Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchanger design, in particular to an ORC heat exchanger optimization design method and system based on deep learning. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a core device for realizing efficient energy transfer, heat exchangers play an important role in the field of low-grade heat recovery. Plate heat exchangers (PHE) have been widely used in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power generation systems due to their compact structure and convenient disassembly and washing. However, the existing PHEs face the following problems in the actual design process:

[0003] In actual engineering, the design data of plate heat exchangers often depends on field testing or small batch simulation. Due to the high cost of testing and the difficulty of simulating extreme conditions, the sample size available for modeling is generally small, and the sample distribution is uneven. This data gap directly leads to overfitting of traditional deep learning models during training, and the generalization ability decreases sharply when facing unseen conditions, resulting in a sharp increase in prediction errors of key performance indicators such as heat transfer efficiency and fluid pressure drop. It cannot provide reliable support for design in different scenarios. At the same time, ORC systems involve phase change heat transfer of working fluids, and the samples generated by traditional data augmentation methods often violate the basic laws of thermodynamics.

[0004] At the same time, the weak data foundation also makes it difficult for the prediction model to balance accuracy and universality. In actual design, there is often a dilemma: while computational fluid dynamics simulation can accurately simulate the flow field and heat transfer characteristics, the single-condition calculation time usually exceeds 4 hours, making it inefficient when facing multiple working conditions and multiple working conditions. Design requirements; relying on empirical formulas can quickly calculate, but the formulas are mostly based on specific working conditions, and once the working condition parameters deviate from the applicable range, the prediction accuracy will decrease by more than 10%; conventional neural network models can balance speed and accuracy, but they do not incorporate thermal physical laws and are prone to output results that violate basic principles. These unreasonable design schemes will cause energy waste and even equipment failure in actual manufacturing and operation.

[0005] In the multi-objective optimization link, plate heat exchanger design needs to consider cost, performance, and environmental protection as three types of objectives, and also needs to meet the constraint requirements in the industry specifications. Commonly used genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and other algorithms, when dealing with such multi-constrained and multi-objective problems, not only need more than 300 iterations to converge, prolonging the design cycle, but also are prone to local optimization, making it difficult to achieve multi-objective collaborative optimization, and cannot adapt to the design priority in different scenarios.

[0006] In summary, the problems of the prior art are not single-link defects, but systematic short boards in the whole process of data, prediction and optimization, which have become the key to restricting the efficient application of plate heat exchangers in low-grade heat utilization in multiple scenarios.

[0187] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the original data source and pretreatment:

[0188] a. Original data composition: 200 groups of measured data are calculated by plate evaporator physical model.

[0189] b. Variable mapping: input variables m cold、 m hot、 T cold, in、 T hot, in , and output variables are T cold, out、 T hot, out、 Q 、 η;

[0190] c. Data cleaning: 8 groups of abnormal samples (such as Q<0, η>100%, ΔP>20kPa) are eliminated, 192 groups of effective original samples are reserved, the mean μ and standard deviation σ of input and output variables are calculated, and are used for subsequent standardization.

[0191] Data enhancement specific operation:

[0192] Four enhancement methods were employed to expand the sample size. In noise injection, the noise level δ was set to 3%. In scaling transformation, the scaling factors were set to 0.95, 0.98, 1.02, and 1.05. In linear interpolation, the number of interpolation points n was set to 5 to balance data density and computational cost. In feature engineering, the number of derived features was set to 5. Then, the SMOTE technique was applied to balance the data, and the training and test sets were divided in an 8:2 ratio.

[0193] Enhanced data quality verification:

[0194] a. Standardization: Standardize all samples to ensure that the input variables have consistent dimensions;

[0195] b. Sample size: The final effective augmented sample set was 1767 groups, and 28 abnormal 3σ samples were removed. The samples were divided into 1414 groups for training and 353 groups for testing in an 8:2 ratio.

