[0031] In the embodiment, the heat exchanger is arranged on the bottom plate, and the heat exchanger has two refrigerant channels and a cold and hot water channel inside. The outer wall of the condenser is provided with a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet which are in communication with the refrigerant channels, and is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet which are in communication with the cold and hot water channel. The heat exchanger is preferably a plate heat exchanger, and the plate heat exchanger adopts two independent refrigerant channels and one cold and hot water channel, so that the size of the heat exchanger is reduced and part of the energy is saved, and the practical effect of the cold and hot water unit of the utility model is better.
[0032] In the embodiment, the water outlet of the heat exchanger is connected with a drain pipe, thereby discharging the cooling water in the heat exchanger.
[0033] In the embodiment, the two water pumps are arranged on the bottom plate and located in front of the heat exchanger, and the two water pumps are a working water pump and a standby water pump respectively, and the working water pump is connected with the water inlet of the condenser through a connecting pipe. The two water pumps are preferably seawater pumps. The utility model can be applied to various types of ships, and the water pump is not additionally arranged, so that the water heater unit is smaller and more convenient to install, and one standby water pump is additionally arranged, thereby improving the stability of the utility model during use.
[0034] In the embodiment, the condenser is arranged on the bottom plate, and the condenser is connected with the working water pump through a connecting pipe. The condenser is preferably a vertical square shell condenser.
[0035] In the embodiment, a buffer is arranged between the shell walls of the condenser, and the buffer is preferably a sponge-like buffer medium.

The refrigerant absorbs the heat in the cooling water to evaporate into low-pressure gas, and finally is sucked into the compressor, so that a refrigeration cycle of the refrigerant is completed.

So that a heating cycle of the refrigerant is completed.
