AI Technical Summary
In existing air source heat pump heating systems, the problem of antifreeze corrosion of radiators leading to leakage and cracking has not been effectively solved, and plastic-aluminum composite radiators have not been used in air source heat pump built-in condenser heat exchange scenarios, lacking dedicated anti-corrosion technical solutions.
The plastic-aluminum composite radiator uses a plastic inner liner and aluminum alloy finned tubes. It has a built-in condenser coil that is isolated from the antifreeze. The refrigerant and antifreeze are controlled in groups by an independent control valve. The refrigerant flows in the condenser coil and exchanges heat indirectly with the antifreeze. The heat is dissipated into the room through the aluminum alloy finned tubes.
It achieves complete isolation and corrosion protection between antifreeze and radiators, extending service life, adapting to low-temperature environments without freezing and cracking, improving system safety and reliability, and reducing energy consumption through group control.

Description
[0001] Invention Title: A Corrosion Protection Device for Plastic-Aluminum Composite Radiators in Air Source Heat Pump Antifreeze Heating Systems
[0002] Technical Field: This invention belongs to the field of low-temperature heating technology of air source heat pumps, specifically involving a special heating device that applies existing plastic-aluminum composite radiators to air source heat pump antifreeze heating scenarios, achieving full isolation and corrosion prevention of antifreeze and built-in condensation heat exchange.
[0003] Background technology: Air source heat pump heating systems in low-temperature areas usually require the addition of antifreeze at the heating terminals to prevent the equipment from freezing and cracking in low-temperature environments.
[0004] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: 1. Traditional metal radiators are in direct contact with antifreeze, which is corrosive. Long-term use can easily cause corrosion, perforation, leakage, or even bursting of the radiators, resulting in a short service life. 2. Existing air source heat pump heating technologies mainly focus on improving heat exchange efficiency and system control, but have not effectively solved the problem of antifreeze corrosion and leakage of radiators; 3. Existing plastic-aluminum composite radiators are only used in conventional water heating circulation systems and have not yet been applied to dedicated heating scenarios with built-in condenser heat exchange and antifreeze corrosion protection in air source heat pumps.
[0005] In summary, the industry lacks a dedicated technical solution that can combine aluminum-plastic composite radiators with air source heat pump heating systems and achieve complete isolation and corrosion prevention between antifreeze and metal radiators. Summary of the Invention: 1. Technical problems to be solved: (1) Solve the leakage and bursting problems caused by antifreeze corrosion of air source heat pump radiators; (2) Adapt existing plastic-aluminum composite radiators to the built-in condenser heat exchange scenario of air source heat pumps, and give them the purpose of antifreeze and anti-corrosion in air source heating systems; (3) Realize the indirect heat exchange between refrigerant and antifreeze through condenser coils, so that the refrigerant circuit and antifreeze circuit are completely isolated, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system. 2. Technical Solution: A corrosion-resistant application device for a plastic-aluminum composite radiator in an air-source heat pump antifreeze heating system, comprising an air-source heat pump unit, a plastic-aluminum composite radiator, a condensing coil, antifreeze, and independent control valves; the plastic-aluminum composite radiator is composed of an inner plastic liner and an outer aluminum alloy finned tube heat dissipation layer, the plastic liner being a sealed cavity; the plastic liner is filled with low-temperature heating-specific antifreeze, which is completely isolated from all metal parts of the radiator; the condensing coil is sealed inside the plastic liner and completely immersed in the antifreeze; the refrigerant pipeline of the air-source heat pump unit is divided into multiple lines, each connected to a group of condensing coils via an independent control valve, achieving independent control of each group; the refrigerant flows within the condensing coils, indirectly exchanging heat with the antifreeze through the pipe wall, and the heat is dissipated into the room through the aluminum alloy finned tube heat dissipation layer. 3. Creative Core (1) New Application: The conventional water heating plastic-aluminum composite radiator is innovatively applied to the antifreeze and anti-corrosion heating scenario of air source heat pump; (2) New Structural Combination: Plastic-aluminum plastic inner tank + built-in condensing coil + antifreeze and metal are completely isolated to form a special antifreeze and anti-corrosion heat exchange structure; (3) New Effect: The corrosion problem of antifreeze on radiators is solved from the structural root, significantly extending the service life; (4) Non-obviousness: Those skilled in the art usually only focus on the heat dissipation, pressure bearing and appearance of radiators, and rarely combine the air source heat pump refrigerant condensation and antifreeze anti-corrosion requirements for structural design. Therefore, the combination scheme of the present invention is not obvious to those skilled in the art. 4. Beneficial effects (1) Full isolation and corrosion prevention: The plastic inner liner completely blocks the contact between the antifreeze and the metal parts, avoiding corrosion and leakage from the source; (2) Low temperature antifreeze: It can be used with antifreeze and will not freeze or crack in an environment of -35℃; (3) Expanding new uses: It realizes the special anti-corrosion application of plastic-aluminum composite radiators in air source heating systems; (4) Group controllable and energy saving: Multi-way independent control valves can realize regional heating on demand, reducing operating energy consumption; (5) Dual-circuit safety: The refrigerant and antifreeze are completely isolated, with no risk of media mixing or cross-contamination, making the system safer and more reliable.
