Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of energy efficiency evaluation for the energy-saving transformation of central air conditioners, and particularly relates to a portable air conditioner energy efficiency evaluation box. Background Art
[0002] Under general air-conditioning conditions, the rated energy efficiency of water-cooled chillers is between 0.60 and 0.8 kW / TON, but the actual operation of water-cooled chillers fluctuates within a large energy efficiency range of 0.25 - 1.0 kW / TON. The operating power consumption = cumulative cooling capacity × average energy efficiency. Under the condition of the same cumulative required cooling capacity, the level of average energy efficiency determines the level of equipment operating costs. However, the actual operating performance of the equipment generally has a low operating energy efficiency, and the energy efficiency fluctuates and deviates greatly under different operating conditions and equipment maintenance states, indicating a large energy-saving space. Therefore, the development of an energy efficiency evaluation box provides great reference significance for the energy-saving transformation, optimized operation, and energy efficiency improvement of central air conditioners.
[0003] Currently, most of the energy efficiency detection methods for chillers on-site are to use different measuring instruments to detect and record various parameters: water flow rate, water temperature value, equipment power consumption, etc., and then summarize the data through manual operation and with the help of a computer for calculation. There is no dedicated device or independent unit to diagnose the energy efficiency performance of chillers in real time and make judgments.
[0004] Currently, the typical methods for energy efficiency diagnosis and analysis of chillers are as follows:
[0005] 1. Experienced professional engineers analyze and evaluate the operating parameters of the equipment to obtain rough empirical analysis results;
[0006] Some building automation integration systems detect cooling capacity and power consumption online through sensors and other detection boxes and meters. Although they can also obtain the results of monitoring the energy efficiency of the equipment, they do not perform real-time energy efficiency diagnosis on chillers. At the same time, because there are very few building automation systems with this function on the market that are in normal use, and because the building automation system is huge and costly, it belongs to a system integration project.

[0045] Embodiment 1:
[0046] Please refer to Figure 1-8 , this embodiment provides a portable air conditioner energy efficiency evaluation box including a box body 10. The box body 10 adopts a suitcase-type structure, and a lower-layer installation cavity 12 and an upper-layer installation cavity 11 are formed inside the box body 10;
[0047] The upper-layer installation cavity 11 of the box body 10 is embedded with a human-machine interface unit 111; the human-machine interface unit 111 has a display panel, and the display panel is used to display digital content; a power module 121, a field acquisition module 122, an energy efficiency calculation module 123, a first communication module 124, and a second communication module 125 are arranged in the lower-layer installation cavity 12 of the box body 10; the upper and lower layers are arranged to make full use of the internal space of the chassis. A support frame can be arranged in the box body 10 to fix each module part. The support frame can be made of a composite material with pressure-bearing and shock-absorbing properties to prevent the plug joints from loosening due to the shaking of the air conditioner energy efficiency evaluation box during the moving process.
[0048] It also includes a power consumption acquisition unit 20, a flow acquisition unit 30, a temperature acquisition unit 40, a temperature and humidity acquisition unit 50, and a pressure acquisition unit externally arranged on the box body 10; measurement devices such as the power consumption acquisition unit 20, the flow acquisition unit 30, the temperature acquisition unit 40, the temperature and humidity acquisition unit 50, and the pressure acquisition unit are placed on-site and led back to the evaluation box through a centralized power supply and acquisition method.
[0049] The power collection unit 20, flow rate collection unit 30, temperature collection unit 40, temperature and humidity collection unit 50, and pressure collection unit are respectively connected to the on-site collection module 122 in a detachable manner through a 485 bus using an aviation connector assembly 126; the on-site collection module 122 is connected to the energy efficiency calculation module 123 through a signal line;
[0050] The on-site collection module 122 of this embodiment simultaneously has the functions of power measurement, flow rate measurement, temperature measurement, temperature and humidity measurement, and pressure measurement, with high integration, convenient wiring, and further optimized the internal space of the cabinet 10. The energy efficiency calculation module 123 calculates the air conditioner energy efficiency value from the operation data obtained by the on-site collection module 122, and the air conditioner energy efficiency value is displayed through the human-machine interface unit 111; the first communication module 124 is a router with 4G Internet access function, and is used for Internet access through the first communication module 124; the second communication module 125 is a data cloud WEB gateway, and the on-site data and air conditioner energy efficiency data are packaged and uploaded to the cloud through the gateway.
