The first condenser 8 and the return air preheater 9 both adopt high-density water-immersed aluminum foil condensers, which are composed of a plurality of copper tubes and fins connected to the copper tubes. The copper tubes are filled with refrigerant, and the fins can increase the heat exchange area, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. A fan 10 is arranged above the first condenser 8, and the fan 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box body 1, and an air outlet 11 is arranged on the upper side wall of the box body 1 at a position corresponding to the fan 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the air is heated by heat exchange between the first condenser 8 and the return air preheater 9, and then the heated air is blown out from the air outlet 11 by the fan 10. The fan 10 adopts a volute type double-inlet fan, which can increase the air supply distance and wind speed.

[0031] Specifically, the electronic expansion valve 3, the compressor 2, the heat exchanger 4 and the gas-liquid separator 5 are all fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1, and the four-way valve 6 connects the compressor 2, the first condenser 8, the heat exchanger 4 and the gas-liquid separator 5 respectively.

[0034] When the temperature of the refrigerant in the first condenser 8 drops to about 35°C after heat exchange, the refrigerant in the first condenser 8 then enters the second condenser, and the temperature of the refrigerant in the second condenser is about 35°C. An air inlet 12 is provided on the lower side wall of the box body 1 at a position corresponding to the second condenser, and air enters the box body 1 from the air inlet 12. When the air entering the box body 1 passes through the second condenser, it can be preliminarily heated, so that the initial temperature of the air when it passes through the first condenser 8 for heating is higher, so the heating speed is faster and the temperature is higher, so that the waste heat is fully utilized, the heat utilization rate is improved, and the user's use cost is reduced.

[0035] Specifically, the air outlet of the compressor 2 is connected to a capillary tube 13 through a pipe, the other end of the capillary tube 13 is connected to the air inlet of the second condenser, and a solenoid valve 14 is provided on the capillary tube 13.

At the same time, the temperature of the refrigerant in the first condenser 8 drops to about 35°C after heat exchange, and the heated air is blown out by the fan 10 through the air outlet 11 to increase the room temperature. The refrigerant in the first condenser 8 enters the return air preheater 9 through the copper tube, and after heat exchange by the return air preheater 9, it enters the heat exchanger 4 through the electronic expansion valve 3. At this time, the refrigerant at -5 to 5°C exchanges heat with the water source in the heat exchanger 4, becomes a normal temperature and pressure state, enters the port at the lower left part of the four-way valve 6, and then flows out from the port in the middle of the bottom and enters the gas-liquid separator 5, and finally is recovered to the compressor 2 to complete the heating cycle.

[0043] The return air preheating water source heat pump integrated machine provided by the utility model is provided with a first condenser 8 connected to the return air preheater 9, so that the waste heat of the refrigerant in the first condenser 8 enters the return air preheater 9 for secondary utilization. When the air enters the box body 1 from the air inlet 12, it is firstly heated by the return air preheater 9, and then heated for the second time by the first condenser 8, so that the initial temperature of the air when it reaches the first condenser 8 for heating is relatively high, so the heating speed is faster and the temperature is higher, so that the waste heat is fully utilized, the heat utilization rate is improved, and the user's use cost is reduced.

[0044] The specific implementation methods of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.
