Description

Heat exchange system and air conditioner

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a heat exchange system and an air conditioner.

Background

Currently, the operation modes of the air conditioner generally include a cooling mode, a heating mode, a dehumidifying mode, and the like. However, with the improvement of the living standard of people, the functional demands of users on the air conditioner are increasing.

For example, in order to meet the dehumidification demand, the existing air conditioner generally needs to lower the evaporation temperature to a temperature lower than the return air dew point temperature and to have a larger temperature difference therebetween in order to exert the dehumidification effect.

In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

When the indoor environment humidity of the user is high, the air conditioner is generally controlled to operate in a dehumidification mode so as to adjust the indoor environment humidity of the user. However, when the air conditioner is operated in the dehumidification mode, the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner serves as an evaporator, that is, the indoor environment temperature of a user is reduced while dehumidification is performed, and the existing air conditioner cannot separately control the temperature and the humidity when the dehumidification mode is operated.

It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for enhancing understanding of the background of the application and thus may include information that does not form the prior art that is already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a heat exchange system.

As shown in fig. 1, the heat exchange system provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a compressor 1, a four-way valve 2, an outdoor heat exchanger 3, a first indoor heat exchanger 41, a second indoor heat exchanger 42, a first indoor communication pipeline 401, and a three-way valve 5. The first indoor communication pipe 401 is provided between the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the second indoor heat exchanger 42, and the first indoor communication pipe 401 is provided with a first indoor expansion valve 411. The three-way valve 5 is respectively connected to the second indoor heat exchanger 42, the air outlet 13 of the compressor, and the air inlet, so that the heat exchange system forms a first refrigerant circulation path connected to the air outlet 13 of the compressor, the first indoor heat exchanger 41, the first indoor expansion valve 411, the second indoor heat exchanger 42, the three-way valve 5, and the air inlet of the compressor.

Further, the heat exchange system also comprises a supercooling branch and a liquid storage branch. The supercooling branch comprises a supercooling heat exchanger 7 for supercooling a pipeline between the outdoor heat exchanger and the first indoor heat exchanger; the liquid storage branch comprises a liquid storage tank 6, a liquid storage inlet pipeline and a liquid storage outlet pipeline, wherein the liquid storage tank 6 is provided with a liquid storage inlet and a liquid storage outlet, one end of the liquid storage inlet pipeline is communicated with the liquid storage inlet, and the other end of the liquid storage inlet pipeline is communicated between the first electronic expansion valve and the supercooling heat exchanger 7.

Alternatively, the compressor 1 includes a first suction port 11 and a second suction port 12. The heat exchange system provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes a compressor 1, a four-way valve 2, an outdoor heat exchanger 3, and a first indoor heat exchanger 41, and the compressor 1 is a double suction port compressor, that is, includes a first suction port 11 and a second suction port 12. The first suction port 11 of the compressor communicates with the four-way valve 2. The three mutually communicated channels of the three-way valve 5 are respectively communicated with the second indoor heat exchanger 42, the air outlet 13 of the compressor and the second air suction port 12, so that the heat exchange system forms a first refrigerant circulating flow path connected by the air outlet 13 of the compressor, the first indoor heat exchanger 41, the first indoor expansion valve 411, the second indoor heat exchanger 42, the three-way valve 5 and the second air suction port 12.

Optionally, the first indoor heat exchanger 41 is disposed adjacent to the second indoor heat exchanger 42, for example, the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the second indoor heat exchanger 42 are disposed in the first indoor unit, and the first indoor heat exchanger 41 is close to an air outlet of the first indoor unit, and the second indoor heat exchanger 42 is close to an air inlet of the first indoor unit. The arrangement of the first refrigerant circulation flow path in the heat exchange system provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can enable the heat exchange system to operate in a reheat dehumidification mode. Referring to fig. 2, a refrigerant flow path of the heat exchange system operating the reheat dehumidification mode provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows:

When the heat exchange system runs and is used for reheating and dehumidifying, the four-way valve 2 is switched to a state that the D pipe is connected with the E pipe and the C pipe is connected with the S pipe. The high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the air outlet 13 of the compressor enters the first indoor heat exchanger 41 through the four-way valve 2. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is cooled in the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and then is divided into two paths, one path enters the second indoor heat exchanger 42 for evaporation and heat absorption after being throttled by the first indoor expansion valve 411, and then returns to the second air suction port 12 of the compressor, namely a first refrigerant circulation flow path; the other path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 3 to exchange heat and then returns to the first air suction port 11 of the compressor.

