Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to examples, which are provided to illustrate the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1 to 2, the present invention provides an air conditioning system, which includes a first refrigerant circulation loop and a second refrigerant circulation loop. The first refrigerant circulation loop includes an outdoor heat exchanger 110, a gas-liquid separator 120, a first compressor 130, and an indoor heat exchanger 140, which are disposed in series. The first refrigerant circulation loop is a main heating/cooling loop of the air conditioning system. The outdoor heat exchanger 110, the gas-liquid separator 120, the first compressor 130, and the indoor heat exchanger 140 can be connected in series to form a heating circuit. In an alternative embodiment, the outdoor heat exchanger 110, the gas-liquid separator 120, the first compressor 130, and the indoor heat exchanger 140 can also be connected in series to form a refrigeration circuit.
In one embodiment, the first refrigerant circulation circuit further includes a second four-way valve 160. The valve port T of the second four-way valve 160 is connected to the discharge port S of the first compressor 130. The valve port O of the second four-way valve 160 is connected to the first end of the indoor heat exchanger 140. The valve port P of the second four-way valve 160 is connected to the first end of the gas-liquid separator 120. The valve port Q of the second four-way valve 160 is connected to the first end of the outdoor heat exchanger 110. A second end of the indoor heat exchanger 140 is connected to a second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 110. The second end of the gas-liquid separator 120 is connected to the gas inlet S of the compressor. When the valve port T is connected to the valve port O and the valve port P is connected to the valve port Q, a heating cycle loop of the first compressor 130, the indoor heat exchanger 140, the outdoor heat exchanger 110, and the gas-liquid separator 120, which are sequentially connected in series in the refrigerant flow direction, is formed. When the valve port T is connected to the valve port Q and the valve port O is connected to the valve port P, a refrigeration cycle of the first compressor 130, the outdoor heat exchanger 110, the indoor heat exchanger 140, and the gas-liquid separator 120, which are sequentially connected in series in a refrigerant flow direction, is formed.
The specific arrangement of the first refrigerant circulation circuit is not limited to the above embodiment, as long as the air conditioning system can perform heating/cooling through the first refrigerant circulation circuit, for example, a subcooler 150 may be further disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger 110 and the indoor heat exchanger 140, the exhaust port of the first compressor 130 may be further connected to the oil separator 131, the refrigerant in the oil separator 131 may be further returned to the first compressor 130 through an oil return line, and a throttling device (such as an electronic expansion valve) may be further disposed on the first refrigerant circulation circuit.
The second refrigerant circulation circuit and the first refrigerant circulation circuit may be two circulation circuits independent of each other. The second refrigerant circulation loop may include a first heat exchanger 210, a throttling device 280, a second heat exchanger 220, and a second compressor 230, which are sequentially connected in series. The first heat exchanger 210 may be disposed at a periphery and/or a bottom of the first compressor 130. The second heat exchanger 220 may be disposed at the periphery and/or bottom of the gas-liquid separator 120.
In an embodiment, the second compressor 230, the second heat exchanger 220, the throttling device 280 and the first heat exchanger 210 can be further connected in series in the refrigerant flow direction. When the second compressor 230, the second heat exchanger 220, the throttling device 280 and the first heat exchanger 210 are sequentially connected in series in the refrigerant flow direction, the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation loop releases heat at the gas-liquid separator 120 through the second heat exchanger 220. This may be used for the heating start of the air conditioning system, that is, the heating start of the first refrigerant circulation circuit, so that the refrigerant stored in the gas-liquid separator 120 in the liquid form in the gas-liquid separator 120 is quickly gasified and enters the first refrigerant circulation circuit, so that the air conditioning system is quickly heated, and at this time, the air conditioning system is in a quick heating start mode.
In an embodiment, the first heat exchanger 210 may be disposed at a periphery and/or a bottom of the first compressor 130. The second compressor 230, the first heat exchanger 210, the throttling device 280, and the second heat exchanger 220 may be sequentially connected in series in a refrigerant flow direction. When the first refrigerant circulation circuit is stopped (for example, the four ports of the second four-way valve 160 are all opened), the second compressor 230, the first heat exchanger 210, the throttling device 280 and the second heat exchanger 220 are sequentially connected in series along the refrigerant flowing direction, so that the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation circuit releases heat at the first compressor 130 through the first heat exchanger 210, absorbs heat at the gas-liquid separator 120 through the second heat exchanger 220, so that the internal temperature of the first compressor 130 is higher than the ambient temperature, and the internal temperature of the gas-liquid separator 120 is lower than the ambient temperature, thereby transferring the liquid refrigerant stored in the first compressor 130 into the gas-liquid separator 120, and at this time, the air conditioning system is in the refrigerant recovery mode. When the outdoor environment temperature is low, the liquid refrigerant stored in the first compressor 130 can be completely transferred to the gas-liquid separator 120 by operating the air conditioning system in the refrigerant recovery mode, so that the phenomenon of liquid impact of the first compressor 130 when the first refrigerant circulation loop starts to operate is avoided, and the reliability of operation of the first compressor 130 is improved.
