Abstract

The present invention discloses a polymer solar collector comprising an absorption tube having a plurality of linear plates longitudinally installed on the outer surface, as well as a plurality of circular plates which are located parallel to the linear plates. It also has a plurality of X-shaped oblique plates on the outer surface, which are located in the spaces that are formed between the linear plates and the circular plates. This plate assembly is made of polymer, which allows greater absorption of thermal energy, which as a result more efficiently increases the temperature of the liquid that is inside the absorption tube. The polymer solar collector has greater mechanical strength due to the plurality of plates that make up the same, so that it is possible to operate at low and high working pressures, and it also makes it shock-resistant. Another feature of the present invention is that it has coupling means at the ends which enable two or more collectors to be connected in series with an attachment means, achieving a greater volume of the liquid that requires heating.

CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se relaciona con el campo técnico de la termodinámica, la energía térmica, las energías renovables, la física, y más específicamente con los calentadores solares ya que aporta un colector solar polimérico. The present invention is related to the technical field of thermodynamics, thermal energy, renewable energies, physics, and more specifically with solar heaters since it provides a polymeric solar collector.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Un colector solar, o captador solar, es un componente de una instalación solar térmica. El colector solar es un tipo de panel solar encargado de capturar la radiación solar y transformarla en energía térmica, la cual es conocida como energía renovable. A solar collector, or solar collector, is a component of a solar thermal installation. The solar collector is a type of solar panel in charge of capturing solar radiation and transforming it into thermal energy, which is known as renewable energy.
Los colectores de energía solar tienen muchas aplicaciones, ya sea en el uso doméstico o industrial . Solar energy collectors have many applications, whether in domestic or industrial use.
Existen de baja temperatura, los cuales transforman la energía solar para sistemas de calefacción y para el calentamiento de agua sanitaria. There are low-temperature ones, which transform solar energy for heating systems and for heating domestic water.
En entornos industriales lo más común es que la energía solar sea aprovechada para generar grandes cantidades de energía eléctrica a través de turbinas movidas por vapor de agua, así como también pueden ser utilizados para la climatización de piscinas, la esterilización de instrumentos, para cocinar, para lavar y, en definitiva, para cualquier destino que influya en el consumo eléctrico. Desde el punto de vista físico los captadores solares utilizan la termodinámica para para la transformación de la energía. In industrial environments, the most common is that solar energy is used to generate large amounts of electricity through turbines driven by steam, as well as being used for heating swimming pools, sterilizing instruments, cooking, etc. for washing and, ultimately, for any destination that influences electricity consumption. From the physical point of view, solar collectors use thermodynamics for the transformation of energy.
El tipo de colector solar se va a elegir dependiendo el uso y la eficiencia que se requiere. Si el requerimiento es para calentar una piscina a una temperatura de 25-28 grados Celsius, en primavera, es necesario un captador solar simple, ya que la temperatura ambiente estará dentro del rango requerido o posiblemente superior. En otro caso, si se pretende calentar un fluido a de 200°C será necesario un colector solar de concentración para concentrar la radiación solar y que sea transferida a un volumen pequeño de fluido. The type of solar collector will be chosen depending on the use and the efficiency that is required. If the requirement is to heat a pool at a temperature of 25-28 degrees Celsius, in spring, a simple solar collector is necessary, since the ambient temperature will be within the required range or possibly higher. In another case, if it is intended to heat a fluid to 200°C, a concentrating solar collector will be necessary to concentrate the solar radiation and have it transferred to a small volume of fluid.
En el mercado de la energía solar existen diferentes tipos de colectores solares térmicos: In the solar energy market there are different types of solar thermal collectors:
Colector solar de placa plana flat plate solar collector
El alma de un colector solar de placa plana es un enrejado vertical de tubos metálicos, que conducen el agua fría en paralelo, conectados por abajo por un tubo horizontal a la toma de agua fría y por arriba por otro similar al regreso. The soul of a flat plate solar collector is a vertical lattice of metal tubes that conduct cold water in parallel, connected below by a horizontal tube to the cold water intake and above by another similar one to the return.
