[0029] The present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 In the embodiments of the present application, a solution type variable frequency heat pump fresh air dehumidifier includes a cabinet 1, and the inside of the cabinet 1 is provided with a heat pump unit, a dehumidification unit and a regeneration unit.

[0034] The dehumidification unit comprises a core frame 301, an evaporator 306 and a dehumidification pump 307. The inside of the core frame 301 is provided with a core 302. The top of the core frame 301 is provided with a liquid distributor 303, which is located directly above the core 302, so that the solution falls uniformly into the solution channel of the core 302. The bottom of the core frame 301 is provided with a solution tank 304. The back of the core 302 is provided with a mist eliminator 305, which can effectively prevent liquid from being brought into the air-conditioned room by the wind.

[0035] The regeneration unit comprises a core frame 401, a condenser 406 and a regeneration pump 407. The inside of the core frame 401 is provided with a core 402. The top of the core frame 401 is provided with a liquid distributor 403, which is located directly above the core 402, so that the solution falls uniformly into the solution channel of the core 402. The bottom of the core frame 401 is provided with a solution tank 404. The back of the core 402 is provided with a mist eliminator 405, which can effectively prevent liquid from being brought into the air-conditioned room by the wind.

[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, the inside of the dehumidification channel is provided with a solution tank 501, a solution pump 502, a solution pump 503 and a compressor 504. The solution tank 501, the solution pump 502, the evaporator 306 and the dehumidification unit are sequentially connected in series by copper pipes to form a closed loop circuit. The solution tank 501, the solution pump 503, the condenser 406 and the regeneration unit are sequentially connected in series by copper pipes to form a closed loop circuit. The solution pump 502 and the solution pump 503 are selected to be magnetic force pumps. Since the transmission shaft does not need to penetrate into the pump shell, but uses the magnetic field to transmit torque through the air gap and the thin wall of the isolation sleeve to drive the inner rotor, the leakage channel of the shaft seal is fundamentally eliminated, and complete sealing is achieved. The magnetic force pump does not have the phenomenon of demagnetization aging over time under normal operating conditions.

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, the solution tank 304 is communicated with the solution tank 501 through the dehumidification pump 307. The solution in the solution tank 304 can be passed into the solution tank 501 through the dehumidification pump 307 for the next step of solution regeneration. The solution tank 404 is communicated with the solution tank 501 through the regeneration pump 407. The solution in the solution tank 404 can be passed into the solution tank 501 through the regeneration pump 407 for circulation. The condenser 406, the compressor 504 and the evaporator 306 are sequentially connected in series by copper pipes to form a closed loop circuit. The copper pipes are provided with expansion valves.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the core 302 and the core 402 are multi-piece structures, and a single-piece core is made of a PP-based non-woven fabric surface that is subjected to hydrophilic treatment, then is made into a wave shape by a corrugator at high temperature, and is stacked according to the core specifications. The solution is uniformly distributed on the core surface by a liquid distributor from top to bottom, and the treatment wind horizontally passes through the wave-shaped core. Due to the presence of the core, the wind has a certain resistance when passing through the core. When the wind speed of the core is less than 2 m / s, the wind resistance of the core is less than 150 pa, which is much smaller than the wind resistance of the runner. The initial wind resistance of the runner is about 400-500 pa. Therefore, after the solution is modified, the air volume will not decrease under the condition that the fan remains unchanged.

[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, the mist preventer 305 and the mist preventer 405 include a water baffle and a gas-liquid separator, and the gas-liquid separator is composed of multiple layers of nylon mesh. The solution on the core surface contacts with the treatment wind, so that heat and mass exchange occurs, and the desired results of dehumidification and regeneration are obtained. In order to prevent the wind from carrying the solution, two liquid resistance devices, a water baffle and a gas-liquid separator, are added behind the core. These two devices can effectively prevent liquid from being carried into the air conditioning room by the wind.

