Description

[DESCRIPTION]
[Disclosure Title]
HYBRID HEAT PUMP BOILER SYSTEM
[Technical Field]
Exemplary embodiments relate to a hybrid heat pump boiler system, and more particularly, to a multi-purpose high efficiency system which allows one system to be capable of performing all of space heating/cooling, floor heating and four-season hot water supply and can recover waste heat of a boiler unit to solve a problem caused due to frosting in a winter time.
[Background Art]
In general, a heat pump system refers to a heating/cooling apparatus which transfers a low temperature heat source to a high temperature condition or transfers a high temperature heat source to a low temperature condition, using heat generation or condensation heat of a refrigerant.
Such a heat pump system includes a compressor, an outdoor unit which has an outdoor heat exchanger, and an indoor unit having an expansion valve and an indoor heat exchanger.
However, in the case where the heat pump system is used for heating, it is the norm that heating efficiency may abruptly decrease or heating or hot water supply may not be sufficiently performed, due to frosting in a winter time during which the temperature of outdoor air is low.
In order to solve the problem of the heat pump system, a heating/cooling system which is capable of performing hot water supply has been suggested.
Although a conventional heating/cooling heat pump capable of performing hot water supply has considerably improved usability by additionally providing hot water supply in addition to heating/cooling, hot water supply may be inappropriately performed, the efficiency of cooling may be degraded while providing hot water supply or the efficiency of hot water supply may be degraded while providing cooling.

Operations of the hybrid heat pump boiler system 1 in accordance with the embodiments will be described below by being divided into a heating mode, a cooling mode and when using hot water.
[Heating mode] Referring to FIG. 1, according to the embodiment, space heating and floor heating may be selectively or simultaneously performed. First, in the case of floor heating, the outdoor unit 200, the water tank unit 300 and the boiler unit 400 are operated while the indoor unit 100 is not operated.
As the outdoor unit 200 is operated, the high temperature high pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 210 flows into the hot water heat exchanger 230 through the connection pipe 260 via the 4-way valve 220.
After being discharged from the hot water heat exchanger 230, the refrigerant passes through the first expansion valve 240 via the connection pipe 270, sequentially flows through the fan coil part 250, the 3-way valve 272, the connection pipe 275 and the 4-way valve 220, and is then introduced into the compressor 210 via the accumulator 290, by which one cycle is completed.
At this time, the valve 271a installed on the bypass pipe 271 is in a closed state.
The water discharged from the heat storage tank 310 of the water tank unit 300 is circulated through the hot water heat exchanger 230 to implement heat exchange, while flowing through the circulation pipes 330 and 340.
Namely, because the high temperature high pressure refrigerant passes through the hot water heat exchanger 230 via the connection pipe 260 due to the operation of the outdoor unit 200, heat exchange occurs between the refrigerant and the water discharged from the heat storage tank 310. As a consequence, the temperature of water flowing through the circulation pipe 330 is raised when measured while flowing through the circulation pipe 340. The water (hot water) in this state passes through the 3-way valve 343, the bypass pipe 341 and the heating water heat exchanger 320, and is then circulated into the circulation pipe 330 through the bypass pipe 342 and the 3-way valve 331.
The heating water discharged through the first heat exchanger 420 from the expansion tank 440 of the boiler unit 400 is supplied to the floor heating part 500 S through the supply pipe 523 and the bypass pipe 522 so that floor heating is implemented. The heating water having passed through the floor heating part 500 passes through the heating water heat exchanger 320 via the connection pipe 510 and is returned to the expansion tank 440 of the boiler unit 400 through the return pipe 520.
Since the temperature of the heating water having passed through the floor heating part 500 is low, a temperature rise occurs as the heating water passes through the heating water heat exchanger 320.
That is to say, since the water discharged from the heat storage tank 310 passes through the heating water heat exchanger 320 in the state in which it has obtained a heat source while passing through the hot water heat exchanger 230 of the outdoor unit 200 and thus its temperature has been raised, it exchanges heat with the heating water having passed through the floor heating part 500. Therefore, the low temperature heating water is returned to the boiler unit 400 through the return pipe 520 in the state in which its temperature is raised.
The hot water having passed through the hot water heat exchanger 230 of the outdoor unit 200 which constitutes the heat pump exchanges heat in the heating water heat exchanger 320. In the state in which the heat quantity of the hot water is sufficient, the heating water flowing through the connection pipe 510 by the pump 512 is not introduced into the boiler unit 400 and immediately flows to the floor heating part 500 through the bypass pipe 522 via the 3-way valve 521 so that floor heating is implemented.
