Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heating and ventilation, and in particular to a multi-energy medium heat exchange device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, devices that exchange heat between two media are widely used, such as air-source fin heat exchangers. This heat exchange device can only convert heat between two media. However, when the outdoor air temperature is high (low), the temperature difference between the refrigerant and the air decreases, affecting the heat exchange effect between the refrigerant and the air, and thus significantly reducing the operating energy efficiency of the air conditioner. If a third circulating medium is added to this device, when the heat exchange rate between the refrigerant and the air decreases, the third medium will exchange heat with the refrigerant, ensuring that the difference between the refrigerant's inlet temperature and the indoor heat exchanger's outlet temperature is maintained, thereby effectively improving the operating energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0056] The utility model also provides a heat exchange method of a multi-energy medium heat exchange device, comprising the following steps:
[0057] During heating, the outdoor heat exchanger 1 serves as an evaporator, and the indoor heat exchanger 3 serves as a condenser. The circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 1 and becomes low-pressure, high-temperature gas. This is then converted to high-pressure, high-temperature gas by the compressor 4. This is converted to high-pressure, low-temperature liquid by the indoor heat exchanger 3. This is converted to a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture by the expansion valve 2 and enters the outdoor heat exchanger 1. The circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 absorbs heat from the heat source, ensuring a temperature difference between the third medium circulation pipe inlet 61 and the third medium circulation pipe outlet 62.
[0058] During cooling, the outdoor heat exchanger 1 is used as a condenser and the indoor heat exchanger 3 is used as an evaporator; the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 1 to become a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid, passes through the expansion valve 2 to become a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture, passes through the indoor heat exchanger 3 to become a low-pressure, high-temperature gas, passes through the compressor 4 to become a high-pressure, high-temperature gas and enters the outdoor heat exchanger 1; the circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 releases the heat in the third medium through the cold source, ensuring the temperature difference between the third medium circulation pipe inlet 61 and the third medium circulation pipe outlet 62.
[0059] Preferably, the heat source is solar energy, geothermal energy or low-temperature tail water;
[0060] The cold sources are geothermal energy and low-temperature tail water.
[0061] In order to better illustrate the technical effects of the present invention, the present invention provides the following specific embodiments to illustrate the above technical process:
[0062] Example 1: A multi-energy medium heat exchange device:
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange device includes an outdoor heat exchanger 1, an expansion valve 2, an indoor heat exchanger 3, and a compressor 4. The outdoor heat exchanger includes a second medium circulation pipe 5, a third medium circulation pipe 6, and fins 11. The third medium circulation pipe 6 is placed in the second medium circulation pipe 5. One end of the third medium circulation pipe 6 is a third medium circulation pipe inlet 61, and the other end of the third medium circulation pipe 6 is a third medium circulation pipe outlet 62. The outdoor heat exchanger 1, expansion valve 2, indoor heat exchanger 3, and compressor 4 are connected in sequence.
[0064] In this embodiment, the first medium flowing through the channels between the fins 11 is air.
[0065] In this embodiment, the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 is refrigerant.
[0066] In this embodiment, the circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 is water.
[0067] During heating, the outdoor heat exchanger 1 in this embodiment functions as an evaporator, and the indoor heat exchanger 3 functions as a condenser. The circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 is converted into a low-pressure, high-temperature gas through the outdoor heat exchanger 1, then into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas through the compressor 4. It then becomes a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid through the indoor heat exchanger 3, and finally into a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture through the expansion valve 2 before entering the outdoor heat exchanger 1. The circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 absorbs heat from a heat source (solar energy, geothermal energy, low-temperature tail water, etc.), maintaining a temperature differential between the third medium circulation pipe inlet 61 and the third medium circulation pipe outlet 62.
[0068] During cooling, the outdoor heat exchanger 1 in this embodiment functions as a condenser, and the indoor heat exchanger 3 functions as an evaporator. The circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 1, becomes a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid, passes through the expansion valve 2, becomes a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture, passes through the indoor heat exchanger 3, becomes a low-pressure, high-temperature gas, and passes through the compressor 4, becoming a high-pressure, high-temperature gas before entering the outdoor heat exchanger 1. The circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 releases heat from the third medium via a cold source (geothermal energy, low-temperature tail water, etc.), maintaining a temperature differential between the third medium circulation pipe inlet 61 and the third medium circulation pipe outlet 62.
[0069] In this embodiment, air channels are formed between the fins 11 in the outdoor heat exchanger 1 . Air flowing through the air channels passes through the surface of the second medium circulation pipe 5 and exchanges heat with the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 .
[0070] In this embodiment, the diameter of the third medium circulation pipe 6 is smaller than that of the second medium circulation pipe 5. The circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 and the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 flow in opposite directions to each other, so that the circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 and the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 can fully exchange heat, increase the heat exchange amount of the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 in the outdoor heat exchanger 1, and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0071] When the outdoor temperature is high in summer, the temperature difference between the air in the air channel between the fins 11 and the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 is small, and the heat exchange effect is weakened. The circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 exchanges heat with the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5, so that the heat exchange amount of the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 in the outdoor heat exchanger 1 is increased, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0072] When the outdoor temperature is low in winter, the temperature difference between the air in the air channel between the fins 11 and the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 is small, and even frost is formed on the outer surface of the second medium circulation pipe 5, which weakens the heat exchange effect. The circulating medium in the third medium circulation pipe 6 exchanges heat with the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5, so that the heat exchange amount of the circulating medium in the second medium circulation pipe 5 in the outdoor heat exchanger 1 is increased, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0073] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
