Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air-conditioning energy saving, and relates to an energy-saving control system for a hotel refrigeration room taking into account the occupancy rate of personnel. Background Art
[0002] The current energy-saving control system of the refrigeration room is mainly divided into three modules: signal input module, controller module and signal output module.
[0003] First, the signal input module: The signal input module generally has a sensor monitoring module and a refrigeration equipment wireless communication module. Among them, the sensor monitoring module is responsible for collecting various sensor information, such as: the monitoring component 300 in the utility model CN202222254522.7 (the utility model CN202221328957.5 is called the sensor acquisition module 3, and the utility model CN202221135099.2 is called the signal input module above the central processor): the supply and return temperature and flow of chilled water, the supply and return temperature and flow of cooling water. In addition, the sensor acquisition module 3 of the utility model CN202221328957.5 has more chilled water supply pressure, cooling water supply pressure and outdoor temperature and humidity sensors than the monitoring component 300 of the utility model CN202222254522.7. The refrigeration equipment wireless communication module is responsible for collecting relevant operating status information of refrigeration-related equipment. For example, in the utility model CN202222254522.7, the smart meter 200 will transmit the real-time electric power of the chiller. In the utility model CN202221328957.5, the wireless communication module of the refrigeration equipment includes: a magnetic levitation chiller communication module 5, a smart meter communication module 6, and a frequency converter communication module 7. The magnetic levitation chiller communication module 5 is responsible for the start and stop control, load rate control, and status monitoring of the magnetic levitation unit. The smart meter communication module 6 includes a magnetic levitation unit smart meter, a refrigeration pump smart meter, a cooling pump refrigeration meter, and a cooling tower smart meter, which are used to transmit the power consumption of these devices. Frequency converter communication module 7 communicates with the refrigeration pump frequency converter, the cooling pump frequency converter, and the cooling tower frequency converter. The utility model CN202221135099.2 does not have it. The utility model CN201921866731.9 only has cold source room communication, and returns the supply and return water temperature of chilled water. However, utility model CN202222254522.7 and utility model CN201921866731.9 also have a terminal air conditioner communication module. Utility model CN202222254522.7 is an air conditioning system control panel: transmits indoor temperature and the cooling temperature set by the user, that is, grasps the cooling situation of the air conditioner terminal in the room. Utility model CN201921866731.9 is a terminal air conditioner communication module: transmits indoor temperature and humidity, air supply temperature and humidity, and surface cooling valve opening.
[0004] Secondly, the controller module: The controller module is mainly used to obtain low-energy equipment operating parameters through calculation based on the collected information, and then feed back to the equipment in the refrigeration room (refrigeration machine, pump, cooling tower). The control module 100 in the utility model CN202222254522.7,
[0043] points out that the energy consumption is judged in combination with the monitoring data, and control instructions are issued according to the operating status of the unit to reduce the operating load. Control information can also be written manually. The main control module 1 in the utility model CN202221328957.5,
[0026] points out that the chiller data model, the freezing pump data model, the cooling pump data model and the cooling tower data model are established through the main control module. Based on the model, the optimization calculation is performed through the actively loaded PID, and the overall comprehensive energy efficiency ratio of the chiller room is taken as the goal to calculate the optimal temperature difference set point of the chilled water, the optimal temperature difference set point of the cooling water and the optimal temperature approximation set point of the cooling tower. The central processor in the utility model CN202221135099.2 receives the chiller outlet water temperature and cooling tower outlet water temperature transmitted by the temperature controller, the most unfavorable end loop pressure difference of chilled water transmitted by the pressure difference controller, and the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference data transmitted by the temperature difference controller, and generates and transmits the control signal for adjusting the chiller outlet water temperature, cooling tower outlet water temperature, the most unfavorable end loop pressure difference of chilled water, and the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference to each chiller and each inverter. Each inverter is respectively connected to the chilled water pump, cooling water pump, and cooling tower to collect and adjust the operating frequency of the chiller, chilled water pump, cooling water pump, and cooling tower motor. Thereby adjusting the chiller outlet water temperature, cooling tower outlet water temperature, the most unfavorable end loop pressure difference of chilled water, and the cooling water supply and return water temperature difference and other parameters. The utility model CN201921866731.9 does not describe the controller in detail.
