[0079] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of some embodiments of the air conditioning system according to the present disclosure. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the air conditioning system includes a compressor 1 , at least two indoor heat exchangers 3 , an outdoor heat exchanger 2 , a first flow path and a second flow path connected in parallel, an enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 and a regulating valve 22 .
[0080] The first flow path fluidly connects the outlet of the compressor 1, the outdoor heat exchanger 2, and at least one indoor heat exchanger 3. The second flow path fluidly connects the outlet of the compressor 1 and at least one indoor heat exchanger 3. The first flow path and the second flow path are configured to operate selectively or simultaneously.
[0081] A first end of the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 is connected to the pipeline between the outdoor heat exchanger 2 and at least one indoor heat exchanger 3 , and a second end of the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 is connected to the enthalpy increasing port of the compressor 1 .
[0082] The regulating valve 22 is provided in the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 , and the regulating valve 22 is configured to adjust the on-off and flow rate of the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 .
[0083] In some embodiments, the compressor 1 comprises a jet enthalpy increase compressor.
[0084] The enthalpy increase port of the compressor 1 is arranged in the medium-pressure chamber of the compressor 1 .
[0085] In some embodiments, the regulating valve 22 includes an electronic expansion valve. Using a highly accurate electronic expansion valve can achieve smooth regulation of stepless heat injection and accurately control the amount of heat injection according to the unit state, thereby improving comfort and reliability and making energy efficiency transitions smoother.
[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air-conditioning system includes an outdoor heat exchanger 2 and at least two indoor heat exchangers 3, and the at least two indoor heat exchangers 3 are connected in parallel. The air-conditioning system is a multi-split system.
[0087] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first flow path and the second flow path are fluid communication paths. In some working modes, along the flow direction of the refrigerant, the outlet of the compressor 1, the outdoor heat exchanger 2 and the at least one indoor heat exchanger 3 are sequentially fluidly connected as the first flow path. In other working modes, along the flow direction of the refrigerant, at least one indoor heat exchanger 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 2 and the inlet of the compressor 1 are sequentially fluidly connected. Therefore, in fact, some pipes of the air-conditioning system, the outdoor heat exchanger 2, the at least one indoor heat exchanger 3, etc. may be located in the first flow path, or may be located in other flow paths. Similarly, at least one indoor heat exchanger 3 may be located in the first flow path, or the second flow path, or may also be located in other flow paths. Therefore, the first flow path and the second flow path are not necessarily fixed pipes. Therefore, there are no numbers in the first flow path and the second flow path diagram.
[0088] In the disclosed embodiment, the first fluid path connects the outlet of the compressor 1, the outdoor heat exchanger 2, and at least one indoor heat exchanger 3. The at least one indoor heat exchanger 3 is an indoor evaporator, capable of cooling the room. The second fluid path connects the outlet of the compressor 1 and at least one indoor heat exchanger 3. The at least one indoor heat exchanger 3 is an indoor condenser, capable of heating the room. Furthermore, the first fluid path can operate independently, with all indoor heat exchangers 3 serving as indoor evaporators in a fully cooling mode. The second fluid path can operate independently, with all indoor heat exchangers 3 serving as indoor condensers in a fully heating mode. The first flow path and the second flow path can work at the same time, and when the number of indoor evaporators is greater than the indoor condensers, it is the main cooling mode. When the number of indoor condensers is greater than the indoor evaporators, it is the main heating mode. Therefore, the air-conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a full cooling mode, a full heating mode, a main cooling mode, a main heating mode, etc. In these modes, the regulating valve 22 can be selectively opened to connect the enthalpy increase pipeline 101 to achieve enthalpy increase of the compressor, thereby improving the energy efficiency and performance of the compressor.
[0089] In some embodiments, the at least two indoor heat exchangers 3 include two, three, four or more indoor heat exchangers.
