Solar energy is a
surface energy source. Both theory and practice have proved that the most efficient solar collector is a through-hole flat box solar collector made of
metal materials. In this collector, the sun-absorbing surface is covered with heat to be heated Medium, heat exchange is the most direct and rapid, and the heat conduction distance is the shortest. However, the
metal material that can withstand hot water
corrosion for a long time is
copper. This structure requires a large amount of
copper.
Copper is very expensive, the weld is very long, and the manufacturing process is complicated. , the manufacturing cost is very high, it is difficult to
mass-produce and use
[0004]The main
disadvantage of the vacuum
glass tube is: the vacuum
glass tube is composed of a coaxial inner and outer glass tube, one end is closed, the vacuum is drawn between the inner and outer tubes, the outer tube is transparent, and the inner tube External surface covered with black sun absorbing
coatingBecause the vacuum layer, sealing ring, dustproof ring, stock, etc. must be used, the black
sunlight absorbing surface only accounts for about 60% of the lighting
projected area, and part of the
sunlight passes through the gap between the black surfaces and is not utilized. The heat collection efficiency is reduced during the
noon period; the vacuum degree continues to decrease during use, reducing the heat preservation effect; a closed blind
tube structure is easy to precipitate water alkali and impurities in the water, reducing the heat exchange area. The blind
tube structure makes the glass tube account for the total About 20% of the heated water cannot be released for use, which further seriously reduces the
thermal efficiency; the
internal bonding force of the
sunlight absorbing
coating formed at low temperature is an
intermolecular force, the structure is unstable, and the sunlight
absorption rate is easy to decay. This is the current
solar water heater. Common shortcomings of sunlight absorbing coatings; glass tubes are made of
borosilicate glass with a
melting temperature of 1650°C,
high energy consumption and high price of
boron oxide; these shortcomings lead to high manufacturing costs,
high energy consumption and
short life of vacuum glass tubes. The
thermal efficiency is not high, and it decays with time. Generally, the effective service life is about 10 years
[0005] The main disadvantages of the
copper tube plate solar collector are: the sunlight
absorption rate of the sunlight absorbing
coating is easy to attenuate; the copper material is very expensive and requires electrolytic purification, and the manufacturing cost and
energy consumption are high; the lateral interval of the heat collecting copper tube is large, and the heat conduction distance Far, affect the efficiency; welds are easy to corrode; the
diameter of the heat collecting copper tube is relatively small, all the heat in the collector is transferred through the heat collecting copper tube The channel will be significantly reduced, which will affect the heat collection efficiency; the double circulation method needs to increase the
heat exchanger, which will increase the manufacturing and use costs, and the side of the
heat exchanger in contact with water is prone to
fouling; the general effective service life is 10-25 years
The service life of the existing glass
vacuum tube and
metal plate
solar water heater (heater) system is less than 15 years, and the service life of the building is 50 to hundreds of years
[0021] There are two obvious energy losses during the working process of the above-mentioned flat-plate solar thermal collection system. As the temperature rises, the solar
radiation during this period can account for about one-third of the full-day solar
radiation. Second, the hot water in the collector cools naturally. This part of energy can account for the full-day sunlight according to the
water capacity of different collectors. One-eighth to one-fifth of the
radiant energy
