Abstract

The invention discloses a heat pump and heat pipe compounded solar water heater control system and an operation method. The system has two work modes, namely, the heat pump mode driven by a variable-frequency compressor and the heat pipe mode driven by a working medium pump. The system can have three hot water production modes, namely, the whole-process heat pump mode, the whole-process heat pipe mode and the heat-pipe-first and heat-pump-second mixed mode under control of a networking controller tracking the environment work condition and the water tank temperature in real time. The networking controller determines the start time, the hot water production mode and the mode switching opportunity according to the weather forecast, the collected environment work condition and the water tank water temperature data. In the heat pump mode, the system can dynamically regulate a compressor to operate in a variable-volume manner according to real-time environment parameters and the water tank temperature, and an expansion valve controls the superheat degree of a photovoltaic evaporator to keep at a small value all the time. By means of the compounded operation mode of the heat pipe mode and the heat pump mode and tracking of the variable-volume control over the environment work condition, the system can meet the requirement of users for domestic hot water in a full year and can efficiently operate in an energy-saving manner according to the environment condition.
