It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit the specific control manner of the controller to control the operation states of the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 according to the actual demand load of the system, for example, the controller may compare the actual demand load of the system with the preset load to control the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22, or may bring the actual demand load of the system into a preset relational expression to determine whether the actual demand load of the system satisfies the preset relation, so as to control the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22; of course, this is not limitative, and a person skilled in the art can set it according to the actual situation, so long as the operation states of the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 are controlled according to the actual demand load of the system, which shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As a preferred control manner, in step S102, if the system actual demand load is greater than a first preset load and less than a second preset load, the controller further acquires the outdoor ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor; and jointly judging 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 operate alternatively based on the result of the jointly judging.
It should be noted that, the specific setting values of the first preset load and the second preset load are not limited in the present invention, and a person skilled in the art may set the specific setting values according to the model and the actual running situation of the cascade heat pump system. In addition, it should be noted that the present invention also does not limit the specific control manner of the controller to control 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 environment temperature, and the present invention can be set by those skilled in the art.
As a specific control manner, the controller can determine the third preset load according to the obtained outdoor environment temperature; of course, the present invention is not limited to the specific determination modes described above, and those skilled in the art can set the specific determination modes according to actual use requirements. For example, a one-to-one mapping relationship may be established first, and then a unique third preset load may be determined by the outdoor ambient temperature; for another example, an image model may be first built in the computer, and the unique third preset load may be determined by inputting the acquired outdoor environment temperature into the image model.
Further, as a preferable determination manner, the process of determining the third preset load according to the outdoor environment temperature specifically includes steps S103 to S104, and in the case that the fluorine pump 22 is operated and the second compressor 21 is not operated, a relationship graph of the system energy efficiency ratio and the outdoor environment temperature is established and is recorded as a first energy efficiency graph; in the case where the second compressor 21 is operated and the fluorine pump 22 is not operated, a relationship graph of the system energy efficiency ratio and the outdoor ambient temperature at different operating loads is established, and is noted 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 the accuracy of the subsequent judgment, and further improve the heat exchange efficiency to the greatest extent.
It should be noted that, the specific execution sequence of the step S103 and the step S104 is not limited in the present invention, and the step S103 and the step S104 may be executed simultaneously or sequentially without being sequenced; the specific execution time of step S103 and step S104 is not limited, and is preferably configured in the memory module of the controller directly before shipment, which is not limited, 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 of the actual system demand load and the third preset load. Based on the control mode, the actual running condition of the cascade heat pump system can be always matched with the heat exchange requirement of the cascade heat pump system, and therefore the heat exchange efficiency is effectively improved.
Specifically, in step S107, if the actual demand load of the system 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 demand load of the system 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, and at this time, the first control valve 31 is opened and the second control valve 41 is closed.
To further illustrate the control logic, consider the example shown in fig. 4: as shown in fig. 4, the third preset load is the load at the intersection 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 the load at the intersection (point a in fig. 4) of the fluorine pump system curve (the second energy efficiency curve) and the variable frequency press system (bkW) curve (the first energy efficiency curve) in fig. 4, that is, the third preset load is bkW. It will be appreciated that, based on different operating loads, the curves in the first energy efficiency graph may be innumerable, so that, at a certain ambient temperature, a variable frequency press system curve that can intersect 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 press system (bkW) curve in fig. 4 are energy efficiency ratios, and as can be seen from the description 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 is high when the fluorine pump 22 is operated, and when the actual demand load of the system is greater than bkW, the energy efficiency ratio of the cascade heat pump system is high when the second compressor 21 is operated, so that when the actual demand load of the system is less than or equal to the third preset load, the controller controls the fluorine pump 22 to operate; and conversely, the second compressor 21 is controlled to operate.
For another example, when the outdoor ambient temperature is T3, the third preset load is the load at the intersection (point B in fig. 4) of the fluorine pump system curve (the second energy efficiency curve) and the variable frequency press system (ckW) curve (the first energy efficiency curve) in fig. 4, that is, the third preset load is ckW. The ordinate values of the fluorine pump system curve and the variable frequency press system (ckW) curve in fig. 4 are energy efficiency ratios, and as can be seen from the description shown in fig. 4, in the case that the outdoor environment 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 is high when the fluorine pump 22 is operated, and when the actual demand load of the system is greater than ckW, the energy efficiency ratio of the cascade heat pump system is high when the second compressor 21 is operated, so that when the actual demand of the system is less than or equal to the third preset load, the controller controls the fluorine pump 22 to operate; and conversely, the second compressor 21 is controlled to operate.
In addition, as a preferred 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 which 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 specific setting values of the first preset load and the second preset load are not limited in the present invention, and may be set by a person skilled in the art according to the actual situation. Preferably, the second preset load is a system rated load so as to ensure high operation energy efficiency of the cascade heat pump system to the greatest extent. Specifically, taking the system shown in fig. 4 as an example, the first preset load is akW, the second preset load is dkW (the rated load of the system), as can be seen from fig. 4, when the actual demand load of the system is less than or equal to akW, the cascade heat pump system is the most energy-efficient when operated with the fluorine pump 22, regardless of the ambient temperature; and when the actual demand load of the system is larger than or equal to dkW, the cascade heat pump system has the highest energy efficiency when the second compressor 21 is operated no matter what the ambient temperature is.
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 running state for a long time. According to the cascade heat pump system, the second compressor 21 and the fluorine pump 22 are controlled to operate alternatively according to different loads and different outdoor environment temperatures, the start-stop 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.
Thus far, the technical solution of the present invention has 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 protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent modifications and substitutions for related technical features may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such modifications and substitutions will fall within the scope of the present invention.
