DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following descriptions, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar elements and elements having same or similar functions are denoted by like reference numerals throughout the descriptions. The embodiments described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, which are used to explain the present disclosure, and shall not be construed to limit the present disclosure.

The method for controlling a fresh air machine, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the device for controlling a fresh air machine, and the fresh air machine including the device for controlling a fresh air machine will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fresh air machine may include a fan module and a fan module radiator arranged corresponding to the fan module. The fan module is arranged in the electric control box of the fresh air machine. A side of the fan module radiator is arranged in the electric control box, and the other side of the fan module radiator is exposed in the box on the delivery air side of the fresh air machine. The fan module is arranged on the fan module radiator, such that the fan module radiator can radiate the heat of the fan module.

When the fresh air machine performs refrigerant operation in the indoor environment with high humidity, the outlet temperature of the fresh air machine may be lower, such that the fan module may be cooled, and the outlet wind with the lower temperature may also be transmitted to the fan module radiator close to one side of the fan module. Since the thermal conductivity of the fan module radiator is better, its surface temperature can be greatly reduced, when the surface temperature is less than the indoor dew point temperature, condensation may occur on the fan module radiator, and the condensation may drip into or flow into the electric control box, causing short circuit, component damage, and even fire or other accidents in serious cases. Therefore, when it is determined that the fan module radiator is about to condense, it is necessary to take corresponding measures to prevent the condensation from continuing to occur, to avoid the above dangerous situation, and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the fresh air machine.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a fresh air machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the method according the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the followings.

At block S1, a current operation mode of the fresh air machine is obtained, and it is determined whether the current operation mode is one of a refrigeration mode or a delivery air mode.

At block S2, it is determined whether there is condensation on the fan module radiator in response to determining that the current operation mode is the refrigeration mode or the delivery air mode.

Specifically, according to the foregoing analysis, it is known that, when the surface temperature of the fan module radiator is less than the indoor dew point temperature, the condensation may occur on the fan module radiator. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the risk of occurrence of condensation on the fan module radiator (i.e., determining whether there is the condensation on the fan module radiator) can be determined based on the surface temperature of the fan module radiator and the indoor dew point temperature.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, determining whether there is the condensation on the fan module radiator may include: obtaining a current indoor ambient temperature, a current indoor ambient humidity, and a temperature of the fan module radiator; obtaining a current indoor dew point temperature based on the current indoor ambient temperature and the current indoor ambient humidity, and calculating a temperature difference between the temperature of the fan module radiator and the current indoor dew point temperature; determining whether the temperature difference is less than a first preset temperature value and lasts for a first preset time; and determining that there is the condensation on the fan module radiator in response to determining that the temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature value and lasts for the first preset time. The first preset temperature value and the first preset time may be calibrated according to actual conditions.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the current indoor ambient temperature T1 and the current indoor ambient humidity TW may be obtained by the indoor temperature sensor and the indoor humidity sensor, respectively (or T1 and TW may be obtained by the indoor temperature/humidity sensor), and the temperature Tf (i.e., the surface temperature) of the fan module radiator may be obtained by the temperature sensor disposed on the fan module radiator. Then, the current indoor dew point temperature Td can be calculated based on T1 and TW, and the difference between Tf and Td can be calculated, and the difference (Tf−Td) can be determined. When the difference (Tf−Td) is less than the first preset temperature value ΔT, and the state in which the difference (Tf−Td) is less than the first preset temperature value ΔT lasts for the first preset time T, it can be indicated that the temperature of the fan module radiator is far less than the current indoor dew point temperature, and it can be determined that there may be condensation on the fan module radiator. Otherwise, it can be determined that there may not be condensation on the fan module radiator.

At block S13, in response to determining that there is the condensation on the fan module radiator, a wind level of the fresh air machine or a target overheat degree of the fresh air machine is adjusted based on the current operation mode, to remove the condensation on the fan module radiator.

Specifically, when it is determined that there is condensation on the fan module radiator, the condensation on fan module radiator may be removed by increasing the temperature of the fan module radiator, since the operation mode of the fresh air machine may be different, the way to increase the temperature of the fan module radiator may also vary.

