Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air source heat pump systems, and in particular to a control method for heat energy recovery and reuse in air source heat pump systems. Background Art
[0002] Heat pump technology has been widely used in various fields of life and production. Heat pump products such as heat pump air conditioners, heat pump water heaters, heat pump dryers, and automotive heat pumps meet diverse user needs. The operating principle of heat pump air conditioners is based on the reverse Carnot cycle in thermodynamics. The heating process begins in the evaporator, where a low-temperature liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the surrounding environment and evaporates into a gas. During this process, heat from the external heat source is extracted and transferred to the refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor, where its pressure and temperature are significantly increased. Mechanical energy is used to compress the refrigerant, raising its temperature and turning it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This high-temperature, high-pressure gas is then transported to the condenser, where it releases heat, which can be used for indoor heating or hot water supply. As the refrigerant cools, it condenses and transforms into a liquid. It then enters the expansion valve, which controls the refrigerant's flow and rapidly reduces its pressure. This decrease in pressure also lowers the temperature of the liquid refrigerant, preparing it for the next round of heat extraction in the evaporator. The cooling process is the opposite, absorbing heat from the room and dissipating it outdoors.
[0003] In addition to electricity, heat pumps can also be driven by fuel-burning engines. Currently, most heat pump air conditioners on the market can only meet the needs of cooling or heating simultaneously. To use hot water, additional hot water equipment such as boilers, electric water heaters, or heat pump water heaters is required. Even though a small number of heat pump air conditioners can produce a small amount of hot water while cooling or heating, they are limited in production due to low hot water output, high energy consumption, and poor reliability. Furthermore, due to the influence of the refrigerant medium and outdoor temperature, hot water production at ultra-low temperatures consumes high energy and reaches low temperatures, making it difficult to meet daily usage requirements.
[0004] A wide-temperature-range air-source heat pump is a system that uses an engine to drive a compressor to achieve a cooling / heating cycle. The mechanical efficiency of the engine-driven compressor is only around 35%, with the remaining 65% of the energy being stored as heat. By recovering waste heat, this energy can be used to produce hot water, with temperatures reaching up to 80°C. While existing heat pumps can simultaneously generate domestic hot water while providing cooling / heating, there are no wide-temperature-range air-source heat pumps that effectively utilize engine waste heat to provide cooling, heating, ultra-low-temperature heating, and domestic hot water. Furthermore, when only cooling is required, the engine's waste heat is dissipated into the air to maintain the engine's operating temperature within a reasonable range. This waste heat contributes nothing to cooling and is wasted. The mechanical efficiency of the engine-driven compressor is only around 35%, with the remaining 65% being stored as heat. Current heat pumps fail to effectively utilize this heat, particularly during cooling operations, resulting in a waste of resources.
[0005] The low-temperature absorption refrigeration module is the primary component of an absorption chiller. This system utilizes the absorption / desorption properties of different substances for the refrigerant, replacing the compressor used in traditional compression refrigeration to achieve heat transfer. The main components include a generator, condenser, evaporator, and absorber. Refrigerants are typically volatile substances with high latent heat of vaporization, such as ammonia or water. The refrigerant is responsible for transferring heat during the cycle. The absorbent is a substance that strongly absorbs the refrigerant and has a significant difference in boiling point from the refrigerant, facilitating separation. Taking the "lithium bromide-water" absorption chiller as an example, water is the refrigerant and lithium bromide solution is the absorbent. The lithium bromide solution with a low concentration enters the generator and is heated by an external heat source. The high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor generated in the generator enters the condenser, exchanges heat with the cooling water, releases heat, and cools and liquefies to become high-pressure liquid water; the high-pressure liquid water is reduced in pressure by the throttle valve and enters the evaporator. Under the low-pressure environment, the liquid water quickly evaporates into water vapor. The evaporation process absorbs heat from the surrounding medium, lowering the temperature of the chilled water. Finally, the cold is sent into the room through the fan to achieve refrigeration; the dilute solution is pressurized by the solution pump and then sent back to the generator to complete the entire cycle.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the wide temperature range air source heat pump waste heat efficient utilization system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred specific embodiments of the present invention.
[0015] Reference Figure 1As shown in the , the present invention discloses a wide temperature range air source heat pump waste heat efficient utilization system, which, in addition to including a heat pump device for cooling or heating and an engine for driving the heat pump device, also includes a low-temperature absorption refrigeration module for absorbing engine waste heat for cooling, a hot water heat exchange system for heat exchange using system heat, and a control system for controlling the operation of the heat pump device, the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module, the engine and the hot water heat exchange system.
[0016] The principle of low-temperature absorption refrigeration module for cooling air-conditioning water is different from the refrigeration principle of heat pump device that consumes mechanical energy by using vapor compression refrigerator. Instead, it absorbs the waste heat of the engine. The absorbent solution with lower concentration enters the generator and is heated by the cooling water that absorbs the waste heat of the engine. The high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor generated in the generator enters the condenser, releases heat and is cooled and liquefied to become high-pressure liquid water; the high-pressure liquid water is reduced in pressure by the throttle valve and enters the evaporator. Under the low-pressure environment, the liquid water quickly evaporates into water vapor. The evaporation process absorbs the heat of the air-conditioning water, which reduces the temperature of the air-conditioning water. Finally, the cold energy is sent into the room through the fan to achieve refrigeration; the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module is only turned on when the heat pump device is in the cooling operation state.
