Solar composite tube, solar composite bed comprising the same, and solar cold and heat supply system comprising solar composite bed

Abstract

A solar composite tube, including a solar vacuum tube having two open ends; a water path; an adsorbent; and an adsorbate. The solar vacuum tube includes an outer metal tube and an inner metal tube which are coaxially disposed inside the solar vacuum tube. The water path is formed between the outer metal tube and the solar vacuum tube; the adsorbent is disposed between the outer metal tube and the inner metal tube and is configured to exchange heat with water in the water path outside the outer metal tube; the inner metal tube includes a plurality of through holes; the adsorbate is disposed in the inner metal tube; and the adsorbate and the adsorbent form an adsorption-desorption working pair. The invention also provides a solar composite bed including a lower header, an upper header, and the solar composite tube.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solar composite tube in this invention has a cooling function that allows for heat storage during the day and recovery of the stored heat during the night. This is achieved by a sub-system that cycles adsorbate and water. The use of this tube improves the efficiency of solar energy utilization.

Problems solved by technology

Although, solar composite tubes may also be used for heat collection, conventional solar composite tubes have low heat supply efficiency, and have almost no heat storage capacity.

In addition, solar energy supply fluctuates with the Earth's rotation around the sun and also is adversely affected by bad weather.
