Definitions
- the invention relates to modular elements made of insulating material for building storage basins, made of insulating materials, comprising at the interior at least one network element, to a network obtained by assemblying the modular elements, to a supporting structure and to a process for building a storage basin by assemblying the modular elements.
- the patent US2002017070 describes an expanded plastic module destined for building an insulated concrete wall structure, by assembling the modules and filling them with concrete.
- the module is made of expanded polystyrene.
- Each module has the form of a rigid block, having an interior configuration designed to be filled with concrete.
- a network of steel or plastic bars is being introduced inside the modules.
- the disadvantage of this technical solution consists in a high rate of concrete consumption, flow problems when casting the concrete, due to the form of the internal channels, positioned perpendiculary along the vertical and horizontal axes; also, a too complex construction and aditional manual working, brought about by the network of bars.
- Modular elements for constructions are known from R0123373. The disadvantage of this solution is the difficulty of fabrication said modular elements.
- the patent GB1 170103 describes a element for construction made of an insulating material, for arched structures like domes, having a network of inner vertical and oblique channels.
- the disadvantage of this technical solution is casting the concrete each time after one row of the dome like construction is built, implying high costs and supplementary time for the labour. Moreover, it does not permit the distribution of concrete between the successive layers of construction elements.
- the problem solved by this invention is the achievement of a higly energy effective storage basin with a supporting structure adequate for the pressure exerted by the stored material.
- the purpose of this invention is the achievement of a storage basin without concrete forming elements, by a simple and economic process.
- the technical solution consists in the use of modular elements for building a thermically insulating structure, having at the interior a network of channels in which a hardening material constituting the supporting structure is cast.
- the modular element according to the invention removes the previously mentioned disadvantages, as it comprises a body having a superior face, an inferior face, an interior face, an exterior face and lateral faces extending vertically between the superior and inferior face, said body comprising at the inside at least two oblique channels and at least a vertical channel, the vertical channel being provided between the oblique channels, the vertical channel uniting the superior face with the inferior face of the body, said channels communicating between them forming at least a main half joint, the oblique channels opening to the superior face or the inferior face and to the lateral faces and extending from the median zone at least of the superior face of the body to the median zones of the lateral faces of the body, forming the secondary half joints, the vertical channels opening to the superior and inferior faces forming the main half joints and tertiary half joints, the modular element having joint elements for the connection to other modular elements.
- the modular element according to the invention removes previous disadvantages as it comprises a U profile having a horizontal bottom face with at least one vertical channel, an interior and an exterior wall representing coaxial cylinder sectors and a lid having an upper horizontal face with at least one vertical channel and assemblage elements with the U profile, the modular element being also provided with joint elements for the connection to other modular elements.
- the network obtained by assembling the modular elements removes the previously mentioned disadvantages, as it is made up of horizontal annular channels, and main, secondary and tertiary joints, connected by vertical and oblique channels.
- the unitary supporting structure according to the invention removes the above mentioned disadvantages, as it is obtained by casting a material that hardens in the network according to the invention.
- the storage basin according to the invention removes the previously mentioned disadvantages as it is made up of a unitary supporting structure inside an insulating structure, obtained by assembling the modular elements.
- the process for building the storage basin according to the invention removes the disadvantages mentioned above as it comprises successive steps of assembling the modular elements in both horizontal and vertical planes for the formation of 1-5 rows, followed by casting a hardening material in the network thus created, and placing on top of a metallic structure on which insulating plates are layd, constituting a thermically insulating lid of the basin.
- the modular elements according to the invention are made of synthetic foams based on polyurethanes, polyimides, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, amino resins, phenolic resins, silicones, expanded polystyrene, sodium silicate.
- the material to be cast in the network according to the invention, in order to harden and to form the supporting structure of the storage basin may be one of the following: concrete, reinforced concrete, polyesther resins, epoxy resins, polyurethane resins.
- the storage basin can take any shape, preferably cylindrical, as the discharges are unitary, requiring a less supporting structure. For high or inequable pressures, higher density foams are used, increasing the costs.
- the storage basin can be used for storage of a thermic agent heated during the warm season by solar panels or any other convenient heat source, the thermic agent being used during the cold season for heating the house water or the living space.
- the heat transfer from the thermic agent to the house heating system or to the house water is made by any adequate means, preferably by coils.
- the thermic agent used may be water, sand or any other material adequate for such use. If the thermic agent is water, unmineralized water is preffered.
- the storage basin may be also used for the storage of a cooling agent during the cold season, ice for example, using it for cooling, in order to obtain conditioned air for cooling a living space during the warm season.
- the main joint is defined as the geometrical position determined by the intersection of vertical and oblique channels.
- the secondary joint is defined as the geometrical position determined by the intersection of oblique channels.
- the tertiary joint is defined as the geometrical position determined by the intersection of vertical channels.
- the main half-joint is defined as a part of a main joint.
- the secondary half-joint is defined as a part of a secondary joint.
- the tertiary half-joint is defined as a part of a tertiary joint.
- a network element is a part of the network achieved by assembling the modular elements.

Description
MODULAR ELEMENT FOR STORAGE BASIN CONSTRUCTION, SUPPORTING STRUCTURE, METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF
Technical field
The invention relates to modular elements made of insulating material for building storage basins, made of insulating materials, comprising at the interior at least one network element, to a network obtained by assemblying the modular elements, to a supporting structure and to a process for building a storage basin by assemblying the modular elements.
