. The steam generated in the generator will accumulate, increasing the pressure above the solution liquid level in the inner tank of the generator, pushing the inner tank of the generator downward, exposing the secondary condenser out of the solution surface, thereby reducing the heating amount of the solution by the secondary condenser. As the heating amount of the solution gradually decreases, the outlet pressures of the secondary condenser and the compressor gradually increase. When the outlet pressure of the compressor reaches 90% of the overpressure alarm pressure, reduce the power of the compressor. As the heating amount of the solution gradually decreases, the evaporation amount of the solution in the generator also decreases accordingly. At this time, the liquid water in the pipeline at the outlet of the primary evaporator gradually decreases until it disappears. Increase the flow rate on the pipeline of the steam outlet of the generator, and the pressure above the solution liquid level in the inner tank of the generator will decrease accordingly, and the inner tank will move upward, submerging the secondary condenser in the solution again to continue heating the solution to promote solution evaporation, and the outlet pressures of the secondary condenser and the compressor gradually decrease; when the outlet pressure of the compressor decreases to 110% of the minimum allowable pressure, increase the power of the compressor.

[0014] Preferably, a constant-frequency pump is used as the solution pump; the concentration and temperature of the strong solution at the solution outlet of the generator are obtained, and the flow rate and temperature of the weak solution at the solution outlet of the absorber are obtained. Since the solution pump is a constant-frequency pump, the flow rate remains constant all the time, and the flow rate of the strong solution is equal to that of the weak solution; through heat exchange calculation, the critical temperature of the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger is obtained. When the temperature of the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger is higher than the critical temperature, the outlet temperature of the strong solution will not be lower than the saturation temperature at the concentration of the strong solution itself, and the strong solution will not crystallize. At this time, the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline is reduced. When the temperature of the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger is lower than the critical temperature, the outlet temperature of the strong solution will also be lower than the saturation temperature at the concentration of the strong solution itself, and the strong solution will crystallize. At this time, the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline is increased.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention uses an indirect evaporative cooler as the primary refrigeration, making full use of the dry air energy on the apron and improving the efficiency of the unit. An absorption refrigeration unit is used as the secondary refrigeration. By combining a solar collector and an absorption refrigeration unit, the high-temperature medium obtained based on solar energy is used as the heat source of the absorption refrigeration unit, improving the efficiency of the absorption refrigeration unit. And the combination of the solar collector and the air-oil heat exchanger is used as the primary heating, the vapor compression refrigeration unit is used as the tertiary refrigeration, and the electric heater is used as the secondary heating. Finally, the unit of the present invention realizes multi-stage refrigeration and heating, improves the efficiency of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit, and reduces energy consumption.

[0016] The present invention recovers and utilizes the waste heat of the vapor compression refrigeration unit as the heat source of the absorption refrigeration unit, further improving the efficiency of the absorption refrigeration unit.

[0017] In the present invention, the inner tank of the generator moves up and down along the outer shell of the generator according to the pressure brought by different evaporation amounts of water vapor, adjusting the volume of the inner tank, so as to keep the pressure above the solution liquid level constant. And the up and down movement of the inner tank can adjust the immersion depth of the secondary condenser in the solution, thereby automatically adjusting the heating amount of the solution, and further adjusting the evaporation amount of water vapor, so that the refrigeration effect of the primary evaporator is always in the optimal state. It not only realizes independent, fast and stepless adjustment of the refrigerating capacity, but also greatly reduces the frequent adjustment and low-load operation of the compressor power.

[0018] The temperature and concentration of the strong solution entering the solution heat exchanger in the present invention are known, and the temperature and flow rate of the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger are also known. Since the solution pump is a constant-frequency pump, the flow rate remains unchanged. And because it is the same pipeline, the flow rates of the strong solution entering the solution heat exchanger and the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger are equal. Through heat exchange calculation, the critical temperature of the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger can be obtained. According to whether the temperature of the weak solution entering the solution heat exchanger is higher than the critical temperature, the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline is controlled, the cooling capacity of the medium in the cooling water pipeline is adjusted, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the crystallization of the solution in the solution heat exchanger by accurately controlling the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline, and neither conservatively increasing the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline nor aggressively reducing the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline.

The fresh air inlet 1 and the secondary air inlet 2 are arranged vertically in parallel, with the fresh air inlet 1 above the secondary air inlet 2. The outlets of both the fresh air inlet 1 and the secondary air inlet 2 are connected to the air filter 3. The indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4 is arranged at the outlet of the air filter 3. The water collecting tray 42 is arranged below the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4. The sprayer 7 is located above the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4. The water filter 6 is located above the sprayer 7. The evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 is located above the water filter 6.

