Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an air conditioning refrigeration heating system and a method for operating the same, in particular to an air conditioning refrigeration heating system based on the siphon principle and a method for operating the same, and belongs to the technical field of industrial and civil air conditioning refrigeration heating. BACKGROUND

[0002] Modern people's life cannot be separated from refrigeration, and the most important application is air conditioning. From small household air conditioners to large central air conditioners in various public buildings, people have been accustomed to the comfort brought by these refrigeration air conditioning equipment. Not only life, but also production cannot be separated from refrigeration air conditioning. As long as production means consuming energy, energy consumption means heat production, heat production means heat dissipation, that is, refrigeration is needed, so refrigeration air conditioning has a wide range of applications in various industries of industrial production. It can be said that refrigeration air conditioning has become a necessity for human beings and is indispensable to the future development of human beings.

[0003] At present, there are many methods to achieve refrigeration, but only the vapor compression cycle refrigeration of liquid vaporization type occupies the absolute dominant position in the refrigeration industry due to its mature theory, large refrigeration capacity, high energy utilization rate and other characteristics. Other refrigeration methods (such as absorption type, adsorption type, vapor injection type, air expansion method, pulse tube type, vortex tube type, thermoelectric refrigeration, magnetic refrigeration, acoustic refrigeration, etc.) are limited in application range due to their performance characteristics, and are only used in a small amount in some special occasions.

[0004] Vapor compression cycle refrigeration was born in the 18th century. Its theoretical basis is the reverse Carnot cycle, and the main equipment consists of "four components", namely evaporator, compressor, condenser and throttle valve. The basic working principle is that the low-pressure refrigerant liquid is evaporated in the evaporator to absorb heat, and the heat absorbed comes from the refrigerated material (such as chilled water) flowing through the evaporator at the same time, so as to achieve refrigeration; The low-pressure refrigerant vapor evaporated in the evaporator is compressed into high-pressure refrigerant vapor by the compressor; then enters the condenser to condense and release heat, and the released heat is taken away by the cooling material (such as cooling water) flowing through the condenser at the same time; thereafter, the high-pressure refrigerant liquid after condensation is reduced in pressure by the throttle valve to become low-pressure refrigerant liquid again and enters the evaporator, thereby realizing the refrigeration cycle.

[0005] Although the vapor compression cycle refrigeration has been developed for nearly 200 years, the technology has been quite mature, and compared with other refrigeration methods, it also has the outstanding advantages of large refrigeration capacity and high energy efficiency, but it still has some deficiencies:

[0006] (1) Energy consumption is high: refrigeration energy consumption has become one of the most important components of national production energy consumption. Whether it is civil or industrial, as long as there is a refrigeration demand, the refrigeration system is generally one of the most important energy consumption sub-items of the user. For example, in general large public buildings, the energy consumption of air conditioning refrigeration in summer generally accounts for about half of the total building energy consumption in summer.

[0007] (2) Refrigerant damages the environment: the vapor compression cycle refrigeration method generally uses various types of freon as refrigerant, which either destroys the ozone layer or creates atmospheric greenhouse gases, causing serious environmental impact.

[0008] (3) High manufacturing requirements and high cost: although the basic components are "four refrigeration components", the manufacturing requirements of each component are high, and a large number of accessories and control systems make the refrigeration machine one of the most expensive equipment in the engineering field. At present, refrigeration machines are still dominated by foreign brands, and domestic brands have little competitiveness.

[0009] (4) Narrow refrigeration range: the refrigeration range of specific refrigeration machines is quite narrow. For example, a common water chiller can only provide 5-15℃ chilled water. If you want to exceed this range, you must replace the refrigerant or compressor. That is, for users with multiple working conditions, multiple refrigeration machines are often required, and these refrigeration machines cannot be used universally, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of the system and the construction cost.

[0010] (5) Low heating grade: the refrigeration process is to move heat from low temperature to high temperature, so the refrigeration machine is a heating machine by nature. The heat grade provided by the vapor compression cycle refrigeration is generally only about 60℃, which can only be used for heating or domestic hot water and a few other heat demands. For some users with higher heat grade demands (such as steam demand), in addition to configuring a refrigeration machine, they also need to configure a separate heating device such as a boiler.

