Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of a heat pump system according to the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1, the present disclosure provides a heat pump system comprising: the heat exchanger comprises a compressor 1, a first heat exchange device 2, a throttling device 3 and a second heat exchange device 4, wherein the compressor is used for forming at least two refrigerant circulation loops. The at least two refrigerant circulation circuits include, but are not limited to, a first refrigerant circulation circuit and a second refrigerant circulation circuit.
In the first refrigerant circulation loop, a refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 1, sequentially flows through the first heat exchange device 2, the throttling device 3 and the second heat exchange device 4, and then returns to the compressor 1. At this time, the first heat exchanger 2 serves as a condenser in the first refrigerant circulation circuit, and the second heat exchanger 4 serves as an evaporator in the first refrigerant circulation circuit, thereby implementing a refrigeration cycle of the refrigerant.
In the second refrigerant circulation loop, a refrigerant flows out of the compressor 1, sequentially flows through the second heat exchange device 4, the throttling device 3 and the first heat exchange device 2, and then returns to the compressor 1. At this time, the second heat exchanger 4 serves as a condenser in the second refrigerant circulation circuit, and the first heat exchanger 2 serves as an evaporator in the second refrigerant circulation circuit, thereby realizing a heating cycle of the refrigerant.
In order to realize the switching between each refrigerant circulation loop, the heat pump system further comprises: a first switching means 5. The first switching device 5 is configured to switch between the first refrigerant circulation circuit and the second refrigerant circulation circuit. In order to improve the adaptability of the heat pump system to different working modes, the heat pump system further includes a second switching device 6, and the second switching device 6 is configured to switch the inlet and outlet directions of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchange device 2 relative to the first heat exchange device 2.
The first refrigerant circulation loop and the second refrigerant circulation loop are switched through the first switching device in the heat pump system, so that refrigeration or heating circulation of the refrigerant can be achieved, the flowing direction of the refrigerant in the first heat exchange device under different working modes can be controlled through the inlet and outlet direction of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchange device through the second switching device, and the adaptability of the heat pump system in multiple working modes is further improved.
In a heat pump system, the second heat exchange means may be used for heat exchange of user side hot water, while the first heat exchange means may be used for heat exchange of the heat pump system with an ambient heat source (e.g. air, water, etc.). For example, in a heating cycle, the first heat exchange device can absorb heat in air, and the heat is exchanged to water on the user side through the second heat exchange device, so that hot water can be obtained by the user. The second heat exchange means may include, but is not limited to, a plate heat exchanger and the first heat exchange means includes, but is not limited to, a fin heat exchanger.
The compressor 1 in the heat pump system 1 can suck a low-pressure low-temperature refrigerant from the intake port and discharge the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant from the exhaust port by compressing the refrigerant. The throttling device 3 can adopt a capillary tube or an electronic expansion valve and the like, and can perform throttling depressurization and flow regulation on the refrigerant.
The heat pump system may further include other elements, such as a gas-liquid separator 8 in fig. 1, in addition to the compressor 1, the first heat exchanger 2, the throttling device 3, and the second heat exchanger 4, where the gas-liquid separator 8 may be serially disposed between the suction port of the compressor 1 and the first switch device 5, and performs gas-liquid separation on the refrigerant from the first switch device 5, so as to reduce or eliminate liquid refrigerant entering the suction port of the compressor 1, thereby reducing the risk of compressor liquid slugging.
Also for example the filter 9 in fig. 1, the filter 9 may be arranged in series between the second switching device 6 and the throttling device 3, between the throttling device 3 and the second heat exchanging device 4, and/or between the second heat exchanging device 4 and the first switching device 5. The filter 9 can filter the refrigerant, so as to prevent impurities (such as oil stains, metal oxides and the like) in the refrigerant from being filtered, thereby reducing the risk of blocking pipelines and the like.
Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the first switching device 5 comprises: a first four-way valve. The first four-way valve is respectively communicated with the exhaust port of the compressor 1, the first heat exchange device 2, the suction port of the compressor 1 and the second heat exchange device 4. In fig. 1, four ports a, b, c and d of a first four-way valve are respectively in direct or indirect communication with the discharge port of the compressor 1, the first heat exchange means 2, the suction port of the compressor 1 and the second heat exchange means 4.
The first four-way valve enables the exhaust port of the compressor 1 to communicate with the first heat exchange device 2 and the suction port of the compressor 1 to communicate with the second heat exchange device 4 in a first switching state. In fig. 1, a first switching state of the first four-way valve is specifically that the interface a and the interface b of the first four-way valve are communicated, and the interface c and the interface d are communicated. This state may be an on state or an off state of the first four-way valve.
