In the outdoor heat exchanger having this configuration, hot and cold heat is discharged into the air.

As described above, energy sources are used independently in conventional living spaces, but in recent years, demand for effective use of energy sources has increased, and heat recovery from hot wastewater such as bathtubs has been studied.
For example, there is a hot water supply hot water supply device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-55332.
FIG. 18 is a configuration diagram showing a hot water supply hot water supply apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-55332. In the figure, reference numeral 81 denotes a heat pump type refrigerator, in which a refrigerant compressor 81a, a hot water supply coil 81b, a decompression device 81c such as a capillary tube, and a heating coil 81d are connected by a pipe 81e to circulate the refrigerant. Further, 82 is a middle water tank, and 83 is a heat storage water tank.

  Since the conventional waste heat recovery system is configured as described above, it is necessary to provide the middle water tank 82. The middle water tank 82 is described as, for example, 400 liters, and there is a problem in that, when this system is introduced in an actual home, the cost for capital investment is greatly increased. That is, in the conventional house, the drainage of the bathtub flows under the house, and the middle water tank 82 for storing the drainage is provided in the basement, for example. Was difficult.

Moreover, the exhaust heat of the electrical equipment that cools the interior of the refrigerator with the refrigerator is dissipated to the surrounding air wastefully, and the heat is not collected and reused. In particular, the refrigerator is in operation all day, and the amount of exhaust heat is equivalent to 23% of the energy consumption in the house. In addition, since the heat dissipated to the surrounding air cannot be reused, the energy consumption increases and the CO ₂ emission increases, which causes a problem of promoting global warming. However, since the refrigerator generates a small amount of heat per unit time, exhaust heat recovery is very difficult and has not been realized.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
Hereinafter, an exhaust heat recovery system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a circuit configuration diagram showing an exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a compressor, 2 is a condenser, 3 is a first heat exchanger, and 4 is a second heat exchanger connected in parallel with the first heat exchanger 3. The compressor 1, the condenser 2, the first heat exchanger 3, and the second heat exchanger 4 are connected by a refrigerant pipe, and the refrigerant is circulated therein to constitute the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5. Further, 6a and 6b are pipe opening / closing means, for example, solenoid valves, and 7a and 7b are throttle means. These throttling means 7a and 7b are means for adjusting the pressure of the refrigerant by, for example, the opening of the valve, and the opening of the valve is changed automatically or controlled by changing the opening of the valve. There are things that change the pressure of the refrigerant. The first heat exchanger 3 is a refrigerant-water heat exchanger for absorbing heat from the bath water. For example, a plate-type heat exchanger directly passes hot water through the refrigerant pipe or a double pipe heat exchanger. For example, a structure for exchanging heat between refrigerant and hot water. Moreover, the 2nd heat exchanger 4 is a refrigerant | coolant-air heat exchanger for absorbing heat from air | atmosphere, for example, is a structure which blows external air to a refrigerant | coolant piping with a fan by a plate fin tube heat exchanger. In the circuit configuration of the refrigerant circuit, the heat exchanger connected to the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 can be switched between the first heat exchanger 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 by the electromagnetic valves 6a and 6b.

Further, 10 is a first water circulation path, 11 is a pump provided in the first water circulation path 10, 12 is a hot water supply unit, 13 is a city water inlet directly connected to a water pipe, 14 is a heat storage tank, for example, a heat storage tank, 15 is A latent heat storage material 16 enclosed in a capsule filled in the heat storage tank 14 is a hot water outlet and an outlet for hot water from the heat storage tank 14. The heat storage tank 14 is filled with a capsule in which a latent heat storage material 15 such as sodium acetate or aluminum alum is enclosed, and water or hot water is circulated around the capsule. The capsule is made of, for example, polypropylene or polyethylene. If the heat is stored in the latent heat storage material 15, for example, water of about 10 ° C. to 20 ° C. flowing into the heat storage tank 14 from the city water inlet 13 flows around the capsule inside the heat storage tank 14, and the latent heat storage material. For example, hot water of about 60 ° C. can be obtained from the hot water supply port 16.
In the condenser 2, the refrigerant and water flow through separate flow paths, and heat exchange is possible with the structure described above. The water circulating through the first water circulation path 10 by the pump 11 receives the heat of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 by the condenser 2 and gives heat to the latent heat storage material 15 when flowing through the heat storage tank 14. The latent heat storage material 15 is a material that stores and dissipates heat by performing a phase change between liquid and solid, and the temperature of heat stored in the heat storage tank 14, that is, the temperature supplied to the hot water supply port 16 differs depending on the solidification temperature. . For example, heat can be stored at a temperature of about 40 ° C. for sodium acetate and about 90 ° C. for aluminum alum. What is necessary is just to heat the water in the condenser 2 according to these latent heat storage materials 15.

  Furthermore, 20 is a second water circulation path through which bathtub water circulates, 21 is a pump provided in the second water circulation path 20, 22 is a bathtub, and 23 is a hot water supply port for supplying hot water. The hot water supplied at the hot water supply port 23 flows in the second water circulation path 20 by the pump 21 after bathing, and is recovered by the first heat exchanger 3 to the refrigeration cycle device 5, and the heat-recovered water is discharged into the drainage section. It drains from 24.

  Hereinafter, the operation | movement which utilizes the waste heat of the bathtub 22 with the hot water supply unit 12 is demonstrated. The electromagnetic valve 6a is opened, the electromagnetic valve 6b is closed, and the first heat exchanger 3 is set in an operating state. The inside of the first heat exchanger 3 has a structure in which refrigerant and water are circulated through separate flow paths and can exchange heat with each other. Heat is transmitted from the bathtub water circulating through the second water circulation path 20 to the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 by the first heat exchanger 3 by the pump 21. Then, the refrigerant which has been given heat and has evaporated through the compressor 1 exchanges heat with the water circulating in the first water circulation path 10 in the condenser 2 as described above, and gives heat to this. In this case, the first heat exchanger 3 is operating as an evaporator.

  When the exhaust heat of bathtub water is recovered as described above, the temperature of the bathtub water gradually decreases. When the temperature of the bath water becomes lower than the temperature of the surrounding air where the second heat exchanger 4 is placed, for example, the temperature of the outside air, it is not necessary to recover the heat. If further heat recovery is performed as it is, the operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 is deteriorated, so the heat exchanger is switched to the second heat exchanger 4 to absorb heat from the outside air. As a specific method, the electromagnetic valve 6a is closed, the electromagnetic valve 6b is opened, and the second heat exchanger 4 is put into an operating state. The blower attached to the second heat exchanger 4 takes in the air in the vicinity where the second heat exchanger 4 is installed, circulates the wind, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant. The refrigerant is given heat by exchanging heat with air, and exchanges heat with water circulating through the first water circulation path 10 through the compressor 1 and in the condenser 2 as described above. At this time, the second heat exchanger 4 operates as an evaporator.

  In addition, it is desirable to operate the exhaust heat recovery operation of the bathtub water within a day from about 1 am to about 6 am when the family bathing ends. However, assuming a general household bathtub, if the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 is selected to an appropriate size, heat is recovered in about 2 hours, and the temperature of the bathtub water drops from about 35 ° C. to about 10 ° C. It becomes lower than the temperature. For this reason, when the temperature of bathtub water falls below the temperature of external air, it switches to the 2nd heat exchanger 4, and normal heat | energy storage operation is performed until the heat required for the heat storage tank 14 is stored. In addition, this normal heat storage operation can also reduce the operation cost when the nighttime electricity rate is low.

Hereinafter, an example of operation control of the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure of operation control of the exhaust heat recovery system. The heat storage tank 14 is full in the morning, hot water in the interior is discharged from the hot water outlet 16 according to the daily hot water load, and city water is supplied from the city water outlet for the reduced amount of hot water. Hot water heating that boils hot water and supplies hot water to the heat storage tank 14 is performed from a predetermined time zone, for example, from 23:00, which is a midnight power time zone, to 7:00 the next morning. Here, a state where heat is stored in the heat storage tank 14 almost at the maximum, or a state where a sufficient amount of heat is stored in consideration of the heat utilization target in the operation of the exhaust heat recovery system is referred to as full storage.
After the start (START), the temperature of the outside air and the temperature of the bath water are detected at ST1. As detection means for detecting the temperature of the bath water, for example, a temperature sensor is provided in the second water circulation path 20 to detect the temperature of the circulating water. Moreover, as a detection means for detecting the temperature of the outside air, for example, a temperature sensor is provided on the side surface of the second heat exchanger 4 to detect the temperature of the outside air. In ST2, it is determined whether or not the amount of heat stored in the heat storage tank 14 is full, and if it is full, the process ends (END). Whether the heat storage tank 14 is fully stored can be determined, for example, by detecting the temperature of the lower water in which the cold water in the heat storage tank 14 accumulates. When the detected temperature of the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 is lower than a preset heat storage temperature, for example, about 60 ° C., it is determined that the heat storage amount of the heat storage tank 14 is not yet fully stored, and the time is preset in ST3. Determine if it is a late-night power hour. When the time is not between 23:00 and 7:00, that is, when the power is not in the late-night power period, the bath water exhaust heat recovery operation and the normal heat storage operation are not performed (END).

