Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of compression heat pumps, and more particularly to a high-temperature heat pump system with a parallel condenser cascade heat extraction mode. Background Technology
[0002] Existing compression heat pump systems typically use a single condenser for heat exchange, condensing the exhaust gas from the two-stage compression process. Because all compressed exhaust gas enters the condenser under high temperature and pressure, the condensation pressure is too high, resulting in insufficient utilization of the temperature difference at the condensation heat exchange end. This limits the release of condensation heat, leading to low system energy efficiency.
[0003] On the other hand, the hot water on the water side is heated only once in a single condenser, resulting in insufficient utilization of the temperature gradient and poor matching between the hot water quality and the temperature rise process, making it difficult to meet the demand for efficient heating. At the same time, as an important component for intermediate liquid injection cooling, if the driving fluid of the ejector lacks sufficient subcooling, it will lead to insufficient nozzle driving force and reduced ejection performance, making it difficult to effectively control the compressor exhaust temperature.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a new "dual condenser parallel + ejector cooling" structure that can handle the primary and secondary compressed exhaust separately, forming a staged condensation and heat extraction mode under dual condensation pressure. At the same time, it can be combined with ejectors to achieve high-performance intermediate liquid spray cooling, so as to solve the problems of low heat exchange efficiency of existing single condensers, poor hot water temperature matching, insufficient jet cooling performance and limited system energy efficiency.

[0060] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:
[0061] This application, through the parallel arrangement of dual condensers, can output the condensation heat released by high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust and low-temperature exhaust in stages to the condenser side water circuit according to different temperature ranges, thereby realizing the gradual heating of hot water, improving the temperature matching at the hot water end, increasing the utilization rate of the end temperature difference, and ensuring the quality of hot water and the energy efficiency of the system.
[0062] This invention reduces system condensation pressure and minimizes irreversible cycle losses through independent condensation and staged heat extraction, while simultaneously improving jet cooling efficiency. This results in a more rational overall thermodynamic cycle and a significantly improved coefficient of performance (COP). Furthermore, the heat exchange area of the parallel dual condensers can be flexibly adjusted according to operating conditions, ensuring efficient system operation even under complex conditions such as low temperatures and high loads.
[0063] This application, through the dynamic distribution of steam flow between the two condensers, enables the system to have higher adaptability to operating conditions and maintain stable and efficient operation under low temperature environment and high hot water load conditions.
[0064] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows:
[0065] The refrigerant exiting from the first condenser 1, after releasing heat, decreases in temperature and becomes the main working medium of the first ejector 10. It then passes through the main nozzle of the first ejector 10 and becomes a high-speed, low-pressure fluid, used to entrain a stream of gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 4. The two streams of fluid mix in the first ejector 10 and are then diffused before being injected into the first injection buffer tank 7. The refrigerant exiting from the second condenser 2, after releasing heat, decreases in temperature and becomes the main working medium of the second ejector 11. It then passes through the main nozzle of the second ejector 11 and becomes a high-speed, low-pressure fluid, used to entrain another stream of gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 4. The two streams of fluid mix in the second ejector 11 and are then diffused before being injected into the second injection buffer tank 8. The liquid refrigerant in the first injection buffer tank 7 is throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve 9 and enters the evaporator 4. After absorbing heat and increasing in temperature, it becomes the entraining fluid for the first ejector 10 and the second ejector 11, thus completing the cycle.
[0066] The gaseous refrigerant from the first injection buffer tank 7 enters the first compressor 5 for primary compression. The compressed gaseous refrigerant then enters the second injection buffer tank 8, where it exchanges heat with the two-phase mixed refrigerant from the second ejector 11. After the temperature drops, it splits into two streams: one stream enters the second condenser 2 to release latent heat, and the other stream enters the second compressor 6 to complete secondary compression. The compressed gaseous water then enters the first condenser 1 to release latent heat, thereby heating the water in the hot water pipe on the condenser side step by step.
