Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a cooling system, more particularly to a cooling system for a building.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A currently available glass curtain wall installed on a building utilizes a double-layered glass design, which has two spaced-apart glass panels confining a space therebetween. The space is evacuated so as to achieve the purpose of heat insulation.
- Although the effect of heat insulation is obtained through evacuation of the space between the glass panels, when the glass curtain wall is heated through intense sunrays, an inner layer of the glass is still heated. Hence, there is a need to improve the heat insulating effect of the aforementioned glass curtain wall.
- Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cooling system that has a glass structure unit including a fluidtight receiving space and a coolant that flows automatically in and out of the receiving space to cool the glass structure unit when a preset temperature is reached.
- According to this invention, a cooling system for a building comprises a glass structure unit, a coolant, and a temperature-responsive flow control valve. The glass structure unit includes a frame, and two spaced-apart inner and outer glass panels mounted on the frame. The frame and the glass panels cooperatively confine a fluidtight receiving space. The coolant fills the fluidtight receiving space. The temperature-responsive flow control valve is connected to the glass structure unit, and is connected fluidly to the fluidtight receiving space. The temperature-responsive flow control valve has a valve casing, a valve member disposed in the valve casing, and a temperature sensor attached to the valve casing to activate the valve member to open when the temperature sensor detects that the glass structure unit has a temperature increased to a preset temperature, so that the coolant flows out from the fluidtight receiving space for replenishment of the coolant in the fluidtight receiving space.

- Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 3 , the first preferred embodiment of a cooling system for a building according to the present invention is shown to comprise aglass structure unit 10, a temperature-responsiveflow control valve 20, and acoolant storage unit 30. - The
glass structure unit 10 includes aframe 12, anouter glass panel 11 facing the outside of a room, and aninner glass panel 11′ facing the inside of a room. The outer andinner glass panels frame 12, and cooperate with theframe 12 to confine a fluidtightreceiving space 13. Theframe 12 has abottom section 121, atop section 122, and twoside sections 126 connected transversely and respectively to the bottom andtop sections bottom section 121 is provided with afirst passage hole 123. Thetop section 122 is provided with asecond passage hole 124 staggered with thefirst passage hole 123, and amounting hole 125 proximate to thesecond passage hole 124. The first andsecond passage holes space 13. - A coolant, such as water, is filled into the
receiving space 13. - The temperature-responsive
flow control valve 20 is installed in themounting hole 125 of theglass structure unit 10, and has avalve casing 21, atemperature sensor 22, avalve member 23, and aspring member 24. Thevalve casing 21 has avalve cavity 211, aninlet port 212 provided on one side of thevalve casing 21 and connected fluidly to thesecond passage hole 124, and anoutlet port 213 provided on the other side of thevalve casing 21 and opposite to theinlet port 212. Thevalve cavity 211 has a smalldiameter hole section 214 communicating fluidly with theinlet port 212, a largediameter hole section 215 located on one side of the smalldiameter hole section 214 and communicating fluidly with theoutlet port 213, and a shoulder portion between the small and largediameter hole sections valve seat 216. Thevalve seat 216 defines avalve orifice 217. - The
temperature sensor 22 is attached to thevalve casing 21, and has a temperature-sensingportion 221 extending into thereceiving space 13, and an actuatingportion 222 disposed opposite to the temperature-sensingportion 221 and adjacent to the smalldiameter hole section 214. The actuatingportion 222 is a conventional thermo element containing temperature-responsive metal component - The
valve member 23 is disposed in thevalve casing 21, and is located on one side of thetemperature sensor 22. Thevalve member 23 has avalve disc 231 abutting against thevalve seat 216, and avalve stem 232 extending from a bottom portion of thevalve disc 231 and abutting against the actuatingportion 222. - The
spring member 24 is a compression spring, and is disposed in the largediameter hole section 215. Thespring member 24 has two opposite ends abutting respectively against a top wall of thevalve casing 21 and thevalve disc 231, and biases thevalve disc 231 to abut against thevalve seat 216 so as to close thevalve orifice 217. - The
