As a preferable control manner, in step S102, if the actual demand load of the system is greater than a first preset load and less than a second preset load, the controller further obtains the outdoor ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor; and jointly making a judgment according to the actual demand load of the system and the outdoor environment temperature, and correspondingly controlling the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 to alternatively operate based on the joint judgment result.
It should be noted that, the specific setting values of the first preset load and the second preset load are not limited in any way, and those skilled in the art can set the setting values according to the model and the actual operating condition of the cascade heat pump system. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific control manner of the controller for controlling the operation states of the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 according to the actual demand load of the system and the outdoor ambient temperature, and the controller can be set by a person skilled in the art.
As a specific control mode, the controller may determine the third preset load according to the obtained outdoor environment temperature; of course, the present invention does not limit the specific determination method, and those skilled in the art can set the determination method according to actual needs. For example, a one-to-one mapping relationship may be established first, and then the only third preset load may be determined through the outdoor environment temperature; for another example, an image model may be created in the computer, and the unique third preset load may be determined by inputting the acquired outdoor ambient temperature into the image model.
Further, as a preferred determination method, the process of determining the third preset load according to the outdoor environment temperature specifically includes steps S103 to S104, and a graph of a relationship between the system energy efficiency ratio and the outdoor environment temperature is established and recorded as a first energy efficiency graph under the condition that the fluorine pump 22 is operated and the second compressor 21 is not operated; under the condition that the second compressor 21 is operated and the fluorine pump 22 is not operated, a relation graph of the system energy efficiency ratio and the outdoor environment temperature under different operation loads is established and recorded as a second energy efficiency graph. Next, in step S105, based on the first energy efficiency graph and the second energy efficiency graph, the controller determines the third preset load according to the outdoor environment temperature, so as to effectively improve accuracy of subsequent determination, and further improve heat exchange efficiency to the maximum extent.
It should be noted that, the specific execution order of step S103 and step S104 is not limited in any way, and step S103 and step S104 may be executed simultaneously or may be executed sequentially without being divided; the specific execution time of step S103 and step S104 is not limited in any way, and is preferably configured in the storage module of the controller directly before shipment, which is not restrictive, and can be set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations.
Further preferably, in step S106, the controller compares the actual system demand load with the third preset load, and controls the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 to alternatively operate according to the comparison result between the actual system demand load and the third preset load. Based on the control mode, the actual operation condition of the cascade heat pump system can be matched with the heat exchange requirement all the time, and further the heat exchange efficiency is effectively improved.
Specifically, in step S107, if the actual system demand load is less than or equal to the third preset load, the controller controls the fluorine pump 22 to operate so as to effectively reduce the energy consumption while ensuring the heat exchange demand, and at this time, the first control valve 31 is closed and the second control valve 41 is opened. Further, in step S108, if the actual system demand load is greater than the third preset load, the controller controls the second compressor 21 to operate so as to effectively ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the cascade heat pump system, where the first control valve 31 is opened and the second control valve 41 is closed.
To further illustrate the above control logic, the content shown in fig. 4 is taken as an example to illustrate: as shown in fig. 4, the third preset load is a load at a crossing point of the first energy efficiency graph and the second energy efficiency graph at the same temperature.
For example, when the outdoor ambient temperature is T2, the third preset load is a load at an intersection (point a in fig. 4) of a curve of the fluorine pump system (the second energy efficiency graph) and a curve of the inverter press system (bkW) (the first energy efficiency graph) in fig. 4, that is, the third preset load is bkW. It is understood that the curve in the first energy efficiency curve chart can be countless based on different operation loads, so that at a certain ambient temperature, a variable frequency press system curve which can intersect with the fluorine pump system curve in fig. 4 can be always found, and the load value corresponding to the variable frequency press system curve is the third preset load. The ordinate values of the fluorine pump system curve and the variable frequency compressor system (bkW) curve in fig. 4 are energy efficiency ratios, and as can be seen from the content shown in fig. 4, in the case that the outdoor ambient temperature is T2, when the actual demand load of the system is less than or equal to bkW, the energy efficiency ratio of the cascade heat pump system when operating with the fluorine pump 22 is high, and when the actual demand load of the system is greater than bkW, the energy efficiency ratio of the cascade heat pump system when operating with the second compressor 21 is high, so that when the actual demand load of the system is less than or equal to the third preset load, the controller controls the operation of the fluorine pump 22; otherwise, the second compressor 21 is controlled to operate.
For another example, when the outdoor ambient temperature is T3, the third preset load is a load at an intersection (point B in fig. 4) of a curve of the fluorine pump system (the second energy efficiency graph) and a curve of the inverter press system (ckW) (the first energy efficiency graph) in fig. 4, that is, the third preset load is ckW. The ordinate values of the fluorine pump system curve and the variable frequency compressor system (ckW) curve in fig. 4 are energy efficiency ratios, and as can be seen from the content shown in fig. 4, in the case that the outdoor ambient temperature is T3, when the actual demand load of the system is less than or equal to ckW, the energy efficiency ratio of the cascade heat pump system when operating with the fluorine pump 22 is high, and when the actual demand load of the system is greater than ckW, the energy efficiency ratio of the cascade heat pump system when operating with the second compressor 21 is high, so that when the actual demand of the system is less than or equal to the third preset load, the controller controls the operation of the fluorine pump 22; otherwise, the second compressor 21 is controlled to operate.
In addition, as a preferable control manner, in step S109 and step S110, if the actual demand load of the system is less than or equal to the first preset load, the operation efficiency of the fluorine pump 22 is always higher than that of the second compressor 21, in this case, the controller directly controls the operation of the fluorine pump 22 without acquiring other parameters, so that the corresponding speed is effectively increased while the heat exchange efficiency is ensured; if the actual demand load of the system is greater than or equal to the second preset load, the operation efficiency of the second compressor 21 is always higher than that of the fluorine pump 22, in which case the controller directly controls the second compressor 21 to operate.
It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit any specific setting values of the first preset load and the second preset load, and those skilled in the art can set the setting values according to actual situations. Preferably, the second preset load is a rated load of the system, so as to ensure high operation energy efficiency of the cascade heat pump system to the maximum extent. Specifically, taking the system shown in fig. 4 as an example, the first preset load is akW, and the second preset load is dkW (rated load of the system), as can be seen from fig. 4, when the actual required load of the system is less than or equal to akW, the cascade heat pump system is operated with the highest energy efficiency regardless of the ambient temperature; when the actual demand load of the system is greater than or equal to dkW, the cascade heat pump system is most energy efficient when the second compressor 21 is operated regardless of the ambient temperature.
Based on the control logic, the invention can effectively avoid the phenomenon that the cascade heat pump system is frequently started and stopped, thereby effectively avoiding the problem that the cascade heat pump system is easy to be in an unstable operation state for a long time. The cascade heat pump system controls the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 to alternatively operate according to different loads and different outdoor environment temperatures, so that the start-up and shutdown period of the system is prolonged, the system operates on an optimal energy efficiency curve under any working condition, and the operation energy efficiency of the cascade heat pump system is effectively ensured.
So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
