Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar greenhouse technology, and more specifically to a photovoltaic greenhouse combined cooling and heating system and method that combines dynamic and static technologies. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern agriculture, greenhouse systems have experienced rapid growth due to their relatively low susceptibility to environmental impact and their ability to provide a stable and controllable environment for crop growth. From an environmental perspective, the best way to address the energy and environmental issues caused by greenhouse systems is to utilize photovoltaic energy to power their operation. However, due to the intermittent nature of solar irradiance, thermal energy storage technologies—which utilize the sensible or latent heat of substances to store the cooling or heating energy generated by solar energy—have become a key focus for future solar energy utilization development. Compared to traditional grid-driven thermal energy storage or heating systems, novel and environmentally friendly photovoltaic cooling / heating technologies hold even greater significance.

[0003] Through research and operational data analysis of photovoltaic greenhouse cooling and heating technologies, the main problems existing in the cooling and heating systems of current photovoltaic greenhouses have been identified, as follows:

[0004] (1) Ventilation is the most common cooling method for photovoltaic greenhouses, but it also wastes the heat energy contained in the air inside the greenhouse.

[0005] (2) Under the experimental conditions, the heat pump was used to capture the residual heat energy of the greenhouse air and use it for heating at night. The average energy saving rate and economic feasibility of the system were both low.

[0006] (3) Existing combined cooling and heating systems can only provide heating or cooling on their own, and cannot achieve the recovery of waste heat in the greenhouse while providing cooling.

[0007] Therefore, how to efficiently and fully utilize solar energy resources and greenhouse waste heat, while simultaneously achieving the dual functions of ice-making and cooling storage, and heating storage, reducing the capacity of power distribution, cooling and heating units, improving the efficiency of waste heat utilization in greenhouses, and reducing operating costs are problems that urgently need to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0036] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.

[0037] Figure 1 This invention provides a structural diagram of a photovoltaic greenhouse combined cooling and heating system that combines dynamic and static elements. Detailed Implementation

[0038] 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.

[0039] This invention discloses a photovoltaic greenhouse combined cooling and heating system that combines dynamic and static technologies, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: photovoltaic power generation system, combined cooling and heating system, and energy storage system;

[0040] Photovoltaic power generation systems are used to convert solar energy into electrical energy and supply it to combined cooling, heating and cooling systems.

[0041] Combined cooling and heating (CCHP) systems utilize electrical energy to achieve multiple operating modes, including CCHP mode, a combined dynamic and static heating mode, a heating mode, and a cooling mode. When there are large temperature differences between day and night, CCHP mode is activated to collect energy from the greenhouse during the day for nighttime heating. In winter, when temperatures are low and greenhouse crops require more heat, the combined dynamic and static heating mode is activated to achieve cascaded energy utilization, enhance energy storage, and improve solar energy utilization. When the greenhouse requires less heat in winter, the heating mode is activated to improve heating efficiency. In summer, when temperatures are high and the greenhouse temperature exceeds the crop's growth temperature, a larger cooling load is required; activating the cooling mode, where the evaporator is in direct contact with water, improves cooling efficiency.

[0042] The energy storage system is used to provide cooling or heating based on the greenhouse's temperature control operating mode.

[0043] The combined cooling and heating system includes a variable frequency compressor 3, a plate heat exchanger 4, a condenser 6, a throttling valve 7, an evaporator 8, a four-way reversing valve 5, a gas-liquid separator 9, and a heat exchange water pump 12. The variable frequency compressor 3 is connected to the photovoltaic power generation system, the plate heat exchanger 4, and the gas-liquid separator 9. The four-way reversing valve 5 is connected to the plate heat exchanger 4, the condenser 6, the gas-liquid separator 9, and the evaporator 7. The condenser 6 is also connected to one end of the throttling valve 7, and the other end of the throttling valve 7 is connected to the evaporator 7. The heat exchange water pump 12 is connected to the plate heat exchanger 4.

[0044] The energy storage system includes a hot water tank 11, a cold water tank 10, a water pump 13, and a circulation pipe. The hot water tank 11 is connected to the plate heat exchanger 4 and the heat exchange water pump 12. The evaporator 7 is installed in the cold water tank 10. The circulation pipe is connected to the hot water tank 11, the cold water tank 10, and the greenhouse 15, and is used to control the cooling or heating of the greenhouse 15.

[0045] To compensate for the intermittent nature of solar energy and ensure the operation of both the cooling and heating systems, the combined cooling and heating system was optimized and modified. After optimization, the evaporator 8 is placed inside the cold water tank 10, and the plate heat exchanger 4 stores hot water in the hot water tank 11 via the heat exchange pump 12. This allows for the simultaneous realization of ice-making, cold storage, and heat storage functions. A four-way reversing valve 5 allows for both static and dynamic heating. Furthermore, based on temperature feedback within the greenhouse, energy can be stored and used simultaneously, avoiding the drawbacks of the greenhouse's susceptibility to environmental influences and providing a stable and controllable environment for crop growth.

[0046] Preferably, the circulation pipeline includes a first pipeline, a second pipeline, a third pipeline, a fourth pipeline, a water pump 13, a fan 14, a first valve 16, a second valve 17, a third valve 18, and a fourth valve 19;

[0047] The first pipe is connected to a hot water tank 11 and a cold water tank 10 on both sides respectively. A first valve 16 is installed on one side of the cold water tank 10 and a second valve 17 is installed on one side of the hot water tank 11. The third pipe is installed between the first valve 16 and the second valve 17.