coolant storage unit 30 is a cooling tower, and is connected fluidly to thefirst passage hole 123 of theglass structure unit 10 through apipe 31. In this embodiment, thecoolant storage unit 30 is installed at a position higher than that of thesecond passage hole 124. - Referring back to
FIGS. 1 and 3 , under normal conditions, the actuatingportion 222 of thetemperature sensor 22 is in an unexpanded state, and thevalve member 23 is at a closed position, that is, thevalve disc 231 abuts tightly against thevalve seat 216 through the biasing action of thespring member 24, so that thevalve orifice 217 is closed to interrupt the fluid communication between theinlet port 212 and theoutlet port 213. When theouter glass panel 11 is heated by sunrays, through the provision of the coolant in thereceiving space 13, the purpose of heat insulation and cooling are attained. - Since the
outer glass panel 11 is heated by sunrays, through heat conduction, the temperature of the coolant in thereceiving space 13 may be increased to a preset temperature, assuming the outside temperature is not excessively low and/or the sunrays are of sufficient strength. In this embodiment, the preset temperature is 30° C. Referring toFIG. 4 , in combination withFIG. 1 , when the temperature of the coolant reaches the preset temperature, the temperature-sensingportion 221 of thetemperature sensor 22 also increases in temperature to the preset temperature. This heat, which is at the preset temperature, is transferred from the temperature-sensingportion 221 to the actuatingportion 222 of thetemperature sensor 22. The actuatingportion 222 expands and thus actuates thevalve member 23. Thevalve disc 231 is thus moved away from thevalve seat 216, thereby opening thevalve orifice 217. At this time, as thecoolant storage unit 30 is higher than thesecond passage hole 124, the coolant in thecoolant storage unit 30 automatically flows into thereceiving space 13 through thefirst passage hole 123, and the coolant that is originally in thereceiving space 13 and that has reached the preset temperature flows out from thereceiving space 13 through thesecond passage hole 124, theinlet port 212, the smalldiameter hole section 214, thevalve orifice 217, the largediameter hole section 215, and theoutlet port 213. As such, a cooling effect is achieved. Since the actuatingportion 222 of thetemperature sensor 22 that can expand is known in the art, a detailed description of the same will be dispensed herewith. - When the temperature-sensing
portion 221 detects that the temperature of the coolant in thereceiving space 13 is below the preset temperature, the actuatingportion 222 contracts, and through the biasing action of thespring member 24, thevalve member 23 is restored from an opened position to the closed position, as shown inFIG. 3 . - Therefore, the present invention uses the temperature-responsive
flow control valve 20 to automatically detect the temperature of the coolant and to automatically permit the coolant to flow out from thereceiving space 13 when the temperature of the coolant reaches the preset temperature, so that not only can the anticipated heat insulation and cooling effects be achieved, but also the supply and exit of the coolant to and from thereceiving space 13 are made completely automatic. Hence, use of the present invention is relatively convenient. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , a cooling system according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown to be similar to the first preferred embodiment. However, in this embodiment, thecoolant storage unit 30 is installed at a position lower than that of thesecond passage hole 124. In this case, apump 40 is disposed between thecoolant storage unit 30 and thefirst passage hole 123. When the temperature of the coolant increases and reaches the preset temperature, thepump 40 is activated so as to replenish automatically thereceiving space 13 with the coolant. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , a cooling system according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown to be similar to the first preferred embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the temperature-sensingportion 221 of thetemperature sensor 22 of the temperature-responsiveflow control valve 20 is disposed externally of the receiving space 13 (seeFIG. 1 ) so as to detect the temperature of theglass structure unit 10. When the temperature of theglass structure unit 10 reaches the preset temperature, the actuatingportion 222 actuates thevalve member 23 to open thevalve orifice 217, thereby achieving the purpose of replenishing the coolant in the receivingspace 13. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what are considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretations and equivalent arrangements.
