The present disclosure relates to an air conditioning apparatus, and specifically, to an air conditioning apparatus using a unitary vapor compression heat pump that use two heat and mass loosely-coupled transfer heat exchangers to independently process indoor sensible heat loads and latent heat loads, and fresh air loads.
A material with a moisture absorption function may be coated on a surface of a heat exchanger to form a heat exchanger capable of processing latent heat of air efficiently. A finned tube heat exchanger in a conventional vapor compression refrigeration system is replaced with the heat exchanger whose surface is coated with a desiccant layer (hereinafter referred to as a dehumidification heat exchanger), to form a high-efficient fresh air dehumidifier (hereinafter referred to as an absorption dehumidifier). There exist the following air conditioning apparatuses, for example, Chinese patents CN 864033A and CN101171459A. That is, in a vapor compression refrigeration cycle involving multiple heat exchangers, at least one heat exchanger is a dehumidification heat exchanger, the dehumidification heat exchanger is used to regulate the humidity of air, and then other heat exchangers or other air conditioning systems are used to regulate the temperature of the air.
For the defects in the prior art, the objective of the present disclosure is to provide a unitary air conditioning system with temperature and humidity loosely-coupled control. The invented unitary air conditioning system uses two same dehumidification heat exchangers to take place the coils in normal heat pump air conditioning systems. A specific feature of the dehumidification heat exchanger is that its airside heat and mass transfer is loosely-coupled, where the heat transfer between the refrigerant flowing in the tube of the dehumidification heat exchanger and the processing air flowing through the dehumidification heat exchanger depends on the temperature of the refrigerant, however the mass transfer (water vapor absorption) depends on both the refrigerant temperature and the duration of sorption process. Based on this feature, a temperature and humidity loosely-coupled control strategy is proposed to operate the invented unitary air conditioning system. Taking the cooling and dehumidification mode for example, at first, the supply air temperature will be satisfied through regulating the refrigerant temperature and then the relative humidity of the supply air will be satisfied through regulating the duration of the sorption process.

Because of the feature, that is, the absorption effect, of the heat exchanger used in the present disclosure, when the present disclosure is heating in winter, the evaporator is not frosting, and during the heating, humidification can also be performed, thereby improving the comfort of the indoor supply air in winter.
