Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-split system technology, specifically to an air source heat pump multi-split heating system. Background Technology
[0002] In typical multi-split air conditioning systems, during winter (heating season), all indoor units connected to the same outdoor unit operate in only one mode: either cooling or heating simultaneously. It's impossible to have some indoor units heating while others are cooling when the outdoor unit is operating. This is particularly problematic in restaurants and hot pot establishments where some rooms require cooling while most require heating. Typical multi-split air conditioning systems struggle to achieve simultaneous cooling and heating. There's no significant improvement in the ability of multiple indoor units connected to the same outdoor unit in a multi-split refrigeration air conditioning system to simultaneously operate in both cooling and heating modes in different rooms. Therefore, an air-source heat pump multi-split heating system is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0016] Example
[0017] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an air source heat pump multi-split heating system, including a compressor 1. A copper pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the compressor 1. One end of the copper pipe 2 is connected to an outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3. One end of the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 is connected to an electronic expansion valve 4 via the copper pipe 2. One end of the electronic expansion valve 4 is connected to an outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 via the copper pipe 2. One end of the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 is connected to the inlet end of the compressor 1 via the copper pipe 2. A steel pipe 7 is connected to the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3. A heat circulation component and a refrigeration circulation component are respectively installed at one end of the steel pipe 7. A heat-absorbing fan 6 is installed on one side of the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5. When some indoor units have heating needs, under the outdoor heating ambient temperature, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor 1 of the multi-split unit enters the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 through the copper pipe 2, where it condenses and releases heat. The condensed, high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then throttled and cooled by the electronic expansion valve 4 to become a low-temperature liquid refrigerant. This low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant then enters the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 to absorb heat and evaporate into a gaseous refrigerant. The heat-absorbing fan 6 forces convection between the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 and the outdoor air for heat absorption. The gaseous refrigerant from the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 enters the compressor 1 inlet and is compressed by the compressor 1, completing one heating refrigerant cycle. The purpose of this heating cycle is to achieve the condensation and heat release of the refrigerant in the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3. The heat in the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 comes from the sum of the heat absorbed by the outdoor air from the evaporation of the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 and the heat generated by the work done by the compressor 1.
[0018] By setting up heat circulation components and refrigeration circulation components, the shortcomings of multi-split refrigeration air conditioning systems, which have multiple indoor units connected to the same outdoor unit, cannot simultaneously achieve the two working modes of cooling or heating in different rooms during the heating season, are overcome, thereby improving the applicability of the device.
[0019] The heat circulation assembly includes a hot water pump 8, a hot water distributor 9, and a hot water collector 10. The hot water pump 8 is connected to one end of a steel pipe 7. One end of the hot water distributor 9 is connected to the inlet of the hot water pump 8 via a steel pipe 7. The other end of the hot water distributor 9 is connected to several indoor units 16 via several steel pipes 7. One end of the hot water collector 10 is connected to one end of several indoor units 16 via several steel pipes 7. The other end of the hot water collector 10 is connected to the outdoor water-side heat release condenser 3. Each of the indoor units 16 is connected to the hot water distributor 9 and the hot water collector 10 via a steel pipe 7, and a heating solenoid valve 17 is installed. Hot water from the hot water collector 10 enters the outdoor water-side heat release condenser 3 to absorb heat from the refrigerant, increasing its temperature. The heated water then leaves the outdoor water-side heat release condenser 3 and enters the hot water pump 8 via steel pipe 7, where it is pressurized and circulated. The pressurized hot water from the hot water pump 8 enters the hot water distributor 9, where the high-temperature hot water is divided into several groups and enters the indoor units 16 (fan coil units) that require heating to release heat. During this process, the corresponding heating solenoid valves 17 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor units 16 that require heating open, while the corresponding cooling solenoid valves 18 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor units that require heating close. The hot water from the several heating indoor units 16 then enters the hot water collector 10 and enters the outdoor water-side heat release condenser 3 to absorb heat from the refrigerant, completing one heating hot water cycle.
[0020] The refrigeration cycle assembly includes a water inlet connector 11, a chilled water tank 12, and a chilled water pump 13. The water inlet connector 11 is installed on the chilled water tank 12 via a steel pipe 7. One end of the chilled water pump 13 is connected to one end of the chilled water tank 12 via a steel pipe 7, and the other end of the chilled water pump 13 is connected to a chilled water distributor 14 via a steel pipe 7. One end of the chilled water distributor 14 is connected to several indoor units 16 via several steel pipes 7. Several indoor units 16 are connected to a chilled water collector 15 via several steel pipes 7. One end of the chilled water collector 15 is connected to the other end of the chilled water tank 12 via a steel pipe 7. Several indoor units 16 are connected to the chilled water distributor 14 and the chilled water collector 15 via steel pipes 7, and each indoor unit 16 is connected to the chilled water distributor 14 and the chilled water collector 15 via a steel pipe 7. When some indoor units have a cooling demand, the multi-split system operates at a lower tap water temperature in the outdoor heating environment, especially in winter. Water inlet 11 connects to the water pipe to replenish the cold water tank 12. The water in the cold water tank 12 is pressurized and circulated by the cold water pump 13 after passing through the steel pipe 7. The pressurized cold water enters the cold water separator 14. The cold water in the cold water separator 14 is divided into several groups and enters the indoor units with cooling needs to release and absorb heat. During this process, the corresponding cooling solenoid valves 18 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor unit 16 with cooling needs are opened, and the corresponding heating solenoid valves 17 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor unit 16 with cooling needs are closed. The cold water from the several cooling indoor units enters the cold water collector 15 and then enters the cold water tank 12, completing one cooling cold water cycle.
