Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat dissipation equipment, and in particular to a heat pump unit operation control method and related devices. Background Art

[0002] When the existing heat pump unit operates in refrigeration mode, the fan variable frequency control method usually adopts control based on ambient temperature or working condition parameters and PID closed-loop control. The control method based on ambient temperature or working condition parameters generally adjusts the fan speed according to the changes of working condition parameters such as outdoor ambient temperature, evaporator or condenser temperature. Although this method can adapt to load changes within a certain range, its response speed is slow, the control accuracy is low, and it is easy to cause unstable system operation. The PID closed-loop control method adjusts the fan frequency by setting the target temperature or pressure value and using the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm to make the system parameters approach the target value.

[0055] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] The present application discloses a method for controlling the operation of a heat pump unit. This method adjusts the fan speed based on the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value of the heat pump unit under different ambient temperatures, so that the operation of the heat pump unit is in an efficient and energy-saving working state. Compared with the traditional control methods based on ambient temperature or working condition parameters and PID closed-loop control, this method has a fast response speed, high control accuracy, and can achieve precise temperature control under complex working conditions, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the unit.

[0057] See Figure 1 , the present application discloses a method for controlling the operation of a heat pump unit, and this method may include:

[0058] Step S101: When the heat pump unit starts and operates in the refrigeration mode, obtain the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature of the heat pump unit;

[0059] The ambient temperature directly affects the performance of the evaporator of the heat pump unit (the evaporator absorbs heat from the air in the refrigeration mode). If the ambient temperature is too high or too low, it may cause the refrigeration capacity of the unit to decrease or the energy consumption to increase. The inlet water temperature reflects the temperature of the coolant (such as water) entering the condenser in the pump unit, and directly affects the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser. Too high inlet water temperature may cause the condensation pressure to rise, affecting the system stability.

[0060] Generally, a platinum resistance temperature sensor (PT100 / PT1000) or an NTC thermistor is used to obtain the ambient temperature of the heat pump unit. The platinum resistance temperature sensor / NTC thermistor is installed outside the heat pump unit (away from the heat source and avoiding direct sunlight). Generally, a platinum resistance temperature sensor (PT100 / NTC) is used to collect the inlet water temperature. This sensor is installed in the inlet pipe of the condenser, and it is necessary to ensure that there is a sufficient length of straight pipe section in front of the sensor (to avoid the influence of eddy current on the accuracy). If it is a multi-loop system, sensors need to be installed at the inlet of each loop respectively.

[0061] Step S102: Identify the initial fan speed based on the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature.

[0062] In this embodiment, multiple gears are set for the fan of the heat pump unit. Under different gears, the rotation speed of the fan is different. Different fan rotation speeds will result in different heat dissipation efficiencies of the heat pump unit. As shown in Table 1, the fan has n gears, and the higher the gear, the higher the rotation speed of the fan.

[0063]

[0064] Table 1 Fan gears at different rotation speeds

[0065] In this embodiment, under different ambient temperatures and different inlet water temperatures, when the heat pump unit starts and operates in the refrigeration mode, the required heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pump unit is different. As shown in Table 2, the higher the ambient temperature and the higher the inlet water temperature, the higher the required heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pump unit. Therefore, the initial gear of the fan is higher.

[0066]

[0067] Table 2

[0068] Step S103: Start the fan of the heat pump unit based on the initial gear of the fan.

[0069] After determining the initial gear of the fan, start the fan based on the initial gear of the fan and maintain it for a preset duration to ensure the reliable start of the heat pump unit. Among them, the specific value of the preset duration can be selected according to the design requirements. For example, in this embodiment, the preset duration can be 10 s, that is, after the heat pump unit starts, control the fan of the heat pump unit to operate at the initial gear of the fan for 10 s, and then execute step S105 and subsequent steps.

[0070] Step S104: Determine whether the start duration of the heat pump unit in the refrigeration mode reaches the preset duration.

[0071] In this step, the working duration after the heat pump unit starts in the refrigeration mode is detected. After its start for the preset duration, execute the subsequent steps. Among them, the working duration after the heat pump unit starts in the refrigeration mode can be equivalent to the running duration of the fan operating at the initial gear of the fan. When the preset duration is reached, execute the subsequent steps.

[0072] Step S105: Obtain the target coil temperature value of the heat exchanger corresponding to the ambient temperature, where the higher the ambient temperature, the higher the target coil temperature value.

