Definitions
- the invention regards a heat pump system including a refrigerant circuit with a heat exchanger and/or condenser, wherein the refrigerant circuit comprises a bypass line bypassing the heat exchanger or condenser, respectively. Refrigerant which is routed through the bypass line can be heated with an additional heater.
- Air Source Heat Pumps take heat from the air and use it to vapourise refrigerants.
- the component that collects this heat is the evaporator.
- frost can develop on the evaporator surface that will ultimately block the air passages between the fins and tubes of the evaporators and leave them unable to effectively absorb any useful heat. This has the result that the ASHP cannot function properly and requires the frost to be melted before normal operation can resume.
- a problem in prior art defrosting systems is that heat which is required for defrosting is obtained from the entity which in normal mode is to be heated. If this entity is for example the inside of a building, the temperature inside the building will drop.
- the present invention relates to a heat pump system comprising a refrigerant circuit, wherein the refrigerant circuit comprises an evaporator and a heat exchanger which is adapted to exchange heat between the refrigerant circuit and an entity to be heated.
- the heat exchanger may comprise a condenser.
- To build up a refrigerant circuit one port of the evaporator can be connected to one port of the heat exchanger and another port of the evaporator can be connected to another port of the heat exchanger. In a normal mode, where the entity to be heated is heated, refrigerant can therefore circulate between the evaporator and the heat exchanger.
- the refrigerant circuit comprises a bypass line which bypasses the heat exchanger.
- the bypass line can therefore connect a pipe that connects one port of the evaporator with one port of the heat exchanger with a pipe connecting the other port of the evaporator with the other port of the heat exchanger.
- the refrigerant circuit further comprises a heat source which is adapted to heat refrigerant which is routed through the bypass line.
- This heater according to the invention is in addition to the heat exchanger and the evaporator, thus it is not identical to the heat exchanger, if present, not identical to the condenser and not identical to the evaporator.
- the refrigerant can be routed through the bypass line and heated by the heater.
- the heater can provide the heat which is required for defrosting the evaporator to the refrigerant.
- the refrigerant does preferably not pass through the heat exchanger during this defrosting operation, a cooling of the entity to be heated can be avoided.
- the heater may be located within the bypass line, that is between the pipes connecting the ports of the evaporator and the heat exchanger.
- the refrigerant circuit of the present invention may comprise an expansion valve located in a line connecting a first port of the heat exchanger with a first port of the evaporator.
- the refrigerant circuit may comprise a compressor located in the line connecting the second port of the evaporator with a second port of the heat exchanger, wherein each first port is different from each second port.
- the expansion valve and the compressor may be located on opposite sides of to the heat exchanger and the evaporator.
- the bypass line may branch off a line connecting a first port of the evaporator with the first port of the heat exchanger in a first three-way valve and an opposite end of the bypass line may branch off a line connecting the second port, different from the first port, of the evaporator with a second port, different from the first port of the heat exchanger, in a second three-way valve.
- the bypass line may be connected to the main refrigerant circuit via a three-way valve.
- the three-way valves are preferably designed such that they allow to build up a fluid conduit between the evaporator and the bypass line while at the same time shutting off a conduit for the refrigerant from the evaporator to the heat exchanger and from the heat exchanger to the evaporator, respectively.
- expansion valve may be preferably located between the bypass line and the evaporator, that is, if the bypass line is connected to the line connecting the evaporator and the heat exchanger via three-way valves, the expansion valve may be located between the evaporator and one of these three-way valves.
- compressor may preferably be located between the evaporator and the bypass line. If the bypass line is connected to the other line connecting the heat exchanger and the evaporator via a three-way valve, the compressor may preferably be located between the evaporator and the three-way valve.
- the expansion valve and the compressor are preferably located on opposite sides of the evaporator.
- the expansion valve and the compressor are preferably located on opposite sides of the bypass line.
- expansion valve is located between the bypass line and the heat exchanger and/or the compressor is located between the heat exchanger and the bypass line.
- the bypass line may in an advantageous embodiment comprise in series the heater as well as an auxiliary expansion valve, being adapted to expand refrigerant flowing in the bypass line before entering the heater, and/or an auxiliary compressor, being adapted to compress refrigerant flowing through the bypass line after leaving the heater and before entering the evaporator.
- the auxiliary expansion valve, the heater and the auxiliary compressor may be connected in series, which means that refrigerant flowing into the bypass line in defrost mode first flows through the expansion valve, after flowing out of the expansion valve flows into the heater and after flowing out of the heater flows into the auxiliary compressor.
- the bypass line would be the line comprising the auxiliary expansion valve, the heater and the auxiliary compressor.
- the auxiliary compressor is arranged such that it compresses refrigerant flowing out of the heater and outputs compressed refrigerant in the direction of the evaporator.
- the bypass line may comprise a liquid pump, which is adapted to pump refrigerant flowing in the bypass line.
- the liquid pump is connected in series with the heater and it is particularly preferred if the liquid pump is located between a point where the bypass line branches off the line connecting the evaporator with the heat exchanger or the main expansion valve on the one-hand side and the heater on the other hand side.
- the liquid pump is located upstream of the heater in defrost mode.
- the liquid pump is arranged such that it pumps refrigerant in the direction of the heater.
- the invention also relates to above mentioned method for defrosting the evaporator of a heat pump system wherein the heat pump system is constituted as described before.
- the defrosting method the refrigerant is routed through the bypass line and heated by the heater.
- the refrigerant is routed from the evaporator to the main expansion valve, from the main expansion valve to the bypass line, from the bypass line to the main compressor and from the main compressor back to the evaporator for defrosting.
- the refrigerant in defrost mode may be conducted from the evaporator through the bypass line and back to the evaporator.
- the bypass line comprises above mentioned auxiliary expansion valve and above mentioned auxiliary compressor
- the refrigerant may be conducted from the evaporator to the auxiliary expansion valve, from the auxiliary expansion valve to the heater, from the heater to the auxiliary compressor and from the auxiliary compressor back to the evaporator.
- the direction in which the compressor compresses refrigerant is reversed in defrost mode compared to normal mode. That is, while in normal mode the compressor preferably compresses the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator in the direction of the heat exchanger it may in defrost mode compress refrigerant flowing in direction of the evaporator. In the present invention this refrigerant may flow into the compressor out of the bypass line.
- a preferred operation mode of the defrosting method it will be decided in a first step whether frosting has occurred at the evaporator. If frosting is present at a evaporator, above mentioned valves are operated such that the heat exchanger is closed off and refrigerant is guided through the bypass line, for example via above mentioned three-way valves. Furthermore, the heater is activated and the compressor is reversed. This operation state is maintained until it is determined that frosting has ended. The method can then proceed with normal operation and can continuously or at specific times monitor whether frosting occurs at the evaporator.
- the heat exchanger may comprise a condenser between the first port and the second port by which ports the heat exchanger is connected to the refrigerant circuit.
- the heater may for example be an electrical resistance heater.
- Such a heater may for example wrap around the refrigerant pipe, so that if the heater is power off it does not change the pipe configuration.
- the present invention may be realized as an air source heat pump (ASHP) as an example.
- ASHP air source heat pump

