Abstract
A heat pump system and a method for implementing efficient evaporation by using a geothermal well are provided. The system includes a stepped underground evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, a liquid storage tank, and a throttle. The underground evaporator includes an inner pipe and an outer pipe. The inner pipe is designed into a multi-section structure. Each section includes a gas guiding pipeline, a baffle plate, and a seepage hole. Under the action of the structure, a liquid working medium flowing into the underground evaporator flows downwards along an inner wall of the outer pipe, and absorbs heat from an underground rock mass and gasifies into a gas working medium; and the gas working medium flows upwards to ground. Compared with the prior art, neither gas-liquid re-entrainment nor a liquid accumulation effect can occur in the underground evaporator designed according to the system and method.
