DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0053] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the present application.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms such as "first", "second" and the like are used to distinguish different items or similar items having substantially the same function and action. Those skilled in the art can understand that the terms such as "first", "second" and the like do not limit the quantity and execution sequence, and the terms such as "first", "second" and the like do not necessarily mean different. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent an example, illustration or description. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used in the sense of presenting related concepts in a specific manner.

[0055] It should be noted that "at" in the embodiments of the present application can be at the moment when a certain condition occurs, or can be within a period of time after a certain condition occurs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the air conditioning system control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is only an example, and the air conditioning system control method can also include more or less content.
[0056] In modern data machine rooms, power machine rooms and battery rooms and other key facilities, if the heat generated by the equipment operation cannot be dissipated in time and effectively, it will seriously threaten the stability and safety of the equipment. On the one hand, high temperature environment will cause the performance degradation of internal electronic components, accelerate the aging process, increase the probability of failure, and even cause equipment damage, business interruption and data loss and other serious consequences; on the other hand, the overheating problem will also limit the performance of the equipment, reduce its operating efficiency, and affect the overall business processing capacity. Therefore, ensuring that the equipment operates within a safe temperature range is a basic condition for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of these key facilities.
[0057] Currently, dual-source air conditioning systems are widely used in the aforementioned scenarios for heat dissipation. These systems innovatively combine air cooling and water cooling, leveraging their complementary advantages to create a redundant cooling mechanism. When one cooling method fails due to malfunction, maintenance, or other reasons, the other can quickly take over the cooling task, continuously providing heat dissipation for the equipment. This significantly improves the reliability and stability of the cooling system and reduces the likelihood of equipment damage caused by heat dissipation interruptions.
[0058] However, existing dual-source air conditioning systems exhibit a prominent problem during actual operation: high energy consumption and low energy efficiency. This is mainly due to the simplistic control method of traditional dual-source air conditioning systems. During operation, the collaborative working mechanism between the two cold sources is not optimized, leading to energy waste under certain conditions and resulting in low overall energy utilization efficiency. With rising energy costs and increasingly stringent energy conservation and emission reduction requirements, this problem severely restricts the further promotion and application of dual-source air conditioning systems. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-source air conditioning system and its control method that can significantly reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency while ensuring cooling reliability.
[0059] Based on this, embodiments of this application propose an air conditioning system, an air conditioning system control method, equipment, medium, and product, which can be used in the field of fluorine pump refrigeration system technology, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art. Through flexible switching and intelligent control of multiple operating modes, while ensuring the cooling effect in places such as data centers, power rooms, and battery rooms, the system achieves effective reduction of energy consumption and significant improvement of energy efficiency ratio.

[0068] Specifically, the first heat exchanger 2201 can be a water-fluorine heat exchanger. The outdoor cold source water-cooled part includes a cooling tower 210 and a cooling water pump 230. In a completely natural cooling mode, outdoor low-temperature water can exchange heat with the refrigerant side through the first heat exchanger 2201.

[0069] The air conditioning terminal 310 is connected to the first refrigerant pump 1301 and the first one-way valve 1401 through a liquid pipe 320 of the air conditioning refrigerant main pipeline, and is also connected to the first heat exchanger 2201, the compressor 170, and the second one-way valve 1402 through a gas pipe 330 of the air conditioning refrigerant main pipeline.
[0070] The air conditioning system provided by the embodiment includes an air conditioning part, a water-cooled part, and an air-cooled part, and each part works cooperatively to achieve flexible switching and efficient operation in refrigeration mode.
[0071] The air conditioner part includes an air conditioner refrigerant main pipeline and an air conditioner terminal 310 for releasing cold energy to a target space to achieve environmental cooling.
[0072] The air-cooled part is configured with at least one first refrigerant pump 1301, which is in communication with the air conditioner terminal 310 through a pipeline, and is used to drive the circulation of refrigerant between the air conditioner terminal and the heat exchange system.
