[0039] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0040] The structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of the present invention, so they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportion relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and so on quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of implementation. The change or adjustment of their relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the utility model proposes a direct expansion air treatment system, including a compressor 101, the outlet of the compressor 101 is connected to a first pipeline 110, the inlet of the compressor 101 is connected to a second pipeline 108, the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 101 from the second pipeline 108, the compressor 101 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the first pipeline 110.

[0042] The first pipeline 110 is connected to the inlet of the oil-gas separator 102, the oil outlet of the oil-gas separator 102 is connected to the second pipeline 108 through the oil-liquid circuit 103, and the gas outlet of the oil-gas separator 102 is connected to the third pipeline 104. Since the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the first pipeline 110 will carry the compressor refrigeration oil, the oil-gas separator 102 will separate the compressor refrigeration oil, and the compressor refrigeration oil will enter the second pipeline 108 through the oil-liquid circuit 103, and the compressor refrigeration oil will follow the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second pipeline 108 and then enter the compressor 101. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant after the refrigeration oil is separated will enter the third pipeline 104.

[0043] The direct expansion air treatment system in this embodiment further includes a four-way valve 107, and the four interfaces of the four-way valve 107 are respectively connected to the second pipeline 108, the third pipeline 104, the air pipe 106, and the fourth pipeline 109. Among them, the fourth pipeline 109 is connected to the first interface of the outdoor condenser 112, the second interface of the outdoor condenser 112 is connected to the liquid pipe 114, the liquid pipe 114 is connected to the first interface of the indoor evaporator 205, and the second interface of the indoor evaporator 205 is connected to the air pipe 106.

[0044] The third pipeline 104 is also connected to the bypass pipe 105, the bypass pipe 105 is connected to the first interface of the reheat coil 203, the second interface of the reheat coil 203 is connected to the fifth pipeline 204, and the fifth pipeline 204 is connected to the liquid pipe 114 between the first throttling mechanism 115 and the indoor evaporator 205.

[0045] A first throttling mechanism 115 is installed on the liquid pipe 114, and the first throttling mechanism 115 is used to reduce the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant in the liquid pipe 114. A second throttling mechanism 211 is installed on the fifth pipeline 204, and the second throttling mechanism 211 is used to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant in the fifth pipeline 204.

[0046] The outdoor condenser 112 is used for exchanging heat with the refrigerant introduced into the fourth pipeline 109, and the indoor evaporator 205 is used for exchanging heat with the air flowing therethrough.

[0047] When it is necessary to cool and dehumidify the indoor air, the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 101 from the second pipeline 108, and the compressor 101 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the oil-gas separator 102 through the first pipeline 110, and the compressor refrigeration oil carried in the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is separated. Then the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the outdoor condenser 112 through the third pipeline 104, the four-way valve 107, and the fourth pipeline 109, and exchanges heat with the outdoor air to form a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Then the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the liquid pipe 114, and the first throttling mechanism 115 throttles the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant in the liquid pipe 114 into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. Then the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the indoor evaporator 205 to exchange heat with the indoor air to cool and dehumidify the indoor air. After heat exchange in the indoor evaporator 205 , the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the gas pipe 106 , and then enters the second pipeline 108 through the four-way valve 107 .

[0048] When it is necessary to dehumidify the indoor air without cooling, the remaining steps are the same as the above-mentioned cooling and dehumidification, except that: a part of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the third pipeline 104 can enter the reheat coil 203 through the bypass pipe 105. After the indoor air is cooled and dehumidified by heat exchange with the indoor evaporator 205, it is then heat exchanged with the reheat coil 203 to increase the temperature, and finally achieve the purpose of dehumidification without cooling and improve the comfort. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant after heat exchange in the reheat coil 203 becomes low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant and enters the fifth pipeline 204. After being throttled into low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant by the second throttling mechanism 211, this part of the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is mixed with the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant throttled into by the first throttling mechanism 115, and enters the indoor evaporator 205 together for heat exchange.

[0049] When the indoor air needs to be heated, such as in winter, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the third pipeline 104 directly enters the air pipe 106 after being switched by the four-way valve 107, and then enters the indoor evaporator 205 to heat the air.

[0050] In an optional solution, the system further includes an indoor fan 208 and a filter mechanism, wherein the indoor fan 208 is used to synchronously draw in outdoor fresh air and indoor dirty air, and the filter mechanism is used to filter the mixed outdoor fresh air and indoor dirty air. The processed air exchanges heat with the indoor evaporator 205.

[0051] The filtering mechanism can achieve air filtering, which is relatively mature in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0052] In order to control the outdoor fresh air volume and indoor dirty air volume, the system also includes a fresh air valve 210, a return air valve 209, and a detection mechanism, wherein the outdoor fresh air is extracted by the indoor fan 208 through the fresh air valve 210, and the indoor dirty air is extracted by the indoor fan 208 through the return air valve 209. The detection mechanism can detect indoor air parameters. 2 , PM2.5 and other air parameters to adjust the amount of outdoor fresh air entering the room. When it is detected that the indoor dirty air contains harmful gases such as VOC, the return air valve 209 can adjust the amount of indoor dirty air extracted, that is, the return air volume, so as to prevent the harmful gas from circulating repeatedly.

[0053] Testing agencies need to be able to detect indoor CO 2 , PM2.5, VOC and other air parameters, which are relatively mature in the existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] In winter, the outdoor condenser 112 may face the problem of frost. In an optional solution, the system further includes a sixth pipeline 111, one end of which is connected to the first pipeline 110, and the other end is connected to the second pipeline 108. A solenoid valve and a filter are installed on the sixth pipeline 111. When the solenoid valve is opened, the refrigerant circulation amount of the compressor 101 can be increased, and the outdoor condenser 112 can be quickly defrosted after the exhaust temperature is increased.

[0055] The system is also provided with an outdoor fan 113 , which can draw air to exchange heat with the outdoor condenser 112 .

[0056] The first throttling mechanism 115 and the second throttling mechanism 211 are both electronic expansion valves. It should be noted that the first throttling mechanism 115 and the second throttling mechanism 211 are not limited to electronic expansion valves, and other devices that can achieve the above effects are also acceptable, and are not limited here.

[0057] When heating the indoor air in winter, it is sometimes necessary to humidify the air at the same time. The system also includes a humidifying mechanism 202, such as a wet film. The humidifying mechanism 202 can humidify the air heated by the indoor evaporator 205.

[0058] As an optional embodiment, in this system, the gas pipe 106, the bypass pipe 105, and the liquid pipe 114 are all installed with stop valves, and the on and off of the pipelines are controlled by the stop valves. The gas pipe 106, the bypass pipe 105, and the liquid pipe 114 are all arranged in sections, wherein each section of the gas pipe 106 is connected by a gas pipe joint 207, each section of the bypass pipe 105 is connected by a bypass joint 206, and each section of the liquid pipe 114 is connected by a liquid pipe joint 201. By arranging the gas pipe 106, the bypass pipe 105, and the liquid pipe 114 in sections, the system is divided into an indoor interior and an outdoor interior, which is convenient for transportation and installation.

[0059] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
