Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ventilation system control technology, and in particular relates to a non-iterative debugging method based on a calculation model of a ventilation system duct network. Background Technology
[0002] In the design of air conditioning system duct networks, theoretically, hydraulic balance under design conditions can be achieved through methods such as selecting appropriate pipe diameters. However, due to the imprecise nature of flow calculation methods, duct design alone cannot guarantee a proper balance. Therefore, to ensure adequate balance, the valve openings in the air conditioning system must be adjusted until the design flow rate of the entire system meets the requirements of the specifications. By properly balancing the flow rate, the operating costs of the system can be reduced, the comfort of occupants in the building can be improved, and the service life of HVAC equipment can be extended.
[0003] Existing commissioning methods are iterative approaches requiring multiple measurements and repeated valve opening adjustments. First, flow rate and pressure are measured; then, the valve opening is adjusted to match the design flow rate; the flow rate is measured again, and this process of measurement and adjustment is repeated during trial and error until the design flow rate is achieved. This method is effective for simple ventilation systems. However, for ventilation systems with numerous branches and complex layouts, frequent on-site measurements and repeated adjustments by workers are necessary to bring the airflow close to the design value. This commissioning process is not only highly dependent on worker experience but also time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, errors in the measuring equipment and operation of parameters such as airflow and pressure make it difficult to guarantee the commissioning effect and efficiency of the ventilation ducts. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop simpler and more efficient non-iterative commissioning methods for ventilation systems, freeing commissioning work from repeated trial and error and improving commissioning efficiency and accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a non-iterative debugging method based on a wind system duct network calculation model, aiming to solve the problems of excessive reliance on debugging experience and time-consuming and labor-intensive debugging in complex ventilation systems.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following scheme: a non-iterative debugging method based on a wind system pipeline network calculation model, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Measure the air system using measuring equipment. The measured parameters include the air volume at each terminal of the air system and the static pressure at the fan outlet.
[0007] The measurement parameters were completed under two different operating conditions. The first operating condition was that all end valves were fully open, and the second operating condition was that the end valve farthest from the fan was closed, while the remaining end valves were fully open.
[0008] For a wind system with n terminals, there are a total of 2n+1 measurement parameters, including 2n-1 terminal air volume values and 2 fan outlet static pressure values, where n is a natural number and n≥1.
[0009] Step 2: The calculation module solves for the characteristics of the air system network. The solution parameters include the resistance coefficient of each branch of the air system and the static pressure at each branch point.
[0010] For a wind system with n terminals, there are a total of 2n-1 branches and n-1 branch points, corresponding to 2n-1 branch drag coefficients and n-1 branch point static pressures;
[0011] The first set of operating conditions contains 3n solution parameters, including 2n-1 branch resistance coefficients, n-1 branch point static pressures, and 2 fan constants; the second set of operating conditions contains n-1 solution parameters, including n-1 branch point static pressures; there are a total of 4n-1 solution parameters for the characteristics of the air system network.
[0012] For a wind system with n terminals, there are 2n-1 branches, corresponding to 2n-1 pressure drop-flow equations;
[0013] The first set of operating conditions contains 2n equations, including 2n-1 pressure drop-flow rate equations and 1 fan static pressure-flow rate curve equation; the second set of operating conditions contains 2n-1 equations, including 2n-2 pressure drop-flow rate equations and 1 fan static pressure-flow rate equation; in total, there are 4n-1 equations for solving the characteristics of the air system network, which can be used to solve the characteristics of the air system network.
[0014] The static pressure-flow rate curve equation of the fan is fitted using the quadratic relationship shown in equation (1); the pressure drop-flow rate equation of the air system pipeline is fitted using the quadratic relationship shown in equation (2):
[0015] P Fan =AB*Q Fan 2 (1)
[0016] ΔP=K*Q 2 (2)
[0017] In the formula, P Fan Q is the static pressure at the fan outlet, in Pa. Fan This refers to the fan outlet flow rate, in meters per second (m³). 3 / h; A is the fan constant, in Pa; B is the fan constant, in Pa / (m 3 / h) 2 ΔP is the branch pressure drop, in Pa; Q is the branch flow rate, in m³ / s. 3 / h; K is the branch resistance coefficient, in Pa / (m)3 / h) 2 .
[0018] Step 3: The calculation module solves for the target drag coefficient of the wind system. The target drag coefficient is the drag coefficient of each terminal branch when the wind system reaches equilibrium.
[0019] For a wind system with n terminals, there are 2n solution parameters in equilibrium, including n terminal branch drag coefficients and n branch point static pressures.
[0020] For a wind system with n terminals, there are 2n equations to solve in equilibrium, including 2n-1 pressure drop-flow rate equations and 1 fan static pressure-flow rate curve equation, which can be used to solve for the target drag coefficient of the wind system.
[0021] Step 4: The calculation module calculates the predicted flow rate for each terminal. The predicted flow rate is the reference value of the flow rate that needs to be used when adjusting the valves at each terminal.
[0022] First, the predicted flow rate of branch 1, which is closest to the wind turbine, is calculated. For a wind system with n terminals, the resistance coefficient of branch 1 is set as the target value, and the other branches are set as the initial value. The flow rate of each branch under this condition is calculated. The flow rate of branch 1 is the predicted flow rate of branch 1.
[0023] The process of determining the predicted flow rate of branch 1 includes 2n solution parameters, including n end branch resistance coefficients and n branch point static pressures; the process of determining the predicted flow rate of branch 1 includes 2n solution equations, including 2n-1 pressure drop-flow rate equations and 1 fan static pressure-flow rate curve equation, which can be used to determine the predicted flow rate of branch 1.
[0024] The method for calculating the predicted flow of the remaining branches 2 to n is the same as that for branch 1.
[0025] Step 5: The computer uses the calculation module to calculate and analyze the predicted flow rate of each terminal, and displays it through the visualization module to guide on-site debugging. Each terminal only needs to be adjusted once to make the air system reach a balanced state.
[0026] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] This invention enables the air system to reach equilibrium with only one adjustment for each terminal valve. This method addresses numerous challenges encountered when commissioning complex ventilation duct systems, such as high commissioning difficulty, heavy reliance on experienced operators, time-consuming and labor-intensive processes, and large experimental testing errors. It eliminates the need for repeated trial and error, improving commissioning efficiency and accuracy. Based on minimal measurements and a deep understanding of the duct network's characteristics, this invention solves for the air system's network characteristics, target resistance coefficient, and predicted flow rates at each terminal valve. Finally, adjustments are made to each terminal valve based on the predicted flow rates to achieve system equilibrium.