In the first refrigerant circulation path, the second indoor heat exchanger 42 serves as an evaporator and is close to the air inlet of the first indoor unit, and the first indoor heat exchanger 41 serves as a condenser and is close to the air outlet of the first indoor unit. After the high-humidity air in the user room enters from the air inlet of the first indoor unit, the air is cooled and dehumidified through the second indoor heat exchanger 42 serving as an evaporator, and the cooled and dehumidified air is reheated and heated through the first indoor heat exchanger 41 serving as a condenser or a reheater. Namely, reheat dehumidification is achieved.

Further, the heat exchange system provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a supercooling branch and a liquid storage branch, as shown in fig. 1. The supercooling branch can improve the supercooling degree of the refrigerant in the heat exchange system; the liquid storage branch can adjust the quantity of the refrigerant participating in circulation in the heat exchange system, for example, when the working condition changes or the indoor load changes, the liquid storage branch can adjust the quantity of the refrigerant participating in circulation in the heat exchange system, so that the quantity of the refrigerant in the heat exchange system accords with the current working condition, and the energy efficiency is further improved.

Optionally, the heat exchange system further includes a first liquid storage expansion valve 61 and a second liquid storage expansion valve 62, where the first liquid storage expansion valve 61 is disposed in the liquid storage inlet pipeline, and the second liquid storage expansion valve 62 is disposed in the liquid storage outlet pipeline. One end of the liquid storage outlet pipeline is communicated with the liquid storage outlet, and the other end of the liquid storage outlet pipeline is communicated with the air suction port of the compressor through the cold heat exchanger. Further, the second liquid storage expansion valve is arranged between the liquid storage outlet and the supercooling heat exchanger.

The operation refrigeration working condition of the air conditioner is taken as an example to describe the effect of the liquid storage branch on the refrigerant quantity adjustment of the heat exchange system. And (3) a process of storing the refrigerant: when in refrigeration working condition, the refrigerant at the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger is a liquid refrigerant subjected to heat exchange, at the moment, the first liquid storage expansion valve 61 is opened, the liquid refrigerant fills the liquid storage tank 6, and then the first liquid storage expansion valve 61 is closed; and (3) a process of releasing the refrigerant: the first liquid storage expansion valve 61 is closed, the second liquid storage expansion valve 62 is adjusted to an appropriate opening degree, the second air suction port 12 of the compressor extracts the refrigerant from the liquid storage tank 6, the pressure of the liquid storage tank 6 is reduced, the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 6 is flash-evaporated into a gas-liquid two-phase state, and the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 6 is reduced and released into the heat exchange system.

It will be appreciated that, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, when the heat exchange system further includes the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44, the refrigerant flow direction in the third indoor heat exchanger 43 is the same as the first indoor heat exchanger 41, and the refrigerant flow direction in the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 is the same as the second indoor heat exchanger 42. That is, the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 can reheat and dehumidify the indoor environment of the user, similarly to the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the second indoor heat exchanger 42.

Alternatively, the first indoor expansion valve 411 is disposed close to the first indoor heat exchanger 41. The heat exchange system further includes a second indoor expansion valve 421. The second indoor expansion valve 421 is disposed in the first indoor communication line 401 and is disposed near the second indoor heat exchanger 42.

As described above, in the first refrigerant circulation flow path capable of performing reheat dehumidification, the opening degree of the first indoor expansion valve 411 can be controlled to adjust the refrigerant flow rate and pressure of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 serving as a reheater, thereby controlling the amount of reheat of the air after cooling and dehumidification. Further, the opening degree of the second indoor expansion valve 421 can be controlled to adjust the flow rate and pressure of the refrigerant in the second indoor heat exchanger 42 as an evaporator, thereby controlling the amount of dehumidification of the indoor high humidity air.

The embodiment of the disclosure further provides a method for adjusting indoor temperature and humidity, which comprises the following steps:

step one: and acquiring a dry bulb temperature Ts set by a user and a set relative humidity rhs, and acquiring a current air-out bulb temperature T and a current air-out relative humidity rh.

