Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water heaters, in particular to a dehumidification type heat pump water heater. Background Art

[0002] Air source heat pump water heater is a new green energy industry. Compared with traditional gas and electric water heater products, it is not only safe, but also energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Even compared with solar energy, it has obvious advantages. It changes the way traditional solar energy products only rely on direct sunlight or radiation to collect energy. It uses the refrigerant in the equipment to collect heat energy from the natural environment air and heats the cold water through the heat exchanger.

[0003] The working principle is the same as that of a refrigerator, and both work according to the reverse Carnot cycle, but the operating temperature range is different. A compression heat pump is mainly composed of four parts: evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion valve. It transfers the heat from the environment to the water by allowing the working fluid to continuously complete the thermodynamic cycle of evaporation (absorbing heat from the environment) → compression → condensation (releasing heat) → throttling → re-evaporation.

[0004] The evaporators of existing heat pump water heaters are basically installed outdoors, and they have the following main disadvantages:

[0005] 1. Obtain low-grade heat from the outdoors and upgrade it to high-grade heat for domestic hot water through a heat pump. Disadvantages: The outdoor temperature fluctuates greatly, the heating supply is unstable, and too low outdoor temperature affects the heating efficiency of the heat pump;

[0006] 2. The heat pump water heater installed outdoors has high requirements for the heat pump operating margin, which leads to compromise with the operating margin during the heat pump design, resulting in low heating efficiency.

[0007] 3. Modern life has higher requirements for indoor living environment. Indoor humidity control requires a dehumidifier or a dehumidification fresh air system to reduce indoor humidity. Additional equipment needs to be purchased, and the equipment is only used at certain times, so the equipment utilization rate is low. Utility Model Content

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0024] Figures 1 to 3 Shown is an embodiment of the utility model.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, a dehumidification type heat pump water heater comprises a water tank 1 and a heating part 2, wherein an installation cavity is provided in the heating part 2, wherein a direct heating type high efficiency tank heat exchanger 3, a medium pressure fan 4, an air cavity 5 and a compression type heat pump are installed in the installation cavity, wherein a condenser 6 of the compression type heat pump is placed in the direct heating type high efficiency tank heat exchanger 3, and a dehumidification evaporator 8 of the compression type heat pump is placed in the air cavity 5; the direct heating type high efficiency tank heat exchanger 3 is connected to the water tank 1; a silencer filter 7 is provided at the air inlet end of the medium pressure fan 4, and the air outlet end is connected to the air inlet of the air cavity 5, and a reflux air regulating port 9 is connected to the air outlet of the air cavity 5, and a condensation drain pipe 10 is provided on the dehumidification evaporator 8. The direct heating type high efficiency tank heat exchanger 3, the medium pressure fan 4, the air cavity 5 and the compression type heat pump are installed in the installation cavity, so that the heating part 2 can be installed indoors as a whole for use, and the water can be heated by using the indoor air, and the indoor temperature can be relatively stable and the air that is not at too low a temperature can be used, so as to improve the heating efficiency. By setting a silencer filter 7 at the air inlet end of the medium-pressure fan 4, it is not only possible to filter the indoor air and achieve a fresh air effect, but also to reduce the noise generated when the medium-pressure fan 4 is inlet, thereby improving the comfort of use. By setting a reflux air regulating port 9, it is possible to adjust the exhaust air so that part of the air refluxes and mixes with the air that has not been dehumidified, thereby reducing the humidity of the air that has not been dehumidified, so that after passing through the dehumidification evaporator 8, the humidity of the air can be better reduced. The installation positions of the components in the installation cavity are not particularly limited, as long as they can meet the use requirements. The silencer filter 7 is a silencer with a filtering function, and a ready-made product in the prior art can be used. The Chinese patent with application number CN202322008849.0 also discloses a compressor silencer filter, whose main function is to reduce the noise generated when the air flows at high speed and filter the air.

[0027] The water tank 1 is connected to the direct-heating high-efficiency tank heat exchanger 3 through the hot water riser 11 and the cold water sinking pipe 12, and the cold water sinking pipe 12 is provided with a hot water circulation pump 13 and a cold water inlet pipe 14.

The condensation water tank 18 can be installed at the lower side of the heating part 2 in the form of a drawer or a bottle mouth screw, so that it is convenient to remove the condensation water tank 18 and pour out the water in the condensation water tank 18.

[0031] A water temperature probe 19 is installed in the water tank 1, and a hot water supply pipe is provided on the water tank 1. By providing the water temperature probe 19, the water temperature in the water tank 1 can be monitored. When the water temperature reaches the set temperature, the medium-pressure fan 4, the compressor 16, etc. are controlled to stop working through the control system. When the temperature drops to a certain temperature, the medium-pressure fan 4, the compressor 16, etc. are started to work.

[0032] An air inlet 20 and an air outlet 21 connected to the installation cavity are respectively provided on opposite sides of the heating part 2, the air inlet end of the medium-pressure fan 4 is connected to the air inlet 20, and the silencer filter 7 is installed at the air inlet 20, and the return air regulating port 9 is connected to the air outlet 21.
