Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of methods for calculating the most disadvantageous end of an air-conditioning pipeline, and in particular to a method for calculating the most disadvantageous end of an air-conditioning pipeline. Background Art

[0002] The most unfavorable end of the air-conditioning duct is the end where the cooling or heating effect of the air-conditioning duct is the worst in traditional terms. For decades, traditional research on duct resistance has mostly been based on the premise of fully developed flow. However, in the field of ventilation and air-conditioning ducts, the resistance changes caused by non-fully developed flow are significant. In the traditional research of predecessors, due to the need to simplify the research, it is often assumed that the distance between the local fittings of the pipeline is "far enough", so far that the flow fields in the fittings do not interfere with each other, that is, it is assumed that the inlet of the local fittings is "fully developed flow". We can temporarily call the local fittings at this time "single local fittings" (also known as local fittings under "non-coupling conditions" and "non-composite conditions"). Under this condition, the flow field changes inside the local fittings and the resistance problems caused by them are only affected by the deformation of the local fittings themselves; and the flow state in the straight pipe section is fully developed flow. However, in the field of construction, the actual distance between the local fittings is "close enough", so close that the flow fields between adjacent local fittings affect each other, that is, the boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet of the pipeline are "non-fully developed flow";

[0003] Due to the dynamic nature of central air-conditioning water systems, both designers and integrated controllers are striving to accurately determine the location of the most unfavorable pressure point during central air-conditioning design and system integration control. In order to ensure the normal operation of the terminal with the largest demand pressure difference under rated flow, a series of methods have been developed, such as fuzzy control, adaptive control, and adding pressure sensors to each floor. These methods have solved the problem of automatic adaptation of the computer room under constant changes in terminal demand to a certain extent, but the above technologies have not achieved truly precise control.

[0004] In real projects, due to the limitations of building structures, adjacent influences are actually ubiquitous in the construction field. However, at present, there is still a lack of resistance calculation methods for non-fully developed flows. Therefore, a method for calculating the most unfavorable end of air-conditioning pipes is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for calculating the most unfavorable end of an air-conditioning duct, which has the advantages of being easy to calculate the most unfavorable end of an air-conditioning duct, and solves the problem that a method for calculating resistance under non-fully developed flow is still missing at this stage.

[0007] (II) Technical solution

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problem is as follows: A method for calculating the most unfavorable end of an air conditioning pipeline comprises the following steps:

[0015] Step S6, using the resistance calculation model to obtain the resistance value of each pipeline, and obtaining the resistance value of each pipeline itself according to the pressure drop method;

[0016] The pressure drop method is to obtain the pressure values ​​on the inlet and outlet surfaces of the local component through the results of the software Fluent simulation, and then make the difference to get the pressure drop;

[0017] Step S7: construct a pipeline temperature difference model by combining the difference between the average temperature difference and the temperature information of each pipeline and the resistance value of each pipeline itself, so as to obtain the most unfavorable end of the air-conditioning pipeline.
