[0014] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the implementation regulations described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for dynamically assessing the health status of a refrigeration unit, comprising: S1. Obtain the electronic expansion valve opening data stream, and use the gradient boosting regression tree algorithm to establish the benchmark model M1 for predicting cooling capacity and the benchmark model M2 for energy efficiency ratio. S2. Transform the trained baseline model M1 and baseline model M2 into a dynamic baseline model that responds to real-time operating conditions; input the real-time electronic expansion valve opening degree into the dynamic baseline model, and perform joint calculation of real-time performance indicators and degradation degree to obtain the real-time score of the refrigeration unit; among which, the real-time performance indicators are standard cooling capacity and standard energy efficiency ratio. S3. Based on the real-time score of the refrigeration unit, compare it with the configuration judgment threshold to determine the status of the refrigeration unit, including healthy, sub-healthy, faulty, serious faulty or completely failed status. S4. Based on the evaluation results, establish a dynamic adjustment strategy: If the refrigeration unit is detected to be in a faulty, severely faulty, or completely failed state, the update cycle of the dynamic benchmark model and the sensor sampling frequency will be dynamically adjusted; the dynamic adjustment strategy can adjust the operating parameters of the model and sensors in a timely manner according to the changes in the health status of the unit, thereby improving the response speed and accuracy.
[0016] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the process of acquiring the electronic expansion valve opening data stream and using the gradient boosting regression tree algorithm to establish the benchmark model M1 for predicting cooling capacity and the benchmark model M2 for energy efficiency ratio includes: S11. Collect historical operation data from the historical operation database of the chiller unit or refrigeration system: electronic expansion valve opening. Cooling capacity Q and energy efficiency ratio EER; clean the collected historical operating dataset, handling missing and outlier values (checking for missing electronic expansion valve openings in the dataset). For records of cooling capacity (Q) and energy efficiency ratio (EER), missing samples should be deleted directly or filled using interpolation. Box plots or the 3σ criterion should be used to identify and remove obviously unreasonable data caused by sensor malfunctions or operational errors, such as electronic expansion valve opening. (For negative values, extremely high or extremely low energy efficiency ratio EER); the cleaned dataset is randomly shuffled and divided into a training set and a test set according to a preset ratio (e.g., 8:2). The training set is used to train the model parameters, and the test set is used to finally evaluate the generalization performance of the model. S12, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve The main input features are normalized to optimize the gradient and improve the convergence speed and performance of the regression tree. At the same time, derived features closely related to the cooling capacity Q and energy efficiency ratio EER are constructed to form an input feature set that can be used by models M1 and M2. The introduction of derived features enhances the model's ability to capture complex physical processes and improves the accuracy of prediction. Specifically, in a refrigeration system, the heat exchange on the evaporator side is considered as the refrigeration capacity Q; by measuring the inlet and outlet water temperatures and flow rates of the evaporator, the formula for calculating the refrigeration capacity Q is as follows: In the formula, The specific heat capacity of water at constant pressure. The mass flow rate of water on side e of the evaporator. The inlet water temperature of evaporator e. Let the outlet water temperature of evaporator e be used; then, the first derived characteristic is constructed, namely, the cooling contribution per unit mass flow rate. : This characteristic reflects the cooling effect produced when a unit mass of water flows through the evaporator. The larger the value, the stronger the cooling capacity at the same flow rate. Understandably, in the process of feature construction, in addition to the cooling contribution per unit mass flow rate, there are other derived features, such as the heat exchange efficiency on the evaporator side (calculated based on the temperature difference and flow rate of the evaporator inlet and outlet water) and the rate of change of the opening of the electronic expansion valve (calculated based on the opening difference between the two time points), so as to more comprehensively reflect the operating status of the refrigeration system. S13, based on the pre-processed electronic expansion valve opening... The derived features share the same input feature set. By replacing the output target, models M1 (predicting cooling capacity Q) and M2 (predicting energy efficiency ratio EER) are trained separately within the same gradient boosting regression tree training framework. The process is as follows: select the gradient boosting regression tree regressor, preset the total number of iterations ( The algorithm iteratively adds new regression trees to gradually reduce prediction errors, thus improving the model's fitting ability. This process is repeated round by round. In each round, models M1 and M2 are updated synchronously. The iterative training process includes calculating the negative gradient (residual), training a new regression tree, calculating the output values of the leaf nodes, and updating the overall prediction function. A1. For each sample i in the training set, calculate the negative gradient between the predicted value and the true value of the current model (the model composed of the (m-1)th tree): In the formula, G is the negative gradient, i is the sample index, and m is the tree or iteration index; The loss function; Let represent the negative gradient of the m-th iteration or the m-th tree. For example, if the current iteration is the 5th tree constructed by the algorithm, then... This represents the negative gradient (residual) calculated for the i-th training sample when constructing the m-th tree. This represents the true value of the i-th sample in model M1. The actual cooling capacity of the i-th sample In model M2, The true energy efficiency ratio of the i-th sample ; This represents the current ensemble model's prediction for the i-th sample. It is a quantity that changes continuously with iteration. When constructing the m-th tree, The predicted value given by the ensemble model consisting of the first m-1 trees is... ; This