Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ground source heat pump technology, and in particular to an auxiliary water supply device for ground source heat pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Ground source heat pumps are a type of high-efficiency and energy-saving air conditioning system. They use the earth as a heat source or heat sink and transfer heat from the soil to the room for heating in winter through underground buried pipe heat exchangers. In summer, they release heat from the room into the soil to achieve cooling. This system utilizes shallow underground geothermal resources, which have a relatively stable temperature, making ground source heat pumps highly efficient, more energy-saving than traditional air conditioning systems, and reducing environmental pollution.

[0003] If a closed-loop ground source heat pump leaks, it will threaten the stable operation of the system. Once a leak is discovered, the leak point must be located and repaired as soon as possible. After that, water should be added to maintain the normal operation of the system. The water replenishment operation usually uses an expansion tank to inject water into the system. However, the current expansion tank has a design shortcoming: it lacks a structure for accurately calculating the amount of water to be added. This makes it impossible to accurately control the amount of water to be added. Once too much water is added, it will cause the ground source heat pump system to have excessive pressure, or even cause the circulating water to overflow, affecting the system performance and safety.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, a new ground source heat pump auxiliary water supply device is proposed. Utility Model Content

The filter seat is U-shaped, and the lower surface of the filter seat is in contact with the inner wall of the water outlet pipe. A first filter screen is bolted to one side of the filter seat.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive seat is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water outlet pipe, and an electric telescopic rod is symmetrically fixedly installed inside the drive seat. The moving end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the filter seat.
