. L. ROMAN] WINDMILL AND HEAT PUMP SET Filed Oct. 8, 1949 we/ NE Patented Sept. 22, 1953 OFFICE WINDMILL AND HEAT PUMP SET Lucien Romani, Paris, France Application October 8, 1949, Serial No. 120,236 In France November 16, 1948 9 Claims. 1
The windmill is obviously a possible solution for the fulfillment of the requirements of smallremote working plants such as farms, sawmills located in the hills, alluvial operations etc.
Difiiculties unfortunately are encountered that arise above all from the limited productive capacity of the windmill when there is only a slight breeze blowing or there is no wind, taken together with the well known drawbacks of any power-storage system.
The windmill, as a general rule, is asked to convert mechanical power from the air into electrical energy. Now use is not made always of the whole of the power electrically. Cooking, heating, and many other purposes lead to dissipation of the electric power, which is not economical since one kilowatt-hour theoretically gives only 860 kilo heat units (in practice this is from 700 to 750). Furthermore, as electric storage is a very heavy item of expenditure, heat storage is called in when possible by means of water heating and storage radiators, but this equipment is fairly expensive.
One object of this invention is to provide an arrangement for making the best possible use of the power supplied by a windmill wheel and for this purpose plans to combine a windmill with a heat pump that is actuated by a portion of the power supplied by the Windmill.
Another object of this invention is to provide for the best possible use simultaneously of the power and of the heat units of the wind. A further object of this invention is to benefit from the conditions prevailing at the top of a windmill tower'for operating a heat pump.
Two embodiments of a windmill-heat pump-set according to the invention have been shown in quite a diagrammatic way as examples that are not to be regarded in any way as restrictive.
In these drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevationalview of the upper portion of a windmill of which the fairing'is illus-' trated in horizontal section and encloses a heat pump in closed circuit.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of a heat pump set in open circuit.
In the example illustrated in Fig. l, the windmill wheel-heat pump set includes an ordinary windmill wheel of the leeward pattern of which the shaft 2 rests in bearings 3 of a support 4 carried by the upper end of a tower 5*and that may turn round the axis of this tower. In front of the wheel I is a hollow fairing or hub' 6 with double wall 1, 8, of which the outer wall I is stream-lined. At the entry of thisfairing 6 is 2 arranged an evaporator I0 forming part of a heat pump of standard pattern of which the compressor II is fastened on the bearing 3 that is farthest away from the wheel I and connected through a transmission I2 to the shaft 2 of the windmill wheel. At the end of the latter shaft is keyed a fan I3 arranged to the rear of the evaporator II). The space I4 included between the two walls 'I and 8 of the fairing 6 encloses the condenser I5 of the heat pump, connected on the one hand, through a pipe I6 to the discharge of the compressor II and, on the other hand, to a chamber I'I arranged in the nose and in the lower part of the fairing 6; a pipe I 8 connects the outlet of the evaporator I0 to the compressor II. The space I4 contains, besides, the-water to be heated and is connected through piping Ma and I 4b, housed inside the tower 5, on the one hand, to a supply I 40 of water delivery and, on the other hand, to a delivery circuit of warm water. A turn joint 22 ,is arranged at a suitable point of the pipe system I 4a. The actual piping l4b emerges into an annular tank I4d arranged at the upper portion of the tower and into which is admitted, so that it may turn round the axis of the tower, a pipe I 4e coming from the lower portion of the space I 4.
The shaft 2 of the windmill wheel is connected furthermore, in the standard way, by bevel gears I9, 20 to a rotating shaft 23 that is coaxial with the tower and that goes down to the foot of the tower. The pipe I4a goes inside this rotating shaft 23.
The windmill works exactly in the customary way but its shaft 2 drives in addition the compressor II through the transmission gear l2 and the fan I3 that thus quickens the ventilation through the evaporator I 0 and promotes the heat exchanges. The cold-producing fluid with low heat of vaporisation is contained in the chamber I1 and circulates in the evaporator I0, the pipe I8, the compressor II, the pipe l6, the condenser I5 where it condenses in cooling and is thus heating the water contained in the space I4, then returns to the chamber I I. The heat pump thus formed is of the standard closed circuit pattern.
In the modified form of execution shown in Fig. 2, the only alteration is in the pattern of heat pump that in this case has an open circuit, that is to say that the air itself is used as intermediary fluid. On this drawing, the parts that remain unaltered are denoted by the same reference numbers as on Fig. 1. The pipe I8 for feeding the compressor with cold-producing fluid is replaced by a combining-cone Ilia, open towards the upflow side to the free air and with its axis parallel with that of the wheel i so as to face the actual oncoming wind shown by the arrow F; the coil l5 acts no longer as a condenser but merely as a heat exchanger and emerges no longer into a tank of cold-producing fluid but through the inlet 24 into an expansion engine 2| housed in the fairing 6 and linked up to the shaft 2, from which it escapes through the outlet 25 into the open atmosphere. The remaining energy of the compressed air after its cooling in the exchanger [5 will then be recovered. Such a heat pump may be. of advantage in certain warm and dry climates, where the condensation of the water vapour is not to.
be feared on expansion.
The invention, of course, is in no way restricted to the details of execution as illustrated or disclosed that have been presented only as examples.
