Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building energy conservation, and particularly to a building air-conditioning integrated cooling method and device based on a high-density new medium. Background Art

[0002] Energy utilization and building energy conservation are important fields for sustainable development in today's society. The core lies in how to efficiently utilize resources, reduce energy consumption, and maximize economic benefits. However, existing cold storage technologies face significant limitations in practical applications. Water cold storage relies on sensible heat storage, with a low cold storage density, resulting in a large cold storage space required, and high construction and maintenance costs. Ice cold storage, although it improves the cold storage density through latent heat of phase change, significantly reduces the refrigeration temperature, and the energy efficiency drops significantly. At the same time, the complex system design and the use of corrosive media further increase the initial investment and the burden of later maintenance. These defects together point to a practical problem: traditional cold storage technologies cannot technically achieve efficient and low-cost cold storage and supply.

[0003] The limitations of existing methods are mainly reflected in the contradiction between the operation mode and energy efficiency. Both water cold storage and ice cold storage need to separate cold storage and cold release operations and cannot achieve simultaneous cold storage and supply. This not only increases the energy consumption of the secondary pump but also reduces the overall flexibility of the system. In addition, the energy efficiency of ice cold storage decreases due to low-temperature refrigeration, while water cold storage is limited by low cold storage density and is difficult to meet the cold demand of large-scale buildings. This technical disconnection directly affects the achievement of energy-saving goals. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main object of the present invention is to provide a building air-conditioning integrated cooling method and device based on a high-density new medium to achieve efficient and low-cost cold storage and supply, solve the limitations of traditional cold storage technologies, and achieve the goals of building energy conservation and maximum economic benefits.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a building air-conditioning integrated cooling method based on a high-density new medium, including the following steps: Obtain environmental data and building cold demand data, calculate the cold load per unit area data and electricity price period distribution data, correct the cold load calculation value based on the building type, and reserve 10%-15% cold redundancy to determine the target cold storage density and refrigeration temperature range, and obtain the preliminary design parameters for cold plate encapsulation; Encapsulate a new phase change medium with a density greater than that of ice cold storage into cold plates of a preset geometric shape, and calculate the cold plate arrangement and stacking quantity based on the preliminary design parameters; Construct a three-zone series structure of the cold storage tank, with the middle cold storage area accommodating stacked cold plates, and fluid channels arranged in the two side heat exchange areas. The cold storage area and the heat exchange area are thermodynamically coupled through a preset partition ratio; Based on the heat transfer characteristics of the three-zone series structure, set the heat exchange temperature parameters between the inlet water temperature of 4°C and the new phase change medium of 4 - 7°C; During the valley and flat periods of the electricity price, perform coordinated operation of cold storage and cooling, so that the 4°C inlet water exchanges heat with the new phase change medium with a temperature difference of 4 - 7°C when flowing through the cold storage tank, and outputs cold water at 7 - 8°C to the air-conditioning terminal; Activate the cold release mode of the cold storage tank during the peak period of the electricity price, stop the operation of the refrigeration system, and continuously output cold water at 7 - 8°C to maintain cooling through reverse heat exchange of the new phase change medium.

[0006] Further, the steps of obtaining environmental data and building cooling demand data, calculating the cooling load data per unit area and the electricity price period distribution data, correcting the calculated value of the cooling load based on the building type, and reserving 10% - 15% cooling redundancy to determine the target cold storage density and the refrigeration temperature range, and obtaining the preliminary design parameters of the cold plate package include: Real-time collect environmental data such as outdoor temperature and humidity, solar radiation intensity through the building energy consumption monitoring system, and calculate the basic cooling load in combination with the thermal parameters of the building envelope structure; Divide the peak-valley-flat periods based on the time-of-use electricity price data, map the basic cooling load to the cooling demand in each period, and generate a dynamic load distribution curve; Correct the dynamic load distribution curve according to the building type coefficient, determine the target cold storage density of the peak cooling load that needs to cover the peak period of the electricity price, and reserve 10% - 15% cooling redundancy; Combine the phase change characteristics of the phase change medium, calculate the cold storage capacity and heat exchange area of a single cold plate, and output the preliminary design parameters including the cold plate thickness and arrangement spacing.

