[0002] With increasing awareness of energy issues and environmental protection, efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly heating technologies are receiving more and more attention. While traditional single-stage air-source heat pump systems can provide some heating capacity, their efficiency and stability are often unsatisfactory in extreme weather or high-demand heating scenarios. This is especially true in the renovation of older buildings, where traditional single-stage heating systems struggle to achieve ideal heating results due to the small diameter of the existing pipes. Therefore, developing a technical solution that can adapt to small-diameter systems while improving heating efficiency is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Air source heat pump systems include air source heat pump units, heat exchangers, and outdoor circulation systems.
[0007] Air source heat pump units use a compressor to compress low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant into high-temperature, high-pressure gas, and then transfer heat to the air / circulating water of the outdoor circulation system through a water-side / air-side heat exchanger.

[0020] A two-stage heating system for air source heat pumps.
[0021] Including air energy harvesting devices,
[0022] Air source heat pump systems include air source heat pump units, heat exchangers, and outdoor circulation systems.
[0023] Air source heat pump units use a compressor to compress low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant into high-temperature, high-pressure gas, and then transfer heat to the air / circulating water of the outdoor circulation system through a water-side / air-side heat exchanger.
[0024] The primary heating system 1 is connected to the air energy collection device and is used to initially raise the water temperature;
[0025] Secondary heating system 2, connected to the primary heating system, is used to further increase the water temperature to the required supply temperature;
[0026] The circulating water pump 3 is installed on the return water pipe 6 to maintain the flow of water in the system;
[0027] Control system 7 is used to monitor and adjust the working status of the air energy collection device, primary heating, secondary heating and circulating water pump;
[0028] Return water pipe 6 is connected to the primary heating system via a circulating water pump;
[0029] Water outlet pipe 4 is connected to the secondary heating system and is used to deliver heated hot water to the user.
[0030] The primary and secondary heaters are controlled independently, and the number of units in operation and the heating power can be adjusted according to actual needs such as ambient temperature and terminal load.
[0031] The control system includes a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a controller. The temperature sensor and pressure sensor are used to detect temperature and pressure changes within the system, respectively, while the controller automatically adjusts the operating status of each component based on the detected data. The temperature sensor may include an ambient temperature sensor or an internal system temperature sensor.
[0032] A bidirectional flushing pipeline is installed between the primary heater and the secondary heater, including a bidirectional flushing valve designed for the main pipeline. By using different valve opening and closing methods, the system end and the heat source section can be flushed separately, effectively preventing debris from entering the unit and causing damage.
[0033] Primary heating: First, the air energy harvesting device absorbs heat from the outside air and transfers this energy to the water in the primary heating system through refrigerant circulation, thus initially raising the water temperature.
[0034] Secondary heating: Subsequently, the water that has been heated in the first stage enters the secondary heating system. In this stage, the water temperature is further increased to the required level by the second stage air energy.
[0035] Flow control: By adjusting the working status of the circulating water pump and the connection method between the heaters (series or parallel), the water flow rate in the system can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of pipes with different diameters.
[0036] More stable and reliable: The air source heat pump adopts a two-stage heating mechanism in series and parallel, which effectively solves the problem of excessive flow in small-diameter systems.
[0037] Excellent heating effect: The increased supply and return water temperatures ensure good heating performance even in extremely low temperature environments.
[0038] Wide range of applications: The system is flexibly designed and can be customized according to actual application scenarios, making it suitable for various types of building heating needs.
