Description

A heat pump water heater heat quantity detection device and detection method

[0001] The present application claims priority from Chinese Patent Application No. CN202411139548.4, filed on August 20, 2024, entitled "A heat pump water heater heat quantity detection device and detection method", which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of heat pump water heaters, and in particular to a heat pump water heater heat quantity detection device and detection method. BACKGROUND

[0003] A heat pump water heater is a device that, based on the inverse Carnot cycle, transfers heat energy in a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source through the circulation of refrigerant between an evaporator and a condenser, thereby heating the water temperature. However, the test method and test device provided in the existing standard are affected by pipe and standard water tank heat leakage, and there is a large test uncertainty in itself, with large deviation and poor consistency of the measured results.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the patent document with authorization announcement No. CN106768495B discloses a commercial circulating heat pump water heater performance test device and test method. The device includes a water outlet temperature measuring element, a water inlet temperature measuring element, a standard water tank, a three-way valve, and a connecting pipeline. The three ports of the three-way valve are respectively connected with the water outlet pipeline of the measured machine, the constant temperature water inlet pipeline, and the standard water tank. A flow meter is arranged on the water inlet pipeline between the three-way valve and the standard water tank. A water pump is arranged on the water outlet pipeline of the standard water tank. The heat pump heat quantity of the measured machine is directly calculated by the measured inlet and outlet water temperature and water flow. The water injection quantity is controlled by the three-way valve and the flow meter, which reduces the interference factors in the test process and improves the test precision of the heat pump heat quantity.

[0005] However, for the heat pump water heater equipped with a water tank, it is mostly static heating type, mainly by embedding heating coil in the water tank, using the heating coil to transfer the heat of the refrigerant to the water in the water tank to heat the water in the water tank, and the water in the water tank has poor flowability, so that the water in the water tank can only rely on static heat transfer, which makes the heating uneven and there is obvious temperature gradient, resulting in that the water temperature detected by the sensor of the product is not the average temperature of the water tank in the true sense, so that after the test is completed, the temperature of the water tank after mixing water exceeds the requirement of 55±0.5℃ according to the standard, the test fails, and additional time, manpower and material resources need to be invested to retest, resulting in increased cost of performance test; in addition, the above test device and test method calculate the heating capacity of the host side by measuring the water temperature at the inlet and outlet of the host, the circulating water flow and the heating time, which does not consider the heat leakage and heat storage of the pipeline and the water tank, so that the test result has large deviation from the actual use, losing practical significance.
