Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to heat pumps for cooling and/or heating purposes having a refrigerant circuit.
  • the disclosure relates to split-type heat pumps comprising a heat source unit, such as an outdoor unit, and at least one heat consumer unit, such as an indoor unit.
  • a heat pump using air as heat source is also known in the art.
  • heat source units are often configured as so-called front blowers, wherein the heat source unit has a casing with walls defining an interior space. The space is separated by a vertical partition into an air chamber and machine chamber. A fan is provided in the air chamber for inducing an air flow through the front of the casing and through a heat source heat exchanger.
  • the machine chamber contains a plurality of components of the refrigerant circuit including components controlling the refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit.
  • the heat source unit in front of a wall below a window.
  • the heat source unit does not exceed a certain height of for example 87 mm.
  • the available space in the machine chamber is reduced. Accordingly, the components contained in the machine chamber need to be arranged more compact. This in turn, however, leads to the problem that some of said components may not be accessed for maintenance purposes without having to dismount others of said components. Therefore, maintenance of the heat source unit is more cumbersome and requires more time.
  • the present disclosure aims at providing a heat source unit enabling ease of maintenance even when the casing is relatively low in height.
  • a heat source unit for a heat pump having a refrigerant circuit is suggested.
  • the refrigerant circuit of a heat pump in its simplest configuration comprises a heat source heat exchanger (outdoor heat exchanger), a heat consumer heat exchanger (indoor heat exchanger), an expansion valve and a compressor connected by refrigerant pipes.
  • the refrigerant circuit may comprise a 4-way switching valve for switching between heating operation and cooling/defrosting operation (reverse cycle operation).
  • the heat source unit comprises a casing (outer casing) having walls defining an interior space.
  • the interior space is separated by a partition into an air chamber and a machine chamber.
  • the air chamber may accommodate a fan for inducing an air flow through the air chamber and through the heat source heat exchanger.
  • the heat source heat exchanger may form one of the walls of the casing of the heat source unit, e.g. at a back of the heat source unit, and delimit the interior space.
  • the machine chamber accommodates a plurality of components configured to control a refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit.
  • a component configured to control a refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit is any component, be it electrical, electronical and/or mechanical, that is used for the control of the refrigerant circuit including but not limited to a control board or control box, a valve, a sensor, the compressor of the refrigerant circuit, an inverter used for altering the capacity of the compressor and the like.
  • the component may be any electrical/electronical and/or mechanically movable component that requires maintenance.
  • the casing may comprise a bottom plate and a top plate.
  • the heat source unit may be mounted to a horizontal surface or brackets fixed to a vertical wall with the bottom plate being oriented horizontally.
  • the feet may be provided at a lower side of the bottom plate, the feet being configured for mounting on the horizontal surface or the brackets.
  • the top plate is arranged opposite to the bottom plate and delimits the height of the heat source unit at an upper end.
  • the casing further has a front, an opposite back, and opposite sides respectively extending between the front and the back.
  • the walls of the casing comprise a maintenance plate, wherein the maintenance plate has a first portion delimiting the interior space at a front of the heat source unit in a position corresponding to the machine chamber and a second portion delimiting the interior space at a side of the heat source unit corresponding to the machine chamber.
  • the maintenance plate is, in a top view of the heat source unit, "L" shaped.
  • the maintenance plate is removable for giving access to the components in the machine chamber to allow maintenance of the components.
  • the walls may comprise a bell mouth delimiting the interior space at the front of the heat source unit in a position corresponding to the air chamber.
  • the bell mouth may be covered at its front side by a grille.
  • the walls may comprise the heat source heat exchanger delimiting the interior space at a side of the heat source unit and at the back of the heat source unit corresponding to the air chamber.
  • the heat source heat exchanger may, in a top view of the heat source unit, be "L" shaped.
  • An additional rear plate may be provided as one of the walls, the rear plate having a first portion delimiting the interior space at the back of the heat source unit in a position corresponding to the machine chamber and a second portion delimiting the interior space at a side (the same side as the second portion of the maintenance plate) of the heat source unit corresponding to the machine chamber.
  • the rear plate is, in a top view of the heat source unit, "L" shaped.
  • the second portion of the maintenance plate which is arranged to delimit the interior space at the side of the heat source unit covers at least half of that side in a direction of depth.
  • the "depth" is the dimension of the heat source unit between the front and a back.
  • the first portion of the maintenance plate may on the other hand delimit a major portion (more than 50%, according to an example more than 75%) of the front of the machine chamber.
  • the heat source unit of the above aspect suggests a maintenance plate which also covers at least half of the side of the machine chamber, thereby allowing access to the components from both the front and the side. Accordingly, most of the components may still be accessed for maintenance, even though the components are arranged more compact in the machine chamber without the need to first disassemble some of the components to allow access. Thus, ease of maintenance is realized.
