Detailed Implementation

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] The purpose of this invention is to provide a matrix clamping heat recovery control system and method that can improve energy utilization.

[0054] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the matrix clamping heat recovery control system provided by the present invention includes: a solar collector 1, a temperature sensor 2, multiple primary water tanks 3, a working water tank 4, a regulating valve 11, and a heating furnace 6.

[0056] Specifically, regulating valve 11 is a proportional regulating valve.

[0057] The primary water tank 3 includes a water supply end, a water inlet end, a water outlet end, and a water consumption end; multiple primary water tanks 3 are connected in parallel at their water inlets and in parallel at their water outlet ends; the water supply ends and water consumption ends of the multiple primary water tanks 3 are connected sequentially, leaving one water consumption end and one water supply end after the multiple primary water tanks 3 are connected in series; the primary water tank 3 containing the remaining water consumption end is the first primary water tank 3; the water supply end of the first primary water tank 3 is connected to the water supply end of the working water tank 4; the remaining water supply end is used to supply water to the multiple primary water tanks 3 and the working water tank 4; the water consumption end of the working water tank 4 is connected to the water supply end of the working water tank 4 through a return water pipe; the water inlet end of the working water tank 4 is connected to the water outlet end of the heating furnace 6; the water outlet end of the working water tank 4 is connected to the water inlet end of the heating furnace 6.

[0058] Specifically, the next water tank 3 connected in series with the first water tank 3 is the second water tank 3; the next water tank 3 connected in series with the second water tank 3 is the third water tank 3; the next water tank 3 connected in series with the third water tank 3 is the fourth water tank 3, and so on until the Nth water tank 3; N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0059] The outlet of collector 1 is connected to the inlet of primary water tank 3; the inlet of collector 1 is connected to the outlet of primary water tank 3.

[0060] Temperature sensors 2 are installed in multiple primary water tanks 3 and working water tanks 4.

[0061] Each of the multiple primary water tanks 3 is equipped with a regulating valve 11 at its inlet end.

[0062] Specifically, the regulating valve 11 at the inlet of the first-stage water tank 3 is the first regulating valve 11; the regulating valve 11 at the inlet of the second-stage water tank 3 is the second regulating valve 11; the regulating valve 11 at the inlet of the third-stage water tank 3 is the third regulating valve 11; the regulating valve 11 at the inlet of the fourth-stage water tank 3 is the fourth regulating valve 11; and so on until the regulating valve 11 at the inlet of the Nth-stage water tank 3 is the Nth regulating valve 11; where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0063] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the matrix clamping heat recovery control system further includes a three-way valve 12; the three-way valve 12 is connected to the water supply end of the first-stage water tank 3, the water supply end of the working water tank 4, and the return water pipe, respectively. Using the three-way valve 12, both the first-stage water tank 3 and the working water tank 4 can be heated simultaneously. Furthermore, through the three-way valve 12, hot water is supplied from the working water tank 4 to the user end, and under the circulation of the heat circulation pump 8, it returns to the working water tank 4 or the first-stage water tank 3 via the return water pipe.

[0064] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the matrix clamping heat recovery control system further includes a collector circulating water pump 7 and a heater circulating water pump 5; the collector circulating water pump 7 is installed on the connecting pipeline between the outlet end of the collector 1 and the inlet end of the primary water tank 3; the heater circulating water pump 5 is installed on the connecting pipeline between the inlet end of the working water tank 4 and the outlet end of the heater 6.

[0065] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the matrix clamping heat recovery control system further includes a heat circulation water pump 8; the heat circulation water pump 8 is installed on the hot water circuit.

[0066] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the matrix clamping heat recovery control system further includes an inlet pressure sensor and an outlet pressure sensor; the inlet pressure sensor is installed on the connecting pipe between the outlet of the collector 1 and the inlet of the primary water tank 3; the outlet pressure sensor is installed on the connecting pipe between the inlet of the collector 1 and the outlet of the primary water tank 3.

[0067] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the matrix clamping heat recovery control system also includes a controller; specifically, the controller is an industrial computer; the controller is connected to the regulating valve 11, the collector circulating water pump 7, the heating furnace circulating water pump 5 and the heat circulating water pump 8 respectively; the data collected by the temperature sensor 2, the inlet pressure sensor and the outlet pressure sensor are transmitted to the controller.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the matrix clamping heat recovery control method provided by the present invention includes:

[0069] Step 101: Set the maximum temperature; temperature thresholds include: maximum temperature, intermediate temperature, maximum temperature difference, and minimum temperature difference. Temperature thresholds also include the minimum temperature.

[0070] Specifically, during actual operation, the working water tank 4 requires temperature control within a certain range. If the temperature exceeds the limit, customers may easily get scalded when using the faucet. If the temperature is below a certain level, customers will experience discomfort and feel that the water is cold.

