This utility model discloses a photovoltaic-thermal module for an
evaporator, including a photovoltaic module, a heat absorber plate, a heat absorption channel, and a frame. A
junction box is provided inside the photovoltaic module. The heat absorber plate is fixedly connected to the back of the photovoltaic module, and the heat absorption channel is fixedly connected to the heat absorber plate.
Refrigerant circulates within the heat absorption channel. The heat absorption channel includes a manifold and
branch pipes. The manifold has a closed design at both ends and is connected to a connecting
pipe. The
branch pipes are internally threaded thin tubes with a
diameter of 3-10 mm. Both ends of the
branch pipes are connected to the manifold, and one or more semi-circular bends are provided along the length of the same branch
pipe. Using this photovoltaic-thermal module significantly reduces the risk of photovoltaic panel deformation and microcracks in the solar cells, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces costs, and optimizes heat exchange efficiency.