The secondary air inlet 2 corresponds to the position below the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4 and is connected to the outside of the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4 and the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5. Below the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4, a plurality of shunt plates 53 with different lengths are arranged along the height direction. Each shunt plate 53 is inclined horizontally. Each shunt plate 53 is located behind the secondary air inlet 2. The shunt plates 53 are used to shunt the ambient air entering from the secondary air inlet 2, so that the air can evenly contact different positions of the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4. The shunt plates 53 are all provided with slopes, and the slope direction is consistent with the air inlet direction to facilitate drainage.

[0024] The evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 sucks the ambient air from the secondary air inlet 2. A baffle 48 is arranged between the fresh air inlet 1 and the secondary air inlet 2. The water collecting tray 42 is connected to the inlet of the cooling water pipeline 40 through the cooling water filter 9. The sprayer 7 is connected to the outlet of the cooling water pipeline 40 through the cooling water pump 8. The cooling water pipeline 40 is used for the circulating flow of cooling water. The cooling water pipeline 40 is provided with two circuits, and electric valves are arranged at the inlets and outlets of both circuits, including a first cooling water pipeline electric valve 10, a second cooling water pipeline electric valve 11, a third cooling water pipeline electric valve 12 and a fourth cooling water pipeline electric valve 13. The four electric valves are used to control the on-off and switching of the cooling water pipeline 40. The structural form of the indirect evaporative cooling pipe 4 includes but is not limited to horizontal elliptical tube type, vertical tube type, inner groove vertical tube type, polymer plate type and aluminum foil brazing plate type. The refrigeration process is realized through the indirect evaporative cooler.

[0025] In this embodiment, the secondary module 62 is used for secondary refrigeration and primary heating. The secondary module 62 includes an absorption refrigeration unit, a solar collector 20 and a gas-oil heat exchanger 16. The solar collector 20 is respectively connected to the absorption refrigeration unit and the gas-oil heat exchanger 16 in a circulating manner through a heat-conducting oil pipeline 41. The solar collector 20 is used as one of the heat sources of the absorption refrigeration unit, such as Figure 2As shown, the secondary module 62 specifically includes a solar collector 20, a thermal oil pump 23, a generator 27, a primary condenser 25, an expansion valve 32, a primary evaporator 18, a conductivity meter 50, an absorber 26, a flow sensor 57, a second solution temperature sensor 55, a solution heat exchanger 29, a solution pump 28, a solution concentration sensor 56, a first solution temperature sensor 54, a first electric sealed air valve 17, a second electric sealed air valve 19, an air-oil heat exchanger 16, a first thermal oil pipeline electric valve 14, a second thermal oil pipeline electric valve 15, a third thermal oil pipeline electric valve 21, a fourth thermal oil pipeline electric valve 22, a thermal oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 and a thermal oil heat exchange coil 52.

[0026] The solar collector 20 is of a concentrating type and is made of frosted material to prevent reflection from affecting the pilot's sight. The internal heat collecting medium is heat transfer oil. The solar collector 20, the heat transfer oil pump 23, the heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52, the air-oil heat exchanger 16, the first heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 14, the second heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 15, the third heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 21, the fourth heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 22 and the heat transfer oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 are connected through the heat transfer oil pipeline 41. The heat transfer oil pipeline 41 is used for the circulation of the heat transfer oil. The oil heat exchange coil 52 is arranged in the internal solution of the generator 27. The heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 is used to heat the internal solution of the generator 27. The heat transfer oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 controls the connection and disconnection between the heat transfer oil pipeline 41 and the heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 or the gas-oil heat exchanger 16 according to the collected temperature of the heat transfer oil; the winter and summer operating conditions of the heat transfer oil pipeline 41 are switched by controlling the on and off of the first heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 14, the second heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 15, the third heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 21 and the fourth heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 22.

[0027] The heat transfer oil pipeline 41 between the solar collector 20 and the heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 is connected or disconnected through the second heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 15 and the third heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 21, and the heat transfer oil pipeline 41 between the solar collector 20 and the gas-oil heat exchanger 16 is connected or disconnected through the first heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 14 and the fourth heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 22. When cooling, the solar collector 20 is connected to the heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52. At this time, the first heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 14 is closed, the second heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 15 is opened, the fourth heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 22 is closed, and the third heat transfer oil pipeline electric valve 21 is opened. The opposite is true during heating. At this time, the solar collector 20 is connected to the gas-oil heat exchanger 16.

