Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Administration of the People's Republic of China on March 13, 2023, bearing application number 202310239288.7, for an invention entitled "Two-stage compression centrifugal device and method for controlling intermediate gas replenishment in a two-stage compression centrifugal device," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of refrigeration, and more particularly to a two-stage compression centrifugal device and its intermediate gas replenishment control method, and a heating device. [Background technology]
[0003] The two-stage compression centrifugal device uses an economizer between the stages to increase the enthalpy of the intermediate gas supply to improve energy efficiency, but the control method for the intermediate gas supply has the following problems:
[0004] The amount of gas replenishment is not controlled, resulting in poor energy efficiency and the risk of liquid in the replenishment gas (the replenishment gas contains liquid). No valves are added to the replenishment gas line, so the amount of gas replenishment is not adjusted. The dimensions of the economizer gas replenishment duct are determined based on the amount of gas replenishment at full load under the single-name designed operating condition. When the unit operates under certain loads or modulation modes, such as ice storage and air conditioning dual mode or air conditioning and heat recovery dual mode, the amount of gas replenishment may be too large or too small, preventing the enthalpy increase effect of gas replenishment from being fully realized and seriously affecting the reliable operation of the unit.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the gas supply valve is increased to control the gas supply amount, but this simply prevents the risk of gas supply leakage and performs rough control, and the gas supply amount is not accurately adjusted, so the gas supply amount is not in the optimal gas supply amount range. At the same time, the gas supply control cannot dynamically adjust to changes in load and operating mode, such as pressure ratio, outlet water temperature, and subcooling degree, so the gas supply increase enthalpy effect cannot be optimally exerted, and efficient and stable operation of the unit in all modes cannot be achieved.

[0036] 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a two-stage compression centrifugal device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, some embodiments of a first aspect of the present disclosure provide a two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 including a two-stage centrifugal compressor 2, an evaporator 8, a condenser 5, an economizer 7, a gas make-up valve 6, and a calculation module (not shown).
[0037] The first-stage intake port of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 is connected to the exhaust port of the evaporator 8, the second-stage exhaust port of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 is connected to the intake port of the condenser 5, and an economizer 7 is provided between the intake port of the evaporator 8 and the exhaust port of the condenser 5, and the economizer 7 is further connected to the first-stage exhaust port and the second-stage intake port of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2, respectively, by a gas make-up valve 6. The calculation module receives the operating parameters of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 and calculates the optimal gas make-up amount and the actual gas make-up amount based on the operating parameters of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 to adjust the opening degree of the gas make-up valve 6.
[0038] The two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 provided by the present disclosure includes a calculation module, which receives operating parameters of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100, calculates an optimal gas supply amount and an actual gas supply amount based on the operating parameters of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100, and adjusts the opening degree of the gas supply valve 6 so that the adjusted actual gas supply amount of the gas supply valve 6 is within the optimal gas supply amount range.
[0039] The two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 includes a first-stage compressor and a second-stage compressor, the first-stage compressor including a first-stage intake port and a first-stage exhaust port, and the two-stage compressor including a second-stage intake port and a second-stage exhaust port. The arrows in Fig. 1 indicate the direction of refrigerant flow. The first-stage intake port of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 is connected to the evaporator 8 by an intake pipe 1, and a first pressure sensor 11 and a first temperature sensor 12 are provided on this intake pipe 1 to measure the first-stage intake pressure P1 (the pressure of the refrigerant at the first-stage intake port) and the first-stage intake temperature T1 (the temperature of the refrigerant at the first-stage intake port). The first-stage exhaust port is connected to the second-stage intake port by a connecting pipe 3, and the refrigerant output from the first-stage exhaust port is sent to the second-stage intake port by the connecting pipe 3. A second pressure sensor 31 and a second temperature sensor 32 are provided on this connecting pipe 3. The second pressure sensor 31 measures the second-stage intake pressure P3' (the pressure of the refrigerant at the second-stage intake port), and the second temperature sensor 32 measures the second-stage intake temperature T3' (the temperature of the refrigerant at the second-stage intake port). The second-stage exhaust port of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 is connected to the condenser 5 by an exhaust pipe 4. A third pressure sensor 41 and a third temperature sensor 42 are provided on this exhaust pipe 4 to measure the second-stage exhaust pressure P4 (the pressure of the refrigerant at the second-stage exhaust port) and the second-stage exhaust temperature T4 (the temperature of the refrigerant at the second-stage exhaust port). The two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 receives low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator 8 through an intake pipe 1, compresses it in two stages to obtain high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant, and sends this high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant to a condenser 5 through an exhaust pipe 4.
