Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a four-pipe air-cooling heat pump, in particular to a four-pipe air-cooling heat pump waste heat utilization system and a building. Background Art
[0002] In the air treatment process of purification air conditioning system, swimming pool air conditioning system, constant temperature and humidity air conditioning system, there is a condition of reheating after refrigeration and dehumidification in summer and transition season. The traditional method generally uses electric reheating, which not only offsets the cold and heat, but also consumes a lot of energy. With the increasing requirements of carbon neutrality and carbon emissions, electric reheating is no longer suitable for air conditioning systems, except for strict requirements on temperature and humidity.
[0003] The four-pipe air-cooled heat pump can produce cold water and hot water at the same time. The cold water temperature is 7 / 12℃, and the hot water temperature is 45 / 40℃. Unlike ordinary heat recovery that determines heat based on cold, cold water and hot water can operate independently according to usage needs without affecting each other. Reheating after refrigeration is equivalent to "free". The heating capacity and cooling capacity of the four-pipe air-cooled heat pump can be effectively utilized, and its system energy efficiency can reach above 9.0.
[0004] At present, four-pipe air-cooled heat pumps are increasingly used in purification plants, hotels, swimming pools, hospitals, experimental animal rooms and other fields; however, in actual use, its cooling capacity can be fully utilized, and only a small amount of heat can be utilized. The excess heat cannot meet the supply demand of domestic hot water due to the low water temperature (45 / 40℃), and is directly wasted. Therefore, the advantages of the four-pipe air-cooled heat pump are not fully utilized, that is, the remaining heat is not fully utilized. Utility Model Content

The low temperature hot water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the second water supply pipe 10 by the connecting pipe 12. Figure 1 ;
[0028] Valves are provided at the inlet and outlet ends of the first branch 6 and the second branch 7, the first water supply pipe 8, the upstream and downstream of the connecting pipe 12 on the low-temperature hot water outlet pipe 9, the connecting pipe 12, the upstream and downstream of the connecting pipe 12 on the second water supply pipe 10, and the high-temperature hot water outlet pipe 11. Figure 1 .