In one embodiment, the air conditioning system is switchable between the refrigerant recovery mode and the rapid heating start mode. The second refrigerant circulation circuit may further include a first control device 240. The first control device 240 may be connected to the discharge port M of the second compressor 230, the intake port N of the second compressor 230, the first heat exchanger 210, and the second heat exchanger 220, respectively. Referring to fig. 1, in the refrigerant recovery mode, the first control device 240 controls the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the first heat exchanger 210, and controls the intake port N of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the second heat exchanger 220, so that the second compressor 230, the second heat exchanger 220 and the first heat exchanger 210 are sequentially connected in series along the refrigerant flow direction. Referring to fig. 2, in the rapid heating start mode, the first control device 240 controls the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the second heat exchanger 220, and controls the intake port N of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the first heat exchanger 210, so that the second compressor 230, the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are sequentially connected in series along the refrigerant flow direction.
In an embodiment, the first control device 240 may include a first four-way valve 241. The valve port a of the first four-way valve 241 may be connected to the discharge port M of the second compressor 230. Valve port B of the first four-way valve 241 may be connected to the second heat exchanger 220. The valve port C of the first four-way valve may be connected to the intake port N of the second compressor 230. The valve port D of the first four-way valve may be connected to the first heat exchanger 210. In the refrigerant recovery mode, the valve port a may be connected to the valve port D so that the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 communicates with the first heat exchanger 210; the valve port C may communicate with the valve port B such that the inlet N of the second compressor 230 is connected to the second heat exchanger 220. In the rapid heating start mode, the valve port a may be connected to the valve port B so as to communicate the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 with the second heat exchanger 220; the valve port C may be connected to the valve port D so that the inlet N of the second compressor 230 communicates with the first heat exchanger 210.
In an embodiment, the air conditioning system may further have a supplemental air enthalpy mode. Specifically, the first control device 240 may be further connected to the medium pressure chamber of the first compressor 130. The second refrigerant circulation circuit may further include a second control device. The second control device may be connected to the inlet N of the second compressor 230, the first control device 240, and the outlet of the subcooler 150, respectively. In the refrigerant recovery mode and the rapid heating start mode, the second control device may control the air inlet N of the second compressor 230 to be connected with the first control device 240. Referring to fig. 3, in the air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing mode, the second control device may control the air inlet N of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the air outlet of the subcooler 150, and the first control device 240 may control the air outlet M of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the medium-pressure chamber of the first compressor. At this time, the second compressor 230 is connected to the first refrigerant circulation circuit, and the gas refrigerant discharged from the subcooler 150 may enter the second compressor 230 for primary compression and then enter the first compressor 130 for secondary compression, so that the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circulation circuit is secondarily compressed, and the low-temperature heating capacity of the air conditioning system may be significantly improved. The air supplementing and enthalpy increasing mode can be entered after the first refrigerant circulation loop is stable in operation, for example, the air supplementing and enthalpy increasing mode can be directly switched from the rapid heating starting mode after the first refrigerant circulation loop is stable in operation.
In an embodiment, the first control device 240 may further include a first three-way valve 242. The valve port G of the first three-way valve 242 may be connected to the discharge port M of the second compressor 230. The port E of the first three-way valve 242 may be connected to the port a of the first four-way valve 241. The valve port F of the first three-way valve 242 may be connected to the intermediate pressure chamber of the first compressor 130. In the refrigerant recovery mode and the rapid heating start mode, the valve port G may be connected to the valve port E such that the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 communicates with the valve port a of the first four-way valve 241. In the air-supplementing and enthalpy-increasing mode, the valve port G may be connected to the valve port F, so that the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 communicates with the medium pressure chamber of the first compressor 130.
In an embodiment, the second control device may include a second three-way valve 250. The valve port H of the second three-way valve 250 may be connected to the inlet N of the second compressor 230. The valve port I of the second three-way valve 250 may be connected to the exhaust port of the subcooler 150. The port G of the second three-way valve 250 may be connected to the first control device 240, for example, the port C of the first four-way valve. In the refrigerant recovery mode and the rapid heating start mode, the valve port H is connected to the valve port C, so that the inlet N of the second compressor 230 is connected to the first control device 240. In the air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing mode, the valve port H is connected to the valve port I, so that the air inlet N of the second compressor 230 communicates with the air outlet of the subcooler 150.