[0196] c. Distribution verification: Plot the input variable m cold and T hot, in Histograms of output variables Q and η, with m selected for extreme operating conditions. cold <0.3kg / s The sample proportion increased from 4.2% to 7.8%, and the sample distribution entropy value H=1.92, which satisfies the condition of ≥1.8, thus the distribution is judged to be uniform.

[0197] d. Physical consistency: All samples were thermodynamically verified, with Q equilibrium error ≤3%, η∈(0, 100%), ΔP∈(0, 15kPa).

[0198] The final distribution comparison chart of the core parameters after data augmentation is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the heatmap of the design variable correlation matrix in this embodiment is as follows. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the enhanced data distribution is more extensive, and the overall data remains evenly distributed. Furthermore, the heatmap of the correlation matrix of design variables provides a clear and intuitive understanding of the relationships between the design variables, offering decision-makers a clear and intuitive reference.

[0199] Furthermore, in step S2, the key input features for screening the validated data samples include:

[0200] Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between all candidate features and the target parameter, and retain the correlation coefficients whose absolute values ​​|r| are higher than a preset threshold.

[0201] The selected set of key features must include the core parameter reflecting the flow characteristics of the working fluid, namely, the cold-side working fluid flow rate m. cold Hot side fluid flow rate (m) hot Temperature parameters: working fluid inlet temperature T cold, in, hot side inlet temperature T hot, in , and the key geometric parameters of the heat exchanger structure, including the plate wave inclination angle β, the plate length L, and the plate width W;

[0202] The newly derived features derived by the feature engineering method will be selectively included according to their actual contribution to the target parameter.

[0203] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Pearson correlation coefficient is calculated according to the following formula:

[0204] (27) ;

[0205] Where x is the input feature variable, including the original sample parameters in claim 1 and the derived features in claim 2, namely: cold working fluid flow, hot side fluid flow, working fluid inlet temperature, hot side inlet temperature, inlet temperature difference, working fluid temperature rise, hot measuring temperature drop, flow ratio, and heat capacity ratio; n = 9 is the sample size; y is the target parameter variable, including operating cost, heat transfer efficiency, and environmental impact factor.

[0206] The key feature selection rule in S2 is: first, calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between all candidate features and the target parameter, and retain the features with an absolute value of the correlation coefficient |r| higher than a preset threshold, which is set to be between 0.5 and 0.7. In the selected key feature set, the core parameters reflecting the working fluid flow characteristics, such as the cold working fluid flow m cold , hot side fluid flow m hot , temperature parameters working fluid inlet temperature T cold, in , hot side inlet temperature T hot, in , and the key geometric parameters of the heat exchanger structure, including the plate wave inclination angle β, the plate length L, and the plate width W, must be included. In addition, the newly derived features derived by the feature engineering method, including but not limited to inlet temperature difference, working fluid temperature rise, hot side temperature drop, flow ratio, and heat capacity ratio, will also be selectively included according to their actual contribution to the target parameter. All retained features have undergone strict engineering verification and correlation analysis to confirm that they have a significant impact on the target parameter and the collinearity between features is within an acceptable range, to ensure the stability and prediction accuracy of the model training. At the same time, the key feature dimension needs to be ≤10 to balance the feature extraction ability and training efficiency of the PINN model in step S4 of claim 1, and to avoid overfitting due to high dimension.

[0207] The key features selected in S2 are directly used as the input layer variables of the PINN model in step S4 of claim 1, and the input layer dimension is consistent with the number of key features.

[0208] The triggering condition of the SMOTE technology in S3 is that the proportion of working condition samples in the sample category in claim 1 is less than 10%, and the difference in the proportion of samples in each category is greater than or equal to 30%.

[0209] The formula for synthesizing samples in S3 using the SMOTE technology is:

[0210] (28);

[0211] wherein x is a randomly selected sample in the minority class; x' is the k1 nearest neighbor sample of x, k1 is the number of neighbors, and k1=5 is taken according to industrial conventions, so as to balance the authenticity and diversity of the synthesized samples; and ξ is a random number in the interval [0, 1], which can simulate the continuous change of samples while avoiding jumping abnormalities.

