Description

[0002] Because subway spaces are relatively enclosed and have high passenger flow, the central air conditioning system needs to bear a large load to meet the requirements of temperature, ventilation and humidity control. The circulating water system is an important component of the subway central air conditioning system. It uses circulating water to transfer heat from indoors to outdoors to achieve air cooling and heating. However, the pipes in the circulating water system are susceptible to corrosion.

[0003] Currently, corrosion inhibition measures for central air conditioning water systems in subway stations are lacking. The main approach is to add corrosion inhibitors to the circulating cooling water during summer operation, but the effect is not ideal. In winter, there is still a lack of effective means to prevent corrosion of circulating water pipes. In actual operation, some subway stations retain the water in the pipes without discharging it, but this poses a risk of freezing and cracking in cold regions. Moreover, due to the lack of corrosion prevention measures, the pipe corrosion is quite severe. If the water is drained, although the risk of freezing and cracking is avoided, the pipe corrosion is aggravated. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a corrosion prevention system for central air conditioning circulating water pipes is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0028] In summer, when the central air conditioning system is running and water is circulating in the pipes, the ozone corrosion inhibition process is used. The oxygen and nitrogen generators are started, and the molecular sieve adsorbs nitrogen. The oxygen that passes through is collected, pressurized, and used as the gas source for the ozone generation system. At the same time, the dry nitrogen gas desorbed by the molecular sieve is blown into the ozone generation equipment to reduce the humidity inside the equipment. The system takes a small amount of water from the user's circulating cooling water pipes and mixes it with the ozone gas produced by the integrated equipment in the gas-water mass transfer system to form ozone water.

[0029] Ozone water is injected into the circulating cooling water pipes to inhibit corrosion. At the same time, a multi-parameter water quality monitoring system monitors the conductivity and ozone concentration in the water in real time. When the concentration ratio is less than 3, no water is drained, and water is replenished according to the liquid level control. At this time, the ozone injection amount in the water is controlled at about 0.01 mg / L. As the concentration ratio increases to 5, automatic water replenishment and drainage are activated to ensure that the concentration ratio does not exceed 8, and the ozone injection amount is added according to the target value of 0.05 mg / L ozone concentration in the water. The injection amount adjustment control range is the lower limit of 0.01 mg / L to the upper limit of 0.1 mg / L.

[0030] In winter, when the temperature drops below freezing and the central air conditioning system is shut down, intelligent monitoring and drainage and nitrogen purging corrosion inhibition processes are activated to prevent pipes from freezing and cracking. When the circulating pump is shut down for more than one month and the outdoor circulating water temperature is below or equal to 0°C, the control system opens the circulating cooling water drain valve and vent valve to release water.

[0031] When the flow rate approaches 0 and does not rise for 5000 minutes, nitrogen production is automatically started and injected into the circulating water pipeline for purging. According to the internal program, after the purging time exceeds 48 hours and the humidity in the pipeline is less than 30%, the control system automatically closes the valves at both ends of the pipeline and continues to fill with nitrogen until the pressure in the pipeline reaches 2 bar. The nitrogen system then stops. When the pressure in the pipeline decreases to 1 bar, nitrogen is restarted to replenish to 2 bar, thus achieving nitrogen corrosion protection.

[0032] The integrated equipment automatically starts and stops the ozone corrosion inhibition process based on the collected pump start / stop and flow signals. When the circulating cooling water system stops operating, the automatic control stops the ozone injection at the same time. When the circulating pump starts, ozone injection continues. Based on the real-time monitoring data of the pump start / stop and outdoor water temperature, the integrated equipment automatically starts the system drainage and nitrogen purging corrosion inhibition processes. Based on the pump start / stop and flow signals, the integrated equipment intelligently selects oxygen or nitrogen generation. Both oxygen and nitrogen generation use PSA to separate nitrogen and oxygen in the air. Nitrogen is discharged during oxygen generation, and oxygen is discharged during nitrogen generation. During oxygen generation, the discharged nitrogen is collected and introduced into the ozone generator to dry the equipment and prevent condensation from damaging the equipment. The oxygen discharged during nitrogen generation can be discharged into the indoor fresh air system nearby or discharged locally.

