[0031] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe some embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0032] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" are intended to indicate that the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.
[0033] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0034] When describing some embodiments, the expressions "coupled" and "connected" and their derivatives may be used. The term "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates, for example, that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that are not in direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents of this document.
[0035] “A and / or B” includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.
[0036] The use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein is intended to be open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices adapted or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.
[0037] Additionally, the use of “based on” is meant to be open and inclusive, as a process, step, calculation, or other action “based on” one or more stated conditions or values may, in practice, be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.
[0038] The air conditioner of the present application performs a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to cool or heat the indoor space.
[0039] Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, releasing heat into the surrounding environment through the condensation process.
[0040] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser to a lower-pressure liquid. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves cooling by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout this cycle, the air conditioner regulates the temperature of the indoor space.
[0041] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to a portion of a refrigeration cycle including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve may be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
[0042] The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger function as a condenser or an evaporator. When the indoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser, the air conditioner functions as a heater in heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger functions as an evaporator, the air conditioner functions as a cooler in cooling mode.
[0043] A water-source VRF system (water-source unit) combines water-source heat pump technology with an air-source VRF system. Similar to water-source heat pump systems, the cooling and heating sources use water as the energy transport medium. Similar to VRF systems, the indoor cooling and heating sources use refrigerant as the energy transport medium. Water-source VRF systems typically use groundwater, surface water, or other sources.
[0044] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an outdoor unit of a related art multifunctional water source multi-split system; FIG2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a related art multifunctional water source multi-split system.
[0045] In the related art, the outdoor unit of a water source unit, as shown in FIG1 , is typically equipped with only an outdoor plate heat exchanger 1A, which serves as a water source side heat exchanger. One of the flow channels of the outdoor plate heat exchanger 1A is a refrigerant flow channel, and the other is a water flow channel. Heat exchange between the refrigerant and water is achieved in the outdoor plate heat exchanger 1A, thereby achieving the cooling / heating function of the air conditioner. The arrow in FIG1 indicates the direction of water flow. Referring to FIG2 , if the related art water source unit is to achieve other functions, such as producing cold / hot water, a separate indoor unit 2A is required. The indoor unit is equipped with an indoor plate heat exchanger 3A configured to exchange heat with the refrigerant to produce cold / hot water, and output the cold / hot water to the user. As shown in FIG1 , if the related art water source unit is to produce cold / hot water, the indoor unit 2A must be turned on, which requires that the user side must be equipped with the indoor unit 2A. This has high limitations in use and is not applicable to disclosures that do not include an indoor unit. The cost is high, and it cannot achieve heat recovery to produce hot water.
[0046] Based on this, the present application provides an outdoor unit and a water source multi-split system, which can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the related art.
