Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy, specifically to a distributed multi-energy, multi-material complementary heating and cooling radiant system. Background Technology
[0002] The construction industry is a major energy consumer and carbon emitter, accounting for more than 30% of global energy consumption and approximately 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems account for about 50% of a building's overall energy use, and with global development trends, they are expected to consume even more energy. Therefore, reducing the energy consumption of HVAC systems is crucial for low-carbon development.
[0003] Solar energy, as a new type of renewable energy, boasts numerous advantages such as abundant reserves and safety. However, due to limitations imposed by factors such as day and night cycles, climate, and geographical conditions, its utilization is easily affected by meteorological factors, making it impossible to achieve continuous and stable heating. The utilization of resources such as solar and wind energy also suffers from problems such as low energy flux density and the randomness and periodicity of energy supply.
[0004] Radiative cooling is a passive cooling technology where objects on Earth can dissipate heat into the low-temperature outer space through thermal radiation, utilizing the high transmittance of the "atmospheric window" wavelength. However, due to variations in local atmospheric conditions and cloud cover, as well as the instability of intermittent atmospheric transparency, the cooling effect of radiative cooling systems is intermittent.
[0005] Radiant floor heating has been widely used due to its advantages such as energy saving, comfort and meeting human physiological needs, but it still has disadvantages such as buried pipes reducing the effective floor height of buildings and the floor surface covering increasing the thermal resistance.
[0006] With the increasing popularity of air conditioning, electricity consumption is growing rapidly, leading to peak-hour power shortages. The electricity consumption of air conditioning systems is largely synchronized with the peak and off-peak electricity demand, further widening the peak-to-valley difference in power load and preventing the full utilization of off-peak electricity prices.
[0007] Radiant heating and cooling systems have become increasingly popular in research and application due to their potential for energy saving, improved thermal comfort, and space saving. However, there is currently a lack of radiant heating and cooling systems that can effectively utilize low-grade renewable energy sources (such as air source heat pumps and solar collectors) to effectively reduce system energy consumption.

The circulating water in the electric air source heat pump 4 is cooled by the electric air source heat pump 4 and then enters the system terminal coil 31 for cooling through the on-off valve 4 17, the electric air source heat pump water supply pipeline 33, the on-off valve 5 18, the water supply main pipe 30, and the user-side water supply regulating valve 27. After that, it returns to the electric air source heat pump 4 through the user-side return water on-off valve 28, the return water main pipe 29, the variable frequency pump 2 6, and the on-off valve 6 19.
[0048] Mode 3: When the sky radiant panel 2 cannot provide cooling during the day or due to weather factors (i.e., Q2 = 0), the electric air source heat pump 4 provides cooling.
[0049] When there is cold energy stored in energy storage tank 3 (Q3>0), the electric air source heat pump 4 and energy storage tank 3 work together to provide cooling. The following valves are opened: second regulating valve 13, fourth regulating valve 15, first energy storage / discharge on / off valve 23, variable frequency pump 5 22, fourth energy storage / discharge on / off valve 26, on / off valve 4 17, on / off valve 5 18, user-side water supply regulating valve 27, user-side water return on / off valve 28, variable frequency pump 2 6, and on / off valve 6 19. All other components are closed. The circulating water in the electric air source heat pump 4 is cooled by the electric air source heat pump 4 and then flows through on / off valve 4 17, electric air source heat pump water supply line 33, on / off valve 5 18, water supply main line 30, and user-side water supply regulating valve 27 into the system terminal coil 31 for cooling. Afterwards, it returns to the electric air source heat pump 4 through user-side water return on / off valve 28, water return main line 29, variable frequency pump 2 6, and on / off valve 6 19. The cold water in the energy storage tank 3 enters the system terminal coil 31 for cooling through the first energy storage and release on / off valve 23, the variable frequency pump 5 22, the fourth energy storage and release on / off valve 26, the fourth regulating valve 15 of the energy storage tank, the main water supply pipe 30, and the user-side water supply regulating valve 27. Then it returns to the energy storage tank 3 through the user-side return water on / off valve 28, the return water main pipe 29, and the third regulating valve 13 of the energy storage tank.
[0050] When there is no cooling capacity stored in storage tank 3 (Q3=0), the electric air source heat pump 4 provides cooling. The following valves are opened: on / off valve 4 17, on / off valve 5 18, user-side water supply regulating valve 27, user-side return water on / off valve 28, variable frequency pump 2 6, and on / off valve 6 19; all other components are closed. The circulating water in the electric air source heat pump 4 is cooled by the electric air source heat pump 4 and then flows through on / off valve 4 17, electric air source heat pump water supply line 33, on / off valve 5 18, main water supply line 30, and user-side water supply regulating valve 27 to the system terminal coil 31 for cooling. Afterwards, it returns to the electric air source heat pump 4 through user-side return water on / off valve 28, main return water line 29, variable frequency pump 2 6, and on / off valve 6 19.
[0051] Operating Condition 3: Off-peak electricity price electric air source heat pump with 4-stage cold storage:
[0052] During nighttime periods with low electricity prices, the electric air source heat pump 4 generates cooling capacity, and the low-temperature chilled water output by the electric air source heat pump 4 is stored in the energy storage tank 3. During periods with relatively high electricity prices, less electricity is used or no electricity is used, and the cooling capacity stored in the energy storage tank 3 is released to meet the system's cooling load. The water in the energy storage tank 3 passes through the second regulating valve 13, the return water main pipe 29, the second variable frequency pump 6, and the sixth on / off valve 19. After being cooled in the electric air source heat pump 4, the water then passes through the fourth on / off valve 17, the electric air source heat pump water supply pipe 33, the fifth regulating valve 16, the third energy storage and release on / off valve 25, the fifth variable frequency pump 22, and the second energy storage and release on / off valve 24 before entering the energy storage tank 3 for storage.