In an embodiment, the second refrigerant circulation circuit may further include a liquid storage tank 260 disposed between the first control device 240 and the second control device. A first switching device 271 may be provided between the liquid storage tank 260 and the first control device 240. A second switching device 272 may be provided between the reservoir 260 and the second control device. When the air conditioning system is switched from the rapid heating start mode to the air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing mode, the second switch device 272 may be turned off first, the first switch device 271 may be turned off after the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation loop completely enters the liquid storage tank 260, and finally the second compressor 230 may be connected to the first refrigerant circulation loop under the switching of the first control device 240 and the second control device. By doing so, the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circulation loop and the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation loop can circulate independently and independently without affecting each other. The liquid storage tank 260 may be disposed between the port C of the first four-way valve 241 and the port G of the second three-way valve 250. The first switching means 271 and/or the second switching means 272 may be solenoid valves.
In an embodiment, the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 may be heat exchange coils. The throttle device 280 may be an electronic expansion valve.
The invention also provides a control method of the air conditioning system, which comprises the following steps: when the air conditioning system is on standby, i.e., when the first refrigerant circulation circuit is stopped (for example, when all four ports of the second four-way valve 160 are opened), if the outdoor ambient temperature is detected to be lower than a first preset temperature, the first control device 240 controls the air outlet M of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the first heat exchanger 210, and controls the air inlet N of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the second heat exchanger 220, so that the air conditioning system is operated in the refrigerant recovery mode. The first preset temperature may be set according to actual requirements, for example, may be set to-20 degrees celsius. The air conditioning system can operate for a preset time t1 in the refrigerant recovery mode. The preset time t1 may be a time for the cooling medium in the first compressor 130 to be entirely transferred to the gas-liquid separator 120 in the cooling medium recovery mode.
Further, when heating is required, the first refrigerant circulation circuit may be started, and the first control device 240 may control the exhaust port M of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the second heat exchanger 220, and control the intake port N of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the first heat exchanger 210, so that the air conditioning system enters the rapid heating start mode.
Further, after the operation of the first refrigerant circulation loop is stable, the second control device may control the air inlet N of the second compressor 230 to be communicated with the air outlet of the subcooler 150, so that the first control device may control the air outlet M of the second compressor 230 to be communicated with the medium-pressure cavity of the first compressor 130, thereby enabling the air conditioning system to enter the air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing mode.
Further, before the second control device controls the air inlet N of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the air outlet of the subcooler 150 and the first control device controls the air outlet M of the second compressor 230 to communicate with the medium pressure chamber of the first compressor 130, that is, when the rapid heating start mode is switched to the air-supplementing enthalpy-increasing mode, the method may further include the following steps: s1, closing the second switching device 272; and S2, turning off the first switching device 271 for a predetermined time t 2. The preset time t2 may be a time for the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation circuit to entirely enter the liquid storage tank 260. By doing so, the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation loop and the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circulation loop are not interfered with each other when the second compressor is connected to the first refrigerant circulation loop.
In the invention, a second refrigerant circulation loop is added outside a main heating/refrigerating loop (namely a first refrigerant circulation loop) of the air conditioning system, and the second refrigerant circulation loop can exchange heat with a first compressor and a gas-liquid separator on the first refrigerant circulation loop respectively. When the outdoor environment temperature is lower and the outdoor unit is in a low-temperature environment, the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation loop can be enabled to release heat at the first compressor and absorb heat at the gas-liquid separator, so that liquid refrigerant stored in the first compressor is completely transferred to the gas-liquid separator, when the first refrigerant circulation loop is started, the phenomenon of liquid impact in the first compressor can be effectively avoided, and the reliability of the first compressor is improved. In addition, when the outdoor environment temperature is lower and the first refrigerant circulation loop is started for heating, the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circulation loop can release heat at the gas-liquid separator, so that the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator is gasified rapidly and enters the first refrigerant circulation loop for circulation, and the air conditioning system can heat rapidly.
According to the air conditioning system provided by the invention, the second compressor in the second refrigerant circulation loop can be connected into the first refrigerant circulation loop to form two-stage compression with the first compressor in the first refrigerant circulation loop, so that the air supplementing and enthalpy increasing are carried out on the first refrigerant circulation loop, and the heating capacity of the first refrigerant circulation loop is improved.
