If outdoor temperature is enough low, then the outdoor parts of the outdoor unit 104 of HVAC system 100 is as the coil pipe of outdoor heat exchanger 114 can form ice or frost.In order to the formation of the ice that prevents or reduce on the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 or frost, HVAC system 100 can enter defrosting mode, wherein makes HVAC system 100 heat the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 by entering refrigerating mode.Also namely, the flow direction of cold-producing medium is heat region (as region 206,208,212,214 and 216) removing indoor, and is passed to the part of the possible frosting of outdoor unit 104.Such as, heat indoor region removes and is passed to the outdoor heat exchanger 114 of outdoor unit 104, freezes condensate to melt all that outdoor heat exchanger 114 accumulates.When defrosting mode startup can to the air auxiliary heating being supplied to room area, to prevent when needing to provide warm air, the air of supply becomes the cold of uncomfortable degree.
Multiple different parameter all can cause and enters defrosting mode, as power or the electric current of the temperature of ambient air temperature, outdoor heat exchanger 114, ambient air temperature and the difference (can be referred to as Δ T) of outdoor heat exchanger 114 temperature, the air-pressure drop flowing through outdoor heat exchanger 114, pressure of inspiration(Pi) and/or outdoor fan 118.Defrosting mode can stop based on outdoor heat exchanger 114 temperature threshold or other relevant parameter.
Such defrosting mode generally enough removings is frozen in the frost that outdoor heat exchanger 114 is formed because of vapor in the atmosphere.But, sometimes outdoor heat exchanger 114 gathers thicker ice, then needed extra defrosting.High especially or low especially Δ T then illustrates and belongs to these situations.When display is frozen thicker, then can enter time defrosting pattern, run defrosting mode first predetermined amount of time under this pattern, stop the second predetermined amount of time, and again run first time period.Start and stop the sustainable predetermined loop number of this timing cycle of defrosting mode, or the termination when icing minimizing on display room external heat exchanger 114.
In some cases, the parts of outdoor unit 104 or the miscellaneous part of HVAC system 100 freeze possibility extremely seriously.As ice storm can cause outdoor heat exchanger 114 to be wrapped up by thick ice sheet completely.The ice and for example melted to drop onto from roof outdoor heat exchanger 114 and freezes at this, causes forming ice bridge between outdoor fan 118 and the miscellaneous part of outdoor unit 104.Ice bridge can prevent the running of outdoor fan 118, thus may cause icing more serious.When this egregious cases occurs, time defrosting pattern may be not enough to removing and freeze, and all cannot remove until ice melts naturally.If instruction ice fully outdoor heat exchanger 114 remove, time defrosting pattern stops based on this instruction, then this instruction may extend time in also there will not be.Time defrosting pattern is basic within the above-mentioned time does not have continuous service in a effective manner.
Run in the time period extended or exit the miscellaneous part of defrost cycle to compressor 116 or HVAC system 100 and have infringement.In other words, heat pump, as the startup of the defrost cycle of HVAC system 100 or termination, understands the pressure of compressor 116 both sides of reversing instantaneously.When such reversion occurs, and in a period of time subsequently, compressor 116 can bear liquid refrigerant, and this can increase the pressure to compressor 116.In addition, oil viscosity is diluted, and bearing can be caused impaired.Further, liquid refrigerant is incompressible, and if liquid refrigerant enters the compressing mechanism of compressor 116, very high surge can be caused.Therefore do not wish to enter repeatedly and exit defrosting mode within the time period extended, especially when verbosely to run defrosting mode and unlikely remove enough ice to allow the operation returning heating mode.
In one embodiment, provide and determine when when ice accumulates too serious so that the technological means of repeatedly circulation timing defrosting mode also unlikely deicing fully on the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100.In an embodiment, HVAC system 100 is closed when above-mentioned situation occurs.As term used herein as " closedown " and similar term can refer to the operation preventing at least one HVAC system master unit, master unit refer to as compressor 116 or outdoor fan 118 etc. can because of repetitive cycling time defrosting pattern impaired parts.Some parts such as indoor fan, auxiliary heater, electronic processors or abnormity notifying system then can continue to operate in the down periods.Described by following more details, the technological means of closing HVAC system in extreme situation of freezing also can be used for the abnormal conditions of other types, but discussed herein mainly concentrates on the exception of freezing and causing.
One can be used for indicating on the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 and occurs that the parameter of too much ice sheet is the rate of change of Δ T, and the difference also namely between atmospheric temperature and the temperature of outdoor heat exchanger 114 changes how soon have.It is known that the rate of change of the Δ T of system in serious frosting situation normally run be about 0.002 degree per second.In heavy ice situation, air-flow may be there is no by outdoor heat exchanger 114.Under this situation, the rate of change of Δ T be about 0.040 degree per second, or be higher than the speed of 20 times during more situation typical.Therefore, in one embodiment, beyond the rate of change of the Δ T of predetermined threshold value, it is more serious than the situation that can be enough to remove in time defrosting pattern to can be used for indicating the ice sheet of the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100.
Can be used for indicating the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 to occur that other parameters of serious ice sheet comprise power or the electric current of air-pressure drop, pressure of inspiration(Pi) and/or the outdoor fan 118 flowing through outdoor heat exchanger 114.For these parameters any, equal definable threshold value, when exceeding this threshold value, the ice sheet then shown on the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 is seriously piled up, or display exists the abnormal conditions of some other types.