[0011] In view of the deficiencies and shortcomings in the prior art, it is necessary to develop a new refrigeration mode for air conditioning refrigeration and heating field, so as to promote the entire refrigeration and heating industry and environmental protection. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] In order to better understand the present application, the structure, principle and working process of the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0052] Figure 1The overall structural principle schematic diagram of the air conditioning refrigeration and heat supply system based on the siphon principle provided by the application comprises a refrigerant water system, a refrigerant vapor system, an automatic water supplement device 11 and a liquid level adjusting device 34 for adjusting the refrigeration temperature; the refrigerant water system comprises a high-level water tank 4, a siphon starting pump 6, an evaporation container 1, a low-level water tank 3, a heat absorption device 22 for providing the heat required by the refrigerant evaporation and corresponding connecting pipelines; the water outlet at the bottom of the low-level water tank 3 is connected with the water inlet at the upper part of the high-level water tank 4 through a pipeline, and an internal circulating pump 5 is arranged on the pipeline; the siphon starting pump 6 is arranged on the connecting pipeline between the high-level water tank 4 and the evaporation container 1, the inlet pipeline of the siphon starting pump 6 is inserted below the liquid level in the high-level water tank 4, and the outlet pipeline of the siphon starting pump 6 is connected with the evaporation container 1; the pipeline from the evaporation container 1 to the low-level water tank 3 is inserted below the liquid level in the low-level water tank 3; an exhaust valve 8 is arranged at the top of the evaporation container 1; the refrigerant vapor system is sequentially connected with a vapor compressor 7, a vapor exhaust pipeline 31 and a vapor heat utilization unit 2 through pipelines, and a vapor exhaust valve 30 is arranged on the vapor exhaust pipeline 31; a vapor heat utilization unit switch valve 29 is arranged on the inlet pipeline of the vapor heat utilization unit 2.

[0053] The elevation difference h1 between the liquid level 21b of the high-level water tank and the gas-liquid interface 28 of the evaporation container 1 is generally 0-10.5 meters; the liquid level difference h2 between the high-level water tank and the low-level water tank is generally 1-10 meters. The greater h1 is, the lower the evaporation pressure of the refrigerant water in the evaporation container 1 is, and correspondingly, the lower the evaporation temperature is, that is, the lower the refrigeration temperature is. When h1 approaches 10.5 meters, the corresponding refrigeration temperature approaches 0℃. Conversely, the smaller h1 is, the higher the refrigeration temperature is. When h1 approaches 0 meter, the corresponding refrigeration temperature approaches 100℃. The liquid level difference h2 between the high-level water tank and the low-level water tank is used as the siphon driving force to overcome the along-path resistance between the high-level water tank 4 and the low-level water tank 3.

[0054] The liquid level adjusting device 34 described in the application can adopt a structure containing a liquid level meter and a variable volume air bag, and should be installed on the high-level water tank 4. By changing the volume of the air bag, the elevation difference h1 between the liquid level 21b of the high-level water tank and the gas-liquid interface 28 of the evaporation container is adjusted. With the change of h1, the pressure of the refrigerant water in the evaporation container changes, and then the evaporation temperature changes, that is, the purpose of adjusting the refrigeration temperature is achieved. In addition to the above structure, the liquid level adjusting device 34 can also adopt other types of structures.

[0055] In the system operation process, in order to supplement the water required by the evaporation of the refrigerant water in the evaporation container in time, the automatic water supplement device 11 should be installed in the system, and the automatic water supplement device is preferably installed on the low-level water tank 3, and can also be installed on the high-level water tank.