If it is determined in ST3 that it is a late-night power period, it is determined in ST4 whether the time is a predetermined time, for example, between 1 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Even in the late-night power time zone, if it is not between 1 o'clock and 6 o'clock, the family may take a bath, and the exhaust heat recovery operation of the bathtub water is not performed, but the normal heat storage operation is performed. Since the predetermined time varies depending on the family structure, life pattern, and the like, it may be set variably. For example, if it is configured such that a trader who sets up the exhaust heat recovery system or a resident who uses the exhaust heat recovery system can arbitrarily change the above-mentioned time zone, it becomes easy to use.
Next, in ST5, the temperature of the bathtub water is compared with the temperature of the outside air. As a result of the comparison, when the temperature of the bathtub water is higher than the temperature of the outside air, an exhaust heat recovery operation of the bathtub water is performed in ST6. This is an operation in which the first heat exchanger 3 that is a refrigerant-water heat exchanger is operated to recover heat from the bath water and store it in the heat storage tank 14 as hot water for hot water supply. Moreover, when the temperature of bathtub water is lower than the temperature of external air, a normal heat storage operation is performed in ST7. This is an operation in which the second heat exchanger 4, which is a refrigerant-air heat exchanger, is operated to absorb heat from outside air and boil it. In ST6 and ST7, the solenoid valves 6a and 6b are switched for each operation to form a refrigerant circuit, and in the case of the normal heat storage operation of ST7, in addition to this, the blower of the second heat exchanger 4 is put into an operation state and finished. (END). This operation control is executed at regular time intervals, for example, at 1 minute intervals.

  By performing such operation control, when the temperature of the bath water is high, the exhaust heat of the bath water is recovered, and when the temperature of the bath water decreases, the operation is switched to the normal heat storage operation. It is possible to prevent the operating efficiency of the vehicle from decreasing.

In the above operation control, in ST5, the temperature of the bath water is compared with the temperature of the outside air, and the exhaust heat recovery operation and the normal heat storage operation are switched according to the result. The temperature-(2 ° C. or 1 ° C.)} may be compared, and the bath water exhaust heat recovery operation may be performed until the temperature of the bath water is about 1 ° C. or 2 ° C. lower than the temperature of the outside air. This is because the heat exchange performance of water is better than the heat exchange performance of air. However, if the temperature of the outside air is too low and the temperature of the refrigerant in the exhaust heat recovery operation may be 0 ° C. or less, the normal heat storage operation is performed in ST7 even if the temperature of the bathtub water is higher than the temperature of the outside air. It is desirable to do it.
In addition, the wastewater recovery operation and the normal heat storage operation are performed using the power from 23:00 to 7:00, which is a low-rate midnight power time zone. This is due to the circumstances of the company, and the time zone from 23:00 to 7:00 is not limited to this. For example, even if the same amount of power is used, the CO ₂ emission varies depending on the time zone and season. This is because it depends on what kind of means such as thermal power, hydropower and nuclear power is used to generate electricity. CO ₂
When it is desired to reduce the emission amount, the time zone for performing the exhaust heat recovery operation and the normal heat storage operation may be set to a time zone where the CO ₂ emission amount is small.

  Moreover, although the temperature of the circulating water of the 2nd water circulation path 20 is detected as a temperature detection means of bathtub water, it is not restricted to this. For example, instead of installing a temperature sensor in the bathtub and detecting the temperature at regular time intervals, or instead of actually detecting the temperature at regular time intervals, the temperature of the bathtub water at the start of the exhaust heat recovery operation and the elapsed time from the start Based on this, the current bath water temperature may be detected by calculation.

The internal energy used for hot water supply from bathtub water is represented by Formula (1).
△ Q = Qbath1-Qbath2 (1)

However,
Qbath1 = ρ (Tbath1) × Cp (Tbath1) × Vbath1 × Tbath1

Qbath2 = ρ (Tbath2) × Cp (Tbath2) × Vbath2 × Tbath2

bath1: Subscript indicating the start of exhaust heat recovery operation
bath2: Subscript indicating the end of exhaust heat recovery operation Tbath: Bath water temperature (K)
Qbath: Bath water internal energy (kcal)
ρ (Tbath): Bath water density (Tbath function) (kg / m ³ )
Cp (Tbath): Bath water constant pressure specific heat (Tbath function) (kcal / kg · K)

Vbath: Bathtub water volume (m ³ )
It is.

In this Embodiment, there exists an effect which can collect | recover the temperature heat of the bath water normally thrown away, and can reuse in the hot water supply system 12, and the calorie | heat amount collect | recovered by the thermal storage tank 14 at this time is calculated by Formula (1). .
Actually, according to a trial calculation, the energy required to store a certain amount of heat in the heat storage tank 14 can be reduced by about 12% compared to the case where exhaust heat is not recovered. Therefore, by collecting exhaust heat and reusing it for hot water supply or air conditioning, energy consumption and CO ₂ emission in a house or the like can be reduced and global warming can be prevented.
In particular, unlike conventional bath water recovery systems, there is no need to provide a storage tank in the basement, and it is only necessary to circulate the bath water using a bath water circulation hole provided in a normal bath. Can be easily applied to ordinary households.
Moreover, it is possible to prevent the operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 from deteriorating by providing the second heat exchanger 4 and switching to this when the bath water cools down from the outside air and the need for heat recovery is eliminated. There is an effect that can be done.

  In addition, since the heat storage tank 14 is filled with the latent heat storage material 15, hot water having a constant temperature can always be obtained from the hot water outlet 16. Moreover, compared with the case where the inside of the heat storage tank 14 is filled with only water, the size of the hot water supply tank 14 can be reduced to, for example, about half the capacity. Therefore, the space can be greatly reduced, and even when it is provided in a general household, there is no restriction on the place of placement, and it can be easily applied.

In the above, since the switching between the first heat exchanger 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 is switched according to the temperature of the bath water and the outside air, an exhaust heat recovery system with good operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 is obtained. Yes. Moreover, the operation start time of the first heat exchanger 3, the operation end time of the first heat exchanger 3, the operation start time of the second heat exchanger 4, and the operation end time of the second heat exchanger 4 can be set. If it is configured in such a manner that it can be set in accordance with the usage situation of the place where it is applied, the exhaust heat recovery system can be applied to places of various situations.
In addition, one of the first and second heat exchangers 3 and 4 is not always operated so that either one may be stopped, or both may be operated.
Also, if you set the driving time zone and control to drive during this set time zone, you can use low-cost late-night power hours, drive away from peak power hours, Accordingly, it is possible to obtain an energy saving effect at low cost without causing any trouble in use of other electric devices, and an easy-to-use exhaust heat recovery system can be obtained.

Further, in the first water circulation path 10, the water below the heat storage tank 14 is taken out, supplied with warm heat, and circulated so as to return to the upper side of the heat storage tank 14, but is not limited thereto. For example, you may comprise with what is called a convection-type heat storage tank which takes out water from the downward direction of a thermal storage tank, supplies warm heat, and returns it to the downward direction of a thermal storage tank. In this case, the water outlet and the water outlet are isolated inside, so that convection easily occurs. This convection makes the temperature of the water in the heat storage tank uniform. Depending on the exhaust heat recovery system, it may be better to have temperature stratification in the heat storage tank, or a uniform temperature may be better, and an appropriate one should be incorporated.
In the above description, the heat of the bathtub 22 is recovered. However, for example, warm drainage from the shower is temporarily stored in a tank, and the heat is recovered. You may comprise so that waste_water | drain can be stored together in a tank. In this case, a tank for collecting some drainage from the shower is required, but it is also possible to collect the hot heat of the shower that has been frequently used and discarded in recent years.
Moreover, in this Embodiment, although it comprises so that the hot waste heat of a bathtub may be utilized for the hot water supply unit 12, for example as a warm water utilization means, the means using warm water is not restricted to this, For air-conditioning use Any other means may be used.

FIG. 3 is a circuit configuration diagram showing the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 31 denotes a first bypass circuit, which is a circuit for allowing the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 to flow into the first heat exchanger 3.

For example, an electromagnetic valve 32b is a pipe opening / closing means provided downstream of the branch point to the second bypass circuit 32 in the refrigerant pipe from the second heat exchanger 4 to the compressor 1, for example, an electromagnetic valve. Here, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same or corresponding parts.

