This application claims the benefit of the priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. 201310358748.4 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Aug. 16, 2013, entitled “HEM RUMP SYSTEM AND AIR-CONDITIONER”, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present application elates to an air-conditioner, and in particular, to a heat pump system and an air-conditioner.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe air-conditioner generally refers herein to a room air conditioner, and specifically is a set for providing conditioned air into a room (or an enclosed space or area). Most of conventional air-conditioners perform cooling or heating in the room in convective heat-transfer manner. Specifically, a fan coil may serve as the terminal unit of an air-conditioner. A fan is provided in the fan coil in advance. Air in the region of the fan coil is circulated continuously under the action of the fan. The air is cooled or heated after flowing through a refrigerant coil or a hot-water (or chilled-water) coil, thereby cooling or heating the room. Because cooling or heating is achieved in the convective heat-transfer manner, the indoor temperature is not uniform. Either cooling or heating, the indoor temperature difference is generally greater than 10 degrees centigrade, even more than 20 degrees centigrade. Part of the cool or hot airflow is too large, which results in uncomfortableness of a human body, local cold, or even illness.
In order to solve the above problem, a radiation coil is adopted at the terminal of air-conditioner. The radiation coil is provided therein with chilled water (or hot water), and is arranged on the surface structure of the building (the ceiling surface or the ground surface). The chilled water (or hot water) in the radiation coil cools or heats a particular area in radiating manner. Such a structure of air-conditioner achieves the uniform cooling or heating to a certain extent, however, the water circulation loop of the radiation coil is required to exchange heat with a heat exchanger in a refrigerant loop of an air-conditioner firstly, and then exchange heat with the indoor air, thereby adding an intermediate heat exchange procedure and increasing the energy consumption of a power apparatus for delivering water circulation, for example, a circulating pump. Thus, the efficiency of heat exchange is low, and the installation of the system is complex.
In conclusion, it is desirable for the person skilled in the art to improve the efficiency of heat exchange.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the above fact, there are provided according to the present application a heat pump system and an air-conditioner which may increase the efficiency of heat exchange. In order to achieve the above objects, the following technical solutions are set forth in the present application.
A heat pump system includes a main heat pump system, and a directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate provided on a building surface and serving as the terminal of the main heat pump system. The directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate is configured to allow refrigerant in the main heat pump system to circulate therein.

Compared with the air-conditioner in the prior art, since the heat pump system of the present application adopts the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate as the terminal of the main heat pump system, refrigerant in the main heat pump system may exchange heat with air by means of the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate directly, instead of secondary heat exchange of the refrigerant loop and the water circulation loop, thereby reducing loss in intermediate heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat utilization, and omitting the circulating pump for water circulation so as to lower energy consumption and simplify the installation.
The present application further discloses an air-conditioner, including a chassis, and the heat pump system according to any one of the above technical solutions. The main heat pump system of the heat pump system is provided in the chassis.

Preferably, the air-conditioner, the return air intake of the air heat exchanger is also connected to a return air pipe arranged in the room.
A secondary heat exchange of the refrigerant loop and the water circulation loop is needless, thereby reducing loss in intermediate heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat utilization, and omitting the circulating pump for water circulation so as to lower energy consumption and simplify the installation. In the event that the heat pump system has the above technical effects, the air-conditioner with the heat pump system also has the corresponding technical effects.

Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in conjunction with the drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments illustrated below have no any limitation to inventive contents recited in claims, and are not necessary in its entirety for solutions of inventions defined in the claims. p There are provided in the present application a heat pump system and an air-conditioner which may reduce energy consumption of the air conditioner.

The heat pump system includes a main heat pump system 11, and a directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 provided on the surface of the building and serving as the terminal of the main heat pump system 11. The interior of the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 enables the circulation of refrigerant in the main heat pump system 11.
Compared with the air-conditioner in the prior art, since the heat pump system of the present application adopts the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 as the terminal of the main heat pump system 11, refrigerant in the main heat pump system 11 may exchange heat with air by means of the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 directly, instead of secondary heat exchange of the refrigerant loop and the water circulation loop, thereby reducing loss in intermediate heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat utilization, and omitting the circulating pump for water circulation so as to lower energy consumption and simplify the installation.
For the purpose of saving energy further, as shown in
A multistage air filter 7 is further provided at a replacement air intake 57 of the air heat exchanger 51 in order to purify air.
When the main heat pump system 11 is running, the working medium in the main heat pump system 11 flows through a working medium feeding pipe into the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 arranged in the room 31. The working medium is evaporated as a result of absorbing heat front the room 31 so as to radiate cooling quantity (or condensed as a result of releasing heat into the room 31 so as to radiate heating quantity), and then returns to the main heat pump system 11 through a working medium discharging pipe. At the same time, outdoor fresh air flows into the air heat exchanger 51 via the multistage air filter 7, and makes primary heat exchange with the return air from the room 31 so as to obtain primary pre-cooled and filtered replacement air (or pre-heated and filtered replacement air). Then, the primary pre-cooled and filtered replacement air flows into the main heat pump system 11 to be secondarily pre-cooled and dehumidified (or preheated and humidified) so as to form the replacement air which will be supplied into the room 31. Return air undergoing primary heat recovery flows through a heat source side air intake 14 into the main heat pump system 11, and return air undergoing secondary full heat recovery is discharged from an eduction air outlet 16 of the main heat pump system 11.
In order to improve the comfortable feeling in the room, a return air intake 56 of the air heat exchanger 51 is also connected to a return air pipe 36 disposed in the room 31. The return air pipe 36 passes through a return air outlet 34 of the room 31. The provision of the return air pipe 36 may avoid the replacement air from short circuit, and improve indoor air quality.

