Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geothermal exploration and geotechnical engineering testing, and particularly relates to a cold-heat bidirectional geotechnical thermal response testing system and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the development and utilization of ground source heat pump systems of shallow geothermal energy, accurately obtaining the thermal physical parameters (such as the thermal conductivity and the volumetric specific heat) of underground rock-soil is the key basis for system design and performance optimization. The traditional rock-soil thermal response testing (TRT) method for obtaining these parameters usually relies on fixedly installed equipment, and only through the constant heat injection of hot water circulation mode to the underground buried pipe for unidirectional heating, the thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat of rock-soil are obtained by measuring the inlet and outlet water temperature and then inversion. However, this test method considering only a single heat injection mode has significant limitations, because the actual ground source heat pump system needs to alternately release cold load (in the cooling season) and heat load (in the heating season) to the underground in the whole year operation, and the thermal response characteristics of rock-soil to cold and heat two different working conditions are different. The unidirectional heat injection test method cannot accurately simulate and reflect the absorption and diffusion characteristics of underground rock-soil to cold load in actual operation, resulting in insufficient accuracy of system design according to the test results.
[0003] In addition, the traditional TRT system mostly adopts large fixed devices, and has single function, lacks integrated and portable design, and is time-consuming and laborious in field layout and use. At the same time, it has obvious short board in data acquisition, real-time analysis and intelligent diagnosis, and is difficult to obtain more rich test information and carry out deep analysis, and cannot meet the needs of current increasingly refined ground source heat pump system engineering design for accurate evaluation of rock-soil heat exchange capacity, especially actual heat exchange capacity under cold-heat alternating working conditions.

[0022] Example 1 like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: The application discloses a cold and hot bidirectional rock-soil heat response testing system which comprises a water storage part 1, an inner circulation part 2, an outer circulation part 3, a rock-soil collection part, a control part 4 and an analysis part, wherein the inner circulation part 2 and the outer circulation part 3 are connected with the water storage part 1, a thermoelectric refrigeration module 23 for heating or refrigerating water is arranged in the inner circulation part 2, a detection part and a valve part can be arranged in the inner circulation part 2 and the outer circulation part 3, the detection part and the valve part are connected with the control part 4, the rock-soil collection part is arranged along buried pipes at different depths in a buried heat exchanger, and the analysis part collects and processes data of the collection part, water temperature and running time.
[0023] According to the structure, water in the water storage part 1 is heated or refrigerated by the thermoelectric refrigeration module 23 in the inner circulation part 2 according to actual testing requirements, the water at a predetermined temperature is input into the buried heat exchanger, is returned to the water storage part 1 after heat exchange with soil in the buried pipe of the buried heat exchanger, the rock-soil collection part dynamically monitors rock-soil body temperatures at different depths, the control part 4 is used for controlling and adjusting water temperature, valve opening time and power source opening time, the analysis part automatically inverses the heat conductivity and the heat diffusion rate according to collected data such as inlet and outlet water temperature, rock-soil temperature, flow rate and running time, and outputs a testing curve, and finally the efficient rock-soil heat response testing is realized.
[0024] As an example, the inner circulation part 2 can comprise a first water inlet pipe 21, a first pump body 22, the thermoelectric refrigeration module 23, a first water outlet pipe 24 and a heat exchange system 25, the water inlet of the first pump body 22 is connected with the first water inlet pipe, the water outlet pipe of the first pump body 22 is connected with the first water outlet pipe 24, the thermoelectric refrigeration module 23 is arranged on the first water outlet pipe 24, and the heat exchange system 25 is in contact with the thermoelectric refrigeration module 23. The thermoelectric refrigeration module 23 can comprise a first heat conduction plate 26, a second heat conduction plate 27 and a refrigeration fin group 28, the refrigeration fin group 28 is arranged between the first heat conduction plate 26 and the second heat conduction plate 27, and plate heat exchangers are arranged on end faces of the first heat conduction plate 26 and the second heat conduction plate 27 and away from the refrigeration fin group 28. The first heat conduction plate 26 and the plate heat exchanger thereon are arranged in the first water outlet pipe 24, the second heat conduction plate 27 and the plate heat exchanger thereon are arranged in the heat exchange system 25, and the heat exchange system 25 can be a direct-current water source outside.
