Hereinafter, a method of operating the air treatment system will be described.
In some embodiments of the present application, a fresh air dehumidification mode, which is mainly dehumidification of a fresh air conditioner, and a common dehumidification mode, which is used for common dehumidification of the fresh air conditioner and an air conditioner, can be realized.
< Fresh air dehumidification mode >
The fresh air humidity regulator operates in a dehumidification mode, and the fresh air blower operates according to a preset default wind speed.
Referring to fig. 6, s100 calculates a required dehumidification amount Wx of the indoor space from the indoor air humidity amount dra and the indoor set humidity amount ds, and calculates a target supply air humidity amount Dsa from the required dehumidification amount Wx of the indoor.
Wx=Go×ρ2×|dra-ds|;
Dsa=ds-Wx/(Gx·ρ1);
Ds represents the indoor set moisture content, dra represents the moisture content of the indoor air, gx represents the fresh air supply amount of the fresh air conditioner, go represents the indoor space volume, ρ1 represents the density of the outdoor air, ρ2 represents the density of the indoor air.
In the application, the indoor space required dehumidifying amount Wx is estimated according to the indoor air moisture content dra and the indoor set moisture content ds, and compared with the method that various detection devices such as a human body sensor are required to be arranged when the indoor moisture load is used for calculating the dehumidifying amount, the method can omit the detection devices and simplify the system structure.
The indoor humidity of the fresh air humidity regulator can be changed continuously in the dehumidification process, so that Wx is calculated according to the difference between dra and ds and is also changed continuously, and the aim of accurate regulation can be achieved according to the relation between the current fresh air supply moisture content and the target air supply moisture content.
S101, judging whether the relation between the fresh air supply moisture content Dsa and the target air supply moisture content Dsa meets a first preset permission condition, if so, entering S102, keeping the current running state of the fresh air conditioner, and if not, entering S103, and reducing the rotating speed of the fresh air blower.
Specifically, the first preset permission condition is that Dsa is equal to or less than Dsa-a, and a is a preset value, for example, a=1.
If Dsa is less than or equal to Dsa-1, the fresh air supply humidity is not higher than the target air supply humidity, the operation is continued according to the current state, S102 is carried out, if not, dsa is greater than Dsa-1, the fresh air supply humidity is larger, and the rotation speed of the fresh air blower is reduced, S103 is carried out.
The rotation speed of the fresh air blower is reduced, so that the fresh air supply quantity is reduced, and the supply moisture content of the fresh air can be reduced, thereby reducing the indoor humidity.
In some embodiments of the present application, the rotation speed of the fresh air blower may be reduced by a preset ratio, for example, the rotation speed of the fresh air blower is reduced by 10% each time, and then the preset time t1 passes back to S101 to re-determine, and if it is still determined that the determination is not true, the rotation speed of the fresh air blower is continuously reduced by 10%.
S104, when the rotating speed of the fresh air blower is reduced to a preset wind speed value and Dsa is not equal to or less than Dsa-1, entering a common humidity control mode of S200, the fresh air humidity control machine and the air conditioner.
For example, when the preset wind speed value is 50% of the default wind speed and the rotation speed of the fresh air blower is reduced to not higher than 50% of the default wind speed, dsa is not equal to Dsa-1, and the common dehumidification mode is switched.
The rotating speed of the fresh air blower is lower, so that the adjusting speed of the fresh air humidity regulator to the indoor humidity is slow, the comfort feeling of a user to the indoor can be influenced, and the air conditioner is added to dehumidify the fresh air blower together, so that the adjusting speed of the indoor humidity can be increased.
In the fresh air dehumidification mode, the air conditioner is in a shut-off or high sensible heat mode so as to achieve the purpose of energy conservation.
According to the embodiment of the application, the fresh air humidity regulator is used for dehumidifying, and the air conditioner is added for dehumidifying together under the condition that the humidity regulating effect of the fresh air humidity regulator is poor, so that the balance of energy saving and dehumidifying speed can be achieved. If the air treatment system directly performs the common dehumidification of the fresh air humidity regulator and the air conditioner at the beginning, although the dehumidification speed can be ensured, the energy consumption can be increased, and if the fresh air humidity regulator can achieve the dehumidification effect, and the air conditioner does not dehumidify, the energy can be saved.
< Common dehumidification Pattern >
Referring to fig. 7, an air conditioner and a fresh air conditioner are turned on, and the fresh air conditioner operates according to a preset default frequency and wind speed in S201.
S202, obtaining target compressor frequency FX2 of the air conditioner according to indoor moisture content dra and indoor set moisture content ds.
In the step, firstly, the indoor required dehumidification Wx2 is calculated according to a formula, and then the target evaporation temperature is obtained by looking up a table, so that the target compressor frequency is obtained.
Where wx2=ginxρ2×|dra-ds|, gin denotes the air volume of the indoor unit, ρ2 denotes the indoor air density.