Background art
The patent US2002017070 describes an expanded plastic module destined for building an insulated concrete wall structure, by assembling the modules and filling them with concrete. For example, the module is made of expanded polystyrene. Each module has the form of a rigid block, having an interior configuration designed to be filled with concrete. Aditionally, for increasing the strenght, a network of steel or plastic bars is being introduced inside the modules. The disadvantage of this technical solution consists in a high rate of concrete consumption, flow problems when casting the concrete, due to the form of the internal channels, positioned perpendiculary along the vertical and horizontal axes; also, a too complex construction and aditional manual working, brought about by the network of bars. Modular elements for constructions are known from R0123373. The disadvantage of this solution is the difficulty of fabrication said modular elements.
The patent GB1 170103 describes a element for construction made of an insulating material, for arched structures like domes, having a network of inner vertical and oblique channels. The disadvantage of this technical solution is casting the concrete each time after one row of the dome like construction is built, implying high costs and supplementary time for the labour. Moreover, it does not permit the distribution of concrete between the succesive layers of construction elements.
The problem solved by this invention is the achievement of a higly energy effective storage basin with a supporting structure adequate for the pressure exerted by the stored material.
The purpose of this invention is the achievement of a storage basin without concrete
forming elements, by a simple and economic process.
The technical solution consists in the use of modular elements for building a thermically insulating structure, having at the interior a network of channels in which a hardening material constituting the supporting structure is cast.
Disclosure of the invention
The modular element according to the invention removes the previously mentioned disadvantages, as it comprises a body having a superior face, an inferior face, an interior face, an exterior face and lateral faces extending vertically between the superior and inferior face, said body comprising at the inside at least two oblique channels and at least a vertical channel, the vertical channel being provided between the oblique channels, the vertical channel uniting the superior face with the inferior face of the body, said channels communicating between them forming at least a main half joint, the oblique channels opening to the superior face or the inferior face and to the lateral faces and extending from the median zone at least of the superior face of the body to the median zones of the lateral faces of the body, forming the secondary half joints, the vertical channels opening to the superior and inferior faces forming the main half joints and tertiary half joints, the modular element having joint elements for the connection to other modular elements.
The modular element according to the invention removes previous disadvantages as it comprises a U profile having a horizontal bottom face with at least one vertical channel, an interior and an exterior wall representing coaxial cylinder sectors and a lid having an upper horizontal face with at least one vertical channel and assemblage elements with the U profile, the modular element being also provided with joint elements for the connection to other modular elements.
The network obtained by assembling the modular elements removes the previously mentioned disadvantages, as it is made up of horizontal annular channels, and main, secondary and tertiary joints, connected by vertical and oblique channels. The unitary supporting structure according to the invention removes the above mentioned disadvantages, as it is obtained by casting a material that hardens in the network according to the invention.
The storage basin according to the invention removes the previously mentioned disadvantages as it is made up of a unitary supporting structure inside an insulating structure, obtained by assembling the modular elements.
The process for building the storage basin according to the invention removes the
disadvantages mentioned above as it comprises succesive steps of assembling the modular elements in both horizontal and vertical planes for the formation of 1-5 rows, followed by casting a hardening material in the network thus created, and placing on top of a metallic structure on which insulating plates are layd, constituting a thermically insulating lid of the basin.
The modular elements according to the invention are made of synthetic foams based on polyurethanes, polyimides, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, amino resins, phenolic resins, silicones, expanded polystyrene, sodium silicate.
The material to be cast in the network according to the invention, in order to harden and to form the supporting structure of the storage basin may be one of the following: concrete, reinforced concrete, polyesther resins, epoxy resins, polyurethane resins.
Storage basins are thus obtained, having a very good heat transfer coefficient (U= 0,08 W/m2K) and resisting to a pressure of an water column of 10 m high. The storage basin can take any shape, preferably cylindrical, as the discharges are unitary, requiring a less supporting structure. For high or inequable pressures, higher density foams are used, increasing the costs.
The storage basin can be used for storage of a thermic agent heated during the warm season by solar panels or any other convenient heat source, the thermic agent being used during the cold season for heating the house water or the living space. The heat transfer from the thermic agent to the house heating system or to the house water is made by any adequate means, preferably by coils. The thermic agent used may be water, sand or any other material adequate for such use. If the thermic agent is water, unmineralized water is preffered.
The storage basin may be also used for the storage of a cooling agent during the cold season, ice for example, using it for cooling, in order to obtain conditioned air for cooling a living space during the warm season.
The main joint is defined as the geometrical position determined by the intersection of vertical and oblique channels.
The secondary joint is defined as the geometrical position determined by the intersection of oblique channels.
The tertiary joint is defined as the geometrical position determined by the intersection of vertical channels.
The main half-joint is defined as a part of a main joint.
The secondary half-joint is defined as a part of a secondary joint.
The tertiary half-joint is defined as a part of a tertiary joint.
A network element is a part of the network achieved by assembling the modular elements.
The following advantages are obtained by using this invention:
1. the achievement of a storage basin with appropriate strenght structure and very good heat insulation, withouth any elements of concrete forming, using a simple and cost effective process;
2. shorter time for building the construction, compared to traditional processes;
3. reduced consumption of hardening material for obtaining the supporting structure. Brief description of drawings