In another embodiment, time-based program can be used for indicating the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 to be covered by too many ice to such an extent as to the unlikely deicing fully of time defrosting pattern.More particularly, when heat pump starts heat cycles, with the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 only has little frost or frostless time compared with, when there is serious ice sheet, system typically can enter defrosting mode sooner.After heat cycles starts, system has the time point how soon entering defrosting mode therefore can be used as the instruction of the capped serious ice sheet of outdoor parts.When seriously piling up with which display ice, can shutdown system be preferably but not make system start the circulation repeatedly unlikely told on.
In one embodiment, be less than predefined time span after heat cycles starts, as 15 minutes, defrosting mode started, and can it can be used as the preliminary instruction outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 occurring thick ice sheet.Owing to may there is the reason that other start defrost cycle after the blink that heat cycles starts, before more definite instruction occurs, preferred a series of preliminary instruction like this occurs continuously.In one embodiment, continue namely to start add up there being how many times defrosting mode to be shorter than threshold time continuously after heat cycles starts.When statistics reaches pre-determined number, as continuous three times, at HVAC system Temporarily Closed predetermined amount of time as 15 minutes.Namely, at least one main outdoor parts such as compressor 116 or the outdoor fan 118 of system are not temporarily allowed to running yet.If not yet reach pre-determined number, and defrosting mode be after heat cycles starts be longer than threshold time start, pre-determined number is reset to 0.Which ensure that a series of preliminary instruction that ice is built up must be recurred, to determine the instruction more determined.
In some cases, Temporarily Closed can alleviate and makes defrosting mode after heat cycles starts, repeatedly be shorter than situation about starting in threshold time.Therefore, the outdoor parts of HVAC system 100 occurs the final instruction of excessive ice preferably carries out a series of such Temporarily Closed before presenting continuously.In one embodiment, continue to add up generation how many times Temporarily Closed.When statistics reaches pre-determined number, as continuous three Temporarily Closeds, there is excessive ice in the outdoor parts that can be defined as HVAC system 100 to such an extent as to further defrost cycle is unlikely effective finally indicates.
In this case, HVAC system 100 unlikely suitably works, and has therefore had no reason to continue operational system again.So in one embodiment, when Temporarily Closed number of times reaches the pre-determined number of closedown, HVAC system 100 closes to prevent the compression shock to compressor 116 and miscellaneous part in unfruitful defrosting completely.At least one main outdoor parts such as compressor 116 or the outdoor fan 118 of closing the anti-locking system of HVAC system 100 energy completely operate, until the ice gathered removes to form a typical level of significance fully in defrosting mode.The owner of HVAC system 100 or operator carry out deicing by technical staff, naturally thawing or some other modes.If abnormal conditions are by other reasons but not gathering of ice causes, then needed to alleviate this abnormal conditions before HVAC system 100 is allowed to restart.In one embodiment, HVAC system 100 can provide some to indicate, and it is self-locked, thus needs request technology personnel or takes some other means to alleviate abnormal conditions.

After first rolling counters forward increase of frame 340, in frame 350, determine whether the first rolling counters forward equals 3.Also namely, determine whether that continuous three defrosting modes are less than startup in 15 minutes after heat cycles starts.In other embodiments, the first counter can use other numerical value as pre-determined number.If the first rolling counters forward is not equal to 3, program returns frame 310, and record heat cycles starts and defrost cycle start between the additional values of time.If the first rolling counters forward equals 3, in frame 360, HVAC system closes 15 minutes.In other embodiments, Temporarily Closed can use the time of other length.
In frame 370, after Temporarily Closed terminates, the second counter continues record and adds how many times Temporarily Closed.First counter resets to 0 thus it prepares to start to record how many times and reach timer threshold.Alternately, the program of frame 370 can occur before the program of frame 360.At frame 380, determine whether the second rolling counters forward equals 3, to represent that there occurs continuous three times closes.In other embodiments, the second counter can use other numerical value as pre-determined number.If the second rolling counters forward is not equal to 3, program returns frame 310, and record heat cycles starts and defrost cycle start between the additional values of time.
If the second rolling counters forward equals 3, then close representative heat pattern and the refrigerating mode of HVAC system completely at frame 390.Also namely running will may be completely no longer allowed to by least one main outdoor parts of impaired HVAC system 100 such as compressor 116 or outdoor fan 118 because of lasting use.Some parts such as indoor fan or auxiliary heater can be allowed to remain in operation.HVAC system 100 may not be allowed to reenter representative heat pattern or refrigerating mode, until technical staff repairs problem or adopt other programs to alleviate abnormal conditions.
In other embodiments, when there are other main abnormal situations, as Δ T high rate of change, flow through outdoor unit air-flow because of ice sheet gather outside the low or outdoor fan 118 of the loss of reason, the loss of cold-producing medium, pressure of inspiration(Pi) abnormal etc., a similar bolt down procedure can be adopted to close HVAC system 100.In these embodiments, the program in the frame 310,320 and 330 in Fig. 3 can be replaced by the detection of relevant abnormalities situation.Program remaining in Fig. 3 can continue to perform, wherein when continuous several times detects abnormal conditions, and HVAC system 100 Temporarily Closed, the read-around ratio of counter records system Temporarily Closed, and repeatedly continuously after Temporarily Closed, system is closed completely.Also namely, the parts that may damage because of the lasting permission running of system is stoped, until abnormal conditions alleviate.
As an example, if Δ T rate of change exceedes predefined threshold value in the pre-determined number that continuous print is measured, HVAC system 100 can Temporarily Closed.If pre-determined number appears in continuous print Temporarily Closed, then can close HVAC system completely.
