[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, indoor air quality has become one of the core factors affecting human health and living comfort. As a major component of building energy consumption, the synergy between the operating efficiency and air purification effect of HVAC systems is crucial. Currently, existing technologies suffer from two core technical defects, making it difficult to meet the demands for high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection.
[0003] Firstly, the air purification system and the HVAC system operate independently, lacking an effective coupling control mechanism. The operating parameters of the two cannot be adjusted in tandem, which not only leads to the waste heat generated by the HVAC system not being effectively recovered, resulting in energy waste, but also causes the purification system to operate blindly and interfere with the HVAC adjustment, affecting the air quality optimization effect and increasing the total energy consumption.
[0004] Secondly, the purification media (such as activated carbon) in existing air purification systems are easily saturated and lack an effective regeneration mechanism, requiring frequent replacement. This not only increases the cost of use but also easily causes secondary indoor air pollution due to the desorption of pollutants after adsorption saturation, making it impossible to achieve the recycling of purification media.
[0005] Therefore, developing a technical solution that can achieve deep coupling between HVAC systems and air purification systems, and has both purification medium circulation and regeneration functions and HVAC waste heat recovery functions, while also being energy-efficient and highly practical, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field.

[0036] Other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0037] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the steps of the HVAC-coupled indoor air quality optimization and circulation regeneration method of the present invention;
[0038] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the HVAC coupled indoor air quality optimization and circulation regeneration system of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a HVAC-coupled indoor air quality optimization and circulation regeneration method. This method aims to achieve both indoor air quality standards and minimize system energy consumption. Through five steps—parameter acquisition, coupled decision-making, air optimization, circulation regeneration, and feedback adjustment—it realizes deep coupling operation of the HVAC system and the air purification system. The specific steps are as follows:
[0042] (1) Parameter acquisition: Indoor and outdoor air quality parameters, HVAC system operating parameters and environmental conditions are collected in real time through distributed detection devices to build a real-time parameter monitoring dataset. The indoor air quality parameters include PM2.5 concentration (measurement range 0-1000μg / m³), VOC concentration (measurement range 0-10mg / m³), CO2 concentration (measurement range 0-5000ppm), temperature and humidity (temperature 0-50℃, humidity 20%-90%RH), and total bacterial count (measurement range 0-1000cfu / m³). The HVAC system operating parameters include supply and return water temperature difference (5-20℃), air volume (100-1000m³ / h), heat pump COP value (2.0-4.5), and boiler operating power (10-100kW). The outdoor environmental parameters include outdoor temperature and humidity, outdoor pollutant concentration, and atmospheric pressure (80-120kPa). The sampling frequency of the detection unit is 1-5min / time, and the measurement accuracy is ≤±1%, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of the monitoring data.
[0043] (2) Coupled decision: The coupled control unit receives the monitoring dataset transmitted by the detection unit, constructs a coupled control strategy based on the PID fuzzy control algorithm, calls the indoor air quality comprehensive evaluation model and the HVAC-purification coupled energy consumption model, completes parameter calculation and decision, and outputs purification treatment parameters (purification power, filtration speed), HVAC adjustment parameters (supply and return water temperature difference, air volume, heat source switching signal) and cycle regeneration parameters (regeneration temperature, regeneration cycle, waste heat recovery).
[0044] The comprehensive indoor air quality evaluation model is used to quantify indoor air quality levels, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0045] ;
[0046] in, Σωi is the comprehensive evaluation index for indoor air quality, where n represents the types of air quality parameters involved in the evaluation (in this example, n=5, namely PM2.5, VOC, CO2, temperature, and humidity), ωi is the weighting coefficient of the i-th type of parameter, and Σωi=1. This is the sub-index of the i-th type of parameter. Its calculation method refers to the "Technical Specifications for Ambient Air Quality Index (AQI) (HJ 633-2012)" and is calculated based on the measured concentration of the parameter and the grade limit.
[0047] The weighting coefficients ωi are determined using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) combined with the indoor usage scenario. For example, in a residential scenario, the weights for PM2.5 are ω1=0.35, VOCs ω2=0.25, CO2 ω3=0.20, temperature ω4=0.10, and humidity ω5=0.10. In a hospital scenario, the weighting coefficient for total bacterial count can be appropriately increased to ensure the relevance of the evaluation model. When IAQI ≤ 50, the indoor air quality is judged as "good"; when IAQI > 50, the air optimization process is initiated. The sum of the weighting coefficients for PM2.5 and VOCs is not less than 0.6.
