[0050] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0051] For the thermal link, the antifreeze problem of solar energy system is one of the main problems restricting the utilization of solar energy thermal energy in cold and severe cold regions. Therefore, the antifreeze problem of equipment and pipelines should be specially considered when operating in cold regions. The freezing process of water is as follows: when the temperature of water drops below 0℃, it becomes supercooled water. When ice nuclei larger than the critical size appear in the supercooled water, the freezing process begins. The ice nuclei grow in the supercooled water and eventually become ice in the macroscopic sense. Whether supercooled water with a certain degree of supercooling freezes is affected by many factors, including the flow state of water; the geometric and physical properties of the surface of the ice matrix; the surface area and the external force, etc. Studying the influence of these factors on the freezing of supercooled water will help to propose new ideas to prevent freezing, solve the antifreeze problem in solar water heating systems, and promote the application of solar water heating systems.

[0052] At present, commonly used antifreeze measures include: using antifreeze liquid; using air as the collector working fluid; using a circulating pump to circulate hot water between the hot water storage tank and the flat plate collector; emptying the working fluid in the collector; designing antifreeze collector plates and pipelines, etc.

[0053] Circulation antifreeze refers to a method of circulating water between the outdoor collector and pipeline and the water storage tank, using the high-temperature heat source in the water storage tank to heat the outdoor collector and pipeline to prevent them from freezing. Circulation antifreeze requires a circulation water pump (two sets of circulation pumps are required in an indirect system), and also consumes the high-temperature heat energy in the water tank. It can be said that circulation antifreeze is not energy-saving. Once a power outage occurs, the heat collection loop may freeze or freeze. In addition, when used in extremely cold areas, it may still freeze even if it is circulated. Especially for flat-plate collectors with large heat dissipation, the heat absorption plate core may be frozen.

[0054] Electric heating tape antifreeze means that electric heating tape is arranged at the location where frost cracking may occur. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the electric heating tape is turned on for heating to keep the water inside the pipe from freezing. This antifreeze method can be used in extremely cold areas, but some literature points out that the antifreeze effect and economy are not very good in extremely cold areas. Electric heating tape can only solve the antifreeze problem of pipelines, but cannot solve the antifreeze problem of collectors. Therefore, it can only be used in vacuum tube solar energy systems with antifreeze collectors. In addition, electric heating tape antifreeze consumes high-grade electricity, and the power is generally 10 to 25W / m, which has certain fire hazards and cannot be used during power outages.

[0055] Drainage antifreeze is an active antifreeze solution with a relatively reliable antifreeze effect, especially reflux drainage antifreeze. Therefore, it is mostly used for winter antifreeze of flat-plate collector systems. For all-glass vacuum tube collector systems, it is generally not advisable to use the drain antifreeze solution, because when the water is added again after draining, the all-glass vacuum tube may explode. In addition, drain antifreeze has certain requirements for the slope of the system pipeline and the collector. For large-scale solar heating systems, due to the long outdoor pipelines, the slope of the pipelines is affected by the site or layout, etc., and there is often water accumulation in the elbows and other pipe sections, which cannot be effectively drained.

[0056] Some scholars have modified the collector or system structure to solve the possible icing problem. Zheng Weili used low-temperature electric heating film to heat the core of the flat-plate solar collector, and conducted experimental research on the heating position, heating area, heating time, and heating power. The results showed that the use of low-temperature electric heating film can prevent the flat-plate solar collector from freezing and cracking in winter. Based on the comparative analysis of the anti-freezing principle, flow channel design, material properties and manufacturing process of the flat-plate collector structure, a diamond-shaped iron rope-shaped stainless steel structure anti-freezing flat-plate collector was developed, which can be used in the severely cold areas in the north.

[0057] Considering the application complexity and actual effect, adding antifreeze to the working fluid is a better antifreeze measure. Antifreeze antifreeze has the advantage of reliable antifreeze and is suitable for various types of collectors. Antifreeze antifreeze is usually used in split double-circuit solar energy systems or indirect circulation solar water heating or heating systems. It is a more common antifreeze method. Antifreeze is generally a mixture of ethylene glycol, water and a small amount of additives. The freezing point range is generally -40 to -60 ° C, and the specific heat capacity is about 3.56×10 3 J / (kg·℃), it can be seen that the minimum allowable operating temperature of the antifreeze liquid meets the temperature conditions of the area where the cold-region barracks are located. At the same time, it has a high specific heat capacity, so it is suitable as a heat collecting medium to solve the antifreeze problem of thermal equipment and pipelines in cold-region barracks.