[0007] Further, the steps of encapsulating the new phase change medium with a density greater than the ice cold storage density into a cold plate with a preset geometric shape and calculating the cold plate arrangement method and stacking quantity based on the preliminary design parameters include: Inject and mold the high-density new phase change medium into a cold plate with a square honeycomb structure or a circular tube bundle structure with internal flow channels; The density of the new phase change medium is not less than 1000 kg / m³, the latent heat of phase change value is greater than 200 kJ / kg, and the phase change temperature range is 4.5 ± 0.5°C to 6.5 ± 0.5°C; Based on the target cold storage density requirement in the preliminary design parameters, calculate the matching relationship between the stacking layers of the cold plates and the diversion gap between layers, and control the stacking spacing within the range of 5 - 10 cm.

[0008] Further, the steps of constructing the three-zone series structure of the cold storage tank, with the middle cold storage area accommodating the stacked cold plates and the fluid channels arranged in the two side heat exchange areas include: A cold storage tank with a three - zone series structure is set up. A stack array of cold plates arranged longitudinally is set in the middle cold storage area, and tapered fluid channels are configured in the heat exchange areas on both sides; The fluid channel layout of the three - zone series structure of the cold tank is adapted to the cross - sectional shape of the flow channels of the cold plates; The fluid channels adopt a tapered channel design with a wide inlet and a narrow outlet. The cross - sectional area ratio of the inlet to the outlet is 1.2:1 to 1.5:1, and guide fins with an inclination angle of 30° - 45° are provided between adjacent cold plates; The volume ratio of the cold storage area to the single - side heat exchange area is set to 3:1 to 2:1, and the volume distribution ratio between the cold storage area and the heat exchange area is dynamically adjusted according to the cold plate stacking density and the heat exchange rate of the phase - change medium.

[0009] Further, the step of setting the heat exchange temperature parameters of the set inlet water temperature of 4°C and the new phase - change medium of 4 - 7°C includes: Real - time monitor the difference between the temperature of the new phase - change medium and the inlet water temperature. When the medium temperature reaches the set threshold, automatically adjust the inlet water flow rate to strengthen heat exchange and maintain an effective heat exchange temperature range of 4 - 7°C.

[0010] Further, the step of performing coordinated cold storage and cooling operations during the valley and flat periods of the electricity price includes: Start the cold storage mode during the valley period of the electricity price. Control 70% - 80% of the 4°C inlet water flow rate to flow through the cold storage tank for cold storage, and the remaining water flow rate is directly bypassed to the outlet end for mixing; Switch to the cooling - priority mode during the flat period of the electricity price. Adjust 30% - 50% of the inlet water flow rate to release cold through the cold storage tank to supplement the cooling capacity of the refrigeration host; Real - time monitor the outlet water temperature. When the water temperature deviates from the range of 7 - 8°C, perform temperature - stability control by dynamically adjusting the water flow rate ratio between the cold storage tank and the bypass pipeline; During the valley and flat periods of the electricity price, real - time monitor the outlet water temperature. Adjust the cooling load through the flow rate distribution of the cold storage tank to keep the outlet water temperature stable in the target range of 7 - 8°C.

[0011] Further, the step of activating the cold - quantity release mode of the cold storage tank during the peak period of the electricity price includes: When starting the peak period of the electricity price, switch the inlet and outlet directions of the cold storage tank and control the cold - release rate. The cold - quantity release duration covers at least 80% of the peak - period duration of the electricity price; Adjust the cold - release intensity in real - time according to the cold - quantity demand at the air - conditioning terminal until the temperature of the new phase - change medium rises back to the critical value of 7°C.

[0014] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above-mentioned building air-conditioning integrated cooling method based on a high-density new medium are realized.

