[0003] In practical applications, a conventional air-conditioning system is to realize a
coupling control of a temperature and humidity of indoor air, and thus such issues
as high carbon dioxide concentration, excessive dehumidification, poor body feeling,
and high noise may occur. Therefore, a five-constant air-conditioning system was born,
so as to enable an indoor room to be a healthy ecological living environment with
constant temperature, constant humidity, constant oxygen, constant cleanliness, and
constant static.

laying or buried manners, a heat transfer efficiency and a cold transfer efficiency
of the floor surface are adversely affected due to that the pipe is not in direct
contact with the floor, thereby to provide a poor cooling and heating efficiency.

application. The ground-embedded air-conditioning system includes a controller, an
empty floor space layer 101, and a cold/heat source and at least one fan-coil assembly
102 electrically connected to the controller. An air convective circulation channel
is formed by the empty floor space layer and an indoor space above a floor. A supply
vent 103 and a return vent 104 are provided in the empty floor space layer 101, and
the at least one fan-coil assembly 102 is arranged at positions of the supply vent
103 and the return vent 104. The controller controls the cold/heat source to provide
a cold or heat source to the fan-coil assembly 102 at the return vent 104. Air in
the indoor space is driven by the fan-coil assembly 102 at the supply vent 103 under
the control of the controller, to enter the fan-coil assembly 102 at the return vent
104 for heat exchange, pass through the empty floor space layer 101 and the fan-coil
assembly 102 at the supply vent 103, and enter the indoor space, thereby to realize
a cooling or heating cycle of the air in the convective circulation channel.
[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the fan-coil assembly 102 is a split-type
and embedded fan-coil assembly.
[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the fan-coil assembly 102 includes

[0033] Specifically, the air return module 1022 includes a first surface cooler 10221 configured
to perform heat exchange for the air in the indoor space to obtain cold air or hot
air.
[0034] It should be appreciated that the air supply module 1021 includes a forced fan 10211.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the empty floor space layer 101 is

and a thermal insulation layer 1014 arranged in an order from top to bottom, the support
frame 103 is located between the calcium silicate board 102 and the thermal insulation
layer 1014, and configured to support the floor layer 1011and the calcium silicate
board 1012, and form a height of an air duct corresponding to the empty floor space
layer101, thereby to form an overall air duct through the empty floor space layer
101.
[0036] It should be appreciated that, when passing through the empty floor space layer,
the cold or hot air is in dynamic flow contact with the calcium silicate board and
the floor layer, thereby to cool or heat the indoor space in a surface radiation manner.
[0037] A material of the support frame may be determined according to an actual application
scenario. The support frame may be made of high-strength engineering plastic or high-strength
engineering steel. By way of non-limiting examples, a U-type notch is arranged at
each one of two ends of the support frame, so as to enable the support frame to be
fastened into the calcium silicate board and the thermal insulation layer. A plurality
of hollowed-out grooves is provided in the support frame, so as to break off the support
frame according to an actual laying scenario, thereby to adjust a length of the support
frame.
[0038] In practical applications, the air supply module 1021 specifically includes a housing
1 and a surface cooler 2 disposed in the housing 1, as shown in Figs. 14-17. The surface
cooler 2 is a finned surface cooler, and the hot or cooling water supplied by an external
device heats or cools the indoor air entering the fan-coil assembly.
[0039] A drip tray 3 is arranged in the housing 1, and a diversion channel 31 is arranged
in the drip tray 3. A supporting protrusion 32 (referring to Fig. 3) is integrally
formed with the drip tray 3 or a split-type supporting board 33 (referring to Fig.
4) is inserted into the drip tray 3.
[0040] An inner chamber of the housing 1 is divided by the supporting protrusion 32 or the
supporting board 33 into a first chamber 13 and a second chamber 14. The housing 1
is provided with an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 communicating with the first
chamber 13, the air inlet 11 is arranged on the top of the housing 1, and the air
outlet 12 is arranged on a side surface of the housing 1.
[0041] The diversion channel 31 performs diversion from the first chamber 13 to the second
chamber 14, and is provided with downwardly inclined diversion members on both sides
of a diversion direction. The diversion members include a first diversion member 34
and a second diversion member 35, the first diversion member 34 is arranged on a side
of the diversion channel 31 close to the air outlet 12, and the second diversion member
35 extends towards the surface cooler 2 and abuts against the top of the casing 1.
[0042] A plurality of positioning protrusions 36 are arranged on a diversion surface of
the second diversion member 35, and the positioning protrusions 36 are configured
to support the surface cooler 2. The diversion surface of the second diversion member
35 is in a downwardly concave arc shape.
[0043] A sink 37 is provided at the end of the diversion channel 31 located in the second
chamber 14, and a water collection cavity 38 concaved downwardly is further provided
in the sink 37. A water level switch 4 for detecting a height of a water level and
a water pump 5 for pumping water in accordance with a signal of the water level switch
4 are provided in the water collection cavity 38. A controller 6 is further arranged
in the fan-coil assembly, and the controller 6 is electrically connected to the water
level switch 4 and the water pump 5, and configured to receive and process the signal
of the water level switch 4, so as to control the water pump 5 to be started and turned
off.
[0044] The surface cooler 2 is arranged in the first chamber 13, and connected to the supporting
protrusion 32 or the supporting board 33, so as to be horizontally arranged above
the drip tray 3. In this regard, condensed water generated during the heat exchange
of the surface cooler 2 drips into the drip tray 3 under the action of gravity and
is discharged in time. The surface cooler 2 communicates with external water supply
through a connecting pipe 21 in the second chamber 14. The connecting pipe 21 is located
above the drip tray 3, that is, a projection of the connecting pipe 21 in a vertical
direction is within a range of the drip tray 3. When water leakage occurs at a connecting
point, dripping water directly falls into the drip tray 3, so as to prevent other
structures such as the surface cooler 2 from being polluted.
