Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of cold and hot water supply, and particularly to a prefabricated water tank energy storage air source heat pump cold and hot water system. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous progress of building technology, the requirements for cold and hot water supply systems are increasing. In the prior art, although the combination of water tank energy storage and air source heat pump shows energy-saving potential, the problem of cold and hot water mixing seriously restricts the system efficiency. Early patents such as CN2755510Y reduced mixing through a layered partition design, but the structure was fixed and the control of water flow disturbance was insufficient; CN104729341A further introduced a diversion partition and a water distributor to optimize stratification, but the complex structure led to difficult maintenance and poor adaptability to high-density temperature differences. Although the air source heat pump achieves high energy efficiency (COP≥3.5) through high-potential energy conversion, the traditional split system has significant energy efficiency decay due to frequent start and stop of the heat pump caused by water tank mixing. The inlet and outlet methods of the water tank also greatly affect the energy storage of the water tank and its combination with the air source heat pump system. Traditional designs often use a single inlet and outlet, resulting in uneven stratification of cold and hot water and low energy storage efficiency. Summary of the Invention