[0071] Furthermore, the maximum temperature is set to 50℃; the minimum temperature is set to 42℃; the intermediate temperature is set to 1℃; the maximum temperature difference is set to 12℃; and the minimum temperature difference is set to 3℃.

[0072] The data collected by temperature sensor 2, inlet pressure sensor and outlet pressure sensor are transmitted to the controller; the controller is an industrial computer; the hot water circulation pump 8, the heating furnace circulation pump 5, the solar collector circulation pump 7 and the proportional regulating valve all execute the commands output by the controller after calculation.

[0073] Multiple primary water tanks 3 are arranged in an "array". The heating sequence starts from the first primary water tank 3. When the temperature of the first primary water tank 3 reaches the intermediate temperature of 46℃, the second primary water tank 3 is heated step by step. After the second primary water tank 3 reaches the intermediate temperature of 46℃, the third primary water tank 3 is heated step by step, and so on, until the last primary water tank 3 is heated to the intermediate temperature of 46℃.

[0074] Step 102: Determine whether the temperatures of the multiple primary water tanks meet the set temperature threshold; if not, heat the multiple primary water tanks; specifically including:

[0075] Determine whether the temperature difference between collector 1 and the current primary water tank 3 is greater than or equal to the highest temperature difference. If so, open the regulating valve 11 of the current primary water tank 3, close the regulating valve 11 of the remaining primary water tanks 3, and start the collector circulating water pump 7.

[0076] Specifically, the temperature data collected by the temperature sensor 2 of the solar collector 1 is compared with the temperature data collected by the temperature sensor of the first-stage water tank 3. When the temperature of the solar collector 1 minus the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is ≥12℃, the first regulating valve is opened, and the second, third, fourth, ..., Nth regulating valves are closed. At the same time, the solar collector circulating water pump 7 is turned on, and the solar collector 1 heats the first-stage water tank 3.

[0077] Determine whether the temperature difference between collector 1 and the current temperature of primary water tank 3 is less than or equal to the minimum temperature difference; if so, shut down collector circulating water pump 7.

[0078] Specifically, when the temperature of collector 1 minus the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is less than or equal to 3°C, the collector circulating water pump 7 stops working and the first regulating valve 11 remains 100% open.

[0079] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, determine whether the current temperature of the primary water tank 3 is higher than the intermediate temperature; if so, control the opening of the regulating valve 11 of the primary water tank 3; specifically including:

[0080] The opening of the regulating valve 11 of the current primary water tank 3 is gradually reduced by PID control; the opening of the regulating valve 11 of the next primary water tank 3 connected in series with the current primary water tank 3 is gradually increased to ensure that the temperature of the current primary water tank 3 is not lower than the intermediate temperature. It is determined whether the temperature of the current primary water tank 3 is greater than the maximum temperature; if so, the regulating valve 11 of the current primary water tank 3 is closed.

[0081] Specifically, when the temperature of the first stage water tank 3 is higher than the intermediate temperature of 46℃, the controller gradually reduces the opening ratio of the first regulating valve 11 through PID calculation. When the temperature of the first stage water tank 3 is higher than the maximum temperature of 50℃, the first regulating valve 11 is closed.

[0082] Furthermore, as the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 gradually rises and exceeds the intermediate temperature of 46℃, the controller calculates and opens the second regulating valve 11, controlling its opening ratio. That is, when the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is 46℃, the controller outputs a control command that makes the opening ratio of the second regulating valve 11 0. When the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is higher than 46℃, the second regulating valve 11 opens proportionally according to the control command output by the controller. While ensuring that the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 does not fall below 46℃, the controller's PID calculations open the second regulating valve 11 to heat the second-stage water tank 3. When the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 exceeds 50℃, the first regulating valve 11 is closed, and the second regulating valve 11 and the collector circulating water pump 7 are fully opened to begin heating the second-stage water tank 3. Similarly, the heating steps for the first-stage water tank 3 are repeated for the second-stage water tank 3 until the temperature of the Nth-stage water tank 3 exceeds 50℃, at which point the Nth regulating valve 11 is closed. This completes the heating of multiple primary water tanks 3.

[0083] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, step 103: switch the heat circulation according to the temperature of the first-stage water tank; specifically including:

[0084] Determine if the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is lower than the intermediate temperature; if so, connect the three-way valve 12 to the water supply end of the working water tank 4 and the return water pipe, and start the heating furnace circulating water pump 5.

[0085] When the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is lower than the intermediate temperature of 46℃, the three-way valve 12 connects the water supply end of the working water tank 4 with the return water pipe, and turns on the heating furnace circulating water pump 5 to use the heat from the working water tank 4 to "heat and maintain" the pipeline.

