[0015] In a specific embodiment, the specific process of the data acquisition module is as follows: the data acquisition module comprises a temperature sensing unit, a pressure and distance sensing unit and a data transmission unit.

[0016] The temperature sensing unit: one set of micro temperature sensors is installed at the inlet, outlet and middle part of each parallel pipeline to acquire water temperature in each parallel pipeline in real time; ambient temperature sensors are installed around to acquire real-time ambient temperature; a temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the solar collector to acquire inlet water temperature of hot water.

[0018] The data transmission unit: a wireless communication module is used to upload the acquired water temperature, inlet water temperature, ambient temperature and pipeline water pressure data to the data analysis module in real time.

[0019] It should be noted that the micro temperature sensor: a temperature detection element with small size, suitable for pipeline installation space, which accurately acquires real-time water temperature at different parts of the pipeline.

[0020] Parallel pipeline: a pipeline collection with multiple pipelines arranged in parallel in the solar water heating system, one end of each pipeline is connected to the outlet of the solar collector, and the other end converges to the water end. Due to differences in layout and exposure environment, water temperature is not uniform, which is the core object of system regulation and control.

[0022] Data analysis module: used to calculate heat loss by heat loss model, and determine the optimal water flow channel and valve opening degree by combining shunt decision algorithm.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, the specific process of the data analysis module is as follows: the water temperature, inlet water temperature, ambient temperature and pipeline water pressure data in each parallel pipeline are preprocessed.

[0024] Based on the heat loss model, the pipeline water temperature, ambient temperature, pipeline length and water flow related parameters after preprocessing are substituted to calculate the heat loss of each parallel pipeline.

[0025] The shunt decision algorithm is executed to calculate the difference between the water temperature in each parallel pipeline and the inlet water temperature, and the priority water flow channel with recoverable waste heat is screened out.

[0026] The pipeline length, ambient temperature and pipeline water pressure data are used to adjust the valve opening degree according to the water flow priority of each parallel pipeline.

[0027] It should be noted that the data preprocessing: the collected water temperature, inlet water temperature, ambient temperature and pipeline water pressure raw data of each parallel pipeline are processed, including eliminating abnormal sensor fluctuation data, correcting data deviation and smoothing data fluctuation, and eliminating invalid data interference.

[0028] Heat loss model: a preset mathematical calculation model for quantifying pipeline energy loss, combined with the preprocessed water temperature, inlet water temperature, ambient temperature, pipeline water pressure data and water flow related parameters of each parallel pipeline, the conduction heat loss and flow heat loss of the pipeline are accurately split and calculated, and finally the total heat loss of the single pipeline is output.

[0029] Shunt decision algorithm: by calculating the difference between the water temperature in each parallel pipeline and the inlet water temperature, combined with the heat loss and pipeline data, the pipelines with waste heat recovery value are screened and sorted, and finally the optimal water flow channel sequence and the water flow priority of each pipeline are determined.

[0030] The difference between the water temperature and the inlet water temperature: the difference between the water temperature in a single parallel pipeline and the outlet hot water inlet temperature of the solar collector.

[0031] Recoverable waste heat: the heat corresponding to the part of the pipeline where the water temperature is higher than the inlet water temperature.

[0032] Priority water flow channel: the pipeline set with recoverable waste heat and high priority selected by the shunt decision algorithm.

[0033] Preferably, the specific process of calculating the heat loss of each parallel pipeline is: the total heat loss of each parallel pipeline includes the heat loss of pipeline conduction and the heat loss of water flow, and the formula is as follows: , wherein, is the total heat loss of each parallel pipeline, is the wall surface conduction heat loss of each parallel pipeline, is the heat loss carried by the water flow in each parallel pipeline.

[0034] The calculation process of the wall surface conduction heat loss of each parallel pipeline is as follows: first, the water temperature and ambient temperature in each parallel pipeline are marked as and , the temperature difference between the water temperature and the ambient temperature in each parallel pipeline is calculated: , and the temperature difference between the water temperature and the ambient temperature in each parallel pipeline is obtained.

[0035] Obtain the thermal conductivity, heat dissipation area, and water residence time of each parallel pipe, and label these parameters as follows: , and Substituting into the heat loss formula: This yields the amount of conductive heat loss generated by a single pipe exchanging heat with the environment through its wall.

[0036] Heat loss carried by water flowing in parallel pipes The calculation process is as follows: Obtain the water mass flow rate, water velocity, outlet water temperature of each parallel pipe, and specific heat capacity of water. Label the water mass flow rate, water velocity, outlet water temperature of each parallel pipe, and specific heat capacity of water as follows: , , and Calculate the mass flow rate of the water flow: ; Calculate the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water of each parallel pipe: .

[0037] Substituting into the flow heat loss formula: This yields the amount of heat loss carried by the water during its transport within each parallel pipe.

[0038] It should be noted that the thermal conductivity and heat dissipation area of ​​each parallel pipe are obtained from the pipe instruction manual. Obtaining the water flow residence time: Water flow residence time = end time - start time, that is, the time interval from when the water flow first falls below the preset threshold to when the flow completely stops, which is the water flow residence time in the pipe.