[0048] The HVAC-purification coupled energy consumption model is used to calculate the total energy consumption of the system and achieve energy consumption minimization control. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0049] ;
[0050] in, Total system energy consumption (unit: kWh) Energy consumption of HVAC system (unit: kWh) Energy consumption of the purification unit (unit: kWh). Waste heat energy consumption recovered by the recycling unit (unit: kWh);
[0051] Specifically, HVAC system energy consumption The calculation formula is:
[0052] ,
[0053] In the formula, Q is the indoor heat load / cooling load (unit: kW·h), and COP is the coefficient of performance of the heat pump (COP=2.0-4.5 when heating in winter, COP=3.0-5.0 when cooling in summer). The transmission efficiency of the HVAC system (including heat exchange efficiency, duct losses, etc., with a value ranging from 0.8 to 0.95).
[0054] Energy consumption of purification unit The calculation formula is:
[0055] ;
[0056] In the formula, The unit's operating power is kW, and t is the operating time (h).
[0057] Waste heat energy consumption recovered by the recycling unit The calculation formula is:
[0058] ,
[0059] In the formula, Waste heat released in the supply and return water pipes of the HVAC system (unit: kW·h). For energy recovery efficiency (when using plate heat exchangers), =0.8-0.9).
[0060] (3) Air optimization: Based on the purification treatment parameters and HVAC adjustment parameters output by the coupling control unit, the purification unit and the HVAC coupling unit work together to optimize indoor air quality.
[0061] The purification unit adopts a multi-stage purification design, sequentially passing through three stages: pre-filtering, porous media adsorption, and catalytic decomposition.
[0062] ① Pre-filter stage: The pre-filter removes particulate matter (such as dust and hair) with a diameter of ≥10μm from the air. The filter can be disassembled and cleaned regularly to extend its service life.
[0063] ②Porous media adsorption stage: Yttrium oxide-carbon nanotube composite media is used as the adsorption material. This material has the characteristics of large specific surface area (above 1200㎡ / g), high adsorption capacity, and strong moisture resistance. It can efficiently adsorb PM2.5 (adsorption rate ≥60%) and VOC (adsorption rate ≥85%) in the air. Compared with traditional activated carbon filters, the adsorption capacity is increased by more than 100%, and the moisture resistance is increased by 300%. It can maintain an adsorption efficiency of more than 80% in an environment with 90% humidity.
[0064] ③ Catalytic decomposition stage: Platinum-carbon quantum dot catalyst is used to catalytically decompose adsorbed VOCs (such as formaldehyde and toluene) into harmless CO2 and H2O at room temperature, with a decomposition rate of >95%, avoiding secondary pollution after adsorption saturation, and reducing the regeneration frequency of the purification medium.
[0065] The HVAC coupling unit adopts a parallel coupling method between the heat pump unit and the auxiliary gas boiler, and dynamically switches the operating mode based on the indoor heat load and the outdoor ambient temperature.
[0066] ① When the outdoor temperature is higher than 2℃, the heat pump unit will be started first to take advantage of the high efficiency and energy saving of the heat pump and reduce the energy consumption of the HVAC system. At this time, the COP value of the heat pump will be maintained above 3.0.
[0067] ② When the outdoor temperature is below 2℃, the energy efficiency of the heat pump unit decreases. The auxiliary gas boiler is started to work in coordination with the heat pump unit to ensure that the indoor temperature and humidity meet the standards.
[0068] ③ By using a heat exchanger and duct system, the regulated temperature and humidity air is mixed with the purified air and delivered to various indoor areas to achieve synergistic optimization of air quality and comfort.
[0069] (4) Recycling: Based on the recycling parameters output by the coupling control unit, the recycling unit is started to realize the dual recycling of purification medium and energy, reducing the cost of use and energy waste.
[0070] Energy recovery and regeneration: Waste heat in the supply and return water pipes of the HVAC system is recovered through plate heat exchangers. Part of the recovered waste heat is used for the regeneration of the purification medium, providing the necessary heat energy for catalytic decomposition. The other part can be used for auxiliary indoor heating (such as in winter) or preheating of domestic hot water, improving energy efficiency. For example, if the supply and return water temperatures of the HVAC system are 50℃ / 40℃ in winter, the waste heat recovery through the plate heat exchanger can heat the regeneration chamber to 50-80℃, meeting the heat energy requirements for the regeneration of the purification medium and reducing additional electricity consumption.
