[0002] Currently, air conditioning systems are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. With increasing energy consumption, the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems has become a major concern. Traditional air conditioning systems typically rely on set temperature and humidity levels for regulation. Modern air conditioning systems employ multiple sensors to monitor environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure in real time. By collecting data, the system can dynamically adjust its operating mode according to changes to achieve energy savings. Most systems rely on preset operating strategies for control, adjusting internal components such as compressors, fans, and heat exchangers based on environmental changes to optimize energy efficiency.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings. Current energy efficiency prediction for air conditioning systems is mainly based on fixed models or empirical rules. It relies on simple environmental data such as temperature and humidity as input, lacking a comprehensive consideration of the interrelationships between various components of the air conditioning system. Existing technologies fail to effectively integrate the interrelationships of internal components and the diversity of external environmental conditions. The operating state of an air conditioning system can vary significantly under different environments, and existing static models cannot accurately reflect these changes. The accuracy of energy efficiency prediction is limited, and it cannot provide precise optimization solutions under complex and variable environmental conditions. Existing technologies cannot meet the real-time adjustment and precise control requirements of intelligent air conditioning systems, resulting in low energy efficiency performance in actual operation.

[0038] By introducing rolling optimization and strategy fine-tuning mechanisms, a self-learning and adaptive closed-loop control system is constructed. The overall approach has good versatility and scalability, and can be applied to various types of air conditioning systems and energy efficiency management scenarios.

[0039] Example 2 This embodiment is based on an energy efficiency prediction method and system for air conditioning systems. By constructing a physical topology network of the air conditioning system and modeling the component relationships, it provides an accurate dynamic relationship matrix foundation for energy efficiency prediction. The specific implementation method is as follows: This embodiment focuses on a commercial split-type air conditioning system with a rated cooling capacity of 12kW. The system mainly consists of a variable frequency compressor, a finned condenser, a throttling device, and a plate evaporator, using R32 as the refrigerant. The piping is connected with copper pipes, with a total length of approximately 15.8m. Pressure, temperature, and flow sensors are installed at each node to collect real-time operating data.

[0040] The system's operating data under rated cooling conditions of 27℃ indoors and 35℃ outdoors are as follows: The compressor suction pressure is 0.81 MPa, and the discharge pressure is 2.62 MPa. The condenser inlet air temperature is 34.5℃, and the outlet air temperature is 39.1℃. The evaporator inlet air temperature is 26.7℃, and the outlet air temperature is 13.5℃. The refrigerant mass flow rate is 0.021 kg / s. The total system input power is 3.42 kW.

[0041] 1. Physical Topology Network Construction Based on the actual piping connections of the air conditioning system, the compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are denoted as nodes N1, N2, N3, and N4, respectively. The refrigerant flow direction is used as the edge direction. An initial physical topology network is constructed based on the existence of fluid connectivity, resulting in the following topology matrix:

[0042] in, This indicates that there is a refrigerant flow path from the i-th component to the j-th component. This indicates that there is no direct connection between the two. The topology matrix fully reflects the closed-loop flow structure of the compressor-condenser-throttling device-evaporator-compressor.

[0043] 2. Feature settings for nodes and edges Based on the above topology, a feature vector containing actual measurement data is introduced for each node. Taking the rated operating condition as an example, the following features are set for each node: Compressor: suction pressure 0.80MPa, discharge pressure 2.60MPa, input power 3.40kW, discharge temperature 82.5℃.

[0044] Condenser: Inlet refrigerant temperature 81.0℃, outlet refrigerant temperature 45.3℃, condenser inlet air temperature 34.2℃, outlet air temperature 38.9℃.

[0045] Throttling device: Inlet pressure 2.55MPa, outlet pressure 0.82MPa, refrigerant temperature before throttling 44.8℃.

[0046] Evaporator: Inlet refrigerant temperature 6.5℃, outlet refrigerant temperature 12.3℃, evaporator inlet air temperature 26.8℃, outlet air temperature 13.6℃.

[0047] Node features are input into the graph neural network in vector form during implementation. Each node feature has an 8-dimensional dimension, including physical quantities such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, and local power.

[0048] The edge characteristics are set based on mass flow rate and pressure drop: The mass flow rate of the N1-N2 side is 0.020 kg / s, and the pressure drop is 0.05 MPa. The mass flow rate of the N4-N1 side is maintained at 0.020 kg / s, and the pressure drop is approximately 0.03 MPa, ensuring that the entire loop meets the mass conservation constraint.

[0049] 3. Hybrid modeling mechanism and dynamic relation matrix formation After completing the physical topology network and setting the node and edge features, the above network is input into a hybrid modeling mechanism for component relationship modeling. The hybrid modeling mechanism consists of two parts: graph neural networks and physical rules. Graph Neural Network Part: The input layer uses 8-dimensional node features, and the hidden layer has 2 layers with 64 neurons in each layer. The activation function is a modified linear function, and the learning rate is set to 0.001.

