Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of cooling and heating air conditioning systems, and in particular to a cooling and heating integrated system with a defrosting function. Background Art

[0002] As people's requirements for the protection of living environment and special cabin environment are getting higher and higher, many air conditioning equipment and environmental control equipment with various functions and forms have emerged to meet people's cooling and heating needs. Among them, when used as air source heating, the industry will pay attention to the low-temperature defrosting problem, that is, when the compressor is in heating mode, due to the influence of the external low temperature environment, the evaporator participating in the outdoor heat exchange will easily frost. As the frost becomes thicker and thicker, the heat exchange effect becomes worse and worse, and eventually the heat exchange has to be stopped and the defrosting program has to be entered. At present, professional manufacturers at home and abroad have their own defrosting methods and control procedures. Relevant colleges and researchers have also published a large number of technical papers and research reports on defrosting. The purpose is nothing more than shortening the defrosting time, reducing the impact of temperature fluctuations on the heat exchange side, improving heating efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0003] From the perspective of system operation of defrosting methods, there are generally 4 types: ① Reverse defrosting, that is, the equipment stops heating operation and switches to "cooling operation", and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant of the compressor is transported to the outdoor heat exchanger to release heat and defrost, while the indoor heat exchanger becomes evaporative and absorbs heat. The main disadvantage is that it has a greater impact on the temperature fluctuation on the indoor side, and the defrosting time and energy consumption are not ideal; ② Sensible heat defrosting, sometimes called low-pressure hot gas defrosting, that is, the equipment stops heating operation, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant of the compressor is transported to the outdoor heat exchanger after low pressure to release heat and defrost, while the indoor heat exchanger does not have heat exchange work, which has a greater impact on the indoor temperature than reverse defrosting. The impact of temperature fluctuation is small, but the defrosting time and energy consumption are much greater than reverse defrosting. For example, the reverse defrosting time is 3 minutes, while the sensible heat defrosting time is more than 3 times, and the energy consumption is also more than 3 times; ③ Hot gas bypass defrosting, that is, the equipment does not stop heating operation, and a part of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant bypasses and flows to the outdoor heat exchanger, so that the temperature rises and defrosts are performed. Its characteristic is that the indoor temperature fluctuation is between reverse defrosting and sensible heat defrosting, and the defrosting time is doubled compared with reverse defrosting; ④ Electric defrosting, one case is full electric defrosting, the energy consumption is naturally the highest, not energy-saving, and the other case is used as an auxiliary or local use. In short, the main problems of the above methods are long defrosting time and high energy consumption.

[0004] In addition, from the perspective of refrigeration, in order to improve the refrigeration efficiency of equipment, in addition to continuously improving the efficiency of components such as compressors, fans and heat exchangers, system optimization is also a way. For example, the industry is well-known for using subcoolers to increase the system's subcooling degree, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire machine. How to comprehensively apply the subcooler function used for refrigeration to heating and defrosting, and at the same time use the heat energy stored in the heating stage to accelerate the defrosting process, is worth considering.

[0027] The port of the indoor heat exchanger 16 connected to the outlet of the third one-way valve 10 is also connected to the inlet of the fourth one-way valve 11 through a pipeline, the outlet of the fourth one-way valve 11 is connected to the inlet of the first channel in the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 through a pipeline, the outlet of the first throttling element 8 is also connected to the inlet of the second one-way valve 9 through a pipeline, and the port of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 connected to the inlet of the first one-way valve 5 is also connected to the outlet of the second one-way valve 9 through a pipeline; the refrigerant in the compressor 1 is discharged from the first one-way valve 2 of the four-way reversing valve 2.

[0029] In the present invention, the second throttling element 12 is in a supercooling open state in the refrigeration cycle. In the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant flowing out of the first one-way valve 5 bypasses through the second throttling element 12 and enters the second channel in the auxiliary heat exchanger 13, and then flows out of the second channel in the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 and returns to the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 17, thereby forming a supercooling bypass.

[0030] In the present invention, the first throttling element 8 corresponds to the refrigeration on state and the heating on state according to the throttling and superheating requirements of the refrigeration cycle and the heating cycle respectively; the second throttling element 12 corresponds to the subcooling on state and the defrost on state according to the throttling and superheating requirements of the subcooling bypass and the defrost cycle respectively.

[0031] In the present invention, during the defrost cycle, the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is converted to a condenser function, the outdoor fan 3 stops working, the auxiliary heat exchanger 13 is converted to an evaporator function, the second throttling element 12 is in the defrost open state, and the first throttling element 8 is in the closed state.

[0034] In the present invention, the liquid storage device 6 has a bidirectional flow liquid storage function.

[0035] The present invention can be extended to water machine products, such as air source heat pump water heaters, etc. The difference is that the indoor heat exchanger 16 is changed from a fin heat exchanger to a plate heat exchanger, a shell and tube heat exchanger, a sleeve heat exchanger, etc. In other words, the heating side is changed from air to liquid (such as water, ethylene glycol, etc.), but the working principles of heating, defrosting, etc. here can be used equivalently.

[0036] The present invention is different from reverse defrost, sensible heat defrost and hot gas bypass defrost, but it also integrates some of their advantages. For example, the refrigerant does not pass through the air-inside heat exchanger 16, and the impact on the indoor temperature fluctuation is minimal, just like the sensible heat defrost; since the heat on the evaporation side during the defrost stage mainly comes from the liquid heat energy stored in the auxiliary heat exchanger 13, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant of the compressor 1 is all transported to the outdoor heat exchanger 4 to release heat and defrost, the effect is better than the reverse defrost. Sample tests have shown that the defrost time is compressed by about 30% compared with the reverse defrost, and the energy consumption is saved by about 30%.

[0037] Due to the different environmental temperature and humidity, required functions, control parameters and procedures of the products, as well as the different selection of components such as the auxiliary heat exchanger 13, sometimes a small amount of auxiliary electric heating 14 is needed to cooperate with the completion. Or use heat pipe technology to obtain more heat from the liquid reservoir 6.

[0038] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For a person skilled in the art, any obvious changes made thereto without departing from the principle of the present invention are within the concept of the present invention and the protection scope of the appended claims.
