Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of periodic regulation of air conditioning units, and particularly relates to an air conditioning unit regulation method and system with dynamically variable regulation period. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of air conditioning unit operation control, ensuring stable and efficient operation of the unit to meet the environmental regulation requirements under different working conditions is the core goal of regulation. In the operation control of air conditioning units, fixed period regulation to adapt to changes in the working conditions of air conditioning units is a common feature of most current regulation strategies. However, this regulation mode has exposed many problems in practical application: Firstly, in air conditioning units, the compressor is a core component, and its frequency regulation plays a key role in accurately controlling water temperature and meeting different load requirements. Currently, the common compressor frequency regulation method is usually based on water temperature PID control, and one or several fixed speeds are used to gradually adjust the unit load according to the pre-set fixed period of time, thereby realizing water temperature control. This regulation method is theoretically reasonable in that it avoids the impact on the unit caused by sudden changes in frequency by gradually adjusting the compressor frequency. However, in practical application, overloading or over-reducing frequently occurs. This is mainly due to the lack of flexibility of the fixed speed and fixed period regulation method, which cannot timely and accurately adjust the frequency according to the actual water temperature changes. When the water temperature changes rapidly, the fixed regulation speed and period cannot keep up with the water temperature change rhythm, resulting in over-regulation or under-regulation, and thus causing water temperature fluctuations, affecting the refrigeration or heating effect of the air conditioning system, and also increasing energy consumption and wear of the unit.

[0003] Secondly, in the control of electronic expansion valves, PID control with a fixed period is also generally used. Due to the hysteresis of expansion valve regulation, it takes a longer time to have corresponding changes compared with other control methods such as liquid level and suction superheat. This makes the exhaust gas superheat fluctuate greatly, and although the air conditioning unit can operate normally without alarm, its stability is very poor.

[0004] Thirdly, in the field of fan regulation control, fixed period time is also commonly used to increase or decrease frequency or approach calculation regulation. To avoid repeated regulation of the fan frequency, the regulation period is usually fixed to a large value. When the air conditioning unit has special conditions such as rapid rise of high pressure, the fan frequency cannot be adjusted in time within one regulation period, which easily causes alarm.

At the same time, the dynamically variable period control can also reduce the operation burden of the control system, improve the overall control performance, and realize the optimal operation of the air conditioning unit under different working conditions.

[0043] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 The regulation and control method further comprises: S1: obtaining the actual value of the operation parameter representing the current operation state of the air conditioning unit, and obtaining the first control parameter based on the actual value of the operation parameter.

[0044] S2: based on the first control parameter, the latest regulation period is calculated by using a preset regulation formula.

[0045] In this embodiment, the regulation and control method further comprises the fastest regulation period and the slowest regulation period related to the operation parameter. When the latest regulation period is less than the fastest regulation period, the operation of the air conditioning unit is regulated according to the fastest regulation period; when the latest regulation period is greater than the slowest regulation period, the operation of the air conditioning unit is regulated according to the slowest regulation period, that is: S21: determining whether the latest regulation period is less than the fastest regulation period, if yes, jumping to step S22, if no, jumping to step S23.

[0048] S24: regulating the operation of the air conditioning unit according to the slowest regulation period, and jumping to step S4.

[0049] Specifically, the above regulation formula is:

[0050] Where T is the latest adjustment cycle, k is the first adjustment coefficient corresponding to the operating parameters, b is the second adjustment coefficient corresponding to the operating parameters, and x is the first control parameter; The formula for calculating the first adjustment coefficient k is:

[0051] in, The first threshold value is a preset value related to the first control parameter. This is the first period threshold related to the adjustment period, corresponding to the first threshold. The second threshold is a preset value related to the first control parameter. This is the second cycle threshold related to the adjustment cycle, corresponding to the second threshold. The formula for calculating the second adjustment coefficient b is:

[0052] Among them, when The threshold for the first period hour, The first threshold ,when The threshold for the second period hour, The second threshold .

[0053] Specifically, see Figure 3 As shown, the following will elaborate on how the latest adjustment cycle is calculated in this control method from three aspects: the outlet water temperature and / or inlet water temperature of the chilled water pump in the air conditioning unit (corresponding to the adjustment cycle and control of the compressor and chilled water pump), the exhaust superheat (corresponding to the cycle and control of the expansion valve), and the condensing temperature (corresponding to the adjustment cycle and control of the condenser fan). (a) Calculation of the latest adjustment cycle of the compressor When the operating parameters are the outlet water temperature and / or inlet water temperature of the chilled water pump in the air conditioning unit, they correspond to the calculation of the latest adjustment cycle of the compressor. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 4 As shown, the calculation steps for the latest adjustment cycle used to regulate compression include: SA1: Calculate the water temperature deviation value based on the actual value of the current outlet water temperature and the preset target outlet water temperature, or: Calculate the water temperature deviation value based on the actual value of the current inlet water temperature and the preset target inlet water temperature.