[0040] The economizer 7 is connected to the connecting line 3 via a gas make-up line, and the gas make-up valve 6 is provided on the gas make-up line. The function of the economizer 7 is to provide intermediate gas make-up to the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2. That is, the economizer 7 sends additional refrigerant to the connecting line 3 via the gas make-up line, and the additional refrigerant is sent to the second-stage inlet of the second-stage compressor together with the refrigerant output from the first-stage outlet of the connecting line 3. The gas make-up valve 6 adjusts the make-up gas flow rate of the economizer 7. A fourth pressure sensor 61 and a fourth temperature sensor 62 are both provided on the gas make-up line. Specifically, the fourth pressure sensor 61 and the fourth temperature sensor 62 are both provided on a segment of the gas make-up line between the gas make-up valve 6 and the connecting line 3. Thus, the fourth pressure sensor 61 and the fourth temperature sensor 62 measure the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant output from the gas make-up valve 6. The fourth pressure sensor 61 measures the pressure of the refrigerant output from the gas make-up valve 6 and is defined as a gas make-up pressure P6, the fourth temperature sensor measures the temperature of the refrigerant output from the gas make-up valve 6 and is defined as a gas make-up temperature T6. The fifth pressure sensor 9 measures the pressure of the refrigerant in the condenser 5 and this pressure is defined as a condenser pressure P5, and the sixth pressure sensor 13 measures the pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator 8 and this pressure is defined as an evaporator pressure P8.
[0041] Referring to FIG. 2, 4 to 5 indicate the refrigerant flowing through the condenser 5. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the coolant in the condenser 5, transferring heat to the coolant and condensing the refrigerant gas into a high-pressure liquid. During this process, the refrigerant pressure remains constant but the enthalpy value decreases, i.e., the temperature decreases. 5 to 6 indicate the refrigerant flowing through the first-stage throttle valve 10. During this process, the refrigerant flow rate is restricted, so the temperature remains constant but the pressure decreases. 7 to 8 indicate the refrigerant flowing through the second-stage throttle valve 14. During this process, the refrigerant flow rate is restricted, so the temperature remains constant but the pressure decreases. 8 to 1 indicate the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator 8. During this process, the refrigerant pressure remains constant but the enthalpy value increases, i.e., the temperature increases, indicating the refrigerant evaporates. 1 to 3 indicate the operating process of the first-stage compressor. During this process, the refrigerant pressure increases and the temperature increases. 3 to 3' indicate the gas replenishment process. During this process, the pressure remains constant but the enthalpy value increases. 3' to 4 show the operation process of the two-stage compressor, during which the refrigerant pressure increases and the temperature rises.
[0042] The first pressure sensor 11, the first temperature sensor 12, the second pressure sensor 31, the second temperature sensor 32, the third pressure sensor 41, the third temperature sensor 42, the fourth pressure sensor 61, the fourth temperature sensor 62, the fifth pressure sensor 9, and the sixth pressure sensor 13 are all communicatively connected (specifically, electrically connected) to the calculation module, and the calculation module can receive the pressure parameters measured by the pressure sensors and the temperature parameters measured by the temperature sensors in real time. The first pressure sensor 11, the first temperature sensor 12, the second pressure sensor 31, the second temperature sensor 32, the third pressure sensor 41, the third temperature sensor 42, the fourth pressure sensor 61, the fourth temperature sensor 62, the fifth pressure sensor 9, and the sixth pressure sensor 13 constitute the collection module.