In the present embodiment, the operation of operating the first heat exchanger 3 as an evaporator, recovering the exhaust heat of the bathtub water by the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5, and storing the heat in the heat storage tank 14 is performed. This is the same as the first embodiment. That is, in the exhaust heat recovery operation for recovering the temperature of the bath water, the solenoid valves 33, 6a, 31b are opened, the solenoid valves 31a, 6b, 32b are closed, and the compressor 1 → the solenoid valve 33 → the condenser 2 → the solenoid valve 6a. → throttle means 7a → first heat exchanger 3 → solenoid valve 31b → refrigerant is circulated in the compressor 1, evaporated in the first heat exchanger 3, condensed in the condenser 2, and condensed heat is stored in the heat storage tank 14. To do.
Similarly, the operation of operating the second heat exchanger 4 as an evaporator and storing the heat in the heat storage tank 14 with the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 is the same as that of the first embodiment. That is, in the heat storage operation for storing the heat absorbed from the outside air, the electromagnetic valves 33, 6b, 32b are opened, the electromagnetic valves 6a, 32a are closed, and the compressor 1, the electromagnetic valve 33, the condenser 2, the electromagnetic valve 6b, and the throttle are closed. The refrigerant is circulated in the means 7b → second heat exchanger 4 → solenoid valve 32b → compressor 1, evaporated in the second heat exchanger 4, condensed in the condenser 2, and condensed heat is stored in the heat storage tank 14.

Thus, in this Embodiment, it is comprised so that the waste heat of the bathtub 22 may be utilized with the hot water supply system 12 similarly to Embodiment 1, and there exists an effect which can collect | recover the warm heat | fever normally thrown away. According to the trial calculation, the energy required to store a certain amount of heat in the heat storage tank 14 can be reduced by about 12% compared to the case where the exhaust heat is not recovered.
Moreover, it can prevent that the efficiency of the refrigerating-cycle apparatus 5 deteriorates by providing the 2nd heat exchanger 4 and switching to this when the bath water cools rather than external air and the necessity of heat recovery is lost. effective.

The heat storage tank 14 does not necessarily need to be filled with the latent heat storage material 15, and is configured to store only water as in a normal hot water tank, and this water is circulated through the first circulation path 10 to You may store heat by doing.
However, if the heat storage tank 14 is filled with the latent heat storage material 15, hot water having a constant temperature can be obtained from the hot water supply port 16. When it is used for water, it is easy to use because it can be obtained at a constant temperature. Furthermore, when filled with the latent heat storage material 15, compared with the case where the inside of the heat storage tank 14 is filled only with water, the magnitude | size of the hot water supply tank 14 can be made small, for example to about a half capacity | capacitance.

In the present embodiment, a first bypass circuit 31 and a second bypass circuit 32 are further provided.
First, the function of the first bypass circuit 31 will be described. When operating the first bypass circuit 31, the solenoid valves 6a, 6b, 31a, and 32b are opened, the solenoid valves 33, 31b, and 32a are closed, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 1 is passed through the first bypass circuit 31 and the solenoid valve 31a. And is introduced into the first heat exchanger 3 for condensation. At the same time, the pump 21 is operated to circulate bathtub water in the second water circulation path 20. In the 1st heat exchanger 3, this bathtub water and the refrigerant | coolant which distribute | circulates the refrigerating-cycle apparatus 5 heat-exchange, and the temperature of bathtub water rises with the condensation heat of a refrigerant | coolant.
Thereafter, the condensed refrigerant passes through the throttle means 7a and the electromagnetic valves 6a and 6b, which are fully opened, is decompressed and expanded by the throttle means 7b, evaporates in the second heat exchanger 4, and is compressed from the electromagnetic valve 32b to the compressor. Return to 1.
That is, by providing the first bypass circuit 31, it is possible to perform an operation of supplying hot water to the bathtub water, and for example, it is possible to recharge the bathtub water. In this case, the first heat exchanger 3 operates as a condenser, and the second heat exchanger 4 operates as an evaporator.

Next, the function of the second bypass circuit 32 will be described. When operating the second bypass circuit 32, the solenoid valves 6a, 6b, 31b, 32a are opened, the solenoid valves 33, 31a, 32b are closed, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 1 is passed through the second bypass circuit 32, the solenoid valve 32a. And is introduced into the second heat exchanger 4 for condensation. Here, after exchanging heat with air and dissipating heat to the atmosphere, it passes through the throttle means 7b and the solenoid valves 6b, 6a that are fully opened, is decompressed and expanded by the throttle means 7a, and then evaporates in the first heat exchanger 3. Then, the electromagnetic valve 31b returns to the compressor 1.
In this case, the second heat exchanger 4 operates as a condenser, and the first heat exchanger 3 operates as an evaporator. In this configuration, the first heat exchanger 3 cools the bathtub water, and the bathtub water is heated. When it is too long, it can be cooled to adjust the temperature, and the temperature of the bath water can be adjusted without newly adding cold water. For example, when it is a water cooler instead of bathtub water, the 2nd bypass circuit 32 becomes effective.

Further, FIG. 4 shows a circuit configuration for storing hot or cold heat in a tank for use in, for example, cooling / heating air conditioning or the like by using the first bypass circuit 31 and the second bypass circuit 32 provided in FIG. It is shown.
In the figure, reference numeral 34 denotes a heat exchanger, which is connected to the discharge side and the suction side of the compressor 1 constituting the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5, the first heat exchanger 3, and the second heat exchanger 4 by refrigerant piping. Reference numerals 35a, 35b and 35c denote pipe opening / closing means, solenoid valves, and 36, a throttle means. The electromagnetic valve 35a is provided in a pipe connecting the heat exchanger 34 and the discharge side of the compressor 1, and opens and closes this pipe. The electromagnetic valve 35b is provided in a pipe connecting the heat exchanger 34 and the suction side of the compressor 1, and opens and closes this pipe. The electromagnetic valve 35c is provided in a pipe connecting the heat exchanger 34 and the first and second heat exchangers, and opens and closes this pipe. A water circulation path 37 connects the heat exchanger 34 and the tank 38, and has a pump. The water circulating in the water circulation path 37 exchanges heat with the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 by the heat exchanger 34. The tank 38 is configured to be able to exchange heat with water and refrigerant circulating in the inside, and the stored heat and cold can be used in a cooling / heating air conditioner, a panel heater, and the like.

In order to store cold or warm heat in the tank 38, water is circulated by a pump provided in the water circulation path 37, and heat exchange is performed with the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 by the heat exchanger 34. Stores heat.
When heat is stored in the tank 38 with cold water, the heat exchanger 34 is operated as an evaporator, and the first heat exchanger 3 or the second heat exchanger 4 is operated as a condenser.
For example, when the first heat exchanger 3 is operated, the electromagnetic valves 31a, 6a, 35c, and 35b are opened, and the electromagnetic valves 33, 32a, 31b, 6b, 35a, and 32b are closed. The flow of the refrigerant is as follows: compressor 1 → first bypass circuit 31 → electromagnetic valve 31a → first heat exchanger 3 → throttle means 7a in a fully opened state → electromagnetic valve 6a → electromagnetic valve 35c → throttle means 36 having a pressure reducing function. → Heat exchanger 34 → Solenoid valve 35 b → Compressor 1
For example, when the second heat exchanger 4 is operated, the electromagnetic valves 32a, 6b, 35c, and 35b are opened, and the electromagnetic valves 33, 32b, 6a, 35a, and 32b are closed. The flow of the refrigerant is as follows: compressor 1 → second bypass circuit 32 → electromagnetic valve 32a → second heat exchanger 4 → throttle means 7b fully opened → electromagnetic valve 6b → electromagnetic valve 35c → throttle means 36 having a pressure reducing function. → Heat exchanger 34 → Solenoid valve 35 b → Compressor 1

Further, when storing heat in the tank 38 with hot water, the heat exchanger 34 is operated as a condenser, and the first heat exchanger 3 or the second heat exchanger 4 is operated as an evaporator.
For example, when the first heat exchanger 3 is operated, the electromagnetic valves 35a, 35c, 6a, 31b are opened, and the electromagnetic valves 33, 35b, 6b, 31a, 32b are closed. The flow of the refrigerant is as follows: compressor 1 → electromagnetic valve 35a → heat exchanger 34 → throttle means 36 in a fully opened state → electromagnetic valve 35c → electromagnetic valve 6a → throttle means 7a having a pressure reducing function → first heat exchanger 3 → Solenoid valve 31b → compressor 1
For example, when the second heat exchanger 4 is operated, the electromagnetic valves 35a, 35c, 6b, and 32b are opened, and the electromagnetic valves 33, 35b, 6a, 32a, and 31b are closed. The flow of the refrigerant is as follows: compressor 1 → electromagnetic valve 35a → heat exchanger 34 → full throttle state 36 → electromagnetic valve 35c → electromagnetic valve 6b → throttle means 7b having a pressure reducing function → second heat exchanger 4 → Solenoid valve 32b → compressor 1

  Thus, by providing the 1st bypass circuit 31 and the 2nd bypass circuit 32, it becomes possible to operate the 1st, 2nd heat exchangers 3 and 4 as a condenser or an evaporator as needed, and heat An exhaust heat recovery system that can use energy in various ways is obtained. In particular, if the refrigeration cycle apparatus is configured so that the first heat exchanger 3 operates as a condenser, the bath water can be replenished, so that an exhaust heat recovery system that is easy to use in a general household can be configured. .