[0058] At the same time, the selection of antifreeze concentration is usually determined based on the local minimum outdoor ambient temperature, which often leads to a higher antifreeze concentration, increasing system operating costs, or a lower antifreeze concentration that cannot effectively prevent freezing. Therefore, other antifreeze measures should also be adopted.

[0059] To address this problem, the present application provides a photovoltaic heating and antifreeze system. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a photovoltaic heating and antifreeze system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes:

[0061] The heat collector and the water pump are arranged on a heat collection loop, and a portion of the pipeline in the heat collection loop passing through the heat exchanger is a heat exchange pipeline 70, and two ends of the heat exchange pipeline are a first node 80 and a second node 90;

[0062] Both ends of the antifreeze pipeline are connected to the first node and the second node;

[0063] The pipeline switching module is arranged on the heat exchange pipeline and the antifreeze pipeline, and is used to switch the pipeline connected to the heat collection loop;

[0064] In a possible embodiment, the pipeline switching module is a solenoid valve, and a solenoid valve is respectively provided on the heat exchange pipeline and the antifreeze pipeline. When it is necessary to switch to the heat exchange pipeline, the solenoid valve on the antifreeze pipeline is closed, and the solenoid valve on the heat exchange pipeline is opened. When it is necessary to switch to the antifreeze pipeline, the solenoid valve on the heat exchange pipeline is closed, and the solenoid valve on the antifreeze pipeline is opened.

[0065] In a possible embodiment, the pipeline switching module is a 3-way interface arranged at the second node or the first node. When it is necessary to switch to the heat exchange pipeline, the interface connected to the antifreeze pipeline is closed, and the interface connected to the heat exchange pipeline is opened. When it is necessary to switch to the antifreeze pipeline, the interface connected to the heat exchange pipeline is closed, and the interface connected to the antifreeze pipeline is opened.

[0066] The temperature sensors are arranged at the inlet and outlet of the collector and the first and second intersections of the outdoor and indoor sides of the collector loop; the measured temperatures are respectively the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2, the third temperature T3, and the fourth temperature T4.

[0067] The auxiliary antifreeze module is arranged on the heat collection loop for auxiliary heating.

[0071] Step 203, determining a corresponding antifreeze strategy according to the collector temperature and the outdoor pipeline temperature, and controlling the water pump, the pipeline switching module and the auxiliary antifreeze module based on the antifreeze strategy.

[0072] Optionally, calculating the collector temperature according to the first temperature and the second temperature includes:

[0073] Calculate the average value of the first temperature and the second temperature as the collector temperature; or,

[0074] A weighted average of the first temperature and the second temperature is calculated as the collector temperature.

[0075] The first temperature and the second temperature both reflect the temperature of the collector. In order to facilitate subsequent antifreeze control, the first temperature and the second temperature are processed to obtain a collector temperature.

[0076] Optionally, the minimum value between the first temperature and the second temperature may be used as the collector temperature.

[0077] Optionally, the calculating the collector temperature according to the third temperature and the fourth temperature includes:

[0078] Calculating an average value of the third temperature and the fourth temperature as the outdoor pipe temperature; or,

[0079] A weighted average of the third temperature and the fourth temperature is calculated as the outdoor pipe temperature.

[0080] The third temperature and the fourth temperature both reflect the temperature of the outdoor pipe. In order to facilitate subsequent antifreeze control, the third temperature and the fourth temperature are processed to obtain an outdoor pipe temperature.

[0081] Optionally, the minimum value between the third temperature and the fourth temperature may be used as the outdoor pipe temperature.

