Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to residential central heating systems. Background Technology
[0002] The existing technology, Chinese patent 202410794845.6, describes an indoor return water heating enhancement machine for centralized heating, which includes a water supply pipeline, a return water pipeline, a heating terminal, and a water source heat pump heating unit. The heating terminal includes a manifold and at least one sub-heating terminal. The water supply pipeline and the return water pipeline are respectively connected to the inlet and return water ends of the heating terminal. The water heat exchanger section of the water-side heat exchanger is connected in series or parallel to the pipeline at the return water end of the heating terminal; or the heating terminal includes several sub-heating terminals, which are respectively connected to the water supply pipeline and the return water pipeline. The water heat exchanger section is connected in series or parallel to the return water pipeline. One sub-heating terminal and one water source heat pump heating unit constitute a group. The return water pipe at the heating terminal of the centralized heating system is connected to the water source heat exchanger of the water source heat pump heating unit. When the indoor temperature drops, or the system pressure is low and circulation is slow, causing a drop in indoor temperature, the water source heat pump heating unit operates, absorbing the heat energy from the return water in the return pipe to supplement the indoor temperature by either raising or maintaining it. The problem is that the water source heat pump system and the centralized heating system are not coupled together. Summary of the Invention

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a centralized heating system and a water source heat pump coupled heating device include a heating water supply pipe 11, a heating return water pipe 12, a water source heat pump system 2, an indoor water supply pipe 31, an indoor return water pipe 32, and a heating terminal 4.
[0029] The water source heat pump system 2 includes a compressor 21, a first dual-channel heat exchanger 22, a second dual-channel heat exchanger 23, and an electronic expansion valve 24. The first dual-channel heat exchanger 22 includes a first water path and a first refrigerant path that serves as a condenser. The second dual-channel heat exchanger 23 includes a second water path and a second refrigerant path that serves as an evaporator.
[0030] The heating water supply pipe 11, the first water circuit of the first dual-channel heat exchanger 22, the heating terminal 4, the second water circuit of the second dual-channel heat exchanger 23, and the heating return water pipe 12 are connected in sequence to form a water source heat pump mode.
[0031] The heating water supply pipe 11, the indoor water supply pipe 31, the heating terminal 4, the indoor return water pipe 32, and the heating return water pipe 12 constitute a self-heating mode;
[0032] Switching between self-heating mode and water source heat pump mode.
[0033] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a first three-way valve 51 and a second three-way valve 52;
[0034] The first three-way valve 51 and the second three-way valve 52 can be manual two-position three-way valves or electric two-position three-way valves;
[0035] The heating water supply pipe 11 is connected to the inlet of the first water circuit and the inlet of the indoor water supply pipe 31 through the first three-way valve 51, and the outlet of the indoor water supply pipe 31 is connected to the pipeline between the first water circuit and the heating terminal 4.