[0015] The integrated cooling method and device for building air conditioners based on a high-density new medium provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects: In terms of cold storage performance, the present invention adopts a new phase change medium with a density greater than that of ice cold storage, greatly improving the cold storage density. Compared with water cold storage, it reduces the demand for cold storage space, lowers the construction and maintenance costs, and at the same time overcomes the problem of reduced energy efficiency caused by low-temperature refrigeration in ice cold storage. At the same time, by performing coordinated operations of cold storage and cooling during the valley and flat periods of the electricity price, it breaks the limitation of the traditional cold storage technology that separates cold storage and cold release operations, reduces the energy consumption of secondary pumps, improves the flexibility of the system, and better meets the cooling demand of large-scale buildings. In addition, by constructing a cold storage tank with a three-zone series structure, optimizing the layout of the fluid channels, combining precise setting of heat exchange temperature parameters and intelligent flow regulation, it accurately controls the cold output, maintains a stable water supply temperature of 7 - 8 °C at the air-conditioning terminal, improves the cooling quality, and effectively contributes to the realization of the building energy-saving goal.

[0018] In order to make the object, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] Refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic flowchart of an integrated cooling method for building air conditioners based on a high-density new medium proposed by the present invention, and includes the following steps: S1. Obtain environmental data and building cooling demand data. By calculating the cooling load data per unit area and the electricity price period distribution data, correct the calculated cooling load value based on the building type, and reserve a 10%-15% cooling redundancy to determine the target cold storage density and refrigeration temperature range, and obtain the preliminary design parameters for cold plate encapsulation; S2. Encapsulate a new phase change medium with a density greater than that of ice cold storage into cold plates of a preset geometric shape, and calculate the cold plate arrangement and stacking quantity based on the preliminary design parameters; S3. Construct a three-zone series structure for the cold storage tank. The middle cold storage zone accommodates stacked cold plates, and fluid channels are arranged in the two side heat exchange zones. The cold storage zone and the heat exchange zone are thermodynamically coupled through a preset partition ratio. S4. Based on the heat transfer characteristics of the three-zone series structure, set the heat exchange temperature parameters of the inlet water temperature of 4°C and the new phase change medium of 4 - 7°C. S5. Implement the coordinated operation of cold storage and cooling during the valley and flat periods of the electricity price. Enable the 4°C inlet water to exchange heat with the new phase change medium with a temperature difference of 4 - 7°C when flowing through the cold storage tank, and output 7 - 8°C chilled water to the air-conditioning terminal. S6. Activate the cold release mode of the cold storage tank during the peak period of the electricity price, stop the operation of the refrigeration system, and continuously output 7 - 8°C chilled water to maintain cooling through the reverse heat exchange of the new phase change medium.

[0020] As described in step S1 above, use sensors to collect parameters such as outdoor temperature and humidity, solar radiation intensity, and wind speed in real time, and combine with historical meteorological data to predict future cooling load requirements. Based on the cooling load calculation standards for building types (such as office buildings and shopping malls), combine with the thermal parameters of the building envelope structure (heat transfer coefficient U value, thermal inertia index D value), indoor personnel density, equipment heat generation, etc., to establish a dynamic cooling load model. Superimpose the time-of-use electricity price data of the power grid (peak period, valley period, flat period) with the time series of the cooling load demand to generate a cold storage target curve that needs to cover the peak period of the electricity price. Introduce a correction factor (1.0 - 1.5) according to the building function characteristics (such as large fluctuations in the number of people in shopping malls and stable heat generation of data center equipment) to adjust the basic cooling load value. Add a 10% - 15% redundancy on the basis of the corrected peak cooling load to cope with extreme weather or load mutations. According to the redundant cooling load demand and the physical properties of the new phase change medium (latent heat of phase change, density), calculate the unit volume cold storage density (≥3.5 RT / m³). Based on the cold storage density and heat exchange efficiency requirements, determine the cold plate thickness (10 - 15 cm), arrangement spacing (5 - 10 cm), and flow channel cross-sectional area.

