wherein when the multi-split air conditioner is in refrigeration operation, the plurality of indoor heat exchangers serve as the evaporator.
Based on the system of the multi-split air conditioner, when the multi-split air conditioner is used for refrigerating, the evaporator overheating prevention processing logic is as follows:
the multi-connected outdoor unit is simultaneously connected with a plurality of indoor units to operate in a refrigeration and dehumidification mode, and the operation of starting up the indoor unit is set according to a program to reach MInitial opening degree operation timeAnd (namely, the third preset time) entering a target exhaust control stage, and judging whether the evaporator is overheated or not after target exhaust is achieved. Introducing an evaporator overheating judgment parameter: t isThe superheat temperature of the evaporator is set to be,this judgment value is set to be the same for each evaporator:
Tevaporator superheat temperature＝Max(TEvaporator tube temperature-TTemperature of liquid pipe，TTrachea temperature-TTemperature of liquid pipe)
During refrigerating operation, if the evaporator is in an overheat state, the liquid pipe temperature TTemperature of liquid pipeWill be at a temperature T higher than that of the tracheaTrachea temperatureOr the temperature T of the tube temperature sensing bulb of the evaporator is detectedEvaporator tube temperatureThe temperature of 1 of the indoor units is low, the difference value between the detection temperature of the evaporator tube temperature sensing bulb and the temperature of the liquid tube is judged, the difference value between the temperature of the air tube and the temperature of the liquid tube is judged, the overheating condition of the evaporator corresponding to the indoor unit is judged according to the larger value of the two difference values, and the problem that the control program judges the overheating condition of the evaporator by mistake can be effectively avoided.
Program setting a judgment value TSet the evaporator superheat temperatureWhen T is calculated in real timeEvaporator superheat temperatureThe judgment value T is more than or equal to the program settingEvaporator superheat temperatureWhen the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator is insufficient, the evaporator is overheated, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve corresponding to the indoor unit is controlled not to be allowed to be reduced, so that the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator cannot be reduced, and the overheating condition is avoided being aggravated; continue to detect N1(i.e., first predetermined time) minutes later, if T is calculated in real timeEvaporator superheat temperatureThe judgment value T is more than or equal to the program settingSet the evaporator superheat temperatureWhen the evaporator is used, the opening of the electronic expansion valve corresponding to the indoor unit is controlled to be increased by M steps, so that the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator is increased, and the overheating condition is solved; with N2min (i.e. the second predetermined time) is the detection period, every N2Detecting and judging once after minutes, if T is calculated in real timeEvaporator superheat temperatureThe judgment value T is more than or equal to the program settingSet the evaporator superheat temperatureWhen the temperature is over, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve corresponding to the indoor unit is controlledContinuing to perform large M-step processing until T is calculated in real timeEvaporator superheat temperature< judgment value T set by programThe superheat temperature of the evaporator is set, and the superheat temperature of the evaporator is set,the electronic expansion valve is controlled to enter the above target superheat degree control. For the condition that a plurality of indoor units are simultaneously connected with the multi-connected outdoor unit to operate in the refrigeration and dehumidification modes, the program can simultaneously detect or sequentially detect the real-time T of each evaporatorTemperature of liquid pipe、TThe tube temperature of the evaporator,TTrachea temperatureBy simultaneous or sequential calculation of TEvaporator superheat temperatureSetting T simultaneously or sequentially with the programSet the evaporator superheat temperatureJudging, and finally calculating the superheat degree T of all evaporators in real timeEvaporator superheat temperatureAre all less than the target value T set by the programSet the evaporator superheat temperatureI.e., until all evaporators reach the programmed non-superheat condition. In addition, N is1And N2The same duration may be adopted, that is, the first preset time is the same as the second preset time, and both of them may be set to N minutes.
The above program sets TThe superheat temperature of the evaporator is set,The N minutes and the M steps can be set by a program.
Preferably, TSet the evaporator superheat temperatureThe set range is 2-5 ℃, which can ensure the reasonable degree of superheat of air suction of the system, prevent the liquid from being carried by the air suction of the compressor, and prevent the abnormal phenomena of condensation, freezing and the like caused by the overheat of the evaporator.
Preferably, the setting range of the N minutes is 2 minutes to 10 minutes, the opening of the expansion valve can be timely adjusted, meanwhile, different system adjusting time and adjusting speed are different, and different time can be set according to different systems.
Preferably, the setting range of the M steps is 4 steps to 10 steps, so that the opening degree of the expansion valve can be effectively adjusted, different systems correspond to expansion valves with different specifications, different adjustment steps can be set according to different specifications of the expansion valve, the adjustment steps can be selected to be small when the aperture of the expansion valve is small, and the adjustment steps can be selected to be large when the aperture of the expansion valve is large.
By the above control, it is possible to effectAvoid the multi-flow path evaporator to be in an overheated state originally, but the outlet temperature (air pipe temperature) of the multi-flow path refrigerant after gathering and flashing is low, namely TTrachea temperatureBelow TEvaporator tube temperatureThe program determines the target degree of superheat Δ T of the refrigeration as TTrachea temperature-TEvaporator tube temperatureIf the temperature is lower than the target delta T set by the program, the evaporator is not completely evaporated, so that the problem that the overheating state of the evaporator is judged by mistake by the program occurs.
The multiple indoor units simultaneously operate the target superheat degree control logic:
superheat degree delta T ═ T of refrigeration evaporatorTrachea temperature-TEvaporator tube temperature；
