循環通路５は、アキュームタンク７と、このアキュームタンク７から分岐部１２までの流路を形成する往き通路部５ａと、分岐部１２から第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂに至る通路部５ｂ，５ｃと、第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂから合流部１３まで流路を形成する通路部５ｄ，５ｅと、合流部１３から熱交換器８に至る第１戻り通路部５ｆと、貯湯タンク４の内部に螺旋状に形成された熱交換器８と、熱交換器８からアキュームタンク７までの流路を形成する第２戻り通路部５ｇとを備えている。 The circulation passage 5 includes an accumulator tank 7, an outward passage portion 5a that forms a flow path from the accumulation tank 7 to the branch portion 12, and a passage portion that extends from the branch portion 12 to the first and second heat collecting panels 2a and 2b. 5b, 5c, passage portions 5d, 5e forming flow paths from the first and second heat collecting panels 2a, 2b to the merge portion 13, and a first return passage portion 5f extending from the merge portion 13 to the heat exchanger 8; A heat exchanger 8 formed in a spiral shape inside the hot water storage tank 4 and a second return passage portion 5g that forms a flow path from the heat exchanger 8 to the accumulation tank 7 are provided.
循環ポンプ６の作動により、アキュームタンク７に貯留された熱媒が循環通路５を循環する。第１戻り通路部５ｆには圧力センサ１４が設けられ、循環する熱媒の圧力を検知可能である。熱交換器８は良好な伝熱性を有する銅製の管材により形成されている。尚、圧力センサ１４は、往き通路部５ａに設けられていてもよい。 The heat medium stored in the accumulation tank 7 circulates in the circulation passage 5 by the operation of the circulation pump 6. A pressure sensor 14 is provided in the first return passage 5f, and the pressure of the circulating heat medium can be detected. The heat exchanger 8 is formed of a copper pipe material having good heat conductivity. Note that the pressure sensor 14 may be provided in the forward passage portion 5a.
アキュームタンク７は、金属製のタンクであり、熱媒を貯留可能に、且つ第２戻り通路部５ｇから流入した熱媒を往き通路部５ａへ流通可能に形成されている。このアキュームタンク７は、リザーブタンク１５を有し、貯留された熱媒から気体を分離する気液分離機能と、温度によって膨張・収縮する熱媒の圧力を調整する圧力調整機能を有する。 The accumulation tank 7 is a metal tank, and is formed so that the heat medium can be stored and the heat medium flowing in from the second return passage portion 5g can be circulated to the forward passage portion 5a.

When the pressure increases due to the expansion of the heat medium, the heat medium moves from the accumulation tank 7 to the reserve tank 15 via the communication pipe 16. Further, when a negative pressure is caused by the contraction of the heat medium, the heat medium moves from the reserve tank 15 to the accumulation tank 7 through the communication pipe 16.
循環通路５の分岐部１２には、第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂに流れる熱媒の流量の比率（流量比）をその開度（分配率）によって調節可能な分配弁１２ａが設けられ、この分配弁１２ａの分配率を制御可能に構成されている。第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂには、夫々の集熱パネルで加熱された熱媒の温度（熱媒温度）を検知する第１，第２熱媒温度センサ１７ａ，１７ｂが設けられている。 The branching portion 12 of the circulation passage 5 is provided with a distribution valve 12a capable of adjusting the flow rate ratio (flow rate ratio) of the heat medium flowing through the first and second heat collecting panels 2a and 2b according to the opening degree (distribution rate). The distribution rate of the distribution valve 12a is controllable. The first and second heat collection panels 2a and 2b are provided with first and second heat medium temperature sensors 17a and 17b for detecting the temperature of the heat medium (heat medium temperature) heated by the respective heat collection panels. ing.
制御ユニット１１は、循環ポンプ６、温度センサ４ａ〜４ｄ、分配弁１２ａ、圧力センサ１４、熱媒温度センサ１７ａ，１７ｂと電気的に接続され、各センサの検知信号等に基づいて循環ポンプ６や分配弁１２ａ等を制御可能に構成されている。 The control unit 11 is electrically connected to the circulation pump 6, the temperature sensors 4a to 4d, the distribution valve 12a, the pressure sensor 14, and the heat medium temperature sensors 17a and 17b. The distribution valve 12a and the like are configured to be controllable.