[0021] As described in the above step S2, a high-density composite phase change material is used as the phase change medium, with a density ≥ 1000 kg / m³, a latent heat of phase change > 200 kJ / kg, and the phase change temperature is precisely controlled within the range of 4.5 ± 0.5 °C to 6.5 ± 0.5 °C, matching the temperature difference between the supply and return water of the air-conditioning system (4 °C - 12 °C). The phase change medium is encapsulated into a square honeycomb structure or a circular tube bundle structure with internal flow channels, the flow channel diameter is 3 - 5 mm, and the uniformity of the flow channels is ensured through the injection molding process, increasing the heat transfer area and reducing the flow resistance. According to the cold plate thickness and spacing in the preliminary design parameters of S1, the longitudinal staggered stacking or transverse parallel arrangement method is adopted, and the CFD simulation is combined to optimize the flow field distribution. A 5 - 10 cm diversion gap is set between layers, and diversion fins with an inclination angle of 30° - 45° are additionally arranged on the cold plate surface to strengthen the turbulent heat transfer. Among them, the density of the phase change medium ≥ 1000 kg / m³, and this density value is based on the formulation design of the new composite phase change material. By compounding a paraffin-based phase change material with high-density metal oxides (such as alumina, zinc oxide) and adding carbon nanotubes to enhance the structural stability, the material density is increased to more than 1000 kg / m³; the latent heat of phase change > 200 kJ / kg, and by optimizing the ratio of the phase change material (such as the eutectic ratio of paraffin and fatty acid) and the doping amount of nano-additives (such as graphene), the latent heat value of the phase change material is increased; the phase change temperature range of 4.5 °C - 6.5 °C is selected to utilize the 4 °C outlet water temperature of the air-conditioning main unit during the valley and flat sections for efficient cold storage, while avoiding the low-temperature refrigeration (-3 °C to -9 °C) required for ice cold storage, thereby reducing the energy consumption loss of the refrigerating machine.

[0022] As described in the above step S3, a three-zone series cold storage tank is constructed. The middle area is the cold storage area, accommodating the cold plate stacking array, with a volume ratio of 60% - 70%, and the cold plates are arranged longitudinally to adapt to the water flow direction; the heat exchange areas with tapered fluid channels are set on both sides, and the inlet cross-sectional area is larger than the outlet (ratio 1.2:1 - 1.5:1), and the heat transfer efficiency is enhanced through the change in flow velocity gradient (0.3 m / s → 0.8 m / s). A high-thermal-conductivity alloy partition (thermal conductivity > 200 W / m·K) is set between the cold storage area and the heat exchange area, and the surface is coated with a graphene coating (thermal conductivity > 500 W / m·K) to ensure that heat is quickly transferred to the cold plates. According to the heat transfer rate of the phase change medium (feedback through temperature sensors), the volume allocation ratio (3:1 - 2:1) between the cold storage area and the heat exchange area is adjusted in real time to maintain the overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0023] As described in the above step S4, the allowable temperature difference range between the new phase change medium and the inlet water is set to 2 °C - 3 °C (4 °C inlet water and the medium temperature of 4.5 °C - 7 °C). The ΔT is monitored in real time through temperature sensors. When ΔT < 2 °C, the pump flow rate is increased to 120% of the design value; when ΔT > 3 °C, the flow rate is reduced to 80% to ensure an effective heat exchange temperature zone.

[0024] As described in step S5 above, a dual-mode operation strategy is set. During the valley-stage cold storage mode, at the valley-stage of electricity price (such as 0:00 - 6:00), 70% - 80% of the 4°C cold water flow is controlled to flow through the cold storage tank for cold storage, and the remaining flow is directly transported to the end through the bypass pipeline. After mixing, the outlet water temperature is stabilized at 7 - 8°C. During the flat-stage cooling priority mode, at the flat-stage of electricity price (such as 6:00 - 10:00), 30% - 50% of the flow is adjusted to flow through the cold storage tank to release cold, supplementing the cooling capacity of the refrigeration host and reducing the host load. Through the feedback signal of the end temperature sensor, the water volume distribution ratio between the cold storage tank and the bypass pipeline is dynamically adjusted (PID control algorithm) to ensure that the outlet water temperature fluctuation ≤ ±0.5°C.