[0054] In the present example, when one of the obtained operating parameters is the outlet water temperature or the inlet water temperature, a water temperature deviation value is calculated based on the actual value and the preset target value of the outlet water temperature or the inlet water temperature, and if both of the operating parameters are included, the calculation of the water temperature deviation value is performed by selecting one of them. It is worth mentioning that the deviation value herein generally refers to the difference between the actual value and the target value.

[0055] SA2: Based on the water temperature deviation value, a first control parameter is calculated by a preset water temperature control formula.

[0056] SA3: Based on the first control parameter and a regulation formula, a latest regulation period for regulating the compressor in the air conditioning unit is calculated.

[0057] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first control parameter in the period calculation step of the compressor is the PID value of the outlet water temperature or the return water temperature, and the water temperature control formula for calculating the PID value is:

[0058] wherein t represents the time t, u(t) is the first control parameter at time t, e(t) is the water temperature deviation value at time t, is a preset first control coefficient, is a preset second control coefficient, is a preset third control coefficient. In the present embodiment, the first control coefficient , the second control coefficient and the third control coefficient are set based on the actual use conditions such as the size of the air conditioning unit, and the PID value is usually selected in the range of [-1000, 1000].

[0059] Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 5 Further, before calculating the first control parameter, an update condition of the latest regulation period of the compressor is further included, which is specifically: SA1: Based on the actual value of the current outlet water temperature and the preset target outlet water temperature, a water temperature deviation value is calculated, or: based on the actual value of the current inlet water temperature and the preset target inlet water temperature, a water temperature deviation value is calculated.

[0060] SA11: It is judged whether the absolute value of the water temperature deviation value is greater than a preset water temperature deviation threshold value, if yes, it is jumped to step SA2, if not, it is returned to step SA1. In the present embodiment, the water temperature deviation threshold value is preferably 0.5, and can be further adjusted to 0.3.

[0061] The following takes a specific embodiment as an example to explain the calculation step of the latest regulation period of the compressor, which is specifically: Table 1: Parameter setting table of the latest regulation period of the compressor

[0062] (1) When the PID value is less than or equal to the "start to execute the load reduction PID value" (preferably -150), the load reduction is started to be executed, and after the load reduction is completed, if the PID value is between the "start to execute the load reduction PID value" and the "start to execute the load PID value" (preferably 150), the current frequency and the adjustment period are maintained; if the PID value is less than the "start to execute the load reduction PID value", the load reduction is continuously executed.

[0063] In the load reduction process, the "start to execute the load reduction PID value" is taken as the first threshold value, the "slowest adjustment period" corresponding to the first threshold value is taken as the first period threshold value, the "minimum value of the PID value" is taken as the second threshold value, the "fastest adjustment period" corresponding to the second threshold value is taken as the second period threshold value, and the calculation formula of the first adjustment coefficient k and the second adjustment coefficient b is obtained.

[0064]

[0065] The adjustment formula in the load reduction process of the compressor is:

[0066] Suppose that the current first control parameter (PID value) is -300, the above formula is substituted to obtain that in the current load reduction process, the latest adjustment period is about 17.4s.

[0067] (2) When the PID value is greater than or equal to the "start to execute the load PID value" (preferably 150), the load is started to be executed, and after the load is completed, if the PID value is between the "start to execute the load reduction PID value" and the "start to execute the load PID value", the current frequency and the adjustment period are maintained; if the PID value is greater than 150, the load is continuously executed.

[0068] In the load process, the "start to execute the load PID value" is taken as the first threshold value, the "slowest adjustment period" corresponding to the first threshold value is taken as the first period threshold value, the "maximum value of the PID value" is taken as the second threshold value, the "fastest adjustment period" corresponding to the second threshold value is taken as the second period threshold value, and the calculation formula of the first adjustment coefficient k and the second adjustment coefficient b is obtained.

[0069]

[0070] The adjustment formula in the load process of the compressor is:

[0071] Suppose the current first control parameter (PID value) is 300, and substitute it into the above formula to calculate the latest adjustment period of the expansion valve in the current loading process, which is about 22.4s.

[0072] (II) Calculation of the latest adjustment period of the expansion valve Referring to Figure 6 When the operating parameter is the exhaust gas superheat degree, the calculation steps of the latest adjustment period include: SB1: Based on the actual value of the current exhaust gas superheat degree and the preset target exhaust gas superheat degree, the exhaust gas superheat degree deviation value is calculated, and the absolute value of the exhaust gas superheat degree deviation value is the first control parameter.

[0073] SB2: Based on the first control parameter and the adjustment formula, the latest adjustment period of the expansion valve for regulating the air conditioning unit is calculated.

[0074] Further, the calculation formula of the exhaust gas superheat degree is:

[0075] Where t represents t time, u(t) is the actual value of the exhaust gas superheat degree at t time, is the exhaust gas temperature at t time, is the saturation temperature at t time, which is obtained according to the current exhaust gas pressure.

