Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air source heat pump unit, which includes a refrigerant circulation loop 1, a water circulation loop 2, and a processor (not shown). The refrigerant circulation loop 1 comprises a compressor 4, a four-way valve 11, a first heat exchanger 5, an electronic expansion valve 12, a second heat exchanger 10 and a gas-liquid separator 13 which are sequentially connected. The inlet of the compressor 4 is provided with a pressure sensor 7, the pressure sensor 7 being arranged to detect the pressure at the inlet of the compressor 4.
The water circulation circuit 2 comprises a circulation water pump 3 and an auxiliary electric heating device 6. The circulating water pump 3 is used for starting the water circulation of the air source heat pump unit. The auxiliary electric heating means 6 is in communication with the first heat exchanger 5 for heating the water flowing into the first heat exchanger 5. The first heat exchanger 5 exchanges heat with the water circulation loop 2. The first heat exchanger 5 comprises a water inlet and a water outlet which are communicated with the water circulation loop 2. The water inlet of the first heat exchanger 5 is provided with a first temperature sensor 8, and the first temperature sensor 8 is used for detecting the water inlet temperature of the first heat exchanger 5. The water outlet of the first heat exchanger 5 is provided with a second temperature sensor 9, and the second temperature sensor 9 is used for detecting the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger 5.
In the air conditioning cooling operation or the defrosting operation, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 4 flows to the second heat exchanger 10 through the four-way valve 11 (which can be switched, and the refrigerating state is communicated at this time) to exchange heat, and the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is converted into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Then, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the electronic expansion valve 12 to be throttled and depressurized, and then enters the first heat exchanger 5, and the first heat exchanger 5 exchanges heat (absorbs heat) with water in the water circulation loop 2 to be converted into a low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant.

Then, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the electronic expansion valve 12 to be throttled and depressurized, and then enters the second heat exchanger 10, and the second heat exchanger 10 exchanges heat to be converted into a low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor 4 through the four-way valve 11, the gas-liquid separator 13 and the pressure sensor 7.
The processor can control the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the first heat exchanger, so that the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. And the frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit can be reduced, so that the air source heat pump unit can operate more stably.
In connection with the air source heat pump unit shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for freezing prevention of the air source heat pump unit, as shown in fig. 2. The method comprises the following steps:
s1001, under the condition of heating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the inlet water temperature T wi and the outlet water temperature T wo of the first heat exchanger.
S1002, the processor calculates DeltaT w=Two-Twi to obtain a temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger.
S1003, in the case of Δt w>△T Heat of the body and the duration reaching the seventh duration T C7, the processor turns off the air source heat pump unit. Wherein Δt Heat of the body is the second flow temperature difference threshold. T C7 is (0 min,5 min) alternatively T C7 is 1min, 3min or 5min.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the air source heat pump unit heats and runs, and under the condition that the heating quantity is certain, the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of water with different flow rates after flowing through the first heat exchanger is different. The smaller the water flow, the larger the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature. The water flow rate can be judged by judging the actual water inlet and outlet temperature difference and the corresponding second flow rate temperature difference threshold value. If the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger is greater than the second flow rate temperature difference threshold value for a certain time, then the water flow rate at the moment can be determined to be low. If the air source heat pump unit enters defrosting operation under the condition of low water flow, water in the first heat exchanger is easy to cool and freeze, so that the first heat exchanger is frozen. And under the condition of low water flow, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled, so that the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the short water flow is low, so that the temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is large, and the frequent shutdown caused by the short water flow is avoided by setting the duration. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. The air source heat pump unit does not need to be provided with a flowmeter independently, so that the cost is reduced.
Alternatively, deltaT Heat of the body is determined based on the operating frequency of the compressor and the outdoor ambient temperature. According to experimental verification, under the condition of heating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the first heat exchanger is related to the operation frequency of the compressor and the outdoor environment temperature. Thus, under the condition that the operating frequency of the compressor and the outdoor environment temperature are fixed, the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature after the water flows through the first heat exchanger is different. Accordingly, Δt Heat of the body can be determined by the operating frequency of the compressor and the outdoor ambient temperature. The DeltaT Heat of the body is determined through the real-time running frequency of the compressor and the outdoor environment temperature, so that the water flow judgment can be more accurate. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more accurately, and the anti-freezing effect is better.
Optionally, determining Δt Heat of the body from the operating frequency of the compressor and the outdoor ambient temperature includes: the processor acquires the current compressor operating frequency f and the outdoor ambient temperature T ao. The processor determines the operating frequency f of the current compressor and the DeltaT Heat of the body corresponding to the outdoor environment temperature T ao according to the corresponding relation between DeltaT Heat of the body and the operating frequency of the compressor and the outdoor environment temperature. Under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger of the air source heat pump unit is insufficient, the water temperature in the water circulation quickly reaches the set temperature, so that the unit is stopped and restarted after the water temperature is reduced, and the unit is frequently started and stopped. Under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger of the air source heat pump unit is too large, the water temperature in the water circulation cannot reach the set temperature for a long time, and therefore user experience is poor. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit can set a normal running water flow range according to the heating quantity. The corresponding relation between DeltaT Heat of the body and the operating frequency of the compressor and the outdoor environment temperature is that on the basis of guaranteeing the lower limit of the normal operating water flow range of the air source heat pump unit, the temperature difference DeltaT Heat of the body between the corresponding water inlet temperature and the corresponding water outlet temperature is measured according to the operating frequencies of a plurality of different compressors and the outdoor environment temperature, and then a corresponding fitting formula is obtained according to a plurality of groups of data. At T ao. Gtoreq.21℃,. DELTA.T Heat of the body =20×(f/Q1). In the case of T ao <21 ℃, Δt Heat of the body =2×(0.25×(Tao+12)+5)×(f/Q2). Wherein Q 1、Q2 is the correction value of the fitting formula. Q 1 is in the range of [40, 60], and Q 2 is in the range of [75, 85]. Optionally, Q 1 is 40, 50, or 60. Alternatively, Q 2 is 75, 80, or 85. Different series of products can have different fitting formulas due to the influence of the performance of the compressor or the structure of the products. Therefore, the formula is corrected through Q 1、Q2, and a more accurate flow temperature difference threshold value can be obtained. Therefore, the control of the air source heat pump unit can be more accurate, and the anti-freezing effect is better.
