Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital temperature control technology, and in particular to an AI-optimized energy-saving adaptive control system and method for HVAC systems. Background Technology
[0002] Digital temperature control technology mainly involves a system that uses temperature sensors to collect ambient temperature data and combines it with a controller to regulate heating or cooling equipment. Its core components include temperature signal acquisition, setpoint comparison, control command generation, and actuator control. It is widely used in building environment regulation, industrial process control, and equipment operation management. By constructing a temperature feedback loop, it achieves stable maintenance of the target temperature and combines humidity and airflow parameters to form a multi-variable collaborative regulation system. Traditional HVAC energy-saving adaptive control systems, on the other hand, are control systems that regulate the temperature, humidity, and airflow within a building. Their technical focus is on adjusting the operating status of air conditioning equipment under different load conditions and changes in the external environment. They use pre-set upper and lower temperature limits, acquire real-time temperature data through indoor temperature sensors, compare it with the setpoints, and control the compressor start / stop frequency or adjust valve openings based on the deviation. They also switch fan operating speeds based on time period settings and manually adjust operating parameters according to outdoor temperature or seasonal changes. In some scenarios, they manually set the supply and return air temperatures using empirical rules to complete system operation control.
[0003] Traditional HVAC systems rely solely on single-temperature feedback within the building. Because they ignore the coupled effects of human metabolic heat dissipation and environmental humidity on perceived thermal balance, indoor heat load calculations exhibit significant lags and struggle to adapt to unsteady load fluctuations caused by occupant movement. Furthermore, they lack refined quantification methods for outdoor weather disturbances and the thermal inertia effect of the building envelope, resulting in a mismatch between cooling supply and actual demand in both time and space. In addition, the actuators switch between start and stop based on fixed thresholds, failing to avoid mechanical losses and hydraulic imbalances under variable frequency operation, leading to frequent energy waste and increased equipment wear.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 The internal zone thermal load analysis module includes: The air enthalpy potential calculation module measures the indoor air specific enthalpy through temperature and humidity transmitters, identifies the indoor air state point, substitutes it into the enthalpy-humidity diagram equation of humid air to obtain the total enthalpy energy per unit mass of air, and outputs the environmental specific enthalpy evolution parameters. Temperature and humidity transmitters are driven to acquire dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity parameters of spatial grid nodes at a frequency of 100Hz. The raw data matrix is input into the preprocessing channel of a gate array chip, where a median filtering algorithm is executed to filter out abnormal spikes, generating a smooth temperature and humidity dataset. The standard atmospheric pressure wet air property database in the built-in memory is retrieved, using dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity as the joint search key, and a bilinear interpolation algorithm is used to locate the target air state point. The specific heat capacity of dry air, the specific heat capacity of water vapor, and the latent heat of vaporization of water at 0℃ are extracted for the corresponding state point. These constants are substituted into the enthalpy-humidity diagram of the wet air state equation, and the sensible heat of dry air and the latent heat of water vapor are scalarly summed to calculate the total enthalpy energy per unit mass of air. Parallel computation is performed by traversing spatial nodes with a grid step size of 0.5m to establish a tensor matrix containing three-dimensional coordinates and enthalpy energy. Difference operations are performed on the continuous tensor matrix along the time dimension to analyze the thermodynamic state transition gradient, generating environmental specific enthalpy evolution parameters reflecting thermodynamic evolution characteristics. The data processing is executed independently within the floating-point unit, locking the absolute error of the specific enthalpy calculation within 0.2 kJ / kg, and completing the dynamic tracking and parameter output of the air specific enthalpy.