[0045] A draining connector 51 is arranged in the housing 1, and an inner end thereof is
located in the second chamber 14, and an outer end thereof is exposed to the outer
side of the housing 1. A water outlet of the water pump 5 communicates with a draining
pipe 52, and an end of the draining pipe 52 is connected to the inner end of the draining
connector 51, and the inner end of the draining connector 51 is located above the
drip tray 3. The water outlet is connected to the draining pipe 52 at a position above
the drip tray 3, and there is an offset between an projection of the position in the
vertical direction onto the drip tray 3 and the projection of the connecting pipe
21 in the vertical direction onto the drip tray 3, so it is able for the drip tray
3 to collect leaked water droplets in time, thereby to maintain the cleanliness inside
the cavity.
[0046] During the operation of the fan-coil assembly, the external device forms a negative
pressure at the air outlet, so as to drive the indoor air into the first chamber through
the air inlet, and exit the fan-coil assembly through the air outlet after being heated
or cooled by the surface cooler. At the same time, an external water supply system
supplies hot or cooling water to the surface cooler in circulated manner, thereby
realizing the heating or cooling function of the surface cooler. Therefore, during
operation, the surface cooler generates a large amount of condensed water, and the
condensed water either drops directly into the drip tray, or flows into the drip tray
through the supporting protrusion, supporting board or positioning protrusion. The
condensed waste water flows along the diversion channel to the second chamber, and
finally gathers in the water collection cavity. At this time, the water level switch
detects a rising water level, and the controller controls the water pump to be turned
on. The water pump pumps the waste water out of the water collection cavity and discharges
it out of the fan coil assembly through the draining pipe. In addition, water leakage
occurs easily at a position where the surface cooler is connected to the connecting
pipe, a position where the water pump is connected to the draining pipe, and a position
where the draining pipe is connected to the draining connector, and the dripping waste
water drips into the drip tray in the second chamber and flows into the end of the
diversion channel to mix with the condensed waste water. Next, the mixture is discharged
out of the fan-coil assembly through pumping.

thus the air from the indoor space is driven into the return air module 1022 for heat
exchange, and then sent back to the indoor space by the air supply module 1021 after
passing through the empty floor space layer 101, thereby forming a convective circulation
of the air. The refrigerated or heated air is capable of being in dynamic contact
with the empty floor space layer when flowing in the empty floor space layer 101,
so as to cool or heat the indoor space through the empty floor space layer 101 in
a radiation manner, thereby reducing a temperature difference between the floor and
the indoor air and improving user comfortability.
[0070] The empty floor space layer 101 is arranged on the indoor floor, the supply vent
and the return vent are provided in a top surface of the empty floor space layers,
the air return module 1022 is embedded in the return vent, the air supply module 1021
is embedded in the supply vent, and the air return module 1022 is arranged opposite
to the air supply module 1021. A distance from the air return module 1022 to the air
supply module 1021 determine a size of a convective circulation space.
[0071] In an actual installation process, convective circulation is performed on only part
of the indoor space according to a size of an activity space. In this regard, locations
of the supply vent and the return vent should be as close to the wall as possible,
so as to reduce a frequency of stepping on the return air module 1022 and the air
supply module 1021 during the user's activities, and prolong the service life. The
air outlet effect and efficiency are the best when the air is supplied from the walls
arranged opposite to each other, so as to enable an effective cooling/heating area
of the room to be mainly in the center of a room, and improve the comfortability in
the room.
[0072] The empty floor space layer 101 has various structural forms. In the embodiment of
the present application, the floor overhead layer 101 includes a first upper connecting
plate 110, a first lower connecting plate 120, and a plurality of support columns
130 arranged in a matrix form between the first upper connecting plate 110 and the
first lower connecting plate 120. Various air ducts connecting the air return module
1022 and the air supply module 1021 are formed among the supporting columns 130, and
the air ducts extend horizontally to allow air to flow in a straight line form without
being blocked by the floor layer. The calcium silicate board 1012 is arranged on the
first upper connecting plate 110, and a floor 15 is arranged on the calcium silicate
board 1012 in a spliced manner. The quantity of the support columns 130 and a spacing
between the support columns may be set according to a size of the calcium silicate
board 1012 or the floor 15.
[0073] Preferably, the first upper connecting plate 110, the first lower connecting plate
120 and the supporting columns 130 are formed as one piece and made of waterproof
plastic, so as to prevent the air duct from being polluted by bacteria grow in a large
amount of condensed water generated in the heat exchange process.
[0074] The support column 130 has various structural forms, such as a truncated-cone-like
shape. In the embodiment of the present application, the support column 130 is of
a cylindrical structure, thereby reducing a space it occupies and reducing a wind
resistance.
[0075] The air return module 1022 includes a housing 10221, a water receiving tray 10222,
a supporting plate 10223, a heat exchanger 10224 and a controller 10225 disposed in
the housing 10221. The top of the housing 10221 communicates with the return vent,
and a plurality of air outlets are opened on a side of the housing 10221 facing the
air supply module 1021, and the plurality of air outlets correspond to, and communicate
with, the air ducts respectively, and the air outlets correspond to the air inlets
respectively. The air outlets include a first air outlet 211 and a second air outlet
212.
[0076] A diversion channel 221 is arranged in the water receiving tray 10222, and a diversion
surface 222 inclined downwardly is arranged at each of two sides of the diversion
channel 221. The supporting plate 10223 is integrally formed with the water receiving
tray 10222 or vertically inserted into the water receiving tray 10222, to divide an
inner cavity of the housing 10221 into a fresh air chamber and a return air chamber.
The housing 10221 is further provided with a fresh air damper 26 electrically connected
to the controller 10225, and the fresh air chamber communicates with the first air
outlet 211. A heat exchanger 10224 is arranged in the return air chamber, and the
heat exchanger 10224 may be a surface cooler or the like. The heat exchanger 10224
is vertically inserted into the supporting plate 10223 through an end plate, and divides
the return air chamber into an air return passage communicating with the return vent
and an air outlet passage communicating with the second air outlet 212. The controller
10225 is arranged in the fresh air chamber, thereby improving the structure compactness
of the return air module 1022. The condensed water generated by the surface cooler
drops into the water receiving tray 10222, flows into the diversion channel 221 through
the diversion surface 222, and flows along the diversion channel 221 into the fresh
air chamber, and accumulates in the water collection cavity. When the water level
is exceeded, the water level switch generates a signal to start the water pump, so
that the waste water is pumped out of to a return fan.
