Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clean environment control, and in particular to a clean room energy-saving pressure control method and system based on a dynamic pipe network and model predictive control. Background Art
[0002] As an important infrastructure supporting high-tech industries, the clean industry is entering a golden period of rapid development. How to improve the energy efficiency of air-conditioning systems while maintaining high cleanliness has become a difficult problem that the clean industry urgently needs to solve.
[0003] Cleanroom pressure difference refers to the pressure difference between the cleanroom and the adjacent area or the external environment. It is an important parameter for cleanroom environmental control and plays a key role in maintaining the cleanliness of the cleanroom and preventing external pollutants from entering. Existing cleanroom pressure difference control strategies include: multi-fan combined frequency conversion technology, coordinated demand control ventilation strategy, variable residual air volume tracking method, zoned air conditioning and independent control method, and heat recovery system combined with variable air volume control method.
[0004] The multi-fan joint frequency conversion technology builds a pressure difference control system model based on the system air volume balance, and adds fresh air and exhaust air frequency conversion control. However, the coordinated control of multiple fans is difficult, and the fan states affect each other. Once an abnormality occurs, it is easy to cause pressure imbalance and oscillation, making it difficult to stabilize the pressure difference. The coordinated demand control ventilation strategy coordinates the outdoor and supply ventilation systems to achieve energy savings. However, this strategy may cause over-ventilation to maintain the pressure difference, increasing energy consumption. If the control strategy is not good, it will continue to operate at high energy consumption, reducing the overall energy efficiency of the system. The variable residual air volume tracking method maintains the clean room air leakage and pressure gradient through a data relationship model under variable air volume conditions. However, this method lacks direct monitoring of pressure fluctuations and cannot maintain pressure differential stability in time in the face of external disturbances such as door opening and equipment failure. The zoned air conditioning and independent control method is divided into zones according to function and pollution degree, and equipped with independent air conditioning and pressure difference control system. However, this greatly increases the complexity of system design, requires consideration of many factors, and increases the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance. The heat recovery system combines the variable air volume control method with a heat recovery device to recover the heat and cold of the exhaust air to pre-treat the fresh air. However, this method increases the complexity of the system and the initial cost, the control relies on multi-variable coordination, the dynamic response is slow, the maintenance is difficult, and the adaptability is limited in some specific scenarios.
[0005] Although the above method can achieve basic pressure difference stability, it still has core problems such as insufficient control accuracy, limited energy consumption optimization, high system complexity, weak dynamic response capability and poor adaptability. It is difficult to meet the stringent requirements of pressure difference stability and energy-saving efficiency in high-tech fields such as biomedicine and semiconductors. Summary of the invention

[0019] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and be able to implement it, but the specific embodiments cited do not limit the present invention.
[0020] Embodiment 1:
[0021] Referring to Figure 1 as shown, the present invention provides a clean room energy-saving pressure control method for a dynamic pipe network and model predictive control, including: S1: Obtain the current fan speed according to the current fan frequency, and then calculate the current wind pressure according to the current fan speed and the current air volume.
[0022] To achieve accurate monitoring of the fan operation status, in this embodiment, air volume and wind pressure sensors are installed at key parts of the air duct system, and at the same time, a functional relationship between the fan frequency and the fan speed is constructed through experiments: ; wherein, is the fan speed, is the fan frequency, is the functional relationship between the fan speed and the fan frequency.
[0023] According to the fan similarity law, the air volume of the fan at different speeds is proportional to the speed, and the wind pressure is proportional to the square of the speed. Calculate the current wind pressure according to the current fan speed and the current air volume, and the formula is: ; wherein, is the current wind pressure, is the rated wind pressure, and are the current fan speed and the rated fan speed respectively, and are the current air volume and the rated air volume respectively, , , and are fitting coefficients.
[0024] In practical applications, the speed of the fan in the initial stable operation state can be calculated through the corresponding relationship between the fan frequency and the speed. When the fan frequency changes, the speed corresponding to the new frequency . Then, according to the above formula, the corresponding wind pressure at different speeds can be accurately calculated.
