Today, my country's energy supply structure has gradually formed an energy supply system with coal, natural gas, oil and electricity as the mainstay, and new energy and renewable energy as auxiliary. In recent years, with the continuous development of the national economy, the demand for energy consumption in all walks of life has continued to grow. From the perspective of energy consumption, the proportion of energy consumption generated by heating, cooling, and hot water production in the total energy consumption of the whole society cannot be ignored. Giving priority to reducing this part of energy consumption will play a key role in my country's early realization of the "dual carbon" strategic goal. my country has abundant solar energy and a large amount of unused low-grade waste heat resources from industrial production. How to use these abundant waste heat and solar energy resources to reduce the energy consumption generated by heating, refrigeration, and hot water production has become a hot topic and direction of research. At present, the most mature technology for my country to use waste heat for refrigeration, heating, and hot water production is mainly absorption lithium bromide units. The lithium bromide working fluid used in the known lithium bromide units is highly corrosive to copper and carbon steel. During operation, the refrigerant must be circulated under negative pressure to slow down the corrosion of the metal. This requires the equipment to be equipped with a vacuum pump, and at the same time, the airtightness of the equipment is relatively high, resulting in high manufacturing costs and high operating energy consumption.

The present invention is described below in various operation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0026] Refrigeration operation mode: the F7 electric regulating valve and the F8 electric regulating valve are open; the refrigerant circulation pump M4 is running; the lubricating oil pump M5 is running; the A and B positions of the F5 electric three-way valve are opened, the AB position of the F6 electric three-way valve is opened, and the hot water circulation pump M6 is running; the hot and cold water circulation pump M3 is running, and the 55-60℃ hot water in the hot water storage tank circulates between the steam generator heat exchanger through the hot water circulation pump M6 and the F7 electric regulating valve, heating the refrigerant medium of the steam generator to generate steam, which enters the centrifuge driving turbine to work through the F8 electric regulating valve and is then discharged into the condenser to be cooled to liquid, and then pressurized by the refrigerant circulation pump M4 and sent to the steam generator to be reheated and circulated again to work. At the same time, the refrigerant liquid from the condenser 103 enters the evaporator 104 through PZF1, is heated and evaporated by the refrigerant in the frozen water tank 301, and is extracted by the coaxial compressor turbine driven by the exhaust turbine and discharged into the condenser 103 for cooling, thereby realizing the refrigeration of the water in the frozen water tank 301. When the external waste heat is insufficient and the temperature of the constant temperature water tank is less than 55°C in the cooling mode, the auxiliary electric heater is started through PLC control to heat the water in the heat storage tank to raise the water temperature to 55°C; when the temperature of the cooling water tank is between 20-37°C, the cooling water internal circulation mode is operated; when the temperature of the cooling water tank is greater than 37°C, the F2 three-way valve A1 and C1 positions are opened, the F3 three-way valve C1 and C2 positions are opened, and the F4 three-way valve C1 and C2 positions are opened through PLC control to start the cooling water external circulation mode to ensure full utilization of the heat source and improve the thermal efficiency of the whole machine.

[0027] Heating operation mode: F5 three-way valve B and C positions are open, F6 three-way valve B and C positions are open, hot and cold water circulation pump M3 is running, 55-60℃ hot water circulates in the fan coil through the circulation pump M3, three-way valves F5 and F6 to exchange with indoor cold air, thereby achieving winter heating.

[0028] Hot water supply mode: domestic hot water circulation pump M2 is running, F1 thermostatic valve is opened, cold and hot water are modulated to 40℃ warm water through mechanical thermostatic valve and then transported to user terminal bathroom facilities through circulation pump M2. When the liquid level in the heat storage tank is lower than 80%, F2 three-way valve A1 and B1 positions are opened, M1 cold water supply pump is running to replenish the liquid level in the heat storage tank, thereby achieving uninterrupted hot water supply around the clock.

[0029] The power supply system is connected to the dual power switching device 202 by the main power supply 200 and the backup power supply 201 through two lines. The main power supply can be connected by an external new energy AC 220V-380V power supply. If the main power supply loses power during the valley period, the dual power switching device will automatically switch to the backup mains power. It will not switch during the peak, peak and flat periods. At this time, the AC power after the battery inverts in the uninterruptible power supply device 208 provides the power supply for the system. When the battery power in the uninterruptible power supply device 208 is lower than the set power, the main power supply is switched first. If the main power supply does not return to normal, it will switch to the backup mains power supply to ensure energy-saving, efficient and reliable operation of the system.

[0030] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