[0028] The first electric airtight damper 17 and the second electric airtight damper 19 are arranged vertically at the frontmost part of the secondary module 62, blocking the air supply channel 49 of the air conditioner. The gas-oil heat exchanger 16 and the primary evaporator 18 are arranged vertically behind the first electric airtight damper 17 and the second electric airtight damper 19. The fresh air inlets of the gas-oil heat exchanger 16 and the primary evaporator 18 are respectively connected to the outlets of the first electric airtight damper 17 and the second electric airtight damper 19. The rear end of the first electric airtight damper 17 is connected to the gas-oil heat exchanger 16, and the rear end of the second electric airtight damper 19 is connected to the primary evaporator 18. By controlling the opening and closing of the first electric airtight damper 17 and the second electric airtight damper 19, the channel through which the air flow passes is controlled, thereby switching between winter and summer operating conditions.

[0029] The solution outlet of the generator 27, the solution concentration sensor 56, the absorber 26, the flow sensor 57, the solution pump 28, the solution heat exchanger 29, and the solution inlet of the generator 27 are sequentially connected through the solution pipeline 43 to form a solution circulation pipeline; the steam outlet of the generator 27, the solenoid valve 51, the primary condenser 25, the expansion valve 32, the primary evaporator 18, the conductivity meter 50, and the steam inlet of the absorber 26 are sequentially connected through the steam-water pipeline 58; both the absorber 26 and the primary condenser 25 are connected with the cooling water pipeline 40. The heat of the absorber 26 and the primary condenser 25 is taken away through the cooling water pipeline 40 to improve the refrigeration efficiency of the secondary module 62 and reduce energy consumption. The heat taken away is finally dissipated by the evaporation of the external cooling water through the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4.

[0030] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the generator 27 includes an enclosed outer shell 59. Inside the outer shell 59, a silicone rubber bladder-type inner liner 60 is provided. A solution is provided in the inner liner 60. The inner liner 60 and the outer shell 59 of the generator 27 form a structure similar to a pneumatic cylinder. The top of the inner liner 60 is open, and the bottom of the inner liner 60 is slidably and sealed with the inner wall of the outer shell 59. A solution outlet is provided at the bottom of the inner liner 60 of the generator 27. The solution outlet is connected to the outside of the outer shell 59 of the generator 27 through a solution outlet pipeline. The solution outlet pipeline uses a telescopic carbon steel pipe. A solution inlet and a steam outlet are provided at the top of the outer shell 59 of the generator 27. The heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 is connected in parallel to the heat transfer oil pipeline 41. The heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 is located inside the generator 27 and immersed in the solution of the inner liner 60 of the generator 27. The secondary condenser 31 is located inside the generator 27 and immersed in the solution of the inner liner 60 of the generator 27. The top heights of the heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 and the secondary condenser 31 are different, and the bottom heights are the same.

[0031] The inner tank 60 of the generator 27 moves up and down in the outer shell 59 to keep the water vapor pressure above the solution level in the inner tank constant. By adjusting the height of the inner tank 60 through this constant pressure, the solution level is adjusted, and then the immersion depth of the secondary condenser 31 in the solution is adjusted. Finally, the heating amount of the secondary condenser 31 to the solution is adjusted. The heating amount of the solution is proportional to the immersion depth of the secondary condenser 31 in the solution. The solution pump 28 is a fixed-frequency pump. A solution concentration sensor 56 and a first solution temperature sensor 54 are provided on the solution pipeline 43 at the bottom outlet of the generator 27. A flow sensor 57 and a second solution temperature sensor 55 are provided on the solution pipeline 43 at the outlet of the absorber 26.

[0032] In this embodiment, a first temperature sensor 44 is provided between the first-stage module 61 and the second-stage module 62. A second temperature sensor 45 is provided behind the air-oil heat exchanger 16 and the first-stage evaporator 18.

[0033] In this embodiment, the third-stage module 63 is used for three-stage refrigeration. The third-stage module 63 adopts a vapor compression refrigeration unit, which includes a compressor 30, a secondary condenser 31, a liquid reservoir 33, a secondary evaporator 34, and a gas-liquid separator 35 connected in sequence through a refrigerant pipeline 36.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fourth-stage module 64 is used for two-stage heating. The fourth-stage module 64 adopts an electric heater 37, which includes heating fresh air through the electric heater 37. A third temperature sensor 46 is provided between the third-stage module 63 and the fourth-stage module 64.

[0035] In this embodiment, the air supply section 65 includes a fourth temperature sensor 47, a blower 38, and a fresh air supply outlet 39. The blower 38 communicates from the inside of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit to the fresh air inlet 1. The fresh air supply outlet 39 can be connected to facilities such as an external air supply hose of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit to supply the processed fresh air to the aircraft. The fresh air is sucked from the fresh air inlet 1 by the blower 38 and enters the air-conditioning air supply channel 49.