[0056] The heat absorption device 22 for providing heat required for evaporation of refrigerant according to the present application can be installed inside the evaporating vessel 1, the low-level water tank 3 or the high-level water tank 4 according to specific design, or be arranged on any connecting pipeline of the refrigerant water system, or be arranged above the high-level water tank. If the heat absorption device 22 is installed inside the evaporating vessel, the heat absorption device is preferably a tube-shell heat exchanger (as shown in Figure 1 ) integrated with the evaporating vessel; if the heat absorption device 22 is arranged inside the high-level water tank or the low-level water tank, the heat absorption device is preferably a floating disc tube heat exchanger (as shown in Figure 7 ); if the heat absorption device is arranged on any connecting pipeline of the refrigerant water system, the heat absorption device is preferably a plate heat exchanger (as shown in Figure 5 ), or the cold supply user is directly connected to the pipeline of the refrigerant water system as the heat absorption device (as shown in Figure 6 ); if the heat absorption device is arranged above the high-level water tank, the heat absorption device is a heat source tower taking heat from air (as shown in Figure 4 ). In Figure 1 , the heat absorption device 22 is installed inside the evaporating vessel 1, and a tube-shell heat exchanger integrated with the evaporating vessel is used, which is connected to the outlet water pipe and the inlet water pipe of the heat source of the heat absorption device through the heat absorption device inlet water pipe 9 and the heat absorption device outlet water pipe 10.

[0057] The heat source connected to the heat absorption device 22 can be underground water source, soil water source, surface water source, sewage source, other production or living waste heat water source or outdoor air; if the heat source connected to the heat absorption device is outdoor air, the system is an air source heat pump unit; if the heat source connected to the heat absorption device is chilled water from the cold supply user, the system is a combined cooling heating and power unit.

[0058] Figure 2 The system according to the present application is only a structural principle schematic diagram of a cold water unit, and one embodiment of the heat absorption device arranged inside the evaporating vessel, and Figure 1The difference between the structure of the system and the system of the first aspect of the application is that the system does not contain the steam heat utilization unit 2. The chiller unit comprises a refrigerant water system and a refrigerant steam system, an automatic water supplement device 11 and a liquid level regulating device 34 for regulating the refrigeration temperature; the refrigerant water system comprises a high-level water tank 4, a siphon starting pump 6, an evaporation vessel 1, a low-level water tank 3 and a heat absorption device 22 for providing the heat required for the evaporation of the refrigerant; the outlet of the low-level water tank 3 is connected to the upper inlet of the high-level water tank 4 through a pipeline, and an internal circulation pump 5 is arranged on the pipeline; the inlet pipeline of the siphon starting pump 6 is inserted below the liquid level in the high-level water tank 4, and the outlet pipeline thereof is connected to the evaporation vessel 1; the pipeline from the evaporation vessel 1 to the low-level water tank 3 is inserted below the liquid level in the low-level water tank 3; an exhaust valve 8 is arranged on the top of the evaporation vessel 1; the refrigerant steam system comprises a steam compressor 7, a steam exhaust pipeline 31 and a steam exhaust valve 30 arranged on the exhaust pipeline. The heat absorption device 22 is arranged inside the evaporation vessel 1, and the evaporation vessel 1 and the heat absorption device 22 are combined into a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

