    摘要: For controlling opening (B2) of a valve in an HVAC system to regulate the fluid flow through a thermal energy exchanger and adjust power transfer of the thermal energy exchanger, a control system sets (S6) a control signal for the valve to different setpoints and records (S1) a plurality of data points. Each data point includes for a certain setpoint operating data values related to the power transfer effectuated by the thermal energy exchanger with the control signal set to the certain setpoint. The control system determines (S2) a fitting curve for the data points and determines (S3) a transformation which transforms the fitting curve into a transformed curve having a given target shape. The control system controls (B2) the opening of the valve by transforming (S5) the setpoint to a transformed setpoint, using the transformation, and setting (S6) the control signal for the valve to the transformed setpoint.

    摘要: An energy efficient heat pump for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a compressor system configured to direct a working fluid flow along a working fluid circuit of the energy efficient heat pump. The compressor system includes a first compressor configured to direct the working fluid flow in a first direction along the working fluid circuit and a second compressor configured to direct the working fluid flow in a second direction along the working fluid circuit, opposite the first direction. The energy efficient heat pump also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the first compressor and the second compressor, where the controller is configured to operate the first compressor and suspend operation of the second compressor in a cooling mode of the energy efficient heat pump and to operate the second compressor and suspend operation of the first compressor in a heating mode of the energy efficient heat pump.

    摘要: An air conditioner is provided that may include an outdoor unit provided with a compressor; a plurality of indoor units connected to the outdoor unit, each having an indoor heat exchanger, and each disposed in a different space; a low pressure pipe that connects the indoor heat exchanger and the compressor and in which low pressure gaseous refrigerant flows; a switching device provided with a low pressure valve disposed between the indoor heat exchanger and the low pressure pipe; an indoor temperature sensor that measures a temperature of a space in which an indoor unit of the respective indoor unit is disposed; and a controller that is electrically connected to the indoor temperature sensor and adjusts an opening degree of the low pressure valve. The controller may adjust the opening degree of the low pressure valve based on a difference between a value measured by the indoor temperature sensor and a previously input set temperature. By increasing an evaporation pressure in the indoor unit, noise from the air conditioner may be suppressed or prevented and comfort improved.

    摘要: A shut-off valve control device for a refrigeration cycle includes: a leakage detection unit configured to detect leakage of a refrigerant in a refrigeration cycle including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit; a shut-off valve which is disposed in a pipe that connects the indoor unit with the outdoor unit and which can be opened and closed by supplying electric power; a power failure detection unit configured to detect a power failure; a backup power supply configured to be capable of alternatively supplying power; and a shut-off valve control circuit configured to control the shut-off valve to be closed when the leakage detection unit detects leakage of the refrigerant. The shut-off valve control circuit causes the backup power supply to be started when the power failure detection unit detects a power failure and closes the shut-off valve when the detected power failure exceeds a certain time period.