[0050] The energy and mass relationships between adjacent nodes are updated through edge message passing, optimizing the energy exchange path. After each message pass, the energy state of a node is dynamically updated, reflecting a more reasonable heat exchange process and gradually approaching the actual energy transfer path.

[0051] Physical rules and constraints: In the process of modeling component relationships, the output of the graph neural network is modified using the laws of conservation of energy and mass as constraints. Law of conservation of mass: Ensure that the deviation between the inlet mass flow rate and the outlet mass flow rate at each node does not exceed 1%.

[0052] Law of Conservation of Energy: The heat exchange quantity of each heat exchange component is calculated using the following formula:

[0053] The heat transfer capacity of the heat exchange components is calculated and verified. On the evaporator side, when the specific heat capacity is taken... At that time, the relative deviation between the heat exchange calculated based on the air-side temperature difference and flow rate and the cooling capacity converted from the electrical input power is controlled within 2.5%.

[0054] By adjusting edge weights and node energy states in real time using physical rules, the accuracy and stability of the system during dynamic modeling are ensured. The error in node energy states gradually decreases after each training iteration.

[0055] After about 400 iterations, the node energy balance error gradually decreased from the initial 6.1% to 1.9%, and the mass balance error stabilized at around 0.8%. At this point, the component relationship modeling was considered to have converged, and the resulting dynamic relationship matrix reflected the coupling strength between the components under the operating conditions.

[0056] In the converged dynamic relation matrix, the edge weight coefficients of condenser node N2 and evaporator node N4 increased from the initial 0.72 to 0.87, and the edge weight coefficients of compressor node N1 and condenser node N2 increased from 0.78 to 0.90. Numerical results show that, after introducing physical conservation constraints, the model more accurately characterizes the actual energy transfer relationship of the refrigerant between the main heat exchange components, providing a reliable structural basis for subsequent energy efficiency predictions based on the dynamic relation matrix.

[0057] This embodiment constructs the physical topology network of an air conditioning system and models the relationships between its components. A hybrid modeling mechanism combining graph neural networks and physical rules is employed to capture the energy and mass transfer relationships between the major components. Model training results show that the node energy balance error is reduced to 1.9%, and the mass balance error is controlled within 0.8%. The obtained dynamic relationship matrix accurately reflects the coupling characteristics between the components, providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent energy efficiency prediction and optimization control.

[0058] Example 3 This embodiment is based on the method and system for predicting the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems. By substituting the measured operating condition data into the steady-state relation analytical algorithm model formula and comparing it with the measured heat input, the accuracy of the steady-state relation analytical algorithm model formula in calculating the heat input of the air conditioning system is verified.

[0059] 1. Experimental conditions and data sources The tested equipment is an air conditioning system prototype with a rated cooling capacity of 3.5kW and refrigerant R410A. The main components include a compressor, evaporator, condenser, and throttling device.

[0060] Environment and operating conditions: The laboratory environment temperature was 32℃, the relative humidity was about 55%, the operating mode was stable cooling, the continuous operation was 3600s, and the sampling cycle was 1s.

[0061] Sensors and data acquisition systems: Pressure sensors are used to collect compressor suction and discharge pressures; K-type thermocouples are used to collect evaporator and condenser inlet and outlet temperatures as well as ambient temperatures; mass flow meters are used to collect refrigerant mass flow rates; power meters are used to collect compressor power; and hygrometers and speed sensors are used to collect ambient humidity and fan speed.

[0062] All signals are processed by an adaptive data filtering mechanism to complete signal quality assessment and data smoothing repair, forming a dynamic and effective parameter set.

[0063] 2. Dynamic effective parameter set Statistical analysis of 3600 sets of sampled data yielded the following average values ​​for key parameters: Refrigerant mass flow rate: The refrigerant mass flow rate was obtained by taking the arithmetic mean of the data over a period of 3600 seconds, which was measured by a mass flow meter. The result was 0.018 kg / s.

[0064] Condenser inlet temperature: The average value of the temperature measured by the thermocouple at the condenser inlet is 41.3℃.

[0065] Condenser outlet temperature: The average value of the temperature measured by the thermocouple at the condenser outlet is 35.8℃.

[0066] Compressor power: The compressor power was measured by an electric power meter and the average value was taken to obtain a compressor power of 980W.

[0067] Ambient temperature and humidity: measured by environmental sensors and used to calculate the load adaptability function, the ambient temperature was found to be 32.5℃ and the humidity to be 55.6%.

[0068] Convert the temperature into the temperature difference form required for thermodynamic calculations: Since this embodiment treats the system input heat as an absolute temperature difference, the actual calculation will use:

[0069] To facilitate comparison with previous tests, in this embodiment, a typical operating temperature difference of 6.5K was taken as the calculation sample based on multiple tests. The calculation sample was derived from the weighted average results of multiple stable operating conditions and was marked accordingly in the test records.

