Fig. 1 is the structural representation of apparatus for water production from air by employing solar-powered intermittent absorption refrigeration.
Among the figure: 1-adsorbent bed, 2-pressure regulator, 3-surface exchanger, 4-water collector.
The specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments to the detailed description of the invention.
The structural representation of apparatus for water production from air by employing solar-powered intermittent absorption refrigeration of the present invention comprises adsorbent bed 1, surface exchanger 3, pressure regulator 2 and water collector 4 referring to Fig. 1.Adsorbent bed 1 is connected with surface exchanger 3 usefulness pipelines, and in the middle of adsorbent bed 1 and surface exchanger 3 pressure regulator 2 is set, and the lower end of surface exchanger is provided with water collector 4, and the moisture that system freeze-outs from air is collected in the water collector 4.
Adsorbent bed 1 of the present invention is made up of adsorbent bed body and sorbing material.Described adsorbent bed body is the casing of a sealing, is generally made by printing opacity or non-light transmissive material, and having only the one side that receives solar radiation is light transmissive material, as glass etc., purpose is to form a solar receiver, and solar radiant heat is adsorbed material and absorbs, and makes sorbing material desorption wherein.In the adsorbent bed body, be provided with uniform gas-permeable channels, be provided with absorption working pair at the back side of adsorbent bed body and import and export.Sorbing material is wherein formed by porous mass solid or liquid manufacturing, is characterized in meeting that desorption goes out absorption working pair when hot, meets to adsorb into absorption working pair when cold.Absorption type refrigerating has dual mode, and a kind of is physical absorption, as molecular sieve adsorption water, and molecular sieve adsorption methyl alcohol etc.Another kind is a chemisorbed, as the calcium chloride adsorb ammonia.The sorbing material that absorption type refrigerating is commonly used has zeolite, active carbon, silica gel, alumina etc.
Be provided with in the described surface exchanger 3 can phase transformation absorption working pair, it is right that described absorption working pair and sorbing material constitute absorption.The top of surface exchanger is provided with absorption working pair and imports and exports.The shape of surface exchanger mainly is to utilize big characteristics of surface area and air to carry out heat exchange as the outdoor condenser of domestic air conditioning.The characteristics of surface exchanger 3 are: when internal working medium produces evaporative phase-change, utilize its surface that the heat in the outside air is delivered in the inner working medium; When internal working medium produces the condensation phase transformation, utilize its surface that the heat in the internal working medium is delivered in the outside air.The making of surface exchanger 3 can be the form of copper pipe road band aluminium fin form or other pipeline and other increase heat exchange area.For strengthening the water intaking effect, the surface of surface exchanger 3 can be done hydrophobic and be handled, and the surface of surface exchanger is the hydrophobic processing layer, so that make the moisture that freeze-outs fall into water collector 4 as early as possible.
Between importing and exporting absorption working pair import and export with surface exchanger, the absorption working pair of adsorbent bed body is provided with pressure regulator 2.Pressure regulator is made up of to the thermal regulating valve that adsorbent bed flows surface exchanger to one way valve and control absorption working pair that surface exchanger flows adsorbent bed the control absorption working pair that is connected in parallel, thermal regulating valve is a heating power expansion valve commonly used in the refrigeration system, is prior art.The temperature pick up of thermal regulating valve (being the temperature-sensitive point) is arranged on the external surface of surface exchanger, and the temperature on surface is controlled the open degree of thermal regulating valve thus, to adjust the evaporating temperature of absorption working pair in the surface exchanger 3.When sorbing material desorption absorption working pair, reduce the flow resistance of absorption working pair as far as possible, and allow sorbing material fully adsorb absorption working pair.One way valve is the flow direction of control absorption working pair steam, and thermal regulating valve is the flow of control absorption working pair steam, i.e. the evaporating temperature of control surface heat exchanger 3, and the control range that makes evaporating temperature is under the air dew point temperature, on the freezing point temperature of water.
Water collector 4 of the present invention is common water container, should adopt the container that is unfavorable for the internal moisture evaporation.
The new design feature of apparatus for water production from air by employing solar-powered intermittent absorption refrigeration of the present invention is:
1. on the basis of traditional adsorption refrigeration device, be one, be called surface exchanger 3 condenser and evaporator designs.When sorbing material is heated, the absorption working pair desorption in the sorbing material is come out, condensing in surface exchanger 3 becomes liquid, finishes the function of condenser.Sorbing material is met when cold, and the absorption working pair in the surface exchanger 3 is adsorbed onto in the sorbing material, and the absorption working pair in the surface exchanger 3 constantly evaporates, and finishes the function of evaporimeter, produces the refrigeration phenomenon when absorption working pair constantly evaporates.
2. between adsorbent bed 1 and surface exchanger 3, pressure regulator 2 is set, the effect of pressure regulator 2 is according to environment temperature and humidity control system adsorbance when adsorbing night, the evaporating temperature of control absorption working pair is so that allow the central steam of air reach dewpoint temperature and to condense in surface exchanger 3 surfaces.
3. do not contain any moving component in the device of the present invention.
The course of work of the present invention water intaking is as follows: the sorbing material in the daytime adsorbent bed 1 absorbs the radiant heat of the sun, and the absorption working pair desorption in the sorbing material is come out.The absorption working pair steam that desorption comes out enters surface exchanger 3 through pressure regulator 2, and the condensation heat release is condensed into liquid in surface exchanger 3, and this moment, the pressure of system was higher.There is not evening the solar time environment temperature lower, the corresponding reduction of system pressure.The influence that sorbing material is reduced by environment temperature begins to produce adsorption phenomena, and absorption working pair can evaporate under adsorption phenomena becomes gas to satisfy the requirement of absorption.By the adjusting of pressure regulator 2, the evaporating temperature of absorption working pair in the control surface heat exchanger 3, when the surface temperature of surface exchanger 3 be lower than the air dew point temperature, when being higher than the freezing point temperature of water, the moisture in the middle of the air can condense in the surface of surface exchanger 3.Because the effect of gravity, the moisture that freeze-outs can splash in the water collector 4, finishes the water intaking function.
Sorbing material and absorption working pair are that one group of formation absorption is right.For example: molecular sieve and water, molecular sieve are sorbing material, and water is absorption working pair.Suction type can be a chemisorbed, also can be physical absorption.
Absorption is to generally having: active carbon-methyl alcohol (physical absorption), zeolite-water (physical absorption), silica gel-water (physical absorption), metal hydride-hydrogen (physical absorption), calcium chloride-ammonia (chemisorbed), aluminium chloride-ammonia (chemisorbed), active carbon-ethanol (physical absorption), NACF-methyl alcohol (physical absorption).
Although relate to a kind of apparatus for water production from air by employing solar-powered intermittent absorption refrigeration and carried out special description disclosed with reference to embodiment, embodiment described above is illustrative and not restrictive, under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all variations and modification are all within the scope of the present invention.