The first four-way valve can also enable the exhaust port of the compressor 1 to be communicated with the second heat exchange device 4 and enable the suction port of the compressor 1 to be communicated with the first heat exchange device 2 in a second switching state. In fig. 1, the second switching state of the first four-way valve is specifically that the interface a and the interface d of the first four-way valve are communicated, and the interface c and the interface b are communicated. This state may be a closed state or an open state of the first four-way valve.
Referring again to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the first heat exchanging device 2 has a first refrigerant port 2a and a second refrigerant port 2b. The second switching device 6 includes: a second four-way valve. The second four-way valve is respectively communicated with the first switching device 5, the first refrigerant port 2a, the throttling device 3 and the second refrigerant port 2b. In fig. 1, four ports a ', b', c ', and d' of the second four-way valve are respectively in direct or indirect communication with the first switching device 5, the first refrigerant port 2a, the throttle device 3, and the second refrigerant port 2b.
The second four-way valve is capable of communicating the throttle device 3 with the first refrigerant port 2a and the first switching device 5 with the second refrigerant port 2b in a third switching state. In fig. 1, the third switching state of the second four-way valve is specifically that the interface a 'and the interface b' of the second four-way valve are communicated, and the interface c 'and the interface d' are communicated. This state may be an on state or an off state of the second four-way valve.
The second four-way valve is also capable of communicating the throttle device 3 with the second refrigerant port 2b and communicating the first switching device 5 with the first refrigerant port 2a in a fourth switching state. In fig. 1, the fourth switching state of the second four-way valve is specifically that the interface a 'and the interface d' of the second four-way valve are communicated, and the interface c 'and the interface b' are communicated. This state may be a closed state or an open state of the second four-way valve.
The heat pump system may have a plurality of operating modes, such as a heating mode and a defrosting mode. In the defrosting mode, the refrigerant circulates in the opposite direction between the respective elements in the heat pump system as compared with the heating mode. In the defrosting mode, the first switching device 5 can switch the heat pump system to a first refrigerant circulation circuit in which a refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 1, sequentially flows through the first heat exchange device 2, the throttling device 3, and the second heat exchange device 4, and then returns to the compressor 1. At this time, the first heat exchange device 2 functions as a condenser in the first refrigerant circulation circuit, and the second heat exchange device 4 functions as an evaporator in the first refrigerant circulation circuit.
In the heating mode, the first switching device 5 can switch the heat pump system to a second refrigerant circulation circuit, and in this refrigerant circulation circuit, the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 1, sequentially flows through the second heat exchange device 4, the throttling device 3, and the first heat exchange device 2, and then returns to the compressor 1. In this case, the second heat exchanger 4 functions as a condenser in the second refrigerant circulation circuit, and the first heat exchanger 2 functions as an evaporator in the second refrigerant circulation circuit.
If the heat pump system does not include the second switching device 6, the refrigerant flowing directions of the first refrigerant circulation loop and the second refrigerant circulation loop are opposite, and the direction in which the refrigerant enters the first heat exchange device 2 in the defrosting mode is also opposite to the direction in which the refrigerant enters the first heat exchange device 2 in the heating mode, so that the refrigerant is difficult to adjust to be the same according to actual needs. In this embodiment, by providing the second switching device 6, the direction of the refrigerant passing through the first heat exchange device 2 in the heating mode relative to the inlet and outlet direction of the refrigerant passing through the first heat exchange device 2 in the defrosting mode relative to the first heat exchange device 2 may be the same, so as to meet the specific requirements of refrigerant control in different working modes.
For the embodiment that the plurality of operation modes further include the cooling mode, the first switching device 5 can be switched to the first refrigerant circulation circuit in both the cooling mode and the defrosting mode, and the first refrigerant circulation circuit is adopted in both the cooling mode and the defrosting mode, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor flows into the first heat exchange device 2 first. The difference is that the first heat exchange device 2 in the cooling mode is used as a condenser to absorb the cooling capacity of the air side, and correspondingly, for the fin heat exchanger adopting the fan, the fan is opened in the cooling mode. In the defrosting mode, the frozen frost layer on the first heat exchange device 2 is melted by using the high temperature of the gaseous refrigerant, and accordingly, for the fin heat exchanger adopting the fan, the fan is closed in the defrosting mode.