[0071] Purification Media Regeneration: When the concentration sensor detects that the residual pollutant concentration in the purification media reaches 80% of the saturation concentration, the regeneration process is triggered. The media regeneration module activates the ultraviolet catalytic chamber and hot air circulation component to catalytically decompose and regenerate the saturated yttrium oxide-carbon nanotube composite media. During the regeneration process, ultraviolet light activates the platinum-carbon quantum dot catalyst, completely decomposing the pollutants adsorbed on the media surface into CO2 and H2O. The hot air circulation component accelerates the gas flow on the media surface, promoting the discharge of decomposition products and achieving the regeneration of the purification media.
[0072] Purification media regeneration efficiency The calculation formula is:
[0073] ;
[0074] In the formula, C0 represents the saturated concentration of pollutants in the purification medium before regeneration (unit: mg / g), and C1 represents the residual concentration of pollutants in the purification medium after regeneration (unit: mg / g). In this invention, by optimizing the regeneration temperature and ultraviolet irradiation intensity, the regeneration efficiency can be improved. With a regeneration rate of ≥90%, the purified medium can be recycled and reused, extending its service life to more than 3 years. Compared with traditional activated carbon filters, its service life is increased by more than 200%, significantly reducing the cost of use.
[0075] (5) Feedback Adjustment: The coupled control unit compares the actual indoor air quality value with the standard value (IAQI≤50) and the actual energy consumption of the HVAC system with the theoretical minimum energy consumption in real time. It dynamically corrects the coupled control strategy and various operating parameters (such as purification power, HVAC air volume, and regeneration cycle) using a PID fuzzy control algorithm to form a closed-loop control. The theoretical minimum energy consumption is specifically defined as: based on the HVAC-purification coupled energy consumption model described above. Under the constraints of currently collected indoor and outdoor operating parameters, air quality parameters, and basic HVAC system parameters, and assuming indoor air quality meets the standard (IAQI≤50), the minimum total system energy consumption is calculated using the PID fuzzy control algorithm in the coupled control strategy. This calculation process is synchronized with and dynamically updated in the energy consumption calculation within the coupled decision-making steps. For example, when the indoor IAQI drops below 40, the operating power of the purification unit is appropriately reduced; when the total system energy consumption exceeds the theoretical minimum energy consumption, the supply and return water temperature difference of the HVAC system and the heat pump operating mode are adjusted to ensure the system is always in optimal operating condition.

The primary filter removes dust and hair from the air, the porous media adsorption layer adsorbs PM2.5 and VOC, and the catalytic decomposition layer decomposes VOC into CO2 and H2O. The HVAC system starts the heat pump and auxiliary gas boiler, and mixes the air at a temperature of 23°C with the purified air through the heat exchange device and the air duct system, and sends it into various areas of the office building.
[0109] (4) Recycling and regeneration: The energy recovery module recovers waste heat (10kW·h) from the HVAC system through a plate heat exchanger, with a waste heat recovery rate of 88%; the medium regeneration module starts the ultraviolet catalytic chamber and hot air circulation components to regenerate the adsorbed and saturated purification medium, with a regeneration efficiency of 92%. After regeneration, the residual concentration of pollutants in the purification medium is reduced to below 0.05mg / g, and it is put into use in a cycle.
[0110] (5) Feedback adjustment: After 1 hour, the indoor air quality parameters were detected: PM2.5 concentration 28 μg / m³, VOC concentration 0.2 mg / m³, CO2 concentration 700 ppm, temperature 23℃, humidity 55%RH, and IAQI = 38.5 ≤ 50 was calculated; the actual total energy consumption of the system was 21.2 kWh, which was basically consistent with the theoretical target energy consumption of 20.99 kWh. The feedback unit did not detect any obvious deviation, and the coupling control unit maintained the current operating parameters to form a closed-loop control.
[0111] This invention achieves deep coupling and collaborative operation between the HVAC system and the air purification system. It incorporates a multi-stage purification, catalytic decomposition, and dual energy and medium recycling structure, along with real-time data comparison and dynamic parameter correction by the feedback unit. This effectively solves the problems of high energy consumption, easy saturation and failure of purification media, and easy generation of secondary pollution in traditional independent systems while ensuring stable indoor air quality. It significantly improves energy utilization and system operation stability, reduces usage and maintenance costs, and has comprehensive technical advantages of high-efficiency purification, energy saving and consumption reduction, and sustainable recycling.