represents the feature input of a sample i; A2. Using the entire current training set, with the electronic expansion valve opening... As input, the calculated negative gradient To output the target, train a new regression tree. The data is divided into J leaf nodes using a new regression tree. Where J represents the number of leaf nodes that the m-th tree has been divided into, and J is an integer whose size is controlled by hyperparameters such as the maximum depth of the tree; R is a region that divides the input space into multiple non-overlapping regions. This represents the j-th leaf node region in the m-th tree (where j is the leaf node index, and j = 1, 2, ..., J). For example, This represents the 3rd leaf node on the 5th tree; A3. Calculate an output value for each leaf node j of this new tree. ,in, The output value of the j-th leaf node in the m-th tree is obtained by minimizing the loss function through linear search, i.e., it is assigned to that leaf node. negative gradient of all samples The average value; A4. Add the new tree to the ensemble model and update the overall prediction function: In the formula, It is the learning rate, used to control the contribution of each tree, keeping the two models consistent; For indicator functions, when Belonging to the leaf node region Output 1 if the condition is met, otherwise output 0, used for positioning. The partitioning position in the tree; when updating the overall prediction function, determine the learning rate adjustment strategy, such as dynamically adjusting the learning rate based on the performance on the validation set to avoid overfitting or underfitting; fine-tune the hyperparameters shared by models M1 and M2 on the training set through cross-validation to find the optimal hyperparameter combination that minimizes the validation set error of models M1 and M2; where hyperparameters include the number of trees (or number of iterations), learning rate (to reduce the contribution of each tree), maximum depth of each decision tree (to control model complexity), subsampling ratio (to introduce randomness and prevent overfitting), and minimum number of samples required for leaf nodes; retrain iteratively on the entire training set using the optimal hyperparameter combination to obtain the final baseline model M1 (output cooling capacity Q) and baseline model M2 (output energy efficiency ratio EER). S14. Use the partitioned test set to evaluate the performance of the baseline model M1 and the baseline model M2 respectively, and record the mean square error, mean absolute error and coefficient of determination as the benchmark for subsequent model comparison.
[0017] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the process of transforming the trained baseline model M1 and baseline model M2 into a dynamic baseline model that responds to real-time operating conditions; inputting the real-time electronic expansion valve opening degree into the dynamic baseline model, and performing joint calculation of real-time performance indicators and degradation degree to obtain the real-time score of the refrigeration unit includes: The trained baseline models M1 and M2 (including core parameters such as optimal hyperparameters, tree structure, and leaf node output values) are packaged into a callable model file package and deployed to the real-time monitoring device of the chiller unit. When the device starts up, it automatically loads all parameters of the baseline models M1 and M2 to ensure that the initial state of the model is consistent with the trained baseline state, providing a basic framework for dynamic calculation. Real-time acquisition of current operating condition data of the unit (including real-time electronic expansion valve opening, real-time ambient temperature, chilled water inlet temperature, cooling water inlet temperature, and other key operating condition variables); alignment of real-time operating condition data with the common input feature set of benchmark models M1 and M2 (e.g., calculating the real-time value of the opening change rate - energy efficiency response coefficient based on the real-time electronic expansion valve opening and the average opening within the previous 10 seconds), ensuring that the feature dimensions and format of the input benchmark models M1 and M2 are consistent with those during training, avoiding prediction bias due to feature mismatch; If the real-time operating conditions differ from the operating conditions range of the training data for baseline models M1 and M2 (e.g., the ambient temperature exceeds ±10% of the training data, indicating a significant difference), a dynamic calibration mechanism is activated: the real-time electronic expansion valve opening value over the past hour is used. Valid real-time cooling capacity Q and real-time energy efficiency ratio EER data (≥50 data sets, no outliers) are used to incrementally train the loaded baseline models M1 and M2 (keeping the original hyperparameters fixed and only updating the latest 3-5 regression trees) to correct the model's prediction bias for extreme operating conditions; the calibrated model is the dynamic baseline model. (Real-time cooling capacity Q prediction model) and dynamic benchmark model (Real-time Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) Prediction Model) Its parameters are dynamically adjusted according to real-time operating conditions to ensure that the standard output value matches the actual operating status of the current unit. During incremental training, the selection strategy for adding new regression trees is determined, such as selecting the optimal number of regression trees based on the performance of the validation set, and balancing the contribution between the new trees and the original trees.

Real-time degradation rate of energy efficiency ratio : , ; The real-time score of the refrigeration unit is calculated by combining the real-time degradation rate of its cooling capacity and the real-time degradation rate of its energy efficiency ratio. : .
[0018] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the process of determining the status of the refrigeration unit based on its real-time score and the configuration judgment threshold includes: If the real-time score of the refrigeration unit If the refrigeration unit is in a healthy state, operating normally and with excellent performance; if If the refrigeration unit is in a sub-healthy state, it is operating well and performing normally; if If the refrigeration unit is in a fault state, it will exhibit abnormal behavior but can still operate, although its performance will be significantly reduced; if If the refrigeration unit is in a state of serious malfunction, it will be difficult to operate and its performance will be severely degraded; if If this occurs, the refrigeration unit is in a state of complete failure and is essentially unable to operate; among them, All are judgment thresholds, and .
