The pressure-bearing heat storage tank is operated under pressure, and the heat storage temperature is not affected by the altitude, but the tank is under positive pressure, so that the pressure-bearing heat storage tank is a pressure container, which needs to be inspected by a special equipment inspection research institute, and the cost of the pressure-bearing heat storage tank is high, and the installation qualification level is high, so that the investment cost is greatly increased if it is used in high-altitude areas. SUMMARY

The inner end of the first connecting pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, and the first water distribution pipe and / or the first connecting pipe is provided with a first water distribution hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the first water distributor is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank via a first mounting bracket.
[0013] Furthermore, the second water distributor includes a water collecting cylinder sleeved on the connecting pipe. The side wall of the water collecting cylinder is hollow.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this application.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figure 1As shown, a high-altitude atmospheric pressure heat storage tank includes a tank body 1. A heat insulation plate 2 is installed inside the tank body 1, dividing the internal space of the tank body 1 into two parts, from top to bottom: an ineffective heat storage zone 11 and an effective heat storage zone 12. A connecting pipe 3 is provided on the heat insulation plate 2, extending downwards perpendicularly to the heat insulation plate 2. The lower end of the connecting pipe 3 extends to the bottom of the tank body 1, and the effective heat storage zone 12 is connected to the ineffective heat storage zone 11 through the connecting pipe 3.
[0032] In one specific embodiment, the heat insulation plate 2 described in this example has a first mounting hole extending vertically through the heat insulation plate 2. The upper end of the connecting pipe 3 is inserted into the first mounting hole and fixedly connected to the heat insulation plate 2 by welding. The upper end of the connecting pipe 3 is flush with the upper side surface of the heat insulation plate 2. For example, the connecting pipe 3 is located at the geometric center of the heat insulation plate 2.
[0033] A first water distributor 4 is provided at the lower part of the effective heat storage zone 12, and the first water distributor 4 is connected to the connecting pipe 3. A second water distributor 5 is provided at the upper part of the effective heat storage zone 12, and the second water distributor 5 is connected to the first water passage pipe 61 provided in the tank body 1, but the second water distributor 5 is not connected to the connecting pipe 3.
[0034] As one specific implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first water distributor 4 in this embodiment includes several concentrically arranged first water distribution pipes 41 in a ring structure and multiple first connecting pipes 42 arranged radially and uniformly, and each of the first connecting pipes 42 is connected to the first water distribution pipe 41. For example, the first water distributor 4 includes three layers of first water distribution pipes 41 and 12 first connecting pipes 42, with an included angle of 30° between two adjacent first connecting pipes 42.
[0035] The inner end of the first connecting pipe 42 is inserted into the connecting pipe 3, and the lower end of the connecting pipe 3 is provided with second mounting holes evenly distributed along the circumferential direction to accommodate the first connecting pipe 42. For example, the first connecting pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 3 by welding.
[0036] Both the first water distribution pipe 41 and the first connecting pipe 42 are provided with first water distribution holes. For example, the first water distribution hole on the first water distribution pipe 41 extends through the first water distribution pipe 41 in the vertical direction, and the first water distribution hole on the first connecting pipe 42 extends through the first connecting pipe 42 in the vertical direction.
[0037] As one specific implementation method, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second water distributor 5 in this embodiment includes a water collection cylinder 51, which is coaxially sleeved outside the connecting pipe 3. The sidewall of the water collection cylinder 51 is hollow. For example, the water collection cylinder 51 includes two circular end plates 511. An inner cylinder 512 and an outer cylinder 513, coaxially arranged with the end plates 511, are disposed between the two end plates 511. The outer cylinder 513 is sleeved outside the inner cylinder. The upper and lower ends of the inner cylinder are fixedly connected to the end plates 511 by welding, and the upper and lower ends of the outer cylinder 513 are fixedly connected to the end plates 511 by welding. The end plates 511 are provided with clearance holes 5111 for accommodating the connecting pipe 3. Preferably, the diameter of the clearance hole 5111 is equal to the inner diameter of the inner cylinder. The inner cylinder, outer cylinder 513, and end plate 511 together form an annular cavity.
[0038] The water collection cylinder 51 is coaxially provided with several second water distribution pipes 52 in a ring structure and multiple second connecting pipes 53 arranged radially and evenly, with each second connecting pipe 53 connected to a second water distribution pipe 52. The inner end of the second connecting pipe 53 is connected to a cavity in the side wall of the water collection cylinder 51. For example, the first water distributor 4 includes three layers of second water distribution pipes 52 and 12 second connecting pipes 53, with an included angle of 30° between two adjacent second connecting pipes 53. For example, the outer cylinder 513 of the water collection cylinder 51 is evenly provided with multiple third mounting holes along the circumferential direction, each corresponding to a second connecting pipe 53. The inner end of the second connecting pipe 53 is inserted into the corresponding third mounting hole and fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 513 by welding.
[0039] The second water distribution pipe 52 and the second connecting pipe 53 are both provided with second water distribution holes 54. For example, the second water distribution holes 54 are all located at the lower part of the second water distribution pipe 52 and the second connecting pipe 53.
[0040] The first water pipe 61 is arranged radially, with its outer end extending through the tank body 1 to the outside of the tank body 1, and is sealed to the tank body 1. Exemplarily, the first water pipe 61 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1 by welding. The inner end of the first water pipe 61 communicates with a cavity inside the outer wall of the water collection cylinder 51. Exemplarily, a fourth mounting hole is provided on the outer cylinder 513 of the water collection cylinder 51, and the inner end of the first water pipe 61 is inserted into the fourth mounting hole and fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 513 by welding.
