The invention discloses a method for detecting the frosting state of a
heat exchanger through a temperature sensor and a
humidity sensor, the temperature sensor and the
humidity sensor are placed beside a coil
pipe and in the middle of a
heat exchanger fin, the temperature T and the
relative humidity H of the
heat exchanger fin are detected through the temperature sensor and the
humidity sensor, and unit heating
continuous operation time HCT is combined.The parameters are compared and analyzed with corresponding preset threshold parameters, wherein the preset thresholds include a temperature threshold T1, a temperature threshold T2, a temperature threshold T3, a humidity threshold H1, a humidity threshold H2, a heating
continuous operation time threshold HCT1 and a heating
continuous operation time threshold HCT2.The temperature and the
relative humidity of the heat exchanger fin are obtained in real time through the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor, and state analysis and prediction are conducted on the frosting condition of the heat exchanger.According to the method, the frosting condition of the heat exchanger of a
heat pump unit is accurately detected and predicted, areliable basis is provided for
defrosting and frosting prevention of the
heat pump unit, and the unit is prevented from entering invalid
defrosting or incomplete
defrosting.
