Cooling water system and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a cooling water balance regulating and controlling technology, in particular to a variable flow cooling water system water balance regulating and controlling technology.
Background
The common central air conditioning system comprises a plurality of refrigerating units, a plurality of circulating water pumps and a plurality of cooling towers, wherein the refrigerating units provide chilled water for supplying fan coil heat exchange, the circulating water pumps drive cooling water to circulate between the refrigerating units and the cooling towers, the cooling water exchanges heat with air in the cooling towers, and the cooled cooling water is sent into the refrigerating units for cooling through the circulating water pumps. The main purpose of setting up the cooling water system in the central air conditioning system is to carry out the heat exchange with the atmosphere with the heat of condenser, obtains the low temperature water and supplies central air conditioning unit to operate and use. The cooling water temperature has a larger influence on the energy consumption of the central air conditioning system, and according to the data provided by main flow air conditioning manufacturers, the energy consumption of the main machine is reduced by 3-5% when the cooling water temperature is increased by 1 ℃ and the energy consumption of the main machine is reduced by 3-5% when the cooling water temperature is reduced by 1 ℃. Therefore, the heat exchange capacity of the cooling tower in the cooling water system is improved, and the energy saving effect on the whole system is great.
The common ways of composing the cooling water system in the central air conditioning system include the following forms:
1. A plurality of circulating water pipelines are established by directly adopting a single refrigerating unit and a single circulating water pump corresponding to a single cooling tower. The mode can respectively adjust the water quantity of a single circulating water pipeline, and can also be additionally provided with a cooling tower variable frequency control. However, in this way, when a certain device fails, the interchangeability is poor, the large heat dissipation area of the cooling tower group cannot be utilized to perform heat exchange, and the high-efficiency energy-saving mode with small water volume and large temperature difference cannot be realized, so that the energy saving of the whole air conditioning system is not facilitated. In addition, although the cooling tower can adopt variable frequency control, for a circulating water pipeline, only a single cooling tower can be respectively adjusted, so that the control range of low rotating speed in variable frequency is small, the noise is large, and the energy-saving effect of multiple low-frequency operation cannot be realized.
2. The cooling water system is arranged in a same-path water supply mode, namely the distances from the circulating water pump to the water supply ports of the cooling towers are basically the same, the water supply pressure is the same, and the cooling water supply pipeline is required to be changed from the original two-pipe design to the three-pipe design. The reason for adopting the mode is that different cooling towers connected to the pipeline have sequence, so that front and rear water resistances are different, the actual water inflow is greatly influenced, the water flow of the cooling tower close to the water pump end is large, an overcurrent condition occurs, overflow is generated when the cooling water of the water sowing disc is excessive, the cooling water directly enters the circulation without cooling and heat dissipation, and the cooling tower far away from the water pump end has an undercurrent phenomenon, and the heat dissipation efficiency is influenced. The same-pass water supply mode is adopted, so that the same water supply pressure of different cooling towers can be effectively realized, and the situation of overcurrent or undercurrent is avoided. However, since a pipe is added, the following disadvantages are caused: because central air conditioning unit and circulating water pump set up in the basement more, and the cooling tower sets up in the circulation of air outdoor more, the pipeline distance is farther, increases the pipeline and can necessarily lead to equipment investment cost and construction cost to increase by a wide margin, and add the pipeline and increase valve equipment simultaneously, the resistance of cooling water system also increases correspondingly, and circulating water pump also needs to increase the lift, and long-term operation energy consumption also increases correspondingly.
Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the cooling system and obtain the maximum energy-saving effect, the cooling water circulation circuit needs to be subjected to necessary flow control.
Aiming at the problems, when the constant-flow central air-conditioning cooling system is debugged, the valve of the cooling water system is manually adjusted by depending on the experience of an old master, so that the relative hydraulic distribution is uniform. However, the debugging is based on the condition that all water pumps are fully started and under the condition of full load, most of the time is the condition of low flow when the system actually operates, the circulating water flow is changed at any time due to the coincidence of a central air conditioner unit, and the initial debugging has no too much effect and effect in the daily application of the system.

In order to verify the beneficial effects of the invention, the following is explained by the actual project modification results:
In the International well-known hotel project in Guangzhou city, four cross-flow cooling towers of 250m 3/h are adopted, so that the hotel project with common scale is realized. When the system is initially debugged, the balance debugging of the cooling water system is carried out according to the flow of 100%, the opening of a water inlet valve of each cooling tower is adjusted, the water storage height of a water sowing disc of each cooling tower is 52-56mm, the water quantity of each cooling tower is basically balanced, and the water distribution of the cooling water is uniform.
Before transformation: the air conditioner is in a conventional energy-saving operation mode, the air conditioner host is only started for 2, at the moment, the cooling water pump carries out variable frequency adjustment according to the water inlet and outlet temperature difference of cooling water, when the cooling water pump carries out variable frequency operation for 2, the frequency is 40-42Hz, the total flow of the cooling water is 426m 3/h, 4 cooling towers are started, the large heat dissipation area of the cooling towers is utilized for heat exchange, the heights of water sowing trays of the 4 cooling towers are 46mm, 22mm, 18mm and 36mm respectively at the outdoor wet bulb temperature of 26.3 ℃ and the water inlet temperature of 32.1 ℃, and the water outlet temperatures of the cooling towers are 28.1 ℃, 28.5 ℃ and 28.2 respectively.
After transformation: the method is adopted to carry out water balance reconstruction on the water system, 2 air conditioner hosts are started, when the cooling water pump operates 2 air conditioner hosts in a variable frequency mode, the frequency is 45Hz, the total flow of cooling water is 452m 3/h, 4 cooling towers operate, when the outdoor wet bulb temperature is 26.2 ℃ and the water inlet temperature is 32 ℃, the heights of water sowing discs of the 4 cooling towers are 34mm, 27mm, 26mm and 33mm respectively, the water outlet temperature of the cooling towers is very stable, and the water supply balance of the cooling towers is basically realized.
It can be seen by comparing the two sets of data before and after modification: when the cooling water before transformation runs at variable flow, water supply balance is not realized, heat exchange is insufficient, the average water temperature is 28.3 ℃, after transformation, the system realizes water balance, heat exchange is uniform, the average water temperature is 27.6 ℃, the average water temperature is reduced by 0.7 ℃ with the average water temperature before transformation, and the overall energy consumption of the air conditioning unit before transformation is higher than that of the air conditioning unit after transformation by more than 2 percent through statistical calculation.