[0041] For example, the outer end of the first water pipe 61 is provided with a connecting flange 611.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a second water pipe 62, connected to the ineffective heat storage zone 11, is provided on the tank body 1 above the heat insulation plate 2. A first vent pipe 71, connected to the ineffective heat storage zone 11, is provided on the top of the tank body 1.
[0043] The working process of an atmospheric pressure heat storage tank suitable for high-altitude areas, as provided in this application embodiment, is as follows:
[0044] During heat storage, the hot water, heated by the heating element, is pumped by the circulating pump through the first water pipe 61 into the second water distributor 5 located above the effective heat storage zone 12. From there, it slowly and evenly enters the effective heat storage zone 12 of the heat storage tank. Due to the lower density of hot water and the higher density of cold water, the hot water is located in the upper layer of the effective heat storage zone 12, while the cold water is located in the lower layer. As the amount of hot water in the effective heat storage zone 12 increases, the cold water in the lower layer enters the ineffective heat storage zone 11 through the first water distributor 4 and the connecting pipe 3, and finally re-enters the heating element through the second water pipe 62 to complete one heat storage cycle.
[0045] During heat release, the cold water, after heat exchange with the heat exchanger, is pumped by the circulating pump through the second water pipe 62 into the second water distributor 5 located at the lower part of the effective heat storage zone 12, and then slowly and evenly enters the effective heat storage zone 12 of the heat storage tank through the first water distributor 4. As the amount of cold water in the effective heat storage zone 12 increases, the hot water located at the top will flow out through the second water distributor 5 from the first water pipe 61, and finally re-enter the heat exchanger to complete one heat release cycle.
[0046] The ineffective heat storage zone 11 at the top of the heat storage tank forms a water seal with the effective heat storage zone 12 located below the insulation plate 2. Utilizing the principle of hydrostatic pressure, the effective heat storage zone 12 maintains a pressure of one atmosphere even at high altitudes. Under the action of hydrostatic pressure, the heat storage temperature of the effective heat storage zone 12 in the heat storage tank increases. Tests have shown that the heat storage temperature of the effective heat storage zone 12 located below the heat storage tank can reach over 95℃. Furthermore, the higher the water seal height (i.e., the liquid level height within the ineffective heat storage zone 11), the higher the heat storage temperature achievable by the effective heat storage zone 12, with a maximum temperature reaching 99℃.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the heat insulation plate 2 is provided with a second exhaust pipe 72 that communicates with the effective heat storage zone 12. The second exhaust pipe 72 extends through the top side wall of the tank 1 to the outside of the tank 1, and the second exhaust pipe 72 is sealed to the tank 1. In one specific embodiment, the second exhaust pipe 72 is fixedly connected to the tank 1 by welding. By providing the second exhaust pipe 72, the gas below the heat insulation plate 2 can be discharged outside the heat storage tank, preventing the formation of gas cavities within the effective heat storage zone 12 of the heat storage tank, thus avoiding corrosion problems.
[0048] Furthermore, the lower end of the connecting pipe 3 abuts against the bottom surface of the tank 1, so that during the heat release and heat storage process, the water in the effective heat storage zone 12 can only enter and exit the connecting pipe 3 through the water distribution hole of the first water distributor 4. This helps to ensure the stability of the interface between cold water and hot water and avoids disturbance to the cross section between cold water and hot water.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first water distributor 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank 1 via a first mounting bracket. In one specific embodiment, multiple first mounting brackets are axially arranged on the first connecting pipe 42 of the first water distributor 4.
[0050] The first mounting bracket includes a support frame and a U-bolt 81 disposed on the support frame. The first connecting pipe 42 is clamped and fixed between the U-bolt 81 and the support frame.
[0051] In one specific embodiment, the support frame described in this example includes a crossbeam 82, with legs 83 at both ends of the crossbeam 82 for supporting it. The lower ends of the legs 83 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tank 1 by welding, and the upper ends of the legs 83 are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 82 by welding. The open end of the U-bolt 81 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 82. For example, the legs 83 are inclined, the two legs 83 are symmetrical, and the distance between the two legs 83 gradually increases in the direction away from the crossbeam 82.
[0052] Furthermore, the second water distributor 5 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation plate 2 via a second mounting bracket (not shown in the figure). In one specific embodiment, multiple second mounting brackets are axially arranged on the second connecting pipe 53 of the second water distributor 5.
[0053] The structure of the second mounting bracket is the same as that of the first mounting bracket, and the structure of the second mounting bracket will not be described in detail here.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] The first water distributor 4 has a plurality of first water distribution holes evenly distributed on its first water distribution pipe 41 or first connecting pipe 42. Second water distribution holes 54 located on the second water distribution pipe 52 penetrate the second water distribution pipe 52 in a vertical direction, and second water distribution holes 54 located on the second connecting pipe 53 penetrate the second connecting pipe 53 in a vertical direction. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0056] Example 3
[0057] The inner end of the first water pipe 61 is connected to the second water distribution pipe 52 located on the outermost layer, and the rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0058] Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this application by combining, splitting, or reorganizing the embodiments of this application do not exceed the protection scope of this application.