[0073] The target coil temperature is an ideal operating parameter calculated by the heat pump unit based on the current ambient temperature and user requirements (such as heating / cooling). For example, in the heating mode, if the ambient temperature is 5°C, the unit may set the target coil temperature to 35°C to achieve efficient heat exchange; in the cooling mode, when the ambient temperature is 30°C, the target coil temperature may be set to 10°C to maintain a low indoor temperature. Therefore, in this step, after detecting that the heat pump unit has been running in the cooling mode for a preset duration, it is necessary to determine the target coil temperature value of the heat exchanger based on the ambient temperature. Different ambient temperatures correspond to different target coil temperatures. In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the relationship between the ambient temperature and the target coil temperature can be seen in Table 3 below.

[0074]

[0075] Table 3

[0076] Among them, Ta in Table 3 is the ambient temperature.

[0077] Step S106: Calculate the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value, denoted as the coil temperature difference.

[0078] In this step, it is necessary to adjust the operating state of the fan based on the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value. In this solution, the difference between the two is denoted as the coil temperature difference.

[0079] Step S107: Identify the target temperature range corresponding to the coil temperature difference.

[0080] In this embodiment, the coil temperature difference is pre-divided into multiple temperature ranges, and these temperature ranges are continuously distributed within the full temperature range. After determining the coil temperature difference, obtain the target temperature range corresponding to the coil temperature difference.

[0081] Step S108: Obtain the target speed adjustment method matching the target temperature range, and adjust the speed of the fan based on the target speed adjustment method. Among them, when the target coil temperature is lower than the actual coil temperature, the greater the difference between the two, the higher the fan speed gear.

[0082] The present application provides a method for controlling the operation of a heat pump unit. This solution configures the initial gear of the fan when the heat pump unit starts refrigeration operation based on different ambient temperatures and inlet water temperatures, then determines the target coil temperature value based on the ambient temperature, and finally determines the target speed adjustment method based on the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value, and adjusts the speed of the fan based on the target speed adjustment method. This solution adjusts the gear of the fan based on the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value under different ambient temperatures, so that the operation of the heat pump unit is in an efficient and energy-saving working state. This fan control method has a fast response speed and high control accuracy compared with the traditional control method, and there will be no overshoot or oscillation problems under complex working conditions, and the system runs stably. At the same time, this method has strong practicability. The system can quickly respond to temperature changes and load fluctuations, reduce oscillation and instability phenomena, and enhance the reliability and application range of the system.

[0083] In this embodiment, the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value is divided into five temperature intervals, which are respectively denoted as the first temperature interval, the second temperature interval, the third temperature interval, the fourth temperature interval and the fifth temperature interval. The first temperature interval, the second temperature interval, the third temperature interval, the fourth temperature interval and the fifth temperature interval form a continuous full temperature interval. Different temperature intervals correspond to different fan speed adjustment strategies. At this time, refer to Figure 2 , obtaining the target speed adjustment method matching the target temperature interval, and adjusting the speed of the fan based on the target speed adjustment method includes:

[0084] Step S201: When the target temperature interval is the first temperature interval, control the speed of the fan to switch to the highest gear.

[0085] The first temperature interval is the temperature interval where the target coil temperature value is less than the actual coil temperature value and the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value is the largest. At this time, since the actual coil temperature value is much greater than the target coil temperature value, the heat pump unit needs to have extremely strong heat dissipation ability at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to control the speed of the fan to switch to the highest gear so that the fan can output the maximum power allowed.

[0086] Step S202: When the target temperature interval is the second temperature interval, control the fan to increase one gear every preset time period, and the minimum value of the second temperature interval is greater than the maximum value of the first temperature interval.

[0087] The second temperature range is the temperature range where the target coil temperature value is less than the actual coil temperature value, and the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value is relatively small. The minimum value of the second temperature range is greater than the maximum value of the first temperature range. At this time, since the actual coil temperature value is greater than the target coil temperature value but the difference between them is small, it is necessary to appropriately increase the heat dissipation capacity of the heat pump unit. Also, it is necessary to prevent the fan speed from being too high. Therefore, the fan speed needs to be increased by one level every preset time interval until the target temperature range switches to the third temperature range or the first temperature range.

[0088] Step S203: When the target temperature range is the third temperature range, control the fan speed to remain unchanged. The minimum value of the third temperature range is greater than the maximum value of the second temperature range.