[0077] Preferably, a partition 27 is further provided in the air return module 1022, the
partition 27 is arranged above the fresh air chamber and connected to the end plate,
so as to isolate the fresh air chamber from the return air outlet. Part of the indoor
air entering the air return module 1022 through the return vent is cooled or heated
directly by the heat exchanger 10224, and another part of the indoor air is blocked
by the partition 27 and then flows along the partition 27 until it is in contact with
the heat exchanger 10224. Various kind of sensors 28 are arranged on the partition
27, and the sensors 28 include a PM2.5 detector, an oxygen concentration detector,
a temperature-humidity detector, etc., so as to monitor various parameters in real
time and improve user experience.
[0078] Preferably, a limit switch 29 electrically connected to the controller 10225 is further
arranged on a side surface of the partition 27 close to the return vent. The return
air module 1022 is further covered with a return air cover 40 located in the return
vent. The return air cover 40 enables the limit switch 29 to be pressed, and when
the return air cover 40 is removed, the limit switch 29 pops up, thereby to interrupt
the power source for the return air module 1022 and the supply air module 1021.
[0079] Preferably, the supporting plate 10223 and the water receiving tray 10222 are each
made of an EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) material, and gaps thereof are filled with
PU (ployurethane) foam, so as to improve the sealing performance.
[0080] The air supply module 1021 includes a housing 310, a rotor 320 rotatably disposed
on the housing 310, and a wind deflector 330 covered above the rotor 320. The housing
310 is provided with various inlets 311 at a side facing the return air module 1022,
and the inlets 311 correspond to the air ducts respectively, so that the air exiting
through air outlets passes through the air ducts in a straight line manner, and then
enters the air inlets 311. The wind deflector 330 is vertically covered in the housing
310 and is fastened into the housing 310 through an elastic buckle. The supply vent
is covered with a supply air cover 50. A limit switch is also set in the forced fan,
the limit switch is close to a side surface of the supply vent. The supply air cover
enables the limit switch to be pressed down, and when the supply air cover is removed,
the limit switch pops up, thereby to interrupt the power source for the return fan
and the forced fan.
[0081] In order to enable the air supply module 1021 and the air return module 1022 to be
installed against the walls, a facing direction of the fresh air damper 26 is parallel
to the walls and is arranged on a side of the air return module 1022 close to a room
door, and a fresh air pipe communicating with the fresh air damper 26 extends out
of empty floor space layer 101 from the bottom of the room door, so as to communicate
with the outside air, thereby maximizing a convection circulation space.
[0082] The air supply module 1021 and the air return module 1022 may be arranged opposite
to each other horizontally or vertically in a house. Preferably, the fresh air damper
26 faces the room door, so that the fresh air from the outside may flow into the fresh
air chamber along a straight line, thereby to avoid a curved pipe, reduce a length
of the fresh air pipe, and improve a fresh air efficiency.
[0083] Preferably, the housing 10221 of the air return module 1022 and the housing 310 of
the air supply module 1021 are each provided with step-like grooves, and the step-like
grooves are used to support and limit the calcium silicate board 1012 and the floor
15.
[0084] When in use, the controller controls the return fan and the forced fan to be started,
so that the indoor air flows along a convection circulation direction. When cooling
or heating the indoor space is required, the return air is cooled or heated by the
heat exchanger, and then is circulated to enable an indoor temperature to fall or
rise quickly.
[0085] When a quality of the indoor air is reduced, the fresh air damper is turned on, to
enable the fresh air to enter the fresh air chamber without passing through the heat
exchanger for heat exchange. Next, the fresh air directly enters the air duct from
the second air outlet, and mixes with the return air after heat exchange in the air
duct.
[0086] Preferably, the supporting plate includes several supporting columns 130 arranged
in a straight line manner, and a second upper connecting plate 16 and a second lower
connecting plate 17 connected to the supporting columns 130. A spacing between the
supporting plates forms the air duct. Due to the split-type structure, it is able
to facilitate installation on site and provide strong versatility.
[0087] Preferably, the supporting plate is made of a metal material, such as stainless steel,
aluminum, so as to improve the effect of radiation.
[0088] Preferably, the empty floor space layer further includes a heating module (not shown)
electrically connected to the controller 10225 for heating the supporting plate. When
there is a large temperature difference between the supporting plate and the air (especially
when a temperature of the supporting plate is lower than a temperature of the air),
the heating module is turned on to heat the supporting plate for a short time, so
as to enable the temperature of the supporting plate to be increased quickly, thereby
to reduce the temperature difference between the supporting plate and the air, and
avoid a water accumulation issue caused by the generation of large amounts of condensed
water. In addition to the heating module, a flocking fabric may be further provided
to cover the outer side of the supporting plate, so as to prevent condensed water
from being generated when the supporting plate is in contact with air.
[0089] When the ground-embedded air-conditioning system is turned on, and a heating operation
is performed, the heating module is turned on first to rapidly increase the temperature
of the supporting plate and reduce the temperature difference between the supporting
plate and the indoor air, and then the forced fan and return fan are turned on.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, it is not only able to improve the
heat transfer efficiency and cooling efficiency of the floor surface, but also avoids
the occurrence of short circuit due to that the surface cooler and the fan are arranged
together through arranging the first surface cooler in the air return module separately
from the air supply module. The quantity and positions of the air supply modules may
be set according to an actual application scenario. The surface cooler and the fan
may be inspected, repaired and cleaned separately, thereby reducing the maintenance
cost. In the embodiment of the present application, a buried manner is adopted instead
of a suspended ceiling manner. During the implementation of air supply and return
in the suspended ceiling manner, it is necessary to manually drill holes in a lintel
and suspend the ceiling in advance, so that a difficulty in installation is large,
the safety of the building structure is adversely affected, construction cost is high,
and the cooling and heating effect is adversely affected by a construction quality.
[0091] Referring to Fig. 6, a control method for the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
in the embodiments of the present application includes the following steps.
[0092] 601, controlling the cold/heat source to output a target source through the controller
in response to a mode control instruction, where the target source is the cold or
heat source.
[0093] The mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool or heat each indoor space.
The cold/heat source is used to provide the cold and heat sources of the ground-embedded
air-conditioning system.
[0094] Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing an electrical connection of the ground-embedded
air-conditioning system.
[0095] A specific cold/heat source may be set according to an actual application scenario.
