[0033] Embodiment 1
[0034] See Figure 1 , which shows a flowchart of a method for controlling an auxiliary valve of a heat pump provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This method can be executed by a control device for the auxiliary valve of the heat pump. The control device for the auxiliary valve of the heat pump can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and the control device for the auxiliary valve of the heat pump can be configured in an electronic device. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:
[0035] Step 101, set a target exhaust superheat degree for the heat pump.
[0036] In this embodiment, operating parameters such as the ambient temperature of the heat pump and the outlet water temperature of the heat pump can be queried, and based on these operating parameters, the exhaust superheat degree as the adjustment target is set for the heat pump according to the thermodynamic principle and the relevant configuration parameters in the heat pump, denoted as the target exhaust superheat degree TESH.
[0037] For example, when the ambient temperature is low, the evaporation temperature of the heat pump will also decrease accordingly. To prevent the evaporator from frosting and ensure the safe operation of the compressor, the target exhaust superheat degree TESH is appropriately increased. When the ambient temperature is high, the evaporation temperature is relatively high, and the evaporation speed of the refrigerant is accelerated. At this time, the target exhaust superheat degree TESH can be appropriately reduced.
[0038] For another example, when the outlet water temperature is low, it means that the refrigeration capacity demand of the heat pump is large, and the evaporation pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator is low. To ensure the heat exchange effect of the evaporator and the stability of the system, the target exhaust superheat TESH is increased to allow the refrigerant to fully evaporate in the evaporator. When the outlet water temperature is high, the heat output demand of the heat pump is small, and the evaporation pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator is relatively high. At this time, the target exhaust superheat TESH can be appropriately reduced to improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump.
[0039] Step 102: Collect the actual exhaust superheat of the heat pump during multiple exhaust cycles.
[0040] In this embodiment, multiple cycles for collecting the exhaust superheat of the heat pump can be set on the time axis, denoted as the exhaust cycle TE. During multiple exhaust cycles, the operating parameters of the compressor of the heat pump (such as the exhaust temperature of the compressor, the exhaust pressure of the compressor, etc.) can be collected in real time, and the exhaust superheat of the heat pump is calculated based on these operating parameters of the compressor, denoted as the actual exhaust superheat CESH.
[0041] Step 103: Calculate the difference between the target exhaust superheat and the actual exhaust superheat to obtain the actual exhaust superheat deviation.
[0042] In this embodiment, the target exhaust superheat TESH can be subtracted from the actual exhaust superheat CESH to obtain the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, EDSH = TESH - CESH. The actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH represents the degree to which the target exhaust superheat TESH deviates from the actual exhaust superheat CESH.
[0043] Step 104: Calculate the unit exhaust superheat change rate per unit time of the heat pump during the exhaust cycle based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation.
[0044] In this embodiment, the actual exhaust superheat deviations EDSH of each exhaust cycle TE can be arranged in chronological order to obtain a time series. Statistical analysis is performed on the actual exhaust superheat deviations EDSH within the time series to obtain the exhaust superheat that changes per unit time during the exhaust cycle of the heat pump, which is used as the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH.
[0045] In a specific implementation, the actual exhaust superheats CESH of two adjacent exhaust cycles TE are extracted from the time series. The actual exhaust superheat CESH in the current exhaust cycle is subtracted from the actual exhaust superheat CESH' in the previous exhaust cycle to obtain the exhaust superheat change rate RCESH. The ratio of the exhaust superheat change rate RCESH to the exhaust cycle TE is calculated as the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, that is, PSRCESH = RCESH / TE = (CESH - CESH') / TE.
[0046] Step 105: Adjust the valve adjustment cycle and proportional parameter of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation, target exhaust superheat, and unit exhaust superheat change rate under the condition of predicting the future exhaust superheat of the heat pump.
[0047] In this embodiment, the future exhaust superheat of the heat pump can be predicted based on the real-time operation data of the heat pump (i.e., the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, target exhaust superheat TESH, and unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH). Under this condition, adjust the valve adjustment cycle T and proportional parameter P (i.e., the P value in PID) of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump, intervene in the adjustment control in advance, and continuously adjust during the process of controlling the heat pump, so that the exhaust superheat of the heat pump quickly reaches the set state.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, step 105 may include the following steps:
[0049] Step 1051: Calculate the estimated exhaust superheat of the heat pump after multiple valve adjustment cycles T in the future according to the unit exhaust superheat change rate.