In the above description, if the switching between the first heat exchanger 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 is controlled in accordance with the temperature of the bath water and the outside air, the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 is discharged without reducing the operation efficiency. A system that can recover heat is obtained. Moreover, the operation start time of the first heat exchanger 3, the operation end time of the first heat exchanger 3, the operation start time of the second heat exchanger 4, and the operation end time of the second heat exchanger 4 can be set. If it is configured in such a manner that it can be set in accordance with the usage situation of the place where it is applied, the exhaust heat recovery system can be applied to places of various situations.
Also, if you set the driving time zone and control to drive during this set time zone, you can use low-cost late-night power hours, drive away from peak power hours, The system can be operated in accordance with the energy saving effect at low cost, and an easy-to-use exhaust heat recovery system can be obtained.

  However, in the present embodiment, the first bypass circuit 31 and the second bypass circuit 32 are both provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and either one may be used as necessary. For example, when it is necessary to reheat the bath water, an exhaust heat recovery system including the first bypass circuit 31 is configured, and the second heat exchanger 4 is used as an outdoor unit of a cooling / heating device. What is necessary is just to comprise the waste heat recovery system provided with the 2nd bypass circuit 32. FIG.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
Hereinafter, an exhaust heat recovery system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. The present embodiment relates to a system for recovering exhaust heat from a refrigerator, for example, as a cooling device. The refrigerator-freezer keeps the freezing room cooled at, for example, about −5 ° C. and the refrigerating room at, for example, about 5 ° C., and is normally in operation for 24 hours. The exhaust heat generated in this refrigerator is recovered. A feature of exhaust heat generated in a refrigerator is that although the amount of heat per unit time is small, it may be generated for almost 24 hours.

  FIG. 5 is a circuit configuration diagram showing the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 40 denotes a third water circulation path, and the water circulating through the third water circulation path is configured to circulate around the capsule in which the latent heat storage material 15 filled in the heat storage tank 14 is stored. Further, 41 is a pump provided in the third water circulation path 40, 42 is a compressor, 43 is a first condenser, 44 is a second condenser connected in parallel with the first condenser 43, 45 is an evaporator, 46 Is a throttle means, and 47 is a cooling space, for example, a freezing room and a refrigerating room. 48a and 48b are pipe opening / closing means, for example, electromagnetic valves. The compressor 42, the 1st condenser 43, the 2nd condenser 44, and the evaporator 45 are connected by refrigerant | coolant piping, the refrigerant | coolant is distribute | circulated inside and the refrigeration cycle apparatus 49 for cooling devices is comprised. The refrigeration cycle device 49 is usually arranged in the installation space of the refrigerator-freezer.

  The first condenser 43 is a refrigerant-water heat exchanger for recovering exhaust heat generated by cooling the freezer and refrigerator compartments 47, and the second condenser 44 is heat and ambient air in which it is placed. It is a refrigerant-air heat exchanger to be exchanged. The condensers connected to the refrigeration cycle device 49 can be switched between the first condenser 43 and the second condenser 44 by the electromagnetic valves 48a and 48b. Here, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same or corresponding parts.

Hereinafter, the operation | movement which utilizes the waste heat from the refrigerating-cycle apparatus 49 used with a refrigerator with the hot water supply unit 12 is demonstrated. The electromagnetic valve 48a is opened, the electromagnetic valve 48b is closed, and the first condenser 43 is in an operating state. The interior of the first condenser 43 has a structure in which the refrigerant that circulates in the refrigeration cycle device 49 and the water that circulates in the third water circulation path 40 circulate in separate flow paths and can exchange heat with each other.
The refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle device 49 is evaporated and vaporized by the evaporator 45 to cool the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment 47. Then, the evaporated refrigerant exchanges heat with water circulating through the third water circulation path 40 by the first condenser 43 through the compressor 42, and gives heat to this. This warm heat is stored in the heat storage tank 14.

  Further, when the temperature of the water circulating in the third water circulation path 40 becomes higher than the temperature of the air around the second condenser 44 which is the temperature in the installation space of the refrigerator-freezer, the first condenser 3 exhausts so much heat. If the operation is continued as it is, the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle device 49 is deteriorated and a large amount of electric power is required. Therefore, the exhaust heat recovery operation is stopped, the electromagnetic valve 48a is closed, the electromagnetic valve 48b is opened, and the second condenser 44 is operated. As a result, the exhaust heat is dissipated by exchanging heat with the surrounding air. However, the control for switching the first and second condensers 43 and 44 by detecting the temperature of the water circulating in the third water circulation path 40 is complicated, and may be switched over time. For example, in the morning when hot water is used frequently, the heat storage tank 14 is replenished with cold water, so it is necessary to store heat. When the hot water is not used at night, sufficient heat is stored in the heat storage tank 14. Thus, the first condenser 43 may be operated at 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock, and may be switched at a fixed time such as being fixed to the second condenser 44 at 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock, which is the other time. Even in this case, a sufficient energy saving effect can be obtained throughout the year, and the control becomes simpler than the configuration in which the water temperature is detected and switched.

Thus, in this Embodiment, it has comprised so that the waste heat of a freezer refrigerator may be utilized with the hot-water supply system 12, and there exists an effect which can collect | recover the warm heat normally thrown away. According to the trial calculation, the energy required to store a certain amount of heat in the heat storage tank 14 can be reduced by about 8% compared to the case where the exhaust heat is not recovered. Furthermore, by exchanging heat between the cold water circulating through the third water circulation path 40 and the refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration cycle apparatus 49, the temperature difference between the refrigerants can be reduced, so that the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 49 can also be improved.
In addition, when the second condenser 44 is provided and the temperature of the water becomes higher than that of the surrounding air and there is no need for heat recovery, switching to this and stopping the exhaust heat recovery operation, the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle device 49 is improved. There is an effect that can prevent deterioration.

The heat storage tank 14 does not necessarily need to be filled with the latent heat storage material 15, but may be configured to store water, and heat may be stored by circulating the water through the first circulation path 10 to form hot water. .
However, if the heat storage tank 14 is filled with the latent heat storage material 15, hot water having a constant temperature can be obtained from the hot water supply port 16, and warm water that is comfortable to use can be obtained when used for a shower or the like. Moreover, when filled with the latent heat storage material 15, compared with the case where the inside of the heat storage tank 14 is filled only with water, the magnitude | size of the hot water supply tank 14 can be made small, for example to about a half capacity | capacitance.

  Further, the water outlet and the water inlet of the third water circulation path 40 in the heat storage tank 14 are both provided in the lower part, and the water in the heat storage tank 14 has a temperature distribution in which the upper water is warm and the lower water is cold. For this reason, if the water outlet to the 3rd circulation way 40 is provided below, cold water can be circulated to the 1st condenser 43, and the efficiency of refrigeration cycle device 49 can further be improved. Moreover, if the water inlet from the 3rd circulation path 40 is provided upwards, a convection will arise in the thermal storage tank 14, and upper warm water will mix with cold water below. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the water inlet is provided below, convection is prevented and heat is given to the cold water below, so that the recovered exhaust heat can be efficiently used for hot water supply. In this way, an exhaust heat recovery system that can be efficiently used as an auxiliary heat source is obtained even if the exhaust heat from the first condenser 43 is very small.