[0025] Based on the above structure, when the detection system requires hot water for detection, by controlling the current direction of the thermoelectric cooling module 23, the contact part between the cooling chip assembly 28 and the first heat-conducting plate 26 releases heat, and the liquid in the first water outlet pipe 24 is heated through the plate heat exchanger; at this time, the contact part between the cooling chip assembly 28 and the second heat-conducting plate 27 absorbs heat, and the cold energy of the second heat-conducting plate 27 and its plate heat exchanger can be removed by the external direct current water source, so as to avoid ice formation on the second heat-conducting plate 27, thereby affecting the overall heat exchange efficiency.
[0026] Conversely, when the detection system requires cold water for detection, by controlling the current direction of the thermoelectric cooling module 23, the contact part between the cooling chip assembly 28 and the first heat-conducting plate 26 absorbs heat, and the liquid in the first water outlet pipe 24 is cooled through the plate heat exchanger; at this time, the contact part between the cooling chip assembly 28 and the second heat-conducting plate 27 releases heat, and the heat of the second heat-conducting plate 27 and its plate heat exchanger can be removed by the external direct current water source, so as to avoid the temperature on the second heat-conducting plate 27 from being too high, thereby affecting the overall heat exchange efficiency.
[0027] This solution uses the change in current direction of the thermoelectric cooling module 23 to control the water flow on one side of the upper heat-conducting plate to raise or lower the temperature, thereby achieving heating / cooling functions respectively, accurately simulating the operation of a ground source heat pump under summer cooling load and winter heating load. In this solution, only one side of the thermoelectric cooling module 23 is used for heat exchange with the water circulation (i.e., the first heat-conducting plate 26), while the other side (the second heat-conducting plate 27) is used for heat dissipation or cold absorption. The heating and cooling functions are achieved by switching the current polarity, eliminating the need for physical switching of the heat exchange surface, thus improving system stability and compactness.
[0028] As an example, the cooling chip assembly 28 can consist of 24 cooling chips (4×6), which are attached to the upper and lower heat-conducting plates respectively to form a sandwich heat exchange structure; a plate heat exchanger is connected to the outside of the heat-conducting plates. A thermoelectric cooler is a semiconductor device manufactured based on the Peltier effect. When current passes through a PN junction composed of different types of semiconductor materials, heat is absorbed on one side and released on the other, thus regulating the temperature difference between the cold and hot ends. It features a compact structure, no moving parts, bidirectional heat exchange, and high response speed. A typical Peltier module, such as the TEC1-12709, contains 127 pairs of thermocouples, operates at approximately 12V, and has a maximum operating current of approximately 9A, making it suitable for low- to medium-power thermal management applications. One side of the module is attached to the cold source heat exchange surface (releasing cold energy), and the other side is attached to the hot source heat exchange surface (discharging heat). In this invention, multiple Peltier modules are sandwiched between upper and lower heat-conducting plates in a 4×6 array structure, forming a highly efficient sandwich heat exchange structure. The cold end is used for cooling in a chilled water system, and the hot end is used for auxiliary heating in a hot water system, forming a complementary cooling and heating cycle.
[0029] As an example, the outer circulation part 3 can include a second water outlet pipe 31, a second water inlet pipe 32 and a second pump body 33; the second pump body 33 is arranged on the second water outlet pipe 31, the second water outlet pipe 31 is connected with the water inlet of the ground pipe heat exchanger, and the second water inlet pipe 32 is connected with the water outlet of the ground pipe heat exchanger; A first temperature sensor 311, a first pressure gauge 312, a first flow sensor 313 and a first flow regulating valve 314 are arranged at the connection between the second water outlet pipe 31 and the ground pipe heat exchanger; A second temperature sensor 321, a second pressure gauge 322, a second flow sensor 323 and a second flow regulating valve 324 are arranged at the connection between the second water inlet pipe 32 and the ground pipe heat exchanger; Based on the above structure, the outer circulation part 3 circulates the water in the water storage part 1 to the ground pipe heat exchanger; the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor and the flow sensor are used to test the temperature, pressure and flow of the liquid entering and leaving the ground pipe heat exchanger, respectively, to provide data support for later detection, and the flow regulating valve is used to control the flow of the entire pipeline.
