Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigeration system design, specifically a method for designing a multi-channel refrigeration system, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The increasing demand for refrigeration equipment in storage sectors such as grain silos has led to the emergence of multi-unit refrigeration systems, which offer a highly efficient and flexible cooling solution for centralized refrigeration and temperature control. However, because multiple refrigeration units share a single refrigeration system, factors such as differences in refrigeration load, door opening frequency, and changes in product display among the different units cause significant fluctuations in the overall system's cooling demand, placing higher demands on the accuracy and stability of temperature control. Existing multi-unit refrigeration systems lack intelligent decision-making capabilities and cannot determine a range of operating units that satisfies both cooling requirements and ensures stable and efficient system operation based on dynamically changing operating conditions, nor can they further pinpoint an optimal number of units within that range. Current systems can only simply increase or decrease the number of operating units based on upper and lower pressure limits. Under low-load conditions, operating too many devices can lead to excessively low evaporation pressure, increased compressor pressure ratio, and a sharp deterioration in energy efficiency, potentially even triggering low-pressure protection. In this case, the number of operating devices exceeds the upper limit of the reasonable range. Conversely, under high-load conditions, operating too few devices results in ineffective cooling and prolonged high-load operation of the compressor, also exceeding the lower limit of the reasonable range. The existing system cannot assess this, forcing it to operate at suboptimal or even harmful device counts. The system cannot determine the optimal range of operating refrigeration and cold storage equipment for the specific operating conditions, nor does it possess the ability to find the optimal number of devices operating under corresponding requirements within this range. This results in the system operating under conditions of high energy consumption and poor stability for extended periods, thus requiring urgent resolution. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Taking a certain freezer as an example, the external dimensions of the refrigeration equipment are 1726 mm long, 728 mm wide, and 2425 mm high. The indoor temperature in summer is 24°C, the target temperature is 4°C, the allowable temperature fluctuation range of the freezer is 2~5°C, the external surface area of ​​the cabinet is 14.41 m², the internal volume of the cabinet is 3.18 m³, and the system uses a certain fixed-frequency compressor.

[0054] Calculate the heat load Q of a single freezer. The thermal conductivity of the insulation layer is 0.028 W / (m·℃), the insulation layer thickness is 0.04 m, the heat transfer coefficient of the inner surface is 10 W / (m²·℃), the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface is 10 W / (m²·℃), the average number of door openings is 5 times / hour, and the air density is 1.225 kg / m³. There is one evaporator fan with a power of 12.4 W. There are two LED tubes with a power of 9 W each, and the influence coefficient of the tube position on the heat load is 0.5. The heating wire power is 150 W, and the influence coefficient of the heating wire position on the heat load is 0.2. The mass of the internal goods is 8.75 kg, and the specific heat capacity of the internal goods is 4.19 kJ / (kg·℃). The calculated heat load Q is... The initial selection was six freezers with a total cooling capacity of 3895.26W. However, since the freezers do not meet the three conditions requiring the use of inverter compressors, fixed-frequency compressors can be used instead. The refrigeration system will use R404A as the refrigerant, with a condensing temperature of 40℃ and an evaporating temperature of -5℃. Under the design conditions, the compressor's cooling capacity will be 4006W and its power consumption will be 1201W.

[0055] The evaporator uses 9.52mm × 0.5mm copper tubes as heat transfer tubes, with a fin thickness of 0.14mm, a fin spacing of 3.5mm, and a tube center-to-center distance of 25mm on the air-facing side. The tube clusters are arranged in an equilateral triangular staggered pattern. Calculations... ; .

[0056] The required heat transfer area for the evaporator is U = 667 / (26.89 × 6.60) = 3.76 m² 2 The total length of the heat transfer tubes required for the evaporator is L = 12.72m. Assuming the evaporator width is 540mm and height is 200mm, the actual frontal area is 0.108m². 2 The number of pipe rows in the airflow direction is 5, and the windward width (effective single pipe length) is 0.54m. The pipe spacing perpendicular to the airflow direction has been selected as 25mm, therefore the number of pipe rows perpendicular to the airflow direction is 8. Determine the evaporator design.

[0057] The design of the condenser in this application is similar, therefore the design steps are omitted. The same calculations yield condenser dimensions of 700mm width, 600mm height, 4 rows, 24 columns, and 4 branch lines.

[0058] During the verification in S6, the condensing temperature was set to 35℃ and the evaporating temperature to -3℃. At this time, the compressor's cooling capacity was 4628W and the power was 1073W. The condensing load coefficient of R404A at a condensing temperature of 35℃ and an evaporating temperature of -3℃ was 1.18, so the condensing heat load was 5461W.

[0059] By reassuming the outlet temperature and iteratively solving the problem, it was verified that the difference between the heat exchange and heat load matching degree was less than 5%, and that the outlet temperature met the design temperature. When calculating the condenser, the final iterative calculation yielded an air outlet temperature of 28.33℃, at which point the calculated logarithmic mean temperature difference was 8.16K. = =21.65×31.3×8.16=5529.58W, when verifying the error rate, = =1.27×1005×(28.33-24)=5526.60W, which is 3.2% different from the calculated condensing heat load of 5.46kW. This is within the allowable error range and can meet the heat transfer requirements of the condensing load.

[0060] When calculating the evaporator, the final iterative calculation yielded an air outlet temperature of 1.85℃, at which point the calculated logarithmic mean temperature difference was 4.85K. = ==24.50×6.39×4.85=752.29W; = =0.35×1005×(4-1.85)=756.26W; the difference from the designed cooling capacity of 772W is 2.3%, which is within the allowable error range and can meet the heat transfer requirements.

[0061] After the multi-split system stabilizes, recalculate the heat load required for the freezer to maintain thermal balance. The heat load of the freezer at this point is... The process begins by adding freezers one by one, recalculating whether the system can complete the cooling process. This iterative calculation is repeated to obtain the final outlet temperature. At this point, all freezers are checked to ensure they reach the required temperature and the temperature fluctuation is less than 0.8℃ / 10min. If the temperature requirement and temperature uniformity are met, the system runs continuously for 24 hours. The average temperature of all freezers is then checked to ensure it is within ±1℃ of the required temperature and the maximum / minimum temperature difference does not exceed 3℃. If these conditions are met, the system can support one (n+i) freezers, and more freezers can be added. If the prerequisites are not met, the compressor needs to be tested for COP decay exceeding 15% or exhaust temperature exceeding the safety threshold. The presence of either indicates that the compressor has reached its limit. If the compressor limit is not reached but the required temperature or temperature uniformity is not achieved, error mode diagnosis is required. For example, uneven refrigerant distribution may cause some freezers to fail to meet the requirements. Optimization is then performed, and the above steps are repeated after optimization. Finally, the range of freezer quantity is calculated.

[0062] After determining the range of the number of freezers, the optimal number of freezers is then determined. For different freezer configurations, three independent optimization processes are performed: performance-oriented, balanced, and safety-oriented. The objective function is constructed as follows: ; For commercial refrigerated display cases, a performance-oriented approach can be chosen.
