Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a four-pipe fan coil system, a fan coil unit, and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] In existing four-pipe fan coil units, cooling and heating are separate systems, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the four-pipe fan coil unit has two circulation systems, a cooling system and a heating system, which require separate cooling water inlet assembly 25, heating water inlet assembly 26, cooling water outlet assembly 27 and heating water outlet assembly 28. When cooling, the cooling system circulates liquid to lower the temperature, while the heating system does not operate. When heating, the heating system circulates liquid to raise the temperature, while the cooling system does not operate. The structure is complex and has low integration, and the two circulation systems occupy a large space.
[0003] Due to structural limitations, the system can only be assembled by splitting off a portion of the existing heat exchanger system, resulting in a significant reduction in both cooling and heating efficiency. The simultaneous existence of two independent circulation systems leads to complex inlet and outlet water pipe components, making production and assembly difficult, and resulting in high failure rates and maintenance costs. Furthermore, since heating efficiency is usually lower than cooling efficiency, but the heating system can only improve heating efficiency by significantly increasing the inlet water temperature during heating, the outdoor unit load increases, energy consumption increases, and prolonged high-power heating can easily lead to equipment damage and reduced durability.

[0036] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the main water inlet pipe 9 includes: a cooling water inlet pipe 9.1 and a heating water inlet pipe 9.2. Both the cooling water inlet pipe 9.1 and the heating water inlet pipe 9.2 are open at one end and closed at the other.

[0037] The main water outlet pipe 10 includes a cooling water outlet pipe 10.1 and a heating water outlet pipe 10.2, both of which are open at one end and closed at the other. A cooling system water outlet pipe assembly 5 is connected to the side wall of the cooling water outlet pipe 10.1, and a heating system water outlet pipe assembly 4 is connected to the side wall of the heating water outlet pipe 10.2. A compression ring 13 is provided on the open side of both the cooling water outlet pipe 10.1 and the heating water outlet pipe 10.2, and the compression ring 13 is used to secure the cooling system water outlet pipe 10.1 to the side wall of the heating system water outlet pipe 10.2. Two one-way valves 29 are welded between the cooling water outlet main pipe 10.1 and the heating water outlet main pipe 10.2, so that the cooling water outlet main pipe 10.1 and the heating water outlet main pipe 10.2 are connected and communicate with each other through the second one-way valve 29; wherein the water outlet branch pipe 12 includes: cooling water outlet branch pipe 12.1 and heating water outlet branch pipe 12.2, multiple cooling water outlet branch pipes 12.1 are connected to the side wall of the cooling water outlet main pipe 10.1, and multiple heating water outlet branch pipes 12.2 are connected to the side wall of the heating water outlet main pipe 10.2.
[0038] The first check valve 14 on the inlet water main 9 only allows fluid to flow from the heating inlet water main 9.2 to the cooling inlet water main 9.1, and the second check valve 29 on the outlet water main 10 only allows fluid to flow from the cooling outlet water main 10.1 to the heating outlet water main 10.2. All check valves are equipped with automatic pressure controllers, which operate the check valves only during heating by controlling the different pressure differences during cooling and heating.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, during cooling, all one-way valves automatically close under the influence of the cooling pressure difference. Cold water flowing into the cooling inlet main pipe 9.1, restricted by the first one-way valve 14, flows through the cooling inlet branch pipe 11.1 into the circulation system within the surface cooler assembly 8 for heat dissipation and cooling. The circulated cold water flows out from the cooling outlet branch pipe 12.1 to the cooling outlet main pipe 10.1, and under the restriction of the second one-way valve 29, the cold water flows out from the cooling system outlet pipe assembly 5. During heating, all one-way valves automatically close under the influence of the cooling pressure difference. Under the influence of thermal pressure difference, it operates on its own. Hot water enters the heating inlet main pipe 9.2 and flows along the direction of the first one-way valve 14 to fill the entire inlet main pipe 9. Then, it flows from the cooling inlet branch pipe 11.1 and the heating inlet main pipe 11.2 into the circulation system in the surface cooler assembly 8 for heating, thereby increasing the heat exchange area. After circulation, the hot water flows from all the outlet branch pipes 12 to the outlet main pipe 10. The hot water in the cooling outlet main pipe 10.1 will flow out from the heating system outlet pipe assembly 4 along the second one-way valve 29.
[0040] The number and position of the heating water inlet branch pipe 11.2 and the heating water outlet branch pipe 12.2 are corresponding, and the number and position of the cooling water inlet branch pipe 11.1 and the cooling water outlet branch pipe 12.1 are corresponding.
[0041] like Figure 9 As shown, the cooling system water inlet pipe assembly 6 is externally connected to a cooling water inlet pipe 15, and a shut-off valve 20 is installed on the cooling water inlet pipe 15. The heating system water inlet pipe assembly 7 is externally connected to a heating water inlet pipe 16. The control board controls the opening and closing of the shut-off valve 20 through electrical signals, so that cold water can flow out first when heating is in operation by controlling the opening and closing of the shut-off valve 20.
[0042] The heating system water outlet pipe assembly 4 is externally connected to the heating water outlet pipe 18, and the heating water outlet pipe 18 is equipped with a heating system water valve 21. The cooling system water outlet pipe assembly 5 is externally connected to the cooling water outlet pipe 17, and the cooling water outlet pipe 17 is equipped with a cooling system water valve 23.
[0043] like Figure 10As shown in the specific embodiment, when the air conditioner is in cooling, fan, or dehumidification mode, the air conditioner is cooling, the shut-off valve 20 is normally open, the heating system water valve 21 is closed, and all one-way valves close automatically due to the pressure difference during cooling. Cold water is introduced into the cooling system water inlet pipe 15 and enters the cooling system water inlet pipe assembly 6. The cold water flows into the cooling water inlet main pipe 9.1 and is restricted by the first one-way valve 14. It then flows through the cooling water inlet branch pipe 11.1 into the circulation system within the surface cooler assembly 8 for heat dissipation and cooling. The circulated cold water flows out from the cooling water outlet branch pipe 12.1 and reaches the cooling water outlet main pipe 10.1. The cold water on the cooling water outlet main pipe 10.1 is restricted by the second one-way valve 29 and flows out from the cooling water outlet pipe 17 through the cooling system water outlet pipe assembly 5. When the air conditioner is not in cooling, fan, or dehumidification mode, the air conditioner is heating. The control main board electrical signal controls the shut-off valve 20 to close first, then delays the opening of the heating system water valve 21 and closes the cooling system water valve. 23. This allows sufficient time for all the previously cooled water to flow out. All one-way valves operate automatically due to the pressure difference during heating. Hot water flows into the heating system inlet pipe assembly 6 through the heating inlet pipe 16 and reaches the heating inlet main pipe 9.2. The hot water flows along the direction of the first one-way valve 14, filling the entire inlet main pipe 9 and flowing into the circulation system within the surface cooler assembly 8 from all inlet branch pipes 11 for heating. This maximizes the heat exchange area, significantly improving heating capacity without increasing water temperature and reducing energy consumption. The circulated hot water flows out from all outlet branch pipes 12 and reaches the outlet main pipe 10. The hot water in the heating outlet main pipe 10.2 flows along the second one-way valve 29 into the heating system outlet pipe assembly 4 and flows out from the heating outlet pipe 18. This utility model achieves the sharing of the cooling circulation system during heating by opening and closing the one-way valve, simplifying the structure and significantly improving heating efficiency. At the same time, the connection between the main pipe and branch pipes further simplifies the inlet and outlet pipe structure and reduces the difficulty of production and assembly.
[0044] Preferably, the water in this invention can be replaced with other media, such as chemical agents.