  In the exhaust heat recovery system as shown in FIG. 5, the exhaust heat recovery from the refrigerator-freezer can warm the tap water to about 30 ° C. When trying to obtain hot water having a temperature higher than this by the hot water supply system 12, a circulation path for circulating the water in the heat storage tank 14 may be configured, and the water may be heated by, for example, gas.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of operation control of the exhaust heat recovery system. Thermal stratification is formed inside the heat storage tank 14, and warm water is distributed in the upper part and cold water is distributed in the lower part. Since the amount of heat per unit time is small in the exhaust heat of the refrigerator, cold water in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 is circulated to the refrigerator side, and the exhaust heat from the refrigerator is recovered as an auxiliary heat source and heated to about 30 ° C. It is desirable to use it. For example, at ST10, the circulating water temperature at the lower part of the heat storage tank 14, the room temperature, and the amount of cold water at the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 are detected by the detection means. The means for detecting the circulating water temperature at the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 may be, for example, a temperature sensor and may be provided at the lower part in the heat storage tank 14 to detect the temperature of the circulating water at the lower part of the heat storage tank 14. You may provide in the exit part to the path 40, and may detect the temperature of circulating water. To be precise, the room temperature is the temperature of the air sucked for heat exchange in the second condenser 44. Here, the room temperature of the installation space is assumed to be the same as the temperature of the space where the refrigerator is installed. To detect. This can be detected by a temperature sensor provided in the installation space of the refrigerator-freezer or a temperature sensor provided on the side surface of the second condenser. As a detecting means for detecting the amount of cold water in the heat storage tank 14, for example, there is a method in which one or more temperature sensors are inserted in the vertical direction in the heat storage tank 14 and the amount of cold water is detected based on the detected temperature. The detecting means for detecting the amount of cold water in the heat storage tank 14 is not limited to this. For example, a float made of a substance having a density between the hot water and the cold water in the heat storage tank 14 is enclosed. There is a method of detecting the position by a magnetostrictive position detection sensor. In this method, if the position detection sensor is disposed in the heat storage tank 14, the float is positioned between the cold water and the hot water. Therefore, the cold water in the heat storage tank 14 is detected by detecting the position. The amount can be detected. However, in this case, it is assumed that an element that generates magnetic force such as a magnet is enclosed in the float. The magnetostrictive position detection sensor may be attached to the outer wall surface of the heat storage tank 14 when the heat storage tank 14 is not made of metal.

  Next, in ST11, it is determined whether or not 10% of the tank lower water temperature <room temperature and tank lower cold water amount> is satisfied. If this condition is satisfied, the exhaust heat recovery operation of the refrigerator is performed in ST12. If the above condition is not satisfied, the exhaust heat recovery operation of the refrigerator is not performed (END). This operation control is executed at regular time intervals, for example, at 1 minute intervals.

  Since the refrigerant condensing side of the refrigerator is also cooled by the cold water circulating through the third water circulation path 40, the refrigerator itself can also save energy. However, the exhaust heat recovery of this refrigerator cannot be expected unless the temperature of the circulating water is cold. For this reason, the conditions as in ST11 are provided, and when the tank lower water temperature ≧ room temperature, control is performed so that the exhaust heat recovery of the refrigerator in ST12 is not performed. Actually, when the water temperature in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 is lower than the room temperature, the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator is operated by the electromagnetic valves 48a and 48b so that the first radiator 43, which is a water-refrigerant heat exchanger, radiates heat from the refrigerator. When the water temperature in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 becomes higher than room temperature, the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator is connected by the electromagnetic valves 48a and 48b so that the heat release of the refrigerator is performed by the second condenser 44 which is a water-air heat exchanger. In addition to switching, the blower of the second condenser 44 is put into an operating state, and the exhaust heat recovery operation of the refrigerator is stopped.

The circulating water outlet from the heat storage tank 14 is at the bottom, and the hot water in the heat storage tank 14 is not circulated to the refrigerator side. When the hot water circulates to the refrigerator side, the condensation pressure in the first condenser 3 increases, and the cooling capacity in the evaporator 45 decreases. In order to prevent this, here, a judgment is made such that the amount of cold water in the tank lower part <10% of the whole. That is, when the amount of cold water in the heat storage tank 14 is less than about 10% of the total, the exhaust heat recovery operation of the refrigerator is stopped. Here, the operation of each device is changed to stop the exhaust heat recovery operation. Considering the delay in the operation of each device, if the amount of chilled water falls below about 10%, the exhaust heat recovery The operation stops. For this reason, it can prevent reliably that warm water flows in into the 3rd water circulation path 40, and a reliable exhaust heat recovery system is obtained, without reducing the operating efficiency of a refrigerator. Here, the amount of cold water in the heat storage tank 14 is detected as the amount of cold water that is not sufficiently supplied with heat among the water circulating in the heat storage tank 14, and is, for example, about 25 ° C. or less. Is the amount.
Thus, when the exhaust heat from the refrigerator / freezer that has been operating continuously for approximately 24 hours can be recovered, that is, when the determination at ST11 is YES, the cold water in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 is removed. By preheating, exhaust heat can be used effectively.

Hereinafter, the heat generation amount of the refrigerator will be described. The amount of heat generated from the refrigerator can be simply calculated by equation (2). Since it is difficult to specify the load of the refrigerator, the power consumption of the refrigerator is handled as being proportional to the pressure ratio.
Wra = Wref.times. {Fps (Ttank + .DELTA.T2) -fps (Tref)}

/ {Fps (Troom + ΔT1) −fps (Tref)} (2)

Troom, Tref: Room temperature, refrigerator cabinet temperature [° C]
Ttank: Cold water temperature at the bottom of the heat storage tank [℃]
ΔT1: temperature difference or logarithm average temperature difference between air and refrigerant [deg]
ΔT2: Temperature difference or logarithm average temperature difference between water and refrigerant [deg]
Wra, Wref: Refrigerator power consumption [W], Refrigerator rated power consumption [W]

fps (): Function that calculates the refrigerant saturation pressure from the temperature

In this Embodiment, the exhaust heat of the refrigerator represented by Formula (2) can be collect | recovered, for example, can be utilized for the preheating of hot water supply water.
Furthermore, on the refrigerator side, if cold water is used on the refrigerant condensing side of the refrigerator, the heat exchange performance is better and the temperature is lower than when cooling with air, so the condensing pressure of the refrigerant decreases. At this time, the evaporating pressure of the refrigerant also decreases, but the pressure ratio decreases because the amount by which the condensing pressure decreases is larger. From this, the power consumption can be reduced by exchanging heat with cold water in the first condenser 43.
Moreover, since the power consumption of a refrigerator can be estimated simply by Formula (2), you may construct | assemble control using this, for example so that the power consumption of a refrigerator may become the minimum.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 for hot water supply as described in the first embodiment and the first water circulation path 10 are provided, and when it is desired to obtain hot water having a temperature of about 30 ° C. or higher, this refrigeration cycle is used. When the apparatus 5 is operated, hot water can be reliably supplied from the hot water supply port 16 at an arbitrary temperature. Specifically, the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 and the first water circulation path 10 as shown in FIG. 7 are provided, and the refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 and the water circulating through the first water circulation path 10 are heat-exchanged by the condenser 2. To do. At this time, the third water circulation path 40 functions as an auxiliary heat source that raises the cold water in the heat storage tank 14 by, for example, about several degrees Celsius, and this preheating reduces the heating load in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 and reduces the amount of energy. it can.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, if the bathtub water exhaust heat recovery function in the first embodiment is provided, a more efficient exhaust heat recovery system can be obtained. Hereinafter, an example of operation control of the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation control procedure of the exhaust heat recovery system shown in FIG. 8, and is a combination of FIG. 2 and FIG.

After the start (START), the temperature of the outside air and the temperature of the bathtub water are detected in ST1, the circulating water temperature and the room temperature in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 are detected by a temperature sensor in ST10, and the amount of cold water in the heat storage tank 14 is detected. In ST11, it is determined whether or not 10% of the tank lower water temperature <room temperature and tank lower cold water amount> is satisfied. If this condition is satisfied, the first condenser 43 is operated in ST12 to perform the exhaust heat recovery operation of the refrigerator-freezer. If the above condition is not satisfied, the exhaust heat recovery operation of the refrigerator-freezer is performed. Do not do. The refrigerator operates the second condenser 44 to perform a normal cooling operation.
Next, in ST2, it is determined whether or not the amount of heat stored in the heat storage tank 14 is full, and if it is full, the process ends (END). If the amount of heat stored in the heat storage tank 14 is not yet fully stored, it is determined in ST3 whether the time is in the midnight power time zone. When the time is not between 23:00 and 7:00, that is, when the power is not in the late-night power time period, the exhaust heat recovery operation and the normal heat storage operation are not performed (END).

If it is determined in ST3 that it is a late-night power period, it is determined in ST4 whether the time is a predetermined time, for example, between 1 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Even in the late-night power time zone, if it is not between 1 o'clock and 6 o'clock, the family may take a bath, and the exhaust heat recovery operation of the bathtub water is not performed, but the normal heat storage operation is performed. Since the predetermined time varies depending on the family structure, life pattern, and the like, it may be set variably.
Next, in ST5, the temperature of the bathtub water is compared with the temperature of the outside air. As a result of the comparison, when the temperature of the bathtub water is higher than the temperature of the outside air, an exhaust heat recovery operation of the bathtub water is performed in ST6. This is an operation in which the first heat exchanger 3 that is a refrigerant-water heat exchanger is operated to recover heat from the bath water and store it in the heat storage tank 14 as hot water for hot water supply. Moreover, when the temperature of bathtub water is lower than the temperature of external air, a normal heat storage operation is performed in ST7. This is an operation in which the second heat exchanger 4, which is a refrigerant-air heat exchanger, is operated to absorb heat from outside air and boil it. In ST6 and ST7, the refrigerant circuit and the blower are set in an operation state corresponding to each operation, and the process ends (END). This operation control is executed at regular time intervals, for example, at 1 minute intervals.