[0059] When the system starts as a water chiller, first connect the heat source of the heat absorption device 22, so that the heat absorption device in the refrigerant water system is in working condition; open the exhaust valve 8, start the siphon starting pump 6 and the internal circulating pump 5, wait until the air in the pipeline between the high-level water tank 4, the evaporation container 1 and the low-level water tank 3 is exhausted, and the pipeline is full of refrigerant water with a temperature of greater than 0℃ and less than 100℃, then close the exhaust valve 8 and the siphon starting pump 6, so that the refrigerant water in the pipeline flows under the action of siphon; use the automatic water supply device 11 and the internal circulating pump 5 to stabilize the liquid level difference h2 of the high-level water tank 4 and the low-level water tank 3, and the stable value is between 1-10 meters; according to the target refrigeration temperature, use the liquid level adjusting device 34 to adjust the elevation difference h1 of the liquid surface of the high-level water tank and the gas-liquid interface of the evaporation container within the range of 0-10.5 meters, h1 corresponds to the evaporation temperature one by one, the refrigerant water vaporizes under the negative pressure (-h1 meters of water column) corresponding to h1, and forms refrigerant water vapor, when h1 approaches 0 meters, the negative pressure value approaches 0 meters of water column, and the corresponding evaporation temperature approaches 100℃; when h1 approaches 10.5 meters, the negative pressure value approaches 10.5 meters of water column, and the corresponding evaporation temperature approaches 0℃; open the steam compressor 7, so that the refrigerant water vapor is pressurized under the action of the steam compressor, open the steam exhaust valve 30, and discharge the refrigerant water vapor into the atmosphere through the steam exhaust pipe 31; water as a refrigerant, the heat required for evaporation is provided by the heat absorption device 22 embedded in the evaporation container 1. The heat source (low-temperature heat source for refrigeration) connected to the heat absorption device 22 uses a water source, and the water in the water source exchanges heat with the refrigerant water, and as the refrigerant water evaporates, the temperature of the water from the water source decreases, forming chilled water for cold supply users, that is, the heat absorption device inlet water pipe 9 and the heat absorption device outlet water pipe 10 are respectively connected to the return water pipe and the water supply pipe of the chilled water of the cold supply user, thereby being used as a water chiller. Using water as a refrigerant, chilled water with a temperature greater than 0℃ and less than 100℃ can be obtained.

[0060] The above-mentioned water chiller based on the siphon principle can be used as a substitute product for various "water chillers" for refrigeration on the market, compared with conventional water chillers, has the advantages of simple structure (no condenser, cooling tower and other complex equipment and supporting systems), wide refrigeration temperature range, high theoretical efficiency, etc., and can also be used as a substitute product for the 0-100℃ cooling and heat removal system widely existing in the current industrial field, compared with general industrial heat removal systems, the water chiller has the advantages of wide water temperature adjustment range, convenient adjustment and independence from weather, etc., without the need for cooling towers and supporting systems.

[0061] Embodiment 1:

[0062] Taking the chilled water with a supply water temperature T cg =7℃ and a return water temperature T ch =12℃ as an example, the atmospheric pressure is taken as P o=0.101325MPa, heat exchange temperature difference dT between refrigerant water and chilled water e =1℃, under stable operating conditions, the main operating parameters of the chiller unit are determined as follows:

[0063] Evaporation temperature T of refrigerant water e : T e =T cg -dT e =7-1=6℃.

[0064] According to T e =6℃, referring to the "Charts of Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Water Vapor (Second Edition)" we can obtain: the vaporization pressure P of the refrigerant water. e =0.0009352MPa, latent heat of vaporization r e =2486.3kJ / kg, the enthalpy after vaporization is h e =2511.55kJ / kg; Since 1MPa is approximately equal to 103.36 meters of water column, the elevation difference h1 between the liquid level in the elevated water tank and the gas-liquid interface in the evaporator is = (P o -P e )*103.36=10.376 meters; the venting pressure of refrigerant water vapor P d To achieve a pressure of at least one standard atmosphere, let's assume a residual pressure of 5 kPa. Therefore: P d =P o +0.005 = 0.106325 MPa; according to P d The enthalpy h of refrigerant water vapor during venting can be obtained from the "Charts of Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Water Vapor (Second Edition)". d =2677.85kJ / kg.

[0065] Based on the above, the theoretical coefficient of performance (C) of the chiller unit can be calculated. ci :C ci =r e / (h d -h e =2486.3 / (2677.85-2511.55)=14.95; In contrast, according to the reverse Carnot cycle principle, the theoretical coefficient of performance (COP) of traditional vapor compression cycle refrigeration is C. ci_tra =(273.15+6) / (40-6)=8.21 (where “40” is the condensation temperature, which can be taken as a conventional value), and it can be seen that the difference between the two is obvious.

