Air conditioning system, peripheral air-conditioning unit thereof and water pipeline upgrading method for heating purposes

This invention describes how to add air conditioning to an existing central heating system that uses circulating fluid to warm rooms. It integrates a refrigeration circuit, complete with a compressor and valves, into the existing heating system's room units. This allows the system to function as a heat pump, providing both heating and cooling through the same fluid network.

Why it matters: Since 2014, heat pump technology has become significantly more efficient and widely adopted as a decarbonization solution. This invention's focus on retrofitting existing hydronic heating systems with heat pump functionality for both heating and cooling aligns with current energy transition goals.