Optionally, the heating operation of the air source heat pump unit includes: and (3) under the condition that the refrigerant circulation loop heats and runs and the running time of the circulating water pump reaches the second running time T Y2. The value range of T Y2 is (0 min,3 min) alternatively, T Y2 is 1min, 2min or 3min, after the running time of the circulating water pump reaches the second running time T Y2, the water flow in the water circulation loop is judged, so that the water flow in the first heat exchanger can be effectively ensured to be stable.
Optionally, after the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit, the method further comprises: and under the condition of I < I, the air source heat pump unit is started to operate again by the processor after the third waiting time length T D3 is reserved. And under the condition that I is more than or equal to I, the processor controls the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times I 1 in the third constraint time T S3. Wherein I is the accumulated low water flow shutdown times of the air source heat pump unit, and I is the maximum shutdown times allowed in the third constraint time T S3. The range of T D3 is (0 min,10 min) optionally, T D3 is 2min, 5min, 8min or 10min T S3 is (0 h,2 h) optionally, T S3 is 0.5h, 1h or 2h I is [1,5], I is a positive integer optionally, I is 1,3 or 5. After stopping, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval to prevent the low water flow in the occasional first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit.
As shown in conjunction with fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for freezing protection of an air source heat pump unit, including:
s1101, the air source heat pump unit starts heating operation.
S1102, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo and the inlet water temperature T wi of the first heat exchanger.
S1103, the processor calculates DeltaT w=Two-Twi to obtain the temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger.
S1104, the processor determines whether Δt w>△T Heat of the body is satisfied and the duration reaches a seventh duration T C7. If yes, step S1105 is executed. Otherwise, the process returns to step S1104.
S1105, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit.
S1106, the processor determines whether I < I is satisfied. If yes, step S1107 is executed. Otherwise, step S1108 is performed.
S1107, the air source heat pump unit is started to operate again by the processor after the third waiting time length T D3.
S1108, the processor controls the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times i 1 in the third constraint time period T S3.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition of heating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the water flow in the first heat exchanger is judged by comparing the temperature difference of water entering and exiting the first heat exchanger with the flow temperature difference threshold value. If the air source heat pump unit enters defrosting operation under the condition of low water flow, water in the first heat exchanger is easy to cool and freeze, so that the first heat exchanger is frozen. And under the condition of low water flow, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled, so that the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the short water flow is low, so that the temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is large, and the frequent shutdown caused by the short water flow is avoided by setting the duration. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. Meanwhile, the air source heat pump unit does not need to be provided with a flowmeter independently, so that the cost is reduced. After stopping, in order to prevent the phenomenon of low water flow in the occasional first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more reliably.
Optionally, the processor controls the start-stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times i 1 in the third constraint time period T S3, including: and under the condition that I 1 is more than or equal to I, the processor keeps the shutdown state of the air source heat pump unit. In the case of I 1 < I, the processor again starts the air source heat pump unit to operate after the interval of the third waiting time period T D3. If the air source heat pump unit is frequently shut down within the constraint time period, a fault or other conditions may exist at present, and the shut down state needs to be kept and not restarted any more to protect the air source heat pump unit. For example, if the defrosting operation is entered under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger is low, the water in the first heat exchanger is easily cooled and frozen to cause the frost cracking of the first heat exchanger. By adopting the control mode of stopping, the frost cracking probability of the first heat exchanger can be effectively reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, the method further comprises: under the condition that the air source heat pump unit enters defrosting operation, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo of the first heat exchanger. The processor controls the operation of the auxiliary electric heating device according to the outlet water temperature T wo so as to adjust the water temperature of the first heat exchanger. Since the defrosting operation is substantially equivalent to the cooling operation, the temperature of the first heat exchanger may be lowered after the air source heat pump unit is changed from the heating operation to the defrosting operation. In the case where the temperature of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger is relatively low (below zero), then the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases if the temperature of the water in the first heat exchanger is also relatively low. Under the condition of defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the operation of the auxiliary electric heating device is controlled by judging the temperature of the discharged water, so that the water in the first heat exchanger can be ensured to keep a higher water temperature under the condition of defrosting operation. In this way, in the case of defrosting operation, the speed of water temperature decrease in the first heat exchanger is slowed down. Therefore, the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, the processor controls the operation of the auxiliary electric heating device according to the outlet water temperature T wo, including: in the case of T wo<Two2, the processor turns on the auxiliary electrical heating. In the case of T wo>Two3, the processor turns off the auxiliary electrical heating. Wherein, T wo2 is the second water outlet temperature threshold, T wo3 is the third water outlet temperature threshold, and the value range of T wo3>Two2.Two2 is [15 ℃,20 ℃). Alternatively, T wo2 is 15 ℃, 17 ℃ or 20 ℃. The range of T wo3 is (20 ℃,25 ℃) optionally, T wo3 is 21 ℃, 23 ℃ or 25 ℃, so that the water temperature in the first heat exchanger can be kept at a higher temperature, and the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced.
Optionally, before the air source heat pump unit enters the defrosting operation, the method further comprises: the processor determines whether T wo satisfies a first condition to enter defrost operation. If yes, the processor controls the air source heat pump unit to enter defrosting operation. Otherwise, the processor starts the auxiliary electric heating device, and the processor controls the air source heat pump unit to enter the defrosting operation under the condition that the outlet water temperature meets the second condition of entering the defrosting operation. Therefore, whether the air source heat pump unit enters defrosting operation is controlled by judging the water temperature, and the water temperature in the first heat exchanger can be ensured to be kept at a higher temperature under the condition of entering the defrosting operation. Therefore, the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, the first condition includes: t wo≥Two4. Wherein T wo4 is a fourth outlet water temperature threshold. T wo4 has a value of [20 ℃,45 ℃). Alternatively, T wo4 is 20 ℃, 30 ℃ or 45 ℃. Therefore, the water temperature in the first heat exchanger can be kept at a higher temperature under the condition of defrosting operation, and the frost cracking probability of the first heat exchanger is reduced. Therefore, the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon of the first heat exchanger is reduced.