[0021] Compressor 1: In a multi-split air-source heat pump system, the compressor draws in low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant gas and discharges high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas, driving the refrigerant to circulate in copper pipes and refrigeration components. Copper Pipe 2: Connects various heating components, through which the refrigerant circulates. Outdoor Water-Side Heat Release Condenser 3: Generally a plate heat exchanger, shell-and-tube heat exchanger, or coaxial heat exchanger. During heating, it typically has two sets of flow channels: a refrigerant flow channel and a hot water flow channel. During heating, the high-temperature refrigerant releases heat, and the hot water absorbs heat. The two fluids exchange heat in the two sets of flow channels, causing the hot water temperature to rise and the refrigerant gaseous phase to change to liquid, with its temperature decreasing. Electronic Expansion Valve 4: Throttling, cooling, and pressure reduction. Outdoor Heat Absorbing Evaporator 5: Generally a heat exchanger made of copper pipes and aluminum fins, where liquid refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the ambient air. Heat Absorbing Fan 6: A motor and fan blades that force convection heat exchange between the liquid refrigerant in the outdoor heat absorbing evaporator 5 and the air.
[0022] Steel pipe 7: Generally made of stainless steel, the fluid is cold water, hot water or ethylene glycol solution; Hot water pump 8: When heating, it drives the hot water to circulate in the pipe; Hot water distributor 9: When heating, it evenly distributes hot water to the indoor units that need heating; Hot water collector 10: Collects hot water from each heating indoor unit.
[0023] Water inlet connector 11: Used to connect to the tap water pipe, generally for winter tap water, which should be at a low temperature for cooling. If the water temperature is high, a heat exchanger can be used to cool the tap water before supplying it to the cold water tank 12; Cold water tank 12: Stores tap water or cold water outdoors in winter; Cold water pump 13: Drives cold water (tap water) to circulate in the pipes during winter cooling; Cold water distributor 14: Distributes cold water (tap water) evenly to the indoor units that require cooling during cooling; Cold water collector 15: Collects cold water from each heating indoor unit; Indoor unit 16: Fan coil unit, used for indoor heating and cooling; Heating solenoid valve 17: Used to close the heating pipe; Cooling solenoid valve 18: Used to close the cooling pipe.
[0024] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: When some indoor units have a heating demand, under the outdoor heating ambient temperature, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor 1 of the multi-split unit enters the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 through copper pipe 2, where it condenses and releases heat. The condensed, high-pressure liquid refrigerant then passes through the electronic expansion valve 4, where it is throttled, depressurized, and cooled to become a low-temperature liquid refrigerant. This low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant then enters the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5, where it absorbs heat and evaporates into a gaseous refrigerant. The heat-absorbing fan 6 forces convection between the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 and the outdoor air for heat absorption. The gaseous refrigerant from the outdoor heat-absorbing evaporator 5 enters the compressor 1 inlet, where it is compressed, completing one heating refrigerant cycle. The purpose of this heating cycle is to achieve the condensation and heat release of the refrigerant in the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3. The heat in the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 comes from the sum of the heat absorbed by the outdoor air from the evaporator 5 and the heat generated by the compressor 1. For the heat cycle, hot water from the hot water collector 10 enters the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 to absorb heat from the refrigerant, raising the water temperature. The heated hot water then leaves the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 and enters the hot water pump 8 via the steel pipe 7, where it is pressurized and circulated. The pressurized hot water from the hot water pump 8 enters the hot water distributor 9, where the high-temperature hot water is divided into several groups and enters the indoor units 16 (fan coil units) that require heating to release heat. During this process, the corresponding heating solenoid valves 17 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor units 16 that require heating open, while the corresponding cooling solenoid valves 18 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor units that require heating close. The hot water from the several heating indoor units 16 enters the hot water collector 10 and then enters the outdoor water-side heat-releasing condenser 3 to absorb heat from the refrigerant, completing one heating hot water cycle.
[0025] For the cooling cycle, when some indoor units have a cooling demand, the multi-split system operates at a lower tap water temperature, especially in winter, when the outdoor heating ambient temperature is low. Tap water connector 11 connects to the tap water pipe to replenish the chilled water tank 12. The tap water in the chilled water tank 12 is pressurized and circulated by the chilled water pump 13 after passing through the steel pipe 7. The pressurized chilled water enters the chilled water separator 14, where it is divided into several groups that enter the indoor units with cooling demand to release and absorb heat. During this process, the corresponding cooling solenoid valves 18 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor unit 16 with cooling demand open, while the corresponding heating solenoid valves 17 at the inlet and outlet of the indoor unit 16 with cooling demand close. The chilled water from the several cooling indoor units enters the chilled water collector 15, which in turn enters the chilled water tank 12, completing one cooling chilled water cycle.