By way of non-limiting examples, the cold/heat source may be a heat pump water module
or a fluorine machine module. The heat pump water module includes, but not limited
to, a heat pump, a waterpower module and an energy storage device, the waterpower
module includes, but not limited to, a water pipe and a water valve, the fluorine
machine module includes, but not limited to, a Freon compressor, an oil separator,
an oil return capillary, a heat exchanger, an electronic valve, a one-way valve, a
gas-liquid separator and a four-way valve.
[0096] 602, controlling the fan-coil assembly at the supply vent of each indoor space through
the controller to drive the air in the indoor space into the fan-coil assembly at
the return vent.
[0097] It should be appreciated that at least one supply vent may be provided in each indoor
space.
[0098] 603, controlling the fan-coil assembly at the return vent of each indoor space through
the controller to perform heat exchange on the air in each indoor space in accordance
with the target source, to obtain target air, where the target air is cold air or
hot air.
[0099] Specifically, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fan-coil assembly
at the return vent of each indoor space through the controller to perform heat exchange
on the air in each indoor space in accordance with the target source, to obtain the
target air. When the target source is the cold source, cold air is obtained. When
the target the source is the heat source, hot air is obtained.
[0100] 604, controlling the fan-coil assembly at the supply vent of each indoor space through
the controller to drive the target air to enter each indoor space sequentially through
the empty floor space layer of each indoor space and the fan-coil assembly at the
supply vent, thereby to realize a cooling or heating cycle of the air in the convective
circulation channel.
[0101] Specifically, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fan-coil assembly
at the supply vent of each indoor space through the controller to drive the target
air to enter each indoor space sequentially through the empty floor space layer of
each indoor space and the fan-coil assembly at the supply vent. In this regard, when
the target air is cold air, a cooling cycle of the air of each indoor space in the
convective circulation channel is realized. When the target air is hot air, a heating
cycle of the air of each indoor space in the convective circulation channel is realized.
[0102] In a possible embodiment of the present application, in the case that the mode control
instruction is used to instruct to cool each indoor space, the cold/heat source is
controlled by the controller to pass through the air processing assembly to dehumidify
the fresh air introduced from the outside in each indoor space.
[0103] It should be appreciated that all the indoor spaces correspond to one air processing
assembly.
[0104] Fig. 8 is a top view of the ground-embedded air-conditioning system applied to multiple
indoor spaces.
[0105] In a possible embodiment of the present application, the cold/heat source is the
heat pump water module. Since the humidity ratio of the fresh air introduced from
the outside is determined by the outdoor environment, the water of the heat pump water
module passes through the second surface cooler of the air processing assembly, it
is able to dehumidify the fresh air introduced from the outside in all indoor spaces
by controlling a temperature of exiting water of the heat pump water module.
[0106] Fig. 9 is a schematic view showing a case where the cold/heat source is the heat
pump water module. The heat pump water module includes, but not limited to, a heat
pump 901, a water pipe 902, a water valve 903, a buffer tank 904 and a pump 905. The
exiting water of the heat pump 901 enters the second surface cooler 1064 of the air
processing assembly through the water pipe 902, and exchanges heat with the fresh
air introduced from the outside in all indoor spaces through the second surface cooler
1064, to dehumidify the fresh air. The exiting water enters the first surface cooler
10221 in each indoor space through the water pipe 902, and exchanges heat with the
air in each indoor space through the first surface cooler 10221 to obtain cold or
hot air, thereby to realize cooling or heating of each indoor space. The water valve
903 is provided before the first surface cooler 10221, so as to control a water circuit
to be in an on or off state. After passing through the first surface cooler 10221,
the exiting water enters the buffer tank 904, and then returns to the heat pump through
the pump 905.
[0107] In a possible embodiment of the present application, a differential pressure bypass
valve 906 is provided after the air processing assembly and before the buffer tank
904, so as to prevent a flow capacity of the exiting water from being too small.
[0108] In a possible embodiment of the present application, an energy storage device 907
is added to the heat pump water module to form a heat pump water module having a closed-type
energy storage function or an open-type energy storage function. Fig. 10 is a schematic
view showing the heat pump water module having the closed-type energy storage function.
Fig. 11 is a schematic view showing the heat pump water module having the open-type
energy storage function. The heat pump water module having the open-type energy storage
function further includes a plate heat exchanger 908.
[0109] To be specific, (1) when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool
each indoor space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains a target room
humidity ratio of each indoor space through the controller. (2) When the target room
humidity ratio of each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system performs calculation processing based on the target room humidity ratio and
a preset cooling humidity ratio formula through the controller, to obtain a target
humidity ratio of cooling supply air for each indoor space. (3) Under a pre-set condition,
the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual humidity ratio of the
cooling supply air in each indoor space and the temperature of the exiting water of
the heat pump water module through the controller. The pre-set condition is used to
indicate that an enthalpy value and air volume of the fresh air introduced from the
outside is a fixed value. (4) When the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply
air in each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
controls the heat pump water module to maintain, decrease or increase, at a first
preset ratio, the temperature of the exiting water through the controller based on
the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air and the target humidity ratio
of the cooling supply air, so as to enable the actual humidity ratio of the cooling
supply air to be less than or equal to the target humidity ratio of the cooling supply
air.
[0110] It should be appreciated that the target room humidity ratio is calculated based
on a target room temperature, a target room relative humidity and the psychrometric
chart.
[0111] The preset cooling humidity ratio formula is
dtarget for cooling supply air =
dtarget for room - Δ
dcooling ,
dtarget for cooling supply air represents the target humidity ratio of the cooling supply air,
dtarget for room represents the target room humidity ratio, and Δ
dcooling represents a positive value of an adjustable offset. A specific positive value of
the adjustable offset may be set according to an actual application scenario. By way
of non-limiting examples, the positive value of the adjustable offset may be 0.5g/kg
or 0.6g/kg.