Optionally, the second condition includes: t wo6≤Two≤Two5 and the duration reaches a fifth duration T C5. Or T wo>Two5 and the duration reaches a sixth duration T C6. Wherein, T wo5 is the fifth water outlet temperature threshold, T wo6 is the sixth water outlet temperature threshold, and the value range of T C5>TC6.Two5 is [20 ℃,22 ℃). Alternatively, T wo5 is 20 ℃, 21 ℃ or 22 ℃. T wo6 has a value of 15 deg.C and 22 deg.C. Alternatively, T wo6 is 15 ℃, 18 ℃ or 22 ℃. T C5 has a value of [10min,1h ]. Alternatively, T C5 is 10min, 30min, or 1h. The range of the value of T C6 is (0 s,60 s) alternatively, T C6 is 10s, 30s or 60s, thus, the water temperature in the first heat exchanger can be ensured to keep a higher temperature under the condition of defrosting operation, and the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon of the first heat exchanger.
Optionally, during defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the method further comprises: under the condition of T wo<Two7, the processor controls the air source heat pump unit to exit the defrosting operation. Wherein, T wo7 is determined according to T wo4、Two8 and T wo9, T wo7 is a seventh outlet water temperature threshold, T wo8 is an eighth outlet water temperature threshold, and T wo9 is a ninth outlet water temperature threshold. Under the condition that the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger is lower than a certain temperature, the probability of freezing water in the first heat exchanger is increased at the moment, and the air source heat pump unit is controlled to exit the defrosting operation. Therefore, the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger can be reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, determining T wo7 according to T wo4、Two8 and T wo9 includes: t wo7=max(Two4-Two8,Two9). Wherein, T wo4-Two8 is the expression mode of the descending amplitude of the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger, and T wo9 is the lower limit value of the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger. T wo8 has a value of [10 ℃,15 ℃). Alternatively, T wo8 is 10 ℃, 12 ℃ or 15 ℃. T wo9 is 5 deg.C, 10 deg.C. Alternatively, T wo9 is 5, 8, or 10 ℃. the T wo4-Two8 is mainly used for controlling the air source heat pump unit to enter the defrosting operation set condition according to the first condition and exit the defrosting operation, if the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger drops too fast due to factors such as insufficient water flow or too low-pressure saturation temperature in the defrosting operation, the frost crack risk of the first heat exchanger is larger. T wo9 mainly aims at the condition that the air source heat pump unit enters the defrosting operation according to the second condition and exits the defrosting operation, and if the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger is too low in the defrosting operation, the frost crack risk of the first heat exchanger is larger. therefore, the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced according to the water outlet temperature falling amplitude and the lower limit value of the water outlet temperature which are jointly used as the conditions for exiting defrosting operation. Therefore, the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon of the first heat exchanger is reduced. For example, in the case where T wo4 is 25 ℃, T wo8 is 12 ℃, and T wo9 is 10 ℃, at which time T wo7 =max (25 ℃ -12 ℃, 10 ℃) =13 ℃. in the case where T wo4 is 21 ℃, T wo8 is 15 ℃, and T wo9 is 8 ℃, then T wo7 = max (21 ℃ -15 ℃, 8 ℃) =8 ℃.
The operation of the compressor can be controlled according to the air inlet pressure of the compressor through the processor, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized, the complexity of the control process can be reduced, and the reliability of the scheme is improved.
In connection with the air source heat pump unit shown in fig. 1, another method for freezing protection of the air source heat pump unit is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 4. The method comprises the following steps:
S201, under the condition that the air source heat pump unit operates in a refrigerating mode, the processor detects the air inlet pressure P s of the compressor.
S202, the processor determines a low pressure saturation temperature P s-t corresponding to P s.
S203, in the case of P s-t<Ps-t1, the processor controls the operation of the compressor to adjust the water temperature of the first heat exchanger. Wherein P s-t1 is the first low pressure saturation temperature threshold. The range of P s-t1 is (-5 ℃, -3 ℃). Alternatively, P s-t1 is-4.5 ℃, -4℃or-3.5 ℃.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air inlet pressure of the compressor fluctuates according to the operation frequency of the compressor. The higher the compressor operating frequency, the lower the compressor inlet pressure and the corresponding low pressure saturation temperature. If the low pressure saturation temperature is below a certain value, the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases. The operation of the compressor is controlled through the low-pressure saturation temperature of the compressor, so that the first heat exchanger can be prevented from being in the condition of too low temperature for a long time, and the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the disclosure does not need to adjust the electronic expansion valve, reduces the complexity of the control process, and improves the reliability of the scheme.
Optionally, in the case of P s-t<Ps-t1, the processor controls operation of the compressor, including: in the case of P s-t1>Ps-t≥Ps-t2, the processor prohibits the compressor from operating at an elevated frequency. In the case of P s-t2>Ps-t≥Ps-t3, the processor reduces the operating frequency of the compressor. In the event that P s-t<Ps-t3 and the duration reaches the first duration T C1, the processor shuts down the compressor. Wherein, P s-t2 is the second low pressure saturation temperature threshold, and P s-t3 is the third low pressure saturation temperature threshold. The range of P s-t1>Ps-t2>Ps-t3.TC1 is (0 s,60 s). Alternatively, T C1 is 5s, 20s, 35s, or 50s. The setting of the duration time can avoid frequent shutdown caused by too low short low-pressure saturation temperature, so that the air source heat pump unit can operate more stably. The range of P s-t1 is (-5 ℃, -3 ℃), the range of P s-t2 is (-7 ℃, -5 ℃), and the range of P s-t3 is (-10 ℃, -6 ℃). Alternatively, P s-t1 is-4.5 ℃, P s-t2 is-6 ℃, and P s-t3 is-8 ℃. Or P s-t1 is-3.5deg.C, P s-t2 is-5deg.C, and P s-t3 is-7deg.C. Or P s-t1 is-4.5deg.C, P s-t2 is-6.5deg.C, and P s-t3 is-9deg.C. Since the higher the compressor operating frequency, the lower the compressor inlet pressure, the lower the corresponding low pressure saturation temperature. In the case where the low pressure saturation temperature is in different temperature intervals, the intake port pressure of the compressor can be controlled by prohibiting the operation frequency of the compressor from increasing or decreasing or shutting down the compressor. Therefore, the cooling speed of water in the first heat exchanger can be reduced by controlling the operation of the compressor in time, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is effectively realized, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, the method further comprises: under the condition of heating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the inlet water temperature T wi and the outlet water temperature T wo of the first heat exchanger. The processor calculates DeltaT w=Two-Twi to obtain a temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger. In the event Δt w>△T Heat of the body and the duration reaches seventh duration T C7, the processor shuts down the air-source heat pump unit. Wherein Δt Heat of the body is the second flow temperature difference threshold. The value range of T C7 is (0 min,5 min) optionally, T C7 is 1min, 3min or 5min, under the condition that the air source heat pump unit heats and operates and the heating quantity is certain, the temperature difference of the water with different flow rates after flowing through the first heat exchanger is different, the smaller the water flow rate is, the larger the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature is, the size of the water flow rate can be judged by judging the size of the actual water inlet temperature difference and the corresponding second flow rate temperature difference threshold value, if the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is larger than the second flow rate temperature difference threshold value and lasts for a certain time, the water flow rate at the moment can be determined to be low, if the air source heat pump unit enters into defrosting operation under the condition that the water flow rate is lower, the water in the first heat exchanger is easy to cool down and freeze, so that the first heat exchanger is frozen, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled under the condition of low water flow, at the same time, the short water flow rate can cause the large temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger, the method has the advantages that the method can prevent the first heat exchanger from being frosted and protected by adopting a plurality of methods, thereby greatly reducing the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger and reducing the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon.
