The present disclosure relates to a field of air conditioners, and more particularly to a method for adjusting an oil volume of a compressor of a multi-split system, an apparatus for adjusting an oil volume of a compressor of a multi-split system and a multi-split system including such an apparatus.
A compressor of a multi-split system requires sufficient lubricating oil for lubrication. If the oil amount of the compressor is insufficient, the lubrication is insufficient and a problem of power increase of the compressor and abrasion of moving components of the compressor may cause the compressor to burn. During installation, when the multi-split system requires a longer piping or a larger indoor unit ratio, the lubricating oil in the piping and the indoor units of such a multi-split system may be increased compared to a short-piping multi-split system. In order to ensure that there is sufficient lubricating oil in the compressor, the system needs to be filled with more refrigeration oil. If additional lubricating oil is added during installation of the multi-split system, problems caused by such as water ingress, mixed lubricating oil and improper charging amount may occur. On this basis, it is required to add a maximum amount of lubricating oil according to an installation range design of a product during the product design. However, in this case, when the installation of the system only requires a short piping, redundant lubricating oil will enter a heat exchanger and a refrigerant connection pipe of the system, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger and an increase in pressure loss of the refrigerant connection pipe, which seriously affects operating efficiency of the system.

The switch unit 151 may be provided at the inlet or the outlet of the oil storage tank 152. The schematic diagram shown in
As shown in
In S1, the switch unit is controlled to turn on and the oil volume adjusting unit is controlled to turn off to enable the oil storage tank to recover oil.
In one embodiment, during operation, the switch unit at the inlet of the oil storage tank is in the turn-off state, and at the same time, the oil volume adjusting unit is also in the turn-off state. When the oil is recovered to the oil storage tank, the switch unit at the inlet of the oil storage tank is in the turn-on state, and the oil volume adjusting unit is still in the turn-off state at the same time.
In S2, after a duration in which the oil is recovered to the oil storage tank reaches a first preset duration, the switch unit is controlled to turn off and the multi-split system is controlled to perform a test run. In one embodiment, the first preset duration is long enough to fully fill the oil storage tank, which can be calibrated according to actual conditions.
In other words, after the oil storage tank is recovering oil for the first preset duration t1, the switch unit is turned off, the oil storage tank is full of oil, and the multi-line system is tested for a trial operation. The compressor is working at a preset frequency, and the indoor unit is working in a preset state.
In S3, a pressure loss of a low-pressure piping and a refrigerant flow quantity during the test run of the multi-split system are acquired, and a pipe diameter of the low-pressure piping and a density of a low-pressure refrigerant in the multi-split system are acquired.
In one embodiment, the pressure loss P1 of the low-pressure piping is acquired from a pressure difference between a pressure at an inlet of an indoor heat exchanger and a gas return pressure of the compressor.
The refrigerant flow quantity may be acquired from calculation based on a ten-coefficient equation of the compressor, i.e., Q=A0+A1*Tev+A2*Tcd+A3*Tev2+A4*Tev*Tcd+A5*Tcd2+A6*Tev3+A7*Tcd*Tev2+A8*Tev*Tcd2+A9*Tcd3, where A0 to A9 are experimentally-fitted constant values, Tev is a low-pressure saturation temperature, and Tcd is a high-pressure saturation temperature.
The diameter D of the low-pressure piping of the multi-split system may be acquired according to an outdoor unit model table. The density Den of the low-pressure refrigerant may be determined according to refrigerant type, and pressure and temperature at the low-pressure side.
In S4, a redundant oil volume to be recovered is acquired according to the pressure loss of the low-pressure piping, the refrigerant flow quantity, the pipe diameter of the low-pressure piping and the density of the low-pressure refrigerant, and an oil volume to be discharged is acquired according to the redundant oil volume and a maximum oil storage volume of the oil storage tank.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, acquisition of the redundant oil volume to be recovered according to the pressure loss of the low-pressure piping, the refrigerant flow quantity, the pipe diameter of the low-pressure piping and the density of the low-pressure refrigerant includes: acquiring an oil volume required by a current piping of the multi-split system according to the pressure loss of the low-pressure piping, the refrigerant flow quantity, the pipe diameter of the low-pressure piping and the density of the low-pressure refrigerant; acquiring an additional-supplemented oil volume of the multi-split system; subtracting the oil volume required by the current piping from the additional-supplemented oil volume to acquire the redundant oil volume.
In one embodiment, according to the pressure loss P1 of the low-pressure piping when the current system is working, the refrigerant flow quantity Q when the current system is working, the pipe diameter D of the low-pressure piping and the density Den of the low-pressure refrigerant of the current system, an equivalent piping length L of the system may be acquired as L=A*D5*P1*Den/Q2, where A is a experimentally-fitted constant value. Then, according to the calculated equivalent piping length and high and low pressure piping diameters queried from the table, the oil volume Q1 required for the current length of piping may be acquired (by looking up the pre-set table). Finally, the redundant oil volume Q2 to be recovered may be calculated according to the formula Q2=Qe−Q1, where Qe is the additional-supplemented oil volume when the system is designed.
In S5, a difference between a high pressure and a low pressure of the multi-split system is controlled to be in a pre-set pressure range to acquire an oil discharging rate, an oil discharging duration is acquired according to the oil volume to be discharged and the oil discharging rate, and a turn-on duration of the oil volume adjusting device is controlled to reach the oil discharging duration to discharge the oil volume to be discharged out of the multi-split system.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the oil discharging duration is acquired according to the following formula: t2=B*Q3/Qx, where t2 is the oil discharging duration, B is a pre-set coefficient, Qx is the oil discharging rate, Q3 is the oil volume to be discharged, and Q3=Q2−Qz, where Q2 is the redundant oil volume, and Qz is the maximum oil storage volume of the oil storage tank.
In one embodiment, after acquiring the redundant oil quantity Q2 to be recovered by the calculation according to the formula Q3=Q2−Qz, the oil volume Q3 to be discharged from the oil storage tank, which is full of oil, is further calculated. The multi-split system enters an oil discharge control operation state, and the oil discharge control is as follows: the switch unit maintains in the turn-off state, and the difference between the high pressure and the low pressure of the multi-split system is controlled in the pre-set pressure range to ensure the oil volume Qx recovered per unit duration (i.e., the oil discharging rate) when the oil volume adjusting unit is turned on; according to the formula t2=B*Q3/Qx, the oil discharging duration t2 is calculated; the oil volume adjusting unit is turned on to discharge the oil volume to be discharged out of the multi-split system, and after working for the duration t2, the oil volume adjusting unit is turned off and the system retreats from the oil discharge control. Therefore, the problem of an energy efficiency loss of the system caused by over-filed compressor oil can be effectively solved, thus improving the operating efficiency of the system.
As described above, by adding an oil volume adjusting device to the multi-split system, the oil volume functioning in the system can be controlled according to the installation characteristics of the system, to improve the operating efficiency of the system.