S In the case where heat quantity is insufficient while the hot water having passed through the hot water heat exchanger 230 exchanges heat in the heating water heat exchanger 320, the heating water flowing through the connection pipe 510 is introduced into the boiler unit 400, is heated therein, and then flows again to the floor heating part 500 through the supply pipe 523 so that floor heating is implemented.
Accordingly, an amount of gas needed to heat water by the boiler unit 400 for floor heating or hot water supply may be reduced.
In the case where hot water is to be used, water is introduced into the boiler unit 400 through the inlet pipe 450 from the heat storage tank 310 and is passed through the second heat exchanger 430. Consequently, high temperature hot water is discharged from the outlet pipe 460 which is connected to an outside of the boiler unit 400, so that hot water may be used.
In the case where the temperature of the hot water in the heat storage tank 310 is sufficient, the hot water in the heat storage tank 310 is not passed through the boiler unit 400 and is bypassed to the outlet pipe 460 through the 3-way valve 451 from the inlet pipe 450 so as to be used as hot water.
The water heated to a high temperature while passing through the first heat exchanger 420 is supplied to the floor heating part 500 through the supply pipe 443, and, at the same time, is branched through the 3-way valve 445. The branched water flows through the branching pipe 447 after passing through the second heat exchanger 430 via the bypass pipe 446, and is introduced into the expansion tank 440 through the heating water inlet pipe 441. During this course, the temperature of the water discharged from the heat storage tank 310 is raised through the second heat exchanger 430 so that the water becomes hot water.
In the embodiment, the waste heat of the exhaust gas which is produced by operating the boiler unit 400 may be employed. The exhaust gas discharged from the boiler unit 400 exchanges heat with the heat pipe 470 in the exhaust gas recovery heat exchanger 401, and the heat pipe 470 having obtained a heat source provides a heat source to the heat exchanger 252 of the fan coil part 250 of the outdoor unit 200.
Accordingly, in the case where the temperature of externally sucked air falls below zero in a winter time and the fins of the heat exchanger 252 are frosted, defrosting is performed through the heat pipe 470 which exchanges heat with the waste heat of the exhaust gas from the boiler unit 400.
In the case where space heating is required, the flow path of the 3-way valve 261 on the connection pipe 260 is changed such that the refrigerant is delivered to the connection pipe 111 which is connected with the indoor unit 100. As a consequence, hot air is provided from the indoor heat exchanger 110 which is included in the indoor unit 100, so that space heating is implemented. The refrigerant is introduced again into the compressor 210 through the 4-way valve 220 after passing through the heat exchanger 252 of the fan coil part 250 via the connection pipe 112.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, through the 3-way valve 261, one portion of S the refrigerant is circulated through the hot water heat exchanger 230 via the 3-way valve 262, and the other portion of the refrigerant is introduced into the indoor unit 100 through the connection pipe 111 so that space heating is implemented.
Accordingly, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerant may be selectively delivered to one desired place through the 3-way valve 261 or may be delivered to two places so that space heating and floor heating may be simultaneously implemented.
[Cooling mode] In the case of a cooling mode, referring to FIG. 2, the high temperature high pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 210 in the outdoor unit 200 flows to the bypass pipe 263 through the 4-way valve 220 and passes through the hot water heat exchanger 230 via the 3-way valve 262.
The refrigerant having passed through the hot water heat exchanger 230 flows through the 3-way valve 272 via the bypass pipe 271, passes through the heat exchanger 252 of the fan coil part 250, and is directed to the indoor heat exchanger 110 of the indoor unit 100 after passing through the connection pipe 112 via the second expansion valve 280.
The high temperature high pressure refrigerant is converted into low temperature low pressure refrigerant after passing through the heat exchanger 252 of the fan coil S part 250 and the second expansion valve 280, and provides cool air to the indoor space while flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 110 of the indoor unit 100. Then, the refrigerant is introduced again into the compressor 210 through the 4-way valve 220 and the accumulator 290 after passing through the 3-way valve 261 and the connection pipe 260 via the connection pipe 111.
Since the cooling mode generally corresponds to a summer time, the boiler unit 400 is not operated.
However, by providing a portion of the heat source of the refrigerant from the outdoor unit 200 to the heat storage tank 310 of the water tank unit 300, hot water may be used.
In other words, while the high temperature high pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 210 passes through the hot water heat exchanger 230 which is disposed in the outdoor unit 200, water from the heat storage tank 310 flows through the circulation pipe 330 by the operation of the circulation pump 332 and passes through the hot water heat exchanger 230. The water takes a heat source (condensation heat) away from the high temperature high pressure refrigerant, flows through the circulation pipe 340 in a temperature-raised state, and is introduced again into the heat storage tank 310, so as to be used as hot water.