[0066] The water pressure (h2 meters of water column) corresponding to the liquid level difference h2 between the high-level and low-level water tanks is used to overcome the flow resistance of refrigerant water from the high-level to the low-level water tank. Figure 2The resistance includes the resistance of the pipe section between the high water tank and the evaporating vessel, the resistance in the evaporating vessel and the resistance of the pipe section between the evaporating vessel and the low water tank. The values of the resistances are 1 meter of water column, 3 meters of water column and 1 meter of water column respectively according to the conventional method, so the total resistance is 5 meters of water column, i.e. h2=5 meters.

[0067] Figure 3 Fig. 1 is a structural principle diagram of the system as a combined cooling and heating unit or a water source heat pump type heating unit, and Fig. 2 is a structural principle diagram of the system as a combined cooling and heating unit or a water source heat pump type heating unit, in which the heat absorbing device is arranged in the evaporating vessel according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The difference is that the steam heat utilization unit 2 is a necessary component in the system. The system includes a refrigerant water system and a refrigerant steam system, an automatic water supplement device 11 and a liquid level adjusting device 34 for adjusting the refrigeration temperature. The refrigerant water system includes a high water tank 4, a siphon starting pump 6, an evaporating vessel 1, a low water tank 3 and a heat absorbing device 22 for providing the heat required for the evaporation of the refrigerant. The bottom water outlet of the low water tank 3 is connected to the upper water inlet of the high water tank 4 through a pipe, in which an internal circulating pump 5 is arranged. The inlet pipe of the siphon starting pump 6 is inserted below the liquid surface in the high water tank 4, and the outlet pipe thereof is connected to the evaporating vessel 1. The pipe from the evaporating vessel 1 to the low water tank 3 is inserted below the liquid surface in the low water tank 3. An exhaust valve 8 is arranged at the top of the evaporating vessel 1. The refrigerant steam system includes a steam compressor 7, a steam exhaust pipe 31 and a steam heat utilization unit 2 in sequence. A steam exhaust valve 30 is arranged on the steam exhaust pipe, and a steam heat utilization unit switch valve 29 is arranged on the inlet pipe of the steam heat utilization unit 2. The heat absorbing device 22 is arranged in the evaporating vessel 1, and the evaporating vessel 1 and the heat absorbing device 22 are combined into a shell and tube heat exchanger.

[0068] When starting a combined cooling and heating unit based on the siphon principle or a water source heat pump type heating unit provided by this invention, first open the vent valve 8 and start the siphon start pump 6 and the internal circulation pump 5; after the air in the pipeline between the high-level water tank 4, the evaporator container 1, and the low-level water tank 3 is exhausted, and the pipeline is filled with refrigerant water at a temperature greater than 0℃ and less than 100℃, close the vent valve 8 and the siphon start pump 5, allowing the refrigerant water in the pipeline to flow under the siphon effect; at the same time, the automatic water replenishment device 11 and the internal circulation pump 5 are used to stabilize the liquid level difference h2 between the high-level water tank 4 and the low-level water tank 3, with the stable value between 1 and 10 meters; according to the heat source temperature of the heat absorption device 22, the liquid level of the high-level water tank is adjusted by the liquid level regulating device 34. The elevation difference h1 between the liquid level and the gas-liquid interface of the evaporator is within the range of 0-10.5 meters, causing the refrigerant water to vaporize under the negative pressure corresponding to h1, forming refrigerant water vapor. h1 corresponds one-to-one with the evaporation temperature; when h1 is close to 0 meters, the negative pressure is close to 0 meters of water column, and the corresponding evaporation temperature is close to 100℃; when h1 is close to 10.5 meters, the negative pressure is close to 10.5 meters of water column, and the corresponding evaporation temperature is close to 0℃. The steam compressor 7 is turned on, causing the refrigerant water vapor to be pressurized under the action of the steam compressor, and the steam vent valve 30 is closed. The steam heat utilization unit switch valve 29 is opened, allowing the vaporized and pressurized water vapor to be supplied to the steam heat utilization unit 2 for use as a heating unit or a combined cooling and heating unit. The heat required for the evaporation of water as a refrigerant is provided by the heat absorption device 22 embedded in the evaporator container 1. The heat source (low-temperature heat source for cooling) connected to the heat absorption device 22 is chilled water. That is, the inlet pipe 9 and outlet pipe 10 of the heat absorption device are respectively connected to the return pipe and supply pipe of the chilled water for the cooling user. The system can provide heat while producing chilled water at temperatures above 0°C and below 100°C, that is, providing heating water at 25°C to 95°C, or producing steam at 0.1MPa to 1.2MPa, or producing domestic hot water at 40°C to 70°C.