[0053] Example 1
[0054] Energy efficiency of this system:
[0055] 1) Winter heating: During the heating season, solar collector 1 is used for heating during the day, and excess heat absorbed when solar radiation is strong is stored in energy storage tank 3. This excess heat is released to the system at night or on cloudy or rainy days when solar radiation is insufficient. When solar radiation is insufficient at night or on cloudy or rainy days, an electric air source heat pump 4 is used as the system's heat source.
[0056] Assume that the average heating power of solar collector 1 during the heating season is 500kW, the average daily working time is 8 hours, the supply water temperature of solar collector 1 is 95℃, and after mixing with the 30℃ return water to a temperature of 45℃, it is supplied to end users through the main supply pipe 30. A certain ultra-low energy consumption residential community has a building area of 20,000 m². 2 The average heat load during the heating season is 30W / m². 2 The COP of the electric air source heat pump 4 is 2.6.
[0057] The average daily heat output of the solar collector is: Q1 = 500kW × 8h = 4MWh.
[0058] The average daily heat load of the heating system is: Q = 20000 m³ 2 ×30W / m 2 ×24h=14.4MWh.
[0059] Compared with a heating system that uses an electric air source heat pump as the heat source, the power saving is: W = (4MWh) / 2.6 = 1.53MWh.
[0060] The reduction in system energy consumption is: η = (4MWh) / (14.4MWh) = 27.8%.
[0061] 2) Summer cooling: On clear summer nights, the sky radiant panel 2 is used for cooling, and excess cooling capacity is stored in the energy storage tank 3. During the day or when the sky radiant panel 2 cannot provide cooling due to weather factors, the electric air source heat pump 4 is used as the cold source.
[0062] Assume that the average heating power of the radiant heating panel 2 during the heating season is 360kW, the average daily operating time is 8 hours, the supply water temperature is 18℃, and the return water temperature is 24℃. A certain ultra-low energy consumption residential community has a building area of 20,000 m². 2 The average cooling load in summer is 40W / m². 2 The electric air source heat pump has a 4COP of 2.6.
[0063] The average daily cooling capacity of the sky radiant panels is: Q1 = 360kW × 8h = 2.88MWh.
[0064] The system's average daily cooling load is: Q = 20000 m³ 2 ×40W / m 2×24h=19.2MWh.
[0065] Compared with a system that uses an electric air source heat pump as the cold source, the power saving is: W = (2.88MWh) / 2.6 = 1.1MWh.
[0066] The reduction in system energy consumption is: η = (2.88 MWh) / (19.2 MWh) = 15%.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] Improving the economic efficiency of this system by utilizing peak-valley electricity pricing:
[0069] During summer nights, the electric air-source heat pump 4 can be used for cooling during off-peak electricity prices, and the chilled water output by the electric air-source heat pump 4 can be stored in the energy storage tank 3. During periods of relatively high electricity prices, less electricity is used or no electricity is used, and the cooling capacity of the energy storage tank 3 can be released for use. In this way, the electricity cost of the heating and cooling radiant system can be reduced, energy efficiency can be improved, and carbon emissions can be reduced.
[0070] Assuming the average summer electricity price is 0.65 yuan / kWh, the off-peak electricity price is 0.25 yuan / kWh, the supply water temperature of the electric air source heat pump 4 during the off-peak electricity period is 16℃, the return water temperature is 24℃, the average daily cooling capacity is 5MWh, the cooling period is 100 days, and the COP of the electric air source heat pump 4 is 2.6.
[0071] Compared to systems that do not utilize peak-valley electricity pricing, the annual electricity cost savings are: P = ((5 × 10) 3 ) / 2.6)×(0.65-0.25)×100=76,900 yuan.
[0072] Example 3
[0073] The economic advantages of this system:
[0074] Suppose a residential community is upgrading its heating and cooling radiant heating system, changing from the original electric air source heat pump system 4 to this system. The cost of solar collector 1 is 500 yuan / m². 2 The design area is 2000m² 2 The cost of the Sky Radiation Panel 2 is 300 yuan / m². 2 The design area is 2000m² 2 The cost of energy storage tank 3 is 3000 yuan / m³. 3 The design capacity is 200m³. 3 The total building area is 20,000 square meters. 2 The system has a heating season of 120 days and a cooling season of 100 days. The average heat load during the heating season is 30W / m². 2 The average cooling load in summer is 40W / m². 2The COP of the electric air source heat pump 4 is 2.6, and the average annual electricity price is 0.622 yuan / kWh.
[0075] The cost of solar collector 1 is: C1 = 500 × 2000 = 1 million yuan; the cost of sky radiation panel 2 is: C2 = 300 × 2000 = 600,000 yuan; the cost of energy storage tank 3 is: C3 = 3000 × 200 = 600,000 yuan.
[0076] The total investment cost is: C total =C1+C2+C3=2.2 million yuan.
[0077] The annual electricity savings are: W = 120 × 1.53 + 100 × 1.1 = 293.6 MWh.
[0078] The annual electricity cost savings are: C4 = 293.6 MWh × 0.622 yuan / kWh = 183,000 yuan.
[0079] The investment period is: N = 220 / 18.3 = 12 years.
[0080] In conclusion, this system can bring considerable economic benefits.
[0081] Any aspects not covered in this invention are applicable to existing technologies.
