Features: Energy is the foundation of modern society. With the rapid development of China's national economy, power load records have been constantly broken: among them, the increase in air conditioning electricity consumption is a major reason for the significant surge in electricity usage. Therefore, vigorously promoting various air conditioning energy-saving technologies, including water ring heat pump air conditioning systems, holds positive and far-reaching significance. The water ring heat pump air conditioning system refers to an application method of small-scale water/air heat pump units, where small water/air heat pump units are connected in parallel through a water loop to form a heat pump heating and cooling air conditioning system primarily characterized by recovering internal building waste heat. Starting in the 1980s, water ring heat pump air conditioning systems were adopted in some foreign-invested buildings in China. Due to the following features of these projects: the unique function of recovering internal building waste heat; unlike traditional heating systems, they cause severe environmental pollution; eliminating or reducing the cooling and heating source equipment and plant rooms of conventional air conditioning systems, facilitating individual metering and billing, and making installation and management easier. Therefore, adopting water ring heat pump air conditioning system technology is one of the effective measures to address energy and environmental issues in HVAC systems. In the 21st century, as an air conditioning system with energy-saving and environmental protection significance, the water ring heat pump air conditioning system will have broad application prospects in China. As a specialized engineering book on water ring heat pump air conditioning systems, this book systematically introduces issues such as the operational characteristics, energy consumption analysis, design key points, external energy sources, engineering cases, and application evaluations of water ring heat pump air conditioning systems, demonstrating strong practicality and operability. This book is suitable for reading by a wide range of technicians engaged in HVAC design and heat pump professionals, as well as for graduate and undergraduate students in heating, gas, ventilation, and air conditioning fields.
