Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-conditioning heat pump heating and hot water systems. Background Art
[0002] Indoor air conditioning, hot water and heating are the general needs of people, and energy conservation and low-carbon environmental protection are the requirements for human survival and sustainable development. However, the current household air conditioners, while producing cold air for the indoor air in summer, emit a large amount of heat energy to the outdoor air, which cannot be used, which is a waste of energy and causes environmental thermal pollution. In addition, the traditional air conditioners are idle for a long time in spring and autumn, and the equipment utilization rate is too low, which is also a waste of equipment. Furthermore, in winter, the hot air of the air conditioners is used for heating. Generally, several low-power air conditioners are installed in multiple rooms of a family, and the hot air blowing on the ceiling is uncomfortable. The popular air source heat pump provides hot water and the floor heating method of laying hot water pipes under the floor has good comfort, but the disadvantage is that the project is huge, the cost of floor heating exceeds the cost of heat pumps, the heat capacity is large, the start-up is slow, and continuous heating is required. When no one is at home during work during the day, the heat of continuous heating is dissipated to the environment through the walls of the house, and the energy-saving effect is greatly reduced. The biggest obstacle to using air source heat pumps for heating in winter is the defrosting problem. In cold and humid areas, the frost on the outdoor heat exchanger of the heat pump seriously endangers the normal operation of the heat pump, and now The most common reverse cycle defrosting method is that the exhaust gas of the compressor enters the outdoor heat exchanger for defrosting, and then enters the indoor heat exchanger through the throttle, and is not allowed to absorb heat from the indoor room, otherwise it will become indoor cooling. The liquid refrigerant flowing through the indoor heat exchanger has to flow into the gas-liquid separator through the four-way valve. Although the stored liquid in the gas-liquid separator will provide part of the heat, there is still liquid refrigerant sucked into the compressor, which can only be vaporized by the heat generated by the compression work of the compressor. Therefore, the heat for defrosting only uses the electric work consumed by the compressor; using high-quality electric energy for defrosting is a waste of energy use; due to insufficient defrosting energy and long defrosting time, the heating capacity of the heat pump is seriously reduced; in severe weather, frequent defrosting will cause the heat pump to fail to work normally; because the refrigerant liquid cannot obtain heat to evaporate in the indoor heat exchanger, there is a risk of compressor liquid shock; therefore, the lack of suitable energy for heat pump defrosting is a problem that plagues the refrigeration industry; although there are also proposals to adopt the method of absorbing the heat of the compressor exhaust to store heat, it has not been promoted due to the heat transfer performance and volume of the phase change heat storage device or the complexity of the system.

[0029] The summer cooling and winter heating four-season hot water unit described in the utility model, according to the climate difference between the north and the south, has derived designs of advanced, practical, simple and minimalist types; its characteristics are: the advanced type, its compressor is a variable frequency compressor, its first and third throttles are electronic expansion valves, its control method is equipped with voice control and remote intelligent control system, and it runs automatically and continuously; the practical type, its compressor is a fixed frequency or variable frequency compressor, its first, second, third and fourth throttles are capillaries, its three-way valve is a manual three-way valve, the operating mode is manually selected, and an automatic mode is available; the simple type is not equipped with a hot water heater heating system; the minimalist type cancels the second hot water heat exchanger and the hot water circulation pump, and only relies on the self-convection heat exchange of water in the hot water tank with an integrated hot water heat exchanger, and simply retains the cooling, heating and hot water functions.
[0030] The innovative features of this utility model mainly include:
[0031] 1. The invention discloses a four-season hot water unit for cooling in summer and heating in winter, in which the hot and cold water machine can cleverly realize three functional cycles by using only one four-way valve: cooling air and making hot water in summer, making hot water by absorbing heat from outdoor air in spring and autumn, and heating air and hot water in winter; the three functional cycles include a fluorine-free circuit: two independent hot water-making cycles with the first hot water heat exchanger as the condenser and the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers as the evaporators, and a cooling air and heating cycle with the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers as the evaporators and condensers of each other; the design innovation is that the traditional fluorine circuit of the cold and warm air conditioner is cleverly combined in parallel with the fluorine circuit of the first hot water heat exchanger for making hot water, and the liquid outlet at the bottom of the first hot water heat exchanger is connected to the second interface (liquid inlet) of the outdoor and indoor heat exchangers respectively through the first and second throttles, producing Three unexpected effects: (1) The condensate of the hot water heat exchanger passes through two throttles and automatically selects the throttling path by virtue of the pressure difference between the compressor outlet and the indoor or outdoor heat exchanger when used as an evaporator, cleverly forming a hot water heating cycle with the indoor or outdoor heat exchanger as the evaporator and the hot water heat exchanger as the condenser, without the need for additional valve control; (2) Hot water can be produced regardless of whether the air-conditioning water heater performs a cooling or heating cycle; (3) The compressor outlet remains connected to the first interface of the four-way valve, thus maintaining the cooling and heating functions of the original air-conditioning machine; this is a magical invention. The above three innovations have made the air-conditioning water heater with four cycles of cooling, heating and dual-source hot water heating extremely simple, with obvious novelty and outstanding advancement, and are original inventions.