[0089] In this embodiment, the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value is relatively small and remains within a stable temperature difference range. At this time, it is sufficient to keep the fan running at the current speed state without increasing or decreasing the fan speed.

[0090] Step S204: When the target temperature range is the fourth temperature range, control the fan to decrease by one level every preset time interval until it reaches the lowest level. The minimum value of the fourth temperature range is greater than the maximum value of the third temperature range.

[0091] The fourth temperature range is the temperature range where the target coil temperature value is greater than the actual coil temperature value, and the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value is relatively small. The minimum value of the fourth temperature range is greater than the maximum value of the third temperature range. At this time, since the actual coil temperature value is less than the target coil temperature value but the difference between them is small, it is necessary to appropriately decrease the heat dissipation capacity of the heat pump unit. Also, it is necessary to prevent the fan speed from being too low. Therefore, the fan speed needs to be decreased by one level every preset time interval until the target temperature range switches to the fifth temperature range or the third temperature range.

[0092] Step S205: When the target temperature range is the fifth temperature range, control the fan speed to remain at the lowest level. The minimum value of the fifth temperature range is greater than the maximum value of the fourth temperature range.

[0093] The fifth temperature range is the temperature range where the target coil temperature value is greater than the actual coil temperature value, and the difference between the target coil temperature value and the actual coil temperature value is relatively large. At this time, since the actual coil temperature value is much less than the target coil temperature value, it is only necessary for the heat pump unit to have a low heat dissipation capacity to maintain the normal operation of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to control the fan speed to switch to the lowest level.

[0094] In this embodiment, the maximum value of the first temperature range is X1, where X1 < 0, that is, the first temperature range is an open interval with the maximum value of X1. The maximum value of the second temperature range is X2, where X1 < X2 < 0. The maximum value of the third temperature range is X3, where X2 < X3. The maximum value of the fourth temperature range is X4, where X3 < X4. At this time, the fifth temperature range is an open interval with the minimum value greater than X4. This embodiment also provides specific values of X1, X2, X3, and X4. For example, the value of X1 is not greater than -12°C, the value of X2 is not greater than -2°C, the value of X3 is not greater than 3°C, and the value of X4 is not greater than 8°C. As Figure 3 shown, X1 = -12°C, X2 = -2°C, X3 = 3°C, and X4 = 8°C.

[0095] In this embodiment, when the ambient temperature is different, at the same fan speed, the change speed of the coil temperature is different. Therefore, at different ambient temperatures, the speed of adjusting the fan speed gear is also different. Therefore, when "controlling the fan to increase one gear every preset duration" / "controlling the fan to decrease one gear every preset duration", the values of the preset durations configured for different ambient temperatures are different. Therefore, before adjusting the speed of the fan based on the target speed adjustment method, it further includes: obtaining a preset duration that matches the ambient temperature. For example, in this embodiment, when the ambient temperature is not less than 5°C, the preset duration can be set to 20 seconds, that is, controlling the fan to increase one gear every 20 seconds" / "controlling the fan to decrease one gear every 20 seconds. When the ambient temperature is less than 5°C, the preset duration can be set to 30 seconds, that is, controlling the fan to increase one gear every 30 seconds" / "controlling the fan to decrease one gear every 30 seconds.

[0096] When the heat pump unit operates in the refrigeration mode, the maximum and minimum heat dissipation efficiencies required by the heat pump unit are different when the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature are different. For example, when the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature are high, a higher heat dissipation efficiency is required for the heat pump unit. At this time, the fan needs to operate at a higher gear. When the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature are low, a lower heat dissipation efficiency is required for the heat pump unit. At this time, the fan needs to operate at a lower gear. Therefore, in this embodiment, during the refrigeration operation of the heat pump unit, the lowest and highest gears of the fan during the variable-frequency operation of the fan are divided into different values according to the differences in the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature of the heat pump unit. In this embodiment, the gear limits of the fan vary depending on the differences in the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature of the heat pump unit, that is, all changes in the fan speed need to operate within the range defined by the fan gear limit table. Compared with the traditional control methods based on ambient temperature or operating condition parameters and PID closed-loop control, this method has a fast response speed, high control accuracy, and can achieve precise temperature control under complex working conditions, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the unit. As shown in Table 4. During the operation of the fan, the gear of the fan always remains between the lowest and highest gears and does not cross the specified limits in the table.