[0025] S2: Obtain the pipe network impedance under different air volumes through numerical simulation, and construct a pipe network impedance curve; according to the pipe network impedance curve, obtain the current pipe network impedance from the current air volume; calculate the current valve impedance according to the valve opening; calculate the current total pressure drop of the pipe network according to the current valve impedance, the current pipe network impedance, and the air handling equipment impedance.
[0026] For the complex pipe network structure of the clean room, in the design stage, use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate and analyze the air flow in the pipe network. By inputting detailed parameters such as the pipe diameter, length, roughness, number and angle of elbows of the pipe network, combined with actual gas physical property data, and the performance parameters of the unique air handling equipment in the clean room (such as high-efficiency air filters, fan coil units, modular air handling units, etc.), the pressure distribution and flow rate in the pipe network under different working conditions are obtained through simulation. During the actual operation process, the working conditions of the clean room will change continuously, which poses challenges to the air flow stability in the pipe network. In order to achieve precise regulation of the air flow in the pipe network under different working conditions, it is necessary to understand the impedance characteristics of the pipe network, so it is very necessary to design a pipe network impedance curve. On this basis, in this embodiment, the pipe network impedance formula is defined as: ; where, represents the pressure drop caused by the pipe network, represents the pipe network impedance, represents the air volume.
[0027] Calculate a series of pipe network impedance values by simulating and outputting the corresponding wind pressure data at different flow rates. At the same time, establish a refined valve model. Through experimental tests, obtain the flow rate and pressure drop at different valve openings at different openings, and construct the relationship between the valve impedance and the valve opening, which can be approximately expressed as: ; where, represents the valve angle corresponding to the valve opening, represents the valve impedance, represents the valve flow area, represents the air density, 、 and represent fitting coefficients.
[0028] Calculate the current total pressure drop of the pipe network according to the current valve impedance, the current pipe network impedance, and the air handling equipment impedance. The formula is: ; where, represents the total pressure drop of the pipe network, represents the pipe network impedance, represents the valve impedance, Represents the impedance of the cleanroom air handling equipment, represents the air volume.
[0029] The above formula indicates that to ensure the minimization of the pipe network impedance, the valve opening is controlled above 85%, the overall resistance coefficient of the pipe network is minimized, and the total pressure drop of the pipe network is minimized. At this time, the actual working air volume and air pressure of the fan are reduced, thereby realizing the reduction of the fan frequency to save energy.
[0030] S3: Construct a fan dynamic model based on the fan similarity law for calculating the air volume at the next moment according to the current air volume, the current total pressure drop of the pipe network, and the current air pressure; among them, the air volume of the exhaust fan is the exhaust air volume, and the air volume of the supply fan is the supply air volume.
[0031] Based on the above fan similarity law (static relationship), the fan dynamic model is established as a first-order inertia, and the formula is expressed as: ; where, is the current air volume, is the air volume at the next moment, is the air volume response time constant, is the fan gain coefficient, is the fan frequency, is the functional relationship between the fan speed and the fan frequency, is the current air pressure, is the total pressure difference.
[0032] Total pressure difference , where is the cleanroom pressure, is the total pressure drop of the pipe network.
[0033] By experimentally measuring the air volume response time constant and the fan gain coefficient, with the input being the fan control signal (such as the frequency of the frequency converter) and the output being the fan air volume, it is driven by the square root term of the total pressure drop of the pipe network.
[0034] Furthermore, the pipe network model of the present invention adopts the static impedance distribution method, and the air volume of the branch with a valve is expressed as: ; where, represents the air volume of the i-th branch with a valve, represents the valve angle corresponding to the valve opening of the i-th branch with a valve, is the pipe network impedance of this branch, is the pressure drop caused by this branch of the pipe network.