[0030] As an example, a third temperature sensor 241 and a third flow sensor 242 can also be arranged on the first water outlet pipe 24; the third temperature sensor 241 and the third flow sensor 242 are used to detect the temperature and flow of the water outlet by the thermoelectric refrigeration module 23.
[0031] As an example, an electric heating device 11 and a fourth temperature sensor 12 can also be arranged in the water storage part 1; the electric heating device 11 is used to assist in heating the liquid in the water storage part 1 in the heating mode, and the fourth temperature sensor 12 is used to directly detect the temperature of the water body in the water storage part 1, so that the later control is more flexible.
[0032] As an example, the first pump body 22 is a small direct-current water pump, and the second pump body 33 is a 200w micro centrifugal pump; the centrifugal pump can realize stepless frequency conversion, and can more flexibly provide power for the outer circulation part 3.
[0033] As an example, the control part 4 can adopt PLC or embedded processor, and the control part 4 integrates the power supply control of the thermoelectric refrigeration module 23, the start-stop control of the electric heating device 11, the flow temperature acquisition, the automatic switching of cold and hot working conditions, the electromagnetic valve control and data recording; the system has higher energy efficiency, longer module life and more comprehensive functions.

[0049] Six, overall application scope; The device is suitable for ground source heat pump system buried heat exchange response test, short-term soil thermal parameter inversion, heat exchange capacity verification and other test scenes, and has: (1) Bidirectional control of refrigeration and heating; (2) High-precision closed-loop temperature control capability; (3) Real-time data acquisition and remote control capability; (4) Modular structure, easy to move and expand; The device of the application is composed of two sets of functionally independent and mutually cooperative water circulation systems, which are respectively used for: 1. Temperature control circulation system (small water tank-upper heat-conducting plate-small water tank); This is a closed-loop internal circulation system, mainly responsible for accurate control of water temperature, and is the core path to realize bidirectional simulation of cold and hot; Water is pumped from the small water tank by a small water pump and flows through the inside of the upper heat-conducting plate. The upper heat-conducting plate is embedded with a thermoelectric refrigeration piece (Peltier module), which can heat or cool the water flow by adjusting the current direction. The water controlled by the heat-conducting plate is returned to the small water tank, forming a closed loop. The water circuit is equipped with temperature sensors (outlet) and flow sensors for PID control closed-loop adjustment. The temperature-controlled water circuit can quickly respond and stabilize the temperature, providing a constant temperature water source for the ground pipe injection. In heating mode, auxiliary electric heaters in the water tank can also be used to improve the heating rate and efficiency. The temperature control accuracy can be better than ±0.5°C, and the system supports 0.2~0.3L / s flow rate operation.
[0050] 2. Ground pipe circulation system (water tank-ground pipe-water tank).
[0051] This is an external open-loop / closed-loop circulation system that simulates the water injection process of underground heat exchange pipes in actual engineering. After temperature control, the water is driven by a variable frequency water pump and injected into a buried pipe with a depth of 100~200m from the water tank. The water returns to the water tank after heat exchange with the soil in the buried pipe, forming a large flow heat exchange circulation. The water circuit is equipped with inlet and outlet temperature sensors, pressure gauges, flow meters, etc. for data collection and thermal response analysis. The system supports setting the flow rate according to the "GBT 19409-2017" standard, generally 0.2L / s (12L / min). The water tank also serves as a temperature control buffer and buried water receiving function. If used for refrigeration testing, it is recommended that the external water source be pre-cooled (with ice) before entering the water tank to improve cooling efficiency and reduce Peltier load.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