[0050] In this embodiment, the exhaust superheat of the heat pump after multiple valve adjustment cycles T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve in the future can be calculated according to the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, denoted as the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH.
[0051] Among them, the valve adjustment cycle T is the cycle for adjusting the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump. During the process of controlling the heat pump, the valve adjustment cycle T is an adjustable parameter.
[0052] In the initial period (such as the first n times of predicting the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump, n is a positive integer), the valve adjustment cycle T is the default empirical value.
[0053] In the non-initial period, the current valve adjustment cycle T is used to predict the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump.
[0054] In specific implementation, the current valve adjustment cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried, and the product of the current valve adjustment cycle T, unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, and the preset number of cycles m (such as 2) is added to the current actual exhaust superheat CESH to obtain the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump after multiple valve adjustment cycles T in the future, that is, EstESH = T × PSRCESH × m + CESH.
[0055] Step 1052: Take the absolute value of the difference between the estimated exhaust superheat and the target exhaust superheat to obtain the estimated exhaust superheat deviation.
[0056] In this embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH and the target exhaust superheat TESH can be taken to obtain the estimated exhaust superheat deviation, that is, estimated exhaust superheat deviation = ABS(EstESH - TESH), where ABS is the function for taking the absolute value, such that the estimated exhaust superheat deviation represents the degree to which the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump deviates from the target exhaust superheat TESH after multiple valve adjustment cycles T in the future.
[0057] Step 1053: If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is less than or equal to the preset steady-state value, adjust the valve adjustment cycle of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the upper limit value, and adjust the proportional parameter of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the lower limit value.
[0058] [[ID=⑥]]If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is less than or equal to the preset steady-state value D2, it means that the degree to which the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump deviates from the target exhaust superheat TESH after multiple valve adjustment cycles T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve in the future is small, and the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump fluctuates around the target exhaust superheat TESH after multiple valve adjustment cycles T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve in the future. At this time, adjust the valve adjustment cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the upper limit value T3 within its adjustable range, and adjust the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the lower limit value P3 within its adjustable range, so as to maintain the control state of the heat pump.
[0059] Step 1054: If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is greater than the preset steady-state value, adjust the valve adjustment cycle of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within the range below the upper limit value according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation, the target exhaust superheat, and the unit exhaust superheat change rate.
[0060] If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is greater than the preset steady-state value D2, it means that the degree to which the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump deviates from the target exhaust superheat TESH after multiple valve adjustment cycles T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve in the future is large. At this time, the valve adjustment cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be adjusted within the range below the upper limit value according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the target exhaust superheat TESH, and the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, that is, the adjusted valve adjustment cycle T is less than the upper limit value T3.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, step 1054 may further include the following steps:
[0062] Step 10541: Set the target exhaust temperature change rate for the heat pump according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation.
[0063] In this embodiment, methods such as look-up table and function operation can be used to set the change rate of the exhaust gas temperature as the adjustment target for the heat pump according to the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH, which is denoted as the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH.
[0064] Among them, the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH is negatively correlated with the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH, that is, the larger the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH, the smaller the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH; conversely, the smaller the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH, the larger the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH.
[0065] In specific implementation, on the one hand, the first superheat change deviation threshold and the second superheat change deviation threshold for setting the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH and applicable to adjusting the valve opening period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried.
[0066] Among them, the first superheat change deviation threshold is less than the second superheat change deviation threshold.
[0067] The first superheat change deviation threshold and its opposite number, the second superheat change deviation threshold and its opposite number can divide into 5 segments.
[0068] On the other hand, the first change rate TPSRCESH0, the second change rate TPSRCESH1 and the third change rate TPSRCESH2 set for the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump can be queried.
[0069] Among them, the first change rate TPSRCESH0 is less than the second change rate TPSRCESH1, and the second change rate TPSRCESH1 is less than the third change rate TPSRCESH2.
[0070] If the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH is less than the opposite number of the second superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the third change rate TPSRCESH2, that is, TPSRCESH = TPSRCESH2.
[0071] If the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the opposite number of the second superheat change deviation threshold and less than the opposite number of the first superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust gas temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the second change rate TPSRCESH1, that is, TPSRCESH = TPSRCESH1.
[0072] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the negative of the first superheat change deviation threshold and less than the first superheat change deviation threshold, then set the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump to the first change rate TPSRCESH0, i.e., TPSRCESH = TPSRCESH0.
