[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the utility model are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 The utility model provides an air source heat pump system, including air source heat pump main unit 110, circulating pump 120, expansion tank 130 and a plurality of first fan coil unit 140, the water inlet of circulating pump 120 is connected to external municipal tap water source, the water outlet of circulating pump 120 is connected to the water inlet of air source heat pump, the water outlet of air source heat pump is connected to the water inlet of first fan coil unit 140, the water outlet of first fan coil unit 140 is connected to the water inlet of circulating pump 120, expansion tank 130 is connected to the conveying pipeline between the water inlet of circulating pump 120 and external municipal tap water source.
[0028] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the air source heat pump host 110 includes an evaporator 111, a liquid accumulator 112, an economizer 113, a second fan coil 114, a four-way valve 115, a compressor 116 and a condenser 117, the water inlet end of the evaporator 111 is connected to the water outlet end of the circulating pump 120, the water outlet end of the evaporator 111 is connected to the water inlet end of the first fan coil unit 140, the first water inlet and outlet end of the evaporator 111 is connected to the first end of the liquid accumulator 112, the second end of the liquid accumulator 112 is connected to the first end and the second end of the economizer 113, the third end of the economizer 113 is connected to the first end of the four-way valve 115 through the second fan coil 114, the second end of the four-way valve 115 is connected to the first end of the condenser 117, the second end of the condenser 117 is connected to the first end of the compressor 116, the second end of the compressor 116 is connected to the fourth end of the economizer 113, the third end of the compressor 116 is connected to the third end of the four-way valve 115, and the fourth end of the four-way valve 115 is connected to the second water inlet and outlet end of the heat exchanger.
[0029] Among them, the first throttling valve 118 is arranged on the second fan coil 114, and the second throttling valve 119 is arranged on the conveying pipeline between the second end of the liquid accumulator 112 and the third end of the economizer 113.
[0030] In addition, the first fan coil unit 140 includes at least one first fan coil, the water inlet end of the first fan coil is connected to the water outlet end of the air source heat pump host, and the water outlet end of the first fan coil is connected to the water inlet end of the circulating pump 120. The first fan coil is installed at the battery PACK. Correspondingly, one side of the first fan coil and one side of the second fan coil 114 are both configured with a fan.
[0031] In addition, the air source heat pump system further comprises a differential pressure bypass valve 150, the first end of the differential pressure bypass valve 150 being connected to the conveying pipeline between the air source heat pump main machine water outlet and the first fan coil unit 140 water inlet, and the second end of the differential pressure bypass valve 150 being connected to the conveying pipeline between the first fan coil unit 140 water outlet and the circulating pump 120 water inlet. When the load in the system decreases, especially when the required flow of the first fan coil unit 140 decreases, if the system pressure is not properly adjusted, it may cause the internal pressure of the air source heat pump main machine to be too high, thereby causing damage to the key components such as the compressor 116, the evaporator 111, and the condenser 117. At this time, the differential pressure bypass valve 150 will automatically open, allowing part of the water flow to bypass the first fan coil unit 140 and flow back to the circulating pump 120 water inlet directly, thereby reducing the pressure difference in the system and protecting the key components from damage. By adjusting the water flow in the system through the differential pressure bypass valve 150 to maintain or adjust the pressure difference inside the system, the system can maintain a relatively stable operating state under different load conditions. When the load is low, unnecessary energy consumption is reduced; when the load is high, sufficient flow and heat transfer can be ensured to meet the demand for heating or hot water supply. This adjustment mechanism helps to improve the overall stability and operating efficiency of the system.
[0032] In addition, the air source heat pump system further comprises a water softener 160, which is arranged between the circulating pump 120 water inlet and the external municipal water source.
[0033] Finally, the air source heat pump system further comprises a controller, a temperature sensor, and a power supply for the entire system, the temperature sensor being installed on the conveying pipeline between the circulating pump 120 water outlet and the air source heat pump main machine water inlet, and the temperature sensor being connected to the input end of the controller. The controller is used to control the overall operation of the system.
[0034] Specifically, in the heating condition: the circulating pump 120 is always on, the air source heat pump main machine starts when the air source heat pump main machine return water temperature is lower than 40℃ (pre-set), and the air source heat pump main machine stops when the air source heat pump main machine return water temperature is higher than 45℃ (pre-set). When the battery temperature is lower than the set temperature, the water circulation system is turned on, and when the battery temperature is higher than the set temperature, the water circulation system is turned off.
