Abstract
The present invention relates to an underground heat exchanger of a geothermal heat pump. The present invention is formed of a flexible material so that the circulation pipe inserted into the well can be folded to be pulled up by a reel so that the lifting of the circulation pipe is easy and the space required for lifting the circulation pipe is small, such as a basement. An underground heat exchanger can also be installed. In addition, as the well is installed inside the manhole, it is possible to facilitate maintenance work of the underground heat exchanger without digging.
Description
The present invention relates to a geothermal heat pump system that performs cooling and heating using groundwater or geothermal heat as a heat source, and more particularly, to an underground heat exchanger of a geothermal heat pump system.
The geothermal method uses geothermal power generation to generate electricity by using high temperature heat in the ground, direct geothermal method using geothermal heat directly like hot spring water, and uses a heat pump to perform heating and cooling by using low temperature geothermal power. Geothermal pumps can be divided into two types.
Geothermal heat pumps use groundwater and geothermal heat as heating and cooling sources. Geothermal heat is a stable heat source with little temperature change throughout the year, making it suitable for residential and commercial use. . As a kind of underground use, a geothermal heat pump that is widely used recently uses relatively shallow geothermal heat, and forms a well of 400 to 500 m deep inside a well-developed rock bed and installs a heat exchanger inside the well. It is a technology for heating and cooling. The structure has been shown in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0371813 and Patent No. 10-0675257 filed by the applicant.
Among the geothermal heat pumps, the semi-open type, also known as standing column W1ell heat exchanger is a method in which heat is directly exchanged between rock and groundwater using accumulated water in a narrow and long well. Compared to an open heat exchanger that uses ground water directly or a sealed heat exchanger that uses a U-shaped tube inserted vertically, it is gradually spread in favor of problems such as securing installation space, installation cost, pollution, product life, and maintenance of the well. This is an expanding trend.
The standing column heat exchanger as described above embeds groundwater circulation pipes (hereinafter, referred to as circulation pipes) inside the wells formed by drilling rock layers, pulls the groundwater collected in the wells to the ground, heat exchanges them with heat exchangers, and then circulates them again. It uses the energy absorbed during the process of returning to the inside of the well through the pipe and uses it as energy of the heating and cooling system.
Here, the circulation pipe generally uses a pipe made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). However, PVC contains chlorine, an ozone depleting substance, and is recognized as a non-environmental material due to the generation of dioxin in the manufacturing process, so it is environmentally friendly like PE (polyethylene) in sewage pipes that have been widely used for a long time. It is being replaced with phosphorus material. Among PE pipes, HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is widely used for water and sewage and gas pipes. And since PVC pipe is weak and hard, it is generally made of 4 ~ 6m in length, so it is generally used to connect several short pipes with adhesive to form a circulation pipe from the top to the bottom of the well, which has a depth of 400 ~ 500m. to be.
As described above, the circulation pipe connecting the plurality of PVC pipes by using an adhesive or a mechanical connecting device has about 100 joints, and thus, the work process is complicated, and when the circulation pipe is installed or used, the circulation pipe is defective. There is a fear that cracks or holes are generated in the middle of the tube, thereby reducing the performance of the geothermal heat pump.
In addition, during the installation or use of the circulation pipe, cracks or holes are generated, and inspection is necessary, or in order to remove foreign substances (rock and rock fragments, sand grains, etc.) naturally occurring inside the well due to long-term use. If the air surging is carried out every 5 years, the underwater heat exchanger, such as the PVC pipe is cut off or the joint is pulled out while the underwater pumps, pipes, and motor cables, etc. There is a problem that inspection and maintenance are not easy.
In view of this, in recent years, a technology (utility model registration No. 20-0419540) in which a circulation pipe is improved to PE material for the inspection and repair of underground heat exchangers has been introduced. This technology installs a submersible pump that sucks deep groundwater that maintains a constant temperature collected in the well, and is positioned relatively upstream within the well.The discharge end of the circulating pipe passing through the ground heat exchanger It extends long to a position close to the bottom of the well so that it can flow out to the bottom of the bottom. The circulation pipe is made of a PE material having flexibility and excellent tensile strength, and the traction wire is clamped along the longitudinal direction of the circulation pipe so that the circulation pipe can be pulled out of the well.
