Problems solved by technology

However, during the use of the air cooler, when the temperature in the cold storage is low, the frost condensed on the surface of the air cooler cannot be effectively removed, and it will accumulate thicker and thicker on the surface of its fins. The frost layer increases the heat transfer resistance, causing the air cooler to change. The thermal performance is getting worse and worse, and timely and effective defrosting can ensure the stable operation of the refrigeration system and the constant storage temperature
[0003] At present, water defrosting methods, hot gas defrosting and electric defrosting are often used for defrosting, but water defrosting is inconvenient to use in low-temperature cold storage, that is, it consumes a lot of water resources, and it is easy to cause ice blockage in flushing drains, hot gas defrosting and electrical defrosting. Electric defrosting is to transfer heat to the air cooler to melt the frost. For the use of cold storage, the heat transferred to the storage needs to be discharged out of the storage through refrigeration in the later stage; most of the defrosting is basically based on statistics of running time and Temperature control or time control is the main method, that is, defrosting is forced to run for a certain period of time, and the length of defrosting time is controlled by setting a fixed time or using a temperature sensor. This control method is neither accurate nor energy-saving, and defrosting is very easy If the time is too long, the temperature of the air cooler will rise, the temperature of the storage room will fluctuate too much, or the defrosting will not be complete, and the air inlet of the air cooler will be blocked by frost. Therefore, effective and precise defrosting is a direct and effective means to reduce the energy consumption of the cold storage.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] When designing the on-demand defrosting in the air cooler, it needs to be determined according to the specific conditions of the air cooler. Since various types of air coolers have different entry points for defrosting, it needs to be determined according to the thickness of the frost layer, absorption The wind pressure in the wind hood, the temperature of the fin surface and the pressure in the air return pipe of the cooling fan are detected and the appropriate entry point and detection position are selected.

[0021] First, select a frost layer thickness threshold for the thickness of the frost layer that needs to be defrosted. When the thickness of the frost layer reaches the frost layer thickness threshold, the defrosting operation will start. The selection of the frost layer thickness threshold is 1 mm to 3 mm. After the test, the test data obtained are: ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an on-demand defrosting method for air coolers, comprising: S1, installing a thickness sensor, a wind pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a pressure sensor; S2, setting the frost layer thickness threshold, wind pressure threshold, temperature threshold, and pressure threshold ; S3, detecting the comparison between the real-time thickness of the frost layer and the frost layer thickness threshold, detecting the comparison between the real-time wind pressure and the wind pressure threshold, detecting the comparison between the real-time temperature and the temperature threshold, and detecting the comparison between the real-time pressure and the pressure threshold; S4, the real-time wind pressure is less than the wind pressure threshold , delay start; during the delay, at least one of the conditions of the real-time thickness greater than or equal to the frost thickness threshold, the real-time temperature greater than or equal to the temperature threshold and the real-time pressure less than or equal to the pressure threshold is met, start immediately; S5, the real-time temperature drops to temperature If at least two conditions of the threshold, the real-time thickness is 0 and the real-time pressure rises to the pressure threshold are met, then stop. Effectively control the refrigeration and defrosting cycle, save operating costs, and improve the economy of the cooling fan operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to an on-demand defrosting method for a cooling fan used in a cold storage. Background technique [0002] As a device for direct heat exchange between the refrigeration system and the cold storage, the cooling fan's heat transfer performance directly affects the normal and stable use of the cold storage. At this stage, heat exchanger manufacturers at home and abroad have basically solved the phenomenon of lower thermal conductivity caused by the lack of close contact between tubes and fins and oil pollution on the surface of fins by improving processing technology and upgrading manufacturing equipment. However, during the use of the air cooler, when the temperature in the cold storage is low, the frost condensed on the surface of the air cooler cannot be effectively removed, and it will accumulate thicker and thicker on the surface of its fins. The frost layer increases the he...
