Abstract

The present invention discloses a variable temperature air-conditioning method using underground reservoir and water-source heat pump with energy-storage and its specialized equipment, which includes a geothermal heat exchanging cycling loop and an air-conditioning heat exchanging cycling loop, wherein the air-conditioning heat exchanging cycling loop includes a variable temperature air-conditioning heat exchanging cycling loop. In the geothermal heat exchanging cycling loop, the water-source heat pump exchanges energy with energy-storage tanks, and in the air-conditioning heat exchanging cycling loop, the energy-storage tanks exchanges energy with an air-conditioning load loop.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . A variable temperature air-conditioning method using underground reservoir and water-source heat pump with energy-storage, comprising steps of:
 (a) collecting energy from a underground reservoir via a water-source heat pump,   (b) buffering energy in a plurality of energy-storage water tanks respectively, and   (c) exchanging energy between at least one said energy-storage water tank and an air-conditioning load.   
     
     
         12 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein each energy-storage water tank exchanges energy with an output of the water-source heat pump and a variable temperature air-conditioning load respectively. 
     
     
         13 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein energy exchanging between the energy-storage water tanks and air-conditioning load are constant without interval. 
     
     
         14 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 12 , wherein energy exchanging between the energy-storage water tanks and air-conditioning load are constant without interval. 
     
     
         15 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein step (b) and step (c) are conducted simultaneously or respectively. 
     
     
         16 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein step (b) and step (c) are respectively. 
     
     
         17 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein step (b) and step (c) are simultaneous. 
     
     
         18 . The variable temperature air-conditioning method, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein step (b) and step (c) are respectively. 
     
     
         19 .