[0017] The hot water heat exchange system includes a cylinder water heat exchanger arranged outside the engine cylinder liner, an exhaust gas heat energy heat exchanger PHE5 arranged on the engine exhaust pipe, a domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3 for providing heat exchange for domestic water, a heating water heat exchanger PHE2 for heat exchange of heating water, a radiator for providing heat dissipation for the engine circulating water, and an engine cooling water pump for driving the engine cooling water to circulate through the radiator, or through the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3, or through the heating water heat exchanger PHE2 and the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module. The hot water heat exchange system also includes a first thermostat, a second thermostat, a third solenoid valve, a second solenoid valve, a fifth solenoid valve and a sixth solenoid valve; wherein, the first thermostat is arranged between the cylinder jacket water heat exchanger and the radiator, and when the engine cooling water is greater than a preset value M, the engine cooling water is opened to circulate through the radiator; the second thermostat is arranged at the inlet connected to the first thermostat, one of the outlets is directly connected to the cylinder jacket water heat exchanger through the engine cooling water pump and the exhaust gas heat energy heat exchanger PHE5, and the other outlet is connected to the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3 and the heating water heat exchanger PHE2; when the engine cooling water is lower than the preset value N, the cylinder jacket water heat exchanger output The engine cooling water is driven by the engine cooling water pump and directly returns to the exhaust gas heat energy exchanger PHE5 through the first thermostat and the second thermostat without heat recovery; when the engine cooling water is higher than the preset value N, the engine cooling water entering from the second thermostat inlet is subjected to heat energy recovery in the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3, the heating water heat exchanger PHE2 or the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module; the third solenoid valve controls the waste heat inlet of the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3; the second solenoid valve controls the water inlet of the heating water heat exchanger PHE2; the fifth solenoid valve and the sixth solenoid valve are connected to control the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module to access or exit the engine cooling water circulation pipeline.
[0018] In order to ensure that the heat pump device of the present invention can operate reliably and stably in a low temperature environment below -10°C, the hot water heat exchange system also includes a refrigerant heat exchanger PHE4 connected in parallel with the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3 and the heating water heat exchanger PHE2 for heat exchange with the refrigerant of the heat pump device. A fourth solenoid valve SV4 is provided at the inlet of the refrigerant heat exchanger PHE4. When the fourth solenoid valve SV4 is open, the cooling water that absorbs the waste heat of the engine will enter the refrigerant heat exchanger PHE4 and exchange heat with the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant of the heat pump device to increase the low-pressure pressure of the system.
[0019] The operating principle of the wide temperature range air source heat pump waste heat efficient utilization system of the present invention is that during the operation of the engine, the engine cooling water pump provides power for the engine cooling water circulation, and the engine cooling water recovers the engine cylinder liner waste heat in the cylinder liner water heat exchanger, and then passes through the first thermostat 1. If the cooling water temperature is greater than or equal to 83°C, the flow path from the first thermostat 1 to the radiator is opened, and the flow path to the second thermostat 2 is closed. The cooling water flows through the radiator and is cooled by the cooling fan, and then flows to the exhaust gas heat energy heat exchanger PHE5 to recover the waste heat in the engine exhaust gas, and finally returns to the cylinder liner water heat exchanger to complete the cycle. If the cooling water temperature is less than 83°C, the flow path from the first thermostat 1 to the second thermostat 2 is opened, and the flow path to the radiator is closed; if the cooling water temperature flowing to the second thermostat 2 is lower than 71°C, in order to ensure the high thermal efficiency of the engine, the waste heat recovery is not performed, the flow path from the second thermostat 2 to the exhaust gas heat exchanger PHE5 is opened, and the flow paths to the heating water heat exchanger PHE2, the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3 and the refrigerant heat exchanger PHE4 are all closed, and the cooling water flows directly to the exhaust gas heat exchanger PHE5 to recover the waste heat in the engine exhaust gas, and finally returns to the cylinder jacket water heat exchanger to complete the cycle. If the temperature of the cooling water flowing to the second thermostat 2 is greater than or equal to 71°C, the flow path from the second thermostat 2 to the heating water heat exchanger PHE2, the domestic hot water heat exchanger PHE3 and the refrigerant heat exchanger PHE4 is opened as needed, and the waste heat is recovered and utilized according to different operating modes of the heat pump. The cooling water with the recovered waste heat is then passed to the exhaust gas heat energy heat exchanger PHE5 to recover the waste heat in the engine exhaust gas again, and finally returns to the cylinder jacket water heat exchanger to complete the cycle.

After that, the engine is started and the heat pump device enters normal cooling mode and starts running. When the engine starts and runs until the cooling water temperature Tliq ≥ 71°C for 60 seconds, the fifth solenoid valve SV5 opens. After 5 seconds, the sixth solenoid valve SV6 closes. After the fifth solenoid valve SV5 opens for 10 seconds, the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module starts running. During the operation, the output load is normally adjusted according to the following control: (1) 71℃≤Tliq<75℃, low-temperature absorption refrigeration module output load 50%; (2) 75℃≤Tliq<80℃, the output load of the low-temperature absorption refrigeration module is 75%; (3) Tliq ≥ 80℃, low-temperature absorption refrigeration module output load 100%; (4) Tliq < 71°C for 120 seconds, low-temperature absorption refrigeration module output load 0%; When the system is in standby mode or shut down, the heat pump device is shut down in normal cooling mode.
