frequency conversion 1. Introduction The central air-conditioning system has widely
applied to the industry and the civil domain, in the guesthouse, the
hotel, the office, the market, the in-patient department building, the
industry workshop central air-conditioning system, its refrigeration
compression unit, the freezing circulating water system, the cooling
circulating water system, the cooling tower air blower system and so
on the capacity mostly is defers to the building biggest
refrigeration, the system hot load designation, also again remains has
the sufficient remainder. In does not have the use to have in
the load 随动 adjustment characteristic control system, regardless
of the season, how the day and night and the user load does change,
various electrical machinery all for a long time fix under the labor
frequency condition the full speed movement, has created the energy
huge waste. In recent years as a result of the electrovalence
unceasing rise, caused the central air-conditioning system operating
cost suddenly to rise, causes it to occupy the more and more great
proportion in the entire building transport business cost expense,
adds present each production, service industry competition intensely,
the most enterprises profit space insufficiently is ideal.
Therefore the electrical energy expense control obviously
already became manages the superintendent matter of concern to be at.
Statistics have indicated, the central air conditioning occupies
each kind of building with the electric quantity always to use the
electric quantity above 70%, central air conditioning water pump power
consumption approximately composes the total air-conditioning system
power consumption 20~40%, when saves the low load the compressor
system and the aqueous system consumption energy, has the very vital
significance. Therefore, but the automatic control change
variable current quantity frequency conversion air conditioning
aqueous system and the auto-adapted intelligent load adjustment
compressor system arises at the historic moment along with the load
change, and gradually demonstrates its huge superiority, moreover
obtains more and more many is widely promoted and the application.
Uses the frequency conversion velocity modulation technology not
only to be able to enable the air-conditioning system to display the
more ideal active status, more importantly the usual its energy
conservation effect reaches as high as above 30%, the energy band
comes the good economic efficiency. 2. Central air-conditioning system general structure
and principle of work The central air-conditioning system generally
mainly by the refrigeration compressor system, the cold intermediary
(freezing and cold is hot) the circulating water system, the cooling
circulating water system, the plate tube air blower system, the
cooling tower air blower system and so on is composed. Its craft
structure flow chart like attempts A to show, in attempts in A to
refrigerate the compression unit through the compressor the
refrigerant (cold intermediary medium like R134a, R22 and so on)
compresses the fluid queen mother to deliver in the evaporator, the
freezing circulation aqueous system through freezes the water pump to
enter the normal temperature water pump in the evaporator plate tube
to carry on with the cold intermediary the indirect heat exchange,
such original often the lukewarm water turned the low temperature
freezing water, the freezing water has been delivered various air
blowers gusty area in the cooling coil to attract around the closing
tube the air quantity of heat, produced the low temperature air wafted
each room from the plate tube air blower, thus achieved the
temperature decrease the goal. Leng Mei fully reduces after the
evaporator and follows the thermal absorption process to complete,
again is delivered in the condenser to restore the atmospheric
pressure condition, in order to Leng Mei releases the quantity of heat
in the condenser, its release quantity of heat is precisely carries
off through the recirculated cooling water system cooling water.
