Abstract (en)

A heat pump system includes a base refrigeration circuit, a heat accumulator, an auxiliary heat exchanger and an outdoor heat exchanger defrosting and cooling means. In the base refrigeration circuit, a compressor, a four-way valve, an indoor heat exchanger, a cooling expansion valve, a heating expansion valve, an outdoor heat exchanger and the four-way valve are connected in a sequence by a refrigerant conduit. The four-way valve and the compressor are connected by a refrigerant suction conduit. The heat accumulator includes a bypass refrigerant conduit connected to the refrigerant conduit between the cooling and heating expansion valves. The heat accumulator has a heating heat exchanger and is injected with a heat medium. The auxiliary heat exchanger is installed in the outdoor heat exchanger and connected to the heat accumulator by a heat medium supply conduit and a heat medium return conduit. The defrosting and cooling means includes a heat exchanger and a costless heat reservoir.