[0212] The synthesized samples in S3 using the SMOTE technology need to meet the following conditions after synthesis: the difference in the proportion of samples in each category is less than or equal to 15%, ensuring that the data distribution is balanced and not distorted, and the feature distribution is consistent with the original sample; at the same time, the synthesized samples need to be physically verified by the plate heat exchanger heat transfer model in claim 1, and physically abnormal samples are removed.

[0213] After the data set is divided according to 9:1, 8:2 or 7:3 based on stratified sampling in S3, the number of training set samples is ensured to be much larger than the number of test set samples to meet the PINN model convergence requirement, to ensure that the model can fully learn the feature mapping relationship, to reduce the overfitting risk of the PINN model, and to improve the generalization ability of the model to extreme working conditions.

[0214] Further, in step S4, the physical information neural network model constructed includes:

[0215] Model structure: a fully connected neural network is adopted, the input layer is closed with built-in normalization function, 3 layers of hidden layers are set, each layer contains 128 neurons; the number is set based on the nonlinear mapping requirement of the heat transfer process, and it is verified by experiments that it can balance the fitting ability and calculation efficiency, and the hidden layer activation function uses tanh, which can enhance the learning ability of complex relationships of temperature, flow and other parameters; the output layer has a dimension of 4, corresponding to the core performance indicators to be predicted;

[0216] Training configuration: the model training adopts the Adam optimizer with default configuration to ensure the stability of training, the initial learning rate is 10 - ³, the batch size is determined to be 64, 128, 256 and the like based on the balance between memory capacity and gradient convergence, and the total number of iterations is greater than or equal to 2000 rounds to ensure that the model fully learns the feature mapping;

[0217] Convergence criterion: the original loss is smoothed by using a 50-round moving average loss to reduce fluctuation interference, and when the loss change is less than or equal to 1x10⁻6 When the model converges.

[0218] Hyperparameter search: Grid search on the physical loss weight λ Q , λ η with range {0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0}, pretrain for 50 epochs, the best combination is λ Q = 0.1, λ η = 0.1, because it corresponds to the minimum validation loss, 24761.0566;

[0219] Loss function construction (PINN core): the total loss is the sum of data loss and physical loss, the formula is as follows:

[0220] (29);

[0221] Where, L data is the data loss, λ Q , λ η is the physical loss weight, L Q , Lη is the physical loss, is the total loss function;

[0222] Data loss (MSE):

[0223] (30);

[0224] Where, is the normalized predicted output value, Y n is the real label value after standardization processing;

[0225] Heat transfer amount physical loss:

[0226] (31);

[0227] Where, is the normalized predicted heat transfer output value, Q phys is the real heat transfer after standardization processing;

[0228] Efficiency physical loss:

[0229] (32);

[0230] Where, is the normalized predicted efficiency output value, η phys is the real efficiency after standardization processing

[0231] The PINN model parameters are set as follows: the input layer dimension is consistent with the number of key features, taking 10 as the value; the number of hidden layers is 3, each layer has 128 neurons, the activation function is hyperbolic tangent activation function tanh, and the output layer dimension is 4; the optimizer uses Adam, the initial learning rate is 1x10 -3 , the batch size is 64, and the total number of iterations is 2000 rounds.

[0232] Model training and test results:

[0233] a. Training parameters: Adam optimizer, learning rate 10 -3 , batch size 64, total number of iterations 2000 rounds, print loss value every 200 rounds, 50 rounds moving average smoothing loss;

[0234] b. Training convergence: the 1820th round reaches convergence, the final training loss = 19777.0254, the 50-round moving average loss = 24761.0566, and the loss curve has no obvious shock;

[0235] c. Test set accuracy: input the test set into PINN, output destandardization, calculate the RMSE and R² of each output variable: the R² of heat transfer power Q is 0.989, and the R² of heat transfer oil outlet temperature is 0.987, and the model fitting effect is good.

