HEAT PUMP SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318879 titled 'HEAT PUMP SYSTEM
The patent application describes a heat pump system that utilizes air as a heat source and includes various components such as a compressor, heat exchangers, refrigerant pipes, water pipes, and a bypass pipe to efficiently exchange heat between the refrigerant, air, and water during defrosting operations.
- The system includes a compressor to compress the refrigerant, a first heat exchanger to exchange heat between the refrigerant and air, and a second heat exchanger to exchange heat between the refrigerant and water.
- It also features first and second refrigerant pipes to guide the refrigerant between the heat exchangers, a third refrigerant pipe to discharge heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger, and first and second water pipes for water circulation.
- A bypass pipe connects the first and third refrigerant pipes to bypass the second heat exchanger, and a third heat exchanger heats the refrigerant with water during defrosting operations.
Potential Applications: - Residential heating and cooling systems - Commercial HVAC systems - Industrial heat pump applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat exchange during defrosting operations - Optimal utilization of air and water as heat sources
Benefits: - Energy efficiency - Cost-effectiveness - Improved performance during defrosting
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Heat Pump System for Enhanced Energy Efficiency This technology can be applied in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to improve heating and cooling efficiency, reduce energy costs, and enhance overall system performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the bypass pipe improve the efficiency of the heat pump system during defrosting operations? 2. What are the key advantages of using air and water as heat sources in this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a heat pump system in which a heat source is air, and may include: a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and air, a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and water, a first refrigerant pipe configured to discharge the refrigerant heat exchanged in the first heat exchanger during a defrosting operation for the first heat exchanger, and a second refrigerant pipe configured to guide the refrigerant from the first refrigerant pipe to the second heat exchanger. the heat pump system may further include: a third refrigerant pipe configured to discharge the refrigerant heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger after flowing into the second heat exchanger through the second refrigerant pipe, a first water pipe configured to supply water to be heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger, a second water pipe configured to return the water heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger, a bypass pipe connecting the first refrigerant pipe and the third refrigerant pipe and configured to bypass the second heat exchanger, and a third heat exchanger configured to heat exchange the refrigerant guided by the bypass pipe with the water flowing in the second water pipe, during the defrosting operation.
