Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar energy and air source heat pump coupled energy supply, in particular to a flat-plate solar energy and air source heat pump coupled hot water heating system. Background Art
[0002] At present, solar flat-plate collector modules can solve the problem of hot water in all seasons and heating in winter, but they are volatile and limited; they rely on solar energy for heating, so they cannot effectively heat in rainy weather or at night, and the heating effect will be limited by weather conditions. And heat storage equipment needs to be installed to store the heat energy collected during the day for use at night or on rainy days. Heat storage equipment increases the complexity and cost of the system and takes up a certain amount of space. When the weather changes and the weather is continuous and rainy, the solar heating system usually needs a backup traditional heating system as a supplement, which increases the initial investment and operating costs.
[0003] Air source heat pumps can solve the problems of hot water replenishment in all seasons, heating in winter and cooling in summer, but they consume electricity, cost money, and are easily affected by seasonality. Their performance is greatly affected by external temperature. In extremely low or high temperature conditions, their efficiency and performance may decrease. Especially in cold winters, air source heat pumps need to consume more energy to provide hot water or heating, and the effect may not be as good as other types of heat pumps such as ground source heat pumps. Under extreme temperature conditions, the energy efficiency ratio of air source heat pumps may decrease, resulting in increased energy consumption, which in turn affects the cost of use.
[0004] In summary, the use of solar flat-plate collector modules and air source heat pumps alone cannot effectively solve the needs of four-stage hot water replenishment and floor heating. Moreover, in the process of using terminal tap water for heat exchange, the water stays in the heat exchange coil for too long, which is easy to breed bacteria. Summary of the invention