[0073] The first one-way valve 1401 is arranged in parallel with the first refrigerant pump 1301, and is used to allow the refrigerant to flow directly to the air conditioner terminal 310 when the first refrigerant pump 1301 does not need to work.

[0078] Further, the air conditioning system can also include an intelligent control module, which integrates an array of temperature sensors to monitor the temperature difference of each node in real time, so as to dynamically adjust the refrigerant flow and the cooling water circulation rate.
[0079] The air-cooled part includes an outdoor fan 110 in communication with the liquid inlet end of the first refrigerant pump 1301.
[0080] The outdoor fan 110 is installed on the condenser 120, and is used to achieve condensation heat dissipation of the refrigerant through air convection.
[0081] The outdoor fan 110 can be configured with a variable frequency fan, and can be equipped with a micro-channel condenser 120, and the condenser 120 can adopt a corrugated fin structure to improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0082] The compressor 170 is in communication with the gas inlet end of the condenser 120, and is used to compress the gaseous refrigerant.
[0083] The second one-way valve 1402 is arranged in parallel with the compressor 170, and can be used to allow the refrigerant to bypass and flow when the compressor 170 does not need to work, to ensure the continuous circulation ability of the air conditioning system in the air-cooled mode without the compressor 170 running, and to achieve natural cooling.
[0084] The compressor 170 can be a scroll compressor supporting variable frequency adjustment. The second one-way valve 1402 in parallel can achieve natural cooling.
[0085] Further, a pressure sensor and a humidity sensor can be integrated in the air conditioning system to automatically switch the working mode according to the outdoor environment parameters.
[0086] The air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present application has a parallel or switchable connection structure between the water cooling part and the air cooling part and the first refrigerant pump 1301, so that the air conditioning system can automatically or manually switch between the water cooling mode and the air cooling mode and the mixed mode according to the environmental conditions or operation requirements, thereby improving the energy efficiency ratio and adaptability of the air conditioning system; through the cooperative operation of the double cooling sources, the refrigeration effect is ensured, the energy consumption of the air conditioning system is significantly reduced, the air conditioning energy efficiency ratio is improved, and the overall performance of the air conditioning system is effectively improved; the key components are designed in redundancy, so that a single point failure does not affect the overall operation of the air conditioning system.
[0087] Figure 4 The structure of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure Figure 2 As shown in the figure Figure 4 , the water cooling part includes a first heat exchanger 2201 in communication with the liquid inlet end of the first refrigerant pump 1301, a cooling water pump 230 in communication with the first heat exchanger 2201, and a cooling tower 210 in communication with the water inlet end of the cooling water pump 230. The pipeline between the cooling water pump 230 and the first refrigerant pump 1301 exchanges heat through the first heat exchanger 2201.
[0088] The air cooling part further includes at least one first refrigerant pump 1301 in communication with the air conditioning terminal 310, a second refrigerant pump 1302 in communication with the first refrigerant pump 1301, a third one-way valve 1403 in parallel with the second refrigerant pump 1302, and a second heat exchanger 2202.
[0089] Specifically, compared with the air conditioning system in Figure 3 , the air conditioning system in Figure 4 of the present embodiment is more suitable for the application scenario where the air conditioning terminal 310 is far away from the cooling source and has a relatively abundant installation space.
[0090] For the water cooling part, the first heat exchanger 2201 is used for heat exchange between the high-temperature refrigerant from the first refrigerant pump 1301 and the cooling water, so as to transfer heat to the cooling water.
[0091] The cooling tower 210 can dissipate heat in the cooling water to the atmosphere through contact with the outside air to achieve cooling of the cooling water.
[0092] The cooled water is returned to the first heat exchanger 2201 to complete the water cooling cycle.
[0093] For the air-cooled part, the first refrigerant pump 1301 can drive the refrigerant to circulate in the air conditioning terminal 310 to realize the absorption of indoor heat.