Optionally, the method further comprises: under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo and the inlet water temperature T wi of the first heat exchanger. In the event T wi≤Twi1 and the duration reaches the second duration T C2, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit. Or, in the case that T wo≤Two1 and the duration reaches the third duration T C3, the processor turns off the air-source heat pump unit. Wherein T wi1 is a first inlet water temperature threshold, and T wo1 is a first outlet water temperature threshold. T wi1 is 3 deg.C, 5 deg.C. Alternatively, T wi1 is 3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃. T wo1 is 3 deg.C, 5 deg.C. Alternatively, T wo1 is 3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃. T C2 is within the range of [0min,2min ]. Alternatively, T C2 is 0min, 1min, or 2min. T C3 is within the range of [0min,2min ]. Alternatively, T C3 is 0min, 1min, or 2min. under the condition of the refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the temperature of the first heat exchanger can be reduced. In the case where the temperature of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger is relatively low (below zero), then the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases if the temperature of the water in the first heat exchanger is also relatively low. Under the condition that the water inlet temperature or the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is lower than a certain temperature for a period of time, the air source heat pump unit is shut down, and icing caused by the fact that the water temperature of the first heat exchanger is too low is avoided. Thereby, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the setting of the duration avoids frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit caused by short water inlet and outlet temperature. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
As shown in conjunction with fig. 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for freezing protection of an air source heat pump unit, including:
s301, the air source heat pump unit starts refrigerating operation.
S302, the processor detects the inlet pressure P s of the compressor.
S303, the processor determines a low pressure saturation temperature P s-t corresponding to P s.
S304, the processor judges whether P s-t<Ps-t1 is met. If yes, step S305 is performed. Otherwise, the process returns to step S304. Wherein P s-t1 is the first low pressure saturation temperature threshold.

S307, the processor determines whether T wi≤Twi1 is satisfied and the duration reaches the second duration T C2. If yes, go to step S309. Otherwise, step S307 is executed back.
S308, the processor determines whether T wo≤Two1 is satisfied and the duration reaches the third duration T C3. If yes, go to step S309. Otherwise, the process returns to step S308.
S309, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit.
Wherein steps S302 to S305 and steps S306 to S309 are performed synchronously, and step S307 and step S308 are performed synchronously.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the operation of the compressor is controlled by the low-pressure saturation temperature of the compressor, so that the first heat exchanger can be prevented from being in the condition of too low temperature for a long time, and the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the disclosure does not need to adjust the electronic expansion valve, reduces the complexity of the control process, and improves the reliability of the scheme. Meanwhile, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled by judging the water inlet and outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger, so that icing caused by the fact that the water temperature of the first heat exchanger is too low is avoided. Thereby, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. The setting of the duration avoids frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit caused by short water inlet and outlet temperature. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, after the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit, the method further comprises: and under the condition that N is less than N, the air source heat pump unit is started to operate again by the processor after the first waiting time is longer than T D1. And under the condition that N is more than or equal to N, the processor controls the starting and stopping of the air source heat pump unit according to the stopping times N 1 in the first constraint time T S1. Wherein N is the accumulated low-temperature shutdown times of the air source heat pump unit, and N is the maximum shutdown times allowed in the first constraint duration T S1. T D1 has a value of 8min and 15min. Alternatively, T D1 is 8min, 10min, 12min, or 15min. T S1 is in the range of [1h,2h ]. Alternatively, T S1 is 1h, 1.5h, or 2h. The value range of N is [1,5], and N is a positive integer. Alternatively, N is 1,3 or 5. After stopping, in order to prevent the phenomenon of low water temperature in the first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more reliably.
Optionally, controlling the start-stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times n 1 in the first constraint time period T S1 includes: and under the condition that N 1 is more than or equal to N, the processor keeps the shutdown state of the air source heat pump unit. In the case of N 1 < N, the processor again starts the air source heat pump unit operation after the interval first waiting period T D1. If the air source heat pump unit is frequently shut down within the constraint time period, a fault or other conditions may exist at present, and the shut down state needs to be kept and not restarted any more to protect the air source heat pump unit. For example, in a case where a heating operation is required in winter, a user erroneously operates to a cooling operation. Because the water temperature in winter is lower, if the refrigeration is operated again at this time, the water in the first heat exchanger is easy to freeze, so that the first heat exchanger is frozen and cracked. By adopting the control mode of stopping, the frost cracking probability of the first heat exchanger can be effectively reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
The processor can also control the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the water inlet temperature or the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger, so that the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. And the frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit can be reduced, so that the air source heat pump unit can operate more stably.
In connection with the air source heat pump unit shown in fig. 1, another method for freezing protection of the air source heat pump unit is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6. The method comprises the following steps:
S401, under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo and the inlet water temperature T wi of the first heat exchanger.
