Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the double-compressor air-source heat pump heating and heat supply field, and more especially, to an out-of-the-box double-compressor air-source heat pump heating and heat supply system with intelligent control.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

The traditional double-compressor air-source heat pump heating and heat supply system generally consists of three parts, namely the main engine, the water tank, and the heating system; for a household water tank, first, water tanks with a general capacity of 150 to 320 L have a huge size and will occupy a very large part of building area when being installed, and even if some are mounted outside the wall with supports, due to the weight of the tank itself and the water added in, this installation method is quite dangerous; second, as to the material and technology for the tank liner, no matter whether it is stainless or enameled, owing to the deficiency of the manufacturing technology, tank leakage cannot be avoided; third, the heat exchanger in the tank is generally made of copper tubing or stainless steel tubing, which in the areas with inferior water quality may be corroded and perforated, leading to refrigerant leakage, which will be fatal for the unit; fourth, since the main engine and the water tank are required to be connected mutually with a connecting tube, it is very difficult to avoid human-made refrigerant leakage in installation; fifth, due to the characteristics of water-storage-type heat pumps, it is required to provide a long period to heat the water up to a higher temperature, which cannot satisfy the requirement of instant water supply, besides, in the later period, the water temperature fluctuates significantly, which may affect the comfort of water use; in addition, since the level of condensation temperature determines the energy consumption of the unit, long-term operation under high condensation temperature and pressure of a traditional unit with a water tank will be a great challenge to the service life of the compressor; sixth, if taking a storage-type water tank, it is generally required to mix water when using water, which may cause several problems: 1) the hot water in the water tank is of low utilization rate; 2) during heat preservation, the water temperature of the water tank drops inevitably, which may increase energy consumption; 3) when installing a water valve at the user's house, it is undoubtedly necessary to mount a water mixing valve, which may increase the material cost; seventh, generally, when the heat for the heating system comes from the water tank, it is required to install a heat exchange coil in the tank to form a closed circuit with a floor heating coil or radiator and circulating water pump, which increases the difficulty of tank manufacturing technology and occupies water tank capacity; eighth, since traditional heating and heat supply systems are not provided with intelligent control, various remote monitoring cannot be conducted, thus being unable to meet more humanized demands of modern people: 1) for example, the user needs to start up the heating system in advance or at a fixed time while no one is at home, so it cannot be realized; 2) if the user has stayed outside for a long time and forgets to cut off the water for heating use, they cannot close the heating system remotely; 3) in case of some faults, traditional heating and heat supply systems require onsite analysis for elimination, especially, in areas with weak after-sale service sites or remote areas, the after-sale service timeliness and the customer satisfaction greatly decreases.