[0112] For example, when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool each indoor
space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains a target room humidity
ratio
dtarget for room of each indoor space through the controller. When
dtarget for room of each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system performs
calculation processing based on
dtarget for room and the preset cooling humidity ratio formula
dtarget for cooling supply air =
dtarget for room - Δ
dcooling through the controller, to obtain a target humidity ratio of cooling supply air
dtarget for cooling supply air for each indoor space. Under a pre-set condition, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system obtains an actual humidity ratio
dactual for cooling supply air of the cooling supply air in each indoor space and a temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water of the heat pump water module through the controller. The pre-set
condition is used to indicate that an enthalpy value and air volume of the fresh air
introduced from the outside is a fixed value. When
dactual for cooling supply air in each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls
the heat pump water module to maintain, decrease or increase, at the first preset
ratio, the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller based on
dactual for cooling supply air and
dtarget for cooling supply air, so that the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air is less than or equal
to the target humidity ratio of the cooling supply air. In specific, when
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air ≥
dfirst preset threshold,where
dfirst preset threshold represents a first preset threshold, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
controls the heat pump water module to decrease, at the first preset ratio, the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller. The first preset threshold may be set
according to an actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the
first preset threshold may be 0.5g/kg or 0.6g/kg. The first preset ratio is configured
to represent a ratio of a preset temperature to the first preset threshold. The preset
temperature may be set according to an actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting
examples, the preset temperature may be 1°C or 2°C. For another example, the first
preset threshold value is 0.5g/kg, the preset temperature is 1°C, and thereby the
first preset ratio is 1°C:0.5g/kg. When
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air ≥ 0.5g/kg , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the heat pump water
module to decrease the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller by 1°C. On the basis of the above examples,
when
dactual for cooling supply air - dtarget for cooling supply air ≤
-dfirst preset threshold , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the heat pump water module
to increase, at the first preset ratio, the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller. That is, when
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air ≤ -0.5g/kg, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the heat pump water
module to increase the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller by 1°C. When |
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air \ ≤
dfirst preset threshold , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the heat pump water module
to maintain the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller. That is, when |
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air| ≤ 0.5g/kg, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the heat pump water
module to maintain the temperature
Toutlet of the exiting water through the controller.
[0113] In a possible embodiment of the present application, (1) when the target room humidity
ratio of each indoor space is not the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
determines a minimum target room humidity ratio among target room humidity ratios
of indoor spaces as a candidate target room humidity ratio through the controller.
(2) The ground-embedded air-conditioning system performs calculation processing based
on the candidate target room humidity ratio and the preset cooling humidity ratio
formula through the controller, to obtain a target humidity ratio of cooling supply
air for each indoor space. (3) Under a pre-set condition, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system obtains an actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air in each indoor space
and the temperature of the exiting water of the heat pump water module through the
controller. The pre-set condition is used to indicate that an enthalpy value and air
volume of the fresh air introduced from the outside is a fixed value. (4) When the
actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air in each indoor space is not the same,
the ground-embedded air conditioning system determines a minimum actual humidity ratio
of the cooling supply air among actual humidity ratios of the cooling supply air in
the indoor spaces as a candidate actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air through
the controller. (5) The ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the heat
pump water module to maintain, decrease or increase, at the first preset ratio, the
temperature of the exiting water through the controller based on the candidate actual
humidity ratio of the cooling supply air and the target humidity ratio of the cooling
supply air, so as to enable the candidate actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply
air to be less than or equal to the target humidity ratio of the cooling supply air.
[0114] It should be appreciated that, when the target room humidity ratio of each indoor
space is not the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system determines, in
accordance with a worst-case parameter control manner, the minimum target room humidity
ratio among the target room humidity ratios of the indoor spaces as the candidate
target room humidity ratio through the controller. When the actual humidity ratio
of the cooling supply air in each indoor space is not the same, the ground-embedded
air conditioning system determines, in accordance with the worst-case parameter control
manner, the minimum actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air among the actual
humidity ratios of the cooling supply air in the indoor spaces as the candidate actual
humidity ratio of the cooling supply air through the controller.
[0115] In a possible embodiment of the present application, the cold/heat source is the
fluorine machine module. Since the humidity ratio of the fresh air introduced from
the outside is determined by the outdoor environment, a refrigerant of the fluorine
machine module passes through the second surface cooler of the air processing assembly,
it is able to dehumidify the fresh air introduced from the outside in each indoor
space by controlling a frequency of an inverter compressor in the fluorine machine
module.
[0116] Fig. 12 is a schematic view showing the fluorine machine module for refrigerating.
The fluorine machine module includes, but not limited to, a Freon compressor 1201,
an oil separator 1202, an oil return capillary 1203, a heat exchanger 1204, an electronic
valve 1205, a one-way valve 1206, a gas-liquid separator 1207, a four-way valve 1208
and a throttling electronic expansion valve 1209. When refrigerating, the refrigerant
passes through the Freon compressor 1201 to do work, to obtain a high-temperature
and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous
refrigerant enters the oil separator 1202, to separate a refrigeration oil and trace
refrigerant. The refrigeration oil and trace refrigerant pass through the oil return
capillary 1203 for depressurization and throttling, and then return to the Freon compressor
1201, thereby ensuring the safety of oil return. The high-temperature and high-pressure
gaseous refrigerant passing through the oil separator 1202 enters the heat exchanger
1204 through the four-way valve 1208, to obtain a medium-temperature and high-pressure
liquid. The medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid passes through the electronic
valve 1205 and the one-way valve 1206, and enters the throttling electronic expansion
valve 1209 for throttling, to obtain a low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant.
The low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant enters the second surface
cooler 1064, to exchange heat with the fresh air introduced from the outside for all
indoor spaces through the second surface cooler 1064, thereby to dehumidify the fresh
air. At the same time, the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant enters
the first surface cooler 10221 in each indoor space, to exchange heat with the air
in each indoor space through the first surface cooler 10221, thereby to obtain the
cold air and realize the cooling of each indoor space. The throttling electronic expansion
valve 1209 is arranged before the first surface cooler 10221 and the second surface
cooler 1064 which are installed in parallel. The electronic valve 1205 is fully open.
After passing through the first surface cooler 10221 and the second surface cooler
1064, the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant passes through the
four-way valve 1208, and then passes through the gas-liquid separator 1207, and returns
to the Freon compressor 1201.
