Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air source heat pumps for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and in particular relates to an air source heat pump hot water heat storage and defrosting system based on a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] Air source heat pump water heaters have been widely used in recent years due to their advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency, safety and reliability. However, when operating in a low temperature and high humidity environment (such as the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country), the evaporator of the unit will frost. The frost blocks the air passage, increases the heat transfer resistance on the air side, and causes a significant decrease in the heating capacity of the unit, so the evaporator needs to be defrosted periodically. The existing reverse cycle defrosting technology needs to absorb heat from the hot water on the user side or the indoor heat for defrosting, which will cause a significant drop in indoor temperature, seriously affecting the indoor comfort on the user side, and also reducing the heating efficiency of the unit, so it is necessary to develop new defrosting technology to solve this problem.

[0035] (3) During the defrosting process of the system, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger acts as an evaporator. The low-temperature refrigerant in the tube gap can not only perform forced convection heat exchange with the thermal storage hot water flowing in the inner tube, but also perform disturbance heat exchange with the thermal storage hot water (because water continuously flows in and out of the thermal storage hot water, which will cause disturbance to the thermal storage hot water), thereby greatly enhancing the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger. Compared with the existing hot water, especially the phase change thermal storage defrosting technology (the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the phase change material is mainly the heat conduction of the phase change material), the defrosting time can be greatly shortened. At the same time, it can avoid absorbing heat from the room during the defrosting period, thereby ensuring the indoor comfort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] Embodiment 1
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the technical solution of this embodiment is as follows:
[0049] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0050] When the system operates in heating and heat storage mode, the first water valve 11 is opened, the second water valve 12 is closed, the first outlet of the three-way valve 62 is opened, and the second outlet is closed. This mode consists of refrigerant circulation, heating water circulation and heat storage hot water circulation. The working principles of each part of the circulation are as follows.
[0051] Refrigerant circulation: The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant coming out of the compressor 1 enters the gap between the inner tube and the outer tube in the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 through the four-way valve 2, flows from top to bottom, and performs forced convection heat exchange with the heating return water in a countercurrent manner, transferring heat to the heating return water through the wall of the inner tube. At the same time, the refrigerant also transfers heat to the low-temperature thermal storage hot water around the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 through the wall of the outer tube, thereby realizing the cooling, condensation and supercooling of the high-temperature refrigerant. The refrigerant coming out of the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 is throttled by the throttle valve 4 and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid, and then enters the air-cooled evaporator 3 to absorb the heat of the outdoor air, evaporate and superheat, and at the same time, the surface of the evaporator slowly frosts, and the low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gas coming out of the air-cooled evaporator 3 is sucked into the air intake of the compressor 1 after passing through the four-way valve 2 and the gas-liquid separator 5.
[0052] Heating water circulation: The heating water coming out of the heating room is pressurized by the first water valve 11 and the water pump 7, and then enters the shell and tube condenser 6 and flows from bottom to top. The heating water heated by the refrigerant enters the heating room through the first water pipe 8, and transfers the heat to the indoor air, thereby achieving heating of the room.
[0053] Thermal storage hot water circulation: The thermal storage hot water absorbs the heat of the refrigerant in the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 in a heat conduction manner and its temperature gradually increases.
