Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of combined cooling and heating, and particularly relates to a dual cold storage combined cooling and heating system. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a high-efficiency and energy-saving temperature regulation technology, the heat pump system has been widely used in building heating, hot water and industrial heating, etc. The current mainstream heat pump system mainly includes air source heat pump, water source heat pump and ground source heat pump. Among them, the air source heat pump has become the mainstream choice in residential and commercial fields due to its flexible installation, low cost, strong adaptability and other advantages. Typical applications such as variable frequency heat pump system use compressor refrigeration and heating principle to absorb heat from the environment air through finned heat exchanger, and then heat the water through the jacket heat exchanger to output hot water, realizing efficient heating and cooling, which is suitable for summer, but the hot water consumption is not large and the energy utilization is not complete. Or, in reverse, by absorbing the heat from the water source to the finned heat exchanger, air heating and warm air blowing are realized, which is suitable for winter, but at this time hot water cannot be produced and only part of the function is applicable to winter.

[0003] However, most of the existing heat pump systems only support single heating or cooling function, and cannot realize flexible switching or parallel energy supply according to the cooling and heating load demand of buildings or users. In the seasons of alternating or coexisting cooling and heating demand (such as spring and autumn seasons or multi-functional building scenes), the single-function heat pump system is difficult to match the actual demand.

[0004] In addition, in the cooling and heating conversion process, the heat pump system lacks intermediate buffering and storage of heat or cold, which causes the system to work continuously to regulate the output, reducing the coefficient of performance (COP), increasing mechanical wear and energy waste.

[0005] Therefore, some researches begin to explore the combined cooling and heating technology, that is, to integrate the cooling source and heating source output capacity in one system, and to realize the synchronous operation of refrigeration and heating through heat recovery or energy management. For example, a double-circuit heat pump system or an auxiliary heat storage unit is introduced for seasonal conversion, but there are still problems such as complex structure, difficult control, low energy storage efficiency, etc. At the same time, such systems generally cannot flexibly cut off the water source or evaporator side loop according to the actual use demand, causing the heat pump to be in a cycle of "transportation-attenuation-overconsumption" for a long time, which significantly affects the overall energy efficiency and system responsiveness.

[0006] The existing technology has the following technical problems:

[0007] (1) The traditional heat pump heating or cooling system has single function, which is difficult to meet the demand of coexisting or alternating cooling and heating;

[0008] (2) The existing combined cooling and heating technology has complex structure, lacks energy storage and regulation mechanism, and has poor cooling and heating output matching;

[0009] (3) The system lacks intelligent control and cut-off of the water source side or the evaporator side in operation, which is prone to cause energy waste;

[0010] (4) The heat pump has a significant decrease in heat / cold transport efficiency as the operation time increases, and the system has a low energy efficiency.

[0011] In summary, the prior art at least has the following technical problems:

[0012] The existing heat pump system has the technical problems of being unable to flexibly realize cold and heat supply, insufficient energy utilization, energy waste, and low overall system energy efficiency. SUMMARY

[0071] In application, the first temperature sensor 45 and the second temperature sensor 55 monitor the temperature of the energy storage medium of the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3 in real time, and the central controller 6 judges the current energy storage state according to the set target range (the temperature of the cold storage medium is 5-10℃, and the temperature of the heat storage medium is 25-60℃); when the set target is reached, the operation of the variable frequency heat pump 1 is automatically stopped to realize the energy storage cutoff control.

[0072] And in the valley electricity period, the central controller 6 can actively start the variable frequency heat pump 1 for refrigeration and heating, preferentially increase or decrease the temperature of the energy storage medium in the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3 to the target value, fully utilize the low-price electricity to complete the energy storage, and directly call the stored cold / heat when the daytime high load to avoid frequent start and stop of the variable frequency heat pump 1.

[0073] This energy storage scheme can effectively realize the peak-shaving use of energy and the optimization of electricity cost, significantly improve the economic efficiency and intelligent energy efficiency control level of the system.

[0074] The energy storage priority control logic of the central controller 6 is specifically as follows: when the temperature of the cold storage device 2 is lower than the set lower limit of the temperature of the cold storage medium, or the temperature of the heat storage device 3 is higher than the set upper limit of the temperature of the heat storage medium, the variable frequency heat pump 1 is controlled to stop running, and the system enters a standby mode; when the temperature of the cold storage device 2 is higher than the set temperature of the cold storage medium, and the temperature of the heat storage device 3 is within the target range, the variable frequency heat pump 1 is controlled to only enable the cold side heat exchange passage 11, and the system enters a single cold mode; when the temperature of the heat storage device 3 is lower than the set temperature of the heat storage medium, and the temperature of the cold storage device 2 is within the target range, the variable frequency heat pump 1 is controlled to only enable the hot side heat exchange passage 12, and the system enters a single heat mode; when the temperature of the cold storage medium in the cold storage device 2 is higher than the set target temperature of the cold storage medium, and the temperature of the heat storage medium in the heat storage device 3 is lower than the set target temperature of the heat storage medium, the variable frequency heat pump 1 is controlled to simultaneously enable the cold side heat exchange passage 11 and the hot side heat exchange passage 12, and the system enters a cold-heat combined supply mode; when it is judged that the current power consumption time is in a valley power time, the variable frequency heat pump 1 is preferentially started to reach the set target temperature of the energy storage medium in the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3, and then the variable frequency heat pump 1 is controlled to stop running, and the system enters the standby mode.