次に、太陽熱温水システム１の集熱運転について説明する。
制御ユニット１１は、第１，第２熱媒温度センサ１７ａ，１７ｂで検知された熱媒温度が貯湯タンク４の湯水の温度より設定温度以上高い（例えば、温度センサ３ａの検知温度より６℃以上高い）場合に、熱媒の熱を利用して貯湯タンク４に貯留された湯水を加熱する集熱運転を開始する。集熱運転により循環ポンプ６が作動すると循環通路５を熱媒が循環する。尚、設定温度は太陽熱温水システム１の仕様や設置状況等に応じて適宜設定されるものであり、上記温度に限定されない。
Next, the heat collection operation of the solar hot water system 1 will be described.
In the control unit 11, the heat medium temperature detected by the first and second heat medium temperature sensors 17a and 17b is higher than the set temperature by the hot water temperature of the hot water storage tank 4 (for example, 6 ° C. or more than the detected temperature of the temperature sensor 3a). In the case of high), the heat collecting operation for heating the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 4 using the heat of the heat medium is started. When the circulation pump 6 is activated by the heat collecting operation, the heat medium circulates in the circulation passage 5. In addition, preset temperature is suitably set according to the specification, installation condition, etc. of the solar hot water system 1, and is not limited to the said temperature.
第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂで加熱された熱媒は、夫々通路部５ｄ，５ｅを経由して合流部１３で合流し第１戻り通路部５ｆを通って熱交換器８に至る。熱交換器８において、熱媒と貯湯タンク４に貯留された湯水との間で熱交換が行われ、貯留された湯水が加熱されると共に熱媒は冷却される。熱交換器８を通った熱媒は、アキュームタンク７を経由して再び第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂへ送られる。 The heat medium heated by the first and second heat collecting panels 2a and 2b joins at the joining portion 13 via the passage portions 5d and 5e, and reaches the heat exchanger 8 via the first return passage portion 5f. . In the heat exchanger 8, heat exchange is performed between the heat medium and hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 4, and the stored hot water is heated and the heat medium is cooled. The heat medium passing through the heat exchanger 8 is sent again to the first and second heat collecting panels 2a and 2b via the accumulation tank 7.
制御ユニット１１は、第１、第２熱媒温度センサ１７ａ，１７ｂや温度センサ４ａ〜４ｄにより検知された熱媒温度や貯湯タンク４の湯水の温度等に応じて循環ポンプ６の回転数を調節して循環する熱媒の流量を制御することにより、熱媒温度と貯湯タンク４の湯水の温度との温度差を大きくして熱交換器８での熱交換効率が高くなるように制御している。 The control unit 11 adjusts the rotation speed of the circulation pump 6 according to the heat medium temperature detected by the first and second heat medium temperature sensors 17a and 17b and the temperature sensors 4a to 4d, the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank 4, and the like. By controlling the flow rate of the circulating heat medium, the temperature difference between the heat medium temperature and the hot water temperature in the hot water storage tank 4 is increased so that the heat exchange efficiency in the heat exchanger 8 is increased. Yes.
循環ポンプ６の回転数の調節と並行して、制御ユニット１１は分配弁１２ａの分配率を制御する。第１集熱パネル２ａと第２集熱パネル２ｂは同じ仕様のものなので、理想的には分配弁１２ａが分岐先に均等に分配するときに流量比が１：１になり、循環通路５を流れる熱媒の流量が最大となる。 In parallel with the adjustment of the rotational speed of the circulation pump 6, the control unit 11 controls the distribution rate of the distribution valve 12a. Since the first heat collecting panel 2a and the second heat collecting panel 2b have the same specifications, ideally, when the distribution valve 12a distributes evenly to the branch destination, the flow rate ratio becomes 1: 1, and the circulation passage 5 The flow rate of the flowing heat medium is maximized.
しかし、実際には個体差や設置場所の状況等によって、通水抵抗が集熱パネルを含む通路毎に異なって流量比が１：１とはならず、集熱パネルの集熱効率が低下する。このとき、通水抵抗が低い通路と比べて通水抵抗が高い通路の熱媒の流量が少ないので、循環通路５を流れる熱媒の流量が少なくなる。 However, in actuality, the flow resistance does not become 1: 1 depending on the individual difference, the installation location, etc., for each passage including the heat collection panel, and the heat collection efficiency of the heat collection panel decreases. At this time, since the flow rate of the heat medium in the passage having a high water flow resistance is smaller than that in the passage having a low water flow resistance, the flow rate of the heat medium flowing through the circulation passage 5 is reduced.
