Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil and gas separation of air source heat pump water heaters, in particular to an oil and gas separation device of a self-cascaded carbon dioxide air source heat pump water heater. Background Art
[0002] The cascade carbon dioxide air source heat pump water heater is a highly efficient device that uses the heat in the ambient air to heat water. Its working principle is based on the refrigeration cycle. The low-pressure refrigerant (carbon dioxide) is compressed into a high-pressure gas through a compressor, and then the heat is released to the water through a heat exchanger to increase the water temperature. After that, the high-pressure gas is reduced in pressure through an expansion valve and converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas to absorb the heat from the outside again, and this cycle repeats. In the heat pump system, the oil-gas separation device is one of the key components. Since the compressor will inhale air and lubricating oil during operation, these lubricating oils may flow into the system with the refrigerant. If the lubricating oil enters the heat exchanger, it will affect the heat exchange efficiency and may even cause damage to the heat exchanger. Therefore, the role of the oil-gas separation device is to ensure that the lubricating oil is separated from the refrigerant and returned to the compressor for reuse, while preventing oil from entering the heat exchanger and other system components. The oil-gas separation device of the existing air source heat pump water heater usually has difficulty in separating the gas in time when separating the gas, resulting in part of the gas entering the oil with the movement of the oil, resulting in low separation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the problem that the oil-gas separation device of the air source heat pump water heater is usually difficult to separate the gas in time when separating the gas, resulting in part of the gas entering the oil with the movement of the oil, resulting in low separation efficiency.
