Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat pumps, in particular to a chassis deicing system for a heat pump unit. Background Art

[0002] When the air source heat pump unit is operating in a low temperature area or an area with heavy snow and wind, the water condensed on the surface of the evaporator fins of the heat pump unit will drip onto the chassis. If the heat pump unit runs for a long time, it will cause ice to form on the surface of the evaporator fins and the chassis of the air source heat pump unit, and the chassis will not be able to drain properly. In particular, after the evaporator of the air source heat pump unit is defrosted, water droplets formed by the melted frost remain on the chassis, which will also aggravate the icing condition of the chassis.

[0003] The main method for deicing the chassis in the prior art is to add an electric heating belt to the chassis and melt the ice on the chassis by the heat generated by the electric heating. Since the chassis heating belt is easy to bend, there is a gap between it and the chassis, so the heat transfer coefficient is small and the ice melting effect is poor. However, this method is more power-consuming, has high safety risks, and seriously wastes resources.

[0004] In the prior art, there is also a system with chassis defrosting function, including an evaporator, a chassis, a compressor and a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The evaporator is arranged on the chassis, and a heater is arranged under the chassis. The evaporator, the compressor and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger are respectively connected to the four-way valve. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is connected to the heat exchange coil in the heater through a heating check valve, and the heat exchange coil is connected to the evaporator through a throttle valve. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is also connected to the evaporator through a defrosting check valve and a throttle valve. The defrosting function is achieved by the heater, but the structure is relatively complex and the cost is relatively high. There is a risk of damaging the heater when hoisting the heat pump.

[0005] Therefore, how to de-ice the chassis while reducing costs is a problem that technicians currently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related technology, the utility model provides a chassis defrosting system for a heat pump unit.

[0032] In the heating mode, when entering the defrosting mode, the defrosting unit automatically defrosts, and the heat exchange tube 11 defrosts the fin group 12. At this time, the high-temperature refrigerant in the pipeline defrosts the fin group 12, and the refrigerant in the defrosting unit 111 melts the frozen condensed water in the chassis 2 at the same time.

[0033] Furthermore, the de-icing unit 111 is provided with a one-way valve 3 ; the de-icing unit 111 is connected with the shell and tube heat exchanger based on the one-way valve 3 .

[0034] Specifically, a one-way valve 3 is provided in the defrosting part 111, and the refrigerant can only flow from the direction of the shell and tube heat exchanger to the defrosting part 111 of the evaporator 1, but cannot flow back. The waste heat of the refrigerant can also be used to defrost the bottom of the evaporator 1, and the refrigerant supercooling function is realized at the same time, thereby improving energy utilization and reducing system energy consumption.

[0035] Furthermore, the ice-melting part 111 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped tubes; the plane where the arc-shaped tubes are located is parallel to the plane where the chassis 2 is located.

[0036] Specifically, the plane where the arc-shaped tube is located is parallel to the plane where the bottom plate 2 is located, which can increase the heat exchange area, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and increasing the ice melting effect.

[0043] The utility model provides a heat pump unit chassis defrosting system. In the heating mode, when entering defrosting, the defrosting part automatically defrosts, and the heat exchange tube 11 defrosts the fin group 12. At this time, the high-temperature refrigerant in the pipeline defrosts the fin group 12, and the refrigerant in the defrosting part 111 melts the frozen condensed water in the chassis 2 at the same time.