[0036] In this embodiment, an air-conditioning air supply channel 49 is provided inside the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit, which communicates from the front end to the rear end. The indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4, the first-stage evaporator 18, the air-oil heat exchanger 16, the second-stage evaporator 34, the electric heater 37, and the blower 38 are all in the air-conditioning air supply channel 49. Equipment components other than the above-mentioned equipment components are separated from the air-conditioning air supply channel 49 by partitions.

[0037] The specific working process of the refrigeration condition in this embodiment is as follows: When starting to work, turn on the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5, suck the ambient air through the secondary air inlet 2, turn on the cooling water pump 8, turn on the electric valve 10 of the first cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 12 of the third cooling water pipeline, close the electric valve 11 of the second cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 13 of the fourth cooling water pipeline, pump the cooling water in the water collecting tray 42 to the sprayer 7, and sprinkle it outside the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4 through the sprayer 7. Turn on the air supply fan 38, suck the fresh air into the air supply channel 49 of the air conditioner through the fresh air inlet 1, and enter the inside of the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4. The ambient air promotes the evaporation of the cooling water sprinkled outside the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4, absorbs the heat of the fresh air in the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4, and achieves the purpose of cooling the fresh air.

[0038] Specifically, there is a baffle 48 between the fresh air inlet 1 and the secondary air inlet 2. The fresh air only flows inside the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4, and the ambient air flows outside the indirect evaporative cooling pipeline 4. The ambient air is discharged outside the aircraft ground air conditioning unit through the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5. The fresh air and the ambient air do not contact or mix.

[0039] Specifically, in order to prevent the water sprayed by the sprayer 7 from being blown outside by the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5, this embodiment blocks the water through the water filter 6 to reduce the ineffective loss of water.

[0040] Specifically, the cooling water flows between the water collecting tray 42, the cooling water filter 9, and the sprayer 7 through the cooling water pump 8 to cool the fresh air.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fresh air cooled once by the first-stage module 61 enters the second-stage module 62. After the temperature is measured by the first temperature sensor 44 and reaches the set temperature, the electric valve 10 of the first cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 12 of the third cooling water pipeline are closed, the electric valve 11 of the second cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 13 of the fourth cooling water pipeline are opened, so that the cooling water enters the absorber 26 and the first-stage condenser 25, and then enters the sprayer 7. At the same time, turn on the heat conduction oil pump 23, close the electric valve 14 of the first heat conduction oil pipeline and the electric valve 22 of the fourth heat conduction oil pipeline, open the electric valve 15 of the second heat conduction oil pipeline and the electric valve 21 of the third heat conduction oil pipeline, turn on the solution pump 28, and then close the first electric airtight valve 17 and open the second electric airtight valve 19, so that the fresh air flows through the first-stage evaporator 18 for secondary cooling.

[0042] Specifically, the electric valve 10 of the first cooling water pipeline, the electric valve 11 of the second cooling water pipeline, the electric valve 12 of the third cooling water pipeline, the electric valve 13 of the fourth cooling water pipeline, the electric valve 14 of the first heat conduction oil pipeline, the electric valve 15 of the second heat conduction oil pipeline, the electric valve 21 of the third heat conduction oil pipeline, and the electric valve 22 of the fourth heat conduction oil pipeline all adopt solenoid valves.

[0043] Specifically, the solution can be a lithium bromide - aqueous solution, which flows between the generator 27, the absorber 26, and the solution heat exchanger 29 under the action of the solution pump 28.

[0044] Specifically, the heat - conducting oil flows between the concentrating solar collector 20 and the heat - conducting oil heat - exchange coil 52 located inside the generator 27 under the action of the heat - conducting oil pump 23. The heat - conducting oil is heated up in the concentrating solar collector 20 and transfers the heat to the solution in the generator 27 after entering the heat - conducting oil heat - exchange coil 52 located inside the generator 27, vaporizing the water in the solution in the generator 27 into high - pressure and high - temperature steam. The high - pressure and high - temperature steam goes to the primary condenser 25, releases heat and condenses into a high - pressure liquid after being cooled by the cooling water in the primary condenser 25, and then becomes a low - pressure and low - temperature gas - liquid two - phase flow after throttling through the expansion valve 32. After entering the coil inside the primary evaporator 18, it evaporates and absorbs heat, taking away the heat of the fresh air outside the coil of the primary evaporator 18 to achieve the purpose of cooling the fresh air. Finally, the low - temperature and low - pressure steam enters the absorber 26 through the steam inlet of the absorber 26, enters the coil inside the absorber 26, is cooled by the cooling water outside the coil of the absorber 26, and then redissolves into the solution inside the coil of the absorber 26. The solution is boosted in pressure by the solution pump 28, passes through the solution heat exchanger 29, and finally returns to the generator 27, repeating the cycle.