[0043] The collection module is designed to measure the input power W of the two-stage centrifugal compressor. comp and the total heat exchange amount of the compressor Q loss The input power W of the two-stage centrifugal compressor can be collected in real time and transmitted to the calculation module. comp and the total heat exchange amount of the compressor Q lossThe input power W of the two-stage centrifugal compressor can be received in real time. comp can be obtained by multiplying the current and voltage input to the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2, whereby the calculation module calculates W comp The total heat exchange rate of the compressor is Q loss =Q air.con +Q air.rad +Q ref Q air.con is the amount of convective heat exchange between the two-stage centrifugal compressor and the air, and Q air.rad is the amount of radiant heat exchange in the two-stage centrifugal compressor, and Q ref is the heat carried away by the refrigerant.
[0044] The calculation module stores a temperature, pressure, and enthalpy value comparison table for various refrigerants, as well as a saturation pressure and enthalpy value comparison table. For a specific refrigerant, after its temperature and pressure are determined, its enthalpy value can be uniquely determined in the temperature, pressure, and enthalpy value comparison table. The refrigerants may be R134A, R123, R245fa, R1233zd(E), R1336mzz(Z), R1224yd(Z), R514A, R1234ze(E), R513A, or R5158B. In this embodiment, the refrigerant is R134A. The first-stage intake pressure P1 and first-stage intake temperature T1 are obtained from the temperature, pressure, and enthalpy value comparison table for R134A, and then the enthalpy value h of the first-stage intake is calculated. 0[1] After obtaining the second stage intake pressure P3' and the second stage intake temperature T3', the enthalpy value h of the second stage intake of the compressor 0[3´] The second-stage exhaust pressure P4, the second-stage exhaust temperature T4 can be determined, and the enthalpy value h of the second-stage exhaust port can be obtained. 0[4] The gas supply pressure P6 and gas supply temperature T6 can be determined, and the enthalpy value h of the gas supply valve can be obtained. 0[3] The enthalpy value of the condenser, h 0[5]represents the enthalpy value of the refrigerant in the condenser 5. The condenser pressure P5 is acquired, and in some embodiments (when there is no subcooling in the condenser), the condenser pressure P5 is the saturation pressure of the refrigerant in the condenser. This saturation pressure is measured by the fifth pressure sensor 9, and the condenser enthalpy value h is calculated based on a saturation pressure vs. enthalpy value table. 0[5] Alternatively, in some embodiments (when the condenser has no subcooling), the condenser pressure P5 is the pressure of the refrigerant at the condenser outlet, and the temperature of the refrigerant at the condenser outlet is further measured, and the condenser enthalpy value h is determined based on a temperature, pressure and enthalpy value comparison table. 0[5] h 0[7] represents the enthalpy value at the economizer outlet. From the pressure and enthalpy value diagram in Figure 2, it can be seen that the enthalpy value does not change from the economizer 7 to the evaporator 8. Therefore, although a two-stage throttle valve 14 is installed between the economizer 7 and the evaporator 8, the pressure drop enthalpy value of the two-stage throttle valve 14 does not change, and the economizer outlet enthalpy value h 0[7] is numerically equal to the evaporator enthalpy value, which represents the refrigerant enthalpy value in the evaporator, so the evaporator pressure P8 can be measured by the sixth pressure sensor 13 to obtain the evaporator pressure P8. In some embodiments, the evaporator pressure P8 is the saturation pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator, and the evaporator enthalpy value can be determined based on a saturation pressure vs. enthalpy value comparison table, and the evaporator enthalpy value can be used as the economizer outlet enthalpy value h 0[7] It is calculated as follows.
[0045] The calculation module stores an energy conservation equation established using the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 as a control body.
[0046]
number
[0047] The calculation module stores the energy conservation equation established with the economizer 7 as the control body.