[0022] The cluster human heat source evolution submodule measures the intensity and coverage area of infrared pyroelectricity of the human body in space based on the environmental enthalpy evolution parameter. Combined with the experience of heat dissipation by human metabolism, it infers the equivalent heat dissipation of multiple people under different activity states and outputs a dynamic human heat source tensor. The system receives environmental enthalpy evolution parameters and synchronously triggers an infrared pyroelectric sensor matrix. It captures the infrared radiation flux of moving targets in space, converts it into an analog voltage signal of 0 to 5V, and outputs a digital pyroelectric infrared image via an analog-to-digital converter. A recognition threshold of 0.8V is set, background thermal noise is filtered out, and pixel sets of connected regions with infrared signal intensity exceeding the boundary are extracted. The infrared pyroelectric intensity of the target is quantified, and the physical coverage area is calculated based on the total number of pixels in the connected regions. The centroid coordinates of the coverage area are differentiated over 5 consecutive seconds to determine the target's movement speed. Activity states are categorized based on movement speed: below 0.1 m / s is classified as a sedentary state; between 0.1 m / s and 1.0 m / s as a light activity state; and above 1.0 m / s as a vigorous activity state. The system calls upon the human metabolic heat mapping matrix to match the corresponding sensible and latent heat dissipation baseline values for each activity state. A matrix multiplication is performed on the total number of identified individuals, activity state category identifiers, and heat dissipation baseline values to deduce the equivalent heat dissipation of multiple individuals in differentiated activity states. The time derivative of the environmental enthalpy evolution parameter is integrated into the equivalent heat dissipation of the cluster, and compensation correction is performed on transient heat flow fluctuations to generate a multi-dimensional feature set containing spatial coordinates, timestamps, and heat generation power, and output a dynamic human body heat source tensor.
[0023] The unsteady aggregation submodule of heat load establishes a three-dimensional spatial fluid dynamics hybrid model based on the environmental specific enthalpy evolution parameter and the dynamic human body heat source tensor. It calculates the thermodynamic stratification interface changes caused by cold air sinking and hot air rising, obtains the total heat load accumulation rate, and generates indoor heat load intensity index. A three-dimensional spatial fluid dynamics hybrid model is established in a digital twin engine by receiving the environmental enthalpy evolution parameter and the dynamic human body heat source tensor. The finite volume method is used to divide the three-dimensional physical space into a hexahedral orthogonal computational grid with a side length of 0.1m. The environmental enthalpy evolution parameter is used as the background energy field loading condition for the flow field, and the dynamic human body heat source tensor is injected into the corresponding coordinate grid as a discrete volume heat source term. The Navier-Stokes partial differential equations are invoked, combined with the k-epsilon turbulence model, to solve for the mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation matrices. A Bousines approximation term is introduced in the vertical direction of the momentum equation to solve for the buoyancy driving force caused by the change in fluid density due to temperature differences. Iterative calculations are performed until the energy transfer residual is below 0.0001, indicating that the flow field has reached transient convergence. Temperature distribution slice data at various altitude levels are extracted, and abrupt change zones with an absolute temperature gradient greater than 1.5℃ / m are identified. The thermodynamic stratification interface changes caused by the sinking of cold air and the rising of hot air are calculated, and the physical elevation of the stratification interface is located. The total enthalpy change of the upper and lower regions of the layered interface is volume-integrated along the time step, and the integral term of the heating power of the dynamic human body heat source tensor is superimposed to obtain the total heat load accumulation rate. The peak value of the accumulation rate is normalized according to the heat flow distribution weighting coefficient to generate an indoor heat load intensity index.
