[0022] S202. During heating, the working fluid at the outlet of the air cooler is transferred to the subcooler. The subcooled refrigerant flows through the throttling valve to reduce its pressure and is finally transferred to the evaporator for evaporation, thus completing the main cycle.

[0023] S203. In the auxiliary cycle, the subcooler acts as the evaporator of the subcooling cycle. The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator is drawn into the compressor and compressed. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant at the compressor outlet enters the condenser, condenses and releases heat, and then is transferred to the expansion valve for throttling and pressure reduction.

The heating medium and the hot water supply and return water are both configured with independent pipelines.

[0036] S404. When in defrost mode, the defrost solenoid valve is open and the electronic expansion valve is fully closed. The low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and becomes a high-temperature, high-pressure state. The high-temperature, high-pressure gas flowing out of the compressor becomes a low-pressure, high-temperature gas after being throttled by the defrost electronic valve. The high-temperature refrigerant releases heat inside the evaporator to heat the frost layer. The refrigerant returns to the compressor after releasing heat, and the frost layer on the fin surface gradually melts, thus achieving the defrost function.

[0037] S405. Install a defrosting electric heater. When using the electric heater for defrosting, the solenoid valve is closed, and the compressor and air cooler fan are stopped. The switch of the heating element is turned on to start defrosting.

When in defrost mode, the defrost solenoid valve is open and the electronic expansion valve is fully closed. The low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and becomes a high-temperature, high-pressure state. The high-temperature, high-pressure gas flowing out of the compressor becomes a low-pressure, high-temperature gas after being throttled by the defrost electronic valve. The high-temperature refrigerant releases heat inside the evaporator to heat the frost layer. The refrigerant returns to the compressor after releasing heat, and the frost layer on the fin surface gradually melts, thus achieving the defrost function. S405. Set up a defrosting electric heater. When using the electric heater for defrosting, the solenoid valve is closed, and the compressor and air cooler fan are stopped. The switch of the heating element is turned on to start defrosting.
