Said flow channels are open at different sides of the building each and transport air. Inside the channels, generators comprising corresponding air wheels for generating power are disposed.

Description

System zur Energieerzeugung Power generation system
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein System bzw. auf eine Vorrichtung zur Energieerzeugung gemäß Oberbegriff Patentanspruch 1 .The invention relates to a system or to a device for generating energy according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist bekannt (DE-PS 600 039). Die bekannte Vorrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus einem im Inneren eines Gebäudes mäanderförmig verlaufenden Zugkanal, der einen Einlaß auf Kellerniveau des Gebäudes und einen Auslaß am Dach des Gebäudes aufweist. In dem Zugkanal sind Schaufel- oder Turbinenräder mehrerer Generatoren angeordnet, die zur Stromerzeugung dienen. Die Wirkung der bekannten Vorrichtung beruht auf einem Kamineffekt.A device of this type is known (DE-PS 600 039). The known device consists essentially of a meandering draft channel inside a building, which has an inlet at the basement level of the building and an outlet on the roof of the building. Paddle or turbine wheels of several generators are used in the draft channel, which serve to generate electricity. The effect of the known device is based on a chimney effect.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zur Energieerzeugung aufzuzeigen, die sich problemlos in ein Gebäude integrieren läßt und eine wirksame Energieerzeugung unter Ausnutzung einer Luftströmung ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to demonstrate a device for energy generation which can be integrated into a building without any problems and which enables efficient energy generation using an air flow.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Vorrichtung entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgebildet.To solve this problem, a device is designed according to claim 1.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind die für die Luftströmung dienenden Kanäle jeweils beidendig an der Gebäudeaußenseite offen. Genutzt wird bei der Erfindung der auf ein Gebäude auftreffende Wind und die durch diesen Wind erzeugten Druckunterschiede an verschiedenen Seiten des Gebäudes.In the device according to the invention, the channels serving for the air flow are open at both ends on the outside of the building. The wind that strikes a building and the pressure differences generated by this wind on different sides of the building are used in the invention.
Im Gegensatz zu Solaranlagen weist eine derartige, die Energie einer Luftströmung in einem Zugkanal nutzende Vorrichtung den Vorteil auf, daß sie unabhängig von Tag und Nacht sowie auch unabhängig von der Intensität der Sonnenstrahlung arbeitet. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann problemlos in ein Gebäude integriert werden, insbesondere auch derart, daß sie an der Gebäudeaußenseite nicht sichtbar ist. Sie bedarf daher auch keiner besonderen Genehmigung durch eine Baubehörde. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann auch problemlos in vorhandenen Gebäuden montiert werden und benötigt keinen besonderen Platzbedarf, insbesondere dann, wenn die Strömungskanäle nur in Böden und Decken verlaufen.In contrast to solar systems, such a device, which uses the energy of an air flow in a draft channel, has the advantage that it works independently of day and night and also independently of the intensity of solar radiation. The device according to the invention can be easily integrated into a building, in particular also in such a way that it is not visible on the outside of the building. It therefore does not require any special approval from a building authority. The device according to the invention can also be installed without problems in existing buildings and does not require any particular space, in particular if the flow channels run only in floors and ceilings.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Figur an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung ein mehrstöckiges Gebäude 1 , in welchem eine Vielzahl von beispielsweise von Rohren oder Rohrstücken gebildeten Strömungskanäle vorgesehen sind, und zwar u.a. die in Böden und Decken 2 des Gebäudes 1 in einer Gebäudelängsrichtung sich erstreckenden Strömungskanäle 3 und die hierzu quer verlaufenden, ebenfalls in Böden oder Decken 2 angeordneten Strömungskanäle 4 sowie auch vertikale Strömungskanäle 4. Diese Strömungskanäle stehen zumindest teilweise miteinander in Verbindung.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the figure using an exemplary embodiment. The figure shows a perspective view of a multi-storey building 1, in which a plurality of flow channels, for example formed by pipes or pipe sections, are provided, namely, among other things. the flow channels 3 extending in floors and ceilings 2 of the building 1 in a longitudinal direction of the building and the flow channels 4 running transversely thereto and also arranged in floors or ceilings 2 as well as vertical flow channels 4. These flow channels are at least partially connected to one another.
Die Strömungskanäle 2 und 3 sind bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform jeweils an einander gegenüberliegenden Gebäudeseiten offen. In den Strömungskanälen 3 - 4 sind Klappen 5 zur Steuerung der Luftströmung sowie auch Generatoren 6 zur Energiegewinnen vorgesehen. Mit den Pfeilen 8 ist die Luftströmung angedeutet. The flow channels 2 and 3 are open on the opposite sides of the building in the embodiment shown. Flaps 5 for controlling the air flow and also generators 6 for gaining energy are provided in the flow channels 3-4. The air flow is indicated by the arrows 8.