  By performing such operation control, when the temperature of the bath water is high, the exhaust heat of the bath water is recovered, and when the temperature of the bath water decreases, the operation is switched to the normal heat storage operation. It is possible to prevent the operating efficiency of the vehicle from decreasing. In addition, since the power consumption in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 5 is determined by the temperature difference between the boiling water temperature and the water in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14, the temperature difference is reduced when the exhaust heat recovery of the refrigerator is performed. Power consumption can be reduced accordingly. Moreover, since the refrigerant | coolant condensing side of a refrigerator is also cooled with cold water, it also becomes energy saving of refrigerator itself.

  In the above, the temperature of the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 is detected, the amount of cold water in the lower part of the heat storage tank 14 is detected, and the water temperature in the lower part of the tank <the temperature in the refrigerator installation space (room temperature) and the amount of cold water in the lower part of the tank> When 10% of the total is satisfied, the exhaust heat of the refrigerator is recovered. In order to make this determination, the detection of the water temperature at the bottom of the tank and the detection of the amount of cold water in the tank are detected by separate detection means, but one temperature detection means is slightly more than 10% from the bottom of the heat storage tank 14. The upper water temperature may be detected. When the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means is within a preset cold water temperature range, the cold water is 10% or more of the tank, and the detected temperature is the temperature of the cold water. For this reason, the detected cold water temperature and room temperature are compared, and refrigerator exhaust heat recovery control is performed according to the comparison result. When the detected temperature is higher than the preset cold water temperature range, it can be detected that the amount of cold water in the tank has become 10% or less, and the refrigerator exhaust heat recovery is not performed. Thus, if a water temperature and the amount of cold water are detected by one detection means, a detection means can be decreased. At this time, in the determination of ST11, it is determined whether the detected water temperature is in the cold water temperature range, and if it is in the cold water temperature range, it is determined whether the water temperature is lower than room temperature. What is necessary is just to perform exhaust heat recovery.

  In addition, a bypass circuit as described in the second embodiment may be provided to provide a bath water reheating function.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the exhaust heat from the refrigerator-freezer is collected in the hot water supply unit. However, the present invention may be applied to a cooling device that includes only a freezer compartment or only a refrigerator compartment. Moreover, it is not restricted to using for a hot-water supply unit, It can apply to various things, such as using the collect | recovered warm heat for the heat source of an air conditioner, for example. Moreover, if the temperature zone of the hot water to be used can be arbitrarily set according to the purpose, an exhaust heat recovery system that can be used in various ways can be obtained.

In the above description, for example, a refrigerator is described as a cooling device. However, the same applies to a refrigerator only for a freezer, a cooling device only for a refrigerator, and a large-sized one that is not for home use. Further, the cooling space is not limited to the sealed type, and the same effect can be obtained even if the heat exhaust heat from the semi-closed type showcase or the refrigerated warehouse is recovered.
In addition, by providing in advance a first condenser 43 that is a refrigerant-water condenser and a second condenser 44 that is a refrigerant-air condenser as a cooling device, an exhaust heat recovery system like this embodiment can be easily performed. Can be configured. That is, a hot water utilization means and a water circulation path for circulating the hot water utilization means are provided around the place where the cooling device having the first and second condensers 43 and 44 is installed, and the water circulation path and the water circulation portion of the first condenser 43 are connected to each other. If connected, the exhaust heat from the cooling device that has conventionally radiated heat into the air can be used where necessary, as in this embodiment.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
Hereinafter, an exhaust heat recovery system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a circuit configuration diagram showing the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment. The present embodiment relates to a system that recovers exhaust heat from a plurality of electric devices scattered in, for example, an apartment house.
In the figure, reference numeral 51 denotes a low-temperature heat recovery tank, for example, a heat exchanging portion 52a, 52b that exchanges heat with exhaust heat from a plurality of electrical devices that are filled with a liquid such as water and transported by a refrigerant. It has. Moreover, the hot waste water from a several household bathtub or pool is collected into the low temperature heat recovery tank 51 as it is from the inflow port 52d. Reference numeral 53 denotes a refrigeration cycle apparatus, which connects a compressor 54, a condenser 55, a heat exchanging part 51c for exchanging heat with the hot water in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51, and a throttle means through a refrigerant pipe, and circulates the refrigerant.
Reference numeral 56 denotes a fourth water circulation path, and the water circulating through the fourth water circulation path is configured to circulate around the capsule in which the latent heat storage material filled in the heat storage tank 57 is stored. Further, 58 is a pump provided in the fourth water circulation path 56, 59 is a fifth water circulation path for supplying hot water, and for example, water in the shared pool 61 that is the target of supplying hot heat by the pump 60 is circulated in the heat storage tank 57. The heat of the heat storage tank 57 is used as hot water.

  Exhaust heat from each household electrical device is transported by a refrigerant, exchanges heat with water in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 in the heat exchange units 52a and 52b, and around the heat exchange units 52a and 52b, for example, 20 ° C to 40 ° C. Heat of about ℃ can be obtained. Further, in the vicinity of the inflow port 52d, hot waste water of about 30 ° C. from the tub or pool of each household flows. Especially in apartment buildings, drainage from bathtubs in each house is usually collected by pipes, and there are cases where shared freezers and refrigerators are provided. Waste heat and hot drainage from these electrical devices are used for detached houses. Can be collected in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 relatively easily.

Next, the operation | movement at the time of utilizing the warm heat stored in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 is demonstrated. Here, for example, it is used to warm the water in the shared pool. When the refrigeration cycle apparatus 53 is operated, the refrigerant circulating inside evaporates in the heat exchanging section 52c of the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51, passes through the compressor 54, and is heated to water circulating in the fourth water circulation path 56 in the condenser 55. give. And the water given this warm heat gives warm temperature to the latent heat storage material when circulating in the heat storage tank 57.
In the heat storage tank 57, the warm water from the fourth water circulation path 56 flows into the upper part of the heat storage tank 57, gives warm heat to the latent heat storage material while flowing from the upper side to the lower side, and is stored as latent heat of the latent heat storage material. The cold water below the heat storage tank 57 circulates through the fourth water circulation path 56 and repeats a cycle of exchanging heat with the refrigerant of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 53. On the other hand, the heat storage tank 57 supplies warm heat through the fifth circulation path 59. That is, the cold water from the fifth water circulation path 59 is used in the shared pool 61. Then, the cold water from the shared pool 61 circulates through the fifth water circulation path 59 and flows downward, and is given warm heat by the latent heat storage material. The water in the shared pool 61 becomes warm water of, for example, about 29 ° C. to 32 ° C. due to the heat stored in the heat storage tank 57.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the exhaust heat from a plurality of electrical devices is collected in the low temperature heat recovery tank 51 and used in a place where the heat is required, and the waste heat normally discarded is recovered. There is an effect that can be done.
Furthermore, if it is set as the structure which flows the waste_water | drain after using with a warm-water utilization means to the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51, a heat recovery system which can utilize warm heat again and can reuse waste heat without waste is obtained.

  In addition, since the capacity | capacitance of the water stored in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 will be decided at the time of system construction, it is comprised so that it may drain and replace only the amount of water which flowed in from the inflow port 52d. However, in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51, if the amount of heat to be cooled by the heat exchange unit 52c and the amount of heat to be heated by the heat exchange units 52a and 52b are balanced to some extent on average in one day, for example, It is not necessary to use the warm waste water from 52d. Therefore, in this case, it is not necessary to replace the water in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51. Further, when the hot drainage from the inflow port 52d is not used, it is not necessary to recover heat with water in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51. For example, the brine is filled with the heat exchangers 52a, 52b, and 52c. You may comprise so that heat exchange may be carried out.

  In addition, by setting a time zone for performing the heat storage operation to the heat storage tank 57 and controlling to operate during this set time zone, use a low-cost late-night power time zone, or drive away from the power peak time It is possible to operate according to the use situation of the user, obtain an energy saving effect at low cost, and obtain an easy-to-use exhaust heat recovery system.