[0090] In some embodiments, the air-conditioning system further includes a third flow path and a fourth flow path in parallel, the third flow path fluid connecting at least one indoor heat exchanger 3 and the inlet of the compressor 1, the fourth flow path fluid connecting at least one indoor heat exchanger 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 2 and the inlet of the compressor 1, and the third flow path and the fourth flow path are configured to work selectively or simultaneously.
[0091] The third flow path can be connected to the first flow path to form a circulation loop, and the fourth flow path can be connected to the second flow path to form a circulation loop. The third flow path and the fourth flow path also represent fluid communication paths, not necessarily fixed pipelines, so they are not shown in the figure.
[0092] refer to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the air-conditioning system further includes a conversion unit 102. When at least one of the at least two indoor heat exchangers 3 is an indoor condenser and at least one of the indoor heat exchangers 3 is an indoor evaporator, the refrigerant of the indoor evaporator can flow to the indoor condenser through the conversion unit 102, or the refrigerant of the indoor condenser can flow to the indoor evaporator through the conversion unit 102.
[0093] In the main cooling mode, the refrigerant of the indoor evaporator flows to the indoor condenser through the conversion unit 102, which can recover the heat in the room that needs cooling and send it to the room that needs heating. The outdoor heat exchanger 2 is not used, reducing energy consumption.
[0094] In the main heating mode, the refrigerant of the indoor condenser flows to the indoor evaporator through the conversion unit 102, which can recover the coldness in the room that needs heating and send it to the room that needs cooling. The outdoor heat exchanger 2 is not used, reducing energy consumption.

[0097] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system further includes a pressurizing valve 7 , which is disposed on the first pipeline 11 .
[0098] During low-temperature cooling or minimum cooling, or low-load heating, the frequency of compressor 1 is low due to the low demand for cooling capacity. Therefore, insufficient power will be caused to drive the refrigerant circulation, which will result in low low-temperature cooling or minimum cooling, or low-load heating capacity.
[0099] Based on this, the first end of the first pipe 11 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is connected to the outlet of the compressor 1, and the second end of the first pipe 11 is connected to the liquid storage part 6. During low-temperature startup, for example: low-temperature refrigeration, minimum refrigeration or low-load heating, the pressurizing valve 7 is opened, the first pipe 11 is connected, and the first pipe 11 directly draws out the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the outlet of the compressor 1, and directly pressurizes and injects it into the liquid storage part 6, which is equivalent to shielding the pressure loss of the outdoor heat exchanger 2, providing greater flow power for the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage part 6, increasing the refrigerant flow to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and improving the refrigerant pushing capacity, thereby increasing the low-temperature startup speed, improving the ability of low-temperature refrigeration or minimum refrigeration, or low-load heating, and thus improving the operating capacity of the system.

[0131] The water-cooled plate heat exchanger exchanges heat with the refrigerant through circulating water.
[0132] The disclosed embodiment adopts a water-cooled plate heat exchanger.

[0157] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the refrigerant flow direction and function of the air-conditioning system when it is in full cooling mode and enthalpy is increased at the same time.
[0158] Main circuit: high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the outlet of compressor 1 -> oil-gas separator 8 -> first interface and second interface of the first control valve 4 -> outdoor heat exchanger 2 (function: condensation and heat release) -> third expansion valve 23 (state: fully open) -> liquid storage part 6 -> second pipeline 12 -> first branch 51 of subcooler 5 -> third pipeline 13 -> third valve 33 -> conversion unit 102 (function: to realize mode diversion of refrigerant, that is, to divert the cooling or heating refrigerant to the corresponding indoor unit) -> indoor heat exchanger 3 (function: evaporator, evaporation and heat absorption, lowering the indoor temperature) -> conversion unit 102 -> gas-liquid separator 9 -> the inlet of compressor 1 (compressor 1 performs the next compression cycle).
[0159] Pressurization branch: When low-temperature cooling or light-load heating is used, the pressurization valve 7 opens, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor 1 is directly pressed into the liquid storage part 6, providing greater flow power for the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage part 6, thereby achieving an increase in the mass flow rate of the indoor unit and ultimately improving the capacity at low load.