集熱パネルの集熱効率の低下を防止するため、本発明者は複数の集熱パネルの熱媒の流量を均等化する検討を重ね、複数の集熱パネルの熱媒の流量が均等であるときに、各集熱パネルを通過して合流した熱媒の圧力が最も小さくなることを見出した。これに基づいて、制御ユニット１１は、熱媒の圧力が最も小さくなるように流量比が略１：１になるように分配率を調節し、循環通路５の熱媒の流量を増加させる。 In order to prevent a decrease in the heat collection efficiency of the heat collection panel, the present inventor has repeatedly studied to equalize the flow rate of the heat medium of the plurality of heat collection panels, and when the flow rate of the heat medium of the plurality of heat collection panels is equal. Furthermore, the inventors have found that the pressure of the heat medium that has passed through each heat collecting panel and merged becomes the smallest. Based on this, the control unit 11 adjusts the distribution ratio so that the flow rate ratio is approximately 1: 1 so that the pressure of the heat medium becomes the smallest, and increases the flow rate of the heat medium in the circulation passage 5.
ここで、流量と圧力の関係について説明する。
一般的に通路内を流れる流体の流量は流速に比例する。また、流速と圧力の関係を表すベルヌーイの定理によると、下記の式（１）に示すように、流速が最大（左辺第２項が最大）になると圧力が最小（左辺第１項が最小）になる。Ｐは流体の圧力、ρは流体の密度、ｖは流速である。
Here, the relationship between the flow rate and the pressure will be described.
In general, the flow rate of fluid flowing in the passage is proportional to the flow velocity. Further, according to Bernoulli's theorem representing the relationship between flow velocity and pressure, as shown in the following equation (1), when the flow velocity becomes maximum (the second term on the left side is maximum), the pressure becomes minimum (the first term on the left side is minimum). become. P is the pressure of the fluid, ρ is the density of the fluid, and v is the flow velocity.
従って、圧力センサ１４によって検知される第１戻り通路部５ｆを流れる熱媒の圧力が最小になるように分配弁１２ａの分配率を調節すると、循環通路５を流れる熱媒の流速が最大になり、流量が最大になる。流量比が１：１のとき循環通路５の流量が最大になるから、圧力が最小になる。こうして、複数の集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂを流れる熱媒の流量が均等化され、集熱パネルの集熱効率の低下を防ぐことができる。 Accordingly, when the distribution ratio of the distribution valve 12a is adjusted so that the pressure of the heat medium flowing through the first return passage portion 5f detected by the pressure sensor 14 is minimized, the flow rate of the heat medium flowing through the circulation path 5 is maximized. The flow rate is maximized. When the flow rate ratio is 1: 1, the flow rate of the circulation passage 5 is maximized, so that the pressure is minimized. In this way, the flow rate of the heat medium flowing through the plurality of heat collection panels 2a and 2b is equalized, and a decrease in the heat collection efficiency of the heat collection panel can be prevented.
ところで、集熱運転中には、太陽の位置が刻々と変化するので、近隣の建物の影などにより特定の集熱パネル、例えば第１集熱パネル２ａの集熱効率が低下する場合がある。このとき第１集熱パネル２ａの熱媒温度が低下するため第1戻り通路部５ｆを流れる熱媒の温度が低下するので、制御ユニット１１は循環ポンプ６の回転数を調節して循環流量を減少させる、または循環ポンプ６を停止させる。一方、集熱効率が低下していない第２集熱パネル２ｂでは、循環流量の減少または循環停止により熱媒が過剰に加熱され沸騰に至る虞がある。 By the way, since the position of the sun changes every moment during the heat collecting operation, the heat collecting efficiency of a specific heat collecting panel, for example, the first heat collecting panel 2a may be lowered due to shadows of neighboring buildings. At this time, since the temperature of the heat medium flowing through the first return passage portion 5f is lowered because the temperature of the heat medium of the first heat collecting panel 2a is lowered, the control unit 11 adjusts the number of revolutions of the circulation pump 6 to adjust the circulation flow rate. Decrease or stop the circulation pump 6. On the other hand, in the second heat collecting panel 2b in which the heat collecting efficiency is not lowered, there is a possibility that the heat medium is excessively heated due to a decrease in circulation flow rate or a circulation stop, resulting in boiling.