[0236] The fitting curve of the PINN model prediction value and the true value is shown in Figure 5 , and the training loss curve is shown in Figure 6 .

[0237] Model performance comparison:

[0238] The embedding of physical constraints including energy conservation Q constraint and efficiency η constraint is the core of PINN model that distinguishes it from traditional neural networks. Without physical constraints, the model can fit the regular working condition data, but it is easy to output results that violate the heat working rules; while the model with constraints can force the prediction value to fit the heat transfer model rules through the gradient back propagation of the physical term in the loss function, not only the core index R² is improved to more than 0.98, but also the prediction error in extreme working conditions is controlled within 3%, providing a reliable performance evaluation basis for subsequent optimization. Compared with the traditional neural network model, the PINN model improves the convergence speed by 15.3%, the core index accuracy by 7.7%-8.7%, the generalization ability by 64.7%, and the loss stability by 60%, completely avoiding physical distortion. The comparison of η and Q trend when the heat source flow changes between the traditional neural network model and the PINN model is shown in Figure 9 、 10 .

[0239] Further, in step S5, a multi-objective co-evolutionary optimization algorithm is employed to generate a Pareto front within the constraint range of the core structure parameters of the plate heat exchanger, with the objectives of minimizing the total annual cost, minimizing the environmental impact factor, and maximizing the heat transfer efficiency, the multi-objective co-evolutionary optimization algorithm achieving multi-objective co-evolution through a sub-population migration mechanism based on forward distance.

[0240] Optimization objectives and decision variable constraints:

[0241] a. Optimization objectives (three-objective coordination): Minimize total annual cost (TAC): including equipment depreciation and operating electricity cost, formula as follows:

[0242] (33) ;

[0243] In the formula: A act = actual heat transfer area, cost area = 1500 yuan / m 2 , life = 10 years, Q vol = volume flow, η pump = 0.7, t op = 8000 h / year, price elec = 0.6 yuan / kWh;

[0249] MPCMO algorithm parameters and iteration process:

[0250] The MPCMO algorithm used in this embodiment realizes multi-objective collaborative evolution through an adaptive migration mechanism based on forward distance. The core lies in quantifying the evolutionary potential of each sub-population using forward distance, and then guiding the migration of individuals and resource allocation between populations. Specifically, forward distance FD i is calculated by statistically analyzing the improvement trend of the objective function in the historical window R=10 generations, effectively identifying the sub-population with strong evolutionary dynamics. Migration is triggered periodically with a probability p mig =0.1, and individuals with high FD values are preferentially selected as migration sources to ensure efficient flow of good evolutionary information between sub-populations. This mechanism enables the algorithm to adaptively balance the optimization process of different objectives, thereby obtaining a high-quality and uniformly distributed Pareto solution set in fewer generations.

[0251] a. Core parameters: sub-population number M=3 (corresponding to 3 objectives), sub-population size N s =30, external archive size N A =100, maximum number of iterations max Gen =500, crossover probability p CR =1.0, mutation factor F=0.5, migration probability p mig =0.1, historical window R=10, used to calculate forward distance FD; its calculation formula is:

[0252] b. (35) ;

[0253] where FD i is the forward distance of the i-th sub-population at the current t-th generation, which is a relative quantity representing the average evolutionary rate and potential of the sub-population in recent iterations; i is the index of the sub-population, in this embodiment i=1, 2, 3 respectively corresponding to three sub-populations focusing on minimizing total annual cost (TAC), minimizing negative heat transfer efficiency (-η), and minimizing environmental impact factor (EI); t is the current iteration number of the optimization algorithm; r is the summation loop variable; f i (t) is the best objective function value of the i-th sub-population at the t-th generation, f i (t-r+1) is the optimal individual objective function value of the i-th sub-population at the (t - r + 1)-th generation; f i (t-R) is the optimal individual objective function value of the i-th sub-population at the (t - R)-th generation, which is the starting point of the historical window, and f i (t-r+1) are used to calculate the objective function change in an interval of R generations; f i max , f i min are the upper and lower bounds of the objective function of the i-th subpopulation in the whole optimization process, respectively, which are used to normalize the objective function to eliminate the differences in dimension and order of magnitude between different objectives; the final receiving subpopulation allocates evolutionary resources according to the relative evolutionary probability eP i , which ensures that resources are tilted towards the direction of great evolutionary potential.