[0047] This utility model also provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including the following steps:
[0048] Step 1: When the air conditioner is in cooling, ventilation, or dehumidification mode, the air conditioner is cooling, the shut-off valve 20 is normally open, and the heating system water valve 21 is closed.
[0049] Step 2: All one-way valves close automatically due to the pressure difference during refrigeration. Cold water is introduced into the refrigeration system inlet pipe 15 and enters the refrigeration system inlet pipe assembly 6 to reach the main inlet pipe 9. The cold water is restricted in the direction of flow by the first one-way valve 14 in the main inlet pipe 9 and will flow into the surface cooler assembly 8 through the refrigeration inlet branch pipe 11.1 for heat dissipation and cooling.
[0050] Step 3: The circulated chilled water flows out from the chilled water outlet branch pipe 12.1 and reaches the chilled water outlet main pipe 10.1. The chilled water is restricted by the second one-way valve 29 and flows out from the chilled water outlet pipe 17 along the chilled system outlet pipe assembly 5.
[0051] Step 4: When the air conditioner is not in cooling, fan, or dehumidification mode, it will switch to heating mode. The shut-off valve 20 will close first, and after a delay, the heating system water valve 21 will open, while the cooling system water valve 23 will close, allowing cold water to flow out fully.
[0052] Step 5: All one-way valves operate automatically due to the pressure difference during heating. Hot water flows into the heating system inlet pipe assembly 6 through the heating inlet pipe 16 and reaches the main inlet pipe 9. The hot water fills the entire main inlet pipe 9 along the first one-way valve 14 and flows into the surface cooler assembly 8 from all the inlet branch pipes 11 for heating.
[0053] Step 6: The circulated hot water flows out from all the outlet branch pipes 12 to the outlet main pipe 10. The hot water in the heating outlet main pipe 10.2 flows through the second one-way valve 29 to the heating system outlet pipe assembly 4 and flows out from the heating outlet pipe 18.

[0055] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that, compared with the prior art, the refrigeration and heating of this utility model share a single circulation system, which simplifies the structure, reduces the footprint, and facilitates subsequent maintenance. At the same time, the water inlet system and the water outlet system are connected through main pipes and branch pipes, which further simplifies the structure of the water inlet and outlet pipelines, reduces the difficulty of production and assembly and the failure rate, and facilitates subsequent maintenance.
[0056] This utility model is equipped with one-way valves on both the main outlet and inlet water pipes. The automatic pressure controller inside the one-way valve ensures that the one-way valve only operates in heating mode. This allows cold water to be discharged first during heating through the shut-off valve, avoiding any impact on heating efficiency. At the same time, the one-way valve allows hot water to flow in all inlet branch pipes during heating, enabling the heating system to share the same circulation system as the cooling system. This eliminates the need to separate the heating and cooling systems, significantly improving both heating and cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the flow of hot water in all branch pipes maximizes the heat exchange area, greatly increasing heating capacity without raising the water temperature. This reduces equipment energy consumption and load, and improves equipment durability.
