Air conditioning system and air conditioning control method
Abstract
An air conditioning system includes a main pipe, a first area pipe, a second area pipe, and a controller. The main pipe includes a storage tank, a water supply pipe, and a water return pipe connected in series. The main pipe is further connected with a variable-frequency pump in series. The first area pipe is further connected with a first electric valve and a first calorimeter in series. The first calorimeter detects and transmits first dynamic thermal information. The second area pipe is further connected with a second electric valve and a second calorimeter in series. The second calorimeter detects and transmits second dynamic thermal information. The controller receives the first dynamic thermal information and the second dynamic thermal information and correspondingly controls the variable-frequency pump to dynamically operate, or correspondingly controls the first electric valve and the second electric valve to dynamically adjust the flow rate.