[0073] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the first superheat change deviation threshold and less than or equal to the second superheat change deviation threshold, then set the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump to the negative of the second change rate TPSRCESH1, i.e., TPSRCESH = -TPSRCESH1.
[0074] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than the second superheat change deviation threshold, then set the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump to the negative of the third change rate TPSRCESH2, i.e., TPSRCESH = -TPSRCESH2.
[0075] Of course, the above method of setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is only an example. When implementing this embodiment, other methods of setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump can be set according to actual situations. For example, multiple thresholds for setting the adjustment valve cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump for the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH can be set to divide more segments, and more values can be set for the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump to map to more segments, etc. This embodiment does not limit this. In addition, in addition to the above method of setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump, those skilled in the art can also adopt other methods of setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump according to actual needs, and this embodiment also does not limit this.
[0076] Step 10542: Query the first cycle value, the second cycle value, and the third cycle value of the adjustment valve cycle setting of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within the range below the upper limit value.
[0077] Query the first cycle value T0, the second cycle value T1, and the third cycle value T2 of the adjustment valve cycle T setting of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within the range below the upper limit value.
[0078] Among them, the first cycle value T0 is less than the second cycle value T1, the second cycle value T1 is less than the third cycle value T2, and the third cycle value T2 is less than the upper limit value T3.
[0079] Step 10543: Take the absolute value of the difference between the unit exhaust superheat change rate and the target exhaust temperature change rate to obtain the superheat change rate deviation.
[0080] In this embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH and the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH can be taken to obtain the superheat change rate deviation, so that the superheat change rate deviation represents the degree to which the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH deviates from the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH.
[0081] Step 10544: If the superheat change rate deviation is less than or equal to the preset change deviation, adjust the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the first period value.
[0082] If the superheat change rate deviation is less than or equal to the preset change deviation D1 (i.e., ABS(PSRCESH - TPSRCESH) < D1, where ABS is the absolute value function), it means that the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH fluctuates around the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH and the magnitude of the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is appropriate. Then, adjust the valve adjustment period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the first period value T0, that is, T = T0.
[0083] Step 10545: If the unit exhaust superheat change rate is less than the difference between the target exhaust temperature change rate and the preset change deviation, adjust the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the second period value.
[0084] If the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is less than the difference between the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH and the preset change deviation D1 (i.e., PSRCESH < TPSRCESH - D1), it means that the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is too small. Then, adjust the valve adjustment period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the second period value T1, that is, T = T1.
[0085] Step 10546: If the unit exhaust superheat change rate is greater than the sum value of the target exhaust temperature change rate and the preset change deviation, adjust the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the third period value.
[0086] If the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is greater than the sum value of the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH and the preset change deviation D1 (i.e., PSRCESH > TPSRCESH + D1), it means that the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is too large. Then, adjust the valve adjustment period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the third period value T2, that is, T = T2.
[0087] Of course, the above method of adjusting the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is only an example. When implementing this embodiment, other methods of adjusting the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be set according to actual situations. For example, using the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH, and the change deviation D1 to set more segments, and setting more values for the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to map to more segments, etc. This embodiment does not limit this. In addition, in addition to the above method of adjusting the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump, those skilled in the art can also adopt other methods of adjusting the valve adjustment period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this either.
[0088] Step 1055: Adjust the proportional parameter of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within the range above the lower limit according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation.
[0089] In this embodiment, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be adjusted within the range above the lower limit value P3 according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, the adjusted proportional parameter P is greater than the lower limit value P3.
[0090] Among them, the proportional parameter P is negatively correlated with the absolute value of the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, the larger the absolute value of the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the smaller the proportional parameter P; conversely, the smaller the absolute value of the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the larger the proportional parameter P.
[0091] In specific implementation, on the one hand, the first superheat proportional deviation threshold and the second superheat proportional deviation threshold set for the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH and applicable to adjusting the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried.
[0092] Among them, the first superheat proportional deviation threshold is less than the second superheat proportional deviation threshold.
[0093] The first superheat proportional deviation threshold and its opposite number, the second superheat proportional deviation threshold and its opposite number can divide into 5 segments.
[0094] On the other hand, the first proportional value P0, the second proportional value P1, and the third proportional value P2 set for the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried within the range above the lower limit value P3.
[0095] Among them, the lower limit value P3 is less than the first proportional value P0, the first proportional value P0 is less than the second proportional value P1, and the second proportional value P1 is less than the third proportional value P2.