[0094] The second refrigerant pump 1302 is connected in series with the first refrigerant pump 1301, which can be used to enhance the circulation power of the refrigerant, so that the entire air conditioning system is more suitable for the application scenario where the air conditioning terminal 310 is far away from the cold source.
[0095] The third one-way valve 1403 is connected in parallel with the second refrigerant pump 1302, which can ensure the one-way flow of the refrigerant in the system in the completely natural cooling or partially natural cooling mode of the air-cooled fluorine pump system, prevent backflow, and ensure the stable operation of the air conditioning system.
[0096] The second heat exchanger 2202 can be used for direct air heat dissipation in the air-cooled mode, and can be used as an auxiliary heat exchange device to directly discharge the heat of the refrigerant to the air in the air-cooled mode.
[0097] The air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present application combines the efficient heat dissipation of water cooling and the flexible deployment of air cooling, and is suitable for the application scenario where the air conditioning terminal 310 is far away from the cold source and has relatively abundant installation space. By connecting the second refrigerant pump 1302 in series with the first refrigerant pump 1301, the circulation power of the refrigerant is enhanced, so that the entire air conditioning system is more suitable for the application scenario where the air conditioning terminal 310 is far away from the cold source. By configuring multiple pumps and heat exchangers, the reliability and adjustability of the air conditioning system are improved, and the water cooling and air cooling modes can be intelligently switched or combined according to the environmental temperature and load demand, so as to optimize the energy consumption.
[0098] Figure 5 The structure of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 3 . As shown in Figure 5 , the second heat exchanger 2202 and the first heat exchanger 2201 form a mixed heat exchanger 2203 integrated in the air conditioning system.
[0099] Specifically, compared with the air conditioning system in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the air conditioning system in Figure 5 provided by the embodiment is suitable for the application scenario where the air conditioning terminal 310 is far away from the cold source and has relatively tight installation space. By forming the mixed heat exchanger 2203 from the second heat exchanger 2202 and the first heat exchanger 2201, the installation space can be saved, and the integration degree of the air conditioning system can be improved.
[0100] In addition, Figure 5The air conditioning system shown in the embodiment has a large resistance due to the mixed heat exchanger 220, and thus the lift of the second refrigerant pump 1302 can be greater than Figure 4 the lift of the second refrigerant pump 1302.
[0101] Optionally, the quantity ratio between the cooling water pump 230 and the first heat exchanger 2201 can be N:(N+1), where N is the number of the cooling water pump 230, N+1 is the number of the first heat exchanger 2201, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. Through such a redundant design, the safety and stability of the air conditioning system are ensured.
[0102] Further, the cooling water pump 230, the first refrigerant pump 1301, and the compressor 170 can all be frequency conversion, which can reduce energy consumption and facilitate more accurate control of the flow and pressure in the pipeline.
[0103] Further, the cooling tower 210, the cooling water pump 230, and the first heat exchanger can adopt an outdoor container form and be installed on the roof to save installation space.
[0104] Further, the second refrigerant pump 1302 can also be frequency conversion, and the first refrigerant pump 1301 and the second refrigerant pump 1302 can also adopt a redundant design to ensure the safety and stability of the air conditioning system.
[0105] Further, the air conditioning system can also include a dehumidification terminal, and the air conditioning terminal 310 and the dehumidification terminal can both include an expansion valve 150. The air conditioning terminal can adopt various forms such as a room-level air conditioner, an aisle-level air conditioner, a wind wall air conditioner, a backboard air conditioner, and a backboard wind wall air conditioner.
[0106] The dehumidification terminal can adopt refrigeration dehumidification, and the dehumidification device does not need to be provided with a compressor 170 and a condenser 120, but only needs to be provided with an expansion valve 150 and an air conditioning terminal 310 that share a set of cold source in a multi-connected manner. Through such a connection manner, the size of the dehumidification device can be reduced, and the dehumidification device can be included in the air conditioning part for centralized monitoring through a controller.
[0107] Figure 6 A flowchart of an air conditioning system control method provided by the embodiment Figure 1 . The method is applied to a controller, and the controller is in data connection with the air conditioning system in the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , the method comprises the following steps.
