Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of central air-conditioning systems, in particular to a steel pipeline component of a variable frequency centrifugal air-cooled heat pump unit. Background Art
[0002] For large central air-conditioning systems, some main circulation loops use seamless steel pipes due to the large refrigerant circulation volume and require various control valves to ensure efficient and stable operation of the unit.

For centrifugal air-cooled heat pump units, there are more steel pipe components and many control valves. If one-piece bent steel tubes are used for piping, part of the pipes need to be cut to facilitate assembly with control valves, etc. under the conditions of meeting process production. Although this can reduce the piping time of the unit, the overall initial investment cost and material cost of the unit will be greatly increased. Utility Model Content

[0058] Based on this unit, the following specific embodiments can be executed:
[0059] In the cooling mode, the high-temperature, high-pressure, superheated gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 first enters the exhaust steel pipe assembly 2 through the first pipe 2-1, and then is discharged from the third elbow 2-15 of the exhaust steel pipe assembly into the four-way valve 4 for diversion and outflow, and then enters the manifold steel pipe assembly 5 for uniform distribution and enters the air-cooled heat exchanger 11 for condensation and heat dissipation, and then becomes a supercooled liquid refrigerant, and then flows through the throttle valve 12 to become a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and then enters the water-cooled heat exchanger 13 for evaporation and absorption. The heat of water is used to produce cold water. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the water-cooled heat exchanger 13 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant. In the refrigeration mode, the sixth valves 8 and 9 of the intake bypass steel pipe assembly 8 are energized and are in the open state. The refrigerant will enter the intake bypass steel pipe assembly 8 from the twenty-second pipe 8 and 6, and then flow out from the twenty-fourth pipe 8 and 10, enter the intake steel pipe assembly 7 through the third three-way valve 7 and 8, and then return to the intake port of the compressor 1 from the fourteenth pipe 7 and 1, completing the refrigerant circulation of the entire main circulation loop.
[0060] Similarly, in the heating mode, the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor 1 first enters the exhaust steel pipe assembly 2 from the first pipeline 2, 1, and then is discharged from the third elbow 2, 15 of the exhaust steel pipe assembly into the four-way valve 4 for turning and flowing out, and enters the intake bypass steel pipe assembly 8. At this time, the sixth valve 8-9 must be in the closed state, and the refrigerant therefore enters the water-cooled heat exchanger 13 through the twenty-second pipeline 8-6 of the intake bypass steel pipe assembly 8 to release heat to the cooling water, thereby producing hot water. The refrigerant is condensed into a medium-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant in the water-cooled heat exchanger 13, and then flows out into the throttle valve 12 for throttling to become a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, and then flows out into the air-cooled heat exchanger 11 for evaporation and heat absorption to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous superheated refrigerant, and then converges into the manifold steel pipeline assembly 5 and returns to the four-way valve 4 to be diverted and flow into the low-pressure pipeline 9, and returns to the other inlet of the gas-liquid separator 10. The outlet of the gas-liquid separator 10 is connected to the nineteenth pipeline 7-11 of the intake steel pipeline assembly 7, and then under the action of the pressure difference, the main refrigerant returns from the fourteenth pipeline 7-1 to the intake port of the compressor 1, completing the refrigerant cycle of the entire main circulation loop.
[0061] In cooling / heating mode, the hot gas bypass circuit specifically bypasses some of the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the second tee 2-11 of the exhaust steel pipe assembly 2 of the main circulation loop and discharges it to the gas-liquid separator 10 for pressure relief, thereby controlling surge in the centrifugal unit. The outlet of the gas-liquid separator 10 is connected to the nineteenth pipe 7-11 of the intake steel pipe assembly 7. Then, under the influence of the pressure differential, this bypassed gaseous refrigerant returns to the return air port of the compressor 1, completing the hot gas bypass cycle.
[0062] When the unit needs to shut down, the solenoid valve in the shutdown bypass steel pipe assembly 6 is first opened. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant will be discharged from the first three-way piece 2-3 of the exhaust steel pipe assembly 2 into the shutdown bypass steel pipe assembly 6. Under the action of the high and low pressure difference, a large amount of gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor suction port from the fifth tapered joint 7-14 of the intake steel pipe assembly 7 to complete the pressure relief.
[0063] Specifically, in the defrost mode, since the compressor speed of general variable frequency centrifugal air-cooled heat pump units is relatively high, usually reaching 25000rpm~100000rpm, it is impossible to directly switch the four-way valve to perform refrigeration mode defrosting like traditional scroll / screw compressors. It is necessary to shut down the unit first, and then start the four-way valve 4 without power. The unit performs a refrigeration cycle, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows through the exhaust steel pipe assembly 2, the four-way valve 4, and the manifold steel pipe assembly 5 in turn to enter the air-cooled heat exchanger 11 for defrosting. Unlike the refrigeration mode, in the defrost mode, the sixth valve 8-9 of the suction bypass steel pipe assembly 8 cannot be powered, because there will be a large amount of liquid refrigerant in the main circulation loop during defrosting. If the gas-liquid separator 10 is bypassed, the compressor 1 will inhale liquid and damage the compressor. In defrost mode, the refrigerant in the main circulation loop is discharged from the air pipe of water-cooled heat exchanger 13, flows through the suction bypass steel pipe assembly 8, four-way valve 4, low-pressure pipe 9, gas-liquid separator 10, and suction steel pipe assembly 7, and returns to the suction port of compressor 1, completing the entire defrost cycle. When the defrost is completed, compressor 1 is shut down again, and then the restart command is executed again. Four-way valve 4 is energized to switch to heating mode.
