[0006] In the photovoltaic-thermal curtain wall ventilation system with phase change temperature control of the present invention, when the solar cells of the photovoltaic-thermal curtain wall assembly receive solar radiation to generate electricity, the heat generated by the solar cells during power generation can be absorbed by the phase change material layer, enabling the solar cells to work at a better temperature, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cells. Subsequently, by controlling the opening and closing of the outer curtain wall air inlet, the outer curtain wall air outlet, the inner curtain wall air inlet, the inner curtain wall air outlet, and the circulating water pump, the heat stored in the phase change material layer can be applied to different scenarios, thereby realizing the efficient integrated utilization of photovoltaic-thermal energy in the building curtain wall and improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of solar energy.

[0009] Further, in the photovoltaic-thermal curtain wall ventilation system with phase change temperature control, in order to better control the circulation system, an electric valve is arranged between the circulation water pump and the hot water storage tank.

The phase change material layer can be an aluminum container filled with a phase change material, and fins are vertically arranged at intervals on one side of the aluminum container close to the micro heat pipe array, which is beneficial to realizing the uniform distribution of heat inside the phase change material layer and enhancing the heat transfer performance of the phase change material layer at the same time.

The phase change temperature range of the phase change material can be adjusted by changing the formula of the phase change material; adding graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal powder, expanded graphite to the phase change material can increase the thermal conductivity of the phase change material.

[0016] I. When the outdoor temperature is relatively high, the outer curtain wall air inlet is opened, the outer curtain wall air outlet is opened, the inner curtain wall air inlet is closed, the inner curtain wall air outlet is closed, and the circulation water pump is closed; while the solar cell receives solar radiation to generate electricity, the generated heat energy causes the temperature of the photovoltaic-thermal curtain wall component to rise, and the phase change material layer can absorb the heat energy to maintain the temperature of the solar cell at a relatively low level. At the same time, part of the heat energy is taken away by the air in the outer circulation through heat exchange with the phase change material layer after passing through the outer curtain wall air inlet, the cavity, and the outer curtain wall air outlet, thereby further reducing the temperature of the solar cell and playing a role in improving the power generation efficiency of the solar cell.

When it is necessary to collect heat energy while generating electricity, the outer curtain wall air inlet is closed, the outer curtain wall air outlet is closed, the inner curtain wall air inlet is closed, the inner curtain wall air outlet is closed, and the circulating water pump is turned on; the heat energy of the solar cells absorbed by the phase change material layer is transferred to the micro heat pipe array; then, the heat transfer medium in the micro heat pipe array is heated and evaporated and transferred to the upper side of the micro heat pipe array; finally, the heat transfer medium condenses and flows back and transfers the heat energy to the heat exchange pipe, and the heat energy is stored in the hot water storage tank through the circulating water in the heat exchange pipe. All air inlets are closed during the heat energy collection process, so that solar energy can be better collected and the utilization rate of solar energy by the photovoltaic-thermal curtain wall module can be improved.
[0018] III. When the indoor temperature is relatively low, the outer curtain wall air inlet is closed, the outer curtain wall air outlet is closed, the inner curtain wall air inlet is opened, the inner curtain wall air outlet is opened, and the circulating water pump is turned off; the heat energy of the solar cells absorbed by the phase change material layer is exchanged with the phase change material layer by the inner-circulating air through the inner curtain wall air inlet, the cavity, and the inner curtain wall air outlet and then enters the room, increasing the indoor temperature and thus improving the indoor thermal comfort.

At this time, the cavity acts as a heat preservation layer, reducing the indoor heat load, being beneficial to maintaining the indoor temperature and ensuring thermal comfort.
[0020] V. When ventilation is required, the outer curtain wall air inlet is opened, the outer curtain wall air outlet is opened, the inner curtain wall air inlet is opened, the inner curtain wall air outlet is opened, and the circulating water pump is turned on; at this time, fresh outdoor air can directly enter the room to ensure the indoor air quality.

[0021] VI. When it is necessary to reduce indoor heat loss while ventilating, the outer curtain wall air inlet is opened, the outer curtain wall air outlet is closed, the inner curtain wall air inlet is closed, the inner curtain wall air outlet is opened, and the circulating water pump is turned off; at this time, fresh outdoor air can enter the room through the outer curtain wall air inlet, the cavity, and the inner curtain wall air outlet. The fresh air exchanges heat with the phase change material layer in the cavity and is heated up, thus providing fresh air for the room and playing a role in preheating the fresh air, improving the indoor environmental quality.