[0082] According to the principle of solar energy self-circulation antifreeze, the solar energy self-circulation control strategy is divided into three cases:

[0083] Case 1: When the temperature of the liquid in the collector is high, first of all, we must make full use of the residual heat of the liquid in the vacuum tube for antifreeze. Since the vacuum tube collector has good thermal insulation performance and a large water capacity, the temperature is significantly higher than that of the outdoor pipe. Therefore, during nighttime operation, as time goes by and the outdoor ambient temperature changes, the temperature drop trend of the outdoor pipe part will be significantly higher than that of the collector. Therefore, compared with the collector, the temperature of the outdoor pipe part (T3, T4) will first reach the freezing temperature or be lower than a certain temperature value. Therefore, at this time, the high-temperature liquid in the collector can be sent to the outdoor pipeline by circulation to ensure that the temperature of the outdoor pipeline part is at a high level, and the entire collector loop will not freeze. At the same time, after a certain period of operation, when the liquid temperature in the entire collector loop is relatively uniform, the antifreeze operation should be stopped to reduce the operation time and save energy consumption. This situation is called intermittent operation.

[0084] Case 2: When the temperature of the liquid in the collector is low but not frozen, while fully utilizing the residual heat of the liquid in the vacuum tube, ensure that there is no possibility of freezing of the liquid in the collector and outdoor pipeline. In this case, since the temperature of the liquid in the collector is low, the liquid temperature rise that can be achieved by circulating the outdoor pipeline is also low, and the time interval between two circulation operations is also short. In this case, the intermittent operation is changed to continuous operation.

[0085] Case 3: The collector is always in a heat dissipation state at night. As time goes by and the temperature of the liquid in the collector decreases, the entire collector loop may freeze. When there is no excess heat in the collector for antifreeze, other measures are needed to prevent the entire loop from freezing. This situation is called auxiliary operation condition.

[0086] In short, the entire antifreeze operation process includes three operating conditions: intermittent operation, continuous operation, and auxiliary operation. Intermittent operation is the main one. When intermittent operation cannot meet the requirements, continuous operation and auxiliary operation are adopted. The setting of continuous operation is set when the liquid temperature in the collector is low in order to avoid frequent start and stop of intermittent cycle. The purpose is to facilitate the stable operation of the antifreeze system and equipment safety. The setting of auxiliary operation is mainly to meet the antifreeze needs in extreme weather conditions, such as multiple consecutive rainy days. When the entire collector loop is likely to freeze, it is necessary to heat the collector loop through auxiliary heat sources or other antifreeze measures to achieve antifreeze requirements. Usually, auxiliary measures can be used to circulate and heat the high-temperature liquid in the water tank.

[0087] Therefore, at certain nights, if the temperature of the liquid in the collector is high and the heat dissipation at night is small, only one or more intermittent operations are needed to meet the antifreeze requirements for the entire night; at certain nights, if the temperature of the liquid in the collector is low or the heat dissipation at night is large, as the temperature of the liquid in the collector decreases, when intermittent operation is not enough to meet the antifreeze requirements, it is necessary to change to continuous operation on the basis of intermittent operation. At this time, the night antifreeze operation mode includes two working conditions: intermittent operation and continuous operation. In extreme weather conditions (such as continuous rainy or snowy weather), due to the lack of solar radiation or low solar radiation, the liquid temperature rise during the day is not enough to meet the antifreeze requirements, and the entire collector loop is in danger of freezing. In this case, it is necessary to add additional heat to the collector loop for antifreeze. At this time, it is necessary to add auxiliary operation on the basis of intermittent operation and continuous operation.

[0088] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a photovoltaic heating and antifreeze method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the corresponding antifreeze strategy is determined according to the collector temperature and the outdoor pipeline temperature, and the water pump, the pipeline switching module and the auxiliary antifreeze module are controlled based on the antifreeze strategy, including:

[0089] Step 301, read in the outdoor pipe temperature T6 and the collector temperature T5;

[0090] Step 302: If the outdoor pipe temperature T6 is greater than or equal to the preset first temperature threshold TA, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the heat exchange pipeline, the water pump stops running, and the auxiliary antifreeze module stops running;

[0091] Step 303, if the outdoor pipeline temperature T6 is less than the preset first temperature threshold TA, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the antifreeze pipeline, the water pump runs intermittently, and the auxiliary antifreeze module stops running; and the antifreeze strategy is determined according to the collector temperature after running for a preset time.

[0092] Step 304: if the collector temperature T5 is greater than the preset second temperature threshold TB, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the heat exchange pipeline, the water pump stops running, and the auxiliary antifreeze module stops running;

[0093] Step 305: If the collector temperature T5 is less than or equal to a preset second temperature threshold TB, an antifreeze strategy is determined according to the outdoor pipeline temperature.