[0040] In use, the wet air passes through the evaporator 205 and the evaporator 206 in the heat pump unit, and contacts with the surfaces of the evaporator 205 and the evaporator 206. Since the surface temperature of the evaporator 205 and the evaporator 206 is lower than the dew point temperature of the wet air, the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets, which are collected in the condensate pan and then discharged, so that the temperature and the humidity content of the air passing through the evaporator 205 and the evaporator 206 are reduced, and then the air is dehumidified by the solution section. The fresh air is preliminarily cooled and dehumidified, and then enters the dehumidification unit to be further cooled and dehumidified to reach the supply air state point. In the dehumidification unit, the humidity control solution absorbs water vapor, and the concentration becomes dilute. In order to have the ability to absorb water again, the dilute solution enters the regeneration unit for concentration. The solution (LiCl or CaCl2) corresponds to a certain water vapor partial pressure at different temperatures and concentrations, while the air (wet air) also corresponds to a certain water vapor partial pressure at a certain water content. When the two meet, water transfer is triggered due to the imbalance of water vapor partial pressure.

[0041] In summer air conditioning cooling, according to refrigeration working condition, high pressure steam discharged by compressor one 201 and compressor two 202 enters condenser one 203 and condenser two 204, refrigerant steam is condensed into liquid, enters evaporator one 205 and evaporator two 206 through throttling device, absorbs heat in evaporator one 205 and evaporator two 206, and cools treated air, evaporated refrigerant steam is sucked into compressor two 202 by compressor one 201 after reversing valve, so as to realize refrigeration cycle; when environmental high temperature working condition, part of liquid refrigerant in liquid accumulator can be injected into compressor by opening electromagnetic valve to reduce internal working temperature of compressor and improve refrigeration system working condition; when spring and autumn season, heat and humidity load is small, but refrigeration system still needs to be started, part of high pressure refrigerant steam of compressor can be injected into evaporator by opening electromagnetic valve to ensure continuous operation of refrigeration system;

[0042] After outdoor fresh air is dehumidified by the above cooling and dehumidifying, the fresh air enters the dehumidifying unit for independent dehumidification. The solution is pumped out from the solution tank 501 by the solution pump one 502, and is cooled by heat exchange with the evaporator three 306, and is then sent into the liquid distributor one 303. The solution is uniformly distributed in the solution channel of the core one 302 by the liquid distributor one 303. The water in the air enters the solution channel under the action of the water vapor pressure difference on the wall surface of the air channel of the core one 302. At the same time, the air is cooled by the solution due to heat conduction. The air is treated into dry air and is sent into the room. The solution falls into the inside of the solution tank one 304, and is pumped into the solution tank 501 by the dehumidifying pump 307. The solution is pumped out from the solution tank 501 by the solution pump two 503, and is heated by heat exchange with the condenser three 406. The solution is then sent into the liquid distributor two 403. The solution is uniformly distributed in the solution channel of the core two 402 by the liquid distributor two 403. The water in the solution enters the air channel under the action of the water vapor pressure difference on the wall surface of the air channel of the core two 402. At the same time, the air is heated by the solution due to heat conduction. The air is treated into high temperature and humid air and is discharged. The solution is concentrated and regenerated.

[0043] In winter heating, the electromagnetic four-way reversing valve is turned to the heat pump working position. High pressure refrigerant steam discharged by the compressor one 201 and the compressor two 202 enters the evaporator one 205 and the evaporator two 206. The latent heat released when the refrigerant steam is condensed heats the treated air to achieve the purpose of heating and dehumidification. The condensed liquid refrigerant enters the condenser one 203 and the condenser two 204 from the reverse throttling device to absorb external heat and evaporate. The evaporated steam is sucked into the compressor one 201 and the compressor two 202 after the reversing valve to complete the heating cycle.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the above working condition, the system defrosting can be carried out in the following way, i.e. the high-pressure refrigerant steam discharged by the compressor one 201 and the compressor two 202 is filled into the condenser one 203 and the condenser two 204 to defrost, when the relative humidity of the process air is lower than the set requirement, the humidifier arranged at the rear of the condenser one 203 and the condenser two 204 is opened to adjust the humidity of the process air system to meet the process requirement.

[0045] The solution type variable frequency heat pump fresh air dehumidifier has the advantages of energy saving, high efficiency, safety and reliability, high stability, safety, simple operation and the like, can provide 100% healthy and clean fresh air, the advanced humidity treatment method avoids the humid surface caused by refrigeration dehumidification, prevents the breeding of mold and microorganisms on the air duct and coil surface, effectively removes bacteria and inhalable particulate matter through spraying solution, and purifies air. The structure can be designed as a whole or in parts, and is convenient to install on site.

[0046] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application; although the present application is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