The cooling circulating water system often the lukewarm water
will pump into the condenser heat change plate tube after the cooling
water pump, again has changed this the hot cooling water to deliver in
the cooling tower, will carry on the natural cooling or by the cooling
tower to it carries on through the cooling tower air blower to it
sprays the type force forced-air cooling, will carry on the full heat
change with the atmosphere between, will cause the cooling water to
change the normal temperature, in order to again will circulate the
use. Needs to make the heat when the winter, the central
air-conditioning system only needs (to be called through the cold hot
water pump in summer freezes water pump) to enter the normal
temperature water pump the steam heat interchanger the plate tube,
through delivers again after the steam full heat change the hot water
various floors in the air blower plate tube, then realizes to the user
provides the heating hot blast. Understood the central air-conditioning system technical process
is very important regarding the energy conservation transformation
realization, looked from the causal relation angle, the freezing
aqueous system, the cooling water system, the cooling tower air blower
system is the host compressor system servosystem. When the host
compressor system load changes, to freezes the water, the cooling
water demand quantity and the cooling tower demand cooling amount of
wind also has the corresponding change, because of so, we only then is
having the energy conservation transformation the prerequisite
condition, only then has the realization "the distribution according
to need" the control plan possibility. 3. Central air-conditioning system energy
conservation principle The central air-conditioning system may divide
into two big kinds according to the load type, (1) changes the torque
loading: If air blower, water pump class load and so on cooling
water system, freezing aqueous system, cooling tower air blower
system; (2) Permanent torque loading: If host
refrigeration compressor system. The different torque type has
the completely different torque power relations characteristic, we
knew the air blower, the water pump class change the torque loading
characteristic to satisfy the hydrodynamics relations theory, namely
following mathematical relation establishment: N1/N2 ?Q1/Q2 H1/H2 ?(N1/N2) 2 P1/P2 ?(N1/N2) 3 (1) Among them, N, H, Q, P separately expressed the
rotational speed, the current capacity, lift, the shaft power. May know by type 1, if rpm drop to rated speed 70%, then, will
lift drops to the rated value 50%, simultaneously, the axis output
will drop to the rated value 35%. May see from chart 2, the pipe
network damping along with lifts reduces reduces. In satisfies
the system basically to lift the demand under the situation, if the
system current capacity demand reduces to time fixed current capacity
50%, under frequency conversion control mode, its correspondence
output only approximately for rated power 13%. This has
provided mathematics theoretically feasibility safeguard space for the
implementation frequency conversion energy conservation technological
transformations. By the above fluid transmission facility water pump, the
air blower principle of work may know: The water pump, the air
blower current capacity (amount of wind) if transfers the intensive
direct ratio; The water pump, the air blower pressure (lifts) if
the rotational speed square to have the direct ratio, but the water
pump, the air blower shaft power is equal to the current capacity and
the pressure product, therefore the water pump, the air blower shaft
power if the rotational speed cubic (cubicly has the direct ratio
namely to have direct ratio with supply frequency) to act according to
the above principle to be possible to know: Changes the water
pump, the air blower rotational speed may change the water pump, the
air blower power. For example: Will supply power the
frequency to reduce to 45Hz by 50Hz, then P45/P50=453/503=0.729,
namely P45=0.729P50 (P will be electrical machinery shaft power);
Will supply power the frequency to reduce to 40Hz by 50Hz, then
P40/P50=403/503=0.512, namely P40=0.512P50 (P will be electrical
machinery shaft power). May see by the above content, carries on with the frequency
changer when the current capacity (amount of wind) controls, may save
the massive electrical energies. Central air-conditioning system
when design is, its cooling which considered according to the scene
most greatly cold quantity demand quantity pumps, the freezing pumps,
in the actual use which considered according to the single equipment
biggest operating mode has 90% much time, cooling pumps, the freezing
pumps all works under the non- full-load conditions. But with
the valve, the self acting valve adjustment not only increased the
system to reduce expenses to lose, moreover because to the air
conditioning adjustment was gradual, created the entire
air-conditioning system work in the undulation condition; But
through pumps, the freezing in cooling pumps installs the frequency
changer to be possible to solve this problem once and for all, but
also may realize the automatic control, and the passable frequency
conversion energy conservation has recouped the outlay of capital.
