Fig. 4 illustrates the flow chart of control according to the method for the defrosting of first embodiment of the invention and hot water cyclesystem associated with heat pump.
With reference to Fig. 4, when system's 1 work, the temperature T 1 of outdoor heat converter temperature sensing unit 102 and water-refrigerant heat exchanger temperature sensing unit 103 sensing refrigerant pipes and the temperature (S10) of the water of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 31 of flowing through.In control module 100, judge whether the temperature T 1 of refrigerant pipe reduces to the temperature T a that needs defrosting.
When the temperature T 1 of refrigerant pipe drops to the temperature T a that needs defrosting when following, reduce the operating rate (S30) of compressor.And, reduce the speed of outdoor fan and control the aperture of bulge 24, thereby make the temperature of outdoor heat converter 23 raise (S40).Here, bulge 24 can be the electric expansion valve (EEV) that aperture can be controlled, and followingly will describe embodiment of the present invention as the example of bulge with electric expansion valve.
More specifically, if reduce the operating rate of compressor 21 and according to the aperture of the operating rate that reduces control bulge 24, then the temperature of outdoor heat converter 23 inlets raises.In this state, the speed that reduces outdoor fan is with the heat radiation of minimizing to outside air, and alternatively, these heats are used for thawing and are formed on outdoor heat converter 23 lip-deep frostings.
Simultaneously, after the duty of outdoor unit 2 changes, judge whether the temperature T 2 of water-refrigerant heat exchanger 31 is lower than the operation (S50) of design temperature Tb.And, even when the surface that the temperature T 1 of refrigerant pipe remains the temperature T a that is higher than the needs defrosting thereby judges outdoor heat converter 23 does not have frosting or judgement to freeze not proceed to the level that needs defrost operation, still operate S50.
More specifically, in control module 100, judge whether the temperature T 2 of water-refrigerant heat exchanger is lower than design temperature Tb.Wherein, design temperature Tb is the reference temperature value that is used to change the duty of indoor unit 3.For example, when the water temperature of the outlet side of water-refrigerant heat exchanger 23 was lower than design temperature Tb, hot water supply function or heat supply function possibly can't be carried out smoothly.In this case, need optionally make the auxiliary heater 35 that is installed on the header tank 34 or be installed in auxiliary heater 42 work on the hot water cassette for supplying 41, perhaps need control the output of water pump 36.As stated, design temperature Tb can be a fiducial temperature of judging the duty be arranged on fiducial temperature that whether driver 104 on the indoor unit 3 work or control driver 104.
More specifically, when the temperature T 2 of water-refrigerant heat exchanger drops to design temperature Tb when following, auxiliary heater 35,42 work are so that can remain on normal operating conditions (S60) along the temperature of the water of water pipe circulation.Optionally or in auxiliary heater 35,42 work reduce the output of water pump 36, thereby reduce flowing velocity (S60) through the water of water-refrigerant heat exchanger 31.So the flowing velocity of the water through water-refrigerant heat exchanger 31 reduces the time lengthening that makes heat exchange.Therefore, the temperature of the water of the outlet side of water-refrigerant heat exchanger 31 raises.
At this, can be optionally or side by side carry out the driving process of auxiliary heater 35,42 and reduce the process of water pump output.Can also carry out these two processes in order.In the installation process of system 1, can set drive condition by setter, perhaps can drive condition be organized in the program of control module in advance.