And S402, under the condition that the duration reaches the second duration T C2 and the duration T wi≤Twi1, the processor turns off the air source heat pump unit.
S403, if T wo≤Two1 and the duration reaches the third duration T C3, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit.
Wherein T wi1 is a first inlet water temperature threshold, and T wo1 is a first outlet water temperature threshold. T wi1 is 3 deg.C, 5 deg.C. Alternatively, T wi1 is 3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃. T wo1 is 3 deg.C, 5 deg.C. Alternatively, T wo1 is 3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃. T C2 is within the range of [0min,2min ]. Alternatively, T C2 is 0min, 1min, or 2min. T C3 is within the range of [0min,2min ]. Alternatively, T C3 is 0min, 1min, or 2min.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the temperature of the first heat exchanger is reduced. In the case where the temperature of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger is relatively low (below zero), then the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases if the temperature of the water in the first heat exchanger is also relatively low. Under the condition that the water inlet temperature or the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is lower than a certain temperature for a period of time, the air source heat pump unit is shut down, and icing caused by the fact that the water temperature of the first heat exchanger is too low is avoided. Thereby, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the setting of the duration avoids frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit caused by short water inlet and outlet temperature. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably.
As shown in conjunction with fig. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for freezing protection of an air source heat pump unit, including:
s501, the air source heat pump unit starts refrigeration operation.
S502, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo and the inlet water temperature T wi of the first heat exchanger.
S503, the processor determines whether T wi≤Twi1 is satisfied and the duration reaches the second duration T C2. If yes, step S505 is executed. Otherwise, step S503 is executed back.
S504, the processor determines whether T wo≤Two1 is satisfied and the duration reaches the third duration T C3. If yes, step S505 is executed. Otherwise, the process returns to step S504.
S505, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit.
S506, the processor judges whether N < N is satisfied. If yes, go to step S507. Otherwise, step S508 is performed.
S507, starting the air source heat pump unit to operate again by the processor after the interval of the first waiting time length T D1.
And S508, the processor controls the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times n 1 in the first constraint time period T S1.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the temperature of the first heat exchanger is reduced. In the case where the temperature of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger is relatively low (below zero), then the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases if the temperature of the water in the first heat exchanger is also relatively low. Under the condition that the water inlet temperature or the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is lower than a certain temperature for a period of time, the air source heat pump unit is shut down, and icing caused by the fact that the water temperature of the first heat exchanger is too low is avoided. Thereby, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the setting of the duration avoids frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit caused by short water inlet and outlet temperature. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. After stopping, in order to prevent the phenomenon of low water temperature in the first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more reliably.
Optionally, the method further comprises: the processor calculates DeltaT w=Twi-Two to obtain a temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger. In the event Δt w>△T Cold water and the duration reaches fourth duration T C4, the processor shuts down the air-source heat pump unit. Wherein Δt Cold water is the first flow temperature difference threshold. The value range of T C4 is (0 min,5 min) alternatively, T C4 is 1min, 3min or 5min, under the condition that the air source heat pump unit operates in a refrigerating mode and the refrigerating capacity is fixed, the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature after the water flows through the first heat exchanger is different, the smaller the water flow is, the larger the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature is, the size of the water flow can be judged by judging the size of the actual water inlet temperature difference and the corresponding first flow temperature difference threshold value, if the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is larger than the first flow temperature difference threshold value and lasts for a certain period of time, the method can determine that the water flow is low at the moment, and under the condition of low water flow, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled, thereby realizing the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger, meanwhile, the short water flow can cause large temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger, the setting duration time avoids frequent shutdown caused by short water flow, the method has the advantages that frequent shutdown is reduced, the air source heat pump unit is enabled to run more stably, meanwhile, the air source heat pump unit does not need to be provided with a flowmeter alone, and the cost is reduced.
Alternatively, deltaT Cold water is determined based on the operating frequency of the compressor. According to experimental verification, under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the first heat exchanger is related to the operation frequency of the compressor. Thus, under the condition that the operation frequency of the compressor is fixed, the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature after the water flows through the first heat exchanger is different. Thus, Δt Cold water can be determined by the operating frequency of the compressor. The water flow judgment can be more accurate by determining DeltaT Cold water through the running frequency of the compressor in real time. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more accurately, and the anti-freezing effect is better.
Optionally, determining Δt Cold water according to the operating frequency of the compressor includes: the processor obtains the current operating frequency f of the compressor. The processor determines the DeltaT Cold water corresponding to the current operating frequency f of the compressor according to the corresponding relation between DeltaT Cold water and the operating frequency f of the compressor. Under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger of the air source heat pump unit is insufficient, the water temperature in the water circulation quickly reaches the set temperature, so that the unit is stopped and restarted after the water temperature is reduced, and the unit is frequently started and stopped. Under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger of the air source heat pump unit is too large, the water temperature in the water circulation cannot reach the set temperature for a long time, and therefore user experience is poor. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit can set a normal running water flow range according to the refrigerating capacity. The corresponding relation between DeltaT Cold water and the running frequency f of the compressors is that on the basis of guaranteeing the lower limit of the normal running water flow range of the air source heat pump unit, the temperature difference DeltaT Cold water between the corresponding water inlet temperature and the corresponding water outlet temperature is measured according to the running frequencies of a plurality of different compressors, and then a corresponding fitting formula is obtained according to a plurality of groups of data. Δt Cold water =12.5×(f/Q3). Wherein Q 3 is the correction value of the fitting formula. Q 3 has a value in the range of [75, 85]. Alternatively, Q 3 is 75, 80, or 85. Different series of products can have different fitting formulas due to the influence of the performance of the compressor or the structure of the products. Therefore, the formula is corrected through Q 3, and a more accurate flow temperature difference threshold value can be obtained. Therefore, the control of the air source heat pump unit can be more accurate, and the anti-freezing effect is better.
Optionally, the air source heat pump unit refrigeration operation condition includes: and (3) under the condition that the refrigerant circulation loop is in refrigeration operation and the operation time length of the circulating water pump reaches the first operation time length T Y1. The value range of T Y1 is (0 min,3 min) alternatively, T Y1 is 1min, 2min or 3min, after the running time of the circulating water pump reaches the first running time T Y1, the water flow in the water circulation loop is judged, so that the water flow in the first heat exchanger can be effectively ensured to be stable.
