Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of temperature control equipment, in particular to an evaporative condensing heat pump hot and cold water unit. Background Art

[0002] An evaporative-condensing heat pump chiller / heater unit typically refers to a heat pump unit that integrates the functions of an evaporator and condenser and operates on the principle of a vapor-compression cycle. In cooling and heating modes, this unit uses different circulation processes to regulate hot and cold water to meet the heating and cooling needs of buildings or industrial areas. The following is a detailed explanation of evaporative-condensing heat pump chillers and their main functions:

[0003] Refrigeration: In cooling mode, the unit absorbs heat from the room (via the evaporator), then transfers the heat to the external environment (such as water or air) through the condenser, producing chilled water. This process is achieved through the evaporation and condensation of the refrigerant. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the room's heat and evaporates into a gas. This gas is then compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. The gas then passes through the condenser, releasing the heat to the external environment while condensing back into a liquid, completing the refrigeration cycle. Heating: In heating mode, the unit's operation is the reverse of cooling mode. It absorbs heat from the external environment (such as water or air), transfers the heat to the refrigerant through the evaporator, causing it to evaporate into a gas. This gas is then compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This gas then passes through the condenser, releasing the heat to the indoor environment (such as water or air), while condensing back into a liquid, producing hot water or warm air, achieving the heating function. Energy saving and environmental protection: Evaporative condensing heat pump chillers have a high energy efficiency ratio (COP), meaning they can produce a high amount of heat or cooling per unit of electrical energy input, resulting in significant energy savings. At the same time, since it mainly uses heat in the environment for energy conversion, it reduces fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions, which is beneficial to environmental protection.

[0004] However, in actual use, evaporative condensing heat pump chillers and hot water units have been widely used in modern architecture and industry due to their high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics. However, during long-term operation, scale buildup within the unit's water tank gradually becomes a problem. This scale not only affects heat exchange efficiency and reduces unit performance, but can also damage the equipment and increase maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
