Description of the invention: t [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention is a forced circulation type solar collector (1), which is designed to improve solar water heaters by using a deflector, a turbulence generator, and the like. efficacy. [Prior Art] With the soaring oil prices and the warming effect of the earth, the demand for alternative energy sources is becoming more and more urgent. One of the most commonly used is solar energy. There are many examples of solar energy applications on the market. There are already similar technologies for solar water heaters on the market, such as those disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. 84203166 and No. 93214374. According to the classification of solar water heaters, they can be mainly divided into: (1) "forced circulation"; and (2) "natural circulation". The “natural circulation” type is a natural convection mechanism generated by the density change of the fluid itself for circulation and heat exchange. This method is commonly used in general household solar water heaters with less hot water consumption. The "forced circulation" type uses a water pump to circulate water between the collector and the hot water storage container for forced heat exchange. This method is often used in factories, hospitals, hotels and institutions with high water consumption. Wait. The structure of the solar fb water heater is mainly composed of two parts: the collector (c〇iiect〇r) and the storage tank. The heat collector is the key to the technology. It is directly related to the performance of the solar water heater. Ambient temperature conditions for normal operation. The current collectors widely used in solar water heaters are mainly "glass evacuated tubes" 200928250. It uses a vacuum interlayer to conduct thermal insulation of the collector, so in terms of thermal energy line (4), heat loss rate and honest efficiency, glass and vacuum tube type are dominant. Especially when applied at 8 〇 C )' during medium-high temperature heat collection or at low solar radiation, the effect is more obvious. Therefore, the use of glass vacuum tube collectors has gradually increased in recent years.
玻璃真空管式集熱器依其從真空管中將熱導出之方 式,玻璃真空管式集熱器可再分為3種,即「熱管式」(“豺 pipe)、「U型金屬管式」(u—tube)與「全玻璃式」uii glass)。其中全玻璃式太陽真空管式集熱器,係採用雙層 玻璃套管,内玻璃管一端為封閉之圓頂形狀,另一端與外 玻璃管一端熔封成環狀之開口端,並在内外圓管之間抽成 高真空,具有結構最簡單,製造成本低之優點。 由於全玻璃式太陽真空管式集熱器之外形具有單一開 口,及利用將工作流體(一般為水)充滿内層玻璃管,並 直接與太陽能做直接熱交換之特性,使工作流體只能藉由 此單一開口,在同一個開口截面下同時做流入與流出之雙 (逆)向循環熱交換;加上全玻璃式太陽真空管之外形十 分細長(直徑約10⑽,長度約使得工作流體 之流動更為困難。甚至在靠近玻璃管底部附近形成一段停 滯區(stagnation region),令流入之冷水無法流到玻璃 管就被擠出管外,造成沒有充分之時間、接觸面積與真空 管内壁之高溫熱源做熱交換,而大大影響真空管之集熱= 能。另由於工作流體在玻璃管内之流動速度低,加上玻璃 管面十分光滑,故全玻璃式太陽真空管内之流動一般皆屬 200928250 '層流(laminar)流場,其與玻璃管内壁表面之熱傳效果, 比起具有高擾動與混合效果之紊流流場還差。 如第五、六圖所示者。集熱裝置之水套⑷由保溫層 (A1)封閉而成,水套(A) 一端為冷水進口(A2),另一 端為熱水出口(A3)。水套(A) —邊側壁連接有真空管(B) 曝囉於太陽光下。當真空管(B)吸收陽光之熱能之後,敎 能進入真空管⑻内壁,並與從冷水進口(A2)流進水^ ❹(A)内部後,再由水套(A)内部向下流入真空管⑻中 之冷水進行熱交換,熱交換後之熱水再從真空管(B)内呷 向上流出並進入與其連接之水套(A)中,然後再從水套J) 之熱水出口(A3)流出去使用。但習用之「強制循環」式 產品在系統循環時,由於真空管(B)為一端封閉的形狀^ 徵,往往使得部分冷水無法完全順利的流入真空管(B)内 部底端,來與真空管(B)内壁進行完整的熱交換,就被先 刖停留在真空管(B)内部的水排擠而流出真空管(b )外, 〇而直接從熱水出口(A4)流出去,造成該集熱裝置的集熱 效能降低。另流入水套(A)下層内之冷水與靠近冷水進口 (A2)之上游處的真空管(B)所加熱後之熱水,往往會產 生混合,使流入下游真空管(B)中加熱的冷水溫度升高, 造成冷水與真空管内壁之間的熱交換介面溫差降低,而影 響整體太陽能熱水器之集熱功效。 