In this document, "/" denotes division and "×", "denotes multiplication, referring to formulas, if not specifically stated.
Fig. 1 discloses a solar energy system comprising a solar collector 5, which absorbs solar energy, heats a fluid flowing therethrough, and then the fluid enters a heat utilization device for utilization, and a heat utilization device 4.
As disclosed in fig. 2-5, the trough-type solar collector 5 using heat pipes, the collector 5 includes a reflector 1 and a heat collecting pipe 2, the heat collecting pipe 2 is located at a focal position of the reflector 1, the reflector 1 reflects solar energy to the heat collecting pipe 2 for heating water in the heat collecting pipe 2, the heat collecting pipe further includes a heat pipe 3 disposed in the heat collecting pipe 2, as shown in fig. 2, the heat pipe 3 is disposed inside the heat collecting pipe 2 and extends upward from the bottom of the heat collecting pipe 2, the heat pipes 3 are multiple, and the bottom of the lower end of the heat pipe is connected to the inner wall of the heat collecting pipe.
The traditional solar heat collecting pipe directly irradiates the heat collecting pipe through sunlight to generate steam, and the convection heat exchange inside the heat collecting pipe is utilized to carry out fluid convection heat exchange on the upper part and the lower part of the heat collecting pipe, but in the case, the lower part of hot fluid is required to naturally convect to the upper part, so that the heat exchange efficiency is low.
Preferably, the bottom of the lower end of the heat pipe 3 is the inner wall of the heat collecting pipe 2. Thus, the heat pipe and the heat collecting pipe can be taken as a whole, the inner wall of the heat collecting pipe is taken as the lower end wall surface of the heat pipe, the contact thermal resistance is reduced, the integral structure is compact,
Preferably, the heat collecting tube and the heat pipe are integrally manufactured.
Preferably, the communication pipe 6 is provided between at least two adjacent heat pipes 3. For example, as shown in fig. 3, a communication pipe 6 is provided between two heat pipes 3 adjacent to each other. Of course, FIG. 3 is merely a schematic illustration and, while only two heat pipes are shown, it is not intended to indicate only two heat pipes. By arranging the communicating pipe 6, uneven heating between the heat pipes 3 can be avoided, pressure balance between the heat pipes is realized, and the defect caused by uneven heating between different heat pipes is avoided.
Preferably, the distance between adjacent communication pipes 6 increases from the lower portion of heat pipe 3 to the upper portion of heat pipe 3. Because the heat pipe absorbs solar energy at the bottom and then releases heat in the heat collecting pipe. The fluid continuously releases heat along with the upward flow of the vertical part of the fluid of the heat pipe, and the pressure in different heat pipes is gradually reduced along with the continuous heat release of the fluid, so that the pressure balance can be ensured to be achieved as soon as possible in the flowing process of the fluid, the number of communicating pipes is saved, and materials are saved.
Preferably, the distance between adjacent communication pipes 6 increases from the lower portion of heat pipe 3 to the upper portion of heat pipe 3 to a larger extent. Experiments show that the arrangement can ensure that the pressure balance is achieved more optimally and more quickly in the fluid flowing process. This is also the best way of communicating by extensively studying the law of change of the pressure distribution.
Preferably, the diameter of communication pipe 6 is reduced from the lower portion of heat pipe 3 to the upper portion of heat pipe 3. The purpose is to ensure a larger communication area, because the fluid continuously releases heat along with the upward flow of the fluid, and the pressure in different heat pipes is smaller and smaller along with the continuous heat release of the fluid, so that the pressure balance can be ensured to be achieved as soon as possible in the flowing process of the fluid through the arrangement.

Further preferably, as shown in fig. 6, the improved solar system includes a heat collector 5, a heat accumulator 41, a heat radiator 42, a valve 16, a valve 14, a valve 15, and a temperature sensor 17, where the heat collector 5 is communicated with the heat accumulator 41 to form a circulation loop, the heat collector 5 is communicated with the heat radiator 42 to form a circulation loop, pipelines where the heat accumulator 41 and the heat radiator 42 are located are connected in parallel, the heat collector 5 absorbs solar energy to heat water in the heat collector 5, the heated water enters the heat accumulator 41 and the heat radiator 42 through a water outlet pipeline 8 respectively to exchange heat in the heat radiator 42, and water flowing out of the heat accumulator 41 and the heat radiator 42 enters the heat collector 5 through a water return pipeline 17 to exchange heat.
As shown in fig. 6, a valve 16 is provided on the outlet pipe for controlling the total amount of water entering the heat accumulator 41 and the radiator 42, a valve 14 is provided at the position of the inlet pipe 16 of the pipe in which the radiator 42 is located for controlling the flow rate of water entering the radiator 42, a valve 15 is provided at the position of the inlet pipe 10 of the pipe in which the heat accumulator 41 is located for controlling the flow rate of water entering the heat accumulator 41, and a temperature sensor 17 is provided at the position of the inlet of the radiator 42 for measuring the temperature of water entering the radiator 42. The central controller 7 is in data connection with the valves 16, 14, 15 and the temperature sensor 17 in order to monitor the opening of the valves 16, 14, 15 and the temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
Preferably, the central controller 7 is in data connection with a cloud server so as to transmit monitored data to the cloud server, the cloud server is connected with a client, and the client can obtain various monitored information through the cloud server.