Optionally, after the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit, the method further comprises: and under the condition that M < M, the air source heat pump unit is started to operate again by the processor after the interval of the second waiting time length T D2. And under the condition that M is more than or equal to M, the processor controls the starting and stopping of the air source heat pump unit according to the stopping times M 1 in the second constraint time T S2. Wherein M is the accumulated low water flow shutdown times of the air source heat pump unit, and M is the maximum shutdown times allowed in the second constraint time T S2. The range of T D2 is (0 min,10 min) optionally, T D2 is 2min, 5min, 8min or 10min T S2 is (0 h,2 h) optionally, T S2 is 0.5h, 1h or 2h.M is [1,5], and M is a positive integer optionally, M is 1,3 or 5. After stopping, in order to prevent the low water flow in the first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval, thereby enabling the air source heat pump unit to be controlled more reliably.
Optionally, the processor controls the start-stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times m 1 in the second constraint time period T S2, including: and under the condition that M 1 is more than or equal to M, the processor keeps the shutdown state of the air source heat pump unit. In the case of M 1 < M, the processor again starts the air source heat pump unit to operate after a second waiting period T D2. If the air source heat pump unit is frequently shut down within the constraint time period, a fault or other conditions may exist at present, and the shut down state needs to be kept and not restarted any more to protect the air source heat pump unit. For example, in the case that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger is always low, the water in the first heat exchanger is easy to cool and freeze, so that the first heat exchanger is frozen and cracked. By adopting the control mode of stopping, the frost cracking probability of the first heat exchanger can be effectively reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
The processor can also control the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the first heat exchanger, so that the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. And the frequent shutdown of the air source heat pump unit can be reduced, so that the air source heat pump unit can operate more stably.
In connection with the air source heat pump unit shown in fig. 1, another method for freezing protection of the air source heat pump unit is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 8. The method comprises the following steps:
S601, under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the inlet water temperature T wi and the outlet water temperature T wo of the first heat exchanger.
S602, the processor calculates DeltaT w=Twi-Two to obtain a temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger.
S603, in the case of Δt w>△T Cold water and the duration reaching the fourth duration T C4, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit. Wherein Δt Cold water is the first flow temperature difference threshold. T C4 is (0 min,5 min) alternatively T C4 is 1min, 3min or 5min.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the air source heat pump unit performs refrigeration operation, and under the condition that refrigeration capacity is certain, the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of water with different flow rates after flowing through the first heat exchanger is different. The smaller the water flow, the larger the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature. The water flow rate can be judged by judging the actual water inlet and outlet temperature difference and the corresponding first flow rate temperature difference threshold value. If the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger is greater than the first flow rate temperature difference threshold value for a certain period of time, then the water flow rate at the moment can be determined to be low. And under the condition of low water flow, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled, so that the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the short water flow is low, so that the temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is large, and the frequent shutdown caused by the short water flow is avoided by setting the duration. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. Meanwhile, the air source heat pump unit does not need to be provided with a flowmeter independently, so that the cost is reduced.
As shown in connection with fig. 9. The embodiment of the disclosure provides another method for preventing freezing of an air source heat pump unit, which comprises the following steps:
s701, the air source heat pump unit starts refrigeration operation.
S702, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo and the inlet water temperature T wi of the first heat exchanger.
S703, the processor calculates DeltaT w=Twi-Two to obtain a temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger.
S704, the processor determines whether Δt w>△T Cold water is satisfied and the duration reaches the fourth duration T C4. If yes, step S705 is executed. Otherwise, the process returns to step S704.
S705, the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit.
S706, the processor determines whether M < M is satisfied. If yes, step S707 is executed. Otherwise, step S708 is performed.
And S707, starting the air source heat pump unit to operate again by the processor after the interval of the second waiting time length T D2.
And S708, the processor controls the start and stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times m 1 in the second constraint time period T S2.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the water flow in the first heat exchanger is judged by comparing the temperature difference of water entering and exiting the first heat exchanger with the flow temperature difference threshold value, and the air source heat pump unit is shut down under the condition that the water flow is low. Thereby, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Meanwhile, the short water flow is low, so that the temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is large, and the frequent shutdown caused by the short water flow is avoided by setting the duration. Therefore, frequent shutdown is reduced, and the air source heat pump unit operates more stably. After stopping, in order to prevent the phenomenon of low water flow in the occasional first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more reliably.
Optionally, the method further comprises: under the condition of refrigerating operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the air inlet pressure P s of the compressor. The processor determines a low pressure saturation temperature P s-t corresponding to P s. In the case of P s-t<Ps-t1, the processor controls the operation of the compressor to adjust the water temperature of the first heat exchanger. Wherein P s-t1 is the first low pressure saturation temperature threshold. The range of P s-t1 is (-5 ℃, -3 ℃). Alternatively, P s-t1 is-4.5 ℃, -4℃or-3.5 ℃. Under the refrigerating operation condition of the air source heat pump unit, the air inlet pressure of the compressor can fluctuate according to the operation frequency of the compressor. The higher the compressor operating frequency, the lower the compressor inlet pressure and the corresponding low pressure saturation temperature. If the low pressure saturation temperature is below a certain value, the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases. The operation of the compressor is controlled through the low-pressure saturation temperature of the compressor, so that the first heat exchanger can be prevented from being in the condition of too low temperature for a long time, and the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the disclosure does not need to adjust the electronic expansion valve, reduces the complexity of the control process, and improves the reliability of the scheme. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
The operation of the auxiliary electric heating device of the air source heat pump unit can be controlled according to the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger through the processor, the frost cracking probability of the first heat exchanger is reduced, and the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
In connection with the air source heat pump unit shown in fig. 1, another method for freezing protection of the air source heat pump unit is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 10. The method comprises the following steps:
s801, under the condition that the air source heat pump unit enters defrosting operation, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo of the first heat exchanger.
