What are the key components of the heat pump system that contribute to its effectiveness in heat exchange?
The compressor, heat exchangers, refrigerant pipes, water pipes, and bypass pipe work together to facilitate efficient heat exchange between the refrigerant, air, and water, ensuring optimal performance of the 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.
