Example 3
The embodiment provides a multi-module multi-connected unit, which comprises at least two outdoor unit modules in the above embodiments, wherein communication pipelines 3 of different outdoor unit modules are communicated with each other; the first pipeline of each outdoor unit module is communicated to a first main pipeline which is communicated with a first port of the indoor unit; the second pipeline of each outdoor unit module is communicated to a second main pipeline, and the second main pipeline is communicated with a second port of the indoor unit.
The heat exchange process of the multi-module multi-unit set including two outdoor unit modules, i.e., a first outdoor unit module and a second outdoor unit module, in the case that the multi-module multi-unit set operates in the cooling mode and the fan 22 of the first outdoor unit module fails (i.e., the heat exchange unit of the first outdoor unit module fails) is described below with reference to fig. 3:
fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first multi-module multi-connected unit refrigerating mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, in case that the fan 22 of the first outdoor unit module is out of order and the multi-connected unit operates in the cooling mode, the compressor 11 of the first outdoor unit module is turned on, the four-way valve 12 is turned off, if the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is closed, refrigerant will be stored in the condenser 21, and in addition, the driving plate of the compressor adopts refrigerant for heat dissipation, and a certain refrigerant circulation is also needed to ensure the heat dissipation effect, therefore, the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is opened for a preset number of steps, when the preset number of steps is smaller than the number of steps of opening the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 when the outdoor unit module is in a normal state, the fan 22 is closed, the communicating valve EXV1 is opened, the compressor 11 of the second outdoor unit module is opened, the four-way valve 12 is powered off, the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is opened, the fan 22 is opened, and the communicating valve EXV1 is opened.
In the first outdoor unit module, the refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 11, passes through the oil separator 14 and the four-way valve 12, and because the number of steps for opening the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is small, only a small portion of the refrigerant flows through the heat expansion valve EXV2 of the first outdoor unit module, and a large portion of the refrigerant can only enter the condenser 21 of the second outdoor unit module through the communication valve EXV1 on the communication pipeline 3 for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is finished, the refrigerant enters the indoor unit through the subcooler 23 and the second valve EV2 of the second outdoor unit module, and finally returns to the compressors 11 of the first outdoor unit module and the second outdoor unit module through the first valve EV1 and the gas-liquid separator 13 of the first outdoor unit module and the second outdoor unit module respectively to finish the refrigeration cycle after the indoor heat exchange is finished.
With reference to fig. 4, a heat exchange process of the multi-module multi-connected unit including N outdoor unit modules when the multi-module multi-connected unit operates in a cooling mode and the fan 22 of the first outdoor unit module fails (i.e., the heat exchange portion of the first outdoor unit module fails) is described as follows:
fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a second multi-module multi-connected unit in a cooling mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, when the fan 22 of the first outdoor unit module fails and the multi-connected unit operates in the cooling mode, the compressor 11 of the first outdoor unit module is turned on, the four-way valve 12 is turned off, the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is turned on by a preset number of steps, where the preset number of steps is smaller than the number of steps of turning on the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 when the outdoor unit module is in a normal state, the fan 22 is turned off, the communication valve EXV1 is turned on, the compressor 11 of the second outdoor unit module to the nth outdoor unit module is turned on, the four-way valve 12 is turned off, the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is turned on, the fan 22 is turned on, and the communication valve EXV1 is turned on.
In the first outdoor unit module, the refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 11, passes through the oil separator 14 and the four-way valve 12, and because the number of steps for opening the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is small, only a small portion of the refrigerant flows through the heat expansion valve EXV2 of the first outdoor unit module, and most of the refrigerant can only enter the condenser 21 from the second outdoor unit module to the nth outdoor unit module through the communication valve EXV1 on the communication pipeline 3 for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is finished, the refrigerant enters the indoor unit through the subcooler 23 and the second valve EV2 from the second outdoor unit module to the Nth outdoor unit module, and finally returns to the compressor 11 from the first outdoor unit module to the Nth outdoor unit module through the first valve EV1 and the gas-liquid separator 13 respectively after the indoor heat exchange is finished, so that the refrigeration cycle is finished.
The following describes, with reference to fig. 5, a heat exchange process of the multi-module multi-unit set when the multi-module multi-unit set includes two outdoor unit modules, i.e., a first outdoor unit module and a second outdoor unit module, and the multi-module multi-unit set operates in a heating mode and the fan 22 of the first outdoor unit module fails (i.e., the heat exchange portion of the first outdoor unit module fails):
fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a third multi-module multi-connected unit in a heating mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the compressor 11 of the first outdoor unit module is turned on, the four-way valve 12 is powered on, and the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is turned on for a preset number of steps, where the preset number of steps is smaller than the number of steps for turning on the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 when the outdoor unit module is in a normal state, the fan 22 is turned off, the communication valve EXV1 is turned on, the compressor 11 of the second outdoor unit module is turned on, the four-way valve 12 is powered on, the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 is turned on, the fan 22 is turned on, and the communication valve EXV1 is turned on.
In the first outdoor unit module and the second outdoor unit module, the refrigerant is discharged from the respective compressor 11, and enters the indoor unit through the four-way valve 12 and the first valve EV1, after the indoor heat exchange is completed, because the step number of opening the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 of the first outdoor unit module is small, only a small part of the refrigerant flows through the heat expansion valve EXV2 of the first outdoor unit module, most of the refrigerant can only flow to the heat exchange part of the second outdoor unit module through the communication valve EXV1 on the communication pipeline 3, and enters the condenser 21 of the second outdoor unit module through the second valve EV2, the subcooler 23 and the heat exchange expansion valve EXV2 of the second outdoor unit module to exchange heat, after the heat exchange is completed, the refrigerant can be divided into two paths, one path returns to the compressor 11 of the second outdoor unit module through the four-way valve 12 and the gas-liquid separator 13 of the second outdoor unit module, and the other path enters the four-way valve 12 and the gas-liquid separator 13 of the first outdoor unit module through the communication pipeline 3, finally, the refrigerant returns to the compressor 11 of the first outdoor unit module to complete the heating cycle.