[0048]
number
[0049] From the above two equations, the actual gas replenishment amount Δm is calculated as follows:
[0050]
number
[0051] m1: refrigerant mass in the first stage of circulation compression of a two-stage centrifugal compressor, W comp : input power of two-stage centrifugal compressor, Q loss : total heat exchange amount of two-stage centrifugal compressor, h 0[1] : Enthalpy value of the first stage intake, h 0[3] : Enthalpy value of gas supply valve, h 0[3´] : Enthalpy value of two-stage intake, h 0[4] : Enthalpy value of the two-stage exhaust port, h 0[5] : condenser enthalpy value, h 0[7] : Economizer outlet enthalpy value.
[0052] To calculate the optimal gas replenishment amount Tδm, the energy conservation equation is established again.
[0053]
number
[0054] Unlike the energy conservation equation established to calculate the actual gas replenishment amount, h 0[3´] h 0[3´´] is replaced by, where h 0[3´´] is the enthalpy value of the optimal two-stage inlet. The enthalpy value of the optimal two-stage inlet h 0[3´´]is determined by combining the target second stage intake pressure Pmth, the second stage intake temperature T3', and the temperature, pressure and enthalpy value comparison table stored in the calculation module, where the target second stage intake pressure Pmth=(P5*P8)^0.5, where P5 is the condenser pressure and P8 is the evaporator pressure.
[0055] The optimum gas replenishment amount Tδm is calculated again using the two energy conservation equations.
[0056]
number
[0057] m1: refrigerant mass in the first stage of circulation compression of a two-stage centrifugal compressor, W comp : input power of two-stage centrifugal compressor, Q loss : total heat exchange amount of two-stage centrifugal compressor, h 0[1] : Enthalpy value of the first stage intake, h 0[3] : Enthalpy value of gas supply valve, h 0[3´´] : Optimal two-stage intake enthalpy value, h 0[4] : Enthalpy value of the two-stage exhaust port, h 0[5] : condenser enthalpy value, h 0[7] : Economizer outlet enthalpy value.
[0058] After the calculation module calculates the optimal gas supply amount Tδm and the actual gas supply amount δm, it sends the optimal gas supply amount Tδm and the actual gas supply amount δm to the control module and issues a gas supply valve adjustment command. The control module is communicatively connected to the calculation module, specifically, electrically connected to the calculation module. The control module receives the optimal gas supply amount Tδm and the actual gas supply amount δm, and adjusts the opening of the gas supply valve 6 using the optimal gas supply amount Tδm as a control target and the actual gas supply amount δm as a feedback value. If the optimal gas supply amount Tδm is greater than the actual gas supply amount δm, the opening of the gas supply valve 6 is increased. If the optimal gas supply amount Tδm is equal to the actual gas supply amount δm, the opening of the gas supply valve 6 is maintained. If the optimal gas supply amount Tδm is less than the actual gas supply amount δm, the opening of the gas supply valve 6 is decreased.
[0059] The control module can further determine the range for adjusting the opening degree of the gas supply valve 6 based on the difference between the optimum gas supply amount Tδm and the actual gas supply amount δm. After the adjustment, the opening degree of the gas supply valve 6 is the first opening degree. Because the calculation module makes the actual gas supply amount δm of the gas supply valve 6 approach the optimum gas supply amount Tδm in real time, the actual gas supply amount δm can fall into the optimum gas supply amount range, thereby achieving a better gas supply effect.
[0060] After adjusting the opening degree of the gas make-up valve 6 to the first opening degree, the control module further obtains the second-stage intake superheat Tsh3' at the second-stage intake port. Alternatively, the control module obtains the second-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 at the second-stage exhaust port and determines whether the second-stage intake superheat Tsh3' is within a preset range. Alternatively, the control module determines whether the second-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 is within a preset range, and if the second-stage intake superheat Tsh3' is within the preset range or the second-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 is also within the preset range, the gas make-up valve 6 maintains the first opening degree.
