The invention discloses a
defrosting method of an air source
heat pump water heater. The
defrosting method is characterized by comprising the following steps: the
heat transfer temperature difference and the
heat transfer temperature difference change speed are calculated through measuring the environment temperature and the temperature and time of an
evaporator coil; the environment temperature, the opening time, the
heat transfer temperature difference and the heat transfer temperature difference change speed are compared with
defrosting condition set values; when four defrosting conditions are all satisfied, the defrosting
signal is sent to realize defrosting through normally closed and normally open contacts of a defrosting
relay, start and stop of a fan and a compressor of a
control system and opening and closing of a four-way valve or a defrosting bypass
electromagnetic valve or a defrosting hot water
electromagnetic valve; the defrosting time and the temperature of the coil are compared with defrosting end
signal set values; the defrosting end
signal is sent; the defrosting end procedure is actuated; and the
system recovers normal operation. The defrosting method comprises four-way valve reverse
heat pump circulation, or bypass hot air defrosting, or hot water defrosting, or compound defrosting. The defrosting method is accurate in defrosting judgment, clear in logic, cheap in probe, easy for measuring signals and fast and thorough in defrosting, saves the energy, and is suitable for defrosting of all air source
heat pump water heaters for sucking air energy to produce hot water.