[0045] Specifically, the heat - conducting oil heat - exchange coil 52 transfers heat to the solution in the generator 27, vaporizing the water in the solution in the generator 27 into high - pressure and high - temperature steam. At this time, both the temperature and concentration of the solution in the generator 27 increase, becoming a high - temperature and concentrated solution. The high - temperature and concentrated solution enters the solution heat exchanger 29 under the action of the solution pump 28 for heat exchange with the low - temperature and dilute solution from the absorber 26, and then enters the absorber 26, absorbing the low - temperature and low - pressure steam from the primary evaporator 18 to form a low - temperature and dilute solution, which enters the solution heat exchanger 29 and finally returns to the generator 27, repeating the cycle.

[0046] Specifically, after the switching of the four cooling water pipeline electric valves, the cooling water is changed to flow between the water collecting tray 42, the cooling water filter 9, the absorber 26, the primary condenser 25, and the indirect evaporation cooling pipeline 4 through the cooling water pump 8, taking away not only the heat of the fresh air but also the heat of the absorber 26 and the primary condenser 25.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fresh air after being cooled twice by the primary evaporator 18 enters the tertiary module 63. After the temperature is measured by the second temperature sensor 45 and reaches the set temperature, the compressor 30 is turned on to make the tertiary module 63 start to work. After the fresh air enters the secondary evaporator 34, it is cooled again.

[0048] After the third-level module 63 is turned on, the heat generated by the secondary condenser 31 inside the generator 27 will also be transferred to the solution in the generator 27, causing the water vapor in the solution in the generator 27 to vaporize into high-pressure and high-temperature water vapor. The high-pressure and high-temperature water vapor goes to the primary condenser 25, releases heat and condenses into a high-pressure liquid after being cooled by the cooling water in the primary condenser 25, and then becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase flow after throttling through the expansion valve 32. After entering the coil inside the primary evaporator 18, it evaporates and absorbs heat, and then takes away the fresh air heat outside the coil of the primary evaporator 18, achieving the purpose of cooling the fresh air again. Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure water vapor enters the coil inside the absorber 26. After being cooled by the cooling water outside the coil of the absorber 26, it redissolves into the solution inside the coil of the absorber 26. After being boosted by the solution pump 28, it returns to the generator 27 after passing through the solution heat exchanger 29, and so on in a cycle.

[0049] In this embodiment, after the third-level module 63 measures the temperature according to the third temperature sensor 46, it adjusts the refrigeration output of the third-level module 63 by adjusting the rotation speed of the compressor 30.

[0050] As Figure 5 shown, the thick line is the enthalpy-humidity diagram of the refrigeration process of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit in this embodiment. Point W is the state point of the outdoor air in summer, point W1 is the state point after being cooled by the first-level module 61, point W2 is the state point after being cooled by the second-level module 62, and point O is the state point after being cooled by the third-level module 63; the thin line is the refrigeration process of the traditional aircraft ground air-conditioning unit, and the fresh air is processed from point W to point O through vapor compression refrigeration. The enthalpy value corresponding to point W is 58 kJ / (kg·°C), the enthalpy value corresponding to point W1 is 54 kJ / (kg·°C), the enthalpy value corresponding to point W2 is 44 kJ / (kg·°C), and the enthalpy value corresponding to point O is 12 kJ / (kg·°C). In the refrigeration process of this embodiment, the cold energy provided by the indirect evaporative cooler is utilized from point W to point W1, making full use of the dry air energy, and the energy efficiency is about 3 times that of the traditional vapor compression refrigeration unit. In the refrigeration process of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit in this embodiment, the cold energy provided by the absorption refrigeration unit is utilized from point W1 to point W2. The heat sources of the absorption refrigeration unit are the solar collector 20 and the secondary condenser 31 in the third-level module 63, both of which are free energy. Therefore, compared with the traditional unit, the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit in this embodiment utilizes a variety of free energy, and the energy consumption can be greatly reduced.

[0051] The specific working process of the heating condition in this embodiment is as follows: When starting to work, turn on the supply fan 38 to allow fresh air to enter the air supply channel 49 of the air conditioner through the fresh air inlet 1. Turn off the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 and the cooling water pump 8 in the first-stage module 61, and close the first cooling water pipeline electric valve 10, the second cooling water pipeline electric valve 11, the third cooling water pipeline electric valve 12, and the fourth cooling water pipeline electric valve 13 to make the first-stage module 61 not work. At the same time, turn on the heat conduction oil pump 23, open the first heat conduction oil pipeline electric valve 14 and the fourth heat conduction oil pipeline electric valve 22, close the second heat conduction oil pipeline electric valve 15 and the third heat conduction oil pipeline electric valve 21, and turn off the solution pump 28 to turn off the refrigeration work of the second-stage module 62. Then open the first electric airtight valve 17 and close the second electric airtight valve 19 to allow the fresh air to flow through the air-oil heat exchanger 16 for temperature rise.