[0086] Determine if the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 is greater than the intermediate temperature; if so, connect the water supply end of the first-stage water tank 3 to the return water pipe with the three-way valve 12, and shut off the heating furnace circulating water pump 5.

[0087] When the temperature of the first-stage water tank 3 exceeds the intermediate temperature of 46℃, the three-way valve 12 connects the water supply end of the first-stage water tank 3 to the return water pipe, shutting off the heating furnace circulating water pump 5. While maintaining the heat and circulating, the heat circulation water pump 8 can be used to heat the working water tank 4 from the first-stage water tank 3. This control method is particularly suitable for hot water systems that use hot water at night, making full use of solar energy and reducing the need to turn on the heating furnace 6.

[0088] like Figure 7 As shown, step 104: Replenish the working water tank with water based on the water pressure data at the inlet and outlet of the first-stage water tank. Specifically, this includes:

[0089] Water replenished to the working water tank 4 flows into multiple primary water tanks 3 through the remaining replenishment end, and then enters the working water tank 4 through the water supply end of the first primary water tank 3.

[0090] Specifically, if the client starts using water, water is first supplied from the working water tank 4. The working water tank 4 is replenished by the first-stage water tank 3. Similarly, the first-stage water tank 3 is replenished by the second-stage water tank 3, the second-stage water tank 3 is replenished by the third-stage water tank 3, and so on. Finally, cold water is replenished from the Nth-stage water tank 3.

[0091] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, collector 1 is a solar collector 1 or other heat recovery source; primary water tank 3 and working water tank 4 are both volumetric water exchange tanks. The traditional solar water heating control steps are as follows:

[0092] Step 201: Heating the primary water tank.

[0093] Specifically, the process involves comparing the temperature measured by temperature sensor 2 of collector 1 with the temperature measured by temperature sensor 2 of primary water tank 3. When the difference between the temperature of collector 1 and the temperature of primary water tank 3 is ≥ 12℃ (where 12℃ is a settable temperature), the collector circulation pump 7 is activated, using water circulation to heat the primary water tank 3 via collector 1. When the difference between the temperature of collector 1 and the temperature of primary water tank 3 is ≤ 3℃ (where 3℃ is a settable temperature), the collector circulation pump 7 is deactivated. This cycle continues, with collector 1 heating the primary water tank 3.

[0094] Step 202: The working water tank is replenished with water from the primary water tank; when the working water tank temperature is lower than the set temperature, the heating furnace and the heating furnace circulating water pump are turned on to heat the working water tank. The heating furnace is a vacuum gas furnace.

[0095] Step 203: The hot water circulation pump circulates the supply and return water pipes and the working water tank to keep the hot water supply temperature constant within a certain range, ensuring that hot water is available immediately and preventing water waste.

[0096] Therefore, traditional solar water heating systems preheat the primary water tank 3 using collector 1, and then replenish the working water tank 4. By increasing the replenishment temperature of the working water tank 4, energy consumption can be reduced.

[0097] However, due to the fact that collector 1 is a free heat source and the heat is unstable, there will be a large deviation between heat recovery and design, and difficulties in engineering selection. The main situations include the following:

[0098] (1) It is difficult to select the size of the primary water tank 3. When the water tank is too small, the amount of cold energy stored by the collector 1 in the primary water tank 3 is too small when there is sunlight. When the water tank is too large, the heating speed of the solar collector 1 in the primary water tank 3 is slow. When a small amount of water is used, the water replenishment temperature of the primary water tank 3 in the working water tank 4 is too low. The working water tank 4 must start the heating furnace 6 and the heating furnace circulating water pump 5 to heat the working water tank 4.

[0099] (2) The solar collector 1 cannot heat the working water tank 4. The temperature of the working water tank 4 depends on the water supply temperature of the primary water tank 3. When the water supply temperature is lower than the required temperature, the heating furnace circulating water pump 5 and the heating furnace 6 must be started to ensure the temperature of the working water tank 4. Especially during periods when water is not in use, the heating furnace circulating water pump and the heating furnace 6 must be constantly switched on and off in order to "keep the working water tank 4 warm". Moreover, the hot circulating water pump 8 will consume the heat of the working water tank 4, resulting in energy waste.

[0100] This invention proposes a system where the inlet and outlet of multiple primary water tanks are connected in parallel, and the water supply and usage ends are sequentially connected, thus creating a multi-stage water tank array. This array of tanks achieves rapid heating. Furthermore, regulating valves at the inlet of each primary tank clamp the water supply to that tank. This multi-stage clamping heating ensures that the water supplied to the working tank from the primary tank reaches an intermediate temperature. Additionally, a heat circulation switching method is employed, allowing direct heating of the working tank when solar energy is abundant, reducing waste from secondary heating in the furnace.

[0101] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Regarding the methods disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the systems disclosed in the embodiments, the descriptions are relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the system section description.

[0102] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
