[0026] After research, it was found that natural gas refers to a mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases naturally stored in the strata, and is one of the important energy sources. Using natural gas as an energy source can reduce the use of coal and oil, and can improve environmental pollution problems; as a clean energy source, natural gas can reduce sulfur dioxide and dust emissions by nearly 100%, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 50%, and help reduce acid rain formation, slow down the global greenhouse effect, and fundamentally improve environmental quality.
[0027] Based on this, natural gas has been applied as an energy supply in many fields. In the field of food processing, natural gas is used for cooling and heating at the same time to ensure the cold source demand of the food processing environment and the hot water supply required for food processing. However, at present, it is generally necessary to use two independent cooling and heating systems to work at the same time to meet the needs of food processing. In this way, two systems need to be installed at the same time, and both the cooling and heating systems need to occupy a certain space, which leads to the problem of space waste.
[0028] In order to solve the above problems, in an embodiment of the present application, the combined cooling and heating device specifically includes a refrigeration system and a heating system, wherein the refrigeration system includes a gas heat pump, a compressor, a condenser, a throttle valve and an evaporator, wherein the gas heat pump is connected to the compressor, and the compressor, the condenser, the throttle valve and the evaporator are sequentially connected to form a circulation loop; the condensation outlet of the condenser is connected to the heating system to provide a water source for the heating system through the condenser, and the condensation inlet of the condenser is connected to an external water source. The present application encapsulates the refrigeration system and the heating system into one device by connecting the condensation outlet of the refrigeration system to the heating system, and omits the cooling tower required for the refrigeration system, thereby reducing the floor space required for the combined cooling and heating device. At the same time, the present application provides the heating system with a water source that absorbs heat through the condenser, so that on the one hand, there is no need to cool the condensed water flowing out of the condenser, and on the other hand, the heat energy carried by the condensed water can be used, thereby improving energy utilization.
[0029] The application content is further explained below through the description of embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This embodiment provides a cooling and heating cogeneration device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooling and heating cogeneration device includes a shell 30, in which a refrigeration system 20 and a heating system 10 are arranged, and the refrigeration system 20 includes a gas heat pump 21, a compressor 22, a condenser 23, a throttle valve 24 and an evaporator 25, and the gas heat pump 21 is connected to the compressor 22, and the compressor 22, the condenser 23, the throttle valve 24 and the evaporator 25 are connected in sequence to form a circulation loop. The condenser 23 is provided with a condensation water inlet 26 and a condensation water outlet 27, and the condensation water inlet 26 is connected to an external water source (for example, tap water, etc.) through a pipeline, and the condensation water outlet 27 is connected to the heating system 10 through a pipeline to provide a water source for the heating system 10. That is to say, the water source inlet of the heating system 10 is connected to the water outlet of the condenser 23 through a pipe, so that the water source entering the condenser 23 through the condensation water inlet 26 can absorb heat in the condenser 23 and then flow into the heating system 10 through the condenser 23 outlet and the water source inlet, so that the heating system 10 can use the heat energy in the refrigeration system 20, improve the energy utilization rate, and then enable the combined heat and cold generation device to achieve energy-saving effects. At the same time, by directly allowing the water source flowing in through the water inlet of the condenser 23 to flow into the heating system 10 through the condenser 23 outlet, it is impossible to cool the water source flowing out of the condensation water outlet of the condenser and then return it to the condensation water inlet, saving the space required for the refrigeration system, and increasing the compactness between the heating system and the refrigeration system, so that the refrigeration system and the heating system can be configured in one shell to form an integrated structure, further saving the space occupied by the combined heat and cold generation device.