[0024] Please see Figure 3The external heat penetration quantization module includes: The meteorological thermal pressure gradient deconstruction submodule is based on the indoor thermal load intensity index, identifies the dry-bulb temperature and normal direct solar radiation illuminance of the outdoor environment, and deconstructs the meteorological thermal pressure intensity from multiple directions using sky diffuse radiation, outputting the meteorological boundary thermal driving force. The system receives indoor thermal load intensity indices and acquires outdoor environmental parameters via a 1-minute cycle through a meteorological station data bus. It collects outdoor dry-bulb temperature sequences and normal direct solar irradiance captured by an all-weather direct radiation meter, using the Laida criterion to clean up radiation data that deviates from the mean. A sky-scattered radiation deconstruction algorithm is introduced, taking normal direct solar irradiance, latitude and longitude coordinates, real-time solar altitude angle, and azimuth angle as inputs. It calculates the difference between the total horizontal radiation and the horizontal projection of direct radiation, separating the isotropic sky-scattered radiation component. Based on the building's orientation and azimuth angle, the normal direct solar irradiance is decomposed into equivalent direct radiation intensities on four vertical facades using the cosine projection theorem. Sky-scattered radiation is distributed to each facade according to the shape factor ratio, deconstructing multi-directional meteorological thermal pressure intensity. A linear combination calculation is performed between the meteorological thermal pressure intensity of each facade and the temperature difference driving force between the outdoor dry-bulb temperature and the indoor set temperature. The weighting parameter of radiation driving force is set to 0.6, and the weighting parameter of temperature difference driving force is set to 0.4. The weighted summation yields the comprehensive thermodynamic gradient of each boundary, and the dataset containing the direction vector and heat flux scalar is encapsulated to output the meteorological boundary thermal driving force.
[0025] The thermal resistance delay evolution module of the building envelope measures the thermal conductivity and heat storage coefficient of the building exterior wall and glass curtain wall based on the meteorological boundary thermal driving force, establishes the finite difference heat transfer equation, solves the heat flow fluctuation curve and hysteresis phase angle formed by solar radiation and temperature difference on the inner surface of the wall, and outputs the heat capacity decay hysteresis constant. The meteorological boundary thermal driving force is obtained, and the material list of the building envelope is retrieved from the Building Information Modeling (BIM) database to obtain the physical and thermal properties of the building's exterior walls and glass curtain walls. The thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat capacity parameters of each structural layer of the exterior wall are extracted, and their product is calculated to obtain the heat storage coefficient of each layer. A one-dimensional discretized spatial grid is established along the thickness direction of the exterior envelope, with a grid step size of 5 mm, and a finite difference heat transfer equation is established. The Crank-Nicholson implicit difference scheme is adopted, using the meteorological boundary thermal driving force as the time-varying boundary condition for the outer surface and the set indoor temperature as the boundary condition for the inner surface. With a step size of 60 s, the implicit difference iterative matrix solution is performed on the heat conduction process, outputting the temperature matrix of each depth node. The temperature sequence of the innermost grid node is extracted, and combined with the inner surface heat transfer coefficient, the dynamic value of the heat flux density released from the inner surface to the interior is calculated. A comparison calculation is performed between the peak times of the meteorological boundary thermal driving force wave and the peak times of the heat flux density wave on the inner surface. The difference between the two on the time axis is calculated, and the heat flux fluctuation curves and hysteresis phase angles formed by solar radiation and temperature difference on the inner surface of the wall are plotted. The peak hysteresis time of the composite exterior wall is extracted and converted into a quantitative parameter characterizing thermal inertia, and the heat capacity decay hysteresis constant is output.
[0026] The internal and external heat flow convergence calculation module uses the heat capacity decay lag constant to call the spatial heat flow lag coefficient in the indoor heat load intensity index. It combines the meteorological boundary thermal driving force and the heat capacity decay lag constant to calculate the increase in sensible heat entering the room through the building envelope, quantifies the offset of cooling demand caused by the convergence of internal and external heat flows, and outputs the external disturbance interference value. Obtain the heat capacity attenuation lag constant and call the spatial heat flow lag coefficient in the indoor heat load intensity index. Shift the time series vector of the meteorological boundary thermal driving force backward by the corresponding time length of the heat capacity attenuation lag constant to align the external thermal shock with its actual penetration to the inner surface thermal effect in the time dimension. Multiply the shifted meteorological boundary thermal driving force amplitude by the corresponding comprehensive heat transfer coefficient and area of the building envelope, and introduce the spatial heat flow lag coefficient to perform attenuation correction calculations to estimate the increase in sensible heat entering the room through the building envelope after double filtering. Perform scalar summation on the calculated sensible heat increments of the building envelope in each orientation at the current moment to obtain the increased indoor heat load caused by external climate fluctuations. Superimpose this sensible heat increment onto the baseline steady-state cooling demand base to quantify the cooling demand offset caused by the convergence of internal and external heat flows. This offset calculation objectively reflects the net interference caused by external heat source fluctuations on the cooling capacity after considering thermal inertia. Encapsulate the cooling demand offset into a standard transmission message and output the external disturbance interference value. After applying the interference compensation algorithm, the prediction error rate of load fluctuations is stably converged to within 3.1%, and the heat flow convergence calculation is completed.