The second switching device 6 may enable an in-out direction of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 2 in the refrigeration mode with respect to the first heat exchanger 2 to be opposite to an in-out direction of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 2 in the defrosting mode with respect to the first heat exchanger 2, and may also enable the in-out direction of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 2 in the refrigeration mode with respect to the first heat exchanger 2 to be the same as the in-out direction of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 2 in the defrosting mode with respect to the first heat exchanger 2.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a first heat exchange device in some embodiments of a heat pump system according to the present disclosure. Fig. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a refrigerant flowing direction and an external air flow direction of the first heat exchanging device according to some embodiments of the heat pump system of the disclosure. Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the first heat exchange device 2 comprises: a fan 21 and a finned heat exchanger 22. The fin heat exchanger 22 is disposed on the intake side of the fan 21.
The fin heat exchanger 22 includes a plurality of layers of fins 221 arranged at intervals and refrigerant tubes 222 passing through the plurality of layers of fins 221. A first nozzle 222a of the refrigerant pipe 222 on a side away from the fan 21 and a second nozzle 222b of the refrigerant pipe 222 on a side adjacent to the fan 21 are respectively connected to the second switching device 6. Referring to fig. 1, the first nozzle 222a may correspond to the first refrigerant port 2a of the first heat exchanging device 2, and the second nozzle 222b may correspond to the second refrigerant port 2b of the first heat exchanging device 2.
In fig. 2 and 3, the plurality of layers of fins 221 may be arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotational axis of the fan and may enclose a closed or non-closed region. The fan 21 may be located above the fin heat exchanger 22, and its air inlet is opposite to the area enclosed by the multiple layers of fins 221. Fig. 3 is a view corresponding to the arrangement of the fins and refrigerant tubes in the top view of fig. 2, and it can be seen that the first nozzle 222a and the second nozzle 222b can be arranged on one side of the fin heat exchanger 22 to facilitate the pipe connection.
As can be seen from the airflow direction shown by the solid line with the arrow in fig. 2, when the fan is turned on, the air is collected from the outside to the middle of the fin heat exchanger 22 by the driving of the fan 21, and is blown upward through the fan 21. In the heating mode, air flows into the inner side of the fin 221 (i.e., the right side of the refrigerant pipe 222 in fig. 3) from the outer side of the fin 221 (i.e., the left side of the refrigerant pipe 222 in fig. 3), and the air exchanges heat with the outer side of the fin first, so that the outer frost layer 223a is thicker than the inner frost layer 223 b.
In the defrosting mode of the related art, when the refrigerant flows through the fin heat exchanger 22, the refrigerant first passes through the inner side of the fin 221, which causes the local wall temperature of the fin with thin frost to be higher, and the local wall temperature of the fin with thick frost to be lower, thereby easily causing the problem of slow defrosting or incomplete defrosting.
In this embodiment, the second switching device 6 is capable of communicating the throttling device 3 with the first nozzle 222a and communicating the first switching device 5 with the second nozzle 222b in the heating mode, and communicating the first switching device 5 with the first nozzle 222a and communicating the throttling device 3 with the second nozzle 222b in the defrosting mode.
After the fin heat exchanger 22 frosts in the heating mode, the refrigerant firstly enters the first pipe orifice 222a of the refrigerant pipe 222 corresponding to the part of the fin with thick frosting through the switching of the second switching device 6 in the defrosting mode, and flows out from the second pipe orifice 222b of the refrigerant pipe 222 corresponding to the part of the fin with thin frosting, so that a thicker frost layer is melted through the refrigerant with higher temperature, and a thinner frost layer is melted after the temperature is gradually reduced, so that the melting speed of the frost layer with uneven thickness on the fin is more uniform, the overall defrosting speed is increased, the defrosting energy consumption is reduced, and the unit heating energy efficiency is improved.
In order to defrost in time, the heat pump system can continuously judge whether the preset defrosting condition is met, and enters a defrosting mode when the preset defrosting condition is met. In order to further reduce energy consumption in the defrosting mode, the heat pump system can continuously judge whether the preset defrosting quitting condition is met during defrosting, and returns to the heating mode when the preset defrosting quitting condition is met. The preset defrosting condition and the preset exiting defrosting condition may include one or more, and the related parameters may be the same or different, for example, the preset defrosting condition and the preset exiting defrosting condition may include at least one of an operating time of the heat pump system, a defrosting temperature difference of the fin heat exchanger, and a water temperature condition of the user-side heat exchanger.
In fig. 1, the heat pump system may further include a defrosting bulb 7, and the defrosting bulb 7 is disposed at a position of the finned heat exchanger 22 adjacent to the first nozzle 222a, and is used for measuring the temperature at the position in real time, and also used for judging a preset defrosting condition and a preset defrosting exiting condition.