S802, the processor controls the operation of the auxiliary electric heating device according to the outlet water temperature T wo so as to adjust the water temperature of the first heat exchanger.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the defrosting operation is substantially equal to the cooling operation, the temperature of the first heat exchanger may be reduced after the air source heat pump unit is changed from the heating operation to the defrosting operation. In the case where the temperature of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger is relatively low (below zero), then the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases if the temperature of the water in the first heat exchanger is also relatively low. Under the condition of defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the operation of the auxiliary electric heating device is controlled by judging the temperature of the discharged water, so that the water in the first heat exchanger can be ensured to keep a higher water temperature under the condition of defrosting operation. In this way, in the case of defrosting operation, the speed of water temperature decrease in the first heat exchanger is slowed down. Therefore, the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
As shown in conjunction with fig. 11, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for freezing protection of an air source heat pump unit, including:
s901, an air source heat pump unit receives a defrosting operation instruction.
S902, the processor detects the outlet water temperature T wo of the first heat exchanger.
S903, the processor determines whether a first condition for entering the defrosting operation is satisfied. If yes, go to step S906. Otherwise, step S904 is performed.
S904, the processor turns on the auxiliary electric heating device.
S905, the processor determines whether a second condition for entering the defrosting operation is satisfied. If yes, go to step S906. Otherwise, step S905 is executed back.
S906, the processor controls the air source heat pump unit to enter defrosting operation.
S907, the processor determines whether T wo<Two2 is satisfied. If yes, step S909 is executed. Otherwise, step S908 is performed.
S908, the processor determines whether T wo>Two3 is satisfied. If yes, go to step S910. Otherwise, step S907 is executed back.
S909, the processor turns on the auxiliary electric heating means. The process returns to step S908.
S910, the processor turns off the auxiliary electric heating. The process returns to step S907.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, whether the air source heat pump unit enters the defrosting operation is controlled by judging the water temperature, so that the water temperature in the first heat exchanger can be ensured to be kept at a higher temperature under the condition of entering the defrosting operation. Therefore, the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced. After defrosting operation, the auxiliary electric heating device is controlled according to the water outlet temperature, so that the water temperature in the first heat exchanger can be kept at a higher temperature, and meanwhile, the auxiliary electric heating device is turned off under the condition that the water outlet temperature is higher than a certain value, so that energy consumption can be saved.
Optionally, the method further comprises: under the condition of defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the air inlet pressure P s of the compressor. The processor determines a low pressure saturation temperature P s-t corresponding to P s. In the case of P s-t<Ps-t1, the processor controls the operation of the compressor to adjust the water temperature of the first heat exchanger. Wherein P s-t1 is the first low pressure saturation temperature threshold. The range of P s-t1 is (-5 ℃, -3 ℃). Alternatively, P s-t1 is-4.5 ℃, -4℃or-3.5 ℃. Under the condition of defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air inlet pressure of the compressor can fluctuate according to the operation frequency of the compressor. The higher the compressor operating frequency, the lower the compressor inlet pressure and the corresponding low pressure saturation temperature. If the low pressure saturation temperature is below a certain value, the probability of freezing of the water in the first heat exchanger increases. The operation of the compressor is controlled through the low-pressure saturation temperature of the compressor, so that the first heat exchanger can be prevented from being in the condition of too low temperature for a long time, and the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is realized. The first heat exchanger is subjected to anti-freezing protection by adopting a plurality of methods, so that the probability of frost cracking of the first heat exchanger is greatly reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, in the case of P s-t<Ps-t1, the processor controls operation of the compressor, including: in the case of P s-t1>Ps-t≥Ps-t2, the processor prohibits the compressor from operating at an elevated frequency. In the case of P s-t2>Ps-t≥Ps-t3, the processor reduces the operating frequency of the compressor. In the event that P s-t<Ps-t3 and the duration reaches the first duration T C1, the processor shuts down the compressor. Wherein, P s-t2 is the second low pressure saturation temperature threshold, and P s-t3 is the third low pressure saturation temperature threshold. The range of P s-t1>Ps-t2>Ps-t3.TC1 is (0 s,60 s). Alternatively, T C1 is 5s, 20s, 35s, or 50s. The setting of the duration time can avoid frequent shutdown caused by too low short low-pressure saturation temperature, so that the air source heat pump unit can operate more stably. The range of P s-t1 is (-5 ℃, -3 ℃), the range of P s-t2 is (-7 ℃, -5 ℃), and the range of P s-t3 is (-10 ℃, -6 ℃). Alternatively, P s-t1 is-4.5 ℃, P s-t2 is-6 ℃, and P s-t3 is-8 ℃. Or P s-t1 is-3.5deg.C, P s-t2 is-5deg.C, and P s-t3 is-7deg.C. Or P s-t1 is-4.5deg.C, P s-t2 is-6.5deg.C, and P s-t3 is-9deg.C. Since the higher the compressor operating frequency, the lower the compressor inlet pressure, the lower the corresponding low pressure saturation temperature. In the case where the low pressure saturation temperature is in different temperature intervals, the intake port pressure of the compressor can be controlled by prohibiting the operation frequency of the compressor from increasing or decreasing or shutting down the compressor. Therefore, the cooling speed of water in the first heat exchanger can be reduced by controlling the operation of the compressor in time, the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger is effectively realized, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.
Optionally, the method further comprises: under the condition of defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the processor detects the water inlet temperature T wi of the first heat exchanger. The processor calculates DeltaT w=Twi-Two to obtain a temperature difference DeltaT w between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the first heat exchanger. In the event Δt w>△T Cold water and the duration reaches fourth duration T C4, the processor shuts down the air-source heat pump unit. Wherein Δt Cold water is the first flow temperature difference threshold. The value range of T C4 is (0 min,5 min) alternatively, T C4 is 1min, 3min or 5min, under the condition that the air source heat pump unit operates in a refrigerating mode and the refrigerating capacity is fixed, the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature after the water flows through the first heat exchanger is different, the smaller the water flow is, the larger the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature is, the size of the water flow can be judged by judging the size of the actual water inlet temperature difference and the corresponding first flow temperature difference threshold value, if the temperature difference of the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger is larger than the first flow temperature difference threshold value and lasts for a certain period of time, the method can determine that the water flow is low at the moment, and under the condition of low water flow, the air source heat pump unit is shut down and controlled, thereby realizing the anti-freezing protection of the first heat exchanger, meanwhile, the short water flow can cause large temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger, the setting duration time avoids frequent shutdown caused by short water flow, the method has the advantages that frequent shutdown is reduced, the air source heat pump unit is enabled to run more stably, meanwhile, the air source heat pump unit does not need to be provided with a flowmeter alone, and the cost is reduced.
