Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic direct-driven air source heat pumps, and in particular to a photovoltaic direct-driven air source injection-compression composite cycle heat pump cogeneration system. Technical Background
[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, hot water has become an indispensable part of homes and commercial facilities. In recent years, with the vigorous development of my country's energy conservation and carbon reduction efforts, hot water preparation equipment has gradually been replaced by renewable energy equipment instead of coal-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers. Among them, air energy is a renewable energy source with huge energy savings, cleanness and no pollution. Heat pump technology is considered to be the most effective way to utilize renewable low-temperature heat. Air source heat pumps have attracted widespread attention due to their high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection and safety. However, the development of air source heat pump technology is now relatively mature, and the energy conservation and efficiency improvement of traditional air source heat pump hot water systems have encountered bottlenecks. There is an urgent need to explore technical paths to improve the quality and efficiency of air source heat pump hot water systems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to break through the bottleneck of traditional air source heat pump water heating systems, effectively reduce the operating energy consumption of air source heat pump water heating systems, and significantly improve the performance of air source heat pump water heating systems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a photovoltaic direct-driven air source injection-compression combined cycle heat pump cogeneration system, the system comprising a refrigerant system, a hot water system, and a production / power supply system;
[0005] The refrigerant system mainly consists of a compressor 1, a one-way valve 2, a hot water heat exchanger 3, a two-phase ejector 4, a gas-liquid separator 5, an electronic expansion valve 6, an intercooler 7, and a finned heat exchanger 8. The outlet of the compressor 1 is connected to the one-way valve 2, the hot water heat exchanger 3, the two-phase ejector 4, and the gas-liquid separator 5 in sequence. The outlet of the compressor 1 is separated into two paths through the gas-liquid separator 5. One path is separated from the top of the gas-liquid separator 5 and connected to the inlet of the compressor 1 after merging with the outlet of the finned heat exchanger 8; the other path is separated into two paths from the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 5. One path is connected to the low-pressure inlet of the two-phase ejector 4 through the electronic expansion valve 6 and the intercooler 7, and the other path is connected to the inlet of the compressor 1 through the intercooler 7, the finned heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 5.

[0009] The hot water system mainly consists of a hot water heat exchanger 3 and a water pump 9. The water pump 9 is connected to the water side of the hot water heat exchanger 3 via a water pipeline.
[0010] The power generation / supply system mainly consists of a photovoltaic array 10, a DC converter 11, and an AC / DC inverter 12. The power generation / supply system is divided into two routes: one route connects the photovoltaic array 10 to the DC converter 11, and the other route connects the municipal power grid to the AC / DC inverter 12. The above two routes are connected to the compressor 1, the fan of the finned heat exchanger 8, and the water pump 9 after being combined through the outlet of the DC converter 11 and the outlet of the AC / DC inverter 12.

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a photovoltaic direct-driven air source injection-compression combined cycle heat pump cogeneration system includes a refrigerant system and a hot water system.
[0022] The refrigerant system mainly consists of a compressor 1, a one-way valve 2, a hot water heat exchanger 3, a two-phase ejector 4, a gas-liquid separator 5, an electronic expansion valve 6, an intercooler 7, a finned heat exchanger 8 and a refrigerant pipeline;
[0023] The hot water system mainly consists of a hot water heat exchanger 3 and a water pump 9 connected via a water pipeline;
[0024] The power generation / supply system mainly comprises a photovoltaic array 10, a DC converter 11, and an AC / DC inverter 12 connected via a circuit.
[0025] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic direct-driven air source injection-compression combined cycle heat pump cogeneration system, which can achieve cogeneration of heat and power and self-sufficiency in electricity.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the compressor 1, electronic expansion valve 6, and water pump 9 are turned on, the finned heat exchanger 8 is the evaporator, and the hot water heat exchanger 3 is the condenser. The working principle is as follows: the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 1 into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, enters the hot water heat exchanger 3 through the one-way valve 2, releases heat into the hot water system, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is then condensed into a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then enters the two-phase ejector 4 to eject the low-pressure gas and turn it into a medium-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and then passes through the gas-liquid separator 5 to separate it into saturated gaseous refrigerant and saturated liquid refrigerant. The saturated gaseous refrigerant merges with the superheated gaseous refrigerant at the outlet of the finned heat exchanger 8 and returns to the compressor 1. The saturated liquid refrigerant is split into two paths: one path is throttled and reduced in pressure by the electronic expansion valve 6 to become a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, which then absorbs heat in the intercooler 7 and becomes superheated refrigerant, which is then ejected into the two-phase ejector 4. The other path is cooled to a subcooled refrigerant after passing through the intercooler 7. It then enters the finned heat exchanger to absorb solar energy and air energy, boiling into a superheated gaseous refrigerant. After that, it merges with the saturated gaseous refrigerant separated by the gas-liquid separator 5 and returns to the compressor 1. Driven by the water pump 9, hot water enters the hot water heat exchanger 3 to absorb heat, thus circulating and being continuously heated. Furthermore, the photovoltaic array 10 converts solar energy into DC power, which is then converted to DC power of a specific voltage by a DC converter 11 for use in the system. If the power generated by the photovoltaic array 10 exceeds the system's power consumption, the surplus power is connected to the grid via an AC / DC inverter 12. If the power generated by the photovoltaic array 10 is less than the system's power consumption, the grid is converted to DC power of a specific voltage by an AC / DC inverter 12 for use in the system.
[0027] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
