As described in the background of the invention section,
BIPV is integrated with a photovoltaic building, and the photovoltaic technology is widely applied at present; some BIPVs adopt semitransparent film photovoltaic cells to combine with building glass, and the advantage of this is that can also light transmission when generating electricity, reduces the influence of photovoltaic to indoor daylighting.
But translucent BIPV will rise to higher temperatures through sun exposure when operated for a long period in summer. The high temperature can reduce the work efficiency and the service life of the thin film battery on one hand, and on the other hand, the comfort of the daily life of people in the building is reduced. The existing photovoltaic curtain wall can meet the self-cooling requirement through a cooling device, and the cooling device is mainly actively air-cooled or water-cooled. Although such devices are capable of achieving photovoltaic cooling, they themselves can adversely affect building comfort when the ambient temperature is low. For example, in cold winter, such devices can exacerbate adverse heat dissipation from the inside of a building to the outside, so that the heat preservation of the building is poor, the energy consumption is high, and the air-cooled or water-cooled device is large in size, so that light entering the room can be weakened, and the lighting of the building is poor. At the same time these devices require additional energy consumption (e.g. electrical energy because both the pump and the fan need to be powered), which makes the building running costs high.
For the above reasons, the present embodiment provides an automatic on-off passive cooling device of a semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall, the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall includes a semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cell, the automatic on-off passive cooling device includes a cooling mechanism having a cooling medium circulation channel 200 closely attached to a backlight side of the semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cell;
the cooling medium circulation channel 200 is used for collecting heat and conducting directional heat of the semi-transparent photovoltaic curtain wall, and the heat is generated by the semi-transparent photovoltaic curtain wall or/and the semi-transparent thin film photovoltaic cell;
an automatic opening and closing valve 53 is installed on the cooling medium circulation passage, and the automatic opening and closing valve 53 automatically closes or opens the cooling medium circulation passage 200 according to the ambient temperature.
Through the technical characteristics, the cooling structure can be automatically closed or opened according to the ambient temperature, when the cooling structure is used, the automatic opening and closing valve is automatically closed or opened after sensing the ambient temperature, after the automatic opening and closing valve is opened, cooling medium circulates to the cooling circulation channel after heat exchange is carried out by the cooling structure, and the cooling circulation channel is tightly attached to the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell, so that heat exchange is carried out on the film photovoltaic cell, the cooling of the battery of the curtain wall is realized, and extra energy (such as electric energy) is not needed to be provided in the whole cooling process.
The cooling medium circulation channel can collect heat generated by the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall or/and the semitransparent film photovoltaic cells, and directionally conduct the heat to a designated position, wherein the designated position is a mounting position of the cooling structure (such as the edge of the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall or a gap between adjacent semitransparent photovoltaic curtain walls), and after heat exchange between the cooling medium and the cooling structure, the cooling medium is recycled to the cooling medium circulation channel, and heat collection and directional heat conduction are performed on the photovoltaic curtain wall again.
The heat transfer to the indoor side of semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall or semitransparent film photovoltaic cell can be avoided through directional heat conduction, and simultaneously the adverse heat dissipation problem of the indoor side to the environment when the environment temperature is lower of traditional photovoltaic curtain wall heat abstractor is also overcome.