Hence, it is possible to provide a system capable of using hot water all the year round.
S In the cooling mode according to the embodiment, in the case where condensation of the refrigerant is sufficiently implemented in the hot water heat exchanger 230, the refrigerant is not directed to the heat exchanger 252 of the fan coil part 250 at the 3-way valve 272, is bypassed to the bypass pipe 277, flows through the connection pipe 112 via the second expansion valve 280, and passes through the indoor heat exchanger 110 of the indoor unit 100, so that cooling is implemented.
In another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, floor heating and space heating may be simultaneously performed.
In detail, the branching pipe 264 is arranged at the place where the connection pipe 260 of the outdoor unit 200 and the connection pipe 111 of the indoor unit 100 meet with each other, and the flow control valve 113 is installed on the connection pipe 111 in such a way as to be separated from the branching pipe 264. The high temperature high pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 210 flows toward the hot water heat exchanger 230 by passing through the branching pipe 264 via the 4-way valve 220 and the connection pipe 260, and at the same time, flows through the flow control valve 113 and passes through the indoor heat exchanger 110 of the indoor unit 100 via the connection pipe 111.
Accordingly, since the heat source of the outdoor unit 200 may be simultaneously directed toward the floor heating part 500 and the indoor unit 100, it is possible to simultaneously perform floor heating by the floor heating part 500 and space heating by the indoor unit 100.
S Of course, in the case of cooling, the same operations as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 are performed.
In still another embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, while heating water is supplied by the boiler unit 400, the waste heat of the exhaust gas produced from the boiler unit 400 is recovered through the heat pipe 470 from the exhaust gas recovery heat exchanger 401 to raise the temperature of water in the auxiliary tank 480. The water in the auxiliary tank 480 with a raised temperature is passed through the fan coil part 250 of the outdoor unit 200 via the connection pipes 481 and 482, and is introduced into the boiler unit 400 through the connection pipe 483 and the return pipe 520. As a consequence, it is possible to solve a problem caused due to frosting of the heat exchanger 252 of the fan coil part 250 constituting the outdoor unit 200 in a winter time (through a defrosting function), and, since water with a heat source to some extent is introduced again into the boiler unit 400, gas consumption of the boiler unit 400 may be reduced.
That is to say, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, when a defrosting operation is performed by transferring only the heat source of the waste heat of the exhaust gas from the boiler unit 400 to the fan coil part 250 through the heat pipe 470 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, in the case where the heat quantity of the waste heat of the exhaust gas transferred is insufficient, as shown in FIG. 5, a defrosting function may be performed not only by heat exchange with the heat pipe 470 in the auxiliary tank 480 but also by receiving a portion of the heat source of the heating water as the heating S water is circulated through the connection pipes 481 and 482.
In the embodiments, a heat pump and a boiler unit may be held at an optimal operation state according to the temperature of outside air. For example, a heat pump sole operation is performed in the case where the temperature of outside air is 3Li or over, a combined operation is performed in the case where the temperature of outside air is between -12r1 and 21, and a boiler unit sole operation is performed in the case where the temperature of outside air is -13-or under.
Such operating conditions according to the temperature of outside air do not have any limiting senses, and conditions of outside air may be changed.
In the embodiments, smart operating functions are possible. For instance, it is possible to perform a total energy priority operation, a carbon dioxide emission priority operation, an energy cost priority operation, a power peak avoiding operation, and so forth.
Namely, in the total energy priority operation, operating efficiencies of the heat pump and the boiler unit are compared according to the temperature of outside air.
Consequently, for example, in the case where the temperature of outside air is 3D or over, a heat pump sole operation is performed, and, in the case where the temperature of outside air is between -1 2r1 and 2r1, a combined operation is performed such that the heat pump is operated with priority and the boiler unit is complementarily operated when a load is insufficient.
A boiler unit sole operation is performed in the case where the temperature of outside air is -13-or under.
In the carbon dioxide emission priority operation, the heat pump which emits a small amount of carbon dioxide is operated with priority at a place where a limit is placed on emission of carbon dioxide.
In the energy cost priority operation, a power rate and a gate rate per unit heat quantity are compared, and the boiler unit and the heat pump are selectively operated in such a manner that a cost per unit heat quantity is minimized.
In the power peak avoiding operation, in the case where a limit is placed on power peak, a boiler unit priority operation is performed to avoid the power peak.
In the embodiments, since a heat pump, a boiler unit and a water tank unit are integrally constructed, miniaturization is possible so that space utilization efficiency is increased. In the case where an installation space is limited, a heat storage tank of a water tank unit may be separately installed.

Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