In the second step, in the temperature adjustment process, if t=ts, the current operation state is maintained, the opening degrees of the indoor expansion valves are not adjusted, if T > Ts, the opening degrees of the first indoor expansion valve 411 and the third indoor expansion valve 431 are increased, the condensation pressures of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 are reduced, and if T < Ts, the opening degrees of the first indoor expansion valve 411 and the third indoor expansion valve 431 are reduced, and the condensation pressures of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 are increased. In the humidity adjustment process, if rh=rhs, the current operation state is maintained, the opening degree of the indoor expansion valve is not adjusted, and if rh < rhs, the second indoor expansion valve 421 and the fourth indoor expansion valve 441 are closed, so that the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 do not play a dehumidification role; if rh > rhs, the opening degree of the second indoor expansion valve 421 and the fourth indoor expansion valve 441 is reduced to obtain a lower evaporation temperature, the dehumidification amount is increased, and the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve 31 is reduced to increase the flow rate of the refrigerant in the dehumidification heat exchanger.

Step three: and (3) comparing the air outlet temperature with the set temperature again after the time period t, comparing the air outlet relative humidity with the set relative humidity, and returning to the step two.

The heat exchange system provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes an indoor and outdoor communication pipeline 301. The first port of the indoor communication pipe is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the second port is connected to the pipe between the first indoor expansion valve 411 and the second indoor expansion valve 421, and the indoor and outdoor communication pipe 301 is provided with the first electronic expansion valve 31, so that the heat exchange system forms a second refrigerant circulation flow path connected by the air outlet 13 of the compressor, the first indoor heat exchanger 41, the first electronic expansion valve 31, the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the first air inlet 11.

As described above, when the heat exchange system operates in the reheat dehumidification mode, the four-way valve 2 is switched to a state in which the D pipe is connected to the E pipe, the C pipe is connected to the S pipe, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is cooled in the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and then is split into two paths, one path is throttled by the first indoor expansion valve 411 and then enters the second indoor heat exchanger 42 to perform reheat dehumidification, namely, the first refrigerant circulation path; the other path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 3 to exchange heat and then returns to the first air suction port 11 of the compressor, namely the second refrigerant circulation flow path. Thus, the amount of refrigerant flowing into the first refrigerant circulation passage can be controlled to adjust the reheat dehumidification amount. For example, when constant temperature dehumidification is required, the first refrigerant circulation passage requires a smaller amount of refrigerant, and at this time, other refrigerants may be returned to the compressor 1 through the second refrigerant circulation passage.

The heat exchange system provided by the embodiment of the disclosure further includes a third indoor heat exchanger 43 and a fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 that are adjacently disposed, wherein a second indoor communication pipeline 402 is disposed between the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44, and the second indoor communication pipeline 402 is provided with a third indoor expansion valve 431 close to the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and a fourth indoor expansion valve 441 close to the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44. The heat exchange system further includes a third indoor communication line 403 that communicates between the first indoor communication line 401 and the second indoor communication line 402, and the third indoor communication line 403 communicates with the indoor and outdoor communication lines 301.

Optionally, the third indoor heat exchanger 43 is in communication with the four-way valve 2, and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 is in communication with the three-way valve 5. Alternatively, the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 are provided in the second indoor unit, for example, the first indoor unit may be provided in a first room of the user, and the second indoor unit may be provided in a second room of the user.

Referring to fig. 6, when the heat exchange system provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the second indoor heat exchanger 42 located in the first room, and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 located in the second room, the refrigerant flow paths of the heat exchange system operating the reheat dehumidification mode are as follows:

When the heat exchange system runs and is used for reheating and dehumidifying, the four-way valve 2 is switched to a state that the D pipe is connected with the E pipe and the C pipe is connected with the S pipe. The high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the air outlet 13 of the compressor enters the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 through the four-way valve 2. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is cooled in the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and then is divided into two paths, one path of the refrigerant enters the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 respectively for evaporation and heat absorption, and then returns to the second air suction port 12 of the compressor, namely the first refrigerant circulation flow path; the other path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 3 to exchange heat and then returns to the first air suction port 11 of the compressor.

In the first refrigerant circulation path, the second indoor heat exchanger 42 serves as an evaporator and is close to the air inlet of the first indoor unit located in the first room, and the first indoor heat exchanger 41 serves as a condenser and is close to the air outlet of the first indoor unit located in the first room. After the high-humidity air in the user room enters from the air inlet of the first indoor unit, the air is cooled and dehumidified through the second indoor heat exchanger 42 serving as an evaporator, and the cooled and dehumidified air is reheated and heated through the first indoor heat exchanger 41 serving as a condenser or a reheater. That is, reheat dehumidification of the first room of the user is achieved.

