[0018] This invention provides an ultra-low temperature air source heat pump unit that can switch operating modes according to different ambient temperatures to ensure efficient and stable operation of the system under all conditions. In frigid conditions of -20℃, the system activates the first operating mode, employing two-stage compression technology. This effectively reduces the single-stage pressure ratio, significantly improving compressor efficiency and extending equipment lifespan. When the ambient temperature rises to around -12℃, the system switches to the fourth operating mode. In this mode, vapor injection enthalpy enhancement technology is applied. By controlling the fourth solenoid valve and utilizing the intercooler, the refrigerant circulation is increased, significantly improving heating capacity and ensuring minimal or no heat loss during winter heating alone. In winter conditions of around 7℃, the system operates in the third operating mode, using single-stage compression and closing the air inlet, simplifying the system process and reducing energy consumption. In summer, the system enters the second operating mode, again using single-stage compression and closing the air inlet to optimize energy efficiency. Simultaneously, through the built-in heat recovery unit, domestic hot water is recovered while cooling is achieved, maintaining its temperature at no less than 60℃, achieving green and energy-saving effects. This invention achieves automatic switching between cooling, heating and heat recovery modes through the coordinated control of various valves, which not only adapts to the operating needs of all four seasons, but also improves the stability and reliability of the system operation, ultimately achieving the goals of energy conservation, emission reduction and lower heating costs.

[0035] The ultra-low temperature air source heat pump unit of this invention operates in four modes:

[0036] First working mode: At this time, the outdoor temperature is about -20℃. Under this condition, the first solenoid valve 4-1, the third solenoid valve 4-3, the fifth solenoid valve 4-5, the sixth solenoid valve 4-6, the eighth solenoid valve 4-8, the tenth solenoid valve 4-10, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve 14, and the eleventh solenoid valve 4-11 are open, while the second solenoid valve 4-2, the fourth solenoid valve 4-4, the seventh solenoid valve 4-7, the ninth solenoid valve 4-9, and the twelfth solenoid valve 4-12 are closed.

[0037] The working fluid flows out of the high-pressure reservoir 1 and splits into two paths. One path passes through the first solenoid valve 4-1 and the auxiliary electronic expansion valve 14, becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure working fluid, and then enters the lower inlet of the intercooler 7. The other path passes through the eleventh solenoid valve 4-11 and enters the left inlet of the intercooler 7. After heat exchange in the intercooler 7, part of the working fluid is cooled and flows out from the right inlet of the intercooler 7. It then passes sequentially through the dryer filter 5, the main electronic expansion valve 6, and the tenth solenoid valve 4-10, before passing through the heat exchanger 8 and absorbing heat from the environment. The working fluid heats up and evaporates. The heated working fluid then passes through the third solenoid valve 4-3 and then through the... The working fluid enters the third four-way reversing valve 16 through the right port of the three four-way reversing valve 16, then flows out through the upper port of the third four-way reversing valve 16, passes through the eighth solenoid valve 4-8, enters the left port of the second four-way reversing valve 15, flows out through the upper port of the second four-way reversing valve 15, enters the gas-liquid separator 10, and then enters the low-pressure stage compressor 13 for compression. The working fluid then enters the lower port of the second four-way reversing valve 15, flows out through the right port of the second four-way reversing valve 15, passes through the sixth solenoid valve 4-6, enters the upper port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, and flows out from the left port of the first four-way reversing valve 12 into the gas-liquid separator 10.

[0038] The hotter working fluid passes through the upper port of the intercooler 7 and then through the fifth solenoid valve 4-5. It mixes with the working fluid flowing out from the left port of the first four-way reversing valve 12 and enters the gas-liquid separator 10. After passing through the gas-liquid separator 10, the working fluid enters the high-pressure stage compressor 11. The high-pressure stage compressor 11 performs secondary compression on the working fluid and then discharges it. Subsequently, the working fluid enters through the lower port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, changes direction within the first four-way reversing valve 12, and flows out through the right port of the first four-way reversing valve 12. Then, it enters the lower port of the third four-way reversing valve 16 along the pipeline and flows out through the left port of the third four-way reversing valve 16. The working fluid sequentially passes through the shell and tube heat exchanger 3 to dissipate heat and condense to the outside, and finally returns to the high-pressure liquid receiver 1, completing one cycle.

