  • Patent number: 11867441
    Abstract: A non-stop defrosting multi-connected hot water system and a control method. Heat is recovered by utilizing the characteristic of a phase-change heat storage module that can store heat, and then the heat is released during defrosting. In a defrosting process, modes of a hydraulic module and an indoor unit are not changed, and a four-way valve is not reversed, so as to avoid the influence of the defrosting process on an indoor ambient temperature and a water temperature of the hydraulic module, and avoid the condition where a liquid refrigerant generated in the defrosting process does not evaporate and directly flows back into a compressor which causes liquid return of the compressor, thus improving the reliability of the overall operation of the system.

  • Publication number: 20220196259
    Abstract: A three-pipe, multi-split system and a control method thereof. The three-pipe multi-split system includes an outdoor unit, a multi-split indoor unit, and a hydraulic module. By optimizing a refrigerant system, the phenomenon that a refrigerant is throttled before flowing through a refrigerant heat dissipation module or supercooled when passing through a plate heat exchanger which causes a relatively low temperature of the refrigerant entering the refrigerant heat dissipation module and consequent condensation on the refrigerant heat dissipation module to produce condensate water and then causes a damage to a compressor frequency conversion module can be avoided. In addition, more refrigerant is caused to flow through the refrigerant heat dissipation module to reduce the temperature of the module.