[0005] Third, signal output module: The output module is mainly used for the operating parameters of refrigeration equipment. The instruction output unit in utility model CN202222254522.7 is used to control the operating mode of multiple chillers according to control instructions. Utility model CN202221328957.5 outputs dynamic adjustment control of chiller chilled water outlet temperature, chiller addition and subtraction machine control, freezing pump frequency adjustment control, cooling pump frequency adjustment control, cooling tower frequency adjustment control and pressure difference bypass valve opening adjustment control. Utility model CN202221135099.2 transmits control signals of chiller outlet water temperature, cooling tower outlet water temperature, chilled water most unfavorable end loop pressure difference, and cooling water supply and return water temperature difference to each chiller and each inverter. Utility model CN201921866731.9 outputs the outlet water temperature of the chiller.
[0006] However, the prior art has the following defects: the real-time occupancy rate of hotel buildings is volatile and random, which has an impact on the energy-saving control of the refrigeration room in the prior art, making it impossible for the energy-saving control of the refrigeration room in the prior art to meet the needs of energy consumption adjustment in real time, resulting in excessive energy consumption during idle time and insufficient cooling and heating during busy time.
[0007] Utility model CN202222254522.7: The signal input sensor module does not have an outdoor temperature and humidity sensor. The temperature and humidity of the outdoor air are very important. They have a direct impact on the outlet water temperature of the cooling tower and the temperature and humidity of the fresh air at the end of the air conditioner, and determine the setting of the chilled water outlet temperature of the chiller. In addition, energy-saving control is performed on the chiller, but energy-saving control is not performed on the frequency of other auxiliary equipment such as the freezing pump, cooling pump, and cooling tower, that is, there is a lack of frequency conversion control.
[0008] Utility model CN202221328957.5 lacks communication equipment at the air conditioning terminal. The air supply temperature and humidity at the air conditioning terminal and the indoor temperature and humidity information are fed back to the cold source control center, which helps to formulate an appropriate chiller water supply temperature under the premise of energy saving to prevent the temperature and humidity processing requirements of the air conditioning terminal from being unable to be met.
[0009] Utility model CN202221135099.2, similar to utility model CN202222254522.7, lacks the input of temperature and humidity sensor signals of outdoor air.
[0010] Utility model CN201921866731.9 is similar to utility model CN202222254522.7, except that it only controls the chiller.
[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a controller that can consider transmitting the real-time occupancy rate to the refrigeration room, and combine other information for comprehensive judgment and energy-saving calculation, so that the hotel building can have greater energy-saving potential to solve the above technical problems.

[0039] In addition, this embodiment can also be combined with an optimization algorithm, such as Figure 1As shown, the controller in the refrigeration room energy-saving control submodule A1 is based on the overall energy consumption model of the refrigeration room affected by the energy consumption model of the chiller, the energy consumption model of the freezing pump, the energy consumption model of the cooling pump, the energy consumption model of the cooling tower and the energy consumption model of the occupancy rate of the staff, which is established based on the historical operation data. According to the information transmitted in real time by the hotel's real-time occupancy rate information A5, the air-conditioning terminal communication submodule A2, the refrigeration room communication submodule A3 and the sensor monitoring submodule A4, a PID control algorithm or an optimized PID algorithm (PID algorithm optimized by genetic algorithm, etc.) is adopted, with the current minimum overall energy consumption of the refrigeration room as the optimization goal, and the refrigeration equipment operation parameter instructions that are more energy-efficient than the overall power consumption of the refrigeration equipment in the current refrigeration room (including the power consumption of the chiller, the power consumption of the freezing pump, the power consumption of the cooling pump and the power consumption of the cooling tower) are optimized, and the refrigeration equipment operation parameter instructions are fed back to the chiller module, the freezing water pump module, the cooling water pump module and the cooling tower module through the refrigeration room communication submodule 3.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the output signal, i.e., the control instruction, is specifically, the chiller: start-stop signal, optimal chilled water supply temperature, optimal load rate; chilled water pump: start-stop state, optimal operating frequency; cooling water pump: start-stop state, optimal operating frequency; cooling tower: start-stop state, optimal operating frequency.