In order to realize that the automatic opening and closing valve controls the on-off of the cooling medium circulation channel according to the ambient temperature, in an embodiment, the automatic opening and closing valve at least comprises:
a spool acting on the cooling medium circulation passage; and
the actuator is connected with the valve column and drives the valve column to open and close the cooling medium circulation channel;
the actuator is a temperature memory alloy piece, the valve column is driven to move by sensing the temperature change form, and the medium flow area of the cooling medium circulation channel is changed by the movement of the valve column.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the self-opening and self-closing valve includes a valve seat 531, an actuator 532, and a conduit 533, as shown in fig. 2. The actuator 532 is located above the valve seat 531, a valve rod 534 is inserted into the actuator 532 and the valve seat 531, a valve column 535 is disposed at the bottom of the valve rod 534, the valve column 535 has a through hole 536, and the through hole 536 is matched with the pipe 533, as shown in fig. 3. The actuator 532 is made of a temperature memory alloy material, and when the temperature changes, the actuator 532 generates directional expansion and contraction, so as to raise or lower the valve rod 534. When the air temperature is high, the temperature memory alloy expands downwards to enable the valve rod 534 in the actuator 532 to move downwards, the valve column 535 is driven to move, the valve is opened, the pipeline 533 is communicated, and the cooling medium circulation channel is opened; when the air temperature is low, the temperature memory alloy contracts upwards to enable the valve rod 534 in the actuator 532 to move upwards, the valve column 535 is driven to move, the valve is closed, the pipeline 533 is not communicated, and the cooling medium circulation channel is closed.
In one embodiment, the on-off valve 53 may take other forms, as shown in FIG. 4. Fig. 4 is the same as fig. 2 in principle for two self-opening and closing valves. The self-opening and closing valve actuator 532 of fig. 4 is of a more compact dome-shaped design, is smaller and more space-efficient; however, the self-opening and closing valve 53 of fig. 4 is relatively complex to install and maintain, and the machining process of the actuator 532 is more complex, and the overall cost of the valve is higher.
To enhance the heat collection and directional conduction, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the cooling mechanism includes:
a plurality of heat pipes 3 closely attached to the backlight side of the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell, and the flow passages of the heat pipes are mutually communicated to form a heat collecting unit with a cooling medium circulation channel 200; and
a heat sink 100 located above the heat collecting unit;
the heat dissipation part is respectively communicated with the outlet and the inlet of the cooling medium circulation channel, the medium enters the heat dissipation part after passing through the heat collection unit element, and the medium after heat dissipation is recycled to the heat collection part.
The technical characteristics are that a cooling medium circulation channel is formed by the heat pipe, heat is transferred by utilizing the principle of the heat pipe, and when the translucent film photovoltaic cell is used, heat generated during working is transferred to a liquid medium in the heat pipe. The liquid medium absorbs heat to generate phase change from liquid state to gas state; the gaseous medium enters the heat dissipation part to exchange heat, after the heat exchange, the gaseous medium is cooled and liquefied, the liquid flows back to the heat pipe again, and the next circulation is continued. The heat collection (heat absorption) of the semi-transparent photovoltaic curtain wall or/and the semi-transparent thin film photovoltaic cell is realized by adopting the principle of the heat pipe, and the heat is directionally transferred to a designated position for heat dissipation. The heat transfer to the indoor side of semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall or semitransparent film photovoltaic cell can be avoided through directional heat conduction, and simultaneously the adverse heat dissipation problem of the indoor side to the environment when the environment temperature is lower of traditional photovoltaic curtain wall heat abstractor is also overcome.
Meanwhile, the technical characteristics are that the self-opening and closing valve is combined with the traditional heat pipe, and the self-opening and closing valve is self-adaptively opened and closed through temperature. In the traditional photovoltaic cell cooling device design, the scheme adopting the active cooling mode needs to consume energy to control the opening and closing of the cooling device, and the scheme adopting the passive cooling mode cannot control the opening and closing of the cooling device. The technical characteristics are that the self-adaptive start-stop valve formed by adopting the temperature memory alloy is added in the traditional passive heat pipe cooling scheme, so that the effect of controlling the start-stop of the cooling device without extra energy consumption is achieved.
