Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air source heat pumps, and specifically discloses an air source heat pump dual-supply device that combines stratified heat extraction and defrosting and anti-freezing functions. Background Art

[0002] The water tank in the air source heat pump dual-supply system mainly serves to prevent the outdoor main unit from frequently starting and stopping and to provide buffer heat during the defrosting process. In the conventional application process, the water tank supplies the energy consumption loss of the building through the energy provided by the outdoor main unit and the auxiliary heating device. However, during use, due to the temperature stratification effect in the water tank, the hot water will flow to the top of the water tank, while the colder water sinks to the bottom. The temperature stratification phenomenon of the water tank itself causes that during use, the water at different layers needs to be remixed before it can be used, which leads to the problem that the temperature change range is large after the water at different layers is mixed. This kind of problem gives rise to the problems that the auxiliary heating device and the main unit frequently start and the frequency change is too large, increasing the energy consumption loss during the system operation and reducing the service life of the equipment.

[0003] In the currently commonly used reverse cycle defrosting technology in the air source heat pump dual-supply system, a four-way reversing valve is used to change the refrigerant flow direction, and the unit operates reversely. The defrosting energy comes from the compressor power consumption and the heat absorbed from the indoor, changing the heating state to the cooling state, and the outdoor unit becomes the condenser for defrosting. During defrosting, the superheated refrigerant vapor discharged from the compressor is sent to the outdoor unit coil for defrosting. When the defrosting is completed, the operation of the heat pump reverses again and starts heating again, thus achieving the purpose of defrosting. However, during defrosting operation, a large amount of heat is absorbed from the building, reducing the indoor temperature in a short time, affecting the stability and comfort of the building functions. In addition, the defrosting times are too frequent, and the reversing valve needs to frequently reverse, resulting in easy wear of the reversing valve and relatively high system noise, reducing the service life of the equipment while increasing the failure rate of the equipment.

[0004] The problems of high system operation energy consumption, long defrosting time, and frequent startup existing in the above problems have become prominent problems restricting the large-scale popularization and application of the dual-supply system in severe cold and cold regions in recent years. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The utility model adds an energy storage module and an intelligent stratified heating module.

The two-way supply system can flexibly use the relatively hot water at the top layer of the energy storage combination. At the same time, when the heat supply is insufficient, the heating device arranged in the high-energy extraction area can accurately heat the temperature in the high-energy extraction area.