[0051] Specifically, the aviation connector assembly 126 includes an aviation quick connector and an aviation quick plug; one side of the aviation quick connector is fixed on the surface of the cabinet 10, and the other side extends into the lower installation cavity 12 and is connected to the on-site collection module 122; the power collection unit 20, flow rate collection unit 30, temperature collection unit 40, temperature and humidity collection unit 50, and pressure collection unit are respectively connected to the aviation quick plug in a daisy-chain manner through a 485 bus, so as to ensure the reliability and stability of the communication line.
[0052] The flow rate collection unit 30 has a flow rate detection probe and a temperature detection probe, and both the flow rate detection probe and the temperature detection probe are externally attached detection probes; the flow rate detection probe and the temperature detection probe are respectively attached to the measured pipeline through a tensioner. The flow rate collection unit 30 of this embodiment uses a patch-type flow sensor. During use, there is no need for fire welding, no need to damage the pipeline waterway, and even no need to stop the host. Only need to set parameters such as the pipeline material, inner and outer diameters, and fluid medium on the ultrasonic energy meter, and it will automatically calculate the installation distance. According to this distance, the upstream and downstream induction patches of the ultrasonic flow sensor are attached to the pipeline, and then tightened with a cloth belt or a tensioner.
[0053] The temperature acquisition unit 40 is a temperature transmitter, which is designed with digital display integrated. The temperature acquisition unit 40 has an external probe, and the external probe of the temperature acquisition unit 40 is attached to the pipeline to be measured through a tensioner. Specifically, the temperature acquisition unit 40 uses a patch-type platinum resistance temperature sensor. Apply the randomly attached coupling agent with a thickness of 2-3 mm on the signal generating body of the sensor, and then stick the sensor tightly on the pipe wall. There should be no air or gravel between the sensor and the pipe wall. After the sensor is positioned, fasten it with a cloth belt or a tensioner. The whole installation process can be completed without using fire or welding.
[0054] The power acquisition unit 20 uses a dedicated clamp-on current transformer or Rogowski coil current transformer to collect current. For voltage acquisition, it can be directly adsorbed on the three-phase power supply of the loop switch with a magnetic steel wire, or it can be clamped on the three-phase power supply in the way of alligator clips.
[0055] Since most power inlet switches are fixed and installed with hexagonal screws, it is the most convenient to directly adsorb the magnetic steel wire on the three-phase power supply of the loop switch. If the space is not conducive to operation, the alligator clip method can also be used to clamp on the three-phase power supply. The current can be collected at the upper or lower end of the switch, depending on the on-site space. For a clamp-on current transformer, only need to open the opening of the current transformer and clamp the power inlet wire. For a Rogowski coil, only need to open the opening of the Rogowski coil, wind it around the power inlet wire for one circle, and then lock it. The whole process is easy and simple, without the need to remove screws and without the need to stop the main machine.
[0056] Attention should be paid to the phase sequence of the three-phase voltage and current during voltage and current acquisition. The ABC three phases should correspond one by one. Attention should also be paid to the direction of the current during current acquisition, P1 in and P2 out or the direction of the arrow on the Rogowski coil, and install it in the arrow direction from top to bottom.
[0057] The other parts of this energy efficiency detection box are mainly movable measurement sensor probe devices, whose cable lengths are relatively long and need to be installed on relevant equipment of the on-site air-conditioning main unit during measurement, such as the three-phase current and power transformer, the upstream and downstream induction probe parts of the ultrasonic flow sensor, and the chilled water inlet and outlet temperature probe parts. These parts are separated from the energy efficiency detection instrument when not in use and need to be connected to the energy efficiency detection box when in use. All connection parts between these probe devices and the energy efficiency detection box use fast aviation plugs. The connection of the whole sensor does not require tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches, and the plug-type connection is adopted throughout the process to achieve fast disassembly and assembly, greatly improving the work efficiency.
