Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning energy-saving technology, specifically a central air conditioning energy-saving control system based on green correction. Background Technology

[0002] Despite continuous development in central air conditioning systems, with new main units employing magnetic levitation and variable speed control technologies and placing greater emphasis on low power consumption and high efficiency, central air conditioning systems remain a major energy consumer for various organizations, urgently requiring further reductions in their energy consumption. Existing central air conditioning systems generally consist of two parts: 1. In winter, various types of pressurized and unpressurized boilers generate primary high-temperature hot water, which is then used to generate secondary hot water through heat exchangers and supplied to room coil fans for heating. 2. In summer, various types of chiller units are used with various cooling towers to dissipate heat from the condenser, and the chilled water output from the evaporator enters the room through the coil fan to cool the room.

[0003] Current air conditioning systems have the following three shortcomings and deficiencies in terms of energy management.

[0004] 1. The outlet and return water temperatures of the chiller unit, as well as the upper and lower limits of the hot water supply for the air conditioning boiler, are manually adjusted and set, which introduces considerable arbitrariness. This makes it difficult to match actual needs during seasonal temperature fluctuations, easily leading to energy waste.

[0005] 2. The air conditioning control relies on intrinsic factors such as the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water and the condenser pressure, without incorporating environmental variables and user needs. Especially when the temperature difference between day and night increases with seasonal changes, the system cannot automatically adjust parameters, resulting in significant energy loss.

[0006] 3. Air conditioning cooling and heating are two different control systems. After seasonal changes, resources such as frequency converters and sensors cannot be shared. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example: Basic data of this central air conditioning system. 150 tons of hot water for air conditioning, 600 fan coil units. The upper limit of the hot water boiler is set at 40 degrees Celsius, and the lower limit is 35 degrees Celsius. This is a central air conditioning system currently operating in winter heating mode.

[0033] Energy consumption scenario for 10 hours without using green correction: The thermodynamic formula for gas consumption, operating 600 fans under continuous heat load. Maintaining 150 tons of water at 40 degrees Celsius, but the water is circulated. Therefore, the boiler actually needs to maintain the water temperature at 40 degrees Celsius, while the fan coil units are constantly cooling the water. To maintain the water temperature, the boiler must match the heat removed by the fan coil units.

[0034] Therefore, the problem boils down to calculating the rate at which the fan coil unit removes heat.

[0035] Since there are 600 fan coil units, we need to know the thermal power of each fan.

[0036] Assume the thermal power of each fan coil unit. Typically, a single fan coil unit in a commercial building might provide 1-10 kW of heat, depending on size. 600 units could represent a large building, such as an office building or shopping mall. Assuming an average thermal power of 2 kW per fan coil unit, the total thermal power would be 600 * 2 = 1200 kW. If water is circulating and the supply and return water temperature difference is ΔT, then the thermal power Q = m_dot * c * ΔT, where m_dot is the mass flow rate. While "150 tons" refers to mass flow rate, i.e., 150 ton / h, a ton is a unit of mass, while flow rate is commonly used in fluids. / h or kg / h. 1 ton of water = 1000 kg, so 150 tons of water = 150,000 kg. But if this is mass flow rate, i.e., 150 ton / h = 150,000 kg / h, then the mass flow rate m_dot = 150,000 kg / h. Then the heat power Q = m_dot * c * ΔT. But ΔT is unknown. In air conditioning systems, the typical supply and return water temperature difference for hot water systems is 10-20°C. For example, if the supply water is 40°C and the return water is 30°C, then ΔT = 10°C. Then Q = 150,000 kg / h * 4.18 kJ / kg°C * 10°C = 150,000 * 4.18 * 10 kJ / h.

[0037] Therefore, for a water flow rate of 150 tons, ΔT = 10°C, and 10 hours of operation, approximately 1833 m³ is required. 3 natural gas.

[0038] The statement "maintaining 150 tons of hot water for air conditioning at 40 degrees Celsius" does not mention the return water temperature, so ΔT is unknown.

[0039] However, from the perspective of the fan coil unit load, ΔT is determined by the heat load and flow rate.

[0040] Since there are 600 fan coil units, we can estimate the temperature using their heat load. Based on previous calculations, each of the 600 fans is 3 kW, so Q = 1800 kW. Then, when the mass flow rate m_dot = 150,000 kg / h, ΔT = Q / (m_dot * c) = 1800 kW / (150,000 kg / h * 4.18 kJ / kg°C), we can derive ΔT ≈ 10.3°C, consistent with the assumption. Therefore, using ΔT = 10°C is reasonable.

[0041] Final answer: Approximately 1833 cubic meters of natural gas are needed to operate for 10 hours.

[0042] Energy consumption analysis of the green correction energy-saving controller over 10 hours: During this period, due to increased temperature, ample sunlight, and changes in 11 related parameters including room occupancy rate, humidity, air pressure, terminal temperature, and time, all conducive to energy conservation, the central air conditioning energy-saving control system performs joint calculations using multiple algorithm modes on the collected data variables, obtaining a green correction of -2. The energy-saving controller then inputs and superimposes this green correction, along with its algebraic sum, onto the original upper limit set for the air conditioning boiler.

[0043] After the green correction factor is applied, the upper limit of the water temperature is automatically reduced from 40 degrees Celsius to 38 degrees Celsius: supply water 38°C, return water 30°C. At this time, due to the rising air temperature, ample sunshine, and low occupancy rate, the heat dissipation of the duct fan decreases. With 150 tons of air conditioning water accumulating a large amount of heat, a new temperature difference between the supply and return water occurs. = 38°C - 30°C = 8°C. Heat load change ratio = 8°C / 10°C = 0.8; Natural gas consumption = 1834 m³ 3 × 0.8 ≈ 1467 .

[0044] The green correction control system automatically reduces the boiler water temperature from 40°C to 38°C. The impact on natural gas consumption depends entirely on the changes in the green correction and the boiler's operating status controlled by the energy-saving system, particularly the change in return water temperature. If the return water temperature remains constant (e.g., always at 30°C): this means the supply and return water temperature difference decreases from 10°C to 8°C. The system's heat load and natural gas consumption will decrease by 20%. Natural gas consumption drops to approximately 1467 kJ / L. (Running for 10 hours). This is the most typical energy-saving scenario.

[0045] The boiler's control panel displays real-time supply and return water temperatures. The supply water temperature is automatically set to 38°C. After running stably for a period of time, observe the return water temperature. If the return water temperature decreases compared to the original value, and the supply and return water temperature difference decreases, it indicates that natural gas is being saved.

[0046] The most accurate conclusion is that, while maintaining the same indoor heating effect and unchanged human comfort, optimizing the control through green correction (which typically increases the return water temperature or reduces the temperature difference) to lower the supply water temperature from 40°C to 38°C is expected to save 10% to 20% of natural gas consumption. In this case study, the gas consumption over 10 hours might decrease from 1834 kWh. dropped to 1467 It saves approximately 377 cubic meters of natural gas.

[0047] This invention integrates the cooling and heating functions of an air conditioner, automatically adjusting the temperature according to changes in environmental conditions. This prevents significant energy loss due to the system's inability to automatically adjust parameters when the temperature difference between day and night increases with seasonal changes.