[0160] The refrigerant flowing out of the liquid storage member 6 is divided into two paths, one path flows to the first branch 51 of the subcooler 5 , and the other path passes through the first expansion valve 21 into the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 and then enters the fifth pipeline 15 .
[0161] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15. When the first valve 31 is closed, the refrigerant enters the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 and enters the enthalpy injection port of the compressor 1 through the regulating valve 22 to increase the enthalpy and improve the efficiency of the compressor 1.
[0162] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15 , the first valve 31 is opened, and the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 9 through the first valve 31 and then enters the inlet of the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 9 .
[0163] In the refrigeration enthalpy increase mode, since the enthalpy difference entering and exiting the indoor unit remains unchanged, although the refrigerant density will be slightly reduced due to the existence of the enthalpy increase pipeline, the mass flow rate will increase slightly or remain unchanged due to the increase in the refrigerant flow rate flowing into the indoor unit, and the enthalpy increase system will also increase the supercooling degree. At the same time, under the same target capacity, compressor 1 can achieve frequency reduction, which greatly increases the system power reduction and thus improves the refrigeration energy efficiency.
[0164] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the refrigerant flow direction and function when the air-conditioning system is in full heating mode and enthalpy is increased at the same time.
[0165] Main route: high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant at the outlet of compressor 1 -> oil-gas separator 8 -> second control valve 10 -> conversion unit 102 -> indoor heat exchanger 3 (function: condenser, condensation releases heat, increases indoor temperature) -> conversion unit 102 -> subcooler 5 -> liquid storage part 6 -> third expansion valve 23 (state: throttling and pressure reduction) -> outdoor heat exchanger 2 (function: evaporation and heat absorption) -> first control valve 4 -> gas-liquid separator 9 -> inlet of compressor 1 (compressor 1 performs the next compression cycle).
[0166] Pressurization branch: When low-temperature cooling or light-load heating is used, the pressurization valve 7 opens, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor 1 is directly pressed into the liquid storage part 6, providing greater flow power for the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage part 6, thereby achieving an increase in the mass flow rate of the indoor unit and ultimately improving the capacity at low load.
[0167] The refrigerant flowing out of the liquid storage member 6 is divided into two paths, one path flows to the first branch 51 of the subcooler 5 , and the other path passes through the first expansion valve 21 into the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 and then enters the fifth pipeline 15 .
[0168] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15. When the first valve 31 is closed, the refrigerant enters the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 and enters the enthalpy injection port of the compressor 1 through the regulating valve 22 to increase the enthalpy and improve the efficiency of the compressor 1.
[0169] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15 , the first valve 31 is opened, and the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 9 through the first valve 31 and then enters the inlet of the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 9 .
[0170] In the heating enthalpy increase mode, the subcooler 5 can increase the enthalpy difference between the evaporator inlet and outlet, increase the refrigerant flow at the compressor outlet, and improve the work done in the compression process, thereby significantly increasing the heating capacity of the system.
[0171] Refrigerant flow direction and function when heat recovery mode and enthalpy increase are simultaneously performed:
[0172] Main cooling:
[0173] Refrigeration indoor unit flow direction: compressor 1 -> first control valve 4 -> outdoor heat exchanger 2 -> third electronic expansion unit 23 -> liquid storage element 6 -> subcooler 5 -> conversion unit 102 -> indoor heat exchanger 3 for cooling -> conversion unit 102 -> fourth valve 34 -> gas-liquid separator 9 -> compressor 1 .
[0174] Flow direction of the heating indoor unit: compressor 1 -> second control valve 10 -> conversion unit 102 -> indoor heat exchanger 3 for heating -> conversion unit 102 (mixed with refrigerant from the liquid valve) -> indoor heat exchanger 3 for cooling -> conversion unit 102 -> fourth valve 34 -> gas-liquid separator 9 -> compressor 1.
[0175] Pressurization branch: When low-temperature cooling or light-load heating is used, the pressurization valve 7 opens, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor 1 is directly pressed into the liquid storage part 6, providing greater flow power for the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage part 6, thereby achieving an increase in the mass flow rate of the indoor unit and ultimately improving the capacity at low load.