[0108] S601, acquiring indoor sensor data, outdoor sensor data, and load power curve of a service area of an air conditioning system.
[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioning system can mainly use the energy-saving optimization mode to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency ratio. Through the algorithm built in the controller, the air conditioning system is ensured to always run in the mode with the minimum Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the data center energy efficiency evaluation index.
[0110] Specifically, the service area of the air conditioning system can be an indoor space such as a data room, a power room, and a battery room.

[0123] S604, when it is detected that the water-cooled operation mode power consumption is greater than the air-cooled operation mode power consumption, the air conditioning system is controlled in the air-cooled operation mode, otherwise the air conditioning system is controlled in the water-cooled operation mode.
[0124] Specifically, the controller can determine the form of the cooling source that can make the PUE lowest through the load condition of the air conditioning terminal 310, the outdoor dry-bulb temperature and the outdoor wet-bulb temperature, and other parameters, so as to control the operation mode of the air conditioning system.
[0125] Specifically, when the controller detects that the power consumption of the air conditioning system in the water-cooled operation mode is greater than that in the air-cooled operation mode, the air conditioning system is controlled in the air-cooled operation mode, otherwise the air conditioning system is controlled in the water-cooled operation mode, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioning system, improve the energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioning system, and effectively improve the overall performance of the air conditioning system.
[0126] The air conditioning system control method provided in the embodiment first acquires indoor sensor data, outdoor sensor data and a load power curve of a service area of an air conditioning system; then determines the total refrigeration capacity required by the system according to the indoor sensor data and the circulating air volume parameter of the air conditioning terminal; then determines the water-cooled operation mode power consumption and the air-cooled operation mode power consumption under the current load according to the total refrigeration capacity required by the system, the outdoor sensor data and the load power curve; finally, when it is detected that the water-cooled operation mode power consumption is greater than the air-cooled operation mode power consumption, the air conditioning system is controlled in the air-cooled operation mode, otherwise the air conditioning system is controlled in the water-cooled operation mode.
[0127] The following technical effects are achieved: judging the form of the cold source of the air conditioning system that can make the PUE lowest through the load condition of the air conditioning terminal 310 and the outdoor dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature and other parameters, thereby controlling the operation mode of the air conditioning system, reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning system, improving the air conditioning energy efficiency ratio, and effectively improving the overall performance of the air conditioning system.
[0128] The controller can set the air conditioning supply air temperature in each room according to the room function, and when the load in the room changes, the opening degree of the expansion valve of the air conditioning terminal 310 and the rotation speed of the indoor side fan can be adjusted according to the set air conditioning supply air temperature in each room.
[0129] Further, the indoor sensor data can include air density, supply air enthalpy and return air enthalpy; and the total refrigerating capacity required by the system is determined according to the indoor sensor data and the circulating air volume parameter of the air conditioning terminal, which includes: determining the total refrigerating capacity required by the system according to the circulating air volume parameter of the air conditioning terminal, the air density, the supply air enthalpy and the return air enthalpy.
[0130] The calculation formula of the total refrigerating capacity required by the system is as follows:
[0131]
[0132] Wherein, the total refrigerating capacity required by the system, the air density, V is the circulating air volume parameter of the air conditioning terminal, the supply air enthalpy, the return air enthalpy.
[0133] Further, after determining the total refrigerating capacity required by the system according to the indoor sensor data and the circulating air volume parameter of the air conditioning terminal, the method further includes: obtaining the cooling tower surplus refrigerating capacity; when it is detected that the cooling tower surplus refrigerating capacity is greater than or equal to the total refrigerating capacity required by the system, the air conditioning system is controlled in the water cooling operation mode; or when it is detected that the cooling tower surplus refrigerating capacity is less than the total refrigerating capacity required by the system, the air conditioning system is controlled in the mixed operation mode; or when it is detected that the cooling tower surplus refrigerating capacity meets the no surplus refrigerating capacity condition, the air conditioning system is controlled in the air cooling operation mode.