In traditional cooling device, many cooling device has adopted the scheme of arranging of large tracts of land and intensive heat dissipation pipeline to seek to realize good cooling effect, but do not consider indoor daylighting demand, lead to the application scene to receive the restriction. Therefore, in order to solve the problem and improve the cooling capacity of the heat pipe to the semi-transparent thin film photovoltaic cell, the density degree of the heat pipe is arranged according to the heating part or/and the heating value of the photovoltaic curtain wall, the heat pipe is arranged in a cross shape (shown in fig. 5), an arc shape (shown in fig. 6), a fold line shape (shown in fig. 7), a card taking needle shape (shown in fig. 8) or the like, the cooling capacity of the heat pipe to the semi-transparent thin film photovoltaic cell can be improved by adopting the arrangement, meanwhile, the problem that the heat pipe shields indoor light can be solved, and the blocking of excessive heat pipes or unreasonable arrangement to indoor light can be reduced by adopting the arrangement. The temperature distribution of the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2 during operation is characterized by middle high temperature and four sides low temperature. This temperature distribution characteristic causes non-uniform thermal deformation inside the battery, resulting in a shortened battery life. To solve this problem, the heat dissipation effect of the middle area of the semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cell 2 should be enhanced, that is, a heat pipe runner arrangement scheme with dense middle and sparse periphery is adopted.
In order to improve the cooling capacity of the heat pipe, in an embodiment, the cross section of the heat pipe 3 is square, arched, or ring pipe, wherein the curved design of the arched cross section can increase the effective heat dissipation area of the heat pipe 3, and has excellent heat bearing capacity. The characteristic of the annular pipe-shaped cross section of the interior of the heat pipe is that the characteristic can promote the realization of the regional flow of the gas-liquid working fluid, improve the circulation rate of the working fluid in the interior of the heat pipe and enable the heat dissipation process of the heat pipe 3 to be more efficient.
As shown in fig. 9, the inner side of the heat pipe is uniformly provided with a plurality of tooth-shaped structures 31, a first capillary structure 32 is disposed between the tooth-shaped structures 31, and a second capillary structure 33 is disposed outside the tooth-shaped structures 31. The heat pipe can guide liquid water from the condensing end to the evaporating end to absorb heat, so that the reflux rate of condensed working fluid is increased, the starting temperature of the heat pipe is reduced, and the thermal response rate and the anti-gravity effect of the heat pipe are improved.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10, the cross section of the heat pipe 3 is arch-shaped, the chamber 34 is filled with working fluid, and the inner wall is provided with an inner capillary structure 35. The inner capillary structure 35 has larger unit area, can bear larger thermal power impact, has larger heat transfer quantity, and is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the whole cooling device.
Illustratively, the heat pipe 3 is in the shape of a collar in cross section as shown in fig. 11, and the structure thereof includes a first tubular body 36 and a second tubular body 37. The first chamber 361 and the working fluid are provided in the interlayer between the first tubular body 36 and the second tubular body 37. The second tubular body 37 is composed of an inner tube 371 and a capillary structure 373. The inner tube 371 is a hollow stent net structure, and is made of polymer net polymer. The inner tube 371 has a separate second chamber 372 inside. The capillary structure 373 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner tube 371. The working fluid absorbs heat at the evaporation end of the first tubular body 36 to form a vapor, which will enter the second chamber 372 and move toward the condensation end and condense into a liquid, which then flows back to the evaporation end through the capillary structure 372 on the outer circumference of the inner tube 371. When the heat pipe with the structure works, liquid-gas phase fluid circularly flows in a separation state, the flow resistance is low, and the heat exchange effect is good.
In an embodiment, the heat dissipation element comprises a medium accommodating part, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are arranged on the outer side of the medium accommodating part, a medium outlet of the medium accommodating part is communicated with an inlet of the cooling medium circulation channel, and a medium inlet of the medium accommodating part is communicated with an outlet of the cooling medium circulation channel; the medium accommodating portion and the cooling medium circulation passage are filled with a cooling medium.