In order to reduce the loss of cool or heat quantity, a heat retaining layer 47 is provided on a building surface 41. The directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 is fixed to the building surface 41 by means of a bracket 43. In order to reduce the dissipation of cool or heat quantity, a reflecting layer is provided on the outside surface of the heat retaining layer 47 which faces towards the interior of the room 31. The provision of the reflecting layer may transfer cool quantity (or heat quantity) radiated from the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 to the room 31 more efficiently. When the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 is provided on a different building surface 41, the bracket 43 may be varied. For example, when the building surface 41 is a ceiling surface, as shown in
To ensure the aesthetic appearance of the room 31 after the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 is mounted, the decorative face 42 is provided on the side of the directly expanded strong cool--heat radiation plate 21 which is exposed to the outside, and the packed layer 45 with closed cavity structure is located between the decorative face 42 and the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21. The decorative face 42 has different name depending on the different building surface 41. When the building surface 41 is a ceiling surface, the decorative face 42 is the ceiling or any face with ornamental effect. When the building surface 41 is a ground surface, the decorative face 42 is a floor, and specifically, the floor could be lithoid floor, tile floor, metal floor, or wooden floor, etc. When the building surface 41 is a vertical surface, the decorative face 42 is a false wall layer with ornamental effect.
The packed layer 45 has a cavity structure with an enclosed space defined by the decorative face 42, the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 and peripheral structures. Since the packed layer 45 is located between the decorative face 42 and the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21, it is possible to relieve the occurrence of moisture condensation because of local overcooling or the occurrence of overheating of the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 effectively in the cold or heat radiating process. The temperature of the decorative face 42 is more uniform. The comfortable feeling in the room 31 is thus improved.
In order to further relieve the occurrence of moisture condensation because of local overcooling or the occurrence of overheating, the buffer plate 46 is located between the packed layer 45 and the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21. The buffer plate 46 is fixed to the building surface 41 by means of a bracket 44. The provision of the buffer plate 46 could weaken the transfer effect of cool or heat quantity from the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 to the room 31. When the main heat pump system performs refrigerating for heating), the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 achieves secondary heat radiation under the combined effect of the buffer plate 46 and the packed layer 45, so that the temperature of the decorative face 42 further tends to be uniform. The comfortable feeling in the room 31 is thus improved further.
In a further technical solution, in order to prevent damage to inner parts because of moisture condensation in enclosed space of assembly of the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21, an protective condensation trough 49 for receiving condensed water is provided below the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21, and is provided therein with a condensate outlet 40. When the moisture condensation of the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 occurs, it will be collected in the protective condensation trough 49, and drains via the condensate outlet 40 through a preset pipeline. As shown in
Since heat exchange efficiency of the heat pump system with the above structure is higher and the energy consumption is lower, when the directly expanded strong cool--heat radiation plate 21 of the heat pump system is mounted on the building surface 41, construction and layout may be performed on a small area of the building surface 41, rather than the whole building surface 41. In order to achieve the sufficient strength, a supporter 48 adapted for supporting the decorative face 42 is provided between the decorative face 42 and the building surface 41. Specifically, the supporters 48 may be arranged around the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21, so as to separate the building surface 41 with the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 thereon from the building surface 41 without the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 thereon.
As shown in
Because the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 in the air-conditioner disclosed in the embodiments of the application exchanges heat with the room 31 directly, the intensity of the cooling and heating radiation is large, and the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 is mounted on a reduced area with ease. It is possible to ensure the cooling and heating quantity needed for comfortable feeling in the room 31, reduce the area of the room 31 for radiation, and have no effect on the use of space of the room 31.
An air-conditioner is further disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in
Because the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21 and the main heat pump system 11 are combined in the air-conditioner with the above heat pump system, the refrigerant in the main heat pump system 11 exchanges heat via, the directly expanded strong cool--heat radiation plate 21 directly, instead of secondary heat exchange of the refrigerant loop and the water circulation loop, thereby reducing loss in intermediate heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat utilization, and omitting the circulating pump for water circulation so as o lower energy consumption and simplify the installation.
The main heat pump system may undertake both sensible heat load (radiation heat transfer) and latent heat load (replacement air pre-cooled dehumidification or preheated humidification) in the room 31. In order to further ensure the quality of the air and comfort in the room 31, as shown in
In order to reduce the energy consumption, as shown in
As shown in
For the above air-conditioner, only the directly expanded strong cool-heat radiation plate 21, the replacement air intake 35, the return eduction air outlet 34, and the return air pipe 36 need to be arranged in the room 31. The temperature in the room 31 is uniform, without the blown feeling and the noise of the apparatus. In addition, with the replacement air heat pump system 61, the conditioned air in the room 31 is fresh, has stable humidity and clean environment, thereby greatly improving the comfort in the room. Also, such an facility is easy to be installed, and may achieve a strong cooling radiation with a large temperature difference without moisture condensation, nor a strong heating radiation with a large temperature difference without dry and hot feeling and may have a power of the facility reducing more than fifty percent than the conventional air-condition. The use of the air heat exchanger 51 enables an efficient full cool-heat recovery in the replacement air system, a simple structure, small volume, and a low cost.
The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables the person skilled in the art to practice and use the application. Various modifications to these embodiments may be obvious to the person skilled in the art. The general principle defined therein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. Thus, the application is not limited to these embodiments illustrated herein, but conforms to a broadest scope consistent with the principle and novel features disclosed herein.
