[0022] The split air energy heat pump heating and hot water system can realize multiple uses in one machine, and can be implemented in multiple operating modes, including: heating mode, heating + hot water mode, hot water mode and defrosting mode. The specific working modes are:

[0023] 1. Heating mode: Figure 2 This is a flow diagram of the heating mode:

[0024] Refrigerant flow in heating mode: The outdoor unit compressor sucks in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor and becomes high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. After passing through the D and C ports of the four-way valve, it enters the indoor unit hot water heat exchanger and heating heat exchanger to heat the water, which is condensed into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid state. After passing through the outdoor unit's liquid storage tank and the first filter, it enters the plate heat exchanger to release heat and become a medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid state. Then it is divided into two paths. The main path enters the main electronic expansion valve and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. After passing through the second filter, it enters the fin heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the outdoor air, and is evaporated into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas state. After passing through the E and S ports of the four-way valve, it enters the gas-liquid separator and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle. The auxiliary path enters the auxiliary electronic expansion valve and becomes a medium-temperature, medium-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. It enters the plate heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the liquid refrigerant on the other side of the plate heat exchanger, is evaporated into a medium-temperature, medium-pressure gas state, and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle.

[0025] The flow direction of heating water in heating mode is: the indoor unit heating water pump sucks water from the heating end and presses the water into the heating heat exchanger. The water absorbs heat from the refrigerant side in the heating heat exchanger and then comes out of the heating heat exchanger, goes to the heating end to release heat to heat the room, and is finally sucked into the next cycle by the heating water pump.

[0026] 2. Heating + hot water mode, Figure 3 This is a flow diagram of the heating + hot water mode:

[0027] Refrigerant flow in heating + hot water mode: The outdoor unit compressor sucks in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor and becomes high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. After passing through the D and C ports of the four-way valve, it enters the indoor unit hot water heat exchanger and heating heat exchanger to heat the water, which is condensed into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid. After passing through the outdoor unit's liquid storage tank and the first filter, it enters the plate heat exchanger to release heat and become a medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid. Then it is divided into two routes. The main route enters the main electronic expansion valve and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. After passing through the second filter, it enters the fin heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the outdoor air, and is evaporated into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. After passing through the E and S ports of the four-way valve, it enters the gas-liquid separator and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle. The auxiliary route enters the auxiliary electronic expansion valve and becomes a medium-temperature, medium-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. It enters the plate heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the liquid refrigerant on the other side of the plate heat exchanger, is evaporated into a medium-temperature, medium-pressure gas, and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle.

[0028] The flow direction of heating water in the heating + hot water mode: the indoor unit heating water pump sucks water from the heating end and presses the water into the heating heat exchanger. The water absorbs heat from the refrigerant side in the heating heat exchanger and then comes out of the heating heat exchanger, goes to the heating end to release heat to heat the room, and is finally sucked into the next cycle by the heating water pump.

[0029] Hot water flow direction in heating + hot water mode: the indoor unit hot water pump draws water from the hot water tank and presses the water into the hot water heat exchanger. The water absorbs heat from the refrigerant side in the hot water heat exchanger and then flows out of the hot water heat exchanger into the hot water tank. This cycle is repeated to heat the water in the hot water tank.

[0030] 3. Hot water mode, Figure 4 This is a flow diagram of the hot water mode:

[0031] Refrigerant flow in hot water mode: The outdoor unit compressor sucks in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor and becomes high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. After passing through the D and C ports of the four-way valve, it enters the indoor unit hot water heat exchanger and heating heat exchanger to heat the water, which is condensed into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid. After passing through the outdoor unit's liquid storage tank and the first filter, it enters the plate heat exchanger to release heat and become a medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid. Then it is divided into two routes. The main route enters the main electronic expansion valve and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. After passing through the second filter, it enters the fin heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the outdoor air, and is evaporated into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. After passing through the E and S ports of the four-way valve, it enters the gas-liquid separator and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle. The auxiliary route enters the auxiliary electronic expansion valve and becomes a medium-temperature, medium-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. It enters the plate heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the liquid refrigerant on the other side of the plate heat exchanger, is evaporated into a medium-temperature, medium-pressure gas, and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle.

[0032] Hot water flow direction in hot water mode: the indoor unit hot water pump draws water from the hot water tank and presses the water into the hot water heat exchanger. The water absorbs heat from the refrigerant side in the hot water heat exchanger and then flows out of the hot water heat exchanger into the hot water tank. This cycle is repeated to heat the water in the hot water tank.

[0033] 4. Defrost mode, Figure 5 This is the flow diagram of the defrost mode:

[0034] Refrigerant flow in defrost mode: The outdoor unit compressor sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It passes through the D and E ports of the four-way valve and enters the fin heat exchanger to heat the air. It is condensed into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. It passes through the second filter and the main electronic expansion valve and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. It enters the plate heat exchanger, the first filter, and the liquid storage tank, and enters the indoor unit heating heat exchanger and the hot water heat exchanger to absorb the heat of the water. It is evaporated into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas. It passes through the C and S ports of the four-way valve and enters the gas-liquid separator, and finally returns to the compressor to enter the next cycle.

[0035] The flow direction of heating water in defrost mode: the indoor unit heating water pump sucks water from the heating end and presses the water into the heating heat exchanger. After the water absorbs heat on the refrigerant side in the heating heat exchanger, it comes out of the heating heat exchanger and returns to the heating end to enter the next cycle.

[0036] Hot water flow direction in defrost mode: The indoor unit hot water pump draws water from the hot water tank and presses the water into the hot water heat exchanger. The water absorbs heat from the refrigerant side in the hot water heat exchanger and then flows out of the hot water heat exchanger and returns to the hot water tank to enter the next cycle.