[0069] The aforementioned combined cooling and heating unit based on the siphon principle or a water source heat pump type heating unit can achieve various forms of heating while acting as a chiller. It not only has all the advantages described in Example 1, but also has the advantages of flexible heating methods and high heating quality. It can be used as a replacement for the "water source heat pump units" currently on the market for various purposes, and can also be used as a replacement for the 0 to 100°C cooling and heat dissipation systems that are currently widely used in the industrial field. It can also achieve efficient utilization of industrial waste heat while dissipating heat.

[0070] Example 2: Using the water supply temperature T cg =7℃, return water temperature T ch =12℃ chilled water, while using Figure 8c The steam heat utilization unit shown generates water supply temperature T. wg =50℃, return water temperature T wh=45℃ of domestic hot water, in this case, the refrigerant steam entering the steam heat utilization unit 2 first enters the hot water heat exchanger 18, exchanges heat with the domestic hot water, and then condenses, and is recycled. The temperature of the domestic hot water entering the hot water heat exchanger 18 is 45℃, and the temperature of the domestic hot water leaving the hot water heat exchanger 18 is 50℃; taking atmospheric pressure P o =0.101325MPa, the refrigerant water and the chilled water exchange temperature difference dT e =1℃, under stable working conditions, the main operating parameters of the cold and heat supply unit are determined as follows:

[0071] The evaporation temperature T e of the refrigerant water is T e =T cg -dT e =7-1=6℃.

[0072] According to T e =6℃, from the "Water and Water Vapor Thermodynamic Property Chart (Second Edition)", the refrigerant water vaporization pressure P e =0.0009352MPa, the vaporization latent heat r e =2486.3kJ / kg, and the enthalpy value after vaporization h e =2511.55kJ / kg can be obtained; because 1MPa is approximately equal to 103.36 meters of water column, the height difference h1 between the liquid level of the high-level water tank and the gas-liquid interface of the evaporation container is (P o -P e )*103.36=10.376 meters; the pressure P u of the refrigerant water steam entering the steam heat utilization unit needs to overcome the resistance of the hot water heat exchanger 18 in the steam heat utilization unit, and it is convenient to take 5kPa above atmospheric pressure, so P u =P o +0.005=0.106325MPa; according to the P u value, from the "Water and Water Vapor Thermodynamic Property Chart (Second Edition)", the enthalpy value h u of the refrigerant water steam entering the steam heat utilization unit is 2677.85kJ / kg.

[0073] According to the above, the theoretical refrigeration coefficient C ci of the cold and heat supply unit can be calculated as C ci =r e / (h d -h e )=2486.3 / (2677.85-2511.55)=14.95; accordingly, the theoretical heating coefficient C hi of the cold and heat supply unit is C ci=1 + 14.95 = 15.95; In contrast, according to the reverse Carnot cycle principle, the theoretical coefficient of performance (COP) of traditional vapor compression cycle refrigeration is C. ci_tra =(273.15+6) / (40-6)=8.21 (where "40" is the condensation temperature, taken as a conventional value), the theoretical coefficient of performance is C hi_tra =1+C ci_tra =1+8.21=9.21, so the difference between the two is obvious.

[0074] The water pressure (h2 meters of water column) corresponding to the liquid level difference h2 between the high-level and low-level water tanks is used to overcome the flow resistance of refrigerant water from the high-level to the low-level water tank. Figure 3 The structure shown includes the resistance of the pipe section between the high-level water tank and the evaporator, the resistance inside the evaporator, and the resistance of the pipe section between the evaporator and the low-level water tank. Let's assume that their values ​​are 1 meter water column, 3 meter water column, and 1 meter water column respectively. Thus, the total resistance is 5 meter water column, i.e., h2 = 5 meters.

