Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat pump air-conditioning systems, in particular to a novel multi-energy source coupled heat pump air-conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] For water-cooled chillers using cooling towers, since water-cooled chillers can only cool but cannot heat in winter, it is usually necessary to set up another heat source such as a boiler for winter heating. That is, two systems must be set up at the same time to meet the needs of cooling and heating throughout the year, which requires high investment, large floor space, and complex operation and maintenance. However, heat sources such as boilers are often subject to many objective restrictions, including natural gas supply and environmental protection. In addition, boilers also have a certain explosion hazard. In cases where such heat sources cannot be used, air-cooled heat pump units are usually used to solve the problems of heating and cooling throughout the year. Air-cooled heat pump units can meet both cooling and heating needs, so they are widely used in my country and have a very high market share. However, there are currently many problems with air-cooled heat pumps. In terms of refrigeration, compared with water-cooled types, air-cooled heat pumps have relatively low energy efficiency and high operating energy consumption. In high temperature environments, the cooling effect decreases significantly, affecting the comfort of air conditioners. When heating, the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger is prone to frost, affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner, and the defrosting energy consumption is high. It also has a greater impact on the indoor heating effect, and the comfort level is far inferior to other methods. The main solution at present is still to improve the existing technology in terms of compressor performance, heat exchanger structure, intelligent frost control, etc. based on the existing system form. However, due to the constraints of thermodynamic theory, local improvements cannot fundamentally solve the major problems existing in air-cooled heat pump air-conditioning units.

[0003] The above scheme and the prior art have little effect on the coupling of other new energy sources to the heat pump air-conditioning system when it is working. During its use, the air-cooled heat pump unit has low refrigeration performance and high operating energy consumption. Frosting and defrosting problems often occur under heating conditions, which cannot meet actual use requirements.

[0004] To this end, the utility model proposes a novel multi-energy source coupled heat pump air conditioning system for solving the above problems. Utility Model Content
