An evaporative air-cooled condenser 5 is arranged below one condensing fan 2, and an air-cooled condenser 3 is arranged below the other condensing fan 2. A spraying system 4 is arranged above the evaporative air-cooled condenser 5. The hot water heat exchanger and the cold water heat exchanger are arranged between the evaporative air-cooled condenser 5 and the air-cooled condenser 3. This device has heat recovery under the refrigeration condition and cold recovery under the heating condition, which can be reused to improve the energy utilization efficiency. This unit has a total of four outlet water temperatures, which can cope with variable or complex environments and reduce the unit cost. The energy efficiency of the device unit is high. The energy efficiency ratio of conventional units is usually between 4.0 and 5.0, while this unit can reach 6.0 to 7.0.

[0032] The hot water heat exchanger includes a hot water heat exchanger I 6 and a hot water heat exchanger II 7. Above the hot water heat exchanger I 6 and the hot water heat exchanger II 7 in the housing 1, a water tank partition 13 is provided. A compressor 9 and an electric box 10 are provided on the water tank partition 13. The compressor 9 is connected with a gas-liquid separator 20.

[0033] In the housing 1, a condenser partition I 11 is provided on the side of the air-cooled condenser 3 close to the hot water heat exchanger II 7, and a condenser partition II 12 is provided on the side of the evaporative air-cooled condenser 5 close to the hot water heat exchanger I 6.

Below the hot water heat exchanger I 6 and the hot water heat exchanger II 7, a cold water tank I 16 and a cold water tank II 17 are respectively provided.

[0034] In the housing 1, a cold water heat exchanger I 14 and a cold water heat exchanger II 15 are provided at the relative positions of the hot water heat exchanger I 6 and the hot water heat exchanger II 7. Below the cold water heat exchanger I 14 and the cold water heat exchanger II 15, a hot water tank I 18 and a hot water tank II 19 are respectively provided. The hot water heat exchanger I 6, the hot water heat exchanger II 7, the cold water heat exchanger I 14, and the cold water heat exchanger II 15 are connected through pipelines, and a valve group 21 is arranged on the pipelines.

[0035] The working principle of this device is as Figure 4 shown:

[0036] 1. Cooling and heating conditions: After setting two water temperatures, the equipment is started. Based on the two cold water return temperatures and two hot water return temperatures, the solenoid valves Ⅲ24 and Ⅳ25 on the cold water side are opened and adjusted to control the refrigerant flow rates of two circuits. The solenoid valve Ⅲ24 controls the refrigerant flow rate of one circuit to reach a set water temperature, and the solenoid valve Ⅳ25 controls the refrigerant flow rate of the other circuit to slowly adjust the return water temperature to the set value. Similarly, the solenoid valves Ⅰ22 and Ⅱ23 on the hot water side adjust the refrigerant flow rate into the hot water shell and tube according to the hot water return temperature to reach the set water temperature. When switching between the cooling and heating conditions, through the internal switching of the three-way valve, the cold water shell and tube still produce cold water, and the hot water shell and tube still produce hot water. The excess heat is dissipated through the air-cooled condenser 3 and the evaporative condenser 5.

[0037] 2. Single cooling (heating) conditions: After setting one (two) cold (hot) water temperature(s), the solenoid valves Ⅰ22 and Ⅱ23 on the hot water side are opened, and the solenoid valves Ⅲ24 and Ⅳ25 on the cold water side are closed, or the solenoid valves Ⅰ22 and Ⅱ23 on the hot water side are closed, and the solenoid valves Ⅲ24 and Ⅳ25 on the cold water side are opened. According to the set water temperature, the solenoid valves adjust the refrigerant flow rate to reach the required water temperature. The heat dissipation or cold absorption of the system is achieved through the air-cooled condenser 3 and the evaporative condenser 5.

[0038] The embodiments described above are only for describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