[0117] Fig. 13 is a schematic view showing the fluorine machine module for heating. During
the heating, the refrigerant passes through the Freon compressor 1201 to do work,
to obtain a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature
and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the oil separator 1202, to separate a
refrigeration oil and trace refrigerant. The refrigeration oil and trace refrigerant
pass through the oil return capillary 1203 for depressurization and throttling, and
then return to the Freon compressor 1201, thereby ensuring the safety of oil return.
The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant passing through the oil
separator 1202 enters the second surface cooler 1064 through the four-way valve 1208.
At the same time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters
the first surface cooler 10221 in each indoor space, to exchange heat with the air
in each indoor space through the first surface cooler 10221, thereby to obtain heated
air and realize the heating of each indoor space. The high-temperature and high-pressure
gaseous refrigerant passes through the first surface cooler 10221 and the second surface
cooler 1064, to obtain a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant. The medium-temperature
and high-pressure refrigerant passes through the throttling electronic expansion valve
1209, enters the electronic valve 1205 for throttling, and then passes through the
heat exchanger 1204 for heat exchange, to obtain a low-pressure and low-temperature
gaseous refrigerant. The low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant passes
through the four-way valve 1208, and then passes through the gas-liquid separator
1207, and returns to the Freon compressor 1201.
[0118] To be specific, (1) when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool
each indoor space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains a target room
humidity ratio of each indoor space through the controller. (2) When the target room
humidity ratio of each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system performs calculation processing based on the target room humidity ratio and
a preset cooling humidity ratio formula through the controller, to obtain a target
humidity ratio of cooling supply air for each indoor space. (3) Under a pre-set condition,
the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual humidity ratio of the
cooling supply air in each indoor space and the frequency of the inverter compressor
of fluorine machine module through the controller. The pre-set condition is used to
indicate that an enthalpy value and air volume of the fresh air introduced from the
outside is a fixed value. (4) When the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply
air in each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
controls the fluorine machine module to maintain, decrease or increase, at a second
preset ratio, the frequency of the inverter compressor through the controller based
on the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air and the target humidity ratio
of the cooling supply air, so as to enable the actual humidity ratio of the cooling
supply air to be less than or equal to the target humidity ratio of the cooling supply
air.
[0119] For example, when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool each indoor
space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains a target room humidity
ratio
dtarget for room of each indoor space through the controller. When
dtarget for room of each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system performs
calculation processing based on
dtarget for room and the preset cooling humidity ratio formula
dtarget for cooling supply air =
dtarget for room - Δ
dcooling through the controller, to obtain a target humidity ratio of cooling supply air
dtarget for cooling supply air for each indoor space. Under a pre-set condition, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system obtains an actual humidity ratio
dactual for cooling supply air of the cooling supply air in each indoor space and the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor in the fluorine machine module through the controller.
The pre-set condition is used to indicate that the enthalpy value and air volume of
the fresh air introduced from the outside is a fixed value. When
dactual for cooling supply air in each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls
the fluorine machine module to maintain, reduce or increase, at the second preset
ratio, the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller based on
dactual for cooling supply air and
dtarget for cooling supply air, so that the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air is less than or equal
to the target humidity ratio of the cooling supply air. To be specific, when
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air ≥
dsecond preset threshold , where d
second preset threshold represents a second preset threshold, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
controls the fluorine machine module to reduce, at the second preset ratio, the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller. The second preset threshold may
be set according to an actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting examples,
the second preset threshold may be 0.5g/kg or 0.6g/kg. The second preset ratio is
configured to represent a ratio of a preset frequency to the second preset threshold.
The preset frequency may be set according to an actual application scenario. By way
of non-limiting examples, the preset frequency may be 1Hz or 2Hz. For another example,
the second preset threshold value is 0.5g/kg, the preset frequency is 1Hz, and thereby
the second preset ratio is 1Hz:0.5g/kg. When
dactual for cooling supply air - dtarget for cooling supply air ≥ 0.5g/kg, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fluorine machine
module to reduce the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller by 1Hz. On the basis of the above
examples, when
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air ≤
-dsecond preset threshold , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fluorine machine module
to increase, at the second preset ratio, the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller. That is, when
dactual for cooling supply air - dtarget for cooling supply air ≤ -0.5g/kg , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fluorine machine
module to increase the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller by 1Hz. When |
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air| ≤
dsecond preset threshold , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fluorine machine module
to maintain the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller. That is, when |
dactual for cooling supply air -
dtarget for cooling supply air \ ≤ 0.5g/kg , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the fluorine machine
module to maintain the frequency
Fn of the inverter compressor through the controller.
[0120] In a possible embodiment of the present application, (1) when the target room humidity
ratio of each indoor space is not the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
determines a minimum target room humidity ratio among target room humidity ratios
of indoor spaces as a candidate target room humidity ratio through the controller.
(2) The ground-embedded air-conditioning system performs calculation processing based
on the candidate target room humidity ratio and the preset cooling humidity ratio
formula through the controller, to obtain a target humidity ratio of cooling supply
air for each indoor space. (3) Under a pre-set condition, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system obtains an actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air in each indoor space
and the frequency of the inverter compressor of the fluorine machine module through
the controller. The pre-set condition is used to indicate that the enthalpy value
and air volume of the fresh air introduced from the outside is a fixed value. (4)
When the actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air in each indoor space is not
the same, the ground-embedded air conditioning system determines a minimum actual
humidity ratio of the cooling supply air among actual humidity ratios of the cooling
supply air in the indoor spaces as a candidate actual humidity ratio of the cooling
supply air through the controller. (5) The ground-embedded air-conditioning system
controls the fluorine machine module to maintain, reduce or increase, at the second
preset ratio, the frequency of the inverter compressor through the controller based
on the candidate actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air and the target humidity
ratio of the cooling supply air, so as to enable the candidate actual humidity ratio
of the cooling supply air to be less than or equal to the target humidity ratio of
the cooling supply air.
[0121] It should be appreciated that, when the target room humidity ratio of each indoor
space is not the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system determines, in
accordance with a worst-case parameter control manner, the minimum target room humidity
ratio among the target room humidity ratios of the indoor spaces as the candidate
target room humidity ratio through the controller. When the actual humidity ratio
of the cooling supply air in each indoor space is not the same, the ground-embedded
air conditioning system determines, in accordance with the worst-case parameter control
manner, the minimum actual humidity ratio of the cooling supply air among the actual
humidity ratios of the cooling supply air in the indoor spaces as the candidate actual
humidity ratio of the cooling supply air through the controller.
