Among renewable energy sources, solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy, has a wide range of application prospects. Among them, solar water heating system is a very typical application.

[0003] Solar energy has a low energy density and is intermittent and volatile. It needs to be converted into thermal energy and stored for subsequent use. At present, latent heat storage technology is widely used. Its main principle is that the material absorbs or releases heat during the phase change process to store heat in the material or release it from the material. Phase change materials have the characteristics of good thermal conductivity, large heat absorption and release, and small temperature change during phase change. For example, inorganic hydrated salt materials are commonly used in solar water heating systems.

[0004] In the related art, phase change heat storage devices usually encapsulate phase change materials in spherical shells, and then densely arrange multiple such spherical shells to exchange heat when water flows through these spheres. However, under natural convection, the heat exchange effect is still not ideal.

[0045] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a phase change heat storage device provided by the present invention.

[0046] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a phase change heat storage device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a shell 1, a rotating shaft 2 and a heat storage module 3. The shell 1 is formed with an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 for the heat transfer medium to enter and exit the shell 1. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably installed in the shell 1, and the heat storage module 3 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2. The heat storage module 3 includes an outer shell and a heat storage medium accommodated in the outer shell. In the process of the heat storage module 3 rotating with the rotating shaft 2, the heat storage medium exchanges heat with the heat transfer medium in the shell 1. The heat storage medium includes an inorganic hydrated salt phase change material, which responds to a phase change during the heat exchange process with the heat transfer medium to store heat in the heat storage medium.

[0047] In such an embodiment, a cavity is formed in the shell 1, and the heat transfer medium enters the cavity of the shell 1 from the inlet 11 and flows out of the shell 1 from the outlet 12. In the cavity of the shell 1, the heat storage module 3 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2 and rotates with the rotating shaft 2, thereby changing the flow state of the heat transfer medium in the shell 1, strengthening the convective heat transfer, and improving the heat exchange effect. The use of inorganic hydrated salt phase change material as the heat storage medium in the heat storage module 3 not only has a strong heat storage capacity, but also because the heat storage module 3 rotates with the rotating shaft 2, it is not easy to separate phases, further improving the heat exchange performance.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotating shaft 2 is installed on the housing 1 through a bearing, and is connected to the driving shaft of the motor and is driven to rotate by the motor.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the phase change temperature range of the inorganic hydrated salt phase change material is 45°C to 60°C.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the shell 1 is constructed as a hollow spherical shell. Since the rotating shaft 2 drives the heat storage module 3 to rotate inside the shell 1, the spherical shell can improve space utilization, and the surface area of ​​the spherical shell is smaller than the surface area of ​​other shells (such as cubic shells), which can reduce heat loss during the heat exchange process.

[0051] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic plan view of a heat storage module 3 in the exemplary embodiment shown.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, at least one heat storage module 3 is provided, and is arranged on the rotating shaft 2 at intervals along the circumferential direction. Figure 1 As shown, there are 8 heat storage modules 3, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. Further, multiple heat storage modules 3 located on the same circumferential surface are a heat storage module, and multiple heat storage modules are spaced apart along the axial direction to increase the coverage of the heat storage module 3 and improve the heat exchange effect.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat storage module 3 includes a plurality of heat storage units 31 and a plurality of trusses 32, wherein the plurality of heat storage units 31 are configured to be arranged in rows and / or columns, and each heat storage unit 31 is filled with a heat storage medium. The trusses 32 are configured as hollow tubular rods, and are arranged between two adjacent heat storage units 31 to connect the adjacent heat storage units 31, so that the heat storage medium flows between the adjacent heat storage units 31.

[0054] For example, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of heat storage units 31 are arranged in a rectangular array of 8 rows and 4 columns. In the array, a truss 32 is connected between every two adjacent heat storage units 31, and two trusses 32 arranged in an X-shape are connected to each other.

[0055] In some other embodiments, the heat storage unit 31 is also constructed as a spherical shell, which is easy to increase the heat exchange area with the heat transfer fluid, and the connection between the spherical shell and the truss 32 is convenient to increase the complexity of the system structure during arrangement, improve space utilization and help enhance convective heat transfer.

[0056] More specifically, the heat storage unit 31 and the truss 32 are both made of plastics that are resistant to high temperatures and corrosion and have excellent mechanical properties, including but not limited to polyetheretherketone, polyimide, and the like.