Simultaneously the frequency changer soft start function and the
smooth velocity modulation characteristic may realize to the system
steady adjustment, causes the system active status to be stable, and
lengthens the unit and the network management service life. 4. Under we mainly discuss the implementation plan
and the application effect which the cooling tower air blower use
frequency conversion conserves energy 4.1 cooling towers air blowers frequency
conversion control implementation plan Plan one: Fixed frequency conversion control
mode. Because of cooling tower pattern: Has the single
tower pattern, and the multi- towers pattern; Therefore, fixed
frequency conversion control mode: May divide into the single
fixed frequency conversion control and many fixed frequency conversion
control. Under take many fixed frequency conversion control as
the example, makes the following explanation. This system is composed by the frequency conversion return route
and the labor frequency return route two parts: Frequency conversion return route: By a frequency
changer, air switch QF2, exchanges contact device KM02 and the
frequency conversion operating control return route and the signal
reports to the police the return route to be composed the frequency
conversion shuttle service return route. Labor frequency return
route: By air switch QF1, QF3, QF4, QF5, exchange contact device
KM01, KM03, KM04, KM05, and thermal relay FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, as well
as constitution labor frequency and so on manual operating control
return route (50Hz) moves the return route. Movement way: When labor frequency movement: The air blower
assigns the air blower according to the labor frequency control loop
choice to start, and by 50HZ full speed movement. When frequency conversion movement: The air blower
by the sensor measured the actual water temperature, passes through
the warm controlling transformation standard electric current signal
or the voltage signal, delivers the frequency changer to trace draws
up the input end, when the first frequency conversion electrical
machinery achieves the full load movement, but also cannot satisfy the
actual operating mode then second Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission
machine can start by the labor frequency, first Taiwan Telegraphic
Transmission machine still frequency conversion movement; Same
principle, after if second Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission machine
starting, but also cannot satisfy the operating mode then third Taiwan
Telegraphic Transmission machine can by the labor frequency starting;
This time, three Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission machine all
moves: First Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission machine frequency
conversion movement, second Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission mechanic
frequency movement, third Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission mechanic
frequency movement. Plan two: Circulation frequency conversion control
mode. May know by P ?n3: The air blower conserves
energy the preferred plan controls the air blower rotational speed,
the passable change electrical machinery control system has adjusted
the electrical machinery movement the rotational speed, thus achieved
the control air blower rotational speed the goal, under take three
same powers electrical machinery cooling tower as an example, makes
the following explanation: Three typhoons machine for identical
power the electrical machinery, may use a frequency changer cyclic
control the way movement, the system electricity principle survey
chart, as follows shows: This control system is composed by the frequency conversion
return route and the labor frequency return route two parts: Frequency conversion return route: By a frequency
changer, air switch Q1, exchanges contact device KM1, KM3, KM5 and the
automatic operating control return route and the signal reports to the
police the return route to be composed the frequency conversion
shuttle service return route. Labor frequency return route:
Air switch QF2, QF3, QF4, exchange contact device KM2, KM4, KM6
and thermal relay FR1, FR2, FR3 as well as constitution labor
frequency and so on manual operating control return route (5 this
control system is composed by the frequency conversion return route
and the labor frequency return route two parts: Frequency conversion return route: By a frequency
changer, air switch QF3, exchanges contact device KM4, KM5, KM6 and
the automatic operating control return route and the signal reports to
the police the return route to be composed the frequency conversion
shuttle service return route. Labor frequency return route:
Air switch QF0, QF1, QF2, exchange contact device KM1, KM2, KM3
and thermal relay FR1, FR2, FR3 as well as constitution labor
frequency and so on manual operating control return route (50Hz) moves
the return route. Movement way: The normal state, the change-over switch cuts to the
automatic movement return route, determines the cooling tower water
leakage temperature by the temperature sensor, passes through the warm
controlling transformation standard electric current signal or the
voltage signal, delivers the frequency changer to trace draws up the
input end to control the frequency changer the rotational speed,
changes the air blower the amount of wind, thus changes the cooling
tower the water leakage temperature; When a typhoon machine
movement still could not answer the purpose, changed this frequency
conversion movement air blower the labor frequency movement, again the
frequency conversion started another typhoon machine, until satisfied
the circulating water temperature which the production installment
needed to achieve the technological requirement (namely water
temperature <= 32°C). The entire control system is a closed