[0035] The air volume of the branch without a valve is expressed as: ; where, represents the air volume of the j-th branch without a valve is the pipe network impedance of this branch is the pressure drop caused by the pipe network of this branch. Model the pipe network impedance of the branch without a valve as a fixed impedance without dynamic adjustment
[0036] The calculated air volume needs to satisfy the total pipe network flow balance, that is, the air volume output by the fan must be equal to the sum of the air volumes of all branches. The formula is expressed as: .
[0037] S4: Calculate the valve pressure drop according to the valve opening and the current valve impedance, and then calculate the valve output flow
[0038] Adjust the valve opening for the next time period using the valve dynamic model. The formula is expressed as: ; where is the current valve opening is the valve opening at the next moment is the valve opening control signal is the valve response time constant is the valve gain coefficient
[0039] Calculate the valve pressure drop according to the valve opening and the current valve impedance as: ; where is the valve pressure drop represents the valve impedance represents the air volume passing through the valve
[0040] The calculation formula for the valve output flow is: ; where is the current valve output flow is the valve output flow at the next moment is the valve flow response time constant is the valve flow gain coefficient is the current valve opening
[0041] S5: Build a dynamic model of the cleanroom pressure difference to calculate the cleanroom pressure difference at the next moment based on the current cleanroom pressure difference, the exhaust air volume and the supply air volume at the next moment
[0042] The formula for the dynamic model of the cleanroom pressure difference is: ; Among them, is the current differential pressure of the clean room, is the differential pressure of the clean room at the next moment, is the air capacitance constant of the clean room, and are the supply air volume and exhaust air volume of area e of the clean room respectively, is the leakage constant of the clean room.
[0043] S6: Construct a discretized state space model, where the fan frequency and valve opening are the control inputs, the exhaust air volume, supply air volume, and valve output flow are used as system state variables, and the differential pressure of the clean room is used as the output; construct the objective function of the model predictive controller with the goal of stabilizing the differential pressure of the clean room to minimize the differential pressure tracking error and the valve opening penalty term.
[0044] To achieve multi-variable dynamic cooperative control, this embodiment introduces a model predictive controller and constructs a state space model of a system including a fan, a pipe network, a valve, and the differential pressure of the clean room, which is expressed by the formula: ; ; Among them, is the system state vector at time k, is the derivative of the system state vector at time k + 1, is the control input vector at time k, is the output vector at time k, is the system matrix, is the input matrix, is the output matrix, is the direct transfer matrix.
[0045] Set the objective function of the model predictive controller for the valve opening of 85% and the goal of stabilizing the differential pressure to minimize the differential pressure tracking error and the valve opening penalty term, which is expressed by the formula: ; Among them, is the first objective function, is the second objective function, is the prediction horizon length, is the differential pressure of the clean room at time k, is the preset value of the differential pressure of the clean room, is the valve opening at time k, is the slack variable at time k, allowing short-term violation of the differential pressure constraint; is the soft constraint of the valve opening at time k, allowing the valve opening to be lower than 85% in the short term; and are the minimum and maximum values of the differential pressure of the clean room respectively, , , , and are all weighting coefficients.
[0046] Through theoretical derivation and experimental verification, the present invention proposes an operation criterion for minimizing the pipe network resistance when the valve opening degree ≥ 85%, breaking through the limitations of traditional fixed opening degree or single-variable regulation. The objective function can preferentially ensure the stability of the pressure difference, and at the same time limit the energy consumption through the valve opening degree penalty term, ensuring that the pressure difference fluctuation ≤ 0.5 Pa and it recovers within 2 seconds.
[0047] S7: Real-time monitor the pressure difference in the clean room. When the pressure difference in the clean room is unstable, use the dynamic model of the clean room pressure difference to predict the change trend of the clean room pressure difference in the next time period, and then use the model predictive controller to inversely solve the optimal valve opening degree of the discretized state space model to achieve the lowest pipe network impedance and obtain the optimal fan frequency; adjust the fan frequency and valve opening degree in the next time period with the optimal valve opening degree and fan frequency.