〜 故習用之「強制循環」式產品存有此等缺點,本發明 即是針對此等缺點加以設計改良,避免使流入水套之之冷 水與真空管加熱後流出真空管之熱水混合,或是增加工作 7 200928250 流體流工作流體流進/出真空管之順暢度,或增加工作流體 與真空管内壁之接觸面積與熱交換時間,或將真空管内之 流場變成奈流’俾增加其擾動與混合效果,以提昇真空管 内部之熱交換能力’改善太陽能熱水器之整體效能,故申 請人特提出本發明之申請。 【發明内容】 本發明係以解決習見之強制循環式太陽能熱水器,其 ❹效率無法加以增強提昇之問題者。 、 本發明係提供一種強制循環式太陽能集熱器(一), 其係包括水套、真空管,水套一端為冷水進口另一端為 J水出口,其中:水套内設置有-導流隔板,將水套内部 空間區分為上、下兩個空間,冷水進口係位於下空間,而 熱水出口係位於上空間,而導流隔板延伸入真空管内部, 使真空管内部亦區隔為上、下兩個空間。 上述之真空管内部之總長度L,且延伸入真空管内部之 ❹飢,板總長度Li ’且在該導流隔板上,每隔適當之間隔 Sr,設置適當數目Nr之紊流產生器。 上述之 0<1^<1^或 〇<U = l。 上述之Sr〈或=Li 。 上述之Nr〉或=1。 上述之水套係由保溫層封閉而成。 上述之真空管係採用全玻璃式太陽真空集熱管。 上述之紊流產生器為一凸出物或凹孔。 本發明之優點在於··藉導流隔m產生器等之設 200928250 -計’得以避免使部分冷水尚未流入真空管内部加熱就流 出,及避免冷水熱水混合,使熱交換介面之溫差降低。利 用蒼流’來增加流入真空管内部加熱之冷水的擾動效果, 以提昇冷水與真空管内壁之間的熱交換能力,改善太陽能 熱水器之整體效能。 【實施方式】 首先請參閱第一、二圖所示,本發明係包括水套(1)、 真空管(2),水套(1 )係由保溫層(丨丨)封閉而成,水 套(1)之一端為冷水進口(12),另一端為熱水出口(13), 其中:水套(1)内設置有一導流隔板(14),將水套(1) 内部空間區分為上空間(15)、下空間(16),冷水進口 (12)係位於下空間(16),而熱水出口(13)係位於上 空間(15) ’而導流隔板(⑷延伸入真空管⑴内部使 真空管(2)内部亦區隔為上空間(21)、下空間(22), 另,導流隔板(14)延伸入真空管(2)之部份兩側均設有 ❹複數紊流產生器(23),而該紊流產生器(23)係可為凸 出物或凹孔,圖式中以凸出物表示。 上述之真空管(2)係採用全玻璃式太陽真空集熱管。 使用時h第二、四圖所示,冷水由冷水進口(12) 進入水套⑴之下空間(16),再進入真空管 之下空間(22),經過一組紊 門司 過時產生擾流,能夠將真*# f ,水流通 變為紊= 部之低速流場提前轉 為紊 叮增加其擾動與混合效果,以提昇真空管 内P之熱乂換效果,充分混合後產生之熱水再由真空管(2) 9 200928250 之上空間(21)流出, (23),之後進入水套 水出口(13)釋出。 流出時亦會經過另 (1 )内部之上空間 一組紊流產生器 (15) ’而由熱 請參閱第四圖,本發明之導流隔板(14)係 空管(2)内部’當真空管(2)内邻魄真洛炎T 具 Μ 總長度為L,係取適當 之長度Li為導流隔板(14)延伸入真空管⑴内部The glass vacuum tube type collector can be further divided into three types according to the way of heat extraction from the vacuum tube, that is, "heat pipe type" ("豺pipe", "U type metal tube type" (u —tube) and “all glass” uii glass). The all-glass type solar vacuum tube type collector adopts a double-layer glass sleeve, and the inner glass tube has a closed dome shape at one end, and the other end and the outer glass tube are sealed at one end into a ring-shaped open end, and the inner and outer circles are rounded. The high vacuum is drawn between the tubes, which has the advantages of the simplest structure and low manufacturing cost. Since the all-glass solar vacuum tube collector has a single opening, and the working fluid (generally water) is filled with the inner glass tube and directly exchanges heat with the solar energy, the working fluid can only be used thereby Single opening, simultaneous double-flow (reverse) cyclic heat exchange between the inflow and outflow under the same opening cross section; plus the all-glass solar vacuum tube is very slender (about 10 (10) in diameter, the length is about making the working fluid flow more difficult Even in the vicinity of the bottom of the glass tube, a stagnation region is formed, so that the inflowing cold water can not be flowed out of the glass tube and is extruded outside the tube, resulting in insufficient time, contact area and heat exchange with the high temperature heat source of the inner wall of the vacuum tube. , and greatly affect the heat collection of the vacuum tube = energy. Because the flow velocity of the working fluid in the glass tube is low, and the glass tube surface is very smooth, the flow in the all-glass solar vacuum tube is generally 200928250 'Laminar' The flow field, which has a heat transfer effect with the inner surface of the glass tube, is more turbulent than the high disturbance and mixing effect. The flow field is still poor. