[0054] It needs to be further explained that in the specific implementation process, the process of obtaining the electronic expansion valve opening degree data stream and establishing the baseline model M1 for predicting the refrigerating capacity and the baseline model M2 for predicting the energy efficiency ratio by using the gradient boosting regression tree algorithm includes:

[0055] S11, collecting historical operation data sets: electronic expansion valve opening degree , refrigerating capacity Q and energy efficiency ratio EER from the historical operation database of the water chiller or refrigerating system; cleaning the collected historical operation data sets, processing missing values and abnormal values (checking whether there are missing electronic expansion valve opening degree , refrigerating capacity Q and energy efficiency ratio EER records in the data set, directly deleting missing samples or filling them by using interpolation method; identifying and eliminating obviously unreasonable data (such as negative electronic expansion valve opening degree , extremely high or extremely low energy efficiency ratio EER) caused by sensor failure or operation error by using box plot or 3σ rule method; randomly shuffling the cleaned data set, and dividing it into training set and test set according to the preset proportion (such as 8:2), wherein 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;

[0059] It can be understood that, in the feature construction process, in addition to the refrigeration 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 inlet and outlet water of the evaporator), the rate of change of the electronic expansion valve opening (calculated based on the opening difference at the previous and subsequent time points), etc., to more comprehensively reflect the operating state of the refrigeration system;

[0060] S13, using the pre-processed electronic expansion valve opening and the derived features as the common input feature set, training model M1 (predicting refrigeration capacity Q) and model M2 (predicting energy efficiency ratio EER) in the same gradient boosting regression tree training framework by replacing the output target, the process being: selecting a gradient boosting regression tree regressor, presetting the total number of iterations (T) rounds), and initializing the initial prediction values of the two models (the initial prediction value of model M1 is set to the average of the refrigeration capacity Q in the training set, and the initial prediction value of model M2 is set to the average of the energy efficiency ratio EER in the training set); it can be understood that the gradient boosting regression tree algorithm gradually reduces the prediction error by iteratively adding new regression trees, thereby improving the fitting ability of the model; training round by round, a total of T rounds, updating model M1 and model M2 synchronously round by round; wherein the iterative training process includes calculating the negative gradient (residual error), training a new regression tree, calculating the leaf node output value, and updating the overall prediction function:

[0063] A2, using the current entire training set, with the electronic expansion valve opening as input, the calculated negative gradient as output target, train a new regression tree , divide the data into J leaf nodes through the new regression tree ; wherein, J represents that the mth tree is divided into J leaf nodes, that is, the number of leaf nodes, J is an integer, and its size is controlled by hyperparameters such as the maximum depth of the tree; R is the region, which divides the input space into multiple non-overlapping regions; represents the jth leaf node region in the mth tree (j is the leaf node index, and j = 1, 2, …, J), for example, represents the 3rd leaf node on the 5th tree;

[0064] A3, calculate an output value for each leaf node j of the new tree , wherein, represents the output value of the jth leaf node of the mth tree, which is obtained by linear search to minimize the loss function, that is, the average value of the negative gradient of all samples divided into the leaf node ;

[0065] A4, add the new tree to the ensemble model and update the overall prediction function: , wherein, is the learning rate, which is used to control the contribution of each tree, and the two models are kept unified; is an indicator function, which outputs 1 when belongs to the leaf node region , otherwise outputs 0, which is used to locate the split position in the tree; when updating the overall prediction function, determine the adjustment strategy of the learning rate, for example, dynamically adjust the learning rate according to the performance on the validation set, to avoid overfitting or underfitting; through cross-validation, optimize the hyperparameters shared by the model M1 and the model M2 on the training set, to find the optimal combination of hyperparameters that minimize the validation set error of the model M1 and the model M2; wherein the hyperparameters include the number of trees (or the number of iterations), the learning rate (reducing the contribution of each tree), the maximum depth of each decision tree (controlling the model complexity), the subsampling ratio (used to introduce randomness and prevent overfitting), and the minimum number of samples required for a leaf node; using the optimal combination of hyperparameters, reiterate the training on the entire training set to obtain the final baseline model M1 (outputting the refrigeration capacity Q) and the baseline model M2 (outputting the energy efficiency ratio EER);
