1, overview

Air source heat pump has the advantages of wide application range, can be used all year round, high energy efficiency, it can save about 70% of energy, is environmentally friendly and harmless, has no combustion emissions, will not cause damage to our health, is easy to use, and has small space occupancy. Extremely suitable for large central heating.

The working principle of the air source heat pump is based on the "Inverse Kano Cycle". The organic working fluid continuously exchanges heat with water, throttling, absorbs air heat, and pressurizes and heats up the compressor to complete the working fluid cycle, absorbs air heat + the injected energy of the compressor is much greater than the heat obtained by electric heating. Based on process calculation, this paper explores the technical economy of the air source heat pump process.

2, circulating working fluid

The following are the physical properties parameters of several circulating working fluids suitable for air source heat pumps used in the north.

3, air source heat pump process flow

low-pressure and low-temperature gas phase working fluid is pressurized and heated by the compressor to become a high-pressure and high-temperature gas phase working fluid. The high-pressure and high-temperature gas phase working fluid is heat exchanged with cold water in the condenser /hot water tank and condensed into a high-pressure medium-temperature liquid working fluid. The high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid working fluid is reduced to a low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase working fluid after passing through the throttle valve . The low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase working fluid is heat exchanged with the air (absorbing heat from the air) and becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas phase working fluid, and the working fluid completes a complete closed cycle.

4, process simulation calculation

.1, process simulation calculation process

l According to the brief description of the air source heat pump process in Section 3, establish the process simulation calculation process of this process.

low-pressure and low-temperature gas phase working fluid R10 is pressurized and heated by compressor C1A/C1B. The high-pressure and high-temperature gas phase working fluid R12 is heat exchanged with cold water R20 in the condenser/hot water tank E11 and condensed into high-pressure medium-temperature liquid working fluid R13. After the cold water R20 is heated, R21 goes to the water use place. The high-pressure medium-temperature liquid working fluid R13 is reduced to low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase working fluid R14 through the throttle valve V1. The low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase working fluid R14 is then absorbed from the heat exchanger E12 and then becomes low-pressure and low-temperature gas phase working fluid R15/R10. The working fluid completes a complete closed cycle.