[0033] After testing, this embodiment effectively prevents corrosion of circulating water pipes and extends their service life. The intelligent control system can automatically adjust anti-corrosion measures based on real-time monitoring data, improving the reliability and stability of the system. The combination of ozone corrosion inhibition and nitrogen purging corrosion inhibition processes provides effective anti-corrosion protection in different seasons. The use of oxygen and nitrogen generators reduces the system's operating costs and also reduces the impact on the environment. In summary, this central air conditioning circulating water pipe anti-corrosion system has achieved good results in practical applications and provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the central air conditioning system. Example 1

[0034] In summer, when the central air conditioning system is in operation and water is circulating in the pipes, a corrosion prevention process combining ozone corrosion inhibition and biological control is adopted. The ozone generation system is activated to produce a high concentration of ozone and distribute the ozone evenly in the circulating cooling water pipes. The ozone can oxidize organic matter and microorganisms in the circulating water, reducing the generation of dirt and corrosion.

[0035] Meanwhile, biological inhibitors are added to the makeup water tank and cooling tower pool to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the circulating water. The biological inhibitors can work synergistically with ozone to improve the anti-corrosion effect. The multi-parameter water quality monitoring system monitors parameters such as conductivity, ozone concentration, pH value, and microbial content in the water in real time and transmits the data to the control system. The control system automatically adjusts the dosage of ozone generation system and biological inhibitors based on the monitoring data to ensure the anti-corrosion effect while avoiding waste. In winter, when the temperature is below freezing and the central air conditioning system is shut down, intelligent insulation and nitrogen purging corrosion inhibition processes are activated to prevent pipes from freezing and cracking.

[0036] Intelligent insulation material is installed on the outer layer of the circulating cooling water pipe. This material can automatically adjust its insulation performance according to the water temperature inside the pipe, ensuring that the water temperature inside the pipe does not drop below the freezing point.

[0037] Simultaneously, nitrogen generated by the nitrogen and oxygen production system is used to purge the circulating water pipeline. During the purging process, the control system monitors the humidity and pressure inside the pipeline in real time and automatically adjusts the nitrogen flow rate and purging time based on the monitoring data to ensure that the humidity inside the pipeline is reduced to a safe range. When the humidity inside the pipeline reaches the required level, the nitrogen purging system is shut off, and nitrogen is continued to be introduced until the pressure inside the pipeline reaches a certain value. Then, the valve is closed to maintain the nitrogen pressure inside the pipeline, thereby achieving nitrogen corrosion prevention.

[0038] The integrated equipment automatically starts and stops the ozone corrosion inhibition process based on the collected pump start / stop and flow signals. When the circulating cooling water system stops operating, the automatic control simultaneously stops the ozone injection; when the circulating pump starts, ozone injection continues. Based on the real-time monitoring data of the pump start / stop and outdoor water temperature, the integrated equipment automatically starts the system drainage and nitrogen purging corrosion inhibition processes. Based on the pump start / stop and flow signals, the integrated equipment intelligently selects oxygen or nitrogen generation. Both oxygen and nitrogen generation use PSA to separate nitrogen and oxygen in the air. Nitrogen is discharged during oxygen generation, and oxygen is discharged during nitrogen generation. During oxygen generation, the discharged nitrogen is collected and introduced into the ozone generator to dry the equipment and prevent condensation from damaging the equipment. The oxygen discharged during nitrogen generation can be discharged into the indoor fresh air system nearby or discharged locally.

[0039] After testing, this embodiment, employing advanced materials and technologies, improves the system's corrosion resistance and reliability, extends the pipeline's service life, and allows the intelligent control system to automatically adjust anti-corrosion measures based on real-time monitoring data, enhancing the anti-corrosion effect and system stability. The combination of ozone corrosion inhibition and biological control, along with intelligent insulation and nitrogen purging corrosion inhibition processes, provides effective anti-corrosion protection in different seasons, reducing maintenance costs. The application of a distributed control system and wireless sensor network technology enables remote monitoring and management, improving the system's intelligence level and management efficiency. In summary, this innovative embodiment provides an efficient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly solution for the corrosion protection of central air conditioning circulating water pipelines, with broad application prospects.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