[0052] Specifically, the heat collected by the concentrating solar collector 20 is transferred to the heat conduction oil, and the heat conduction oil enters the air-oil heat exchanger 16 through the heat conduction oil pipeline 41 to transfer the heat to the fresh air, so that the fresh air is heated once.

[0053] When the temperature of the fresh air after the second-stage module 62 measured by the second temperature sensor 45 is lower than the set temperature, adjust the power of the electric heater 37 of the fourth-stage module 64 to make the final outlet air temperature meet the requirements.

[0054] As Figure 6 shown, it is the enthalpy-humidity diagram of the heating process of the aircraft ground air conditioner unit in this embodiment. Point W is the state point of the outdoor air in winter, point W1 is the state point after preheating by the second-stage module 62, and point O is the state point after temperature rise by the fourth-stage module 64. The traditional aircraft ground air conditioner unit uses an electric heater to heat the outdoor air from point W to point O. The enthalpy value corresponding to point W is 11 kJ / (kg·°C), the enthalpy value corresponding to point W1 is 14 kJ / (kg·°C), and the enthalpy value corresponding to point O is 51 kJ / (kg·°C). In the heating process of the aircraft ground air conditioner unit in this embodiment, the free heat obtained by the solar collector 20 is used from point W to point W1. Therefore, compared with the traditional aircraft ground air conditioner unit, the heating energy consumption of this embodiment is expected to be reduced by (14 - 11) / (51 - 11) = 7.5%.

[0055] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides a control method for a multi-stage refrigeration and heating aircraft ground air conditioner unit, which is applied to the aircraft ground air conditioner unit provided in Embodiment 1. The control method of the aircraft ground air conditioner unit includes the following processes: Refrigeration condition: Before picking up the plane, first turn on the cooling water pump 8 and the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 to start the operation of the first-stage module 61, and turn on the supply fan 38 to cool the fresh air once.

[0056] Specifically, before picking up the machine, open the electric valve 10 of the first cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 12 of the third cooling water pipeline, and close the electric valve 11 of the second cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 13 of the fourth cooling water pipeline.

[0057] After the temperature of the fresh air is measured by the first temperature sensor 44 and reaches the preset temperature, start the heat conduction oil pump 23, close the electric valve 10 of the first cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 12 of the third cooling water pipeline, and open the electric valve 11 of the second cooling water pipeline and the electric valve 13 of the fourth cooling water pipeline, so that the secondary module 62 starts to operate for secondary refrigeration.

[0058] Specifically, at the same time, close the first electric airtight valve 17 and open the second electric airtight valve 19 to allow the fresh air to flow through the primary evaporator 18 for secondary cooling.

[0059] The fresh air that has been secondary cooled by the primary evaporator 18 of the secondary module 62 enters the tertiary module 63. After the temperature is measured by the second temperature sensor 45 and reaches the preset temperature, turn on the compressor 30 so that the tertiary module 63 starts to operate. After the fresh air enters the secondary evaporator 34, the fresh air is cooled three times.

[0060] Specifically, after the temperature is measured by the third temperature sensor 46 in the tertiary module 63, the refrigeration output of the tertiary module 63 is adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the compressor 30.

[0061] After normal operation, when the air temperature after the primary module 61 is higher than the set temperature, control to increase the rotation speeds of the cooling water pump 8 and the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 so that the primary module 61 increases its refrigeration output until the processed air temperature meets the requirements.

[0062] When the temperature shown by the heat conduction oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 is higher than the set temperature, it indicates that the solar irradiance on that day is higher than the predetermined value. At this time, increase the rotation speed of the heat conduction oil pump 23 to increase the output of the secondary module 62.

[0063] When the temperature shown by the heat conduction oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 is lower than the set temperature, it indicates that the solar irradiance on that day is low and does not meet the requirement of the operating energy efficiency ratio. Close the heat conduction oil pump 23, cut off the heat conduction oil flow in the heat conduction oil pipeline 41 and the heat conduction oil heat exchange coil 52. When the temperature of the medium in the heat conduction oil pipeline 41 is higher than the set temperature, reopen the heat conduction oil pump 23 and reconnect the heat conduction oil pipeline 41 and the heat conduction oil heat exchange coil 52.