[0075] In application, the central controller 6 dynamically selects the running mode of the system according to the temperatures of the energy storage media in the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3: (1) the cold storage device 2 reaches a specified low temperature, and the heat storage device 3 reaches a specified high temperature → the heat pump stops running, and the system enters a standby energy-saving state;

[0076] (2) the temperature of the cold storage device 2 is high → the cold side heat exchange passage 11 of the variable frequency heat pump 1 is started, and the system enters a single cold mode;

[0077] (3) the temperature of the heat storage device 3 is low → the hot side heat exchange passage 12 of the variable frequency heat pump 1 is started, and the system enters a single heat mode;

[0078] (4) the temperature of the cold storage device 2 is high and the temperature of the heat storage device 3 is low → the variable frequency heat pump 1 is started, and the cold side and the hot side heat exchange passages 12 are simultaneously started, and the system enters a cold-heat combined supply mode;

[0079] (5) it is judged that the current power consumption period is a valley power time → the variable frequency heat pump 1 is preferentially started to perform energy storage work of the cold storage medium and the heat storage medium even in a non-load period.

[0080] The energy storage priority control strategy combines the energy storage state and the electricity price factor, comprehensively weighs energy efficiency, response speed and running cost, realizes dynamic optimal running, adapts to multi-scene and full-period running demands, and is one of key technologies for realizing an intelligent energy efficiency building cold-heat combined supply system.

[0081] The second embodiment of the dual cold and heat storage combined supply system, which is different from the first embodiment, is that the central controller 6 is provided with a three-stage timing control function for dividing the daily operation time into three independent time periods and controlling the operation state of the variable frequency heat pump 1 according to the preset mode priority rule in each time period.

[0082] In which: the first time period is set to preferentially enter the single heat mode or the cold and heat combined supply mode to meet the demand for domestic hot water or heating; the second time period is set to preferentially enter the single cold mode or the cold and heat combined supply mode to provide the air conditioning cold load; the third time period is set to enter the cold and heat combined supply mode or the energy storage priority mode to complete the pre-charging of cold and hot water; the first time period, the second time period and the third time period are set by the user through the central controller 6 and are jointly determined by the current temperature state of the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3 to determine the operation mode.

[0083] In application, the three-stage timing control function of the central controller 6 is used to divide the daily operation time of the dual cold and heat storage combined supply system into three time periods defined by the user, for example, the first time period is from 06:00 to 09:00, the second time period is from 10:00 to 17:00, and the third time period is from 18:00 to 24:00. The specific time range can be set through the touch interface of the central controller 6, the upper computer communication interface, or the wireless module connected to the background control end.

[0084] In different time periods, the dual cold and heat storage combined supply system automatically schedules the operation state according to the corresponding mode priority rule.

[0085] (1) In the first time period, the central controller 6 preferentially determines the demand for domestic hot water or heating and automatically selects the single heat mode or the cold and heat combined supply mode according to the temperature state of the heat storage device 3 to ensure the supply of hot water and heating during the morning peak period.

[0086] (2) In the second time period, the system preferentially enters the single cold mode or the cold and heat combined supply mode to provide stable cold air for office, commercial or residential spaces to meet the daytime air conditioning load demand.

[0087] (3) In the third time period, the system enters the cold and heat combined supply or energy storage priority mode to actively charge cold / heat into the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3 to form a pre-energy storage preparation to support the cold and heat use during the next morning peak period.

[0088] The automatic judgment of the above mode is mainly controlled by the current time period, and is combined with the current temperature upper and lower limit state of the cold storage device 2 and the heat storage device 3 to make a joint judgment; for example, if the temperature of the cold storage medium of the cold storage device 2 reaches the target value and the temperature of the heat storage medium of the heat storage device 3 is low in the second time period, the system will switch to the single heat mode; if the cold and heat do not meet the standard in the third time period, the system will start the cold-heat heat exchange path at the same time to enter the combined supply state; between 24:00-5:00 in the early morning, the cold and heat dual energy storage is preferentially selected during the valley electricity period at night.

[0089] The three-stage timing operation strategy of the embodiment can flexibly configure the operation time and strategy according to different scenes (such as residence, office building, and hospital), and improve the response matching degree of the dual cold-heat storage combined supply system to user behavior patterns.

[0090] Through the structured management of daily operation time, the operation scheduling of the dual cold-heat storage combined supply system is more intelligent, accurate, and energy-saving; effectively solves the problem of response lag or single operation strategy of the traditional heat pump system under multiple working conditions; at the same time, optimizes the energy pre-storage strategy during the valley electricity period, reduces the operation energy consumption cost, and improves the economy; avoids cold-heat conflict or frequent start-stop of the host, improves the stability and service life of the equipment.

[0091] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and for the sake of simplicity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
