2 Solar energy station

The invention relates to a high-performance solar collector system with integrated heat pump, which can be manufactured in the factory and is adjustable according to the position of the sun, and which can be used in a variety of ways, optionally with the appropriate storage capacity as a solar energy station, according to my method DE-P 41 34 749.8, which can be installed and mounted in sunny locations such as roof ridges, flat roofs or outdoor facilities, either stationary or mobile, and which converts solar energy into heat and electricity all year round, as a permanent source of supply for all types of buildings, companies, factories, processes and consumers with maximum performance efficiency, using total heat recovery from supply buildings with ventilated full thermal insulation (5 cm air gap - 10 cm thermal insulation) with approx. 80% energy savings and approx. 60 dB effective sound insulation, the entire investment costs are profitably returned as a unit specified in the generic term of patent claim 1. genus.

It is known that large-scale solar collector systems mounted on roofs only receive sun for a few hours, which only adequately ensures the supply of hot water in summer, with relatively poor efficiency.

It is known that the portable solar system PCT/DE79/ooo36, our own invention, is a ready-to-connect stationary unit. Disadvantage: the sun has to move around the system.

It is known, process: DE-P 41 34 749.8 (own invention) with the title: Solar system + solid storage + heat pump equals ONE.

or: regenerative energy cycle, consisting of:

DE-P 43 o3 156 Solar collector system DE-G 92 12 218 Facade cladding with rear-ventilated

Full thermal insulation (air gap = 5 cm, thermal insulation 10 cm).

DE-P 42 &ogr;8 625.6 Device for renewable energy conversion (heat pump).

Advantage: Without this process there is no alternative, all or nothing, if the sun is to solve our energy and environmental problem.

It is not known whether large-scale solar collector systems can be regulated according to the position of the sun, fitted into the roof ridge, installed on flat roofs or outside the supply facility.

It is not known whether a heat pump is integrated into a pivoting solar collector, which compensates for periods of solar outages and provides alternative energy supply.

It is not known that solar collector systems have honeycomb-like inserts as an absorption surface to improve the performance efficiency, which accommodate a copper pipe coil and, through bending and appropriately arranged spacers, allow two independent air spaces (circulating air lock) for warm air heating, drinking water production and treatment, grain dryers, drying systems and much more, allowing year-round use.

It is not known that similar closed units can be used as year-round and operational solar energy stations which, using 80% energy savings in buildings and total heat recovery as the main energy source for all areas, are used economically and in an environmentally friendly manner.

The invention is based on the task of industrially manufacturing a versatile solar energy station with a pivoting solar collector system and integrated heat pump, with free location determination as well as the highest possible power efficiency and year-round solar exploitation including solar

time to satisfactorily meet the energy supply requirements for the selected application area.

By constantly aligning the solar collector system with the sun's axis throughout the day and throughout the year, the entire capacity of the sun's power to convert it into heat energy will be transferred to the solar collector surface for the first time over the long term and will be available for economic use, with an integrated heat pump ensuring the supply of heat and cold (energy supply) for hours or periods on sunny days. Of course, energy requirements must be reduced enormously and new areas of use for mixed temperatures of 25 ⁰ C to 50 ° C must be used (washing machines and dishwashers, cool boxes, warm air heating via recirculation locks and the like) in order to then make full use of the free solar energy without any idle time. This is the only way the cost factor# per KW/h of solar energy or energy consumed can be far cheaper than the price of nuclear power per KW/h and can be profitable.

The selected regenerative energy cycle, in which a facade cladding with rear-ventilated full thermal insulation is essential for total heat recovery, including reuse for the heat pump while simultaneously saving 100% energy, which also includes continuous room ventilation and fresh air supply as well as providing up to 60 dB of sound insulation, meets the requirements for a solar ENERGY SUPPLY.

Further additional measures are intended to significantly improve the quality of the energy conversion of solar energy into heat (economical heat generation or performance efficiency) of the system by using honeycomb absorption surfaces to accommodate the copper pipe coil and to create air spaces and air circulating locks underneath them for individual use by any energy consumer and profession. In a solar energy station of the type described in the preamble of patent claim 1, this task is carried out in accordance with the

Invention solved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The essence of the invention is the total conversion of solar energy into heat for heating hot water while simultaneously heating the circulating air by constantly adjusting the solar collector system to the sun's axis, whereby even if the sun does not shine throughout the year, an integrated heat pump maintains the energy supply.

The essence of the invention is the enlargement of the absorption surface through honeycomb profiling and the creation of a greenhouse effect within the solar collector system in the air lock, which provides noticeable heat output even in sunny weather.

The essence of the invention is the integration into a regenerative energy cycle by converting heat recovery into economical heat utilization using a heat pump, which is the prerequisite for a safe and sufficient energy supply all year round, whereby solar energy, with the support of a heat pump, becomes the main energy supplier and eliminates the need for fossil fuels and nuclear power plants, creates more secure jobs worldwide and promotes people's health in an environmentally friendly way.

a solar energy station The special part is the unrestricted, risk-free utilization of solar energy for all branches of the economy _, including for drinking water production, sea water desalination, biological composting plants, recycling plants and much more, which creates new manufacturing facilities and secure and permanent jobs, work and bread for everyone and guarantees economic growth in all countries of the world, a new economic sector for the protection of the environment and life, even in the poorest areas.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, a solar energy station that can be regulated according to the position of the sun is shown schematically by a large-area solar

collector system 1 which is mounted on a supporting frame upper part 6, the base part 3 of which accommodates support rollers with holders 21 for safe guidance, as well as a gear ring 2o for the rotation area, in which a drive gear with worm gear 25 and DC control motor 27 engages and during the day rotates the entire solar energy station clockwise according to the time rhythm of a clock by 19o degrees in 10 minute intervals, always directed towards the sun's axis, until it reaches the stop and end point switch, whereby the sunset is reached and the system runs in the opposite direction back to the starting point or sunrise, and the same process takes place with the new day.