However, as the conventional underground heat exchanger as described above, the circulation pipe inserted into the well is more flexible than the hard PVC or PVC, but to some extent made of a hard PE material, it is difficult to lift the circulation pipe out of the well during maintenance work. Due to the difficulty in lifting the circulated pipes, a fairly large work space is required, which makes it difficult to install underground heat exchangers in individual buildings.
In addition, conventionally, since the connection portion connecting the underground heat exchanger and the ground heat exchanger is usually buried in the ground, when performing maintenance work, the surrounding area of the ground heat exchanger should be dug up after digging the ground, and after completion of work, the ground must be buried again. There was a problem that it becomes more difficult to periodically perform the maintenance work of the heat exchanger.
An object of the present invention is not only easy to lift the circulation pipe for the installation work and maintenance of the circulation pipe is easy, but also to install the underground heat exchanger in individual buildings by reducing the space for lifting the circulation pipe lifted from the well It is to provide an underground heat exchanger of a geothermal heat pump.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an underground heat exchanger of a geothermal heat pump that can be easily separated from the connection portion between the underground heat exchanger and the ground heat exchanger.
In order to achieve the object of the present invention, it includes a circulation pipe is inserted in the longitudinal direction of the well drilled so that the groundwater in the underground rock layer circulated between the well and the ground heat exchanger; The circulation pipe is provided with an underground heat exchanger of a geothermal heat pump made of a collapsible material whose inner circumferential surface may overlap when the ground water is not filled.
Here, the circulation pipe may be formed of a waterproof material of the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface, and woven fiber material between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface.
The circulation pipe may be made of one of a polyurethane built-in hose or a rubber built-in hose.
The circulation pipe may include a weight having a specific gravity greater than that of water, and the weight may have a hole communicating the inside and the outside of the circulation pipe.
And, the upper side of the well is provided with a manhole for accommodating the upper side of the well, the ground wall of the manhole is coupled through the groundwater pipe connected to the ground heat exchanger, the top of the well is provided with a cover plate covering the well In addition, the cover plate may be provided with a fixed connecting pipe detachably connected to the circulation pipe, and an intermediate connecting pipe may be detachably connected between the groundwater pipe and the fixed connecting pipe.
And, the circulation pipe is composed of an inlet side circulation pipe into which the groundwater flows from the well and an outlet side circulation pipe through which the groundwater flows into the well, and the outlet side circulation pipe is disposed on the bottom surface of the well more than the inlet circulation pipe. It can be installed to be closer.
The underground heat exchanger of the geothermal heat pump according to the present invention is formed of a flexible material such that the circulation pipe inserted into the well can be folded, and can be wound up and reeled up so that the lifting of the circulation pipe is easy, and even in a narrow work space, It is easy to lift the installed circulation pipe, so it is possible to install underground heat exchanger in the basement of individual buildings.
In addition, since the well is installed inside the manhole, maintenance work of the underground heat exchanger can be facilitated without digging.

On the other hand, when the underground heat exchanger is used for a certain period of time, when a piece of rock or other foreign matter is deposited at the bottom of the well and flows into the circulation pipe, the amount of groundwater circulated through the circulation pipe is reduced. However, since the heat exchange performance of the above ground heat exchanger may be reduced, it is necessary to periodically clean the circulation pipe.
In this case, in the related art, maintenance work becomes difficult because the circulation pipe must be pulled up after digging the periphery of the well again. However, in the present invention, the manhole cover (410) is installed inside the
In addition, in the related art, as the circulation pipe is made of a rigid PVC material or a PE material that is more flexible than PVC but maintains a constant cross-sectional area, it is not only difficult to raise the circulation pipe of several hundred meters, but also a wide work.