Embodiment 5. FIG.
Hereinafter, the exhaust heat recovery system according to the fifth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, as an electric device for recovering exhaust heat in the fourth embodiment, for example, a shared refrigerator in an apartment house is connected by piping, and exhaust heat from the refrigerator is used using a low-temperature heat recovery tank. Is.
FIG. 11 shows the configuration of the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment. In the figure, 62 is a refrigerator system, 63 is an ice storage tank, 64 is a refrigerator compressor, 65 is an accumulator, 66a, 66b and 66c are throttle means, 66b is particularly a refrigerator throttle means, 67a, 67b, 67c and 67d. , 67e and 67f are electromagnetic valves that are means for opening and closing the refrigerant pipes, 68a and 68b are check valves, 69 is a heat exchanger for the refrigerator stored in the refrigerator, and 70 is a refrigerator main body.
In this exhaust heat recovery system, there are a heat storage operation performed at night and a heat storage utilization operation performed during the day as operation patterns. The refrigerator system 62 includes an ice heat storage tank 63, in which cold heat of 0 ° C. is stored in the ice heat storage tank 63, and heat higher than 0 ° C., which is exhaust heat from the electrical equipment, is stored in the low temperature heat recovery tank 51 as latent heat. It is done.

Hereinafter, the heat storage operation will be described. The refrigerant flow in this operation is indicated by a solid line arrow. In the refrigerator system 62, cold heat for cooling is stored in the ice heat storage tank 63 at night. That is, the electromagnetic valves 67a, 67c, 67d, and 67f are opened, and the electromagnetic valves 67b and 67e are closed. Then, a refrigerant circulation circuit of the refrigerator compressor 64 → the heat exchange part 52a → the electromagnetic valve 67d → the check valve 68a → the throttle means 66c → the ice heat storage tank 63 → the electromagnetic valve 67f → the accumulator 65 is configured, and the heat exchange part 52a Is used as a condenser, and the ice heat storage tank 63 is used as an evaporator, whereby cold heat is stored in the ice heat storage tank 63. The heat exhaust heat at the time of this ice heat storage is recovered by dissipating heat to the low temperature heat recovery tank 51 by the heat exchanging part 52a.
In addition, when a refrigeration / freezing load is generated in the refrigerator main body 70 during the above heat storage operation, the cooling operation is performed simultaneously. At this time, the refrigerant circulation circuit of the refrigerator compressor 64 → the heat exchanging part 52a → the electromagnetic valves 67d and 67c → the throttle means 66b → the heat exchanger 69 → the electromagnetic valve 67a → the throttle means 66a → the accumulator 65 is configured to generate heat. The cooling space of the refrigerator main body 70 is cooled by using the exchanger 52a as a condenser and the heat exchanger 69 as an evaporator. The heat exhaust heat when the refrigerator is cooled is radiated and recovered to the low temperature heat recovery tank 51 by the heat exchanging part 52a.
Normally, heat storage operation is controlled to be performed at night, for example, at midnight power hours, and when refrigeration / refrigeration loads are generated, simultaneous heat storage / cooling operation corresponding to cooling loads while storing cold energy is performed. Do. Further, when the refrigeration / refrigeration load is not generated, if the electromagnetic valve 67c is closed, the refrigerant circuit for cooling the refrigerator is closed, and a circuit for performing only the heat storage operation is configured.
Further, the warm heat stored in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 is stored in the heat storage tank 57 by the refrigeration cycle device 53 at night, and is used as a heat source for heating the pool and hot water tank during the day.

  In the heat storage use operation, the cold heat stored in the ice heat storage tank 63 is used for supercooling to cool the refrigerator or the freezer. The refrigerant flow in this operation is indicated by dotted arrows. That is, the electromagnetic valves 67b, 67c and 67e are opened, and the electromagnetic valves 67a, 67d and 67f are closed. Then, the compressor 64 for the refrigerator → the heat exchange part 52a → the electromagnetic valve 67e → the ice heat storage tank 63 → the check valve 68b → the electromagnetic valve 67c → the throttle means 66b → the heat exchanger 69 → the electromagnetic valve 67b → the refrigerant circulation circuit of the accumulator 65 Configure. The refrigerant that has become high-temperature and high-pressure in the compressor 64 is condensed and cooled in the heat exchanging section 52 a to become hot water of about 50 ° C., and is further cooled to about 30 ° C. by defrosting in the ice heat storage tank 63. And it becomes about -5 degreeC with the expansion means 66b, it evaporates with the heat exchanger 69, and gives cold to a refrigerator. Thus, the cooling space in the refrigerator main body 70 is cooled by using the heat exchanger 52a as a condenser, the ice heat storage tank 63 as a supercooling heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger 69 as an evaporator.

  In the configuration according to the present embodiment, refrigeration / freezing can be performed more efficiently by using the cold heat of the ice heat storage tank 63 as a supercooling heat exchanger. Further, the heat exhaust heat when the refrigerator is cooled is radiated to the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 and recovered by the heat exchanging section 52a. Further, as described in the fourth embodiment, this heat exhaust heat is stored in the heat storage tank 57, and is used as a heat source for heating the pool and the hot water tank by circulating the water in the fifth water circulation path 59. Therefore, it constitutes an exhaust heat recovery system that can use energy without waste.

Hereinafter, an example of operation control of the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a procedure of operation control of the exhaust heat recovery system.
First, after the start of control (START), the water temperature of the pool 61, the pool drainage amount, the heat storage amount of the heat storage tank 57, and the heat storage amount of the ice heat storage tank 63 are detected in ST21. The means for detecting the water temperature of the pool 61 is detected by, for example, a temperature sensor provided in the pool. The means for detecting the amount of pool drainage may be detected by providing a flow meter in the middle of the distribution pipe, or using an estimated value based on the time from the start of drainage. As described in the third embodiment, the amount of heat stored in the heat storage tank 57 is detected by a temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the heat storage tank 57 or a float and magnetostrictive position detection sensor that uses a medium density material between hot water and cold water. it can. The detection means for detecting the amount of heat stored in the ice heat storage tank 63 can be detected by a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of water in the ice heat storage tank 63 or a water level sensor that detects the water level in the ice heat storage tank 63.

In ST22 and ST23, the pool replacement water is stored in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 from 21:00 to 23:00, and the hot drainage from the bathtub is drained as needed for 24 hours and stored in the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51. At this time, for example, the replacement of the pool is replaced with new water every 10% of the whole day. This is because if the water is not replaced, it is unsanitary, and if the water in the entire pool is replaced every day, a large amount of heat is required to heat and keep the tap water and pool water. In the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51, a drainage amount equivalent to a new water storage amount is drained from the lower part of the tank, and the water is replaced.
In addition, it is desirable that the pool drainage time zone is set from 21:00 to 23:00 is the late-night power hour zone from 23:00, and it is desirable to perform heating or heat insulation operation according to the pool water temperature. This is to complete the replacement of water. This time zone is not limited to 21:00 to 23:00, and may be set according to the status of each system.

In ST24 and ST25, the heat storage in the ice heat storage tank 63 used for cooling the refrigerator or the freezer is performed in the late-night power hours between 23:00 and 7:00, and the heat storage operation is performed until the ice heat storage tank 63 is fully stored. Do. If a freezing / refrigerating load is generated during this period, the cooling operation is performed simultaneously with the heat storage operation to cool the cooling space in the refrigerator main body 70. In ST26, when a refrigeration / refrigeration load occurs during the daytime that is not in the late-night power hours, the cold energy stored in the ice heat storage tank 63 by performing the heat storage operation is used for freezing / refrigeration by the heat exchanger 69.
In ST27 and ST28, the exhaust heat recovery from the low-temperature heat recovery tank 51 by the refrigeration cycle apparatus 53 and the heat storage in the heat storage tank 57 are also performed in the midnight power time zone between 23:00 and 7:00. When the heat storage tank 57 is fully stored, the heating operation is performed using the heat of the heat storage tank 57 until the pool water temperature reaches the set temperature in ST29 and ST30. This operation control is executed at regular time intervals, for example, at 1 minute intervals.

In this way, by storing warm heat in the heat storage tank 57 and storing cold energy in the ice heat storage tank 63, an exhaust heat recovery system that can collect and store exhaust heat at various temperatures and can use energy without waste is provided. can get.
Moreover, if the time zone which performs the heat storage operation to the heat storage tank 57 and the ice heat storage tank 63 is set, and control is performed so as to operate during this set time zone, a low-rate late-night power time zone can be used, or the power peak time can be Easy to use exhaust heat recovery system that can operate at low cost, operate at a time when CO ₂ emissions are low, or operate according to the usage conditions of the user, and can obtain energy saving effect at low cost. Is obtained.

Embodiment 6 FIG.
Hereinafter, an exhaust heat recovery system according to Embodiment 6 will be described. FIG. 13 shows the configuration of the exhaust heat recovery system according to this embodiment. In the figure, 71 is a compressor, 72 is a heat exchanger, 73 is a throttle means, 74 is an ice heat storage tank, 75 is a latent heat storage tank, 76 is a thermal load, and 77 is a cold load.