しかし、第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂは夫々第１，第２熱媒温度センサ１７ａ，１７ｂを備えているので、第２熱媒温度センサ１７ｂが検知した熱媒温度が所定温度（例えば８５℃）以上の場合には、第２集熱パネル２ｂにのみ熱媒が流れるように分配弁１２ａの分配率を調節し、熱媒の沸騰を防止することができる。尚、第２集熱パネル２ｂの集熱効率が低下した場合も同様に、第１熱媒温度センサ１７ａが検知した熱媒温度が所定温度以上の場合には、第１集熱パネル２ａにのみ熱媒が流れるように分配弁１２ａの分配率を調節することにより、熱媒の沸騰を防止することができる。 However, since the first and second heat collecting panels 2a and 2b include the first and second heat medium temperature sensors 17a and 17b, respectively, the heat medium temperature detected by the second heat medium temperature sensor 17b is a predetermined temperature ( In the case of 85 ° C. or higher, for example, the distribution rate of the distribution valve 12a can be adjusted so that the heat medium flows only through the second heat collecting panel 2b, and boiling of the heat medium can be prevented. Similarly, when the heat collection efficiency of the second heat collection panel 2b is lowered, when the heat medium temperature detected by the first heat medium temperature sensor 17a is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, only the first heat collection panel 2a is heated. The boiling of the heat medium can be prevented by adjusting the distribution ratio of the distribution valve 12a so that the medium flows.
図２に示すように、実施例２の太陽熱温水システム１は、実施例１の太陽熱温水システム１の循環通路５の分岐部１２に分配弁１２ａを有せずに合流部１３に混合弁１３ａを備えた構成となっており、これ以外は同一の構成である。以下、実施例１の太陽熱温水システム１と同一の構成には同じ符号を付して説明を省略する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the solar hot water system 1 of the second embodiment includes a mixing valve 13 a at the junction 13 without the distribution valve 12 a at the branch portion 12 of the circulation passage 5 of the solar hot water system 1 of the first embodiment. The other configuration is the same. Hereinafter, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as the solar hot water system 1 of Example 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
集熱運転において、複数の集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂを通過した熱媒が、混合弁１３ａで混合されて第１戻り通路部５ｆを流れる。このとき制御ユニット１１は、第１戻り通路部５ｆを流れる熱媒の圧力が最小になるように混合弁１３ａの開度（混合率）を調節する。圧力センサ１４で検知される圧力は、上述のように、流量比が１：１となったときに最も小さくなる。従って、混合弁１３ａの混合率の調節により、第１，第２集熱パネル２ａ，２ｂを流れる熱媒の流量が均等化されて流量比が略１：１になり、集熱パネルの集熱効率の低下を防ぐことができる。 In the heat collecting operation, the heat medium that has passed through the plurality of heat collecting panels 2a and 2b is mixed by the mixing valve 13a and flows through the first return passage portion 5f. At this time, the control unit 11 adjusts the opening degree (mixing rate) of the mixing valve 13a so that the pressure of the heat medium flowing through the first return passage portion 5f is minimized. As described above, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 14 becomes the smallest when the flow rate ratio becomes 1: 1. Therefore, by adjusting the mixing ratio of the mixing valve 13a, the flow rate of the heat medium flowing through the first and second heat collection panels 2a and 2b is equalized, and the flow rate ratio becomes approximately 1: 1, and the heat collection efficiency of the heat collection panel Can be prevented.
また、集熱運転中に近隣の建物等の影響により特定の集熱パネルの集熱効率が低下して循環流量を低下または循環停止させたときに、熱媒温度センサで検知された熱媒温度が所定温度（例えば８５℃）以上の場合には、混合弁１３ａの混合率を調節することにより集熱効率が低下していない集熱パネルのみに熱媒が流れるようにして、熱媒の沸騰を防止することができる。 In addition, when the heat collection efficiency of a specific heat collection panel decreases due to the influence of nearby buildings during heat collection operation and the circulation flow rate is reduced or stopped, the heat medium temperature detected by the heat medium temperature sensor is When the temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 85 ° C.), by adjusting the mixing rate of the mixing valve 13a, the heat medium flows only in the heat collection panel where the heat collection efficiency is not lowered, thereby preventing boiling of the heat medium. can do.