[0057] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic plan view of a diffuser plate 4 in the exemplary embodiment shown.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the phase change heat storage device further includes a diffuser plate 4, which is disposed between the inlet 11 and the rotating shaft 12. The diffuser plate 4 is provided with a plurality of through holes, so that the heat transfer medium from the inlet 11 flows to the heat storage module 3 through the through hole dispersion ports of the diffuser plate 4.

[0059] In such an embodiment, the diffuser plate 4 is disposed in the housing 1 by clamping or integrally forming, and the distance between the diffuser plate 4 and the rotating shaft 12 is greater than the maximum length dimension of the heat storage module 3 to avoid affecting the heat storage module 3 from rotating with the rotating shaft 2. The horizontal plane where the diffuser plate 4 is located is perpendicular to the axis of the inlet 11. When the heat transfer medium enters the housing 1 from the inlet 11, it will first impact the surface of the diffuser plate 4, diffuse along the surface of the diffuser plate 4, and then flow along the through holes on the diffuser plate 4 to the heat storage module 3, so that the heat transfer medium can be distributed more evenly in the housing 1, further strengthening the convective heat transfer.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the axis of the inlet 11 is colinear with the axis of the outlet 12 , and both are perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0061] More specifically, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are arranged on the same straight line along the vertical direction.

[0062] In such an embodiment, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are arranged in a colinear manner and in a vertical direction, so that the heat transfer medium entering the shell 1 can flow under the action of gravity and impact the heat storage module 3 after passing through the diffuser 4, so that the heat storage module 3 plays a certain auxiliary role in the rotation of the shaft 2, thereby reducing the load of the motor drive.

[0063] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a solar water heating system provided by the present invention.

[0064] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention further provides a solar water heating system, comprising a solar collector 5, at least one phase change heat storage device 6 as in any of the above embodiments, and a user end. The solar collector 5 is suitable for converting solar energy into thermal energy and heating a heat transfer medium. The phase change heat storage device 6 is configured to exchange heat with the heat transfer medium from the solar collector 5 to store heat in the heat storage medium. The user end is configured to pump tap water to the phase change heat storage device 6, exchange heat with the heat storage medium, and then deliver it to the user.

[0065] In such an embodiment, the heat transfer medium is water. After the solar collector 5 heats the water, it is transported to the inlet 11 of the phase change heat storage device 6, and heat is exchanged with the heat storage medium in the phase change heat storage device 6 to store the heat in the heat storage medium. The water after the temperature drops flows out from the outlet 12 and flows back to the solar collector 5 to continue heating. In this process, the user end pumps the lower temperature tap water to the phase change heat storage device 6 for heat exchange, absorbs the pre-stored heat, and transports the hot water to the user, which can solve the problem of unstable hot water supply at night or when the sun is insufficient. It should be noted that during the heat storage process, if the user needs hot water, the tap water is pumped to the auxiliary heating device for heating. After the heat storage is completed, heat is taken from the phase change heat storage device 6.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the solar water heating system further comprises a heat storage tank 7, which is configured to receive and store heat transfer medium from the phase change heat storage device 6 and the solar collector 5, and to exchange heat with tap water pumped from the user end using the heat transfer medium.

[0067] Specific reference Figure 4 The outlet end of the solar collector 5 is connected to the A1 port of the first three-way valve, the A2 port of the first three-way valve is connected to the inlet 11 of the phase change heat storage device 6, and the A3 port is connected to the hot water storage tank 7; the outlet 12 of the phase change heat storage device 6 is connected to the B2 port of the second three-way valve, the hot water storage tank 7 is also connected to the B3 port of the second three-way valve, and the B1 port of the second three-way valve is connected to the solar collector 5.

[0068] When storing heat, the solar collector 5 transfers the hot water phase change heat storage device 6 and the hot water storage tank 7 through the first three-way valve, and the cold water after heat exchange with the phase change heat storage device 6 flows back to the solar collector 5 through the second three-way valve, and the hot water storage tank 7 temporarily stores the hot water. When the user needs hot water, the tap water is first pumped to the hot water storage tank 7 for heat exchange. If the demand cannot be met, the auxiliary heating device is activated for heating. After the heat storage is completed, the water in the hot water storage tank 7 can be pumped to the phase change heat storage device 6 for heat extraction, or flow back to the solar collector 5.

