Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application filed on May 24, 2024, application number 2024106563969, entitled "A linear cooling control method for an environmental test chamber and an environmental test chamber". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of temperature control technology, and in particular to a linear cooling control method for an environmental test chamber and an environmental test chamber. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, most linear cooling systems use fixed-frequency compressors. In the early and middle stages of cooling, the cooling capacity demand is significantly less than the compressor's capacity. Therefore, the expansion valve employs a multi-branch combination, with on / off control for different temperature ranges. When the expansion valves in different branches open, the system's cooling capacity suddenly increases, causing significant fluctuations in the linear cooling temperature curve. At this point, the system uses heating to counteract the fluctuations and achieve curve stabilization again. If the expansion valve is not properly selected or adjusted when open, it may cause liquid to be drawn into the compressor's suction, affecting system reliability. Simultaneously, fan control is also crucial. If the fan airflow is too low, the refrigerant in the evaporator cannot evaporate completely; if the fan airflow is too high, energy efficiency is poor.

[0004] Furthermore, in the initial cooling phase, the high starting temperature leads to a high compressor suction temperature. To prevent the compressor motor from overheating, liquid needs to be sprayed into the compressor suction pipe to lower the suction temperature. However, if the liquid spraying volume is not accurately controlled, liquid may be carried into the compressor suction, affecting the system's operational reliability.

[0005] Therefore, optimizing the system control and operation during the linear cooling process is crucial for the stability of the linear cooling temperature curve, system simplification, system energy saving, and system operational reliability. Summary of the Invention