[0076] The following takes a specific embodiment as an example to illustrate the calculation steps of the latest adjustment period of the expansion valve, specifically: Table 2: Latest adjustment period parameter setting table of the expansion valve

[0077] Taking the "first control parameter minimum value" as the first threshold value, the corresponding "expansion valve slowest adjustment period" is the first period threshold value, and taking the "first control parameter maximum value" as the second threshold value, the corresponding "expansion valve fastest adjustment period" is the second period threshold value. Substituting the calculation formula of the first adjustment coefficient k and the second adjustment coefficient b, we get:

[0078]

[0079] The adjustment formula is:

[0080] Suppose the current first control parameter is 3.5, and substitute it into the above formula to calculate the latest adjustment period of the expansion valve, which is about 3.9s.

[0081] (III) Calculation of the latest adjustment period of the condenser fan Referring to Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 2, when the operating parameter is the condensing temperature, the calculation steps of the latest adjustment period include: SC1: based on the actual value of the current condensing temperature and the preset target condensing temperature, a condensing temperature deviation value is calculated, and the absolute value of the condensing temperature deviation value is the first control parameter.

[0082] SC2: based on the first control parameter and the adjustment formula, the latest adjustment period for regulating the condenser fan of the air conditioning unit is calculated.

[0083] The following takes a specific example to illustrate the calculation steps of the latest adjustment period for the expansion valve, specifically: Table 3: Latest adjustment period parameter setting table for condenser fan

[0084] Taking the "first control parameter minimum value" as the first threshold value, its corresponding "condenser fan slowest adjustment period" is the first period threshold value, and taking the "first control parameter maximum value" as the second threshold value, its corresponding "condenser fan fastest adjustment period" is the second period threshold value, and substituting the calculation formula of the first adjustment coefficient k and the second adjustment coefficient b, that is:

[0085]

[0086] The adjustment formula is:

[0087] Assuming that the current first control parameter is 5, substituting the above formula, the latest adjustment period of the expansion valve can be calculated to be about 5.2s.

[0088] (Four) Calculation of the latest adjustment period for the refrigeration pump Referring to Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 2, when the operating parameter is the condensing temperature, the calculation steps of the latest adjustment period include: SD1: based on the actual value of the current condensing temperature and the preset target condensing temperature, a condensing temperature deviation value is calculated, and the absolute value of the condensing temperature deviation value is the first control parameter.

[0089] SD2: based on the target outlet water temperature and the target inlet water temperature, a target value of the inlet and outlet water temperature difference is calculated.

[0090] SD3: based on the actual value and the target value of the inlet and outlet water temperature difference, a deviation value of the inlet and outlet water temperature difference is calculated, and the absolute value of the deviation value of the inlet and outlet water temperature difference is the first control parameter.

[0091] SD4: based on the first control parameter and the adjustment formula, the latest adjustment period for regulating the refrigeration pump is calculated.

[0092] The following specific embodiment illustrates the calculation steps for the latest adjustment cycle of the chilled pump, specifically: Table 4 Latest Adjustment Cycle Parameter Setting Table for Refrigeration Pumps

[0093] Using the minimum value of the first control parameter as the first threshold, and its corresponding slowest adjustment cycle of the chiller pump as the first cycle threshold, and then using the maximum value of the first control parameter as the second threshold, and its corresponding fastest adjustment cycle of the chiller pump as the second cycle threshold, substituting these values ​​into the calculation formulas for the first control coefficient k and the second control coefficient b, we obtain:

[0094]

[0095] The adjustment formula is:

[0096] Assuming the current first control parameter is 3, substituting it into the above formula, the latest adjustment cycle of the expansion valve can be calculated to be approximately 7.5s.

[0097] Furthermore, since the operation of the refrigeration pump and the compressor are closely related, their adjustment cycles are often considered together in practice. (See [reference needed]). Figure 9 As shown, the control methods for refrigeration pumps also include: SD5: Based on the latest adjustment cycle used to regulate the compressor and the latest adjustment cycle used to regulate the refrigeration pump, the final adjustment cycle of the refrigeration pump is calculated using a preset formula for the final adjustment cycle of the refrigeration pump.

[0098] SD6: Regulates the chilled pump based on its final adjustment cycle.

[0099] The formula for the final adjustment cycle of the refrigeration pump is:

[0100] in, To be used to adjust the latest adjustment cycle of the compressor, The preset compressor influence coefficient, To adjust the latest adjustment cycle of the refrigeration pump, This is the final adjustment cycle for the refrigeration pump. When the compressor is loaded, the refrigeration pump is also loaded, and the compressor influence coefficient is preferably 65%; when the compressor is unloaded, the refrigeration pump is also unloaded, and the compressor influence coefficient is preferably 25%.

[0101] It should be noted that in the above four embodiments, the purposes of taking the "fastest adjustment period" and "slowest adjustment period" as the first period threshold and the second period threshold are only for better illustration effect, and the actual "first threshold", "second threshold", "first period threshold" and "second period threshold" can be any two points on the mathematical model of the adjustment formula. When the calculated latest adjustment period is greater than the "slowest adjustment period" or is less than the "fastest adjustment period", the selection judgment is made based on the method shown in the formula (1).
