연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A heat pump defrost system for efficiently defrosting an outdoor coil while simultaneously operating the heat pump in a normal heating manner. The heat pump defrost system generally includes a primary flow circuit including an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a compressor connected thereto and a reverse valve for toggling a direction of refrigerant flow therethrough, and an auxiliary flow circuit for deicing the outdoor heat exchanger. The auxiliary flow circuit includes a valve for connecting the auxiliary flow circuit to the primary flow circuit, a heat sink in line with the auxiliary flow circuit, wherein the heat sink stores defrost fluid within the auxiliary flow circuit, at least one thermostat to read an outdoor ambient temperature and a control unit for operatively engaging the valve to direct the hot gas from the compressor of the primary circuit within the auxiliary flow circuit and the heat pump according to the outdoor ambient temperature for deicing the outdoor heat exchanger.

1. An air source heat pump for heating and cooling an indoor space comprising a primary flow circuit including an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a compressor connected thereto and a reverse valve for toggling a direction of refrigerant flow therethrough, and an auxiliary flow circuit using a defrost fluid for deicing said outdoor heat exchanger, comprising: a valve for connecting said auxiliary flow circuit to said primary flow circuit;a heat sink in line with said auxiliary flow circuit, wherein said heat sink stores at least a portion of said defrost fluid within said auxiliary flow circuit;at least one thermostat to read an outdoor ambient temperature; anda control unit for operatively engaging said valve to direct hot gas from said compressor within said auxiliary flow circuit to heat said defrost fluid according to said outdoor ambient temperature;wherein said heated defrost fluid is channeled through said auxiliary flow circuit for deicing said outdoor heat exchanger. 2. The heat pump of claim 1, wherein said auxiliary flow circuit operates substantially independently of said primary flow circuit. 3. The heat pump of claim 1, wherein said auxiliary flow circuit operates simultaneously with said primary flow circuit. 4. The heat pump of claim 1, wherein said at least one thermostat includes a second thermostat for reading a temperature of said heat sink. 5. The heat pump of claim 4, wherein said control unit toggles said valve according to said temperature of said heat sink. 6. The heat pump of claim 1, including a sensor positioned proximate said outdoor heat exchanger for detecting ice buildup upon said outdoor heat exchanger. 7. The heat pump of claim 6, wherein said sensor is comprised of an air pressure switch. 8. The heat pump of claim 6, including a pump in line with said auxiliary flow circuit to direct defrost fluid from said heat sink towards said outdoor heat exchanger according to said ice buildup reading of said sensor. 9. The heat pump of claim 8, wherein said control unit activates said pump. 10. The heat pump of claim 1, including a desuperheater inline with said auxiliary flow circuit for heating a defrost fluid. 11. The heat pump of claim 10, wherein said desuperheater is positioned within said heat sink. 12. The heat pump of claim 1, wherein said auxiliary flow circuit includes a first portion intertwined with said outdoor heat exchanger. 13. The heat pump of claim 12, wherein said auxiliary flow circuit includes a second portion to return reconnect said first portion with said heat sink to form a circulating loop for defrost fluid within said auxiliary flow circuit. 14. A method of deicing an outdoor heat exchanger of an air source heat pump, comprising: reading an outdoor ambient temperature;determining if said outdoor ambient temperature is below a first predetermined temperature;providing a heat sink to store defrost fluid prior to deicing;toggling a valve to input hot gas into said heat sink if said outdoor ambient temperature is below said first predetermined temperature;heating said defrost fluid with said hot gas;sensing a condition indicative of ice buildup upon said outdoor heat exchanger;activating a pump fluidly connected to said heat sink;circulating said defrost fluid through an auxiliary flow circuit; andheating said outdoor heat exchanger to remove said sensed ice buildup upon said outdoor heat exchanger. 15. The method of claim 14, including the steps of: reading a temperature of a heat sink;determining if said temperature of said heat sink is below a second predetermined temperature;toggling said valve to input said hot gas into said heat sink if said outdoor ambient temperature is below said first predetermined temperature and said temperature of said heat sink is below said second predetermined temperature. 16. The method of claim 14, including a desuperheater to heat said defrost fluid stored in said heat sink. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein said first predetermined temperature is slightly above a water freezing temperature. 18. An air source heat pump for heating and cooling an indoor space comprising a primary flow circuit including an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a compressor connected thereto, a pair of air handling means for directing hot or cold air from said indoor heat exchanger and said outdoor heat exchanger and a reverse valve for toggling a direction of refrigerant flow therethrough, and an auxiliary flow circuit for deicing said outdoor heat exchanger, comprising: a valve for connecting said auxiliary flow circuit to said primary flow circuit;a heat sink in line with said auxiliary flow circuit, wherein said heat sink stores at least a portion of defrost fluid within said auxiliary flow circuit;a first thermostat to read an outdoor ambient temperature;a control unit for operatively engaging said valve to direct hot gas from said compressor within said auxiliary flow circuit according to said outdoor ambient temperature for deicing said outdoor heat exchanger;wherein said auxiliary flow circuit includes a first portion intertwined with said outdoor heat exchanger;wherein said auxiliary flow circuit includes a second portion to return reconnect said first portion with said heat sink to form a circulating loop for said defrost fluid within said auxiliary flow circuit;wherein said auxiliary flow circuit operates simultaneously with said primary flow circuit;a sensor positioned proximate said outdoor heat exchanger for detecting ice buildup upon said outdoor heat exchanger;wherein said sensor is comprised of an air pressure switch;a pump in line with said auxiliary flow circuit to direct said defrost fluid from said heat sink towards said outdoor heat exchanger according to said ice buildup reading of said sensor;wherein said control unit activates said pump; anda desuperheater inline with said auxiliary flow circuit for heating said defrost fluid. 19.