[0058] The energy efficiency detection box of the portable central air-conditioning chilled water host in this embodiment adopts a box design. The box body 10 includes a box cover 13 and a box body 14. The lower installation cavity 12 and the upper installation cavity 11 are formed inside the box body 14. One side of the box cover 13 is hinged to the box body 14, so that the box cover 13 can be turned relative to the box body 14 to cover or open. A lock assembly 15 is arranged outside the connection between the box cover 13 and the box body 14, and the box cover 13 and the box body 14 can be locked in the closed state through the lock assembly 15.
[0059] Rubber handles are installed above and on both side surfaces of the outer side of the box body 14. When not in use, in the closed state, the box body 10 can be used as a suitcase, which is convenient for carrying and moving. When measurement is required, only the plug of the probe needs to be inserted into the corresponding connector at the lower part of the box body 10, and each sensor probe part is installed at the corresponding position, such as Figure 5 All the on-site detection layout block diagrams shown are acceptable.
[0060] Caster wheels are installed on the outer side of the box body 14. The caster wheels and the handles are arranged on opposite sides of the box body 14. A telescopic handle 16 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 14. The telescopic handle 16 can be retracted into the bottom of the box body 14 or extended to the opposite side of the caster wheels, which is convenient for pulling and moving. Measuring equipment, cable tools, etc. are uniformly placed through a separate trolley case. It is equivalent to going out for measurement, and only this energy efficiency detection box and the measurement equipment toolbox need to be brought.
[0061] In some preferred embodiments, in addition to having the function of measuring the energy efficiency of the central air-conditioning host, this energy efficiency detection box also has several other auxiliary functions. The operator can operate or view on the man-machine interface unit 111, such as functions of real-time operation page, curve viewing, historical record query, and viewing other auxiliary parameters.
[0062] Among them, the curve viewing function is to view the trends of energy efficiency value, cooling capacity, power consumption, temperature, and flow rate in the form of curves, which more intuitively and vividly shows the change status and trends of these parameters during the measurement period.
[0063] For historical record query, it can support inputting the start and end times to query the measurement historical records within this time period, or it can also trace back from the current time to query the recent several historical records. And it supports exporting in formats such as xls, cvs, etc. The exported files can be stored in a USB flash drive for archiving or printing output.
[0064] Viewing of other auxiliary parameters includes measured inlet / outlet water temperature, flow rate, three-phase current / voltage, frequency, active power, reactive power, power factor, cooling capacity, etc. The operator can have a more comprehensive understanding of the host status through these parameters.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 5 the on-site detection layout block diagram shown in the figure. The operation process of the energy efficiency detection box in this embodiment is as follows:
[0066] First, connect each sensor to the energy efficiency detection box. It uses quick plugs. Just connect them one by one according to the text prompts on the energy efficiency evaluation box. Before starting to detect the host, it is necessary to perform metrological calibration on the energy efficiency detection box. Specifically:
[0067] (1) Calibrate the temperature sensors of the temperature acquisition unit 40. Press the two temperature sensors closely against the pipe wall, apply thermal conductive silicone on the contact surface between the sensor and the pipe wall, and observe whether the temperature readings of the two temperature sensors are the same on the portable energy efficiency detection box. Compare whether this temperature reading is the same as the data on the panel of the human-machine interface unit 111. If they are all the same, it proves that the temperature sensors are working properly.
[0068] (2) Press the flow induction probe of the ultrasonic flow sensor of the flow acquisition unit 30 against the pipe wall. There is water flowing in the pipe. Adjust the position of the induction probe so that the two probes are on the same horizontal plane and are separated by a distance of 5-8 cm. Observe the instrument panel of the ultrasonic flow sensor. If there is a value, it means that the ultrasonic sensor is working properly.