La parrilla viene encajada en una cubierta normalmente con doble vidrio en la parte superior y aislante por detrás. The grill is embedded in a cover normally with double glass on top and insulation on the back.
Colector solar de tubos de vacío Evacuated Tube Solar Collector
En un colector solar de tubos de vacío los tubos metálicos se sustituyen por tubos de vidrio. Los tubos de vidrio están encapsulados, de uno en uno, en otro tubo de vidrio entre los que se hace el vacío como aislamiento. Las ventajas de los colectores solares de tubos de vacio son su alto rendimiento, y en caso de que uno de los tubos sufriera un daño, no es necesario cambiar todo el panel por uno nuevo, sólo se cambia el tubo afectado, la desventaja es que son de mayor precio . In an evacuated tube solar collector, the metal tubes are replaced by glass tubes. The glass tubes are encapsulated, one by one, in another glass tube between which a vacuum is made as insulation. The advantages of evacuated tube solar collectors are their high performance, and in the event that one of the tubes suffered damage, it is not necessary to change the entire panel for a new one, only the affected tube is changed, the disadvantage is that they are higher priced.
Colector solar de tubos de vacío con tubos de calor por cambio de fase Evacuated tube solar collector with phase change heat pipes
Los paneles solares que utilizan este sistema aprovechan el cambio de fase de vapor a líquido dentro de cada tubo, para entregar energía a un segundo circuito de líquido de transporte. Solar panels using this system take advantage of the phase change from vapor to liquid within each tube, to deliver energy to a second transport liquid circuit.
Los elementos son tubos cerrados que contienen el liquido que, al calentarse por el sol, hierve y se convierte en vapor. Estos tubos generalmente son de cobre. El vapor generado sube a la parte superior donde hay un cabezal más ancho (zona de condensación) . La parte exterior de la zona de condensación está en contacto con liquido transportador. Debido a que el liquido transformador está a una temperatura inferior al vapor del tubo capta el calor gracias a un proceso termodinámico de convección y provoca que el vapor se condense. El liquido condensado cae de nuevo en la parte baja del tubo para volver a empezar el ciclo. The elements are closed tubes that contain the liquid that, when heated by the sun, boils and turns into steam. These tubes are usually made of copper. The generated steam rises to the upper part where there is a wider head (condensation zone). The outer part of the condensation zone is in contact with the transporting liquid. Because the transformer liquid is at a lower temperature than the steam in the tube, it captures heat thanks to a thermodynamic convection process and causes the steam to condense. The condensed liquid falls back into the lower part of the tube to start the cycle again.
El liquido del tubo puede ser agua que tendrá un punto de ebullición bajo para trabajar incluso con la insolación de los rayos infrarrojos en caso de nube. El tubo de calor se puede envolver con materiales aislantes para minimizar las pérdidas por irradiación. The liquid in the tube can be water that will have a low boiling point to work even with the insolation of infrared rays in case of cloud. The heat pipe can be wrapped with insulating materials to minimize irradiation losses.
Finalmente, el tubo de calor se cierra dentro de otro tubo de vidrio entre los que se hace el vacio para aislar. Se suelen emplear tubos de vidrio resistente, para reducir los daños en caso de pequeñas granizadas. Finally, the heat pipe is closed inside another glass tube between which a vacuum is made to insulate. are usually Use resistant glass tubes to reduce damage in the event of small hailstorms.
Colector solar de concentración concentrating solar collector
Un colector solar de concentración es el que utiliza una técnica de concentración de la radiación solar para obtener altas temperaturas. Esta técnica se utiliza en las instalaciones solares de alta y muy alta temperatura. A concentration solar collector is one that uses a technique of concentration of solar radiation to obtain high temperatures. This technique is used in high and very high temperature solar installations.
Dependiendo de la aplicación energética que se le quiere dar existen diferentes tecnologías para aplicar esta técnica de obtención de energía renovable. De este modo, podemos encontrar, colectores solares de cilindro parabólico u hornos solares de concentración para obtener temperaturas mayores. Depending on the energy application that you want to give it, there are different technologies to apply this technique for obtaining renewable energy. In this way, we can find parabolic trough solar collectors or concentration solar furnaces to obtain higher temperatures.
