Definitions

  • the present invention regards a heat pump apparatus for an air conditioning plant.
  • the present apparatus is advantageously intended to be employed, in residential, commercial and industrial fields, in air conditioning plants, in particular of roof top type, so as to control the climate conditions within one or more environments, ensuring an optimized energy yield of the plant, in particular for the automatic defrosting of the heat exchanger of the external unit of the apparatus.
  • apparatuses In the field of apparatuses for heating environments, apparatuses have been known for some time that are provided with a heat pump heating plant. Such plants exploit aerothermal energy, which is included among the renewable energy sources, contained in the air of the external environment for heating a low-temperature carrier fluid contained in a closed circuit by means of an evaporator, normally positioned outside the environment to be heated within a box-like containment body.
  • aerothermal energy which is included among the renewable energy sources, contained in the air of the external environment for heating a low-temperature carrier fluid contained in a closed circuit by means of an evaporator, normally positioned outside the environment to be heated within a box-like containment body.
  • the carrier fluid thus heated by means of the heat absorbed from the air of the external environment is compressed by a compressor, which creates a pressure difference adapted to force the carrier fluid into the closed circuit, in particular towards a condenser, normally placed within the environment to be heated.
  • the high-temperature and high-pressure carrier fluid condenses and transfers, to the environment to be heated, the heat previously absorbed from the external environment.
  • the closed circuit finally connects the condenser and the evaporator by means of a thermal expansion valve, adapted to bring the carrier fluid (by now cooled) back to the operating pressure in order to be able to again absorb heat from the external environment.
  • a first drawback lies in the fact that the overall energy efficiency is strongly limited by the temperature difference between the external environment and the environment to be heated. Therefore, in the winter, or generally in the coolest periods of the year, the aforesaid temperature difference is such to negatively affect, in a significant manner, the total output of the heat pump plant. More in detail, when the temperature of the external environment lowers below 7°C, the output of the heat pump plant drastically decreases. In particular, if the temperature of the external environment falls below 2°C, the evaporator risks freezing and/or frosting. If the evaporator freezes, the entire heat pump heating plant stops operating until the complete unfreezing of the evaporator itself takes place.
  • unfreezing devices for allowing the evaporator to continue to work, even at low temperatures, such as electrical heating elements placed at the evaporator itself, which by heating up due to ohmic effect increase the temperature of such evaporator and allow the operation thereof.
  • the main drawback of such device for unfreezing the evaporator lies in the fact that the electrical heating elements consume a high amount of energy and lower the overall efficiency of the conditioning apparatus.
  • the main drawback of the method for unfreezing the evaporator of known type described in brief above lies in the fact that the reversal of the operating cycle drastically lowers the overall output of the conditioning apparatus, since in this situation it removes heat from the internal environment to be heated, for several minutes; such heat will then have to be again transferred with the subsequent reversal of the operating cycle.
  • the document US 4,995,241 describes a conditioning apparatus which comprises an external unit provided with a main exchanger and with a gas burner, which is arranged below an accumulator, and is intended to be turned on in low-temperature conditions, in a manner such that the flames produced by the burner hit the accumulator, so as to ensure the evaporation of the carrier fluid coming from the main exchanger and to generate hot vapor towards a compressor of the apparatus.
  • the document US 4,995,241 reports that the heated and pressurized carrier fluid can be conveyed towards the main heat exchanger in order to facilitate the unfreezing thereof.
  • the document EP 0599625 describes an apparatus for an air conditioning plant in which the air recirculation fan is provided with a vapor actuation turbine, which is supplied by means of the pressure of the vaporized carrier fluid generated by the heat exchange processes.
  • the hot vapor exiting from the turbine can be employed for the unfreezing cycle of an adjacent apparatus.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the above-described prior art, by presenting a heat pump apparatus for an air conditioning plant that is capable of improving the overall output of the apparatus and does not need an increase of the thermal power to be installed, beyond that required for thermally conditioning the internal environment.
  • a further object of the present invention is to present a heat pump apparatus for an air conditioning plant which allows reaching high outputs by means of the at least partial use of a renewable energy source.
  • a further object of the present invention is to present a heat pump apparatus for an air conditioning plant which allows a continuous operation, which is safe and entirely reliable.
  • reference number 100 overall indicates a heat pump apparatus for an air conditioning plant in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  • the first heat exchanger 3 is of the finned pack type with banks that if necessary can be curved with one, two or three bends.

  • the internal part of the ceramic plate directed towards the distribution chamber 9 instead reaches a temperature of about 100°C.
  • the emitting body 13 carries out the function of heating, via irradiation, due to the radiant surface 13' oriented towards the first heat exchanger 3 which - preferably constituted by multiple micro-perforated ceramic plates brought to a temperature of about 1000°C as a result of the combustion - emits thermal radiations in a manner so as to heat, via direct irradiation, the external surface of the first heat exchanger 3 without there being any physical contact between the parts.
