Problems solved by technology

However, the application of ejector heat pump cooling systems outside of mass market applications has not been commercially successful, at least in part because efficient and low-cost mass production of suitable ejectors has proven to be a challenge.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Embodiments of the invention relate to a method of manufacturing a component of a solar energy system, such as an injector.

[0042] First refer to figure 1 , describes a method 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. Further details of the method will refer to the following Figure 2 to Figure 8 described further.

[0043] Method 10 includes an initial step 12 of providing a tube, for example composed of copper or other suitable material. The material of the tube is chosen such that when the tube is exposed to an appropriate pressure differential between the inside of the tube and the outside of the tube, the material of the tube deforms. As will be described in more detail further below, the tube may include a portion machined such that the diameter of the tube is locally reduced. Step 14 provides a mold having a cavity arranged to receive a length of tubing. The cavity defines a shape related to the shape of the solar system component.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a component of a solar energy system. The method comprises the step of providing a tube. The tube comprises a material that deforms when at least a length of the tube is exposed to a suitable difference in pressure between an interior portion of the length of the tube and an exterior portion of the length of the tube. The method also comprises providing a die having a cavity arranged to receive the length of the tube. The cavity defines a shape that is related to that of the component of the solar energy system. Further, the method comprises positioning the length of the tube in the cavity of the die. The method also comprises increasing a relative pressure of a fluid within the interior portion of the length of the tube relative to a pressure within the cavity and outside the interior portion of the length of the tube such that at least a portion of the length of the tube expands at to a shape that is related to that of the component of the solar energy system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a solar system component, in particular, but not exclusively, a method of manufacturing an injector for a solar system such as a solar cooling system. Background technique [0002] Cooling systems such as air conditioners and refrigeration units require considerable amounts of electrical energy, which is often generated from fossil fuels associated with pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. [0003] Photovoltaic solar panels can be used to convert sunlight into electricity, which then powers the cooling system's compressors. This reduces fossil fuel consumption, but is relatively inefficient and relatively expensive in capital. [0004] Steam driven jet heat pump cooling systems have been used to air condition very large spaces in buildings with fossil fuel powered steam boilers. However, the application of ejector heat pump cooling systems outside of large-scale market applications has not...
