[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] The embodiment of the present application provides an electric heat pump coupling application to solve the problem that when the flow allocated by the pipeline distribution company to the second thermal power company has reached its peak, the problem of insufficient heat source will become increasingly serious, ultimately leading to insufficient heating for residents and difficulty in meeting regional load development.
[0018] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0019] The embodiment of the present invention discloses an electric heat pump coupling application.
[0020] According to the attached Figure 1-2 As shown,
[0021] It includes a secondary low-zone pipe for residents, a plate heat exchanger is arranged next to the secondary low-zone pipe for residents, and an electric heat pump is also arranged next to the secondary low-zone pipe for residents, wherein the plate heat exchanger is used to provide main heating for the secondary low-zone pipe for residents, wherein the electric heat pump is used to provide auxiliary heating for the secondary low-zone pipe for residents, the electric heat pump includes a condenser and an evaporator, the condenser is used to provide heating for the secondary low-zone pipe for residents, and the evaporator is used to absorb external heat, for the pipe network side, return water is extracted from the return pipe of the primary network, as chilled water for the heat pump, enters the electric compression heat pump, and is sent back to the return pipe of the primary network after the temperature is reduced (≤20℃), and is mixed with water and then transported back to the heat source, the secondary side circulating water of the heat user enters the condenser side of the heat pump as cooling water for the heat pump unit, and is output to the secondary side water supply pipe after the condenser is heated, and finally output to the heat user to meet the heating needs of the heat user.
[0022] The electric heat pump is also provided with an expansion valve and a compressor. The expansion valve is arranged between the condenser and the evaporator, and the compressor is arranged between the evaporator and the condenser. A pipe loop is connected between the expansion valve, the compressor, the condenser and the evaporator. Refrigerant flows in the pipe loop. The refrigerant outputs heat in the condenser and inputs heat in the evaporator. The refrigerant has a phase change in the pipe loop. A primary network return water side pipe is arranged on one side of the electric heat pump evaporator. A connecting pipe is arranged on the input end of the primary network return water side pipe. A mixing water pump is arranged on the connecting pipe. The heat in the primary network return water side pipe is transferred to the refrigerant through the evaporator to complete the heat input. In the internal circulation of the electric compression heat pump, the refrigerant After passing through the electrically driven compressor, it becomes high-temperature and high-pressure working fluid steam. The working fluid steam releases heat to the cooling water in the condenser and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. After passing through the throttling device, it enters the gas-liquid coexistence phase. The gas-liquid coexistence phase enters the evaporator and absorbs heat from the chilled water to become low-temperature and low-pressure steam. The low-temperature and low-pressure steam finally enters the compressor to complete the entire cycle. For the electric compression heat pump, the primary network return water is extracted as the chilled water of the unit, and the primary network return water is used as the low-temperature heat source to extract heat from it, thereby reducing the primary network return water temperature. The secondary network return water transported to the heat users is used as the cooling water of the unit, and the temperature is increased in the condenser to form a secondary network as a high-temperature heat source, which outputs heat to its heat users to meet the heating needs of the heat users.
[0023] A solenoid valve is also provided outside the electric heat pump. The solenoid valve is used to control the heat output of the electric heat pump. At this time, if the plate exchanger and the heat pump are used for joint heating, after the secondary side low-zone return water main pipe is extracted from the branch line, the main return water still uses the original pipeline to enter the low-zone plate exchanger, and is heated by the municipal primary hot water and then supplied along the secondary water supply main pipe. When the plate exchanger system is used for separate heating, the solenoid valves entering the heat pump evaporator and condenser are closed, and the bypass valves are opened, so that the original plate exchanger heating system is used for separate heating. When the heat pump system is used for separate heating, it is necessary to adjust and close the bypass valves, open the evaporator side and condenser side valves, and close the electric regulating valve installed on the secondary water supply outlet side of the plate exchanger. At this time, the secondary side circulation flow completely enters the heat pump condenser, thereby realizing separate heating by the heat pump. However, due to the low actual operating flow on the primary side of this project, the heat pump cannot meet the heat load requirements of low-zone heat users when it is used for separate heating. Therefore, the heat pump is not used for separate heating in this project.
[0024] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] The electric heat pump coupling application uses the primary network return water as the low-temperature heat source and adopts a high-efficiency electric compression heat pump device to reduce the primary network return water temperature to below 20°C, further extract the primary hot water energy, and work with the plate heat exchanger to heat the secondary side low-zone pipes of residents. On the basis of tapping the potential of the primary network, it realizes demand balance control for energy saving and consumption reduction, maximizes the use of the primary network heat source, expands the heating capacity of the pipe network, realizes supply and demand balance, and solves some problems of insufficient heat source.