Similarly, in the first refrigerant circulation flow path, the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 serves as an evaporator and is located near the air intake of the second indoor unit located in the second room, and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 serves as a condenser and is located near the air outlet of the second indoor unit located in the second room. After the high-humidity air in the user room enters from the air inlet of the second indoor unit, the air is cooled and dehumidified through the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 serving as an evaporator, and the cooled and dehumidified air is reheated and heated through the third indoor heat exchanger 43 serving as a condenser or a reheater. That is, reheat dehumidification of the second room of the user is achieved.

Optionally, the heat exchange system further comprises a four-way communication line 21, as shown in fig. 5.

The four-way communication pipeline 21 is used for communicating the four-way valve 2, the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43, wherein the four-way communication pipeline 21 is provided with a first refrigerant port 201 and a second refrigerant port 202 which are respectively communicated with the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43.

In this way, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 can flow into the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 through the four-way valve 2, respectively, or the refrigerant flowing out of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 can flow back to the compressor 1 through the four-way valve 2.

For example, in the operation mode that all rooms are heated simultaneously, the four-way communication pipeline 21 can be used for enabling the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 1 to flow into the first indoor heat exchanger 41 through the first refrigerant port 201 and flow into the third indoor heat exchanger 43 through the second refrigerant port 202 after passing through the four-way valve 2; or in the mode that all rooms are simultaneously cooled, the refrigerants flowing out of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 flow back to the compressor 1 through the first refrigerant port 201 and the second refrigerant port 202, respectively.

Alternatively, the first refrigerant port 201 is a T-shaped communication port that communicates with the four-way valve 2, the first indoor heat exchanger 41, and the third indoor heat exchanger 43, respectively, as shown in fig. 5.

Thus, the T-shaped first refrigerant port 201 may be used as a liquid separation port, and the refrigerant flowing out of the four-way valve 2 may flow into the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43, respectively; similarly, the T-shaped first refrigerant port 201 may be used as a converging port to merge the refrigerant flowing out of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and flow the refrigerant back to the compressor 1 through the four-way valve 2.

Similarly, the second refrigerant port 202 is a T-shaped communication port that communicates with the four-way valve 2, the first indoor heat exchanger 41, and the third indoor heat exchanger 43, respectively.

Thus, the T-shaped second refrigerant port 202 may be used as a liquid separation port, and the refrigerant flowing out of the four-way valve 2 may flow into the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43, respectively; similarly, the T-shaped second refrigerant port 202 may also be used as a converging port to merge the refrigerant flowing out of the first indoor heat exchanger 41 and the third indoor heat exchanger 43 and flow the refrigerant back to the compressor 1 through the four-way valve 2.

Optionally, the heat exchange system further comprises a three-way communication line 51, as shown in fig. 5.

The three-way communication pipe 51 is used to communicate the three-way valve 5, the second indoor heat exchanger 42, and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44. Wherein, the three-way communication pipeline 51 is provided with a third refrigerant port 501 and a fourth refrigerant port 502 which are respectively communicated with the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44.

In this way, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 can flow into the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 through the three-way valve 5, respectively, or the refrigerant flowing out of the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 can flow back to the second suction port 12 of the compressor through the three-way valve 5.

For example, in the operation mode that all rooms are heated simultaneously, the three-way communication pipeline 51 can be used for enabling the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 1 to flow into the second indoor heat exchanger 42 through the third refrigerant port 501 and flow into the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 through the fourth refrigerant port 502 after passing through the three-way valve 5; or in the mode that all rooms are simultaneously cooled, the refrigerant flowing out of the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 flows back to the second air suction port 12 of the compressor through the third refrigerant port 501 and the fourth refrigerant port 502, respectively.

Alternatively, the third refrigerant port 501 is a T-shaped communication port that communicates with the three-way valve 5, the second indoor heat exchanger 42, and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44, respectively.

In this way, the T-shaped third refrigerant port 501 may be used as a liquid separation port, and the refrigerant flowing out of the three-way valve 5 may flow into the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44, respectively; similarly, the T-shaped third refrigerant port 501 may also be used as a converging port, and the refrigerant flowing out of the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 is converged and then flows back to the second suction port 12 of the compressor through the three-way valve 5.

Similarly, the fourth refrigerant port 502 is a T-shaped communication port that communicates with the three-way valve 5, the second indoor heat exchanger 42, and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44, respectively.

Thus, the T-shaped fourth refrigerant port 502 may be used as a liquid separation port, and the refrigerant flowing out of the three-way valve 5 may flow into the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44, respectively; similarly, the T-shaped fourth refrigerant port 502 may also be used as a converging port, and the refrigerant flowing out of the second indoor heat exchanger 42 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 44 is converged and then flows back to the second suction port 12 of the compressor through the three-way valve 5.
