An electronic expansion valve and an assembly method therefor. The electronic expansion valve includes a screw rod component, a movable connection component, a valve pin component and an elastic element. One end of the elastic element abuts the movable connection component, and the other end thereof abuts the valve pin component. In the period from the valve pin component closing the valve port part to the screw rod component moving a pre-set displacement amount in the valve closing direction, the elastic element does not generate an elastic force pushing the valve pin component towards the valve port part; and in the period from the valve pin component closing the valve port part to in a case that the screw rod component moving more than the pre-set displacement amount in the valve closing direction, the elastic element generates an elastic force pushing the valve pin component towards the valve port part.

A refrigerant sub-system includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and a refrigerant-air heat exchanger. The compressor receives and compresses refrigerant. The condenser condenses the refrigerant and transfers heat from the refrigerant to a first fluid. The expansion valve expands the refrigerant. The evaporator vaporizes the refrigerant at the first pressure and transfers heat from a second fluid to the refrigerant. The refrigerant-air heat exchanger has a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, the condenser is adapted to condense a first portion of the refrigerant from a vapor to a liquid, and the refrigerant-air heat exchanger is adapted to condense a second portion of the refrigerant from a vapor to a liquid and transfer heat from the second portion of the refrigerant to air.

A water treatment system of coupling a heat pump with multi-effect evaporation that comprises a lithium bromide absorption-type heat pump circulation system, a multi-effect evaporation circulation system and a compression-type heat pump circulation system is provided. The vapor in a tail-end evaporator of the multi-effect evaporation circulation system is introduced into a generator in the absorption-type heat pump to release heat and condense. A dilute solution in an absorber of the absorption-type heat pump is introduced into a first-effect evaporator to be evaporated by a treated water, and a condensation heat of the vapor generated by the generator of the absorption-type heat pump is recovered by an evaporator of a compressor heat pump, and another air source evaporator absorbs heat from ambient air to supply heat for the generator by a heat pump condenser.

A thermal management system includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, a first valve control device, a first indoor heat exchanger, a second indoor heat exchanger and a second valve control device. The thermal management system includes a heating and dehumidifying mode. The first valve control device and the second valve control device both include a fully open mode and a throttle mode. In the heating and dehumidifying mode, the second valve control device is in the throttle mode, and the first valve control device is in the throttle mode or the fully open mode. In the cooling mode, the first valve control device is in the throttle mode, and the second valve control device is in the fully open mode or the throttle mode.

An air conditioning apparatus is provided that may include an outdoor unit including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger and through which a refrigerant is circulated, an indoor unit through which a fluid, such as water is circulated, and at least one heat exchange device including a heat exchanger in which the refrigerant and the fluid are heat-exchanged with each other. The at least one heat exchange device may include a high-pressure guide tube that extends from a high-pressure gas tube of the outdoor unit so as to be connected to a first side of the heat exchanger, a low-pressure guide tube that extends from a low-pressure gas tube of the outdoor unit so as to be combined with the high-pressure guide tube, a liquid guide tube that extends from a liquid tube of the outdoor unit so as to be connected to a second side of the heat exchanger, and a solenoid valve installed in the high-pressure guide tube or the low-pressure guide tube to perform an opening and closing operation so as to allow the refrigerant to flow in a first direction. The high-pressure gas tube and the low-pressure gas tube may be connected to each other by a single gas tube, and when the indoor unit performs a cooling operation or a heating operation, flow of refrigerant in the first direction may be blocked in a state in which power is applied to the solenoid valve.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for ensuring adequate and uniform cooling for any heat-generating device that experiences large heat pulses by integrating parallel expansion devices and their control directly into each of a discrete cooling load or cold plate. One of the parallel expansion devices is an integrated cartridge thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) and the other is an electrically-actuated valve. The TXV is positioned such that a sensing element is located directly within an exit refrigerant stream, thereby improving time-response of the valve and eliminating the need for a capillary tube. The electrically-actuated valve provides a sudden burst of refrigerant while the TXV is responding to sudden heat pulses and operates at the command of the heat generating system or triggered by a temperature rise. The disclosed operational method leads to an order of magnitude reduction in settling time after a heat pulse.

A heat exchanger, a heat pump system, and a heat exchange method. The heat exchanger operates in a cooling mode or a heating mode. A heat exchange medium flows through via a first flow path within the heat exchanger in the cooling mode, and flows through via a second flow path within the heat exchanger in the heating mode. A diversion component is disposed within the heat exchanger. The diversion component is configured such that the length of the first flow path is different from the length of the second flow path; moreover, a partial segment of the first flow path and a partial segment of the second flow path overlap with each other, and flow directions of the heat exchange medium therein are identical.
