Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning equipment performance testing technology, and in particular to a method and system for evaluating the air circulation performance of an air conditioning unit damper under high and low temperature environments. Background Technology
[0002] As a core actuator in variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems, the air damper of an air handling unit directly determines the system's temperature and humidity control accuracy and energy consumption level through its circulation performance (including consistency of action, sealing performance, and stability of driving torque). However, existing methods for evaluating the circulation performance of air handling unit dampers have significant technical flaws, making it difficult to meet practical application needs: First, they lack adaptability to extreme environments. Existing methods are mostly based on stable operating conditions at normal temperatures, failing to consider the impact of extreme conditions such as damper component freezing at low temperatures and seal aging at high temperatures on circulation performance. This leads to a disconnect between the evaluation results and actual application scenarios, failing to reflect the damper's true performance in harsh environments. Second, the problem of misjudgment due to dynamic interference is prominent. Traditional evaluations rely on offline static testing, which cannot eliminate dynamic factors during the operation of the air conditioning system (such as sudden load changes, etc.). Interference from the transient process during startup and data autocorrelation can easily misjudge normal parameter fluctuations as performance degradation, reducing the accuracy of the assessment; third, the ability to locate the root cause of the fault is insufficient. Existing methods can only detect the phenomenon of "performance not meeting the standard" and cannot distinguish whether the fault is caused by mechanical wear of the damper, sensor failure, or parameter setting deviation, which requires checking one by one during the maintenance process, resulting in low efficiency; fourth, the early warning capability is lacking. It relies on periodic shutdown for detection and cannot capture the slight performance degradation of the damper in real time (such as the initial aging of the seals), which can easily miss the best maintenance time, increasing the later maintenance cost and the risk of system downtime.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to evaluate the air conditioning unit damper circulation performance that can adapt to extreme high and low temperature environments, effectively eliminate dynamic interference, and achieve accurate fault location and early warning, in order to fill the existing technological gap and meet the needs of efficient operation and maintenance of air conditioning systems.