loop governing system. According to the equipment technological
requirement, automatically determined the air blower is the frequency
conversion movement fortunately labor frequency movement. And
achieves the air blower which first moves first to excise, various
electrical machinery shuttle service, thus lengthens the useful life
of equipment the goal. When the frequency conversion systems
control return route or the frequency changer crash, the change-over
switch will cut the manual condition, three Taiwan Telegraphic
Transmission machine movement still might satisfy the installment
technological requirement in the labor frequency condition. 4.2 take circulates the frequency conversion control mode
to explain the circulating water cooling tower frequency conversion
energy conservation as the example the effect: 4.2.1 circulating waters cooling towers movement survey Some company altogether has 3 serial numbers for
the water works respectively is 1#, 2# and the 3# circulating water
cooling tower. Each production installment returns the
circulation hot water with the pump delivery to these towers in,
through the tower in padding increase hot water and the air contacted
area and the time, the promotion hot water and the air carries on the
heat change, causes circulating water cooling. Thus obtains each
production installment to need the circulating water temperature <= 32
?cold water. When the ambient temperature elevates, starts in the
cooling tower the axis customs handed down from past generation
machine implementation forced draft, speeds up on the cooling tower
padding to circulate the moisture to deal with the liquid phase the
heat change. In each cooling tower installs 1 axis customs
handed down from past generation machine, its diameter is 8500mm, by
the voltage is 380V, the rated power is the 160kW 4 extremely
asynchronous machines actuates. Between the electrical machinery
gentle breeze machine uses the constant 减?speed reducer
straight association, in the tower does not install the throttle
valve. Therefore the axis customs handed down from past
generation machine rotational speed and the amount of wind are cannot
move. 3 towers total handling abilities reach 8000m3/h, far is
bigger than each production installment biggest demand quantity sum
total 6600m3/h, 2002 year various towers movement parameter for
details sees table 1 and table 2. 4.2.2 cooling towers air blowers use the frequency

cooling towers air blower all moves the period, the cooling tower
enters the water temperature the maximum temperature mean value to
distribute in 34.5 ?~ 38 ?in; After circulates Water
Classic to cool, the cooling tower water leakage temperature maximum
temperature mean value distributes in 27.6 ?~ 28.8 ?in, it
compares each production installment to need the cooling water
temperature 32 ?to be low 3.2 ?~ 4.4 ? And may know
simultaneously is satisfying the cooling tower to enter the water
temperature to be lower than the most high fever water temperature
mean value and the cooling tower water leakage temperature is lower
than 高冷 under water temperature mean value this condition, the
single typhoon machine whole year running time is 2705h. If uses
the frequency conversion controller adjustment air blower rotational
speed, changes the air blower amount of wind, may make the cooling
tower water leakage temperature to enhance in 2 ?~ 3 ?
situations, still could satisfy the cooling tower water leakage
temperature <= 32 ?technological requirements, this obviously might
save the electrical energy. Provides according to the factory:

conservation potential by table 3 is 40% ~ 54%. 4.2.3 air blowers frequency conversion velocity modulation
implementation plan discussion 4.2.3.1 systems structures By P ?n3 knowledge: The air blower
conserves energy the preferred plan controls the air blower rotational
speed, the passable change electrical machinery control system has
adjusted the electrical machinery movement rotational speed, thus
achieves the control air blower rotational speed the goal. Because 3 typhoons machine actuations electrical machinery
power is 160kW, may select 1 frequency conversion controller
circulation method to move this system to be composed by 2 parts:
Frequency conversion return route: 1 frequency changer,
air switch Q1, exchanges contact device C1, C2, C3 and the automatic
operating control return route and the signal reports to the police
the return route composition frequency conversion shuttle service
return route; Labor frequency return route: Air switch Q2,
exchange contact device C4, C5, C6 and thermal relay T1, T2, T3 as
well as constitution labor frequency and so on manual operating
control return route (50Hz) moves the return route. 4.2.3.2 movements ways The normal state, change-over switch QK cuts to
the automatic movement return route, determines the cooling tower
water leakage temperature by the temperature sensor, transforms the
standard the electric current signal, delivers to the frequency
changer temperature detector, uses in to control the cooling tower air
blower rotational speed, changes the air blower the amount of wind,
thus changes the cooling tower water leakage temperature; When 1
typhoon machine revolution frequency approaches the labor frequency
movement still could not answer the purpose, this frequency conversion
movement air blower changes the labor frequency movement, again the
frequency conversion started another 1 typhoon machine, until
satisfied the circulating water temperature which each production
installment needed <= 32 ? The entire control system is a
closed loop governing system. According to the technological requirement, automatically
determined the electrical machinery is the frequency conversion
movement perhaps the labor frequency movement, and achieves the air
blower which first moves first to excise, various electrical machinery
shuttle service, thus lengthens the useful life of equipment.