[0039] Second working mode: In summer, the ambient temperature is high and cooling is required.

The working fluid enters the lower port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, flows out from the right port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, enters the lower port of the third four-way reversing valve 16, and flows out from the right port of the third four-way reversing valve 16. Then, the working fluid enters the heat recovery unit 9 to recover the heat in the working fluid. The working fluid flows out from the heat recovery unit 9 and enters the heat exchanger 8 for heat dissipation. After heat dissipation, the working fluid sequentially passes through the second solenoid valve 4-2 and the tenth solenoid valve 4-10, and is then throttled by the main electronic expansion valve 6 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure working fluid. After the dryer filter 5, the product enters the left port of the intercooler 7, where it absorbs heat and evaporates. Then, it flows out through the right port of the intercooler 7, sequentially passing through the twelfth solenoid valve 4-12 and the shut-off valve 2 before entering the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 3 for secondary heat absorption and evaporation.

[0042] The working fluid flows out of the high-pressure reservoir 1, passes through the eleventh solenoid valve 4-11 and enters the left port of the intercooler 7. It then flows out from the right port of the intercooler 7, sequentially passing through the dryer filter 5, the main electronic expansion valve 6, and the tenth solenoid valve 4-10 before entering the heat exchanger 8 for heat exchange. After exiting the heat exchanger 8, it passes through the third solenoid valve 4-3 and enters the right port of the third four-way directional valve 16. It then flows out from the upper port of the third four-way directional valve 16, passes through the seventh solenoid valve 4-7, and enters the first four-way directional valve. The upper port of valve 12 flows out from the left port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, then passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and enters the high-pressure stage compressor 11. After flowing out of the high-pressure stage compressor 11, it enters the lower port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, flows out through the right port of the first four-way reversing valve 12 and enters the lower port of the third four-way reversing valve 16. After flowing out through the left port of the third four-way reversing valve 16, it sequentially passes through the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 3 and the shut-off valve 2, and then enters the high-pressure liquid receiver 1 to complete the cycle.

[0043] The fourth working mode is in winter, with a temperature of around -12℃. Under this condition, the first solenoid valve 4-1, the third solenoid valve 4-3, the fourth solenoid valve 4-4, the seventh solenoid valve 4-7, the tenth solenoid valve 4-10, the eleventh solenoid valve 4-11, and the auxiliary electronic expansion valve 14 are open, while the second solenoid valve 4-2, the fifth solenoid valve 4-5, the sixth solenoid valve 4-6, the eighth solenoid valve 4-8, the ninth solenoid valve 4-9, and the twelfth solenoid valve 4-12 are closed.

[0044] The working fluid flows out of the high-pressure liquid receiver 1 and is divided into two paths. One path enters the left port of the intercooler 7 through the eleventh solenoid valve 4-11, and the other path enters the lower port of the intercooler 7 through the first solenoid valve 4-1 and the auxiliary electronic expansion valve 14. Heat exchange is completed in the intercooler 7. One path flows out through the right port of the intercooler 7, passes through the dryer filter 5, the main electronic expansion valve 6, and the tenth solenoid valve 4-10 in sequence, and then enters the heat exchanger 8. After flowing out of the heat exchanger 8, it passes through the third solenoid valve 4-3 and enters the right port of the third four-way reversing valve 16. It flows out from the upper port of the third four-way reversing valve 16, passes through the seventh solenoid valve 4-7 and enters the upper port of the first four-way reversing valve 12. It flows out from the left port of the first four-way reversing valve 12 and enters the gas-liquid separator 10, and then enters the high-pressure stage compressor 11.

[0045] Another path flows out from the upper outlet of the intercooler 7 and then directly into the high-pressure stage compressor 11 through the fourth solenoid valve 4-4;

[0046] Two working fluids flow out simultaneously from the high-pressure stage compressor 11, then enter the lower port of the first four-way reversing valve 12, flow out through the right port of the first four-way reversing valve 12 and enter the lower port of the third four-way reversing valve 16, and flow out through the left port of the third four-way reversing valve 16 in sequence through the shell and tube heat exchanger 3 and the shut-off valve 2 before entering the high-pressure liquid receiver 1 to complete the cycle.
