Abstract
An air conditioning system and a control method are provided. The air conditioning system includes: at least one heat exchanger (1, 2); and at least one control mechanism. Each control mechanism is connected to one of the at least one heat exchanger (1, 2) and is configured to control the corresponding heat exchanger to switch between a first working state and a second working state. The heat exchanger (1, 2) drains liquid when in the first working state and stores liquid when in the second working state.
Claims8
An air conditioning system, comprising:
- at least one heat exchanger;
- and
- at least one control mechanism;
- each of the at least one control mechanism is connected to one of the at least one heat exchanger and is configured to control the corresponding one of the at least one heat exchanger to switch between a first working state and a second working state;
- wherein the at least one heat exchanger drains liquid when in the first working state and stores liquid when in the second working state;
- a four-way valve and a compressor;
- wherein, each of the at least one control mechanism is arranged between the at least one heat exchanger correspondingly controlled by the at least one heat exchanger and the four-way valve;
- wherein at least one control mechanism comprises a first control mechanism which correspondingly controls a first heat exchanger of the at least one heat exchanger;
- wherein the first control mechanism comprises:
- a first solenoid valve, which is arranged between the first heat exchanger and the four-way valve;
- and a second solenoid valve, which is arranged between the first heat exchanger and the compressor, wherein, in a case that the first solenoid valve opens and the second solenoid valve closes, the first heat exchanger is in the first working state, and when the first solenoid valve closes and the second solenoid valve opens, the first heat exchanger is in the second working state;
- a throttle mechanism, which is arranged between the first heat exchanger and the second solenoid valve;
- wherein the throttle mechanism comprises:
- a filter, which is connected to the first heat exchanger;
- and a capillarity tube, which is arranged between the filter and the second solenoid valve.
