Abstract: An embodiment of a thermal storage module installable on a climate control system. The thermal storage module is an independent device that can be mountable between an outdoor unit and an indoor unit of the climate control system. The thermal storage module may include a fluid tank, a fluid pump, a heat exchanger for exchanging thermal energy between the working fluid and a refrigerant flow within the refrigerant circuit, an expansion valve and a solenoid valve, and a controller. The fluid pump is activated when the climate control system is operating in a heating mode and a defrost mode and is deactivated when the climate control system is operating in a cooling mode. The operation of the expansion valve and solenoid valve depends on the operation mode (cooling/heating/defrosting) of the main climate control system.

Abstract: An embodiment of a heat pump for conditioning an interior space includes a thermal fluid circuit. In addition, the heat pump includes an outdoor unit including a refrigerant circuit, a first heat exchanger to exchange heat between a refrigerant of the refrigerant circuit and a thermal fluid of the thermal fluid circuit, and a second heat exchanger to exchange heat between the refrigerant and an outdoor environment. The second heat exchanger having a larger refrigerant volume than the first heat exchanger. In addition, the outdoor unit includes a charge compensator to receive excess refrigerant therein when the heat pump operates in a heating mode and to discharge the excess refrigerant to the refrigerant circuit when the heat pump operates in a cooling mode. The heat pump includes an air handler having a third heat exchanger to exchange heat between the thermal fluid circuit and an airflow for the interior space.

Abstract: An embodiment of a heat pump for conditioning an interior space includes an outdoor unit including an outdoor heat exchanger to exchange heat between a refrigerant and an outdoor environment and an outdoor expansion device. In addition, the heat pump includes an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the interior space and an indoor expansion device to expand the refrigerant flowing into the indoor heat exchanger. Further, the heat pump includes a thermal storage device and a reversing valve that is actuatable between: a first position during the heating mode to direct refrigerant through the indoor heat exchanger, the thermal storage device, the outdoor expansion device, and then the outdoor heat exchanger; and a second position during the defrost mode to direct refrigerant through the outdoor heat exchanger and then the thermal storage device.

Abstract: A self-circulating flocculation washing machine comprises an outer barrel, a clothes washing structure arranged in the outer barrel and a flocculation water treatment device arranged outside the outer barrel, and the flocculation water treatment device comprises a flocculation container for performing flocculation treatment on water drained from the outer barrel; the washing machine is also provided with a circulating pipe for driving washing water in the outer barrel to perform self-circulation from bottom to top; one end of the circulating pipe communicates with a self-circulating water outlet in the lower part of the outer barrel, the other end of the circulating pipe communicates with a water outlet of the flocculation container and a self-circulating water inlet of the outer barrel through a tee joint, and a non-return structure for preventing the flocculation water from reflowing is arranged between the tee joint and the water outlet of the flocculation container.

Abstract: A control method of the washing machine with the washing water recycling function, the method comprises the following steps: Step 1, after the washing stage of the washing machine, feeding washing water into the flocculation barrel, step 2, stirring, flocculating and standing for layering in the flocculation barrel, step 3, refluxing flocculated clean recycling water into the washing barrel, discharging sewage with residual floc, step 4, feeding the tap water into the washing barrel till reaching the rinsing water level, step 5, performing rinsing. In the step 4, before feeding tap water into the washing barrel, it is determined whether or not the washing water inside the washing barrel reaches the rinsing water level L4. If yes, executing step 5. If no, executing step 4 until the rinsing water level L4 is reached.

Abstract: A flocculation washing machine comprises an outer barrel, a washing structure disposed inside the outer barrel and a circulating water treatment device disposed outside the outer barrel. The circulating water treatment device comprises a flocculation treatment unit for performing flocculation treatment on washing water; the flocculation treatment unit is communicated with the outer barrel through a filtering device, so that flocculation water after filtering treatment flows back to the outer barrel. And an overflow port is formed in the filtering device, and a flow sensor for detecting an overflow rate is arranged at the overflow port. A control method of the flocculation washing machine comprises: an overflow rate of the filtering device and/or a liquid level height in a flocculation container are detected in real time, and a blockage state of the filtering device is judged according to a relationship between a detection value and a preset value.
