Abstract
A heat pump system, a defrosting method for the heat pump system, and a controller. The heat pump system includes a heat exchanger assembly for exchanging heat with a fluid medium, the heat exchanger assembly comprised a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger arranged in parallel, the second heat exchanger being arranged upstream of the first heat exchanger in the flow direction of the fluid medium, and when the heat pump system is operating in a heating mode and the temperature and/or ambient humidity to which the heat exchanger assembly is currently exposed reach a pre-set value, the second heat exchanger and the first heat exchanger function as a condenser and an evaporator, respectively.
