[0042] Series operation mode: When operating at high load, the cold water valve 19, the refrigerant valve 7, and the solution valve 11 are opened. The air source heat pump 100 drives the compressor 4 to generate refrigerant steam by using off-peak electricity and enters the condenser I 1.

According to the heat distribution principle of 3:2, the condensation heat generated by the air source heat pump 100 is used to provide heat for users by the air source heat pump 100 and the steam-type absorption heat pump 200 at the same time. Specifically, the condensation heat generated by the air source heat pump 100 is divided into two paths. 2 / 5 of the heat is used to provide the energy required for evaporation for the evaporator II 14 of the steam-type absorption heat pump 200, and 3 / 5 of the heat is directly mixed with the heated cooling water through the tee 21 and then enters the plate heat exchanger 17 to provide heat for users.