[0075] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structural principle of the system described in this invention, which is an air-source heat pump type heating unit, with the heat absorption device employing a heat source tower positioned above a high-level water tank. This system is related to... Figure 3 The structural difference lies in the location of the heat absorption device 22, which is positioned above the elevated water tank and utilizes a heat source tower that extracts heat from the air. Within the heat source tower, the refrigerant water exchanges heat and moisture with the outdoor air, raising its temperature. It then flows into the elevated water tank 4 and, under siphon action, into the evaporator container 1. In the evaporator container 1, it vaporizes under a high negative pressure close to 0 MPa. The negative pressure steam is then pressurized by the steam compressor 7 to an absolute pressure above 0.101325 MPa and supplied to the steam heat utilization unit 2 to meet different heat load requirements. To prevent water from freezing, appropriate amounts of calcium chloride, sodium chloride, etc., can be added to the water used as refrigerant.

[0076] This invention discloses an air-source heat pump heating unit based on the siphon principle. Combined with different heating devices, it can meet various heat load demands, such as producing hot water circulation at temperatures above 25°C to 100°C; supplying domestic hot water at temperatures between 40°C and 70°C; and providing steam at absolute pressures between 0.1 MPa and 1.2 MPa. This air-source heat pump heating unit based on the siphon principle can serve as a replacement for commonly used air-source heat pumps and heat source tower heat pump systems. Compared with these traditional technologies, this invention has significant advantages such as high theoretical efficiency, simple structure, and no need for brine regeneration.

[0077] Example 3: With an outdoor air temperature of 7°C and a relative humidity of 70%, and simultaneously using... Figure 8a The steam heat utilization unit shown generates water supply temperature T. hg= 50℃, the temperature of the return water T hh = 40℃, in this case, the refrigerant steam entering the steam heat utilization unit 2 first enters the heating heat exchanger 12, exchanges heat with the heating circulating water and then condenses, and then is recycled, the temperature of the heating circulating water entering the heating heat exchanger 12 is 40℃, and the temperature of the heating circulating water leaving the heating heat exchanger 12 is 50℃. Take the atmospheric pressure P o = 0.101325MPa, under stable working conditions, the calculation method and specific values of the main operating parameters of the air source heat pump type heating unit are as follows:

[0078] The dew point temperature of outdoor air T l : According to the dry bulb temperature 7℃, the relative humidity is 70%, and the enthalpy-humidity diagram of wet air can be obtained: T l = 1.9℃.

[0079] The evaporation temperature of refrigerant water (i.e. the outlet water temperature of the heat source tower) T e : To ensure that the moisture in the outdoor air is totally condensed and heat is released, it is required that T e is lower than the dew point temperature of outdoor air, and it is convenient to take: T e = 1℃.

[0080] According to T e = 1℃, the "Water and Water Vapor Thermodynamic Property Chart (Second Edition)" can be consulted to obtain: the vaporization pressure of refrigerant water P e = 0.0006571MPa, the latent heat of vaporization r e = 2498.2kJ / kg, and the enthalpy value after vaporization h e = 2502.35kJ / kg; since 1MPa is approximately equal to 103.36 meters of water column, the elevation difference h1 between the liquid level of the high-level water tank and the gas-liquid interface of the evaporation container is (P o -P e )*103.36=10.4 meters; the pressure P u of the refrigerant water steam entering the steam heat utilization unit needs to overcome the resistance of the heating heat exchanger 12 in the steam heat utilization unit, and it is convenient to take more than 5kPa above atmospheric pressure, so: P u = P o +0.005=0.106325MPa; according to the P u value, the "Water and Water Vapor Thermodynamic Property Chart (Second Edition)" can be consulted to obtain the enthalpy value h u = 2677.85kJ / kg of the refrigerant water steam entering the steam heat utilization unit.