For example, when the current operation mode of the fresh air machine is the delivery air mode, the compressor does not operate, in this case, the temperature of the fan module radiator may be increased by adjusting the fan speed of the fresh air machine. When the current operation mode of the fresh air machine is the refrigeration mode, the compressor operates, in this case, the temperature of the fan module radiator may be increased by adjusting the indoor refrigerant capacity. Since, during the refrigerating process, the refrigerant flowing into the fresh air machine is controlled according to the target overheat degree of the evaporator in the fresh air machine, the temperature of the fan module radiator may be increased by adjusting the target overheat degree of the evaporator.

The adjustment of the wind level (the wind level of the fan of the fresh air machine) of the fresh air machine to remove the condensation on the fresh air machine will be described below when the current operation mode of the fresh air machine is the delivery air mode.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, adjusting the wind level of the fresh air machine or the target overheat degree of the fresh air machine based on the current operation mode includes: in response to determining that the current operation mode is the delivery air mode, increasing the wind level of the fresh air machine by a first preset level every second preset time, until the temperature difference between the temperature of the fan module radiator and the current indoor dew point temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value and lasts for the first preset time, or until the wind level of the fresh air machine reaches a maximum wind level. The second preset time and the first preset level may be calibrated according to actual conditions.

Specifically, when the current operation mode of the fresh air machine is the delivery air mode, and there is the condensation on the fan module radiator, the temperature of the fan module radiator may be increased by increasing the wind level of the fresh air machine, such that the temperature of the fan module radiator can be close to greater than the indoor dew point temperature, to remove the condensation water on the fan module radiator. For example, the wind level of the fresh air machine may be increased by the first preset level (such as 1 level) every second preset time, until the difference (Tf−Td) is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value ΔT, and the state in which the difference (Tf−Td) is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value ΔT lasts for the first preset time T, or unit the wind level of the fresh air machine reaches the maximum wind level (which may be determined according to the specification of the air machine), the adjustment of the wind level of the fresh air machine can be stopped, and the fan of the fresh air machine can be operated in the current wind level.

The adjustment of the target overheat degree of the fresh air machine to remove the condensation on the fresh air machine will be described below when the current operation mode of the fresh air machine is the refrigeration mode.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, adjusting the wind level of the fresh air machine or the target overheat degree of the fresh air machine based on the current operation mode includes: in response to determining that the current operation mode is the refrigeration mode, increasing the target overheat degree of the fresh air machine by a first preset value every second preset time, until the temperature difference between the temperature of the fan module radiator and the current indoor dew point temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value and lasts for the first preset time, or until the target overheat degree of the fresh air machine reaches a maximum target overheat degree. The first preset value may be calibrated according to actual conditions.

Specifically, when the current operation mode is the refrigeration mode, and there is the condensation on the fan module radiator, the temperature of the fan module radiator may be increased by increasing the target overheat degree of the evaporator to remove the condensation water on the fan module radiator. For example, the target overheat degree of the evaporator may be increased by the first preset value (such as 1° C.) every second preset time, until the difference (Tf−Td) is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value ΔT and lasts for the first preset time T, or unit the target overheat degree of the evaporator reaches the maximum target overheat degree (the maximum target overheat degree allowed during normal operation of the fresh air machine), the adjustment of the target overheat degree of the evaporator can be stopped, and the fresh air machine can be controlled to operate in the current target overheat degree.

The target overheat degree of the evaporator may be default target overheat degree when shipped from the factory, or the target overheat degree sent by the outdoor machine or the central controller during the refrigeration operation of the fresh air machine, or the target overheat degree calculated based on the saturation temperature corresponding to the outlet temperature and the outlet pressure, by obtaining the outlet temperature and the outlet pressure of the evaporator, which is not limited herein.

At block S105, it is determined whether (Tf−Td) is less than the first preset value ΔT and lasts for the first preset time T. If yes, go to block S106, if no, go to block S101.

At block S106, it is determined whether the current operation mode is the refrigeration mode. If yes, go to block S107, if no, go to block S109.

At block S107, the target overheat degree SHS of the fresh air machine is increased by a first preset value (such as 1° C.) every second preset time t2.

At block S108, it is determined whether (Tf−Td) is greater than or equal to the first preset value ΔT and lasts for the first preset time T, or whether the target overheat degree SHS is equal to the maximum target overheat degree SHSmax. If yes, go to block S111, if no, go to block S107.

At block S109, the wind level FAN of the fresh air machine is increased by a first preset level (such as 1 level) every second preset time t2.

At block S111, the current state is kept.
