AbstractThe conveying energy consumption of the dynamic conveying equipment such as water pump occupies large proportion in the total energy consumption of the HVAC system. Generally, the operation mode of pump with variable frequency control is used in order to reduce the energy consumption. But for the reasons of the improper configuration and control method in the condition of multi-pumps variable frequency operation, not only the efficiency of the operation is lower with higher energy consumption, but the stability of the variable water volume system is also impacted.In the view of above problems, new variable frequency control strategies for the water pumps in HVAC system, which include constant-terminal-resistance-range control method and efficiency-based pump number switching control method, are presented in this paper. The water pumps can stay in a high efficiency condition with the combination of these two control methods. The characteristics and suitability of these two methods are presented by theory analysis and the control strategy is given in this paper.First of all, the characteristics of the variable frequency control is analyzed. The energy-conserving principles of the variable frequency control method is introduced and the available range of the variable frequency pump is researched. With study of factors in pipes and equipment, the lowest rotating ratio is defined and the optimal operating range of the variable frequency pumps is worked out by researching the equal efficiency curve. Combined with the calculating models of the pump performance, frequency converter and the motor, the calculating models of the total energy consumption and energy saving ratio is determined.According to the operation characteristics of the variable frequency pumps, a control method with constant terminal resistance is presented and considering the actual condition, the design value of the terminal resistance characteristic is determined.