[0048] Preferably, the opening of the clean room door can be used as an event source, and a high-precision door magnetic sensor is installed on the clean room door frame. When the door is opened, the door magnetic sensor quickly captures the state change and sends a trigger signal to the control system to increase the fan frequency to the preset frequency. Use the dynamic model of the clean room pressure difference to predict the change trend of the clean room pressure difference in the next time period, and then inversely solve the optimal valve opening degree using the state space model to adjust the valve opening degree in the next time period. This can quickly supplement the air volume and reduce the pressure difference disturbance. When the clean room system door is closed, the door magnetic sensor sends a signal again, and the control system adjusts the fan frequency and valve opening degree according to the steps of S1-S7.
[0049] In summary, for the energy-saving pressure control method of the clean room with a dynamic pipe network and model predictive control described in the present invention, considering the pipe network impedance and valve impedance, the pipe network impedance curve is constructed to dynamically calculate the pipe network impedance, and the valve impedance is calculated based on the valve opening degree, and the total pressure drop of the pipe network can be calculated; then a fan dynamic model is constructed based on the fan similarity law, the air volume in the next time period is optimized according to the air volume and the total pressure drop of the pipe network, and the clean room pressure difference in the next time period is dynamically predicted according to the optimized air volume; finally, a state space model including the fan, pipe network, valve, and clean room pressure difference is constructed, and the model predictive controller is used to inversely solve the optimal valve opening degree of the discretized state space model to achieve the lowest pipe network impedance and obtain the optimal fan frequency. The state space model realizes multi-variable collaborative control by coupling multiple variables, breaking through the trade-off problem between pressure difference stability and energy consumption in the prior art. The present invention combines the pipe network impedance and valve opening degree for joint optimization, can make a dynamic response in advance according to the predicted clean room pressure difference, significantly improves the control accuracy and robustness of the clean room pressure difference, reduces energy consumption at the same time, and is applicable to high-requirement scenarios such as semiconductors.

The measured wind speed range of the sensors is 0 - 20 m / s, and the accuracy of calculating the air volume in combination with the pipe diameter is ±2%. Valve opening sensors, using magnetostrictive displacement sensors, are installed on the supply air valve and the exhaust air valve to feedback the opening state of the valves in real time. The control module can calculate the impedance of the valves according to the data of the valve opening sensors and conduct comprehensive analysis in combination with the pipe network impedance model. The sensors detect the valve opening range of 0 - 100%, and the response time is <50 ms.
[0054] Preferably, the sensor module further includes a door magnetic sensor installed on the door frame of the clean room to detect the opening and closing state of the door, with the highest trigger priority.
[0055] The control module includes: A pipe network impedance calculation sub-module is used to input pipe network parameters (pipe diameter, roughness, number of elbows, etc.) and output the pipe network impedance curve at different flow rates. A valve model library is used to store the opening-impedance relationships (such as Kv value tables) of different valve types (butterfly valve, ball valve). A real-time impedance calculation module is used to dynamically update the total pipe network impedance according to the current valve opening and air volume. A model predictive controller, as the core control unit of the system, constructs a state space model according to the data collected by the sensor module. The fan frequency and valve opening are used as control inputs, the supply air volume, exhaust air volume, etc. are used as system state variables, and the differential pressure of the clean room is used as the system output. The model predictive controller sets an objective function, which includes a differential pressure tracking error and a valve opening penalty term. By minimizing the objective function, while ensuring the stability of the differential pressure in the clean room, the valve opening is optimized, the pipe network resistance is reduced, and energy-saving operation is achieved. In each control cycle, the model predictive controller predicts the future state of the system and solves the optimization problem according to the prediction results to dynamically adjust the fan frequency and valve opening.
[0056] The execution module includes: The fan is a variable-frequency fan that adjusts its rotational speed according to the frequency signal output by the control module, thereby changing the air supply volume. The performance parameters of the fan are obtained by experimentally fitting the relationship between frequency and rotational speed and dynamically calculated in combination with the fan similarity law. The variable-frequency fan drives the output of a 0 - 50 Hz frequency signal with a frequency adjustment accuracy of ±0.1 Hz. The valves include an air supply valve and an exhaust valve, which adjust their opening degrees according to the instructions of the control module. A quantitative relationship is established between the opening degree of the valve and the impedance. By adjusting the opening degree of the valve in real time, the pipe network impedance is optimized. The electric valve control outputs a 4 - 20 mA signal with an opening degree resolution of 0.1%.