[0025] As described in step S6 above, during the peak-stage of electricity price (such as 10:00 - 15:00), the water pump flow direction is switched, and the cold water flows reversely through the cold storage area from both sides of the heat exchange area, using the latent heat of the phase change medium to release cold. According to the real-time cold demand (fed back by the end load sensor), the water pump flow is adjusted by frequency conversion (0.5 - 2.0 m³ / s) so that the cold release duration covers more than 80% of the peak-stage time. When the temperature of the phase change medium rises to the critical value of 7°C, an early warning is triggered and the standby refrigeration system is started to ensure the continuity of cooling supply.

[0026] Example 1, comparison of the cold storage efficiency between the three-zone series structure and the single-zone structure. To verify the performance advantages of the three-zone series structure, a comparative experiment is designed: the experimental group uses the three-zone cold storage tank of the present invention (total volume 500 m³, volume ratio of the cold storage area to the heat exchange area is 3:1), and the control group uses a traditional single-zone cold storage tank (volume 500 m³, no partition design). Both are filled with new type phase change medium cold plates of the same specification (density 1000 kg / m³, latent heat 200 kJ / kg). Under the conditions of an inlet water temperature of 4°C and a flow rate of 100 m³ / h, the performance during the cold storage stage (6 hours) and the cold release stage (4 hours) is tested. The experimental results show that the cold storage rate of the three-zone structure reaches 4.5 RT / h, which is 40.6% higher than that of the single-zone structure at 3.2 RT / h; the cold release duration is extended to 4.8 hours, which is 50% higher than that of the single-zone at 3.2 hours. In addition, the heat exchange efficiency of the three-zone structure reaches 1.25 kW / m³·K, which is 47% higher than that of the single-zone structure (0.85 kW / m³·K). Its core advantage lies in the tapered flow channel design (inlet cross-sectional area ratio 1.3:1), which strengthens the turbulent heat exchange through the change of flow velocity gradient (from 0.3 m / s to 0.8 m / s), and at the same time dynamically adjusts the volume ratio of the cold storage area to the heat exchange area (from 70% to 60%), extending the cold release duration. This example verifies the optimization effect of the three-zone series structure on thermodynamic coupling.

[0027] Example 2, Comprehensive performance comparison with traditional water-cooling energy storage and ice-cooling energy storage. For the peak cooling load demand (1200 RT, lasting for 6 hours) of a 100,000 ㎡ office building, the performance differences among water-cooling energy storage, ice-cooling energy storage and the system of the present invention are compared. The water-cooling energy storage system needs to build a 10,000 m³ chilled water storage tank (cooling storage density of 2.6 RT / m³), the ice-cooling energy storage system needs an 800 m³ ice tank (cooling storage density of 3.2 RT / m³), while the three-zone cooling storage tank of the present invention only requires a volume of 500 m³ (cooling storage density of 5.7 RT / m³), with the floor area reduced by 95%. In terms of energy efficiency, since the ice-cooling energy storage needs to refrigerate at -6°C, the system COP is as low as 2.5 and the energy consumption reaches 7200 kWh; the present invention operates under the condition of 4°C, with a COP of 4.6 and the peak-section energy consumption only 3600 kWh, saving 50% of the energy. In addition, the present invention can store and supply cooling synchronously during the valley and flat sections of the electricity price, while the traditional technology needs to operate at different times. This example highlights the synergistic advantages of the high-density phase change medium (density of 1000 kg / m³ and latent heat of 200 kJ / kg) and the three-zone structure, supporting the function of storing and supplying while.