The medium accommodating part is a liquid storage tank 52 or a structure with a liquid storage cavity, preferably, the medium accommodating cavity is the liquid storage tank 52, and a plurality of radiating fins are arranged on the liquid storage tank 52, as shown in fig. 12, the liquid storage tank is transversely arranged above the heat pipe, and in use, gaseous medium in the heat pipe enters the liquid storage tank 52 through the heat pipe. The liquid storage tank 52 absorbs the heat of the high-temperature gas medium and then the temperature rises, and the heat radiating fins 51 connected with the liquid storage tank 52 quickly transfer the heat to the outdoor air, so that the gas medium is cooled and liquefied; and an automatic opening and closing valve 53 installed at the liquid outlet 54 of the liquid storage tank is automatically opened after the tank body temperature rises.
Because of the space limitation, the liquid storage tank 52 is longitudinally installed, as shown in fig. 13, for example, two independent condensation chambers 521 may be additionally provided at two ends of the liquid storage tank 52 in the vertical direction, and the heat dissipation fins 51 may be welded to the outer wall surface of the condensation chambers 521. This alternative may be employed when the gap between the upper and lower photovoltaic curtain walls is narrower. In this case, the gap between the curtain walls can only accommodate the liquid storage tank with smaller volume, so the condensation chamber 521 is additionally arranged on the basis of the transverse installation scheme and is arranged on two sides of the curtain walls with more space.
The two arrangement modes of the liquid storage tank can evaporate heat conducted by the cooling medium circulation channel formed by the heat pipes at the gap or the edge of the light curtain wall.

Through the technical characteristics, the film battery is ensured to be in a stable temperature range, and the dual functions of efficiently generating electricity by utilizing solar energy and maintaining indoor illumination are realized; the automatic-opening and closing passive cooling device can be manually adjusted by a worker according to seasons or environmental temperatures, for example, the cooling device is adaptively started in a relatively hot season (such as summer or autumn), so that efficient cooling is realized; if in seasons with low temperature (such as spring or winter), the cooling device can be manually turned off by a worker, and the cooling device is not cooled after being turned off, and the medium in the heat pipe is subjected to phase change under the action of the temperature and cannot circulate, so that the indoor temperature is kept, the indoor temperature is more suitable, and the energy consumption of indoor heating equipment (such as an air conditioner and the like) is reduced.
Meanwhile, the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall is composed of glass, a transparent backboard and semitransparent film photovoltaic cells, so that the photovoltaic curtain wall has a light transmission function, and enough indoor lighting is ensured; meanwhile, the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall is provided with the automatic opening and closing passive cooling device, and the heat preservation function of the curtain wall can be realized.
As shown in fig. 12-15, the outer glass 1, the semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cells 2, the heat pipes 3 and the transparent back plate 4 of the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall are arranged in sequence in the outdoor-to-indoor direction. First, the translucent thin-film photovoltaic cell 2 is attached to the side of the outer glass 1 facing the room by gluing. The heat pipe 3 is closely attached to the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2, and a heat conducting medium is filled in the contact surface of the heat pipe 3 and the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2. The heat pipe 3 is welded with the frame 5, and the flow channel of the heat pipe 3 is communicated with the frame flow channel 55. The frame 5 is fixed in its position by being adhesively connected to the outer glass 1 and the transparent back plate 4. The transparent back plate 4 is provided with a groove, and is adhered to the side of the semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cell 2 and the heat pipe 3 facing the room by gluing. The heat radiating fins 51 are welded to the outer surface of the liquid storage tank 52. The liquid outlet 54 of the liquid storage tank 52 is connected with an automatic opening and closing valve 53. The self-opening and closing valve 53 is connected with the frame flow passage 55. The air inlet 56 is directly communicated with the frame flow channel, wherein the liquid outlet 54 is lower than the air inlet 56, so that a liquid phase medium (or working medium) can enter a cooling medium circulation channel under the action of gravity, and the cooling can be realized without additional power medium.
Meanwhile, for the stability of the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall, transparent materials are filled in the gaps between the semitransparent film photovoltaic cells and the heat pipes and the gaps between the adjacent heat pipes; therefore, the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall can also have a sound insulation effect.
