Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cogeneration, and in particular relates to a novel solar-coupled air-water dual-source heat pump system based on thermal diodes. Background Art

[0002] With the intensification of the global energy crisis and the increasing demand for low-carbon environmental protection, the multi-energy complementary system of heating, cooling and electricity supply has gradually become an important development direction in the field of energy utilization. Traditional heating systems usually rely on a single energy source, such as coal, natural gas or electricity. This method not only has low energy utilization efficiency, but is also easily affected by energy price fluctuations and unstable supply. In addition, in areas with complex climatic conditions, the operating efficiency of the heating system is often limited by changes in ambient temperature. Especially in cold areas or on cloudy days, the energy efficiency of the heating system drops significantly, making it difficult to meet the heating needs of users.

[0003] In recent years, solar energy, as a renewable and clean energy source, has been increasingly used in the field of heating. Solar photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PVT) modules can not only provide clean electricity, but also provide heat sources for heat pumps through photothermal conversion. However, solar energy resources are intermittent and volatile, and heating systems that rely solely on solar energy still have deficiencies in the stability of energy supply. Therefore, a coupled heating system combining multiple heat sources, such as air source heat pumps and water source heat pumps, can achieve a more stable energy supply. However, the design of existing multi-source heat pump systems still has technical bottlenecks in terms of heat source switching efficiency and heat energy transfer losses.