[0054] When the system detects that the air-cooled evaporator 3 needs to be defrosted, it first detects whether the temperature of the thermal storage hot water reaches the set value (the set value can be determined according to the actual situation, as long as the water temperature can provide sufficient heat for the system defrosting, such as the set value of 50°C). If it reaches the set value, the system enters the defrost mode; if it does not reach the set value, the thermal storage hot water fast heat storage mode is operated. The working principle of this mode is as follows:
[0055] The first water valve 11 is closed, the second water valve 12 is opened, the first outlet of the three-way valve 62 is closed, and the second outlet is opened. This mode consists of a refrigerant cycle, a heating water cycle, and a thermal storage hot water cycle. The refrigerant cycle process is the same as the refrigerant cycle process in the heating and thermal storage mode, but the heating water cycle and the thermal storage hot water cycle are quite different. In this mode, the heating water cycle stops. The thermal storage hot water cycle works as follows: the thermal storage hot water passes through the second water valve 12, is pressurized by the water pump 7, and enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 6, flows from bottom to top, exchanges heat with the refrigerant in a forced convection manner, and the temperature gradually increases, and then returns to the thermal storage hot water through the second outlet of the three-way valve 62. In this process, all the heat generated by the system is used to heat the thermal storage hot water, so the temperature of the thermal storage hot water can reach the set value in a very short time (such as 1 minute). Since the heating stop time is short, the temperature in the heating room will not drop. When the water temperature of the thermal storage hot water reaches the set value, the system stops running this mode and enters the defrosting mode.
[0056] When the system runs in defrost mode, the four-way valve 2 is reversed, the first water valve 11 is closed, the second water valve 12 is opened, the first outlet of the three-way valve 62 is closed, and the second outlet is opened. This mode consists of a refrigerant circulation, a heating water circulation, and a thermal storage hot water circulation. The working principles of each circulation are as follows.
[0057] Refrigerant circulation: The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant coming out of the compressor 1 enters the air-cooled evaporator 3 through the four-way valve 2, transfers heat to the frost on the surface of the evaporator to melt it, and the refrigerant coming out of the air-cooled evaporator 3 is throttled by the throttle valve 4, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid and enters the gap between the inner tube and the outer tube of the shell and tube heat exchanger 6, flows from bottom to top, and performs forced convection heat exchange with the flowing thermal storage hot water in the inner tube, and also exchanges heat with the thermal storage hot water on the outer surface of the shell and tube in a heat conduction manner. The refrigerant absorbs the heat of these two parts of thermal storage hot water and evaporates into superheated gas, which is then sucked into the suction port of the compressor 1 through the four-way valve 2 and the gas-liquid separator 5.
[0058] Heating water circulation: In this mode, the heating water circulation stops and the system stops supplying heat to the heating room.
[0059] Thermal storage hot water circulation: The thermal storage hot water passes through the second water valve 12, is pressurized by the water pump 7, and enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 6, flows from bottom to top, exchanges heat with the refrigerant in a forced convection manner and the temperature gradually decreases, and then returns to the thermal storage hot water through the second outlet of the three-way valve 62. When the system defrosts, the system stops running this mode and enters the heating and thermal storage mode.
[0060] The shell 61 is built with a heat-insulating material with extremely low thermal conductivity, which can effectively reduce the heat dissipation of the stored hot water to the surrounding cold air. The heat-insulating material can be a heat-insulating cotton or a polyurethane heat-insulating material commonly used in the art.
[0061] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:
[0062] (1) During the heating and heat storage process of the system, the shell and tube heat exchanger acts as a condenser. The high-temperature refrigerant in the gap between the inner tube and the outer tube exchanges heat with the heating water in the inner tube by forced convection. The heat exchange method with the hot water on the surface of the heat exchanger is mainly heat conduction. The thermal conductivity of water is relatively small. Compared with the forced convection heat exchange method, the heat exchange effect of this method is poor. Therefore, most of the heat of the refrigerant is transferred to the heating water. In addition, in order to ensure sufficient heat storage, the system is also equipped with a fast heat storage mode for hot water. In this way, the shell and tube heat exchanger can be used to achieve the purpose of priority heating, waste heat storage and sufficient heat storage.
[0063] (2) During the defrosting process of the system, the shell and tube heat exchanger acts as an evaporator. The low-temperature refrigerant in the gap between the inner tube and the outer tube can not only exchange heat with the hot water flowing in the inner tube by forced convection, but also exchange heat with the hot water on the surface of the shell and tube heat exchanger by disturbance. Because water continuously flows in and out of the hot water, it will disturb the hot water, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect of the hot water. This will greatly increase the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant, thereby shortening the defrosting time. At the same time, it can avoid absorbing heat from the room during the defrosting period, ensuring the comfort of the room.