[0027] Please see Figure 4 The feng shui-linked cooling capacity optimization module includes: The wind and water thermal coupling submodule calculates the frictional heat compensation value generated by the chilled water pump and the air conditioning unit blower when overcoming the pipe network resistance by collecting the pressure difference, flow rate and temperature gradient at both ends of the water and air paths based on the external disturbance interference values, and outputs the mechanical side heat source additional amount. External disturbance values are received, and differential pressure signals at 10Hz are acquired from both ends of the water and air paths via differential pressure transmitters and Pitot tube wind pressure sensors installed in the pipeline network. Ultrasonic flow meters are used to collect the volumetric flow rate of the chilled water main, and hot-wire anemometers are used to measure the wind speed in the main air supply duct and convert it into air supply flow rate. Temperature gradient data is obtained using platinum resistance thermometers, and the rated efficiency curves of the pumps and fans are read from their nameplates. Based on Bernoulli's equation, the acquired differential pressure and actual flow rate are multiplied to calculate the fluid mechanical work consumed in overcoming pipeline resistance. The fluid mechanical work is divided by the overall mechanical efficiency of the motor at the current speed to obtain the motor shaft power. The difference between the shaft power and the fluid mechanical work is calculated. Based on the law of conservation of energy, the energy lost due to viscous shear friction and impeller mechanical friction is completely converted into heat from the temperature rise of the fluid medium. The frictional heat compensation value generated by the chilled water pump and the air conditioning unit's blower when overcoming pipeline resistance is analyzed. The external disturbance values and the accumulated friction heat compensation values from both the wind and water paths are combined using a matrix and added to a scalar to construct a data structure that reflects the heat dissipation effect of the equipment's mechanical components, and outputs the additional heat source quantity on the mechanical side.
[0028] The medium-level heat transfer calculation module analyzes the convective heat transfer between chilled water and air in the surface cooler based on the additional heat source on the mechanical side, calculates the heat transfer effectiveness of cold energy transfer across the medium using the logarithmic average temperature difference method, and outputs the cascade heat transfer resistance factor. The additional heat source on the mechanical side is obtained, and a mathematical analytical model of convective heat transfer is established for the surface cooler inside the air conditioning unit. Four temperature gradient parameters—inlet water temperature, outlet water temperature, inlet air temperature, and outlet air temperature—are extracted from the surface cooler, and the maximum and minimum temperature differences between the hot and cold fluids at both ends of the surface cooler are calculated. Using the core formula of the logarithmic average temperature difference method, the difference between the maximum and minimum temperature differences is divided by the ratio of their natural logarithms to calculate the actual average heat transfer temperature difference for cross-medium heat transfer. The polynomial fitting equation of the standard heat transfer area of the surface cooler and the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient under the current airflow rate is retrieved to solve for the theoretical maximum heat transfer under the current conditions. The actual sensible heat absorbed by the surface cooler is compared with the theoretical maximum heat transfer by division to measure the heat transfer effectiveness parameters for cross-medium heat transfer. The baseline heat transfer efficiency constant is set to 0.8. The penalty ratio term for the deviation of the actual heat transfer efficiency from the baseline value is calculated. The penalty ratio term is coupled with the additional thermal resistance of the mechanical heat source and the additional thermal resistance to perform a coupled multiplication operation. The attenuation resistance matrix of the cold energy transferred from the water side to the wind side is quantified, and the cascade heat transfer impedance factor is output to complete the heat transfer efficiency deconstruction and impedance parameter output.