When the frequency changer crashes, the change-over switch QK
cut to the manual condition, 3 Taiwan Telegraphic Transmission machine
movement still might satisfy the movement request in the labor
frequency condition. Uses the frequency changer velocity modulation the method,
changed the former electrical machinery to open, to stop is only the
hand control sole labor frequency movement way, thus avoided for
satisfying the cooling tower water leakage water temperature <= 32
? had to cause 1 or several typhoons machine occupies under the
labor frequency condition to move, but created the water temperature
excessively to be low, forms the nonessential energy waste.
Selects the frequency conversion velocity modulation movement
method, enhanced the water temperature control accuracy, and may
realize smoothly starts the electrical machinery, causes 3 Taiwan
Telegraphic Transmission machine shuttle service, thus enhances the
electrical machinery the service life. 4.2.4 air blowers energy conservation economic analysis (1) the cooling tower movement parameter which
shows by table 1 may know: 1 # tower handling ability only is 2#
or the 3# tower 66%, but it processes the 1m3/h hot water air blower
electric power only to consume really is the 2# tower and the 3# tower
air blower electric power only consumes mean value 1.783 times (namely
its big 0.0313kW/m3/h), its reason was this tower padding still for
the old-style low effect padding, if changed to the 1# tower padding
with the 2# tower same performance new highly effective padding, then
each hour handling ability might enhance 1000m3. If according to
the 1# tower process load is the 2000m3/h computation, each hour
electricity saving 2000×0.0313 = 62.6kW, the energy conservation
effect is quite considerable. The 1# tower every year the
running time is 3000h, the replacement padding must invest
approximately 450,000 Yuan. Income rate = 3000×62.6×0.56/45×104×100% = 23.37%. (2) uses the frequency conversion velocity modulation
plan, may result in every year total income value according to table 3
is 88,830 Yuan, the implementation frequency conversion control needs
to invest approximately 150,000 Yuan, the income rate =8.883/15×100%
= 59.2%, approximately 1.7 years can take back the investment cost,
moreover the equipment depreciation rate greatly reduces, obviously
conserves energy the effect to be remarkable. 5. always states The intelligent building and the function workshop high
speed development, causes the present building and the workshop energy
consumption is more and more big, the energy conservation method use
is a question which each superintendent and the operators all must
consider. But conserves energy is the present whole world
attention idea subject, but speaks the frequency changer energy
conservation on at present is the best investment least energy
conservation way and the control mode. Then, as cooling tower
user if after understood the frequency changer conserves energy
advantage. Regarding the such few investments naturally is
extremely being glad. Said regarding the cooling tower production factory that,
one kind of new product investment production first looked the market
the demand and can produce the benefit, through the above economic
analysis, we may obtain the use only then so long as after understood
the frequency changer application merit, based on the movement cost
and the maintenance of equipment consideration, inevitably could have
the strong interest to such investment. But in fact at present
in market regarding cooling tower frequency changer application
already extremely maturity, moreover also is facing this direction
fast development. The frequency changer application is the
present entire cooling tower market and even the entire central air
conditioning market tendency, looked according to the present market
conditions, more early invests the economic efficiency which the
frequency changer the application merchant receives inevitably is
quicker. Certainly this need cooling tower merchant sales
personnel carries on the frequency changer technology explanation to
the customer which exhaustive arrives. But the cooling tower
producer after has grasped the frequency changer technology, the
control section hardware income and the technical service income, all
might become a new profit growth spot. In the long-range view,
the cooling tower frequency changer application superiority can more
and more obvious, the frequency changer use also can be more and more
common, the merchant after used the cooling tower frequency conversion
technology not only to be allowed to obtain the income moreover also
to be possible to cause own cooling tower to be in the initiative
position for a long time in the intense market competition. Although can have the personnel in the earlier period
investment to provide and so on the investment, but looked from the
long term standpoint that, this investment to the cooling tower
merchant said will certainly to receive the rich profit repayment. |
