Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressor control, in particular to a high-efficiency and energy-saving control system of a water chiller compressor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The common compressors of water chillers are screw type and centrifugal type, the motors of which adopt common open asynchronous motors and are matched with related control components. In the refrigeration process of the water chiller, the compressor plays a role in compressing low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant and driving the refrigerant to circulate between the evaporator, the condenser and the expansion valve to realize the continuous operation of the system. In the continuous operation of the system, the most important energy consumption is the continuous working process of the compressor, and in the compression process, the high-efficiency operation of the compression motor should be ensured first, and some manufacturers use frequency converters for control, as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 Since this control mode belongs to open-loop control, the control accuracy of the ordinary asynchronous three-phase motor on the speed and torque is poor, the operation noise is large, and the system control is unstable or the energy-saving effect is not obvious.

[0003] The existing motor-driven compressor of the water chiller is mainly driven by the ordinary open asynchronous motor as the power and is assisted by other actuators. The open asynchronous motor drives the compressor, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant flows into the compressor, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas through mechanical movement by doing work, and the compressed high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is sent to the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat and becomes liquid, and then reenters the evaporator through the expansion valve to continuously circulate. In the whole continuous process, the open asynchronous motor continuously runs and does work, and will not change the speed because of the change of the load, always keeps the operation at the power frequency, causing the high operation cost of the system, and a high-efficiency and energy-saving control system of the water chiller compressor is urgently needed to be developed. SUMMARY

[0004] One of the technical problems to be solved by the present application is to overcome the defects of the above related technologies and provide a high-efficiency and energy-saving control system of a water chiller compressor.