[0061] The method for calculating the second-stage intake superheat Tsh3' is to obtain the second-stage intake pressure P3' and the second-stage intake temperature T3', and then obtain the saturation temperature TP3' corresponding to the second-stage intake pressure P3' using the second-stage intake pressure P3', and then the second-stage intake superheat Tsh3' = T3' - TP3'. The method for calculating the second-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 is to obtain the second-stage exhaust pressure P4 and the second-stage exhaust temperature T4, and then obtain the saturation temperature Tp4 corresponding to the second-stage exhaust pressure P4 using the second-stage exhaust pressure P4, and then the second-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 = T4 - Tp4.
[0062] Furthermore, if the two-stage intake superheat Tsh3' is less than the predetermined intake superheat lower limit value, or if the two-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 is less than the predetermined exhaust superheat lower limit value, the control module controls the gas make-up valve 6 to reduce its opening, and if the two-stage intake superheat is greater than the predetermined intake superheat Tsh3' upper limit value, or if the two-stage exhaust superheat Tsh4 is greater than the predetermined exhaust superheat upper limit value, the control module energy adjusts and controls the gas make-up valve 6 (energy adjustment and control means controlling the amount of refrigerant circulating by adjusting the opening of the gas make-up valve 6).
[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the control module energy adjusts and controls the gas replenishment valve 6, the control module obtains the second-stage intake pressure P3' and determines whether the second-stage intake pressure P3' has reached the current target second-stage intake pressure value Pmth; if the second-stage intake pressure P3' has not reached the current target intake pressure value Pmth, the control module controls the opening degree of the gas replenishment valve 6 to be larger or smaller, so that the second-stage intake pressure P3' reaches the current target intake pressure value Pmth.
[0064] After adjusting the opening of the gas supply valve 6 to the first opening, the actual gas supply amount δm is adjusted a second time as described above, thereby avoiding the risk of gas supply zone liquid leakage and realizing safe and reliable operation of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100.
[0065] The beneficial effects of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 provided by the present disclosure are as follows: First, the first stage intake pressure P1, the first stage intake temperature T1, the second stage intake pressure P3', the second stage intake temperature T3', the gas make-up pressure P6, the gas make-up temperature T6, the second stage exhaust pressure P4, the second stage exhaust temperature T4, the condenser pressure P5, and the evaporator pressure P8 are measured in real time by a plurality of temperature sensors and a plurality of pressure sensors. The calculation module receives these temperature parameters and pressure parameters and calculates the input power W of the two-stage centrifugal compressor. comp and the total heat exchange amount of the compressor Q loss The calculation module of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 substitutes the above operating parameters into the energy conservation equation established as the control body of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 stored therein and the energy conservation equation established as the control body of the economizer 7 to calculate the optimal gas replenishment amount Tδm and the actual gas replenishment amount δm, and adjusts the aperture of the gas replenishment valve 6. If the actual gas replenishment amount δm is different from the optimal gas replenishment amount Tδm, the module issues a gas replenishment valve adjustment command, and the control module receives the optimal gas replenishment amount Tδm and the actual gas replenishment amount δm. The optimal gas replenishment amount Tδm is used as the control target and the actual gas replenishment amount δm is used as the feedback value to adjust the aperture of the gas replenishment valve 6, thereby adjusting the actual gas replenishment amount δm to approach the optimal gas replenishment amount Tδm in real time, and the adjusted actual gas replenishment amount δm is within the optimal gas replenishment amount range. Next, by installing pressure sensors and temperature sensors and adding a calculation module, the actual gas supply amount δm and the optimal gas supply amount Tδm can be calculated, which realizes low-cost and accurate detection of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100. With high detection accuracy, the actual gas supply amount δm of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 can be accurately controlled. When the actual gas supply amount δm of the gas supply valve 6 is within the optimal gas supply amount range, the structural complexity of the two-stage compression centrifugal device 100 is not increased, and the online self-adaptation of the gas supply amount can be dynamically adjusted according to changes in load and operating mode, and the advantages of the gas supply increase enthalpy of the two-stage centrifugal compressor 2 can be fully utilized.