[0039] Obtaining water mass flow rate, water velocity, and outlet water temperature of each parallel pipe: Water mass flow rate can be acquired by a water flow sensor, water velocity can be acquired by a flow meter, and outlet water temperature of each parallel pipe can be acquired by a temperature sensor.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the specific process of calculating the difference between the water temperature in each parallel pipe and the inlet water temperature to screen out the priority water flow channels for waste heat recovery is as follows: obtain the real-time water temperature, inlet water temperature, ambient temperature and pipe water pressure data of each parallel pipe to form a basic dataset for screening, and calculate the difference between the water temperature in each parallel pipe and the inlet water temperature as the water temperature difference of each parallel pipe.

[0041] Extract the water temperature difference, water temperature and circulation efficiency coefficient of each parallel pipe from the historical cycle records.

[0042] The water temperature difference in the selected historical cycle is the same as the water temperature difference of each parallel pipeline in the current cycle, and each historical cycle is selected as a reference cycle.

[0043] The priority coefficient of each parallel pipeline is calculated by using the cycle efficiency coefficient of each reference cycle corresponding to the water temperature in each parallel pipeline.

[0044] The priority coefficient greater than the preset priority coefficient threshold is selected as the priority water flow channel of the recoverable waste heat.

[0045] It should be noted that the preset priority coefficient threshold is a critical value for judging whether the priority coefficient meets the standard, which is set by professionals according to the recovery demand, and the specific numerical limit is not performed here.

[0046] The data monitoring module is used to regulate the calculated valve opening, and real-time monitoring of core data is performed during the regulation process, and the cycle effect is judged according to the monitoring result.

[0048] The valve opening value corresponding to the priority type of the valve opening of each parallel pipeline is extracted from the database, and the valve opening value corresponding to the priority type of the valve opening of each parallel pipeline is the valve opening of the pipeline.

[0049] It should be noted that the valve opening value corresponding to the priority: the priority type-valve opening quantitative corresponding value pre-stored in the system database, such as high priority corresponding to valve opening 90%-100%, medium priority corresponding to valve opening 50%-60%, and low priority corresponding to valve opening 30%-40%.

[0050] The priority type-valve opening quantitative corresponding value pre-stored in the system database is set according to the demand, which can be manually adjusted, and the specific numerical limit is not performed here.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the specific process of regulating the calculated valve opening is: according to the priority of the pipeline, the initial valve opening is output according to the pre-stored priority-opening interval, the high priority takes the interval value of 90%-100%, the medium priority takes the interval value of 50%-60%, and the low priority takes the interval value of 30%-40%.

[0052] Then, the actual water flow status of each parallel pipe is monitored in real time by flow sensors, and the deviation value of the target flow is obtained based on the priority of each parallel monitoring pipe.

[0053] Set a proportional coefficient; the valve opening adjustment amount = the deviation of the target flow rate × the proportional coefficient. If the flow rate is lower than the target value, increase the valve opening by the adjustment amount; if the flow rate is higher than the target value, decrease the valve opening by the adjustment amount.

[0054] It should be noted that the actual water flow status is the water flow operation data collected in real time by the flow sensor inside the pipeline.

[0056] Deviation of target flow rate: The quantitative difference calculated by subtracting the target flow rate from the actual flow rate directly reflects the degree of deviation between the actual flow rate and the ideal state: a negative difference indicates insufficient flow rate, a positive difference indicates excessive flow rate, and a difference of 0 indicates normal flow rate.

[0057] Set the proportional coefficient: Based on the pipeline priority type, set the proportional coefficient as follows: High priority pipelines: set the basic proportional coefficient to 0.2-0.3 to prioritize the rapid correction of flow deviations and avoid loss of high-value waste heat; Medium priority pipelines: set the basic proportional coefficient to 0.15-0.25 to balance sensitivity and stability, and take into account waste heat recovery and energy consumption; Low priority pipelines: set the basic proportional coefficient to 0.05-0.15 to focus on stability and avoid the adjustment of low-value pipelines from affecting the overall system balance.

[0058] Valve opening adjustment amount: The valve opening adjustment range is calculated by multiplying the deviation of the target flow rate by a proportional coefficient.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the process of real-time monitoring of core data during the control process is as follows: real-time monitoring of flow rate, velocity, and total heat loss of a single pipe at each moment during the control process and completion of preprocessing.

[0060] Traffic data analysis and calculation process: Extract traffic data intervals from the database, and denote the traffic data and traffic data intervals at each time point as follows: and , Numbering each moment. For positive integers, the formula for analyzing flow data coefficients is: ,in, This represents the flow rate coefficient at each time point.

[0061] according to The analysis mode is that the flow rate data coefficient and the single pipe total heat loss data coefficient at each time are analyzed.

[0062] The flow rate data coefficient, the flow rate data coefficient and the single pipe total heat loss data coefficient at each time are averaged, and the calculation result is used as the effect value at each time, and then the circulation effect is judged according to the monitoring result.