[0029] The cooling capacity and compressor optimization submodule combines the mechanical side heat source additional quantity and the cascade heat transfer impedance factor, introduces the particle swarm optimization algorithm to establish a multi-dimensional mapping surface of evaporation temperature, condensation temperature and compressor speed, identifies the equipment's total energy consumption to tend to the optimal speed operating point, and generates compressor operating frequency control quantity. The additional heat source on the mechanical side and the cascade heat transfer impedance factor are obtained and loaded into the particle swarm optimization algorithm engine, with the goal of minimizing total power consumption. The particle swarm size parameter is initialized to 50, the maximum number of iterations is set to 100, the inertia weight factor is linearly decreased from 0.9 to 0.4, and both the individual learning factor and the social learning factor are set to 2.0. Evaporation temperature, condensation temperature, and compressor speed are defined as the coordinate axes of the three-dimensional search space. In a single iteration, the particle's current position coordinates are substituted into the total energy consumption simulation equation including the pre-factor to calculate the total power consumption fitness value at that coordinate point. The individual's current fitness is compared with the historical best fitness to refresh the individual's optimal position; the global optimal position is refreshed by comparing the optimal fitness of all particles. The particle optimization direction and step size are continuously adjusted through the velocity update formula to establish a multi-dimensional mapping surface of evaporation temperature, condensation temperature, and compressor speed. When the iteration reaches the preset threshold or the global optimal fitness value changes by less than 0.1% for 10 consecutive iterations, the optimization process is frozen, the global optimal particle coordinates after convergence are extracted, the total energy consumption of the equipment tends to the optimal speed operating point, the inverter output Hertz parameter corresponding to the optimal operating point is extracted, and the compressor operating frequency control quantity is generated.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 The cold-to-electric conversion efficiency measurement module includes: The instantaneous cooling-to-electricity ratio tracking submodule measures the real-time cooling capacity produced by the evaporator and the active power of the grid consumed by the compressor based on the variable frequency compressor reference speed set value in the compressor operating frequency regulation, solves the instantaneous cooling-to-electricity conversion rate, and outputs the cooling coefficient of the air conditioner operating condition. The system reads the compressor's operating frequency control value and the reference speed setpoint of the variable frequency compressor. It polls the high-frequency electromagnetic flowmeter and the dual platinum resistance thermometer on the evaporator water-side pipeline to capture the real-time chilled water mass flow rate and the temperature difference between the evaporator inlet and outlet water. The system multiplies the mass flow rate, water constant pressure specific heat capacity, and inlet / outlet water temperature difference to measure the real-time cooling capacity produced by the evaporator. It collects the effective voltage, effective current, and power factor using power meters installed on the power supply bus. The system measures the active power consumed by the compressor using a three-phase active power formula. The system divides the real-time cooling capacity by the consumed active power to calculate the instantaneous cooling-to-electricity conversion rate. It performs arithmetic averaging and noise reduction on 60 instantaneous cooling-to-electricity conversion rate sample sequences collected within one minute, filtering out outliers caused by voltage transient fluctuations. The smoothed cooling-to-electricity conversion rate mean is encapsulated into a floating-point data packet to construct a steady-state cooling performance coefficient index array. This process simultaneously updates the performance coefficient register state, continuously outputting the cooling coefficient under the air conditioning operating conditions.