[0067] Overall, this invention achieves two effects. First, by using parallel dual condensers, it can output the condensation heat released from high-temperature, high-pressure exhaust and low-temperature exhaust in stages to the condenser-side water circuit according to different temperature ranges. This enables gradual heating of the hot water, improves temperature matching at the hot water end, increases the utilization rate of the temperature difference, and ensures hot water quality and system energy efficiency. Second, through independent condensation and staged heat extraction, this invention reduces system condensation pressure, minimizes irreversible circulation losses, and improves jet cooling efficiency, making the overall system thermodynamic cycle more rational and significantly improving the coefficient of performance (COP). Third, the heat exchange area of the parallel dual condensers can be flexibly adjusted according to operating conditions, ensuring efficient system operation even under complex conditions such as low temperature and high load.

[0086] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:
[0087] This application, through the parallel arrangement of dual condensers, can output the condensation heat released by high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust and low-temperature exhaust in stages to the condenser side water circuit according to different temperature ranges, thereby realizing the gradual heating of hot water, improving the temperature matching at the hot water end, increasing the utilization rate of the end temperature difference, and ensuring the quality of hot water and the energy efficiency of the system.
[0088] This invention reduces system condensation pressure and minimizes irreversible cycle losses through independent condensation and staged heat extraction, while simultaneously improving jet cooling efficiency. This results in a more rational overall thermodynamic cycle and a significantly improved coefficient of performance (COP). Furthermore, the heat exchange area of the parallel dual condensers can be flexibly adjusted according to operating conditions, ensuring efficient system operation even under complex conditions such as low temperatures and high loads.
[0089] This application sets up a preheater 3 between the two condensers, which not only ensures the outlet water temperature on the condenser side, but also further cools the high-pressure liquid refrigerant after condensation, significantly improving its subcooling. As the main stream of the ejector, it enhances the nozzle driving force and ejection capability, thereby strengthening the injection mixing effect, achieving higher performance intermediate liquid injection cooling, effectively reducing the compressor exhaust temperature, and alleviating the heat load.
[0090] This application, through the dynamic distribution of steam flow between the two condensers, enables the system to have higher adaptability to operating conditions and maintain stable and efficient operation under low temperature environment and high hot water load conditions.
[0091] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows:
[0092] The refrigerant exiting the first condenser 1 releases heat and its temperature decreases. It then enters the preheater 3 for further subcooling. As the main working medium of the first ejector 10, it becomes a high-speed, low-pressure fluid through the main nozzle of the first ejector 10, which is used to entrain a stream of gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 4. The two streams of fluid mix in the first ejector 10 and then diffuse before being injected into the first injection buffer tank 7. The refrigerant exiting the second condenser 2 releases heat and its temperature decreases. As the main working medium of the second ejector 11, it becomes a high-speed, low-pressure fluid through the main nozzle of the second ejector 11, which is used to entrain another stream of gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 4. The two streams of fluid mix in the second ejector 11 and then diffuse before being injected into the second injection buffer tank 8. The liquid refrigerant in the first injection buffer tank 7 is throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve 9 and enters the evaporator 4. After absorbing heat and increasing its temperature, it becomes the entraining fluid for the first ejector 10 and the second ejector 11, thus completing the cycle.
[0093] Gaseous refrigerant from the first injection buffer tank 7 enters the first compressor 5 for primary compression. The compressed gaseous refrigerant then enters the second injection buffer tank 8, where it exchanges heat with the two-phase mixed refrigerant from the second ejector 11. After the temperature drops, it splits into two streams: one stream enters the second condenser 2 to release latent heat, and the other stream enters the second compressor 6 to complete secondary compression. The compressed gaseous water then enters the first condenser 1 to release latent heat. The water in the condenser-side hot water pipeline is heated by passing through the second condenser 2, the preheater 3, and the first condenser 1 in sequence.
[0094] Overall, the system achieves two effects. The preheater 3, placed between the two condensers, ensures the outlet water temperature on the condenser side while further cooling the condensed high-pressure liquid refrigerant, significantly increasing its subcooling. This subcooling then acts as the main jet injector, enhancing nozzle driving force and ejection capability, thereby strengthening the jet mixing effect and achieving higher-performance intermediate liquid injection cooling. This effectively reduces the compressor exhaust temperature and alleviates the heat load. Through dynamic distribution of steam flow between the two condensers, the system exhibits greater adaptability to operating conditions, maintaining stable and efficient operation under low-temperature environments and high hot water loads.