[0069] (3) Clamp the three-phase clamp-on current transformers of the power acquisition unit 20 on the three power supply inlets of the host respectively, and observe whether there is current display on the human-machine interface unit 111 of the energy efficiency detection box or on the instrument locally. If there is a display, compare it with the working current of the host to see if the values are the same. If they are not the same, check whether the current transformation ratio is not set correctly according to the actual situation. If they are the same, it proves that the power detection module is normal.
[0070] If all of these are normal, the next step of the detection work can be started. If a certain item still cannot work properly after adjustment, then it is necessary to replace or repair the detection unit and repeat the above calibration work until all these detection sensors are working properly.
[0071] Install the energy meter temperature probe on the pipe walls of the chilled water inlet / outlet of the central air-conditioning chiller respectively. It should be noted that it needs to be closely attached, with thermal conductive silicone applied in the middle, and fastened with a cloth belt or a tensioner. The installation of the temperature sensing part is then completed. Then, input or select the inner and outer diameters of the chilled water pipe, the pipe wall material, the fluid medium, etc. one by one in the menu of the ultrasonic flow sensor. The ultrasonic instrument will automatically calculate an installation distance, which is the installation distance between the upstream probe and the downstream probe of the ultrasonic flow sensor. Install the two probes on the chilled water pipe wall according to this distance. The installation requirements are similar to those of the temperature sensor, and it needs to be closely attached. Apply the matching contact agent to the contact surface between the pipe wall and the sensor. The two probes need to be installed on the same horizontal surface. Select the item of viewing the signal strength in the menu on the instrument. If the signal strength value > 60, the ultrasonic flow sensor can work normally. If it does not reach 60, the installation position needs to be adjusted or the outer wall of the pipe needs to be slightly polished.
[0072] After the installation is completed, the energy efficiency measurement work can be carried out. Generally, according to different hosts, the detection time is generally 0.5 hours - 2 hours. It is recommended not to be less than 0.5 hours, otherwise the sample is too small, which may cause inaccurate detection. Connect the power supply of the energy efficiency box, and the energy efficiency detection box will automatically start running to detect the energy efficiency. During this period, no manual intervention by personnel is required, and all are automatically run by the detection box.
[0073] All parameters during the detection process will be stored in the industrial control computer built into the energy efficiency detection box and transmitted to the cloud system in real time through the second communication module 125. The data can be exported directly by inputting the time node when needed.
[0074] Another problem to be solved by the air-conditioning energy efficiency evaluation box in this embodiment is the precise processing of the actual detected average energy efficiency value. During the actual operation and measurement process, the power consumption and refrigeration of the host are both constantly changing processes. With different conditions such as the cooling demand, load change, and ambient temperature and humidity, the energy efficiency of the chiller is actually in a constantly changing state. This results in the real-time energy efficiency value obtained by measurement being an unstable value that is constantly changing, with limited reference significance and practical use, and also causes inaccuracy of the average energy efficiency value.
[0075] Moreover, during the process of the host being loaded or unloaded, or during the start-up and operation of adjacent host water pumps, it may cause a sudden increase in water volume or a sudden change in electrical load. Since the change in temperature is a relatively gentle process, a sudden change in the state will cause the energy efficiency value calculated by E = P / Q to be too large or too small. If this part of the energy efficiency value is included in the calculation, it will cause a certain degree of distortion compared with the actual average energy efficiency value. In this embodiment, an algorithm is built into the energy efficiency calculation module 123, and thresholds for flow rate, temperature, and power are set. When the change rate of the flow rate, temperature, or power is too fast and exceeds the thresholds of these physical quantities, the calculation module will automatically process these data separately and not include them in the calculation of the average energy efficiency. Only when these measurement parameters return below the thresholds and are in a normal working state will they be included in the measurement of the average energy efficiency. Although some components and embodiments of the present application have been illustrated and described, many modifications and changes can be conceived by those skilled in the art without actually departing from the scope and spirit of the claims (for example, changes in the size, dimensions, structure, shape and proportion, installation arrangement, material use, color, orientation, etc. of each component).
[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention cannot be limited by this. Any non-substantive changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