[0028] Example 3, For a 20,000 ㎡ office building project, the outdoor temperature and humidity (summer peak: 32°C / 65%RH), solar radiation intensity (600 W / m²) and indoor personnel density (peak value: 0.1 person / ㎡) are collected through the building energy consumption monitoring system (BEMS). Combining with the building envelope structure parameters (exterior wall heat transfer coefficient of 0.6 W / m²·K, SHGC value of double-layer glass of 0.25), the basic cooling load is calculated to be 320 RT by using the cooling load coefficient method. According to the time-of-use electricity price policy (peak section: 10:00-15:00, electricity price of 1.0 yuan / kWh; valley section: 22:00-6:00, electricity price of 0.25 yuan / kWh), a dynamic load curve is generated, and the cooling demand to be covered in the peak section is 260 RT. After introducing the office building type correction coefficient of 1.0, the corrected peak cooling load is 320 RT, and a 10% redundancy is added to 352 RT. Based on the characteristics of the phase change medium (density of 1000 kg / m³ and latent heat of 200 kJ / kg), the target cooling storage density is calculated to be 5.5 RT / m³, and the size of a single cold plate is determined to be 1.0 m×0.5 m×0.1 m, with a stacking spacing of 5 cm.

[0029] The composite phase change material (eutectic system of paraffin-stearic acid doped with 3wt% graphene) is injection molded into a circular tube bundle structure cold plate with an internal annular flow channel of 3 mm in diameter, and the single-plate cold storage capacity is 0.8 RT. Based on the target cold storage density, the total number of cold plates to be stacked is calculated to be 440, arranged in a matrix of 15 layers longitudinally and 30 columns transversely, with a 5 cm diversion gap and 35° inclined copper fins set between layers. The total occupied volume of the cold plate array is 1.0 m × 0.5 m × 0.1 m × 440 ≈ 22 m³, and the total volume of the cold storage tank is designed to be 80 m³ (including the heat exchange area and structural margin). The cold storage tank is prefabricated with fiberglass-reinforced plastic, with a total length of 8 m × width of 4 m × height of 2.5 m. The middle cold storage area is 5 m long, accommodating the cold plate stacking array; the heat exchange areas on both sides are each 1.5 m long, arranged with tapered flow channels (inlet section 0.8 m × 2.5 m → outlet 0.6 m × 2.5 m, cross-sectional area ratio 1.33:1). A 2 mm thick aluminum alloy heat conducting partition is set between the cold storage area and the heat exchange area, with a silicon carbide coating (thermal conductivity 480 W / m·K) applied on the surface. The temperature of the phase change medium is monitored in real time through Internet of Things sensors. When the heat exchange rate drops, the volume ratio of the cold storage area is automatically adjusted from 65% to 60%, and at the same time, the cross-sectional area of the flow channel in the heat exchange area is increased by 8% to maintain the flow velocity within the range of 0.5 - 0.7 m / s.

[0030] During the cold storage stage, the 4°C influent water is pumped to the cold storage tank by a variable-frequency water pump (rated flow rate: 50 m³ / h). The surface temperature of the cold plate (4.8 - 6.2°C) and the temperature difference (ΔT) between the influent water temperature are monitored in real time by distributed temperature sensors. When ΔT < 1.5°C, the pump frequency is increased from 40 Hz to 48 Hz, and the flow rate increases to 60 m³ / h; when ΔT > 2.5°C, the frequency is decreased to 35 Hz, and the flow rate is reduced to 44 m³ / h. The fuzzy PID controller adjusts the parameters every 5 seconds to ensure that the outlet water temperature is stable at 7.5 ± 0.2°C. During the valley period (22:00 - 6:00), 75% of the flow rate (37.5 m³ / h) flows through the cold storage tank for cold storage, with a cold storage rate of 2.2 RT / h, and the remaining 25% of the flow rate (12.5 m³ / h) bypasses to the end, and the mixed outlet water temperature is 7.8°C. During the flat period (6:00 - 10:00), it switches to the cooling priority mode. 40% of the flow rate (20 m³ / h) flows through the cold storage tank to release cold energy (cold release rate: 1.1 RT / h), the host load is reduced from 100% to 70%, and the COP is increased from 3.8 to 4.5.