[0254] Algorithm parameters: forward distance is denoted as FD to measure the evolutionary potential of the subpopulation; relative evolutionary probability is denoted as eP to allocate evolutionary resources; DE mutation is used to select elites from the archive; and hyper volume HV value is used for convergence judgment:

[0255] (36) ;

[0256] num dom is the number of sampling points dominated by the Pareto front, num sample is the total number of sampling points used to calculate HV, which is 10 4 here, ref = [15000, -30, 2000] is the reference point, pf min is the minimum value of the Pareto front objective;

[0257] The convergence process of this embodiment is that when iteration is to the third round, the HV change rate is ≤1%, at this time HV = 3457341572.4596, it is judged to converge, and 100 groups of Pareto optimal solution sets are output;

[0258] c. Optimal scheme screening: TOPSIS method is adopted, the weights are cost 30%, efficiency 40%, and environmental protection 30%, respectively, the weighted Euclidean distance of each Pareto solution is calculated, and the scheme with the highest closeness degree is screened.

[0259] Comparison of results before and after optimization:

[0260] Comparison of indicators between the optimal scheme and the traditional initial design scheme (L = 0.9m, W = 0.32m, t = 0.9mm, β = 45°, S = 4.6mm, N = 115) as follows:

[0261] In terms of structural parameters, the length of the plate is shortened from 0.9 m to 0.63 m, with a change rate of -30%; the width of the plate is increased from 0.32 m to 0.49 m, with a change rate of +53%; the thickness of the plate is thinned from 0.9 mm to 0.73 mm, with a change rate of -19%; the corrugation angle is increased from 45° to 50°, with a change rate of +11%; the plate spacing is reduced from 4.6 mm to 3.16 mm, with a change rate of -31%; and the total number of plates is increased from 115 to 120, with a change rate of +4.3%.

[0262] In terms of performance indicators, the heat transfer efficiency is increased from 57.5% to 61.9%, with a change rate of +7.7%; the friction pressure drop is increased from 4.66 kPa to 4.96 kPa, with a change rate of +6.5%; and the total heat transfer coefficient is increased from 160 W / (m²·K) to 172 W / (m²·K), with a change rate of +7.8%.

[0263] In terms of economic indicators, the initial investment is slightly increased from 59616 yuan to 59854 yuan, with a change rate of +0.4%; and the annual total cost is reduced from 9322 yuan / year to 7804 yuan / year, with a change rate of -16.28%.

[0264] In terms of environmental indicators, the environmental impact factor is reduced from 4242 kgCO2-eq / year to 3439 kgCO2-eq / year, with a change rate of -18.9%.

[0265] The HV convergence curve of the MPCMO algorithm is shown in Figure 7 , and the Pareto front solution set is shown in Figure 8 .

[0266] Performance comparison of algorithms:

[0267] The MPCMO algorithm used in this embodiment realizes an information cooperation mechanism through forward distance quantization evolution potential and population migration, compared with the traditional genetic algorithm , while ensuring the diversity of the solution set, significantly shortening the convergence time. Under the same hardware environment, MPCMO only needs 200 generations to reach a stable HV value (3.46×10 9 ), while needs 320 generations to reach a similar solution set quality (HV=2.81×10 9 ); and the optimal scheme generated by MPCMO is superior to in terms of TAC and EI indicators, verifying its superiority in multi-constrained and multi-objective optimization.