- Fig. 5 shows the system in normal mode.
- the flow of the refrigerant is indicated by arrows on the lines. It is indicated that the refrigerant only flows in the main refrigerant circuit through main expansion valve 11, three-way valve 9, evaporator 1, three-way valve 5, compressor 3, condenser 7 or heat exchanger 7 and back to the main expansion valve 11.

It can be seen that the three-way valves 9 and 5 are set such that refrigerant flows in the bypass line. The refrigerant flows out of the evaporator 1 through the first three-way valve 9 into the auxiliary expansion valve 52 and from the auxiliary expansion valve 52 through the heater 14 into the auxiliary compressor 56.

- Fig. 9 shows the system of Fig. 8 operating in defrost mode. Again, the black arrows indicate the flow of the refrigerant. It can be seen that the first three-way valve 9 and the second three-way valve 5 are set such that refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator 1 is conducted to the liquid pump 82. The liquid pump 82 pumps the refrigerant into the heater 14 and out of the heater 14 through pipe 84 and the second three-way valve 5 back into the evaporator 1. The main refrigerant circuit comprising the main expansion valve 11, the condenser 7 and the compressor 3 is shut off in defrost mode in this embodiment.
- Fig. 10 shows an operation of the system shown in Figs. 8 and 9 .
- it is monitored in S1 whether frosting occurs at the evaporator.
- the monitoring can be done continuously or at certain times.
- the steps S2, S3, S4 and S5 are carried out. Although they are shown subsequently in Fig. 10 , they may be carried out at the same time or in different order.
- the first three-way valve 9 and the second three-way valve 5 are actuated to close off the condenser 7 to allow refrigerant to flow through the bypass line via the three-way valves 9 and 5 (S3).
- the heater 14 is activated in S4 and the bypass liquid pump 82 is run. While the system is running, is it monitored whether the defrosting has ended or is still present. As long as the defrosting is still present, the system is run in the configuration shown in Fig. 9 . If it is detected in S7 that the frosting has ended, the steps S2, S3, S4 and S5 are reverted that is the three-way valves 9 and 5 are activated to shut off the bypass circuit, the heater 14 is shut down and the liquid pump 82 is shut down.
