Abstract
A solar collector with external reflector. A solar collector includes a glass housing having a heat pipe disposed within the housing and a light reflector disposed external to the housing.
Description
- This application is a continuation and claims priority from copending U.S. application Ser. No. 10/829,700, filed Apr. 22, 2004, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application 60/464,429, filed Apr. 22, 2003, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The invention is directed to a collector having an externally disposed nonimaging reflector and more particularly is directed to a solar collector with a heat pipe positioned within an evacuated glass tube with an externally disposed nonimaging reflector.
- It was recognized more than 20 years ago, that combining selective absorbers, vacuum insulation and nonimaging concentration (using Compound Parabolic Concentrator, or “CPC”, type optics as shown in
FIG. 9A-9C ) enabled stationary mid-temperature collectors to have a useful operating range approaching 300 degrees Celsius”. Following the early proof-of-concept experiments, a commercial collector was developed in the last 5-years with good performance up to 250 degrees Celsius. These configurations integrated all the optics within the vacuum envelope. For this reason we refer to them as ICPC's (integrated CPC's). Their cost of manufacture is presently too high for widespread applications. On the other hand, the advent of very low-cost evacuated tubes allows us now to consider these as candidates for low-cost mid-temperature applications. One can combine various of these features to use such low-cost tubes (intended as stand-alone low-temperature collectors for providing domestic hot water) as receivers and now combined with external nonimaging reflectors. Since these glass tubes were originally intended for low-temperature (domestic hot water) use, their use at higher temperatures raised issues such as providing for efficient heat transfer to a working fluid, and assuring against thermal-induced tube breakage. - A solar collector which is efficient at temperatures in the 125 to 150 degree Celsius above ambient range would therefore be of great utility for many high-value applications. For example, operating temperatures for solar cooling in conjunction with double-effect chillers are in this range. At the same time the collector component would need to be low-cost, have minimal operation and maintenance cost and long life. The external reflector form of a CPC has the potential for satisfying these criteria. The vacuum receiver has intrinsically long-life, being protected from the environment. The impressive commercial development of vacuum solar collectors in China over the last decade and more demonstrates that these can be manufactured and sold at low-cost. To give an example; in the year 2000 the all-glass dewar type solar tube made in China was available at an OEM cost of $3 US. Since the volume of manufacturing has been rising, prices are not increasing. It is significant to observe that a wide-angle CPC reflector will “unwrap” the cylindrical solar tube to an aperture of approximately 0.2 square meters. Therefore the vacuum component contributes $15 per square meter to the cost. The heat extraction device which may be a manifold likely adds a similar amount. The nonimaging reflector can be estimated at $20 per square meter, which is dominated by the material cost for a high quality aluminum mirror. An installed cost of approximately $100 per square meter would be a reasonable goal. The availability of an efficient mid-temperature solar collector for $100 per square meter would have a broad vista of applications.
- A solar collector system is directed to a combination of a heat pipe disposed within a housing which is at least partially transparent to light with the housing preferably evacuated. The heat pipe includes a copper pipe and coupled aluminum heat transfer fins disposed about the heat pipe. The fins are molded to optimize thermal contact with the heat pipe and interior surface of the housing. The solar collector further includes a reflector assembly externally disposed to the housing to simplify construction and costs of manufacture. Preferably the reflector is a nonimaging design.

FIG. 12A shows a plot of thermal performance of collector test number C370 with wind;FIG. 12B shows the performance without wind. - In accordance with the invention, two types of preferred combination of solar collectors 12 (concentrators or receivers) are described, including an all glass dewar-
type tube 11 and a heat-pipe 10 in a conventional evacuated tube 13 (seeFIGS. 4A , 4B and 5). The dewar-type 11 is very low-cost since it is made in large quantities by a large number of manufacturers and uses a very low-cost borosilicate glass tubing. Good heat transfer poses technical challenges, and our experiments with a heat transfer compound to couple thetube 11 to amanifold 20 gave encouraging results. The preliminary mid-temperature performance obtained with a test panel with dewar tubes is compared with that predicted by a simple model shown inFIG. 1 . The heat-pipe evacuated tube 13 (seeFIG. 4B ), uses the same very low-cost glass tubing. The heat transfer is accomplished in an elegant way by the incorporation of theheat pipe 10 within the evacuatedtube 13 which in turn is disposed in a full panel array 15 (seeFIGS. 4A , 4B and 5). Theheat pipe 10 ofFIGS. 4A and 4B includes acopper heat pipe 16 and contoured aluminumheat transfer fins 18 with theheat pipe 10 inserted into theglass tube 14 sandwiched between twoaluminum fins 18. Thefins 18 are molded to maximize contact with theheat pipe 10 and the inside surface of the evacuatedglass tube 14. Theheat pipe 10 transfers heat to the manifold 20 shown inFIG. 5 via heat transfer liquid inside thehollow heat pipe 10. The hollow centre of theheat pipe 10 includes a vacuum, so that at even at temperatures of around 25-30 C.° the well known heat transfer compound will vaporize. When heated the vapor rises to the tip (condenser) of theheat pipe 10 where the heat is transferred to the water flowing through the manifold 20. The loss of heat causes the vapor to condense and flow back down theheat pipe 10 where the process is once again repeated. The preliminary mid-temperature performance obtained with the prototype heat-pipe version is shown inFIG. 2 . The performance limit of known CPC-type vacuum solar collectors (not shown) can be gauged fromFIG. 3 . In this type of solar device both absorber and nonimaging concentrating optics are encased in an integral glass envelope, and this is called the integrated CPC or ICPC. Commercial collectors of this type have a higher cost than the all glass dewar type withexternal CPC reflectors 22 ofFIGS. 6-8 . However, it does indicate a practical and realizable performance upper limit for the stationary nonimagingsolar collectors 12. One can further combine the advantages of the low-cost all-glass evacuated receiver with the heat pipe. As shown inFIGS. 4A , 4B and 5, theheat pipe 10 and absorber fin assembly is inserted in the double-walled evacuatedtube 14 and theheat pipes 10 are inserted into the simple flow-throughheat exchanger manifold 20. There is no fluid connection, which is one of the chief advantages of a heat application, but appears sufficiently robust to withstand stagnation temperatures. Various examples of performance of a conventional evacuated tube but externally disposed reflector (without the heat pipe 10) are shown in Examples I-III wherein collector test results are shown inFIGS. 6-8 for the collector configurations. These tests were made by Solartechnik Prüifung Forschung, located in Bern, Switzerland. - While preferred embodiments have been illustrated and described, it should be understood that changes and modifications can be made therein in accordance with one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the invention in its broader aspects.
- The following non-limiting examples describe various embodiments and associated performance test results.