[0031] The skewed operation loss diagnosis submodule identifies the isentropic compression power value of the compressor under different volumetric efficiencies based on the cooling coefficient of the air conditioner. It compares the real-time power consumption with the theoretical isentropic compression power value, separates the mechanical friction power consumption and internal leakage dissipation, and outputs the compressor deviation loss. The isentropic compression power value refers to the volumetric efficiency curve of the compressor determined based on the reference speed setting of the variable frequency compressor, combined with the real-time pressure and temperature at the compressor intake port, to calculate the isentropic compression power value. The system obtains the coefficient of performance (COP) of the air conditioner under operating conditions and analyzes the isentropic compression power of the compressor under differentiated volumetric efficiencies. It extracts the baseline speed setpoint, calls the unit controller's speed-volume efficiency mapping curve matrix, and retrieves the theoretical volumetric efficiency corresponding to the set speed. Using absolute pressure sensors and temperature probes at the suction and discharge ports, it collects real-time suction pressure, suction temperature, and discharge pressure. It retrieves the refrigerant thermodynamic property parameter library and calculates the isentropic compression power using the adiabatic isentropic compression equation, combined with the suction and discharge pressure ratio, adiabatic index, and theoretical volumetric efficiency. It reads the measured real-time active power consumption of the compressor, subtracts the constant copper and iron losses of the motor's stator and rotor, and obtains the mechanical shaft power. It compares the real-time active power consumption with the theoretical isentropic compression power, performs a subtraction operation to solve for the deviation, analyzes the internal composition ratio of the deviation, and separates the mechanical friction power consumption and internal leakage dissipation components by combining speed and lubricating oil temperature difference parameters. It normalizes and encodes the separated refrigerant high-pressure backflow internal leakage dissipation scaling value, packages it to generate loss characteristic parameters, and outputs the compressor deviation loss amount.
[0032] The sub-module for energy efficiency degradation deviation compares the cooling coefficient under air conditioning operating conditions with the performance curve under the design nominal state, introduces the compressor deviation loss, analyzes the overall efficiency drop under variable frequency fluctuation conditions, locks the energy efficiency speed range, and outputs the energy utilization efficiency ratio. Overall performance drop refers to the percentage by which the coefficient of performance (COP) of the air conditioner deviates from the performance curve under the design nominal condition. The percentage is then weighted and summed with the compressor's deviation in losses to obtain the overall performance drop. The system obtains the coefficient of performance (COP) for the air conditioning system under operating conditions. It retrieves a 3D performance surface data table generated from tests conducted under standard operating conditions, using real-time condenser inlet water temperature and evaporator outlet water temperature as dual independent variables. A bicubic spline interpolation algorithm is used to calculate the theoretical nominal COP for the current operating condition. The obtained COP for the air conditioning system under operating conditions is divided by the theoretical nominal COP, and this ratio is subtracted from 1 to calculate the percentage deviation of the COP from the design nominal state. An internal leakage dissipation percentage from the compressor's deviation loss is introduced, with a weighting factor of 0.7 for the percentage deviation and 0.3 for the internal leakage dissipation scale value. A weighted sum is performed on the percentage and the compressor's deviation loss to analyze the overall efficiency drop under variable frequency fluctuation conditions. The overall efficiency drop across historical speed ranges is sorted in descending order, and continuous speed frequency bands with drop rates below 5% are extracted. This energy efficiency speed range is then locked and set as a hard constraint boundary for variable frequency control. The overall efficiency drop is then reciprocated and normalized to output the energy utilization efficiency ratio.
[0033] Please see Figure 6 The actuator-driven reconfiguration module includes: The control loop damping optimization submodule uses the attenuation of the cooling performance coefficient in the energy utilization efficiency ratio as a penalty term in the reinforcement learning algorithm, and re-derives the optimal damping ratio of the variable air volume terminal and the PID control loop of the variable frequency water pump through monitoring and control, and outputs the loop response gain parameter. The degradation rate of the coefficient of performance (COP) within the energy utilization efficiency ratio is extracted, and a deep deterministic strategy gradient reinforcement learning algorithm model is activated. Tensor concatenation is performed on the state vectors of real-time cooling load, ambient temperature and humidity deviation, and valve opening to construct the input layer state feature tensor. The model's action space output is defined as the proportional gain and integral gain of the variable air volume (VAV) terminal control loop, and the optimal damping ratio of the variable frequency pump control loop. In the reinforcement learning reward function definition, the COP degradation rate is defined as the core penalty term. The model network includes an input layer, a fully connected hidden layer using a modified linear unit activation function, and an output layer using a hyperbolic tangent activation function. Multi-scene action simulation is performed in a virtual simulation environment through monitoring and control. Historical state transition samples are extracted and loaded into the experience replay pool. Gradient descent is used to update the network weight matrix using time difference error. After the optimization iteration terminates, the action vector parameter combination that makes the global cumulative reward value converge to the maximum value is extracted, and the optimal proportional gain, integral gain, and damping ratio are analyzed to output the loop response gain parameter.