  • the components comprise a switchboard (also switchbox, control board or control box) having a board and electrical and/or electronical components mounted on a main surface of the board, wherein the main surface faces an inner side of the first portion of the maintenance plate.
  • a switchboard also switchbox, control board or control box
  • the switchboard is easily accessible from the front and all of the electrical and/or electronical components mounted on the main surface face the front, whereby they may easily be accessed.
  • the switchboard may remain fixed in the heat source unit during maintenance. This is particularly advantageous if refrigerant piping of the refrigerant circuit of the heat pump is attached to and in surface contact with the switchboard to provide for a cooling effect of the electrical and/or electronical components. Disassembling the refrigerant piping, which is fragile, bears the risk of damages and is cumbersome. Thus, this aspect further enhances ease of maintenance.
  • the board is attached to a support extending perpendicularly to the main surface of the board away from the first portion of the maintenance plate.
  • the support frame extends from the board towards the back of the heat source unit and/or faces an inner side of the second portion of the maintenance plate.
  • the support frame may be a plate or a frame.
  • the support may be fixed to the casing of the heat source unit, particularly to one of the walls of the heat source unit such as the back wall.
  • the switchboard can securely be mounted to the casing without impairing the maintenance access.
  • higher stress on for example refrigerant piping attached to and in surface contact with the switchboard, as explained above, may be avoided.
  • the support is mounted to the rear plate of the walls.
  • any forces and stress applied to the switchboard may be spread to the rear plate. Accordingly, the switchboard is securely mounted to the casing.
  • the support has at least one, particularly two or more, maintenance opening/-s.
  • the support is a rectangular frame having two first legs parallel to the board and two second legs perpendicular to the first legs, the support further having an intermediate rib extending between the two first legs.
  • “rectangular” defines a frame having a substantially rectangular base shape, wherein rounded or chamfered edges or corners are still within the scope of the term "rectangular”.
  • a good balance may be obtained between forming maintenance openings in the support to allow access to the components arranged at positions behind the support and provide rigidity and stability to support the switchboard in the casing.
  • the intermediate rib extends perpendicular to the two first legs.
  • two generally rectangular maintenance openings having a relatively large size are achieved according to the seventh aspect.
  • the board is attached to the top plate of the casing and/or the partition alternatively or additionally to the attachment to the support.
  • the forces and stress applied to the board of the switchboard may be spread to the top plate and/or the partition. Accordingly, the switchboard is securely mounted to the casing.
  • the board may also be attached to a support column supported on a bottom plate of the walls.
  • the support column may be attached to the bottom plate and to a lower portion, such as a lower edge of the board of the switchboard.
  • the components configured to control the refrigerant flow in the refrigerant circuit further comprise a switch, a sensor and/or a valve, the switch, the sensor and/or the valve being, in a front view of the heat source unit, located behind the board of the switchboard.
  • these components are not accessible via the front of the heat source unit upon detachment of the maintenance plate. Yet, due to the configuration of the maintenance plate, these components are accessible via the side of the heat source unit corresponding to the second portion of the maintenance plate. In one example, at least one of these components is accessible through one of the maintenance openings in the support.
  • the maintenance plate is hooked to the casing and fixed in position at one location by a releasable fastening member.
  • the releasable fastening member may be a screw.
  • the maintenance plate is hooked to the rear plate of the walls and/or the partition.
  • the maintenance plate is fixed in position at only one location by the releasable fastening member.
  • the maintenance plate may easily be attached and detached for maintenance further enhancing ease of maintenance.
  • At least one edge of the maintenance plate comprises one or more engaging member/-s having an upwardly or downwardly extending hook, the engaging member being engaged with a slit-like opening in the casing.
  • the respective edge may easily be hooked to the casing and attachment/detachment of the maintenance plate is simplified.
  • At least the engaging member/-s of one edge additionally has/have a downwardly or upwardly extending hook, respectively.
  • the edge having the engagement member with the upwardly and downwardly extending hook may resemble a hinge.
  • the edge may for example with the downwardly extending hook be hooked to the casing and temporarily held until the engagement member of another edge is inserted into the respective slit-like opening of the casing and the maintenance plate is moved upward so that the upwardly extending hooks of the engagement member/-s of the one edge and the upwardly extending hooks of the engagement member/-s of the other edge engage behind the respective parts of the casing.
  • one of the edges of the maintenance plate comprises one or more "L" shaped engaging member/-s having an upwardly or downwardly extending hook, the "L” shaped engaging member being engaged with a slit-like opening in the casing, for example the partition or the rear plate.