[0064] (3) Based on the hollow exterior of the heat exchanger, this embodiment utilizes the volume of the hollow portion to be filled with hot water for heat storage, and does not require the addition of an additional water pump, but only requires the addition of a few valves and water pipes. This can minimize the space occupied and the cost of the unit. Compared with the traditional reverse cycle defrosting technology and the existing heat storage defrosting technology, especially the phase change heat storage defrosting technology, the advantages are very obvious in terms of both cost and effect.
[0065] (4) Most of the condensers used in small and medium-sized air source heat pump water heaters on the current market are shell and tube heat exchangers, and the system must perform a defrost operation when heating in winter. Combined with the advantages of the above embodiment, it is not difficult to imagine that the present embodiment will have a very broad market application prospect, and its related products are also being developed.
[0066] Embodiment 2
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the technical solution of this embodiment is different from that of embodiment 1 in that the system heating and heat storage mode also includes a thermal storage hot water slow heat storage cycle, and the working principle of the cycle is: during the system operation of the heating and heat storage mode, when it is detected that the temperature of the heating water coming out of the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 is lower than the set value, the system runs a thermal storage hot water slow heat storage cycle, the first water valve 11, the fourth water valve 15 and the fifth water valve 17 are closed, the second water valve 12 and the third water valve 13 are opened, the heating water circulation stops, and the thermal storage hot water passes through the second water valve 12, is pressurized by the water pump 7, and then enters the third water valve 13. In the upper space of the shell 61, after the process runs for t seconds (the value of t is small, the reason is given below), that is, after most of the volume of the upper space is filled with hot water, the first water valve 11 and the fifth water valve 17 are opened, and the second water valve 12, the third water valve 13 and the fourth water valve 15 are closed, that is, the circulation of heating water is restored. After such a process, part of the hot water stored in the lower space can be transferred to the upper space, so that the contact area between the surface of the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 and the hot water stored will be reduced, thereby reducing the heat transfer from the refrigerant to the hot water stored, and transferring more heat to the heating water in the inner tube.
[0068] In this process, since the water in the inner tube of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6 does not flow, the heat exchange effect between the refrigerant and the water becomes poor. In order to avoid the poor condensation of the refrigerant during this period, which leads to the condensation temperature and pressure of the refrigerant being too high, and then causing the system to stop operating due to self-protection due to excessive pressure, the throttle valve opening can be reduced to reduce the circulation flow of the refrigerant, thereby reducing the condensation pressure of the refrigerant to ensure the stable and safe operation of the unit. If the fan used by the compressor 1 and the air-cooled evaporator 3 is a variable frequency motor, a similar effect can be achieved by reducing the frequency of the motor.
[0069] The reason why the time t is taken as a smaller value is given here: the water pump 7 used in this embodiment is mainly used to drive the circulation of heating water. The circulation flow rate of heating water is much larger than the circulation flow rate of thermal storage hot water, and the volume of the upper half space is smaller, about 20% of the lower half space, so the water pump 7 can fill the upper half space with hot water in a very short time.
[0070] When the temperature of the heating water coming out of the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 is higher than the set value, the fourth water valve 15 opens, and the hot water in the upper half of the space enters the lower half of the space through the fourth water pipe 14 and the fifth water pipe 16 in turn under the action of gravity and is then heated.
[0071] Compared with the first embodiment, the present embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0072] This embodiment adds a slow heat storage cycle of thermal storage hot water on the basis of the heating and heat storage mode of the first embodiment. In this way, when the system is running in the heating and heat storage mode, if it is detected that the outlet water temperature of the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 is lower than the set value, the system can transfer more heat of the high-temperature refrigerant to the heating water by running the slow heat storage cycle of thermal storage hot water, thereby achieving the purpose of priority heating.
[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