[0268] Further, in step S6, simulation verification is performed on the Pareto front based on the REFPROP 10.0 property database to comprehensively evaluate the robustness of the optimization scheme in actual operation, and five rows of precision verification are sequentially performed to compare the deviation of the heat transfer model used in the application from the REFPROP benchmark value; then dynamic condition verification is carried out, continuous fluctuations of the heat source parameters in the range of ±15% to ±20% are simulated, the efficiency fluctuation rate is observed, and finally extreme condition stress testing is carried out under the extreme condition that the heat source temperature suddenly rises by 20% and the flow suddenly drops by 30%, the stability of the scheme is observed, so that the efficiency fluctuation rate under the extreme condition and the simulation error under the dynamic condition are within the user's preset range, and the optimal plate heat exchanger structure design scheme suitable for the target scene is output for the designer to refer to.

[0269] Results and conclusions of the present embodiment:

[0270] Pareto front multi-scheme comparative analysis:

[0271] In order to fully demonstrate the flexibility of the application in multi-objective optimization, the Pareto optimal solution set generated from the MPCMO algorithm is Figure 8 Among them, three representative design schemes are selected for in-depth analysis. Scheme one is a cost priority type, which reduces the annual total cost to about 7650 yuan / year, which is reduced by 17.9% compared with the initial design, and the heat transfer efficiency is maintained at 59.5%; scheme two is a balanced type, i.e. the main selected scheme of the present embodiment, which reduces the cost by 16.3% (TAC is 7804 yuan / year) while increasing the heat transfer efficiency to 61.9%, and reducing the environmental impact factor to per year; scheme three is a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly type, which further increases the heat transfer efficiency to 63.2% and reduces the environmental impact factor by 24.6%, and the annual total cost is 8100 yuan. The structural parameters of the three schemes also show regular changes: from cost priority to high-efficiency and environmentally friendly, the plate length increases from 0.60 m to 0.65 m, and the plate width increases from 0.45 m to 0.52 m. The comparison results show that the application provides an optimal solution set covering different design preferences, rather than a single solution, which gives the designer sufficient decision space.

[0272] Comparison of optimization algorithm performance:

[0273] In order to verify the advancement of the MPCMO algorithm, the MPCMO algorithm is compared with the traditional NSGA-II algorithm under the same conditions. As shown in the convergence curve, Figure 7 the MPCMO algorithm only needs about 200 iterations to converge stably, while the NSGA-II algorithm needs about 320 iterations, and the convergence speed of the application algorithm is improved by about 37.5%. In terms of optimization quality, the hyper volume (HV) value of the Pareto front obtained by the MPCMO reaches 3.46x10 9, which is significantly higher than 2.81x10 9 , and the optimal scheme screened out by it is better in key indicators such as annual total cost and environmental impact factor, proving the efficiency and superiority of MPCMO in solving such complex multi-objective optimization problems.

[0274] Dynamic and extreme working condition adaptability comparison:

[0275] To comprehensively evaluate the robustness of the optimized scheme in actual operation, the application establishes a four-level verification system based on the high-precision property database of REFPROP10.0. The dynamic and extreme working condition simulation verification of scheme two (balanced type) is carried out using the property database of REFPROP10.0, and the results are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 First, the property accuracy verification is carried out, and it is found that the deviation of the heat transfer model used in the application from the REFPROP benchmark value is less than 3%, which lays a reliable foundation for subsequent simulation. Then, dynamic working condition verification is carried out, and the results show that the efficiency fluctuation rate of the scheme is strictly controlled within 5% under the condition of continuous fluctuation of heat source parameters within ±15%~±20%. Finally, extreme working condition stress test is carried out, and the scheme can still maintain stability under the extreme condition of 20% temperature rise of heat source and 30% flow rate drop, and the heat transfer efficiency decreases by no more than 8%, fully proving its strong adaptability in complex industrial scenes.