[0122] In a possible embodiment of the present application, in the case that the mode control
instruction is used to instruct to heat each indoor space, the air processing assembly
is controlled through the controller to humidify the fresh air introduced from the
outside of each indoor space.
[0123] To be specific, (1) when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to heat
each indoor space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains a target room
humidity ratio of each indoor space through the controller. (2) When the target room
humidity ratio of each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system performs calculation processing based on the target room humidity ratio and
a preset heating humidity ratio formula through the controller, to obtain a target
humidity ratio of heating supply air for each indoor space. (3) Under a pre-set condition,
the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual humidity ratio of the
heating supply air in each indoor space through the controller. The pre-set condition
is used to indicate that the enthalpy value and air volume of the fresh air introduced
from the outside is a fixed value. (4) When the actual humidity ratio of the heating
supply air in each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system controls the humidification module in the air processing assembly to perform
adjusting at a third preset ratio based on the actual humidity ratio of the heating
supply air and the target humidity ratio of the heating supply air, so as to enable
the actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air to be greater than the target
humidity ratio of the heating supply air.
[0124] The preset heating humidity ratio formula is
dtarget for heating supply air =
dtarget for room - Δ
dheating ,
dtarget for heating supply air represents the target humidity ratio of the heating supply air,
dtarget for room represents the target room humidity ratio, and Δ
dheating represents a positive value of an adjustable offset. A specific positive value of
the adjustable offset may be set according to an actual application scenario. By way
of non-limiting examples, the positive value of the adjustable offset may be 0.5g/kg
or 0.6g/kg.
[0125] For example, when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to heat each indoor
space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains a target room humidity
ratio
dtarget for room of each indoor space through the controller. When
dtarget for room of each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system performs
calculation processing based on
dtarget for room and the preset heating humidity ratio formula
dtarget for heating supply air =
dtarget for room - Δ
dheating through the controller, to obtain a target humidity ratio of heating supply air
dtarget for heating supply air for each indoor space. Under a pre-set condition, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system obtains an actual humidity ratio
dactual for heating supply air of the heating supply air in each indoor space through the controller. The pre-set
condition is used to indicate that the enthalpy value and air volume of the fresh
air introduced from the outside is a fixed value. When
dactual for heating supply air in each indoor space is the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls
the humidification module in the air processing assembly to perform adjusting at the
third preset ratio through the controller based on
dactual for heating supply air and
dtarget for heating supply air, so as to enable the actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air to be greater
than the target humidity ratio of the heating supply air. The third preset threshold
may be set according to an actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting examples,
the third preset threshold may be 30% or 40%. It should be appreciated that the higher
the third preset ratio, the higher the humidification degree. A difference between
the actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air and the target humidity ratio
of the heating supply air is less than or equal to a heating humidification offset.
The specific heating humidification offset may be set according to the actual application
scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the heating humidification offset is a
positive value less than 1g/kg.
[0126] In a possible embodiment of the present application, (1) when the target room humidity
ratio of each indoor space is not the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system
determines a minimum target room humidity ratio among target room humidity ratios
of the indoor spaces as a candidate target room humidity ratio through the controller.
(2) The ground-embedded air-conditioning system performs calculation processing based
on the candidate target room humidity ratio and the preset heating humidity ratio
formula through the controller, to obtain a target humidity ratio of heating supply
air for each indoor space. (3) Under a pre-set condition, the ground-embedded air-conditioning
system obtains an actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air in each indoor space
through the controller. The pre-set condition is used to indicate that the enthalpy
value and air volume of the fresh air introduced from the outside is a fixed value.
(4) When the actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air in each indoor space
is not the same, the ground-embedded air conditioning system determines a minimum
actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air among actual humidity ratios of the
heating supply air in the indoor spaces as a candidate actual humidity ratio of the
heating supply air through the controller. (5) The ground-embedded air-conditioning
system controls the humidification module in the air processing assembly to perform
adjusting at the third preset ratio based on the candidate actual humidity ratio of
the heating supply air and the target humidity ratio of the heating supply air, so
as to enable the candidate actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air to be greater
than the target humidity ratio of the heating supply air.
[0127] It should be appreciated that, when the target room humidity ratio of each indoor
space is not the same, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system determines, in
accordance with a worst-case parameter control manner, the minimum target room humidity
ratio among the target room humidity ratios of the indoor spaces as the candidate
target room humidity ratio through the controller. When the actual humidity ratio
of the heating supply air in each indoor space is not the same, the ground-embedded
air conditioning system determines, in accordance with the worst-case parameter control
manner, the minimum actual humidity ratio of the heating supply air among the actual
humidity ratios of the heating supply air in the indoor spaces as the candidate actual
humidity ratio of the heating supply air through the controller.
[0128] In a possible embodiment of the present application, in the case that the mode control
instruction is used to instruct to cool each indoor space, the air supply module is
controlled by the controller to perform output adjusting, so as to adjust the cooling
of each indoor space.
[0129] To be specific, (1) when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool
each indoor space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual room
temperature and a target room temperature of each indoor space through the controller.
(2) When the actual room temperature of each indoor space is greater than the corresponding
target room temperature, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the
air supply module to increase the output at a first preset fan ratio through the controller,
so as to enable the actual room temperature of each indoor space to be equal to the
corresponding target room temperature. (3) When the actual room temperature of each
indoor space is less than the corresponding target room temperature, the ground-embedded
air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to reduce the output at the
first preset fan ratio through the controller, so as to enable the actual room temperature
of each indoor space to be equal to the corresponding target room temperature. (4)
When an absolute difference between the actual room temperature of each indoor space
and the corresponding target room temperature is less than or equal to a first preset
value, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module
through the controller to maintain a current fan output ratio.
[0130] For example, when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to cool each indoor
space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual room temperature
Tactual room temperature and a target room temperature
Ttarget room temperature of each indoor space through the controller. In the case that the actual room temperature
of each indoor space is greater than the corresponding target
room temperature, and
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature ≥
Tfirst preset value, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to increase
the output at the first preset fan ratio through the controller.
