Abstract
The solar evaporator is comprised of a parabolic dish structure and the evaporator located just outside of the focal point. The refrigerant, coming from the heat pump, circulates through the evaporator. After having been heated up by the concentrated solar heat, the refrigerant is routed to the heat pump which compresses the refrigerant so as to extract the maximum amount of heat collected. The goal is to continuously maximize the temperature differential at the receiving coil by keeping the refrigerant at the lowest temperature possible in order to maximize heat gains at the evaporator. Multiple parabolic dishes can work together wherein they are connected in parallel to the header. A sun tracking mechanism ensures that the dishes are always pointing towards the sun. The extract heat can be used for multiple purposes.
Description
SOLAR EVAPORATOR FOR A PARABOLIC SOLAR COLLECTOR USING HEAT PUMP
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates generally to solar heat collectors but more particularly to a solar evaporator located at the center of a parabolic solar collector using a heat pump with refrigerant.
2. Description of Related Art
[0002] When using solar concentrators, such as mirrors pointing to a central location where a heat collector is located, or using a reflective parabolic dish, the sun rays are focused at a focal point, which is a very small area but with very high temperature. At this focal point, a heat transfer liquid is circulated in order to retrieve the heat concentrated at that area. The liquid is then passed through a heat-exchanger to provide some use for that system. The drawback of such designs is that the return temperature of the heat exchanger is quite high, which reduces its capacity to absorb much of the heat from the collector, which is much higher than in the case of a refrigerant which decreases the absorption capacity and efficiency of the receiver at the focal center of the parabolic sensor by not maintaining a high temperature differential at the focal
center receiver. Consequently, a solar evaporator for a parabolic solar collector using a heat pump is provided.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The following presents a simplified summary of some embodiments of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention.

[0008] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent when the following detailed description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of an installation of a solar evaporator with a parabolic solar collector using a heat pump according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0010] FIGS. 2A-B are a cutaway view and close up detail respectively, of the receiving evaporator and dish according an embodiment of the present invention.
[0011] FIGS. 3A-B are exploded and isometric views respectively, of the evaporator and its frame structure according an embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0012] The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention and sets forth the best modes contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention. Various modifications, however, will remain readily apparent to those skilled in the art, since the general principles of the present invention have been defined herein to specifically provide a solar evaporator for a parabolic solar collector using a heat pump.
[0013] It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. The terms "a" or "an," as used
herein, are defined as to mean “at least one”. The term "plurality,” as used herein, is defined as two or more. The term "another," as used herein, is defined as at least a second or more. The terms "including" and/or "having," as used herein, are defined as comprising (i.e., open language). The term "coupled," as used herein, is defined as connected, although not necessarily directly, not necessarily mechanically, and not permanent. The term "providing" is defined herein in its broadest sense, e.g., bringing/coming into physical existence, making available, and/or supplying to someone or something, in whole or in multiple parts at once or over a period of time. As used herein, the terms "about", “generally”, or "approximately" apply to all numeric values, whether or not explicitly indicated. These teams generally refer to a range of numbers that one of skill in the art would consider near the stated amount by about 0%, 5%, or 10%, including increments therein. In many instances these terms may include numbers that are rounded to the nearest significant figure.
[0014] Referring now to any of the accompanying FIGS. 1 -3, the system of the present invention comprises a parabolic solar collector 10 having a multiple dish structure 12 and a reflective frame structure 13, wherein the reflective frame structure 13 is configured to hold a solar evaporator 14. In one embodiment, the solar evaporator 14 is comprised of a plurality of tubes 15. In one embodiment, the solar evaporator 14 is located proximal to a focal point 17 of the dish structure 12 and is connected to an input header 16 and an output pipe 22 from a heat pump 18. The position of the solar evaporator will be discussed in greater details below.
[0015] During use, a refrigerant travels through the inlet pipe 16 from the heat pump 18 and circulates through the evaporator 14, which evaporates the refrigerant, which is then routed back to the heat pump 18 via the outlet pipe 22. Advantageously, this compresses the evaporated
refrigerant such that the maximum amount of heat collected is extracted. Then, the extracted heat goes to a condenser coil 20, which is configured to provide heat for any purpose as well known in the art, including but not limited to heating living areas, heating water, such as a swimming pool, or to rotate a turbine to produce electricity.
[0016] In one embodiment, a temperature controlled valve 24 is positioned and installed near the solar evaporator 14 on the outlet pipe 22. This allows an ideal temperature differential to be maintained. In one embodiment, the temperature controlled valve 24 is regulated by a temperature sensor (not illustrated) which is configured to monitor the temperature as well known in the art.
[0017] In low sunlight situations, such as when there are clouds passing between the sun and the dish structure 12, the flow of refrigerant must be reduced in order to maintain a good temperature differential at the solar evaporator 14. The temperature sensor that is positioned on the outlet pipe 22 senses a lower temperature closes the temperature controlled valve 24 located on the incoming pipe 16 in order to maintain a good temperature differential at the solar evaporator 14. [0018] Advantageously, multiple parabolic dish structures 12 are configured to work together wherein they are connected in parallel to the heat pump 18 (as illustrated). In some embodiments, a sun tracking mechanism (not shown) can be used to ensure that the dishes are always pointing towards the sun, as well known in the art.
[0019] Regarding the position of the solar evaporator 14, in one embodiment, the solar evaporator 14 is positioned in a parallel along the inlet pipe 16 (as illustrated in FIG. 1). Advantageously, the solar evaporator has spacing in between the plurality of tubes 15 which
allows the sun rays to at least partially pass through* These rays passing through are reflected on a reflective plate 13 located behind the tubes 15, wherein the tubes are hit by the sun rays on the front, back and sides which increase the contact surface with the sun rays, reduce the energy Joss, and increase the energy gain.
[0020] In one embodiment, the solar evaporator 14 is located slightly outside of the focal point area 17 in order to benefit from a wider surface of contact of the sun rays with the evaporator grill. This allows for the capture of more energy in the refrigerant circuit by increasing the available surface of heat exchange.
[0021] In one embodiment, the plurality of tubes 15 and inlet and outlet pipes 16 and 23 respectively, are constructed of high heat conductivity material and are coated with a special black paint having 99.9% absorbency.
[0022] Although the invention has been described in considerable detail in language specific to structural features, it is to be understood that the invention defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features described. Rather, the specific features are disclosed as exemplary preferred forms of implementing the claimed invention- Stated otherwise, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein, as well as the abstract, are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. Therefore, while exemplary illustrative embodiments of the invention have been described, numerous variations and alternative embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Such variations and alternate
embodiments are contemplated, and can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[0023] It should further be noted that throughout the entire disclosure, the labels such as left, right, front, back, top, bottom, forward, reverse, clockwise, counter clockwise, up, down, or other similar terms such as upper, lower, aft, fore, vertical, horizontal, oblique, proximal, distal, parallel, perpendicular, transverse, longitudinal, etc. have been used for convenience purposes only and are not intended to imply any particular fixed direction or orientation. Instead, they are used to reflect relative locations and/or directions/orientations between various portions of an object.
[0024] In addition, reference to “first,” “second,” “third,” and etc. members throughout the disclosure (and in particular, claims) are not used to show a serial or numerical limitation but instead are used to distinguish or identify the various members of the group.