[0070] 3. Steady-state relation analysis algorithm A steady-state model based on physical rules is adopted. This model calculates the input heat using a dynamic set of effective parameters, with temperature difference, fluid flow rate, and specific heat capacity as key parameters. The model formula for the steady-state relation analytical algorithm is as follows: .

[0071] in, The input heat, measured in J / s, represents the heat input in the air conditioning system. Fluid flow rate, unit: This represents the mass of fluid flowing through the system per unit time. Specific heat capacity, unit: This represents the heat absorbed by a unit mass of fluid when the temperature changes by 1 K. The fluid input temperature, expressed in Kelvin (K), represents the temperature at which the fluid enters the air conditioning system. The fluid output temperature, in Kelvin (K), represents the temperature of the fluid when it leaves the air conditioning system. It is a system load adaptability function that adjusts the heat exchange efficiency based on the external ambient temperature, system internal pressure, and humidity, and is dimensionless.

[0072] Specific heat capacity values ​​and unit conversions: According to the property data sheet of refrigerant R410A, its specific heat capacity is approximately 1.54 within the temperature and pressure range specified in this embodiment. Converted to J / (kg·K), it is 1.54×10 3 =1540J / (kg·K).

[0073] Values ​​of the load adaptability function: Based on the external ambient temperature of 32.5℃, ambient humidity of 55.6%, and the current system load rate of approximately 0.92, the following results were obtained using the pre-calibrated load adaptability curve: , is a dimensionless correction coefficient.

[0074] Substitute the known data into the calculation:

[0075] 4. Dynamic parameter identification mechanism The dynamic parameter identification mechanism is used to correct the input heat in real time. Its main function is to dynamically correct the estimated heat input based on the error between the actually measured dynamic parameters and the steady-state model predictions during the operation of the air conditioning system. The specific process is as follows: Real-time data acquisition and comparison: The system acquires real-time data through sensors and compares it with the predicted values ​​of the steady-state model.

[0076] Error identification and correction: The real-time error value is calculated, which is the difference between the actual input heat and the value calculated by the steady-state model. The error is fed back to the dynamic parameter identification mechanism to correct the system's heat input.

[0077] Dynamic optimization: The dynamic parameter identification mechanism optimizes the error value and adjusts the input heat estimate based on the error to ensure accurate control and high efficiency of the system under various operating conditions.

[0078] Continuous feedback: The system continuously adjusts errors and optimizes input heat estimates to achieve real-time dynamic optimization, ultimately improving the energy efficiency prediction and control accuracy of the air conditioning system.

[0079] The dynamic coupling factor is a key factor obtained through nonlinear regression analysis of dynamic parameters. It is used to regulate and optimize the relationships between multiple variables in an air conditioning system. Its specific functions are as follows: Coupling adjustment: The dynamic coupling factor can adjust the nonlinear relationship between key parameters such as heat input, fluid flow rate, and temperature difference to ensure the stable operation of the air conditioning system under various dynamic conditions.

[0080] Nonlinear regression: Through nonlinear regression analysis, the dynamic coupling factor optimizes the estimation of input heat and eliminates errors caused by dynamic changes in the system.

[0081] Dynamic response: The dynamic coupling factor adjusts the system's response according to changes in external factors such as ambient temperature and humidity, maintaining efficient energy efficiency prediction and precise control.

[0082] In this embodiment, during air conditioning system operation, the dynamic parameter identification mechanism corrects errors based on the difference between real-time sensor data and the steady-state model, and optimizes the input heat estimate through nonlinear regression, ultimately forming a dynamic coupling factor. This dynamic coupling factor adjusts key parameters such as fluid flow rate and temperature to ensure the system adapts to changes in the external environment and maintains optimal operating conditions.

[0083] 5. Comparison with measured values ​​and error calculation The compressor power was measured by an electric power meter, and after energy conversion and system loss calculation, an experimental reference value for the input heat under the same operating conditions was obtained. .

[0084] Error calculation: Since 1J / s = 1W, therefore .

[0086]

[0087] In summary, the calculation results show that when using the steady-state relational analytical algorithm model formula to solve for the input heat, the input heat obtained based on parameters such as refrigerant mass flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures, and load correction function is approximately 171.2W. The relative error between this and the measured heat input of 176.3W obtained by measuring and converting through a power meter is approximately 2.9%.

[0088] The above results show that the steady-state relational analytical algorithm model formula accurately represents the energy transfer relationship of the air conditioning system under steady-state conditions, with good calculation accuracy and engineering applicability. Combined with the dynamic parameter identification mechanism and dynamic optimization of the dynamic coupling factor, it improves the system's accuracy and response capability for input heat estimation, providing support for the system's real-time energy efficiency prediction and dynamic adjustment.