Figure 2 shows the structural design and functional equipment of a solar energy station, in which a solar collector system 1 inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with solar cells 13 arranged at the top is mounted ready for connection in the rotating and pivoting upper part 22 and is supported by a support frame covered with thermal insulation W, the top part (base part) 3 of which accommodates the heat pump and is firmly anchored to the roof ridge, flat roof or installation site so that it cannot be lifted off.

Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of the drive and the control elements for the movements of the solar collector system 1, which can be swiveled by 19o degrees in both directions, consisting of a direct current control motor for reversing operation 27 with a drive pinion or gear 25 and an adjusting potentiometer 29 which is adjusted to the position of the sun in 10 minute increments via a timer mechanism 3o and is controlled to change direction via two limit switches. Alternatively, the electronic sensor control, whose impulses are received from daylight or directly from sunlight, and passed on via amplifiers, is also suitable. A hand crank drive with a gear pinion 32 and bearing block 33 is provided for the mechanical rotary movements of the solar energy station.

Figure 4 shows the structure of the solar collector system 1, whose hail-proof insulating glazing with cover profile 4 and support frame 2 form the weather protection and allow the sun's rays to act on the honeycomb-shaped absorption surface 14 with inserted copper pipe coil 11 with a matt black coating and convert it into heat, whereby the air space formed by the lateral bevel Io above the base plate 9 and the circulating air lock U formed by inserted spacers 9a between the edging frame with insulating part 5 and the base plate 9 is also heated up and, above all, in winter this free heat is transferred to the room via the circulating air, while in summer, with the help of these air spaces, drinking water can be produced or used for drying systems.

Figure 5 shows the honeycomb-shaped profiled insert as an absorption surface 14 with attached copper pipe coil 11 which is intended for the production of hot and warm water from solar energy, whereby despite the low construction height a maximum area share for the conversion of solar energy rays into heat output is achieved and the inclined surfaces of the change in the position of the sun offer the same effective areas in every inclined position, whereby the two-layer sheet metal layer and thus achieved two air spaces maximize the greenhouse effect on sunny days and have a positive influence on the overall performance efficiency.

Figure 6 shows the supporting scaffold upper part 6 in a lattice skeleton construction made of aluminum profiles as a self-supporting construction with a 100 mm thick thermal insulation W and a provided inspection opening 7, which is rotatably connected to the fixed base plate.

Figure 7 shows an application example of how a solar collector system in conjunction with a heat pump can be used to produce drinking water for daily use at any time and in any place.

Demand due to temperature difference e.g. hot water-cold air, or hot water-cold water, or hot air-cold air, each forcing condensation and collecting or capturing the blessing in containers.

Figure 8 shows an example of the use of a solar energy station in a closed, odorless biological composting plant for all kitchen and garden waste, including the resulting faeces, as a simple home system to give back to the garden in compost form the substances it has used to grow the crop. The solar energy tempers the shredded waste to approx. 38 °C (similar to our body temperature) and accelerates the decomposition process (fermentation) in a natural way. The resulting methane gas formation is also used for heating. By continuously maintaining a constant temperature of the biomass, the rotting and fermentation process is accelerated many times over, similar to the living body.

Figure 9 shows an example of the use of a solar energy station for heating buildings, which _opens the heating circuit without control devices when excess pressure is created in the air circulating lock due to the effect of heat and starts the air circulating circuit and thus the heating of the room. The precisely set height difference between the air inlet and the warm air outlet prevents cooling at night. If there is no excess pressure in the air circulating lock, no air movement is possible within the air circulating lock.

Figure Io shows an example of the free choice of location for a solar energy station for all-day solar energy use. The only condition is that the sun must be able to reach the solar collector at any time of day, if we are going to go to the trouble of aligning the solar system with the sun's path in order to benefit from this.

All the figures 1 to 4 shown and described only guarantee, as a whole, the task and functionality of a solar energy station, which collects and converts into usable heat everything that the sun provides us with in the form of ENERGY.

We ourselves are creating environmental problems through half-measures that are unnatural and that only make a maximum of 30% of the sun's power available on countless roofs, each facing the sun on a given east, southeast, south or southwest side. A huge amount of development money was spent on this half-measure without being able to solve a single ENERGY PROBLEM. It wasn't the advertising that was to blame, but rather the cycle of the sun _; it selfishly only briefly covered the collectors and produced miserable levels of efficiency. On the other hand, there is the enormous energy requirement, which no one wants to downplay.

We know from nature that every body has its own fur, or at least protection from heat and cold, depending on its regional location. This is not important for our own bodies. When we go outside, we put on a thick coat in winter, and in the house the oil, gas or electric heating is on, even if the environment and our health suffer.

Renewable energy cycle is a process whereby the core, a facade cladding with ventilated full thermal insulation (5 cm air gap and 10 cm thick insulation shell) saves around 80% of heating energy and thus creates the prerequisite for the use of solar energy as the sole energy source for heating, hot water and many countless applications. The solar collector system is a part of this process, which converts the sun's rays into heat. In order to achieve good economic efficiency with the maximum achievable efficiency here too, the entire solar collector system must be constantly adjusted to the sun. Only this way can solve our energy problem.