A compressor 71, a heat exchanger 72 that operates as a condenser, a throttling means 73, and an ice heat storage tank 74 that operates as an evaporator are connected by piping to constitute a refrigeration cycle apparatus. Water is stored in the ice heat storage tank 74 as a latent heat storage material, and a refrigerant pipe constituting the refrigeration cycle apparatus passes through the water in the ice heat storage tank 74. And the cold heat obtained by evaporating the refrigerant while passing through the refrigerant pipe is stored as latent heat as the water in the ice heat storage tank 74 is solidified into ice at 0 ° C. or less. When the cooling load 77 requires cooling such as cooling, the cooling load 77 uses the cooling energy by de-icing the ice in the ice heat storage tank 74. Further, the heat exchanger 72 that operates as a condenser is configured to exchange heat between the heat medium circulating in the latent heat storage tank 75 and the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle apparatus, and the heat exchanger 72 converts the heat of the condenser into the heat exchanger 72. Heat is stored in the latent heat storage tank 75. The latent heat storage material stored in the latent heat storage tank 75 solidifies at a predetermined temperature of 0 ° C. or higher and stores the heat as latent heat. The temperature of the stored heat is determined by the material used as the latent heat storage material. For example, when the latent heat storage material uses calcium chloride hexahydrate, it can store a heat of about 30 ° C., and when sodium acetate is used, it can store a heat of about 40 ° C. In the heat load 76, for example, when heat such as heating or hot water supply is required, the heat is extracted from the latent heat storage tank 75 and used.
In the exhaust heat recovery system having the configuration shown in FIG. 13, the latent heat storage tank 75 is not included in the refrigeration cycle apparatus, and the ice heat storage tank 74 is included in the refrigeration cycle apparatus. If the ice heat storage tank 74 capable of storing 0 ° C. cold is used in this way, one of the ice heat storage tanks 74 can serve as both a heat exchanger that operates as an evaporator and a latent heat storage tank, and the configuration is simplified. . Moreover, the latent heat storage material of the ice heat storage tank 74 is water, and it is safe to handle and can be realized with an inexpensive latent heat storage material.

  Further, in FIG. 13, the heat storage tank for cooling is provided in the refrigeration cycle apparatus, but conversely, the heat storage tank for cooling is provided outside the refrigeration cycle apparatus, and the heat storage tank for heating is provided in the refrigeration cycle apparatus. Also good. Moreover, both latent heat storage tanks may be provided outside the refrigeration cycle apparatus, or both latent heat storage tanks may be provided within the refrigeration cycle apparatus. What is necessary is just the structure which heat-exchanges with the 1st, 2nd heat exchanger which comprises a refrigeration cycle apparatus at least.

In FIG. 13, the temperature of the warm heat stored in the latent heat storage tank 75 varies depending on the latent heat storage material stored in the latent heat storage tank 75, and therefore any desired heat load 76 may be used. For example, when the latent heat storage material is sodium acetate, heat can be stored at a temperature of about 40 ° C., and aluminum alum at a temperature of about 90 ° C.
Further, the heat medium that circulates in the latent heat storage tank 75 and exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the heat exchanger 72 is a medium that circulates and transports the heat, and in the case of the configuration shown in FIG. , Or brine.

In the present embodiment, a material that changes in latent heat at a low temperature such as ice heat storage is used on the evaporation side, and it is preferable to use sodium acetate that changes in latent heat at an intermediate temperature of about 40 ° C. as the latent heat storage material. For example, when an aluminum alum that changes its latent heat at a high temperature of about 90 ° C. is used on the condensation side as a latent heat storage material of the latent heat storage tank 75, for example, as shown in FIG. It is necessary to raise the temperature of the heat supplied to the latent heat storage tank 75 on the side.
In FIG. 14, a compressor 78, a heat exchanger 79, a throttle means 80, and a heat exchanger 72 are connected by piping to circulate the refrigerant, and the heat exchanger 72 is operated as an evaporator and the heat exchanger 79 is operated as a condenser. The temperature of about 40 ° C. can be raised to about 90 ° C. If the exhaust heat recovery system is configured as shown in FIG. 14, the temperature of the warm heat supplied to the latent heat storage tank 75 can be controlled to be constant, and efficient heat storage can be performed.

Further, instead of the ice heat storage tank 74, as shown in FIG. 15, a heat exchanger 72b that operates as an evaporator and a latent heat storage tank 74 having a latent heat storage material are provided, and cold heat can be stored in this. Good.
In the exhaust heat recovery system shown in FIG. 15, the compressor 71, the first heat exchanger 72a, the throttle means 73, and the second heat exchanger 72b are connected by piping, and the refrigerant is circulated to constitute a refrigeration cycle apparatus. The first heat exchanger 72a is configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle apparatus and the first heat medium circulating in the first latent heat storage tank 75. The second heat exchanger 72b is configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle apparatus and the second heat medium circulating in the second latent heat storage tank 74. For example, when the refrigeration cycle apparatus is operated by operating the first heat exchanger 72a as a condenser and the second heat exchanger 72b as an evaporator, the heat generated when the refrigerant condenses in the first heat exchanger 72a is the first latent heat. The heat stored in the heat storage tank 75 is stored in the second latent heat storage tank 74 when the refrigerant evaporates in the second heat exchanger 72b. The latent heat storage material of the first latent heat storage tank 75 in which warm heat is stored is solidified and stored at a temperature equal to or higher than the first temperature, and the latent heat storage material of the second latent heat storage tank 74 in which cold heat is stored. Is solidified and stored at a temperature equal to or lower than the second temperature. The first temperature and the second temperature are different from each other, and the first temperature stored in the condenser-side latent heat storage tank is higher than the second temperature stored in the condenser-side latent heat storage tank. Therefore, it is necessary to configure the latent heat storage material so that the temperature becomes higher.
For example, when sodium acetate is used as the latent heat storage material of the first latent heat storage tank 75, about 40 ° C., and when aluminum alum is used, about 90 ° C. is stored, and the latent heat storage of the second latent heat storage tank 74 is stored. When potassium hydrogen carbonate is used as the material, cold energy of about -5 ° C is stored, and when sodium chloride is used, cold energy of about -20 ° C is stored. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other latent heat storage materials may be used as the first and second latent heat storage materials. Further, the temperature at which heat is stored is not limited to the above, and high-temperature heat of 90 ° C. or higher and low-temperature cold of −20 ° C. or lower may be stored.
The first heat medium is a medium that is transported by circulating hot heat, and the second heat medium is a medium that is transported by circulating cold, and water, brine, or the like can be used. The first and second heat media may use the same material or different materials.

  In this way, a latent heat storage tank that stores warm heat on the condenser side and a heat storage tank that stores cold heat on the evaporator side are provided, and for example, the refrigeration cycle apparatus is operated during low-cost late-night power hours to store hot and cold heat. In this case, when the thermal load 76 is generated, the heat can be taken out and used while liquefying the latent heat storage material of the latent heat storage tank 75 that stores the heat, and when the cold load 77 is generated, the cold heat is stored. The cold heat can be taken out and used while liquefying the latent heat storage material in the latent heat storage tank 74.

  Further, in the exhaust heat recovery system having the configuration shown in FIG. 15, the first latent heat storage tank 75 and the second latent heat storage tank 74 are not included in the refrigeration cycle apparatus, but the first and second refrigeration cycle apparatuses. Since it is configured to be able to exchange heat with the heat exchangers 72a and 72b, it can be applied to various systems and has high versatility. For example, the latent heat storage material can be selected according to the convenience of the user, and the stored temperature can be changed by changing the latent heat storage material without changing the refrigeration cycle apparatus even after the system is constructed. In addition, since the first and second latent heat storage tanks 75 and 74 are not included in the refrigeration cycle apparatus, the workability of the first and second latent heat storage tanks 75 and 74 and the refrigeration cycle apparatus when installed is also good. Maintenance inspection of the first and second latent heat storage tanks 75 and 74 is also easy.

  In the exhaust heat recovery system according to the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the hot exhaust heat of one refrigeration cycle apparatus is recovered in the latent heat storage tank 75 and the cold exhaust heat is recovered in the latent heat storage tank 74. Thus, it can be recovered and stored in separate latent heat storage materials. That is, an exhaust heat recovery system that can recover and store exhaust heat at different temperatures and use energy without waste is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the generation of the thermal load and the cold load can be dealt with even at the same time, or can be dealt with even if they occur separately.

In the heat exchanger according to the first to fifth embodiments, one fluid flows in through a pipe and exchanges heat with the other fluid flowing around or staying around the pipe, for example, refrigerant-air heat The exchanger can be a plate fin tube heat exchanger or the like, but is not limited thereto.