[0064] When the air temperature after the tertiary module 63 is higher than the set temperature, increase the rotation speed of the compressor 30 in the tertiary module 63 to increase the output of the tertiary module 63 to meet the requirement of the air temperature after the tertiary module 63.

[0065] Specifically, after the secondary module 62 operates normally, when the conductivity meter 50 on the outlet pipe of the primary evaporator 18 measures liquid water in the outlet pipe of the primary evaporator 18, it indicates that the primary evaporator 18 has not completely evaporated the incoming liquid water, which means that the cooling load demand of the primary evaporator 18 is decreasing; at this time, the opening of the solenoid valve 51 on the pipe at the steam outlet of the generator 27 is adjusted smaller through the signal sent by the conductivity meter 50.

[0066] After the opening of the solenoid valve 51 is adjusted smaller, the flow rate of the high-pressure steam entering the primary condenser 25 decreases, and the steam generated in the generator 27 will accumulate, increasing the pressure above the liquid level of the solution in the inner tank 60 of the generator 27, pushing the inner tank 60 of the generator 27 downward, exposing the secondary condenser 31 above the liquid level of the solution, as Figure 3 shown, thereby reducing the heating amount of the solution by the secondary condenser 31. As the heating amount of the solution gradually decreases, the outlet pressures of the secondary condenser 31 and the compressor 30 gradually increase.

[0067] Specifically, when the outlet pressure of the compressor 30 reaches 90% of the overpressure alarm pressure, the power of the compressor 30 is reduced.

[0068] As the heating amount of the solution gradually decreases, the evaporation amount of the solution in the generator 27 also decreases accordingly. At this time, the conductivity meter 50 on the outlet pipe of the primary evaporator 18 measures that the liquid water at this place gradually decreases until it disappears, and the opening of the solenoid valve 51 is adjusted larger, so that the flow rate of the high-pressure steam entering the primary condenser 25 from the generator 27 increases, and the pressure above the liquid level of the solution in the inner tank 60 of the generator 27 will decrease accordingly, and the inner tank 60 moves upward, submerging the secondary condenser 31 in the solution again to continue heating the solution to promote the evaporation of the solution, as Figure 4 shown, the outlet pressures of the secondary condenser 31 and the compressor 30 gradually decrease.

[0069] When the outlet pressure of the compressor 30 decreases to 110% of the minimum allowable pressure, the power of the compressor 30 is increased, and so on in a cycle.

[0070] Throughout the process, the heat transfer oil heat exchange coil 52 is always completely immersed in the solution, which is used to ensure the output of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit under low load, avoid the low-load operation of the compressor 30, and can realize the independent, fast and stepless adjustment of the refrigeration capacity of the absorption refrigeration unit. At the same time, it greatly reduces the frequent adjustment and low-load operation of the power of the compressor 30.

[0071] Heating condition: When the working condition of the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit is switched from the refrigeration condition to the heating condition, the cooling water pump 8 and the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 are turned off, the electric valves 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the first, second, third, and fourth cooling water pipelines are closed, so that the first-stage module 61 is closed, the electric valves 14 and 22 of the first heat-conducting oil pipeline are opened, the electric valves 15 and 21 of the second and third heat-conducting oil pipelines are closed, the solution pump 28 is closed, the heat-conducting oil pump 23 is opened, the first electric airtight damper 17 is opened, the second electric airtight damper 19 is closed, the fresh air flows through the air-oil heat exchanger 16 for heating up, and the heating function of the second-stage module 62 is turned on.

[0072] When the temperature shown by the heat-conducting oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 is higher than the set temperature, it indicates that the solar irradiance on that day is higher than the predetermined value. At this time, by increasing the rotation speed of the heat-conducting oil pump 23, the heating output of the second-stage module 62 is increased.

[0073] When the temperature shown by the heat-conducting oil pipeline temperature sensor 24 is lower than the fresh air temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 44, it indicates that the solar irradiance on that day is too low. At this time, the heat-conducting oil pump 23 is closed, the air-oil heat exchanger 16 is closed, and the ineffective loss of fresh air heat is reduced.

[0074] When the fresh air temperature after passing through the second-stage module 62 measured by the second temperature sensor 45 is lower than the set temperature, the power of the electric heater 37 of the fourth-stage module 64 is increased to make the final outlet air temperature meet the requirements.

[0075] Specifically, the control system adopted by the control method of the multi-stage refrigeration and heating aircraft ground air-conditioning unit in this embodiment is a PLC control system.

