SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model provides a kind of air source heat pump coupling electric boiler and heat storage device combined heating system, its main purpose is to overcome the existing air source heat pump when used in severe cold or high altitude area performance reduction, leading to unstable heating problem.
[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] Further, the upper portion and lower portion of the heat storage water tank have an upper inlet and outlet and a lower inlet and outlet, respectively, and the heat storage water tank high temperature water pipeline and the heat storage water tank low temperature water pipeline are communicated with the upper inlet and outlet and the lower inlet and outlet.
[0007] Further, the utility model still includes soft waterer, soft waterer with water pipe, electric boiler, heat storage water jar high temperature water pipeline and heat storage water jar low temperature water pipeline intercommunication.

[0009] Further, the utility model still includes expansion water tank and water replenishing pump, expansion water tank with soft waterer intercommunication, water replenishing pump with expansion water tank, heat storage water jar high temperature water pipeline and heat storage water jar low temperature water pipeline intercommunication.

[0011] Further, the heat exchanger is a plate heat exchanger.
[0012] From the above description of the utility model, compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] 1) heating stability: the air source heat pump can be used with conventional electric boiler. When the outdoor temperature is too low, the efficiency of the air source heat pump decreases or cannot meet the heating demand, the electric boiler starts to work, ensuring the stability of heating.
[0014] 2) not limited by energy supply: electricity is a widely available energy source, and the supply is relatively stable. As long as there is power supply, the air source heat pump and the electric boiler can operate normally, and are not affected by factors such as insufficient light resources, tight gas supply, insufficient water resources, and uneven distribution of geothermal energy resources.
[0015] 3) convenient installation and use: the installation of the electric boiler is relatively simple, without the need to install heat collecting plates like solar heating, without the need to lay gas pipelines like gas boilers, and without the need to consider water source acquisition and water quality like water source heat pumps, and without the need for complex underground engineering construction like geothermal energy. It only needs to be connected to the power supply and the heating pipeline to be put into use.
[0016] 4) high reliability: the system has high reliability and generally has few faults. It is not affected by changes in parameters such as solar energy, gas, geothermal energy, and water source. The addition of the electric boiler can compensate for the performance degradation of the air source heat pump in extreme weather, maintaining stable heating of the system. Moreover, with the continuous development of electric power technology, the stability of power supply is also continuously improving, further ensuring the normal operation of the electric boiler.
[0017] 5) Low operating cost: the air source heat pump itself has a high COP, and the energy efficiency is greater than 1, so that one part of the electric energy can output more than one part of the heat. The electric boiler technology is also very mature, and the efficiency can reach more than 95%. The combination of the two, the total COP of the system is still greater than 1. By setting the heat storage water tank, the low valley electricity price can also be fully utilized. During the valley electricity period, the air source heat pump and the electric boiler are started at full load, a part is used for heating, and the surplus heat is stored in the heat storage water tank. During the peak electricity period, the electricity price is very high, and the air source heat pump and the electric boiler are not started, but the heat stored in the heat storage water tank is used to heat the building, further reducing the operating cost.
[0018] 6) Good heat storage effect: compared with the air source heat pump + heat storage device, the electric boiler can be added to the heat pump to heat the water to above 90℃, so that the heat storage water tank has better heat storage effect, and the heat storage temperature difference is enlarged, and the volume of the heat storage water tank is reduced.