[0176] The refrigerant flowing out of the liquid storage member 6 is divided into two paths, one path flows to the first branch 51 of the subcooler 5 , and the other path passes through the first expansion valve 21 into the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 and then enters the fifth pipeline 15 .
[0177] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15. When the first valve 31 is closed, the refrigerant enters the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 and enters the enthalpy injection port of the compressor 1 through the regulating valve 22 to increase the enthalpy and improve the efficiency of the compressor 1.
[0178] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15 , the first valve 31 is opened, and the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 9 through the first valve 31 and then enters the inlet of the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 9 .
[0179] like Figure 4 As shown, the main heating:
[0180] Flow direction of the heating indoor unit: compressor 1 -> second control valve 10 -> conversion unit 102 -> indoor heat exchanger 3 for heating -> conversion unit 102 -> subcooler 5 -> liquid storage element 6 -> third electronic expansion device 23 -> outdoor heat exchanger 2 -> first control valve 4 -> gas-liquid separator 9 -> compressor 1.
[0181] Refrigeration unit flow direction: refrigerant from the indoor heat exchanger 3 for heating -> conversion unit 102 -> indoor heat exchanger 3 for cooling -> conversion unit 102 -> fourth valve 34 -> gas-liquid separator 9 -> compressor 1 .
[0182] Pressurization branch: When low-temperature cooling or light-load heating is used, the pressurization valve 7 opens, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor 1 is directly pressed into the liquid storage part 6, providing greater flow power for the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage part 6, thereby achieving an increase in the mass flow rate of the indoor unit and ultimately improving the capacity at low load.
[0183] The refrigerant flowing out of the liquid storage member 6 is divided into two paths, one path flows to the first branch 51 of the subcooler 5 , and the other path passes through the first expansion valve 21 into the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 and then enters the fifth pipeline 15 .
[0184] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15. When the first valve 31 is closed, the refrigerant enters the enthalpy increasing pipeline 101 and enters the enthalpy injection port of the compressor 1 through the regulating valve 22 to increase the enthalpy and improve the efficiency of the compressor 1.
[0185] The refrigerant in the second branch 52 of the subcooler 5 flows to the fifth pipeline 15 , the first valve 31 is opened, and the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 9 through the first valve 31 and then enters the inlet of the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 9 .
[0186] Through the description of the above embodiments, the air conditioning system provided by the present disclosure can realize the full cooling mode and the full cooling mode, and also has:
[0187] Main cooling mode: Most indoor units can run in cooling mode, and a small number of indoor units can run in heating mode at the same time.
[0188] Main heating air conditioning system: Most indoor units can operate in heating mode, and a small number of indoor units can operate in cooling mode at the same time.
[0189] Full heat recovery mode: The number of indoor cooling units and indoor heating units is basically the same. At this time, the outdoor heat exchanger does not participate in the work. In this mode, some indoor heat exchangers serve as condensers and some indoor heat exchangers serve as evaporators, and the heat exchange capacity remains the same. The beneficial effect is that the heat exchange between different indoor rooms can be directly used to meet the needs of simultaneous cooling and heating.
[0190] In the three modes of full heat recovery mode, main cooling mode, and main heating mode, the system can utilize the energy exchange between different indoor rooms (such as a room is mainly used for cooling and another room is mainly used for heating. Therefore, the system can absorb heat from the cooling room, and through the vapor compression of the compressor, the low-level thermal energy is increased to high-level thermal energy, and then discharged to the indoor unit of the heating room to release heat). In this process, since the energy exchange mainly comes from indoor rooms of different modes, the energy exchange from the outside (outdoor or water source side) can be greatly reduced or eliminated, thereby reducing energy consumption (such as reducing the opening or operation of the cooling tower (when cooling) or the boiler (when heating) (including the water pump)). Therefore, the air-conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can further reduce the energy consumption of the entire system and improve energy saving.