[0094] If the outdoor pipe temperature T6 is greater than the preset third temperature threshold TC, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the antifreeze pipeline, the water pump continues to operate, and the auxiliary antifreeze module stops operating;

[0095] Step 306, if the outdoor pipeline temperature T6 is less than or equal to the preset third temperature threshold TC, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the antifreeze pipeline, the water pump runs continuously, the auxiliary antifreeze module starts to run, and determines the antifreeze strategy according to the collector temperature after running for a preset period of time.

[0096] Step 307: if the collector temperature T5 is greater than the preset second temperature threshold TB, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the heat exchange pipeline, the water pump stops running, and the auxiliary antifreeze module stops running;

[0097] Step 308: If the collector temperature T5 is less than or equal to the preset second temperature threshold TB, the pipeline switching module is controlled to switch to the antifreeze pipeline, the water pump runs continuously, and the auxiliary antifreeze module starts to run.

[0098] In this embodiment, according to the above three operating conditions of intermittent operation, continuous operation and auxiliary operation, in order to more accurately implement the solar self-circulation antifreeze control strategy, the following control parameters are set:

[0099] Temperature measuring points T1, T2, T3, and T4 are used to test the liquid temperature at different positions of the collector loop, where T1 and T2 are the collector inlet and outlet temperatures, respectively, and T3 and T4 are the temperatures of the outdoor pipelines most susceptible to freezing. Under normal circumstances, the temperature values ​​of T1 and T2 are greater than T3 and T4, so under normal circumstances, T5 is greater than T6.

[0100] The initial temperature of antifreeze operation (the first temperature threshold) TA, when the temperature of a certain measuring point reaches this temperature value, the intermittent antifreeze operation is turned on. Since the collector inlet and outlet temperatures T1 and T2 are normally greater than T3 and T4, the initial temperature of antifreeze operation TA is determined by T6 corresponding to T3 and T4. Usually TA can be taken as the freezing point temperature of the pipeline liquid or 3 to 5°C higher than the freezing point temperature.

[0101] The antifreeze operation time tA refers to the time from the start of the antifreeze operation to the time when the liquid temperature at the outdoor pipeline measuring point is basically close to the collector inlet and outlet liquid temperature and can relatively maintain stability and balance. The antifreeze operation time tA is usually determined based on the length of the outdoor pipeline and the liquid flow rate in the pipe. The time should not be too long or too short. On the one hand, if the antifreeze operation time is too long, more water pump energy will be consumed, and the heat dissipation between the liquid in the pipe and the external environment will also be greater, affecting the economy of the antifreeze system: on the other hand, if the antifreeze operation time is too short, the high-temperature liquid in the collector cannot effectively exchange heat with the low-temperature liquid in the outdoor pipeline, which will shorten the antifreeze operation time interval and even cause frequent start and stop of the antifreeze system.

[0102] The antifreeze operation stop temperature (second temperature threshold) TB refers to the time after the intermittent antifreeze operation for a certain period of time. When the liquid temperature in the entire collector loop reaches a uniform and stable state, it is necessary to determine whether the antifreeze operation should be stopped or continued, and the basis for the determination is TB. If the collector temperature T5 is higher than TB, it corresponds to situation 1, and the intermittent operation antifreeze strategy should be adopted; otherwise, it corresponds to situation 2, and the continuous operation strategy should be adopted. Usually, TB should be slightly higher than TA to meet the situation requirements, such as TB = TA + 3 ~ 5 ° C.

[0103] TC is the auxiliary operation temperature (the third temperature threshold), which is mainly designed for situation 3. Auxiliary operation is based on continuous operation. When the liquid temperature in the entire collector loop drops from TB to TC, it indicates that the liquid in the collector loop will soon freeze, so an auxiliary heat source is needed to prevent freezing. TC is usually determined based on the outdoor pipe temperature T6, and the freezing point temperature of the liquid in the pipe can be taken. However, studies have shown that for the liquid in the pipe in a flowing state, especially in a turbulent state, freezing will only occur in a supercooled state, and the supercooling degree is generally 0.5 to 4°C, so the setting of TC can be slightly lower than its freezing point temperature. Therefore, the relationship between the above-mentioned set temperature values ​​is: TC <TA<TB。
