AI Technical Summary
Existing heat pump units have low cooling efficiency in high-temperature environments and low heating efficiency in low-temperature environments, with frequent frosting and limited defrosting efficiency, affecting continuous operation performance.
By adopting a series and parallel structure of evaporative condenser and first heat exchanger, combined with water evaporation heat absorption and forced air convection heat dissipation, the cooling effect in cooling mode is increased. The parallel structure reduces frost formation on heat exchange tubes in low-temperature environments, achieves simultaneous defrosting, and improves heating efficiency.
It improves the performance of heat pump units in high and low temperature environments, expands the applicable temperature range, reduces the frequency and time of defrosting, and ensures continuous operating efficiency.