[0069] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A diagram showing an arrangement of multiple phase change heat storage devices in an exemplary embodiment is shown.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, three phase change heat storage devices 6 are arranged in sequence, wherein the inlet 11 of the first phase change heat storage device 61 is connected to the solar collector 5, the inlet 11 of the second phase change heat storage device 62 is connected to the outlet 12 of the first phase change heat storage device 61, the inlet 11 of the third phase change heat storage device 63 is connected to the outlet 12 of the second phase change heat storage device 62, and the outlet of the third phase change heat storage device 63 is connected to the solar collector 5 and the user end respectively.

[0071] In such an embodiment, by increasing the number of phase change heat storage devices, the heat exchange stroke and time of the heat transfer medium are extended, so that the heat exchange is more sufficient.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the phase change temperature range of the heat storage medium of the first phase change heat storage device 61 is t1~t2, the phase change temperature range of the heat storage medium of the second phase change heat storage device 62 is t2~t3, and the phase change temperature range of the heat storage medium of the third phase change heat storage device 63 is t3~t4, and t1-t2=t2-t3=t3-t4.

[0073] Exemplarily, t1=60°C, t2=55°C, t3=50°C, t4=45°C, so that the phase change temperature range is arranged in steps, so that a high heat exchange efficiency can be maintained during heat storage (heat transfer medium flows from inlet 11 to outlet 12) and heat extraction (heat transfer medium flows from outlet 12 to inlet 11).

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first phase change heat storage device 61, the second phase change heat storage device 62 and the third phase change heat storage device 63 are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction, that is, the axes of the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 extend in the horizontal direction. When storing heat, the heat transfer medium flows from the first phase change heat storage device 61 to the third phase change heat storage device 63, so that the temperature of the heat transfer medium decreases while adapting to the phase change temperature range. When taking out heat, the heat transfer medium flows from the third phase change heat storage device 63 to the first phase change device 61, so that the temperature of the heat transfer medium increases while adapting to the phase change temperature range. In the process of heat storage and heat taking, the water pump and the drive motor of the rotating shaft 2 provide the power for the flow of the heat transfer medium. When switching the heat storage / heat taking mode, that is, when the flow direction changes, the corresponding control drive motor is reversed so that the system can operate smoothly and stably.

[0075] It should be noted that the first phase change heat storage device 61, the second phase change heat storage device 62 and the third phase change heat storage device 63 can also be arranged in sequence in the vertical direction, and the flow of the heat transfer medium under the action of gravity can reduce the load of the drive motor.

[0076] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a solar water heating system in another exemplary embodiment.

[0077] In some other embodiments, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the solar water heating system also includes valves a~e. When valves b, c, and e are opened and valves a and e are closed, hot water from the solar collector 5 flows through port A2, phase change heat storage device 6, valves b, c, and e, hot water storage tank 7, and port B3 in sequence and then flows back to the solar collector 5. This working mode is usually suitable for when sunlight is sufficient, the hot water temperature output by the solar collector 5 is high, or the hot water can be continuously output for a long time. The hot water is first sent to the phase change heat storage device 6 for heat exchange. When heat exchange is not sufficient or the phase change heat storage device 6 has reached the upper limit of heat storage, the excess hot water flows to the hot water storage tank 7 for storage. When valves a, c, and e are opened and valves b and d are closed, hot water from the solar collector 5 flows through port A3, the hot water storage tank 7, valves e, c, a, the phase change heat storage device 6, and port B2 in sequence and then flows back to the solar collector 5. In this working mode, the hot water output by the solar collector 5 is first sent to the hot water storage tank 7 for storage to give priority to meeting the hot water demand of the user end. The water discharged from the hot water storage tank 7 flows to the phase change heat storage device 6, and the cold water after heat exchange flows back to the solar collector 5.

[0078] Furthermore, based on any of the above-mentioned embodiments, a water pump is provided upstream of the solar collector 5. When the difference between the outlet temperature and the inlet temperature of the solar collector 5 is equal to or higher than a preset value, the water pump will be turned on to pump the heat transfer medium or cold water with a lower temperature back to the solar collector 5. In the present embodiment, the preset value is 6°C.

[0079] The embodiments of the present invention are described above. However, these embodiments are only for the purpose of illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Although each embodiment is described above, it does not mean that the measures in each embodiment cannot be used in combination. The scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various substitutions and modifications, which should all fall within the scope of the present invention.