[0076] Embodiment 3: This embodiment provides a control method for preventing the solution from crystallizing in the solution heat exchanger 29. The control method is applied to the aircraft ground air-conditioning unit described in Embodiment 1 and specifically includes the following process: Since the water vapor pressure above the solution liquid level in the inner tank 60 of the generator 27 is constant, and the concentrated solution side of the solution heat exchanger 29 is connected to the inside of the generator 27, the pressure of the concentrated solution in the solution heat exchanger 29 and the generator 27 is the same and constant. At this time, the saturation concentration of the solution is only related to the solution temperature. In this way, the traditional problem of the saturation concentration of the solution being coupled with two factors, namely the solution temperature and the internal pressure of the generator 27, is adjusted to a problem only related to the single factor of the solution temperature. Then the saturation concentration of the solution at different temperatures is determined. As long as it is ensured that the temperature of the solution at a certain determined concentration is not lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to this concentration, the solution can be ensured not to crystallize.

[0077] The concentration of the concentrated solution at the solution outlet of the generator 27 is measured by the solution concentration sensor 56 provided thereon, and the saturation temperature corresponding to this concentration is calculated.

[0078] The temperature of the concentrated solution at the solution outlet of the generator 27 is measured by the first solution temperature sensor 54 provided thereon.

[0079] The flow rate of the solution pump 28 and the temperature of the dilute solution are respectively measured by the flow sensor 57 and the second solution temperature sensor 55 provided at the solution outlet of the absorber 26.

[0080] Then, at this time, the temperature and concentration of the concentrated solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 are known, and the temperature and flow rate of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 are also known. Since the solution pump 28 is a fixed-frequency pump, the flow rate remains unchanged, and since it is the same pipeline, the flow rate of the concentrated solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 is equal to the flow rate of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29. Then, the flow rate of the concentrated solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 is also known.

[0081] Through heat exchange calculation, the critical temperature of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 can be obtained.

[0082] When the temperature of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 is higher than the critical temperature, the outlet temperature of the concentrated solution will not be lower than the saturation temperature at the concentration of the concentrated solution itself. At this time, the concentrated solution will not crystallize. The rotational speeds of the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 and the cooling water pump 8 should be increased to lower the temperature of the cooling water, improve the cooling capacity of the cooling water, and thereby improve the refrigeration efficiency of the unit.

[0083] When the temperature of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger 29 is lower than the critical temperature, the outlet temperature of the concentrated solution will also be lower than the saturation temperature at the concentration of the concentrated solution itself. At this time, the concentrated solution will crystallize. The rotational speeds of the evaporative cooling exhaust fan 5 and the cooling water pump 8 should be decreased to increase the temperature of the cooling water, reduce the cooling capacity of the cooling water, and prevent crystallization.

[0084] Ultimately, by precisely controlling the temperature of the cooling water, on the premise of ensuring the refrigeration efficiency of the unit, the purpose of reducing the crystallization of the concentrated solution in the solution heat exchanger 29 is achieved, and neither the cooling water temperature is conservatively increased nor the cooling water temperature is rashly decreased.

As the amount of heating of the solution gradually decreases, the outlet pressures of the secondary condenser (31) and the compressor (30) gradually increase. When the outlet pressure of the compressor (30) reaches 90% of the overpressure alarm pressure, the power of the compressor (30) is reduced; As the amount of heating applied to the solution gradually decreases, the amount of evaporation of the solution in the generator (27) also decreases. At this time, the liquid water in the outlet pipe of the first-stage evaporator (18) gradually decreases until it disappears. The flow rate on the water vapor outlet pipe of the generator (27) increases, and the pressure above the liquid surface of the solution in the inner tank (60) of the generator (27) decreases accordingly. The inner tank (60) moves upward accordingly, so that the secondary condenser (31) is immersed in the solution again to continue heating the solution to cause the solution to evaporate. The outlet pressure of the secondary condenser (31) and the compressor (30) gradually decreases. When the outlet pressure of the compressor (30) decreases to 110% of the minimum allowable pressure, the power of the compressor (30) is increased.

Since the solution pump (28) is a fixed-frequency pump, the flow rate is always constant, and the flow rate of the concentrated solution is equal to the flow rate of the dilute solution; through heat exchange calculation, the critical temperature of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger (29) is obtained; When the temperature of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger (29) is higher than the critical temperature, the outlet temperature of the concentrated solution will not be lower than the saturation temperature of the concentrated solution at its own concentration, and the concentrated solution will not crystallize. At this time, the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline is reduced; When the temperature of the dilute solution entering the solution heat exchanger (29) is lower than the critical temperature, the outlet temperature of the concentrated solution will also be lower than the saturation temperature of the concentrated solution at its own concentration, and the concentrated solution will crystallize, thereby increasing the temperature of the medium in the cooling water pipeline.