[0134] Specifically, the air conditioning system in the embodiment of the application has a water cooling operation mode, an air cooling operation mode and a water cooling plus air cooling mixed operation mode, and the air cooling operation mode can be divided into a compressor operation mode, a refrigerant pump operation mode and a refrigerant pump and compressor combined operation mode. The air conditioning system can be automatically controlled to operate according to the outdoor wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature. In addition, the water cooling source and the air cooling source can back up each other to improve the stability of the air conditioning system.
[0135] The air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application can be set to two control forms of water-cooling operation mode as the main mode and energy-saving optimization.
[0136] Specifically, when the air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application mainly operates in the water-cooling mode, if the air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application shares the cooling tower 210 with the water-cooling centralized air conditioning system of the data center, when it is detected that the cooling tower has a surplus refrigerating capacity greater than or equal to the total refrigerating capacity required by the system, the controller controls the air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application in the water-cooling operation mode.
[0137] When the cooling tower of the water-cooling centralized air conditioning system of the data center has a surplus refrigerating capacity that is difficult to meet the total refrigerating capacity required by the system as the cooling load of the water-cooling centralized air conditioning system of the data center increases, the controller can control the air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application in the water-cooling and air-cooling hybrid operation mode.
[0138] If the cooling tower of the water-cooling centralized air conditioning system has no surplus refrigerating capacity, that is, the cooling tower has a surplus refrigerating capacity of 0 or a very small value, such as 5 kW, the controller can control the air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application in the air-cooling operation mode.
[0139] Further, the method further includes: obtaining water-cooling part operation data; when it is detected that the water supplement of the system does not meet the refrigerating capacity requirement, switching to the air-cooling operation mode to control the air conditioning system, and when it is detected that the outdoor sensor data is in a first temperature interval, controlling the air conditioning system in a preset refrigerant pump operation mode, or when it is detected that the outdoor sensor data is in a second temperature interval, controlling the air conditioning system in a preset parallel operation mode, or when it is detected that the outdoor sensor data is in a third temperature interval, controlling the air conditioning system in a preset compressor operation mode.
[0140] Specifically, the water-cooling part operation data refers to the water supplement data of the air conditioning system and the fault signal of the water-cooling part.
[0141] When the water supplement of the air conditioning system in the embodiments of the present application is insufficient or the water-cooling part fails, the controller can automatically switch to the air-cooling operation mode.
[0142] The outdoor sensor data can be the outdoor dry-bulb temperature. The first temperature interval can be outdoor dry-bulb temperature≤T1, the second temperature interval can be T1<outdoor dry-bulb temperature≤T2, and the third temperature interval can be outdoor dry-bulb temperature>T2.
[0143] Wherein, T1<T2, T1 is a first preset temperature, which can be 10 degrees Celsius, and T2 is a second preset temperature, which can be 20 degrees Celsius. The specific values of T1 and T2 are not limited here.
[0144] That is, when the air conditioning system is in the air-cooled operation mode, when the outdoor dry-bulb temperature is less than or equal to T1, the outdoor temperature is low enough, and the compressor 170 does not need to be started, the controller can adopt the refrigerant pump operation mode; when T1 < outdoor dry-bulb temperature < T2, the outdoor temperature rises, the controller can adopt the refrigerant pump and compressor parallel operation mode, and the refrigeration effect is ensured by partial natural cooling and partial mechanical refrigeration; when the outdoor dry-bulb temperature is greater than T2, the outdoor temperature is too high, and the compressor operation mode is adopted, and all the cooling load is borne by the compressor 170, and the conventional refrigeration state is entered.
[0145] The air conditioning system control method provided in the embodiment can automatically select a cold source to operate the air conditioning system according to the outdoor dry-bulb temperature and the outdoor wet-bulb temperature, and match the most energy-saving operation mode through the internal algorithm of the controller, so that the energy-saving purpose is achieved.