[0048] The second pipe is connected to the hot water tank 11 and the cold water tank 10 on both sides respectively. A third valve 18 is installed on one side of the cold water tank 10, and a fourth valve 19 is installed on one side of the hot water tank 11. The fourth pipe is installed between the third valve 18 and the fourth valve 19.

[0049] The third and fourth pipes are connected to both sides of the fan 14, and the water pump 13 is installed on the third pipe.

[0050] Preferably, a temperature sensor is installed inside the greenhouse 15 to collect the temperature inside the greenhouse and feed it back to the combined cooling and heating system and the energy storage system. The combined cooling and heating system adjusts its operating mode according to the temperature requirements of the crops inside the greenhouse and the real-time temperature of the greenhouse fed back by the temperature sensor. The energy storage system adjusts the switching of valves according to the operating mode of the combined cooling and heating system and the real-time temperature feedback from the temperature sensor.

[0051] Preferably, the photovoltaic power generation system includes a photovoltaic module 1 and an inverter controller 2 connected in sequence.

[0052] In the preferred combined cooling and heating mode:

[0053] The four-way reversing valve 5 connects the plate heat exchanger 4 and the condenser 6. When the irradiance reaches the system startup conditions of the variable frequency compressor 3, the variable frequency compressor 3 drives the refrigerant through the plate heat exchanger 4, condenser 6, expansion valve 7, evaporator 7, and gas-liquid separator 9 back to the variable frequency compressor 3. At this time, the evaporator 8 is in a state of simultaneous ice making and cold storage, and the condenser 6 does not exchange heat with the air. When the first valve 16 and the second valve 17 are opened, the cold water tank 10 and the greenhouse 15 form a cooling water circulation pipeline. As the solar irradiance gradually increases... The temperature inside the greenhouse will gradually rise. Pump 13 will circulate the cold water from the cold water tank 10 to the fan 14 inside the greenhouse for heat exchange with the hot air, until the solar irradiance can no longer drive the variable frequency compressor 3. At night, when there is no sun and the temperature is lower, valves 18 and 19 will open, forming a heat transfer fluid circulation pipeline between the hot water tank 11 and the greenhouse 15. Pump 13 will then transfer the heat from the hot water tank 11 to the greenhouse via the fan 14, maintaining the temperature required for the greenhouse crops until the sun comes out, at which point a new cycle begins. This combined cooling and heating system, which recovers greenhouse heat while providing cooling, reduces energy consumption and improves solar energy utilization.

[0054] In the preferred heating mode that combines dynamic and static heating:

[0055] The four-way reversing valve 5 connects the plate heat exchanger 4 and the evaporator 7. When the irradiance reaches the system start-up conditions of the variable frequency compressor 3, the variable frequency compressor 3 drives the refrigerant to pass through the plate heat exchanger 4, evaporator 7, throttle valve 7, condenser 6, and gas-liquid separator 9 in sequence back to the variable frequency compressor 3. At this time, the evaporator 8 is in a state of heating and storing heat at the same time until the solar irradiance can no longer drive the variable frequency compressor 3 to run. The plate heat exchanger 4 and the hot water tank 11 form a heat medium water circulation loop. The condenser 6 exchanges heat with the air. The first valve 16, the second valve 17, the third valve 18, and the fourth valve 19 are all opened. The hot water tank 11 and the cold water tank 10 form a heat medium water circulation loop with the greenhouse 15 to supply the greenhouse 15. At this time, when the temperature fed by the temperature sensor of the greenhouse is lower than 15°C, the water pump 13 runs to circulate the heat in the hot water tank 11 and the cold water tank 10 to the fan 14 in the greenhouse to exchange heat with the hot air in the greenhouse, so as to maintain the temperature required for the greenhouse crops until the sun comes out and a new cycle begins. Dynamic and static heating can enable the cascade utilization of energy and improve energy storage.

[0056] In the preferred cooling mode:

[0057] The four-way reversing valve 5 connects the plate heat exchanger 4 and the condenser 6. When the irradiance reaches the system start-up conditions of the variable frequency compressor 3, the variable frequency compressor 3 drives the refrigerant to pass through the plate heat exchanger 4, condenser 6, throttle valve 7, evaporator 7, and gas-liquid separator 9 in sequence and return to the variable frequency compressor 3. The condenser 6 exchanges heat with the air. The evaporator 7 directly contacts the water in the cold water tank 10 to cool the water. The first valve 16 and the second valve 17 are opened, and the cold water tank 10 and the greenhouse 15 form a cooling water circulation pipeline to cool the greenhouse 15. In the refrigeration mode, the combination of air cooling and water cooling can greatly improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0058] In the preferred heating mode:

[0059] The four-way reversing valve 5 connects the plate heat exchanger 4 and the evaporator 7. When the irradiance reaches the starting condition of the variable frequency compressor system, the variable frequency compressor 3 drives the refrigerant to pass through the plate heat exchanger 4, the evaporator 7, the expansion valve 7, the condenser 6, and the gas-liquid separator 9 in sequence back to the variable frequency compressor 3. The plate heat exchanger 4 does not form a heat medium water circulation loop with the hot water tank 11. The evaporator 7 directly contacts the water in the cold water tank 10 to heat the water. The cold water tank 10 forms a heat medium water circulation loop with the greenhouse 15. The condenser 6 exchanges heat with the air. The first valve 16 and the second valve 17 are opened, and the cold water tank 10 and the greenhouse 15 form a heat medium water circulation pipeline to supply heat to the greenhouse 15. In the heating mode, the evaporator directly contacts the water, which can improve the heating efficiency.
