The invention discloses a
solar water heater with the sterilization function, and relates to the technical field of
solar energy application. The
solar water heater with the sterilization function comprises heat collection pipes, a
water storage tank and a high-performance
magnalium support. A heater-preservation layer and a heater-preservation shell are arranged on the
water storage tank, a water outlet is formed in the bottom of the
water storage tank, and the top of the
water storage tank is provided with an anti-explosion valve and an air hole. The heat collection pipes comprise vacuum outer
pipe bodies, wherein each vacuum outer
pipe body is composed of coaxial glass pipes arranged on two
layers, and an interlayer of each vacuum outer
pipe body is vacuum; the upper end of each vacuum outer pipe body is provided with a water inlet, and an inner cavity of each vacuum outer pipe body is plated with a TiO2 nanometer
coating; each heat collection pipe further comprises an inner pipe body, the lower end of each inner pipe body extends into the inner cavity of the corresponding vacuum outer pipe body, and the upper end of each inner pipe body is communicated with the
water storage tank. The TiO2 nanometer coatings are excited by
ultraviolet light in sunshine, strong-oxidizing free radical groups are generated on the surfaces of the TiO2 nanometer coatings, oxidative
decomposition is conducted on various organic pollutants in water through the strong-oxidizing free radical groups, and
bacteria and viruses in the water are killed; sterilized cold water is heated through the inner pipe bodies of the heat collection pipes to form hot water, and the hot water enters the
water storage tank to be stored and used. According to the
solar water heater with the sterilization function,
solar energy is directly utilized, and both the purpose of sterilization and disinfection and the purpose of obtaining the hot water are achieved.