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the water jacket (4) of the heat collecting device is closed by the insulation layer (A1), and the water jacket (A) has a cold water inlet (A2) at one end and hot water at the other end. Outlet (A3). Water jacket (A) - The side wall is connected with a vacuum tube (B) exposed to sunlight. When the vacuum tube (B) absorbs the heat of sunlight, the crucible can enter the inner wall of the vacuum tube (8) and is imported from the cold water ( A2) After flowing into the water ^ ❹ (A), the cold water flowing into the vacuum tube (8) from the inside of the water jacket (A) is exchanged for heat exchange, and the hot water after the heat exchange flows upward from the inside of the vacuum tube (B). Enter the water jacket (A) connected to it and then use it from the hot water outlet (A3) of the water jacket J). However, in the "compulsory circulation" type of products used in the system, because the vacuum tube (B) is closed at one end, it is often impossible for some of the cold water to flow smoothly into the inner bottom end of the vacuum tube (B) to the vacuum tube (B). The complete heat exchange of the inner wall is carried out by the water remaining inside the vacuum tube (B) and flowing out of the vacuum tube (b), and directly flowing out from the hot water outlet (A4), causing heat collection of the heat collecting device. Reduced performance. The hot water heated in the lower layer of the water jacket (A) and the hot water (B) heated near the upstream of the cold water inlet (A2) tend to mix, so that the temperature of the cold water flowing into the downstream vacuum tube (B) is heated. When it rises, the temperature difference between the cold water and the inner wall of the vacuum tube is lowered, which affects the heat collecting effect of the overall solar water heater. ~ The "forced circulation" type of products that are used in practice have these shortcomings. The present invention is designed to improve these shortcomings, and avoids mixing the cold water flowing into the water jacket with the hot water flowing out of the vacuum tube after heating the vacuum tube, or increasing Work 7 200928250 Fluid flow The flow of working fluid into/out of the vacuum tube, or increase the contact area and heat exchange time between the working fluid and the inner wall of the vacuum tube, or turn the flow field in the vacuum tube into a flow of gas, increasing the disturbance and mixing effect. In order to improve the overall heat efficiency of the solar water heater by improving the heat exchange capacity inside the vacuum tube, the applicant has filed an application for the present invention.

The above vacuum tube system uses an all-glass solar vacuum heat collecting tube. The above turbulence generator is a protrusion or a recess. The advantage of the present invention is that the arrangement of the flow divider m generator and the like is such that the partial cold water does not flow into the interior of the vacuum tube to be heated, and the mixing of the cold water and hot water is avoided, so that the temperature difference of the heat exchange interface is lowered. The use of the flow is used to increase the disturbance effect of the cold water flowing into the vacuum tube to improve the heat exchange capacity between the cold water and the inner wall of the vacuum tube, and improve the overall efficiency of the solar water heater.