[0032] 2. The four-season hot water unit for cooling in summer and heating in winter described in the utility model completely solves the defrosting problem of the air conditioner. A second hot water heat exchanger is added between the indoor heat exchanger and the third throttle. It has two functions: (1) It acts as an evaporator during the reverse defrosting cycle during defrosting to provide the heat of the hot water in the hot water tank for defrosting; it overcomes the problem that the traditional air conditioner cannot absorb heat from the room during the defrosting cycle in winter, which is energy-saving and safe. The conventional reverse cycle defrosting method is widely used because the liquid refrigerant entering the indoor heat exchanger cannot obtain heat and can only pass through the compressor. The heat generated by the fast-running compression work is used for defrosting, and the utility model adopts the second hot water heat exchanger to serve as the evaporator during defrosting, using the heat of hot water in the hot water tank to quantify the defrosting. The energy cost is only 1 / 3 of the electrical energy, i.e., the compression work, and the defrosting speed is fast, which is a breakthrough in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the heat pump in winter; (2) during the heating cycle, the sensible heat of the supercooled liquid before throttling can be recovered from the condensed liquid, saving energy and improving the heating efficiency. The added second hot water heat exchanger is one of the innovative features of the four-season hot water unit for summer cooling and winter heating described in the utility model, ensuring continuous and reliable operation of winter heating.
[0033] 3. The utility model discloses a four-season hot water unit for cooling in summer and heating in winter, with dual heating modes, and adopts a hot water heater with a fan for forced heat dissipation. It has four contributions: (1) It ensures that the heat transfer temperature zone of the hot water heater matches the hot water outlet temperature zone of the air source heat pump, with the hot water at 50°C and the return water at 42°C, thereby realizing a new heating mode of the air source heat pump that replaces the floor heating mode. Compared with floor heating, the hot water heater is much simpler to heat, and the cost and installation fee are less than 1 / 4 of that of floor heating; (2) It changes the heating mode of the fixed area of the single air conditioner blowing hot air to the top, and the dual heating mode is adopted. Heating method: multi-room extended hot water heater heating. The hot water heater is installed like a radiator, with the air outlet less than 1 meter from the ground. It uses a centrifugal fan wheel to dissipate heat, has low noise, and its heat transfer capacity is several times stronger than that of a radiator. It has the advantage of centrally transferring heat to different places where it is needed; (3) Dual heating method: with moderate heat capacity, the heating time can be adjusted according to humanized time, which is more energy-saving than the long-term operation of floor heating; (4) Compared with the one-machine-multiple-drag fluorine-circuit heating method and floor heating method, it is simple, low-cost, easy to control, and comfortable; the dual heating method is an innovation in heating methods.
[0034] 4. The hot water system of the four-season hot water unit for cooling in summer and heating in winter described in the utility model uses a three-way valve to organize four types of hot water circulation water circuits: a self-circulating hot water exchange circuit; a forced circulation hot water exchange circuit; a heating circulation hot water exchange circuit; and a tap water top pressure hot water output method. The self-circulating hot water exchange circuit is used in summer to save the running cost of the hot water circulation pump. The forced circulation hot water exchange circuit is used in spring and autumn, and the first and second hot water heat exchangers both participate in the heat exchange, which strengthens the heat exchange and improves the unit efficiency and hot water output power. The heating circulation hot water exchange circuit is responsible for transmitting the heat obtained by the first and second hot water heat exchangers to the hot water heater to heat the rooms far away from the indoor unit, which is energy-saving and comfortable. It transmits hot water heat for defrosting. It adopts the tap water top pressure water output method, which is automatic and convenient. The user's existing electric water heaters can be connected in series as a hot water storage tank to increase the energy storage function.
[0035] 5. The first hot water heat exchanger described in the utility model adopts the design of a heat exchanger with a guide sleeve and a spiral coil installed in the hot water tank. Since the water in the guide sleeve is heated by the spiral coil heat exchanger and the temperature rises rapidly, the water outside the guide sleeve has not yet been heated. Due to the density difference between the water inside and outside the sleeve, self-reinforced thermal convection of the water inside and outside the guide sleeve is formed; therefore, in the summer cooling and hot water production mode, the hot water in the hot water tank can meet the demand by relying on self-circulation heat exchange, which saves the power consumption of forced circulation of hot water and simplifies the control.
[0036] 6. The most outstanding advantage of the four-season hot water unit for cooling in summer and heating in winter described in the utility model is that it has obvious energy-saving effect. It can perform cooling and hot water production at the same time in summer, and the obtained hot water is completely free. The longer the summer, the more benefits the area will get. In spring and autumn, the mode of absorbing heat from the outdoor to produce hot water saves 70-75% of electricity compared with electric water heaters. It has multi-mode energy-saving operation, and the defrosting mode in winter is effective and energy-saving. The annual average COP of the unit for hot water production is greater than 5.5.
[0037] To sum up, the summer cooling and winter heating four-season hot water unit described in the utility model has a clear and novel structure, a solid theoretical basis for innovative technology, powerful design functions, remarkable energy-saving effects, outstanding advancement, and obvious practicality, which meets the three requirements of invention patents.
