本研究將間接蒸發式冷卻模組應用於VRF系統進行實驗分析,藉由實驗數據結果,進而比較間接蒸發式冷卻與氣冷式之間的性能與節能量,以及探討於外氣溫度28 ℃、31 ℃、34 ℃與37 ℃條件下實驗與模擬之誤差值。於模擬部份,利用數學建模方式將熱交換器模型、壓縮機性能迴歸方程式、蒸發器與膨脹閥模型等,以Excel內建之VBA撰寫蒸發式冷卻系統熱傳與性能分析軟體。 研究結果得知,使用間接蒸發冷卻模組可明顯降低耗電與提高EER,以及在節能量分析時,節能百分比可達+11.03%,於實驗與模擬進行誤差分析時,誤差值可達10%內。由上述結果可得知間接蒸發式冷卻模組能有效提升VRF系統之性能,以及驗證模擬軟體之可靠性。
In this study, we performed experimental analysis by applying indirect evaporative cooling module to VRF system experiment. Based on the experimental results, we further compared the performance and energy saving between indirect evaporative cooling and air cooling, and analyzed the errors of experiment and simulation at outside air temperatures of 28 ℃, 31 ℃, 34 ℃and 37 ℃. For simulation, the heat exchanger model, the regression equation of the compressor performance, the evaporator model and expansion valve model are established by mathematical modeling, and the VBA built in Microsoft EXCEL is used to program the software for heat transferring and performance analysis of evaporative cooling system. The results show that the indirect evaporative cooling module can reduce energy consumption significantly and enhance EER. As to the energy saving analysis, the indirect evaporative cooling module can save energy up to +11.03%. For the error analysises of experiment and simulation, the error value is less than 10%. From the above results, the indirect evaporative cooling module can effectively enhance the performance of VRF system and verify the reliability of simulation software.
