Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat pump heating, in particular to a solar energy coupling system based on a double-stage cascade heat pump. Background Art

[0002] An air source heat pump is a device that uses air as a low-temperature heat source to transfer heat energy to a high-temperature heat source to achieve heating. In the past, due to living habits and energy prices, most coal-producing provinces in northern regions such as the Northwest, Northeast China, and Inner Mongolia used coal-fired boilers for heating in their daily lives and production. In particular, heating for daily life in fringe urban areas, agricultural greenhouses, and pastoral greenhouses all rely mainly on coal-fired boilers to provide heat. Compared with heat pumps that use clean energy, this runs counter to the concept of environmental protection.

[0003] In the cold winter, as the outdoor temperature drops, the heating capacity of ordinary single-stage heat pumps decays rapidly, not only greatly reducing the heating efficiency but also increasing the operating costs. Although common traditional heat pumps have strong low-temperature resistance and high heating efficiency and can adapt to severe cold, they are prone to frost and freezing during operation. As a result, traditional heat pump systems may face the problem of decreased efficiency when increasing the temperature, resulting in their heating limitations under low-temperature conditions. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, a high-temperature throttling device and a high-temperature filter are connected between the intermediate heat exchanger and the first shell and tube heat exchanger.

[0012] 1. By adopting a two-stage cascade heat pump structure, the system achieves high-efficiency conversion of solar energy. Solar energy is effectively captured and converted into heat energy that can be used by the system through the synergistic effect of PCM air solar energy and solar wind turbines, so that it can use external heat energy to convert energy more smoothly in a low-temperature environment, helping the two-stage cascade heat pump to operate normally.

[0013] 2. Through the solar coupling system, the system realizes the effective use of phase change materials (PCM) and improves the comprehensive utilization efficiency of energy. The application of PCM enables the system to store and release heat more flexibly and realize the effective use of solar energy for a longer period of time.

[0014] 3. The synergy between the high-temperature and low-temperature loops and the design of the intermediate heat exchanger help maintain the stability of the system. In addition, the reliability of the system is further improved by setting up a low-temperature compressor and a second low-temperature compressor in parallel.

[0015] 4. The system uses four-way valves, throttling devices, filters and other devices to achieve fine regulation and control of the fluid. This helps to maintain the superior performance of the system under different working conditions and improves the stability of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