[0096] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is less than the negative value of the second superheat ratio deviation threshold, then adjust the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the third proportional value P2, i.e., P = P2.
[0097] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the negative value of the second superheat ratio deviation threshold and less than the negative value of the first superheat ratio deviation threshold, then adjust the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the second proportional value P1, i.e., P = P1.
[0098] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the negative value of the first superheat ratio deviation threshold and less than or equal to the first superheat ratio deviation threshold, then adjust the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the first proportional value P0, i.e., P = P0.
[0099] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the first superheat ratio deviation threshold and less than or equal to the second superheat ratio deviation threshold, then adjust the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the second proportional value P1, i.e., P = P1.
[0100] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than the second superheat ratio deviation threshold, then adjust the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to the third proportional value P2, i.e., P = P2.
[0101] Certainly, the above method of adjusting the proportional parameter P is only an example. When implementing this embodiment, other methods of adjusting the proportional parameter P can be set according to actual situations. For example, multiple thresholds for the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH can be set to divide more segments, and more values for the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be set to map to more segments, etc. This embodiment does not limit this. In addition, in addition to the above method of adjusting the proportional parameter P, those skilled in the art can also adopt other methods of adjusting the proportional parameter P according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this either.
[0102] Step 106: Adjust the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within the current valve adjustment cycle according to the proportional parameter, valve adjustment cycle, actual exhaust superheat deviation, and unit exhaust superheat change rate.
[0103] In this embodiment, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be adjusted within the current valve adjustment cycle comprehensively according to the proportional parameter P, valve adjustment cycle T, actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, and unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH.
[0104] In a specific implementation, the proportional parameter P, the regulating valve period T, the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, and the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH are input into the proportional-integral-derivative function set for the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump for operation to obtain the number of regulation steps Step within the current regulating valve period T, that is, Step = EviPID(P, T, EDSH, PSRCESH), where EviPID is the proportional-integral-derivative function set for the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump.
[0105] The auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted according to the number of regulation steps Step. Among them, when the number of regulation steps Step is negative, the opening degree of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is reduced; when the number of regulation steps Step is positive, the opening degree of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is increased.
[0106] When the opening degree of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump increases, more refrigerant will enter the evaporator, and the amount of refrigerant that absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator increases.
[0107] When the opening degree of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump decreases, the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator decreases, and the refrigerant absorbs heat fully in the evaporator, causing the superheat of the refrigerant vapor at the outlet of the evaporator to increase, and the exhaust superheat also increases accordingly.
[0108] Reasonably adjusting the opening degree of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can make the refrigerant flow rate in the evaporator match the heat load. Under different operating conditions of the heat pump, such as different ambient temperatures, indoor loads, etc., accurately controlling the refrigerant flow rate through the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can keep the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator at an appropriate superheat. This can avoid problems such as liquid slugging damage to the compressor caused by liquid carryover during suction (too low superheat), or too high superheat resulting in too high compressor exhaust temperature and system performance degradation. Thus, the heat pump system can maintain good performance and efficiency under different working conditions, and the exhaust superheat can also be maintained within a reasonable range, optimizing the performance of the heat pump.
[0109] In this embodiment, a target exhaust superheat degree is set for the heat pump; the actual exhaust superheat degree of the heat pump is collected in multiple exhaust cycles; the difference between the target exhaust superheat degree and the actual exhaust superheat degree is calculated to obtain the actual exhaust superheat degree deviation; the unit exhaust superheat degree change rate per unit time of the heat pump in the exhaust cycle is calculated based on the actual exhaust superheat degree deviation; the regulating valve cycle and proportional parameters of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump are adjusted according to the actual exhaust superheat degree deviation, the target exhaust superheat degree and the unit exhaust superheat degree change rate under the condition of predicting the future exhaust superheat degree of the heat pump; the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted within the current regulating valve cycle according to the proportional parameters, the regulating valve cycle, the actual exhaust superheat degree deviation and the unit exhaust superheat degree change rate. This embodiment predicts the future state of the heat pump and intervenes in the adjustment control of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump in advance, effectively improving the response speed. Moreover, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted by integrating a variety of different operating parameters, improving the adjustment accuracy, enabling the exhaust superheat degree of the heat pump to quickly reach the set state, realizing the rapid adaptive adjustment of the heat pump, ensuring the stable performance of the heat pump, and making the heat pump in an efficient and reliable state.
