[0033] When the air energy ultra-low temperature heat pump works, the evaporator 4 in the outdoor unit 3 absorbs the heat of the low-temperature air outside under the action of the air blower 6, so that the refrigerant evaporates; the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas is sucked into the compressor 7 through the refrigerant pipeline 5, compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then sent to the condenser 2 in the water tank 1 through the refrigerant pipeline 5 to release heat to the water in the water tank 1 to realize heating; the refrigerant liquid condensed through the condenser 2 returns to the evaporator 4 after being decompressed by the electronic expansion valve 8 and the capillary tube 15 composite throttling structure to circulate. During operation, the infrared frost detection sensor 11 installed on the surface of the evaporator 4 monitors the frost in real time and transmits the data to the controller 12; when the frost thickness reaches the set value, the controller 12 starts the hot gas bypass electromagnetic valve 9 to let part of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas not pass through the condenser 2 and directly enter the evaporator 4 to melt frost, and at the same time, the electric heating fan 10 is started to assist, so that the frost layer is quickly and completely removed, the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 4 is restored, and the whole realizes stable and efficient heating in an ultra-low temperature environment, prolongs the defrosting period, improves the heating continuity and stability of the system, and guarantees the reliable operation of the heat pump.

[0038] Further, when the frost thickness is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm, the hot gas bypass electromagnetic valve 9 is started, and when the thickness is greater than or equal to 2 mm, the electric heating fan 10 is added, so as to ensure the balance between energy consumption and efficiency.