[0031] Further, if Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the heating system 10 includes a burner 11 and a heat exchanger 12, and the heat exchanger 12 is connected to the burner 11. The burner 11 generates heat by burning gas or natural gas, and the heat rises with the airflow to the heat exchanger 12 connected to the burner 11. A heat exchange pipe is arranged in the middle plate of the heat exchanger 12, and the pipe water inlet 13 of the heat exchange pipe is connected to the condensation water outlet 27 of the condenser 23. The water source flowing out of the condensation water outlet 27 flows into the heat exchange pipe through the pipe water inlet 13 to absorb heat in the heat exchanger 12 and increase the temperature, and hot water flows out from the pipe inlet and outlet of the heat exchange pipe for users to use. By connecting the pipe water inlet 13 of the heat exchange pipe with the condensation water outlet 27 of the condenser 23, the water source flowing into the pipe water inlet 13 can be preheated by the condenser 23 to increase the temperature of the water source flowing into the heat exchange pipe, thereby reducing the heat required for the water source to reach the hot water at the temperature required by the user, and further reducing the energy consumption of the heating system 10.
[0032] In one implementation of the present application, the combined cooling and heating device is applied to the field of food processing, and the temperature of the hot water flowing out of the pipe outlet is 85-95°, for example, 90°. When the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 are independent, the temperature of the water source flowing into the pipe inlet 13 is 20-25°, for example, 22°, so the water source needs to absorb the heat required to increase from 22° to 90° in the heat exchanger 12; when the combined cooling and heating device provided by the fundamental application is used, the water source flowing into the pipe inlet 13 is the water source passing through the condenser 23, and the temperature of the water source flowing out of the condensation outlet 27 of the condenser 23 is 50-55°, for example, 52°, so the water source needs to absorb the heat required to increase from 52° to 90° in the heat exchanger 12, and the required heat is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the heating system 10. As for the refrigeration system 20, the energy required by the refrigeration system 20 does not change, so the combined cooling and heating device plays a role in saving energy. Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, the temperature of the inflow water flowing into the condenser 23 through the condenser water inlet is 20-25°, the temperature of the outflow water flowing out of the condenser 23 through the condensation water outlet 27 is 50-55°, and the temperature of the hot water produced by the heating system 10 is 85-90°; the temperature of the inflow water flowing into the evaporator 25 is 12°, and the temperature of the outflow water flowing out of the evaporator 25 is 7°.
[0033] In one implementation of the present application, the working time period of the refrigeration system 20 may be partially out of sync with the working time period of the heating system 10, or the amount of water from the source flowing through the condenser 23 in the refrigeration system 20 may be different from the amount of water required by the heating system 10, and the amount of water from the source flowing through the condenser 23 in the refrigeration system 20 into the heating system 10 may be less than the amount of water required by the heating system 10. Based on this, Figure 3 As shown, the heating system 10 further includes a water supply pipe 90 and a first control valve disposed on the water supply pipe 90, wherein the water supply pipe 90 is connected to the pipe water inlet 13 of the heat exchange pipe; when the amount of water flowing into the heating system 10 through the condensation water outlet 27 meets the hot water demand, the first control valve is in a closed state; when the amount of water flowing into the heating system 10 through the condensation water outlet 27 does not meet the hot water demand, the first control valve is in a closed state. In this way, when the refrigeration system 20 cannot meet the water demand of the heating system 10, the water supply pipe 90 can be connected to a water source (e.g., tap water, etc.) to replenish water for the heating system 10, so that the heating system 10 can meet the user's hot water demand. Of course, in actual applications, the first control valve can be a flow control valve, which is used to control the flow of the water supply pipe 90, and the opening and closing degree of the flow control valve can be determined according to the water required by the heating system 10 and the water that can be provided by the refrigeration system 20, so that the amount of water flowing into the heating system 10 through the water supply pipe 90 and the refrigeration system 20 can meet user needs.
[0034] In one implementation of the present application, the working time period of the refrigeration system 20 may be partially out of sync with the working time period of the heating system 10, or the amount of water from the source flowing through the condenser 23 in the refrigeration system 20 may be different from the amount of water required by the heating system 10, and the amount of water from the source flowing through the condenser 23 in the refrigeration system 20 into the heating system 10 may be greater than the amount of water required by the heating system 10. Based on this, Figure 4 As shown, the cooling and heating cogeneration device further includes a water storage device 100, which has a heat preservation function. For example, the water storage device 100 includes a shell 30, and the shell 30 has a receiving cavity for storing water; a heat preservation layer is arranged outside the shell 30 to achieve the heat preservation function; or, the storage device includes a shell 30 with a receiving cavity, and the shell 30 includes an inner shell and an outer shell, and a vacuum layer is arranged between the inner shell and the outer shell. A water inlet and a water outlet are arranged on the water storage device 100, and the water inlet is connected to the condensation water outlet 27 through a pipeline, and the water outlet is connected to the pipeline water inlet 13 of the heat exchanger 12 through a pipeline, so that the water storage device 100 can be used as a storage device for the excess water generated by the refrigeration system 20, and the stored water source can be used as a supplementary water source for the heating system 10.