[0034] The valve-air linkage dead zone reshaping submodule analyzes the flow characteristic curve of the chilled water regulating valve and the total pressure air volume characteristic of the blower, redefines the insensitive zone range of the actuator based on the real-time load rate of the air conditioner, and outputs the mechanical anti-vibration dead zone boundary. The scope of the insensitive zone for the actuator is redefined by extracting the flow gain slope corresponding to the current load from the flow characteristic curve of the chilled water regulating valve based on the real-time load rate change trend of the air conditioner, and determining the supply air pressure fluctuation deviation value in combination with the total pressure air volume characteristics of the supply fan. The product of the flow gain slope and the supply air pressure fluctuation deviation value is set as the insensitive zone. The flow characteristic curve of the chilled water regulating valve and the total pressure and air volume characteristics of the blower are analyzed. A pre-set polynomial relating the valve opening to the flow rate is retrieved from memory. Based on the real-time load rate change trend of the air conditioning system, the flow characteristic curve of the chilled water regulating valve is differentiated to extract the flow gain slope corresponding to the current load operating point. The quadratic function characteristic equation of the total pressure and air volume of the blower at the current speed is retrieved. Combined with the intersection point of the duct network resistance curve, the extreme value of the allowable supply air pressure fluctuation deviation under this operating condition is determined. The extracted flow gain slope and the supply air pressure fluctuation deviation value are numerically multiplied to calculate the physical scale of the dead zone width. Using the current control reference point as the central axis, the aforementioned physical scale is extended equidistantly to both sides to redefine the range of the actuator's insensitive action zone. This range is entered into the control command interception filter to determine the range to which the newly generated control command change belongs. When the calculated control command change falls within the insensitive zone, the command increment is forcibly cleared, the transmission link of frequently adjusted control signals is cut off, and the mechanical anti-vibration dead zone boundary is output.
[0035] The drive strategy set assembly submodule combines the loop response gain parameter and the mechanical anti-vibration dead zone limit, and sets the compressor's overshoot ramp function from the current Hertz to the target frequency through monitoring and control. It is then packaged and compiled into a servo control instruction set readable by the lower-level machine to generate a dynamic control strategy set for HVAC. The receiver loop response gain parameter and mechanical anti-vibration dead zone limit are used to read the compressor target frequency output from the front-end module. The actual output Hertz of the inverter is obtained through the sensor bus, and the difference between the actual output Hertz and the target frequency is compared. The control algorithm module compares the difference with the dead zone limit threshold to determine the action to be executed. The overshoot-free ramp function model is retrieved, and the maximum frequency change rate of the inverter is set to 1.5Hz / s. Based on the difference amplitude and the preset ramp rate, the discretized frequency setpoint sequence of the transition from the current Hertz to the target frequency is calculated. The time-frequency setpoint sequence and the loop response gain parameter execution data are packaged, hexadecimal encoded according to the industrial communication protocol message format, and a servo control instruction set readable by the lower-level machine is compiled. The packaged message is sent to the communication register between the programmable logic controller and the inverter to generate a dynamic control strategy set for HVAC, closing the control link. After introducing dead zone reshaping and smoothing strategy control, the abnormal oscillation action of the actuator is eliminated, the steady-state response time is reduced by 22%, and adaptive optimization closed-loop execution is completed.
