Definitions

• the invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering and particularly to the field of machinery and more particularly to cooling and heating pumps.
• the invention also refers to the production of hot water for use, where the produced counterbalancing energy discharged into the environment is exploited.
• the heat pump operation principle is based on the absorption from the environment of the energy provided to the user and discharge of the counterbalancing energy therein. That is, when it generates cooling for the needs of the user, it discharges an equal amount of heat into the environment and when it generates heating for the needs of the user, it discharges an equal amount of energy into the environment in the form of cold air or cold water.
• a further advantage of the invention is the reduced environmental burdening, since energy is fully utilized, without discharging it, resulting in recycling the discharged counterbalancing energy.
• a further object of the invention is to provide a novel pump for cooling, heating and hot water production, which can meet the needs of a space, regardless of size, such as a dwelling, but also a business space, such as a hotel.
• Figure 1 is a linear drawing illustrating the system and its particular components. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
• the new type heat pump is an intermodal type device for cooling, heating and simultaneous production of hot water, utilizing the counterbalancing energy produced and discharged into the environment. In this way, losses are significantly reduced, since most of the so far wasted energy is used for the benefit of the consumer by recycling the counterbalancing energy.
• the new type pump of the invention consists of a compressor (1), Fig. 1, and air expansion and water and air compression and water exchangers. In this way, it operates as an air-water pump or water-water pump, as appropriate, simultaneously providing hot water for heating or hot water for use on one side and cold water for cooling on the other.
• the compressor (1) of the invention may be, by option, an open type, a semi- closed type or even a closed type compressor.
• the device has an expansion valve (2) which helps to release the coolant flowing in the tubes (3).
• the expansion valve (2) helps reducing the coolant pressure and thus evaporating, cooling and absorbing heat.
• the system is constructed on or next to one or more inertial containers (4), equipped with exchangers (5), as required.
• a system may have a heat exchanger (6), an exchanger (7) of hot water for use and a cold water exchanger (8), without this being restrictive.
• the system has two inertial containers (4), one for hot water, where the heat exchanger (6) and the hot water exchanger (7) are located, and one for cold water, where the cold water exchanger (8) is located.
• the inertial container (4) also functions as a pump operation balancing vessel, but also for storing energy, to maximize economy. Installing twin inertial containers (4) for counterbalancing energies, where one stores heat and the other one cooling energy, is an important element of economy.
• the intermodal pump can provide air conditioning as the primary function in a space and at the same time, as a secondary function, may provide hot water for use, by utilizing the wasted energy.
• heating and hot water for use supply may be the primary function and cooling through the discharged energy may be the secondary function.
• the new type invention pump can be equipped with air conditioners, cabinets, air conditioning cassettes, ductable units, floor and wall fancoils, etc.
• the pump further has fans (9) on each side which, in the event of additional wasted energy that cannot be utilized, undertake to dispose of this energy to the environment.
• the (one or more) inertial containers (4) may be filled with other liquids, in the place of water, e.g. oil based liquids, liquids with high heat capacity, untouchable by time and with a gasification point above 100 °C.
• special salts with a freezing and melting point of 45-85°C, characterized by high specific heat and high latent heat in phase change may be placed in the hot water inertial container (4).
• the new type pump is tuned and operated by a program that can receive commands, both wired and wireless, over a network.
• the program can also work to control external energy sources that can be connected to the pump, such as a boiler, a solar collector, or even a corresponding backup pump.
• external energy sources such as a boiler, a solar collector, or even a corresponding backup pump.