The memory stores corresponding tables of indoor temperature, humidity, evaporating temperature and dehumidifying amount, and corresponding compressor frequencies at different evaporating temperatures, and the tables are obtained from experimental data.
Therefore, the dehumidification amount Wx2 is calculated first, and the final target compressor frequency FX can be obtained by looking up a table according to the dehumidification amount Wx 2.
S203, controlling the second compressor to operate according to the target compressor frequency FX2, and entering S204 after operating for a preset time t 2.
S204, judging whether the relation between the indoor air moisture content and the indoor set moisture content meets a second preset permission condition, if so, entering S205, turning off the air conditioner, and if not, entering S206, and controlling the second compressor to raise the frequency.
The second preset permission condition is dra-ds-a, and a is a preset value, for example, if dra-ds-1 is satisfied, it indicates that the return air humidity is close to the indoor set humidity, and the air conditioner can not dehumidify any more at this time, and if dra-ds-1 is not satisfied, it indicates that the indoor humidity is still higher than the indoor set humidity, and the air conditioner needs to dehumidify more.
In S205, after the air conditioner is turned off, every preset time t3, the process goes to S207, where it is determined whether the indoor air moisture content is not less than the sum of the indoor set moisture content and the preset allowable value, and if so, the process goes to S208, where the air conditioner is turned on.
Specifically, dra is greater than or equal to ds+a, where a is a preset value, for example, a=1, and if dra is greater than or equal to ds+1, it indicates that the indoor humidity is rising, and exceeds the indoor set humidity, and the air conditioner needs to be turned on at this time.
In a specific application scene, the indoor environment can raise the indoor humidity due to the operations of sudden increase of personnel, clothes washing by users and the like, so that whether the indoor humidity rises or not needs to be detected after the air conditioner is turned off, and the change of the indoor humidity can be responded timely.
In S206, the compressor is up-converted, after a preset time t4, the process returns to S204 to re-determine, and if the result is still not satisfied, the compressor is controlled to continue up-conversion.
< Automatic dehumidification mode >
The system firstly performs a fresh air dehumidification mode, and when the rotation speed of the fresh air blower is reduced to a preset wind speed value in the operation process of the fresh air dehumidification mode, and Dsa is less than or equal to Dsa-1 and is not established, the system automatically enters a common dehumidification mode, and the rotation speed of the fresh air blower is restored to a preset default rotation speed.
The application sets the fresh air dehumidification mode, the common dehumidification mode and the automatic dehumidification mode in the air treatment system, can adapt to various requirements of users, for example, when the indoor needs slight dehumidification (the indoor humidity is not too different from the expected humidity of the users), the fresh air dehumidification mode can be selected, when the indoor needs deep dehumidification (the indoor humidity is too different from the expected humidity of the users), the common dehumidification mode can be selected to accelerate the dehumidification speed, or the users can select automatic dehumidification, and the system automatically judges the dehumidification speed.
According to the application, the fresh air conditioner or the air conditioner is subjected to dehumidification control according to the dehumidification amount, so that the dehumidification efficiency can be improved, and the rapid dehumidification can be realized.
In the application, the fresh air dehumidification mode is carried out when the fresh air humidity regulator can bear the dehumidification amount, and compared with the common dehumidification of the fresh air humidity regulator and an air conditioner, the energy-saving purpose can be achieved.
According to the application, under the condition of relatively large dehumidification amount, the fresh air dehumidifier and the air conditioner are used for jointly dehumidifying, so that the dehumidification speed can be increased.
In the present application, the amount of dehumidification required for the indoor space is estimated based on the indoor air moisture content dra and the indoor set moisture content ds, and the present application can omit the detection device and simplify the system structure, compared to the case where various detection devices such as a human body sensor are required to be provided when the amount of dehumidification is calculated from the indoor moisture load.
In the application, the required dehumidification amount of the indoor space is estimated according to the indoor air moisture content dra and the indoor set moisture content ds, then the target air supply humidity is obtained according to the dehumidification amount, and the fresh air humidity regulator is controlled according to the relation between the current fresh air supply moisture content and the target air supply moisture content, so that the aim of accurate regulation can be achieved.
In the application, when the humidity of the fresh air supply is relatively high, the rotating speed of the fresh air blower is reduced to reduce the air supply quantity of the fresh air, so that the fresh air can be fully absorbed by the absorption component, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the moisture content of the fresh air supply.
In the application, when the rotating speed of the fresh air blower is reduced to a certain value, if the indoor humidity still does not meet the requirement, the common dehumidification mode is carried out, so that the problem of slow dehumidification speed when the fresh air humidifier is used for dehumidification only can be avoided.
According to the application, a fresh air dehumidification mode, a common dehumidification mode and an automatic dehumidification mode can be realized, and the diversified requirements of users are met.