Tfirst preset value represents the first preset value, which may be set according to an actual application
scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the first preset value may be 0.5°C or
0.6°C. The first preset fan ratio is used to represent a ratio of a first preset percentage
to the first preset value. The first preset percentage may be set according to the
actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the first preset percentage
may be 5% or 6%. For another example, the first preset value is 0.5°C, the first preset
percentage is 5%, and the first preset fan ratio is 5%:0.5°C. When
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature ≥ 0.5°
C , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to increase
the output at 5% through the controller, so as to enable the actual room temperature
of each indoor space to be equal to the corresponding target room temperature. On
the basis of the above examples, in the case that the actual room temperature of each
indoor space is less than the corresponding target room temperature, and
Tactual room temperature - Ttarget room temperature ≤
-Tfirst preset value, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to reduce
the output at the first preset fan ratio through the controller. For example, when
Tactual room temperature - Ttarget room temperature ≤ -0.5°
C , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to reduce
the output at 5% through the controller, so as to enable the actual room temperature
of each indoor space to be equal to the corresponding target room temperature. When
the absolute difference between the actual room temperature of each indoor space and
the corresponding target room temperature is less than or equal to the first preset
value, i.e., |
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature | ≤
Tfirst preset value , e.g., |
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature | ≤ -0.5°
C, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module through
the controller to maintain the current fan output ratio.
[0131] In a possible embodiment of the present application, in the case that the mode control
instruction is used to instruct to heat each indoor space, the air supply module is
controlled by the controller to perform output adjusting, so as to adjust the heating
of each indoor space.
[0132] To be specific, (1) when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to heat
each indoor space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual room
temperature and a target room temperature of each indoor space through the controller.
(2) When the actual room temperature of each indoor space is greater than the corresponding
target room temperature, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the
air supply module to reduce the output at a second preset fan ratio through the controller,
so as to enable the actual room temperature of each indoor space to be equal to the
corresponding target room temperature. (3) When the actual room temperature of each
indoor space is less than the corresponding target room temperature, the ground-embedded
air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to increase the output at the
second preset fan ratio through the controller, so as to enable the actual room temperature
of each indoor space to be equal to the corresponding target room temperature. (4)
When an absolute difference between the actual room temperature of each indoor space
and the corresponding target room temperature is less than or equal to a second preset
value, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module
through the controller to maintain the current fan output ratio.
[0133] For example, when the mode control instruction is used to instruct to heat each indoor
space, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system obtains an actual room temperature
Tactual room temperature and a target room temperature
Ttarget room temperature of each indoor space through the controller. In the case that the actual room temperature
of each indoor space is greater than the corresponding target room temperature, and
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature ≥
Tsecond preset value, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to reduce
the output at the second preset fan ratio through the controller.
Tsecond preset value represents the second preset value, which may be set according to an actual application
scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the second preset value may be 0.5°C or
0.6°C. The second preset fan ratio is used to represent a ratio of a second preset
percentage to the second preset value. The second preset percentage may be set according
to an actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the second preset
percentage may be 5% or 6%. For another example, the second preset value is 0.5°C,
the second preset percentage is 5%, and the second preset fan ratio is 5%:0.5°C. When
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature ≥ 0.5°C, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module
to reduce the output at 5% through the controller, so as to enable the actual room
temperature of each indoor space to be equal to the corresponding target room temperature.
On the basis of the above examples, in the case that the actual room temperature of
each indoor space is less than the corresponding target room temperature, and
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature ≤
-Tsecond preset value , the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to increase
the output at the second preset fan ratio through the controller. For example, when
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature ≤ -0.5°
C, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module to increase
the output at 5% through the controller, so as to enable the actual room temperature
of each indoor space to be equal to the corresponding target room temperature. When
the absolute difference between the actual room temperature of each indoor space and
the corresponding target room temperature is less than or equal to the second preset
value, i.e., |
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature | ≤
Tsecond preset value , e.g., |
Tactual room temperature -
Ttarget room temperature | ≤ -0.5°
C, the ground-embedded air-conditioning system controls the air supply module through
the controller to maintain the current fan output ratio.
[0134] In a possible embodiment of the present application, in the case that the ground-embedded
air-conditioning system is in a mute or night-dormant mode, the current fan output
ratio is set to a minimum fan output ratio. The minimum fan output ratio may be set
according to an actual application scenario. By way of non-limiting examples, the
minimum fan output ratio is less than or equal to 30%. For the heat pump water module,
the water valve at the first surface cooler is turned off, and for the fluorine machine
module, the throttling electronic expansion valve at the first surface cooler is turned
off.
[0135] In a possible embodiment of the present application, in the case that a concentration
of carbon dioxide in each indoor space is greater than or equal to a preset concentration,
the first fresh air damper is controlled by the controller to perform adjusting at
a fourth preset ratio and the second fresh air damper is controlled by the controller
to perform adjusting at a fifth preset ratio, and exhaust module is controlled by
the controller to perform exhaust operation for a preset time period, so as to enable
the concentration of carbon dioxide in each indoor space to be less than the preset
concentration.
[0136] The fourth preset ratio may be set according to an actual application scenario. By
way of non-limiting examples, the fourth preset ratio may be 20% or 30%.
[0137] The fifth preset ratio may be set according to an actual application scenario. By
way of non-limiting examples, the fifth preset ratio may be 30% or 40%.
[0138] It should be appreciated that, the higher the fourth preset ratio and the fifth preset
ratio, the greater the volume of the fresh air passing through the first fresh air
damper and the second fresh air damper.
[0139] The preset time period may be set according to an actual application scenario. By
way of non-limiting examples, the preset duration may be two or three minutes.
[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller controls the cold/heat
source to provide the cold or heat source to the fan-coil assembly at the return vent,
and the fan-coil assembly at the supply vent is controlled by the controller to drive
the air in the indoor space into the fan-coil assembly at the return vent for heat
exchange. Next, the air passes through the empty floor space layer and the fan-coil
assembly at the supply vent sequentially, and then enters the indoor space, it is
able to improve the heat transfer efficiency and cooling efficiency of the floor surface,
and realize the cooling or heating cycle of the indoor space, thereby to improve the
efficiency of cooling and heating.
