Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and more particularly to a heat pump evaporation device. Background Art

[0002] Due to the severe environmental changes, energy transformation has become an irreversible trend, and the heating energy consumption in building energy consumption is one of the main concerns of the energy crisis and environmental problems. Among them, as a heating device that forces heat to flow from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object in a reverse cycle manner, a heat pump is widely used because it can achieve a large heating capacity by consuming a small amount of input work.

[0003] The existing heat pump evaporation devices applied to large central air conditioners are mainly air-source heat pumps, which are widely used due to their advantages such as simple systems, safe and reliable operation, etc. However, they are easily affected by environmental meteorological parameters during operation. Specifically, in the low-temperature heating condition, the heat pump evaporation device cannot effectively absorb heat from the external air, resulting in a low heating coefficient and ineffective heating; at this time, the air flow rate and evaporation temperature at the position of the heat pump evaporator decrease, which is more unfavorable for the heat exchanger to absorb heat, further reducing the heating performance of the heat pump evaporation device at low temperatures.

[0004] At the same time, in the high-temperature refrigeration condition, the heat pump evaporation device is used as a condensing device. Since the outdoor air temperature is high at high temperatures, it is not conducive to dissipating the heat of the refrigerant in a high-temperature environment by means of air-source heat exchange, resulting in poor refrigeration effect; and the device is also prone to "thermal protection" due to excessive temperature, resulting in shutdown accidents or damage to the compressor, affecting the normal operation and service life of the device.

[0005] After retrieval, a Chinese invention patent application with the application number "CN202310176264.1" discloses a heat pump evaporation device, which includes a heat pump housing, two heat exchangers arranged opposite to each other in the heat pump housing, and a fan arranged on the top of the heat pump housing. It also includes two groups of spraying components for spraying water on the heat exchange surfaces of the corresponding heat exchangers, and a water supply component for supplying water to the spraying components. The spraying component includes two spraying plates and a plurality of water spraying holes. The two spraying plates are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the corresponding heat exchanger, and the water spraying holes are arranged on the side of the spraying plate facing the heat exchanger; the spraying plate is provided with a through portion for external air to enter the heat exchanger. The present invention has the advantages of improving the heat exchange efficiency and preventing the heat exchanger from frosting at low temperatures.

[0006] The above heat pump evaporation device realizes the heat exchange of the sprayed water and the external air participating in the heat exchanger by combining spraying and air circulation. However, when the above heat pump evaporation device sprays, it sprays as a whole, and the entire surface of the heat exchanger is wrapped with liquid, affecting the heat replacement of the air flow and unable to achieve the simultaneous action of the sprayed water and the external air, so the improvement of the heating effect and the refrigeration effect is not obvious.