[0057] Each module of the clean room energy-saving pressure control system with a dynamic pipe network and model predictive control works in coordination to achieve precise control of the pressure difference in the clean room and energy-saving operation.
[0058] The specific working process of the clean room energy-saving pressure control system with a dynamic pipe network and model predictive control provided by the present invention is as follows: Step 1: Initialization.
[0059] After the system is started, initialization operations are performed, including loading pipe network parameters, sensor calibration, initial parameter setting, etc. Among them, the initial control parameter sets the fan frequency to 30 Hz and the valve opening degree to 90%.
[0060] After initialization is completed, it enters the main loop. The process of the main loop refers to Figure 2 as shown, which includes model predictive controller prediction and optimization, multi-mode selection and instruction execution, disturbance response detection and logging, and at the same time, adding disturbance detection to the main loop to emphasize its control priority. Figure 3 It is the operation flow chart of the clean room energy-saving pressure control system with a dynamic pipe network and model predictive control in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0061] Step 2: Data acquisition.
[0062] The sensor module real-time collects data such as the pressure difference, air supply volume, exhaust air volume, and valve opening degree in the clean room, and conducts data validity verification on the collected data.
[0063] When the data is invalid, such as data with large fluctuations compared with the previous moment, the abnormal data is marked and ignored.
[0064] When the data is valid, data filtering is performed to reduce the influence of noise on the data, and this data is used for real-time pipe network impedance calculation, and then working condition identification is carried out. The working condition identification mainly relies on the dynamic data of the pipe network, and then the identified working condition mode is transmitted to the control module so that it can perform different optimization calculations according to the working condition.
[0065] Step 3: Working condition identification.
[0066] The system adopts an adaptive control strategy. Based on factors such as the personnel activities and equipment operation status in the clean room, it automatically identifies different operating condition modes according to the personnel density and equipment load, such as normal mode, intensive mode, high-load mode, etc.
[0067] Preferably, an infrared sensor is used to identify the personnel density, and current monitoring is used to identify the equipment load.
[0068] The normal mode aims to optimize energy consumption. On the basis of stabilizing the differential pressure in the clean room, the objective function is optimized, and the output low fan frequency and valve opening are limited to about 85% to optimize energy consumption. The intensive mode mainly targets scenarios with frequent personnel activities (such as peak production periods, experimental operation periods). At this time, the control module will reduce the priority of optimizing energy consumption, give priority to ensuring the differential pressure stability, increase the fan frequency, and allow the valve opening to be lower than 85% for a short time to optimize the overall air flow distribution. The load mode mainly targets changes in equipment operation compliance, such as the increase in pipeline impedance caused by filter blockage in air handling equipment or differential pressure disturbances caused by detecting events such as door opening. The system will switch to the load mode. At this time, the control module will no longer consider optimizing energy consumption. The only control purpose is to control the differential pressure in the clean room. The control strategy includes outputting the rated fan frequency + dynamic adjustment of the valve opening, no longer taking the valve opening as a constraint condition, and giving priority to adjusting the differential pressure in the clean room.
[0069] The intensive mode is the response mode under the condition that the clean room door is opened. When the door magnetic sensor detects a door opening event, the operating condition mode is identified as the load mode for control calculation, that is, the fan frequency is set to 50Hz, and the valve opening is dynamically optimized; when the door is closed, it returns to the normal mode, and the control module is used to optimize both the fan frequency and the valve opening at the same time to continue the main loop.
[0070] Through the adaptive control strategy, the system can automatically adjust the control parameters and strategies for different operating condition modes. For example, in the intensive personnel mode, the fan frequency is appropriately increased and the valve opening is enlarged to ensure sufficient ventilation volume and differential pressure stability. When the equipment is at low load and there are few personnel, the fan frequency is reduced and the valve opening is decreased to achieve energy-saving operation.
