The present application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202011058970.9 filed on Sep. 30, 2020, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to the field of air conditioning devices, and specifically, to a method for anti-condensation at an air conditioner radiation terminal and radiation terminals in a multi-room space.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous progress of science and technology, users has higher requirements on indoor environments. Conventional air conditioners with forced-convection heat transfer changes temperatures and humidity in a room through indoor air circulation and convection heat transfer, which is prone to cause uncomfortableness of indoor users. However, in the end of 80s of the 20th century, the German engineer Donald Herbst invented the capillary network plane radiation system which had received widespread attention. Decades after the invention, this type of stealth air conditioning system is applied to many high-end commercial buildings, government buildings, banks, public utilities, and healthcare constructions. As in nowadays, the capillary network radiation temperature control technology has been used with the fresh air technology. A capillary network provides sensible heat, and a fresh air processor set provides latent heat and fresh air required for air replacement. This type of air conditioning system, compared with conventional air conditioning, has obvious advantages of stable and safe operating, no wind blows, few noises, being comfortable and energy-saving, good indoor temperature uniformity, etc.
However, there are some drawbacks of the capillary network radiation fresh-air air conditioning system. In the process of using, when a surface temperature of an indoor capillary network is lower than an indoor air dew point, condensation can easily occur. If the problem of condensation is not well addressed, a wall surface may go moldy. At present, an air conditioning system often shuts off water to address the problem, and although this method can prevent deteriorating of condensation in a short time, there can still easily be condensation. In addition, especially in a transition season, an outdoor moisture load is heavy, but temperatures are lower, so that at this time both dehumidification and heating are needed indoors. A normal system running mode may make too cold inside a room and large energy consumptions; and existing fresh air systems also rely on working of an outdoor machine during dehumidification, which needs to consume a large amount of electrical power.
After research, a patent entitled “Radiating air conditioning system preventing moisture condensation through variable water temperatures” (published as CN202166137U) has been disclosed by Shanghai Landsea Building Tech. The air conditioning system disclosed in the patent comprises a radiation air conditioning system mounted indoors; a heat pump used for providing cold water or hot water to the radiation air conditioning system; and a fresh air feed system used for feeding fresh air into a room. The system also comprises a plurality of dehumidifiers mounted indoors and a central controller, a sensing device used for receiving indoor temperatures and humidity changes is arranged in the central controller, the central controller is connected to the heat pump for controlling temperatures of water output by the heat pump, moreover, the central controller is connected with the dehumidifiers for controlling start and stop of the dehumidifiers. In the patent, the dehumidifiers are controlled by the central controller to start and close for dehumidifying, meanwhile, the temperatures of water output by the heat pump is improved, so that moisture condensation can not be formed. However, in a case in which a window is opened suddenly, after the heat pump changes the water temperatures, not only a water temperature increasing rate is relatively slow, but electrical energy is greatly consumed, so that more effective anti-condensation is difficult to be achieved.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an air conditioning system for anti-condensation at a radiation terminal, to overcome a technical problem in the conventional technology that condensation is easily to occur at a radiation terminal and there is high energy consumption in anti-condensation.