[0035] In order to control the connection between the water storage device 100 and the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10, a second control valve is provided on the pipeline between the water storage device 100 and the condensation water outlet 27, and a third control valve is provided on the pipeline between the water storage device 100 and the heating system 10. When the amount of water provided by the condenser 23 is more than the amount of water required by the heating system 10, the second control valve is opened and the third control valve is closed; when the amount of water provided by the condenser 23 is less than or equal to the amount of water required by the heating system 10, the second control valve is closed, and when there is water in the water storage device 100, the third control valve is opened. Of course, it should be noted that both the second control valve and the third control valve can be flow control valves, and the flow rate of water flowing into and out of the water storage device 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the degree of opening and closing.
[0036] Furthermore, the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 may both use gas or natural gas as energy, or one of the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 may use natural gas or natural gas as energy, and the other may use other energy (e.g., electric energy, etc.), or neither of them may use natural gas or natural gas as energy, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 may both use gas or natural gas as energy, and accordingly, the combined cooling and heating device further includes a gas pipe assembly, and the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 are connected to the gas or natural gas supply port through the gas pipe assembly to provide energy for the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10.
[0037] In one implementation, if Figure 5 As shown, the gas pipe assembly includes a main gas pipe 60, a first branch gas pipe 70 and a second branch gas pipe 80; one end of the main gas pipe 60 passes through the shell 30 and is placed outside the shell 30 to connect with the gas source; the other end of the main gas pipe 60 is connected to the first branch gas pipe 70 and the second branch gas pipe 80 respectively, the first branch gas pipe 70 is connected to the gas heat pump 21, and the second branch gas pipe 80 is connected to the heating system 10, so that the air intake of the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 can be controlled synchronously by controlling the main gas pipe 60, and a gas pipe through hole needs to be provided on the shell 30 to improve the sealing of the cold and heat cogeneration device. Of course, in order to control the air intake of the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10, the main gas pipe 60, the first branch gas pipe 70 and the second branch gas pipe 80 can be provided with gas control valves respectively.
[0038] In one implementation, if Figure 2-4As shown, the gas pipe assembly includes a first gas pipe 50 and a second gas pipe 40, one end of the first gas pipe 50 passes through the shell 30 and is placed outside the shell 30, and the other end is connected to the gas heat pump 21; one end of the second gas pipe 40 passes through the shell 30 and is placed outside the shell 30, and the other end is connected to the heating system 10. This implementation can independently control the gas volume of the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10, and there will be no problem between the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 that the gas consumption of one of the refrigeration system 20 and the heating system 10 suddenly increases and causes insufficient gas consumption of the other. Of course, the first gas pipe 50 and the second gas pipe 40 can be respectively provided with gas control valves.
[0039] In summary, the present embodiment provides a combined cooling and heating device, which specifically includes a refrigeration system and a heating system. The refrigeration system includes a gas heat pump, a compressor, a condenser, a throttle valve and an evaporator. The gas heat pump is connected to the compressor, and the compressor, the condenser, the throttle valve and the evaporator are connected in sequence to form a circulation loop; the condensation outlet of the condenser is connected to the heating system to provide a water source for the heating system through the condenser, and the condensation inlet of the condenser is connected to an external water source. The present application encapsulates the refrigeration system and the heating system into one device by connecting the condensation outlet of the refrigeration system to the heating system, and omits the cooling tower required for the refrigeration system, thereby reducing the floor space required for the combined cooling and heating device. At the same time, the present application can utilize the heat energy carried by the condensed water by providing the water source that absorbs heat through the condenser to the heating system, thereby improving energy utilization.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it.