[0071] Step Four: Model calculation and optimization.
[0072] Refer to Figure 4 As shown, the control module constructs a state space model based on the collected data, calculates the current system state and future predicted state; at the same time, it conducts constraint condition checks. Different constraint conditions characterized by different operating condition modes will enable the control module to determine the optimal fan frequency and valve opening according to different constraint conditions. For example, for the quadratic programming problem solved in the normal mode, the control input with the minimum energy consumption while obtaining a stable differential pressure is obtained.
[0073] Step Five: Control Instruction Output: The control module sends the calculated fan frequency and valve opening instructions to the execution module.
[0074] Step Six: Execution of Regulation: The fan adjusts its speed according to the frequency instruction, and the valve adjusts its opening according to the opening instruction to achieve precise control of the differential pressure in the clean room.
[0075] Step Seven: Loop Monitoring and Adjustment: The system continuously loops through steps such as data acquisition, model calculation, control instruction output, and execution of regulation, and monitors and adjusts the differential pressure and energy consumption in the clean room in real time to ensure that the system is always in an optimal operating state.
[0076] In this embodiment, through dynamic pipe network impedance modeling and real-time control technology, the problem that the traditional method cannot actively optimize the system resistance is solved, achieving a 20%-30% reduction in pipe network resistance and a 15%-25% reduction in fan energy consumption; adopting a multi-variable cooperative control structure driven by a model predictive controller can improve the differential pressure control accuracy to ±0.5 Pa, and shorten the disturbance recovery time to within 2 seconds; an optimization algorithm based on the fan similarity law synchronously optimizes the fan frequency and valve opening, increasing the fan operation efficiency by 40%; a multi-mode intelligent switching mechanism realizes fine energy consumption optimization, with energy savings of 15%-20% in typical scenarios; an event-driven compensation mechanism shortens the differential pressure recovery time after the door is opened to within 2 seconds; a modular distributed architecture improves the system reliability and scalability. These innovations jointly break through the trade-off problem between differential pressure stability and energy consumption, forming a self-consistent intelligent control system, and significantly improving the energy efficiency ratio and robustness of differential pressure control in the clean room.

The pressure sensor 12 of the return air clean room can be assembled at any position in the return air clean room 29, but it is recommended to be at least two air outlet diameters away from the ventilation opening and the exhaust opening to ensure that the collected clean room pressure data is less polluted.
[0081] The exhaust air clean room 31 controls the differential pressure with an exhaust air strategy.

[0084] The control module monitors the air volume and air pressure in the main pipeline according to the data of the air supply section air velocity sensor 4 and the air supply section pressure sensor 5, and detects the air volume and air pressure in the exhaust pipeline according to the data of the exhaust air section air velocity sensor 17 and the exhaust air section pressure sensor 18.

Obtains the differential pressure of the return air clean room according to the pressure sensor 12 in the return air clean room, and then uses the clean room differential pressure dynamic model to predict the differential pressure change of the return air clean room in the next time period based on the differential pressure of the return air clean room, the return air volume and the supply air volume of the return air clean room at the next moment. Using the state space model, optimize the valve opening degrees of the return air valve 27 and the supply air valve 28 in the return air clean room based on the differential pressure change of the return air clean room in the next time period, the return air volume and the supply air volume of the return air clean room, so as to adjust the return air volume and the supply air volume.

[0087] When the differential pressure of the return air purification chamber or the exhaust purification chamber becomes unstable due to the occurrence of the door opening and closing event, the fan frequencies of the air supply fan 26 and the exhaust fan 33 will be increased to the preset frequency; after the differential pressure is stable, the state space model is used to optimize the fan frequencies of the air supply fan 26 and the exhaust fan 33, as well as the opening degrees of the fresh air valve 24, the air supply valve 28 of the return air purification chamber, the air supply valve 30 of the exhaust purification chamber, and the exhaust valve 32 of the exhaust purification chamber.