Alternatively, deltaT Cold water is determined based on the operating frequency of the compressor. According to experimental verification, under the condition of defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit, the water inlet and outlet temperature difference of the first heat exchanger is related to the operation frequency of the compressor. Thus, under the condition that the operation frequency of the compressor is fixed, the temperature difference between the inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature after the water flows through the first heat exchanger is different. Thus, Δt Cold water can be determined by the operating frequency of the compressor. The water flow judgment can be more accurate by determining DeltaT Cold water through the running frequency of the compressor in real time. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit is controlled more accurately, and the anti-freezing effect is better.
Optionally, determining Δt Cold water according to the operating frequency of the compressor includes: the processor obtains the current operating frequency f of the compressor. The processor determines the DeltaT Cold water corresponding to the current operating frequency f of the compressor according to the corresponding relation between DeltaT Cold water and the operating frequency f of the compressor. Under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger of the air source heat pump unit is insufficient, the water temperature in the water circulation quickly reaches the set temperature, so that the unit is stopped and restarted after the water temperature is reduced, and the unit is frequently started and stopped. Under the condition that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger of the air source heat pump unit is too large, the water temperature in the water circulation cannot reach the set temperature for a long time, and therefore user experience is poor. Therefore, the air source heat pump unit can set a normal running water flow range according to the refrigerating capacity. The corresponding relation between DeltaT Cold water and the running frequency f of the compressors is that on the basis of guaranteeing the lower limit of the normal running water flow range of the air source heat pump unit, the temperature difference DeltaT Cold water between the corresponding water inlet temperature and the corresponding water outlet temperature is measured according to the running frequencies of a plurality of different compressors, and then a corresponding fitting formula is obtained according to a plurality of groups of data. Δt Cold water =12.5×(f/Q3). Wherein Q 3 is the correction value of the fitting formula. Q 3 has a value in the range of [75, 85]. Alternatively, Q 3 is 75, 80, or 85. Different series of products can have different fitting formulas due to the influence of the performance of the compressor or the structure of the products. Therefore, the formula is corrected through Q 3, and a more accurate flow temperature difference threshold value can be obtained. Therefore, the control of the air source heat pump unit can be more accurate, and the anti-freezing effect is better.
Optionally, the defrosting operation of the air source heat pump unit includes: and (3) under the condition that the refrigerant circulation loop is in refrigeration operation and the operation time length of the circulating water pump reaches the first operation time length T Y1. The value range of T Y1 is (0 min,3 min) alternatively, T Y1 is 1min, 2min or 3min, after the running time of the circulating water pump reaches the first running time T Y1, the water flow in the water circulation loop is judged, so that the water flow in the first heat exchanger can be effectively ensured to be stable.
Optionally, after the processor shuts down the air source heat pump unit, the method further comprises: and under the condition that M < M, the air source heat pump unit is started to operate again by the processor after the interval of the second waiting time length T D2. And under the condition that M is more than or equal to M, the processor controls the starting and stopping of the air source heat pump unit according to the stopping times M 1 in the second constraint time T S2. Wherein M is the accumulated low water flow shutdown times of the air source heat pump unit, and M is the maximum shutdown times allowed in the second constraint time T S2. The range of T D2 is (0 min,10 min) optionally, T D2 is 2min, 5min, 8min or 10min T S2 is (0 h,2 h) optionally, T S2 is 0.5h, 1h or 2h.M is [1,5], and M is a positive integer optionally, M is 1,3 or 5. After stopping, in order to prevent the low water flow in the first heat exchanger from affecting the normal operation of the air source heat pump unit, the air source heat pump unit is automatically restarted after a certain time interval, thereby enabling the air source heat pump unit to be controlled more reliably.
Optionally, the processor controls the start-stop of the air source heat pump unit according to the stop times m 1 in the second constraint time period T S2, including: and under the condition that M 1 is more than or equal to M, the processor keeps the shutdown state of the air source heat pump unit. In the case of M 1 < M, the processor again starts the air source heat pump unit to operate after a second waiting period T D2. If the air source heat pump unit is frequently shut down within the constraint time period, a fault or other conditions may exist at present, and the shut down state needs to be kept and not restarted any more to protect the air source heat pump unit. For example, in the case that the water flow rate in the first heat exchanger is always low, the water in the first heat exchanger is easy to cool and freeze, so that the first heat exchanger is frozen and cracked. By adopting the control mode of stopping, the frost cracking probability of the first heat exchanger can be effectively reduced, and the occurrence of the frost cracking phenomenon is reduced.

S1208, judging whether T wo>Two3 is satisfied. If yes, go to step S1210. Otherwise, the process returns to step S1207.T wo3 was 23 ℃. At this time, T wo is 24 ℃, step S1210 is performed.
S1209, the auxiliary electric heating device is turned on. The process returns to step S1208.
S1210, turning off the auxiliary electric heating device. The process returns to step S1207.
S1211, after the air source heat pump unit enters defrosting operation, whether T wo<max(Two4-Two8,Two9 is met or not is judged. If yes, go to step S1212. Otherwise, step S1211 is executed back. Let T wo4 be 25 ℃, T wo8 be 12 ℃, and T wo9 be 10 ℃. Then T wo7 = max (25 ℃ -12 ℃,10 ℃) = 13 ℃. Assuming that T wo is 12 ℃, step S1212 is performed.

S1215, it is determined whether Δt w>△T Cold water is satisfied and the duration reaches the fourth duration T C4. If yes, go to step S1216. Otherwise, step S1215 is executed back. Let it be assumed that at this time, Δt Cold water calculated in the compressor operation state is 2 ℃, and T C4 is 1min. The Δt w >2 ℃ and the duration reaches 1min, then step S1216 is performed.
S1216, the air source heat pump unit is turned off.
Among them, steps S1207 to S1210, steps S1211 to S1212, and steps S1213 to S1216 are synchronously performed.
