The three-medium heat exchanger 1 is a heat exchanger capable of realizing arbitrary two-by-two direct heat exchange between air and two refrigerants, and can be used for replacing the traditional two-medium air-cooled heat exchanger, so that the three-medium heat exchanger can meet the requirements in various heat exchange scenes.

The three-medium heat exchanger 1 is provided with the fan 5, and the fan 5 can promote heat exchange between the heat pump heat source pipeline 3 and ambient air, so that the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that, the heat pump heat exchanger 8 mainly supplies heat to the user side, the user side usually uses hot water with a relatively high temperature (i.e., the first coolant is hot water), while the heat taking system 100 and the defrosting system 300 are mainly configured to be installed outdoors, and the outdoor temperature is relatively low and may be lower than 0 ℃, so that the second coolant used in the defrosting system 300 usually needs to be added with an antifreeze solution, and therefore, the intermediate heat exchanger 7 is used for performing secondary heat exchange defrosting.
The second regulating valve 16 is disposed between the intermediate heat exchange pipeline 23 and the user heat source pipeline 22, and the second regulating valve 16 can regulate the medium flow, so as to conveniently regulate and control the operation state of the defrosting system 300. When the defrost system 300 needs to defrost the frosted three medium heat exchanger 1, the second regulating valve 16 is opened; when the three-medium heat exchanger 1 does not need defrosting, the second regulating valve 16 is closed. The intermediate heat exchanger 7 may be a partition wall heat exchanger.

Second embodiment: the defrosting heat source pipeline can be a third heat exchange pipeline in the heat pump heat exchanger (in this case, the heat pump heat exchanger can be a three-way heat exchanger, such as a three-way plate heat exchanger, which is not illustrated in the figure), and the defrosting heat source pipeline can directly exchange heat with the user heat source pipeline in the heat pump heat exchanger. The embodiment can reduce the number of heat exchangers, save pipelines and simplify the system.
In the embodiment, the outdoor heat exchanger adopts the plurality of groups of three-medium heat exchangers 1, the outside of the outdoor heat exchanger not only can exchange heat between the refrigerant and the air, but also comprises a second secondary refrigerant channel and a refrigerant channel, and different loops are adopted for defrosting and absorbing heat, so that the self-defrosting of the direct expansion heat exchanger is realized, the possibility of fluid mixing is avoided, the pipeline structure is simplified, and the heat transfer loss is reduced.

The present embodiment omits the intermediate heat exchanger 7 of fig. 1-3 and simplifies the construction by directly diverting a portion of the first coolant to the defrost system 300 via the heat pump heat exchanger 8. The antifreeze is often required to be added into the first coolant at the user side, so as to avoid the first coolant in the defrosting system 300 from being frozen due to the influence of external environment in the flowing process in the pipeline, and ensure the stable operation of the defrosting system 300.
In this embodiment, the first circulation pump 17 is disposed at the outlet or inlet of the user heat source line 22, and the first circulation pump 17 supplies the first coolant to the user line 10 and the defrost line 2, respectively, and the second circulation pump 15 can be omitted.

During operation, the medium circulation of each heat pump heat source pipeline 3 can be regulated by controlling the opening degree of the throttling device 4 according to the requirements.

The first regulating valve 11 is closed and the second circulation pump 15 is closed to stop the operation of the defrost system 300, the second regulating valve 16 is also closed in fig. 2, the broken line path in fig. 2 representing a broken line, i.e. the line is not in operation.
Referring to fig. 3, the heating defrost mode: when the heat extraction system 100 includes a plurality of three-medium heat exchangers 1, a heat pump heat source pipeline 3 of a part of the three-medium heat exchangers requiring defrosting is referred to as a first heat pump heat source pipeline, and a first throttling device corresponding to the first heat pump heat source pipeline is closed so as to stop heat extraction of the first heat pump heat source pipeline; the heat pump heat source pipeline 3 of the three-medium heat exchanger for heat extraction at the other part is called a second heat pump heat source pipeline, and a second throttling device corresponding to the second heat pump heat source pipeline is opened; the three-medium heat exchanger 1 provided with the first heat pump heat source pipeline can be called a first heat exchanger, and the first heat exchanger is also provided with a first defrosting pipeline; the three-medium heat exchanger provided with the second heat pump heat source pipeline can be called a second heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger is also provided with a second defrosting pipeline.
The second heat pump heat source pipeline, the compressor 14, the heat release pipeline 21 and the second throttling device are sequentially communicated, and the second heat pump heat source pipeline is used for taking heat and supplying heat to the heat supply system 200; the user heat source pipeline 22, the first circulating pump 17 and the user pipeline 10 are sequentially communicated, and the first secondary refrigerant circulates between the user heat source pipeline 22 and the user pipeline 10 so that the user pipeline 10 supplies heat to the user; the first regulating valve of the defrosting branch where the first defrosting pipeline is located is opened, and the first defrosting pipeline, the first regulating valve, the defrosting heat source pipeline and the second circulating pump 15 are communicated; the first regulating valve of the defrosting branch where the second defrosting pipeline is located is closed.

Or, referring to fig. 4, when the defrost heat source line is the user heat source line 22, a portion of the first coolant in the user heat source line 22 flows toward the first defrost line and another portion of the first coolant flows toward the user line 10, the first coolant releases heat in the first defrost line toward the three-medium heat exchanger, and the first coolant circulates until defrost is completed.
As shown in fig. 3, a part of the three-medium heat exchanger 1 may be completely stopped, and neither heat extraction nor defrosting is performed. The three-medium heat exchanger 1 can adjust the running state according to the requirement. The broken line in fig. 3 indicates that an open circuit is formed.
Therefore, referring to fig. 3, the self-defrosting of the direct expansion air source heat pump unit is realized, the defrosting heat transfer link is simplified, the system structure is simplified, and the heat transfer loss is reduced. In view of the fact that the defrosting of the outdoor side three-medium heat exchanger 1 is intermittently performed, it may be necessary to maintain the fluidity of the second coolant using an antifreeze solution, while the first coolant, which normally supplies heat directly to the user side, is hot water having a relatively high temperature, and therefore the defrosting system 300 is separated from the user side heating system 200 by a dividing wall heat exchanger, that is, the defrosting mode in fig. 3 is defrosting by performing secondary heat exchange using the intermediate heat exchanger 7. Referring to fig. 4, the first coolant in the user heat source line 22 of the heat pump heat exchanger 8 is directly utilized for defrosting, and is suitable for the case that the first coolant supplied to the user side is antifreeze, that is, the lines of the heating system 200 and the defrosting system 300 are filled with antifreeze.
In one embodiment, when the defrost system 300 includes the intermediate heat exchanger 7, the second regulator valve 16 is opened to communicate the intermediate heat exchange circuit 23 with the user heat source circuit 22, a portion of the first coolant in the user heat source circuit 22 flows into the intermediate heat exchange circuit 23, the second coolant in the defrost heat source circuit 24 absorbs heat from the first coolant in the intermediate heat exchange circuit 23, and the first coolant returns to the user heat source circuit 22 after releasing heat.
According to the operation method of the embodiment, a plurality of three-medium heat exchangers 1 in the form of direct expansion of the refrigerant are utilized to absorb heat in the air, so that the defrosting problem of the air-cooled air source heat pump unit in the form of direct expansion is solved while uninterrupted heat supply to a user side is ensured; in addition, the device is simplified, and the operation reliability of the system is further improved.