Preferably, when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 17 is lower than a certain temperature, the central controller 7 controls the valve 14 to increase the opening degree, and controls the valve 15 to decrease the opening degree, so as to increase the flow rate of the hot water into the radiator 42 to increase the heat radiation amount. When the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 17 is higher than a certain temperature, the central controller controls the valve 14 to decrease the opening degree, and controls the valve 15 to increase the opening degree, so as to decrease the flow rate of the hot water entering the radiator 42 to decrease the heat radiation amount.
Preferably, the mode of operation is an automatic mode.
Preferably, the central controller 7 is in data connection with a cloud server so as to transmit the monitored opening of the valve 14, the opening of the valve 15 and the temperature data of the water entering the heat sink 42 to the cloud server, and the cloud server is connected with a client, and the client can obtain the monitored data through the cloud server.
The client can input numerical values of the opening degrees of the valve 14 and the valve 15 according to the obtained data, transmit the numerical values to the central controller 7 through the cloud server, and adjust the opening degrees of the valve 14 and the valve 15 through the central controller. This mode of operation is a manual mode.
When the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 17 is low to a certain degree, the capacity of the heat exchanger of the heat radiator for external heat exchange is poor at the moment, and the normal heating requirement cannot be met, which indicates that the heat collecting capacity of the solar heat collector is also problematic, for example, the sunlight is not very strong, or the sun is absent at night, at the moment, the central controller controls the valve 16 to be automatically closed, the valve 14 and the valve 15 are completely opened, the pipelines where the heat accumulator 41 and the heat radiator 42 are located form a circulation pipeline, water enters the heat accumulator 41, the heat energy stored in the heat accumulator 41 heats the water entering the heat accumulator 41, and the heated water enters the heat radiator 42 for heat radiation.
Preferably, the client manually inputs an instruction according to the obtained temperature data measured by the temperature sensor 17, transmits the instruction to the cloud server, and then transmits the instruction to the central controller 7 through the cloud server to determine whether to close the valve 16 and completely open the valve 14 and the valve 15.
Through the operation, when the sunlight is strong, after the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator 42 is met, namely the heat dissipation requirement of a user is met, the excessive heat is stored through the heat accumulator 41, and under the condition that the heat supply capacity of the solar heat collector 5 is insufficient, the heat energy stored by the heat accumulator is utilized to heat circulating water so as to meet the heat dissipation requirement of the radiator 42. Therefore, solar energy can be fully utilized, and waste of excessive heat is avoided.
Preferably, the flow rate of water may be automatically controlled without using the temperature of water entering the radiator 42, and the flow rate of water entering the radiator 42 may be automatically controlled by measuring the ambient temperature around the radiator, for example, by measuring the indoor temperature of the radiator (by providing an indoor temperature sensor that is in data connection with the central controller), and if the indoor temperature is too low, the central controller automatically increases the opening degree of the valve 14 to increase the flow rate of water entering the radiator 42, and if the indoor temperature is too high, the central controller automatically decreases the opening degree of the valve 14 to decrease the flow rate of water entering the radiator 42.
Preferably, the central controller 7 transmits the monitored opening of the valve 14 and the indoor temperature data to a cloud server, the cloud server is connected with a client, and the client can obtain the monitored data through the cloud server.
The client can input the numerical value of the opening of the valve 14 according to the obtained data, transmits the numerical value to the central controller 7 through the cloud server, and manually adjusts the opening of the valve 14 through the central controller 7.
Of course, it is preferable that the flow rate is controlled by the indoor temperature on the premise that the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 17 needs to be higher than a certain temperature, otherwise, when the heat collecting capability of the solar heat collector is deteriorated, the heat radiation effect is not good no matter how the flow rate is increased.
When the pipe in which the heat accumulator and the radiator are located forms a circulation pipe, when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 17 is lower than a certain temperature, the central controller controls the valve 14 to increase the opening degree, and controls the valve 15 to increase the opening degree, so that the flow rate of hot water entering the radiator 42 is increased to increase the heat radiation amount. When the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 17 is higher than a certain temperature, the central controller controls the valve 14 to decrease the opening degree, and simultaneously controls the valve 15 to decrease the opening degree, so as to decrease the flow rate of the hot water entering the radiator 42 to increase the heat radiation amount. The opening degrees of the valves 14 and 15 at this time are kept uniform.
The client can input numerical values of the opening degrees of the valve 14 and the valve 15 according to the obtained data, transmits the numerical values to the central controller 7 through the cloud server, and manually adjusts the opening degrees of the valve 14 and the valve 15 through the central controller 7.
Through such control, the heat of the heat accumulator can be reasonably utilized, and the loss of heat can be avoided.