The working principle of the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain is as follows: the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2 is attached to the indoor side of the outer glass 1 and converts solar energy into electric energy. The heat pipe 3 is attached to the indoor side of the semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cell 2, and transfers heat generated during operation of the cell to a liquid medium in the heat pipe. The liquid medium absorbs heat to change phase, and the liquid medium changes into gas. Gaseous medium enters the reservoir 52 through the rim flow channel 55 and the inlet port 56. The liquid storage tank 52 absorbs heat of the high-temperature gas medium and then increases in temperature. The heat radiating fins 51 connected to the liquid storage tank 52 rapidly transfer heat to the air outside, so that the gaseous medium is cooled down and liquefied. An automatic opening and closing valve 53 installed at the liquid outlet 54 of the liquid storage tank is automatically opened after the tank body temperature rises. Under the action of gravity, the liquid medium in the tank enters the heat pipe 3 to continue the next circulation through the liquid outlet 54, the automatic opening and closing valve 53 and the frame flow channel 55. The transparent back plate 4 mounted on the side of the heat pipe 3 facing the room can fix and protect the heat pipe 3 and the like.
Meanwhile, after the semitransparent photovoltaic curtain wall is installed in a building, if in seasons with low temperature (such as spring or winter), workers can manually close the cooling device and do not cool after closing the cooling device, and due to the fact that the medium in the heat pipe is subjected to phase change under the action of the temperature, the heat pipe has a certain temperature and cannot circulate, the indoor temperature can be kept warm, the indoor temperature is more suitable, and the energy consumption of indoor heating equipment (such as an air conditioner and the like) is reduced.
The working medium flow loop in the cooling medium circulation channel is shown in fig. 14, a dotted line represents the flow direction of the gas working medium, and a solid line represents the flow direction of the droplet working medium. The liquid medium in the liquid storage tank 52 flows out from the liquid discharge port 54. When the temperature of the battery rises, the automatic opening and closing valve 53 is opened, and the liquid working medium enters the top of the frame flow channel 55. A part of the liquid working medium directly flows into each heat pipe 3 from top to bottom from the top of the frame flow channel 55. The residual liquid working medium flows from the two sides of the frame flow channel to the bottom of the frame flow channel from top to bottom. The capillary structure in the heat pipe 3 can make the liquid working medium at the bottom of the frame flow channel 55 flow from bottom to top against gravity. The liquid working medium entering the heat pipe 3 absorbs heat from the semitransparent thin film photovoltaic cells 2 and the transparent back plate 4 and then evaporates into gas. The gas working medium flows out from the top of the heat pipe 3, enters the top of the frame flow channel 55, flows into the upper part of the liquid storage tank 52 through the air inlet 56, is condensed into liquid after releasing heat on the inner wall surface of the tank, flows downwards and is converged at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 52.
Illustratively, the outer layer glass 1 material is tempered glass; the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2 is a perovskite photovoltaic cell; the material of the heat pipe 3 is copper; the transparent backboard 4 is made of transparent organic glass; the frame 5 is made of aluminum, the radiating fins 51 are made of copper, and the main material of the self-opening and closing valve 53 is stainless steel. Firstly, the frame 5 is assembled, the radiating fins 51 are welded on the outer surface of the liquid storage tank 52, the liquid outlet 54 of the liquid storage tank 52 is connected with the automatic opening and closing valve 53 through bolts, and the automatic opening and closing valve 53 is connected with the frame runner 55 through bolts. When the photovoltaic cell is integrally assembled, firstly, the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2 is adhered to one side of the outer glass 1 facing the indoor by adopting hot melt adhesive; filling heat conduction silicone oil into the contact surface of the heat pipe 3 and the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2; the transparent backboard 4 is adhered to the indoor side of the semitransparent film photovoltaic cell 2 and the heat pipe 3 by gluing; finally, the heat pipe 3 is welded with the frame 5, and the frame 5 is glued with the outer layer glass 1 and the surrounding area of the transparent back plate 4 by adopting hot melt adhesive.