[0081] According to the above, the theoretical heating coefficient C hi of the air source heat pump unit can be calculated: C hi = 1+r e / ( hu -h e )=1+2498.2 / (2677.85-2502.35)=15.23; as a contrast, according to the principle of reverse Carnot cycle, the theoretical heating coefficient of a traditional air source heat pump is C hi_tra =1+(273.15+1) / (55-1)=6.08 (the condensing temperature must be greater than the heating water temperature, and it is convenient to take the value of 55℃), it can be seen that the difference is obvious.

[0082] The water pressure (h2meters of water column) corresponding to the liquid level difference h2 of the high-level water tank and the low-level water tank is used to overcome the flow resistance of the refrigerant water from the high-level water tank to the low-level water tank. According to the structure shown in Figure 4 , the resistance includes the pipe section resistance between the high-level water tank and the evaporating container, the resistance in the evaporating container, and the pipe section resistance between the evaporating container and the low-level water tank; it is convenient to take their values as 1 meter of water column, 1 meter of water column, and 1 meter of water column respectively, so the total resistance is 3 meters of water column, i.e. h2=3 meters.

[0083] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the structures of the systems are basically the same, except that the structures of the heat absorption devices 22 and the positions of the heat absorption devices 22 are different. The heat absorption device provides the heat required for the evaporation of the refrigerant water, and the heat provided by the heat absorption device comes from the heat source connected to it, such as chilled water, outdoor air, various water sources (groundwater sources, soil sources, surface water sources, sewage sources, and waste heat water sources of production or life, etc.), which can be installed at different positions of the above-mentioned system according to different application requirements, and can adopt various specific forms.

[0084] Figure 8a-8d are the structural principle diagrams of the steam heat utilization unit as a heating unit, a steam supply unit, a domestic hot water supply unit, and a domestic hot water supply unit, respectively.

The inlet and outlet ports of the other side of the heating heat exchanger 12 are connected to the heating water inlet pipe 13 and the heating water outlet pipe 14, respectively. Various water temperatures required for common heating can be obtained, i.e. heating water with a temperature of 25℃ to 95℃.

[0086] When the steam heat utilization unit 2 is used as a steam supply unit 24 (as shown in Figure 8bWhen the steam heat utilization unit 2 is used as a steam supply unit 16 (as shown in Fig. 1), the water vapor discharged from the steam compressor 7 is connected to the steam supply compressor 16, and the steam compressor 7 is compressed to the required steam pressure and temperature by the steam supply compressor 16, and is supplied to the steam user through the steam supply pipe 17. The steam with a pressure of 0.1 MPa to 1.2 MPa can be produced.

[0087] When the steam heat utilization unit 2 is used as a domestic hot water supply unit 25 (as shown in Fig. 2), in the domestic hot water supply unit 25, the water vapor discharged from the steam compressor 7 is connected to the hot water heat exchanger 18, and the condensed water after heat exchange is introduced into the condensed water recovery device 15 for recycling. The other side of the hot water heat exchanger 18 is connected to the domestic hot water inlet pipe 19 and the domestic hot water outlet pipe 20, respectively, and the typical working condition is that the inlet water temperature is 45°C and the outlet water temperature is 50°C. Figure 8c

[0088] When the steam heat utilization unit 2 is used as a domestic hot water supply unit 26 (as shown in Fig. 3), the domestic hot water supply unit 26 can supply domestic hot water and can also provide other uses of 25-100°C hot water. In the domestic hot water supply unit 26, the water vapor discharged from the steam compressor 7 is connected to the heat preservation water spraying chamber 27, and is mixed with the domestic hot water from the domestic hot water inlet pipe 19 and is supplied to the domestic hot water user through the domestic hot water outlet pipe 20. The heat preservation water spraying chamber 27 needs to be provided with an automatic water supplementing device 11. The mixing water ratio is determined by the required domestic hot water temperature. Figure 8d

[0089] The components in the system described in the above figures and each embodiment are all conventional devices, and multiple parallel or series operation can be configured according to the requirements. Among them, the steam compressor 7 and the steam supply compressor 16 can be electrically driven centrifugal, screw type, etc., or can be non-electrically driven forms such as steam jet pump.​​
