Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, in particular to a triple heat pump system. Background Art
[0002] The existing trigeneration heat pump units in the European market use conventional cogeneration units, and use a three-way valve in the water circuit to switch between cooling, heating and hot water modes. The hot water side uses a jacketed water tank, which has low secondary heat exchange efficiency and high energy consumption. The jacketed side is a closed system, and the long-term production of high-temperature hot water will cause water quality to deteriorate and increase the risk of scaling. The cold water replenishment in this system is directly added to the hot water tank, which will cause uneven water temperature distribution in the hot water tank. When the hot water usage is large, the water temperature in the hot water tank will be low, and the user experience is poor. The piping layout is complex, and the water circuits on the air conditioning side and the hot water side are connected in parallel. Switching through the water side three-way valve will cause water cross-contamination. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a trigeneration heat pump system with simple piping layout, low energy consumption and multiple operating modes.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is: a triple heat pump system, including a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a four-way valve, a second heat exchanger, a third heat exchanger, and a refrigerant pipeline. The second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger are connected in parallel through the refrigerant pipeline and then in series with the first heat exchanger and the compressor. The four-way valve connects the compressor, the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger.
[0005] In the above technical solution, the first heat exchanger is a fin heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger is a plate heat exchanger, and the third heat exchanger is a shell and tube heat exchanger.
[0006] According to a preferred technical solution, a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve are respectively provided on the side of the second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger connected to the compressor.
[0007] According to a preferred technical solution, a first liquid reservoir and a second liquid reservoir are respectively provided on the side of the second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger connected to the first heat exchanger.
[0008] In the above technical solution, the liquid receiver adopts a double-tube liquid receiver to store high-pressure side refrigerant, balance the operation of the refrigeration system, buffer pressure fluctuations, improve the refrigeration effect and maintain equipment safety.
[0009] According to a further technical solution, a first one-way valve and a second throttle valve are connected between the second liquid reservoir and the first heat exchanger; a first throttle valve is connected between the first liquid reservoir and the first heat exchanger, and a second one-way valve is connected between the second throttle valve and the first throttle valve.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the throttle valve adopts an electronic expansion valve for throttling. The electronic expansion valve is arranged between the two heat exchangers, which can achieve precise flow control, better stability, and can quickly adjust the refrigerant flow as needed.
[0011] The one-way valve adopts a piston-type one-way valve, and the internal structure of the valve is equipped with a shock-absorbing spring, which makes the installation state of the valve body more flexible, can effectively ensure one-way flow and prevent backflow.
[0012] According to a preferred technical solution, a gas-liquid separator is provided on the refrigerant circuit of the compressor.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the gas-liquid separator is arranged on the low-pressure pipeline and is connected to the four-way valve and the compressor. The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows back to the compressor after passing through the four-way valve and the gas-liquid separator. The gas-liquid separator allows the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant containing a small amount of liquid to be purified in the gas phase, reducing the possibility of the compressor sucking in liquid refrigerant and causing liquid shock to damage the compressor.
[0014] According to a preferred technical solution, the third heat exchanger is covered with a hot water tank for storing domestic hot water.

[0018] To make hot water separately: close the first solenoid valve, open the second solenoid valve, open the four-way valve, open the first throttle valve, throttle the second throttle valve, and leave the second heat exchanger idle. The refrigerant will flow through the pipeline to the first heat exchanger.
[0019] The advantages of the utility model are:
