Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of this application.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of a method for calculating the heat of a solar water heater provided by an embodiment of this application. As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of this application provides a method for calculating the heat of a solar water heater, and the method includes the following steps:
[0046] S101, obtain the electric energy heat and solar energy heat of the solar water heater.
[0047] In this embodiment, obtaining the electric energy heat of the solar water heater includes: calculating the electric energy heat through the formula Q1 = (cm△t1 + cm△t2 + … + cm△tn); where Q1 is the electric energy heat, c represents specific heat capacity, m represents mass, and △tn is the temperature difference in the nth time period. Further, in this embodiment, after calculating the electric energy heat, the electric energy consumption W is corrected and compared through the heating tube power and the running time. Ignoring the case of energy loss, Q≈W = PT, where W refers to the electric quantity, P refers to the heating tube power, and T refers to the starting and running time of the electric heating tube.
[0048] In this embodiment, obtaining the solar heat of the solar water heater includes: calculating the solar heat through the formula Q2 = (cs△t1 + cs△t2 + … + cs△tn); where Q2 is the solar heat, c represents specific heat capacity, s represents the heat absorption area, and △tn is the temperature difference in the nth time period. The duration of the time period can be specifically set according to actual needs, such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.
[0049] It should be noted that the way to obtain the temperature difference in this application is as follows: obtain the temperature values of three paths corresponding to the first time point and the last time point in the nth time period respectively; calculate the average value of the temperature values of the three paths at the first time point to obtain the first temperature value, and calculate the average value of the temperature values of the three paths at the last time point to obtain the second temperature value; calculate the first temperature value and the second temperature value to obtain the temperature difference in the nth time period. Among them, the temperature values of the three paths are the temperature values at three different positions inside the solar water heater. For example, in this embodiment, the temperature values are obtained by collecting the water temperatures of three paths (T1, T2, T3), the collection medium is a thermistor, the collection frequency is 3 times per minute, and the collected values are converted into an RT parameter comparison table to form observable temperature values and calculable temperature values, so as to calculate the temperature difference in the nth time period according to the obtained temperature values.
[0050] For example, the temperature values of the three paths at the first time point are respectively: 10°C, 12°C, 11°C, and the first temperature value obtained by the averaging method is 11°C. The temperature values of the three paths at the last time point are 12°C, 13°C, 14°C respectively, then the second temperature value obtained through calculation is 13°C, and the finally obtained temperature difference is 3°C.
[0051] S102, determine the variable factor coefficients corresponding to the electric energy heat and the solar heat respectively.
[0052] Among them, the variable factor coefficients corresponding to the electric energy heat and the solar heat are set based on comprehensive factors such as the water tank capacity, the absorption efficiency of the solar panel, and the heating efficiency, and the relationship between the change in the hot water temperature per unit time and the change in the total amount of hot water is calculated.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the opening time of the circulation pump and the temperature rise are detected, and the opening of the circulation pump is equivalently replaced with electric heating. It is understood that the variable factor coefficient is a ratio and also a variable. And during the experimental stage, it is measured that when the circulation pump is turned on for 1 hour, the temperature rises by 10 degrees, while when the electric heating starts for 10 minutes, the temperature rises by 10 degrees, and a variable value is given according to such a ratio. Finally, in the case of software logic failure, a variable factor is considered fixed, such as setting the variable factor coefficient to 10, or manually calibrating the variable factor coefficient.
[0054] In an optional embodiment provided by the application, determining the variable factor coefficients corresponding to the electric energy heat and the solar energy heat respectively includes:
[0055] S1021. Calculate the variation relationships between the change in hot water temperature per unit time and the electric energy heat and the solar energy heat respectively based on the water tank capacity, solar panel absorption efficiency, and heating efficiency of the solar water heater.
[0056] Specifically, calculating the variation relationships between the change in hot water temperature per unit time and the electric energy heat and the solar energy heat respectively based on the water tank capacity, solar panel absorption efficiency, and heating efficiency of the solar water heater includes: obtaining the historical data of the solar water heater, where the historical data includes the water tank capacity, solar panel absorption efficiency, heating efficiency, and change in hot water temperature per unit time; performing linear fitting according to the historical data to obtain a first linear fitting formula and a second linear fitting formula; obtaining the variation relationship between the change in hot water temperature per unit time and the electric energy heat through the first linear fitting formula; and obtaining the variation relationship between the change in hot water temperature per unit time and the solar energy heat through the second linear fitting formula.
[0057] It should be noted that the basic principle of a solar water heater is to use sunlight to irradiate the collector, convert solar energy into heat energy through the collector, transfer the heat energy to the storage water tank through pipelines, and finally achieve the purpose of heating water. When calculating the water temperature, the following factors need to be considered: the collector area and design parameters (such as the type and material of the collector); the solar radiation intensity and direction (such as seasons, weather, etc.); the hot water tank volume and design parameters (such as the shape and size of the hot water tank); the pipeline length and design parameters (such as the diameter of the pipeline, insulation layer, etc.).
[0058] According to the above factors, some empirical formulas are used to calculate the water temperature of the solar water heater: the formula for the relationship between light intensity and temperature: I = k * T, where I is the light intensity, k is a constant, and T is the ambient temperature; the formula for the heat absorption coefficient of the collector: α = η * ε, where α is the heat absorption coefficient of the collector, η is the solar radiation coefficient, and ε is the absorption coefficient of the collector; the formula for the heat dissipation coefficient of the hot water tank: β = α * C, where β is the heat dissipation coefficient of the hot water tank and C is the specific heat capacity of the hot water tank.
[0059] Suppose there is a collector with an area of 2 square meters, a solar radiation intensity of 500 watts per square meter, a hot water tank volume of 50 liters, and a pipeline length of 10 meters. According to the above formulas, the following calculations are carried out:
[0060] Relationship between light intensity and temperature: I = k * T, where k is a constant and T is the temperature. The value of k can be obtained through experimental measurement and then substituted into the formula to calculate the light intensity I.
[0061] Formula for the heat absorption coefficient of the collector: α = η * ε, where η is the solar radiation coefficient and ε is the absorption coefficient of the collector. According to empirical data, we can get that η is about 0.7 and ε is about 0.9. Therefore, α = η * ε = 0.7 * 0.9 = 0.63.
[0062] Formula for the heat dissipation coefficient of the hot water tank: β = α * C, where β is the heat dissipation coefficient of the hot water tank and C is the specific heat capacity of the hot water tank. According to empirical data, we can get that C is about 4.2 kJ / (kg·°C). Therefore, β = α * C = 0.63 * 4.2 = 2.64.
[0063] Assume that the total solar radiation energy received by the collector is G (W / ㎡), then the heat absorbed by the collector is G×ηc. At the same time, the hot water tank will dissipate heat to the outside due to the temperature difference. Let the initial temperature of the water tank be T0 and the ambient temperature be Ta, then the heat dissipation per hour of the water tank is (T0 - Ta)×ηL.
[0064] Assume that within a certain time period ΔT, the heat absorbed by the collector is all used to heat the water, and other heat losses (such as pipeline heat loss, etc.) are not considered. Then the increase in water temperature Δt within this time period can be calculated by the following formula: Δt = (G×ηc×ΔT) / (mc) - (T0 - Ta)×ηL×ΔT / m, where m is the mass of water in the water tank (kg) and c is the specific heat capacity of water [J / (kg·°C)].
[0065] Since the change in water temperature will affect the heat dissipation of the water tank, the above formula is a non-linear equation about ΔT. It can be solved by the iterative method or numerical method to obtain the curve of water temperature change with time. In summary, calculating the temperature of a solar water heater based on the heat absorption coefficient of the collector and the heat dissipation coefficient of the hot water tank is a problem involving multiple variables and a complex heat transfer process, which requires establishing a reasonable mathematical model and using appropriate numerical methods for solution.
[0066] S1022, determine the variable factor coefficient of the electric energy heat according to the relationship between the change of the hot water temperature and the change of the electric energy heat.
[0067] Specifically, the determining the variable factor coefficient of the electric energy heat according to the relationship between the change of the hot water temperature and the change of the electric energy heat includes: determining the variable factor coefficient of the electric energy heat according to the linear fitting coefficient in the first linear fitting formula.
[0068] S1023. Determine the variable factor coefficient of the solar energy heat according to the relationship between the change in the hot water temperature and the change in the solar energy heat.
[0069] Specifically, determining the variable factor coefficient of the solar energy heat according to the relationship between the change in the hot water temperature and the change in the solar energy heat includes: determining the variable factor coefficient of the solar energy heat according to the linear fitting coefficient in the second linear fitting formula.
[0070] S103. Perform weighted calculation on the electric energy heat, the solar energy heat and their respective variable factor coefficients to obtain a weighted sum, and divide the weighted sum by the sum of the two variable factor coefficients to obtain the total heat of the solar water heater.
[0071] Specifically, the total heat Q_total of the solar water heater = (i * Q1 + j * Q2) / (i + j), where Q1 is the electric energy heat, Q2 is the solar energy heat, i is the variable factor coefficient of the electric energy heat, and j is the variable factor coefficient of the solar energy heat. That is, in this embodiment, the total heat of the solar water heater is calculated by weighted average, where the weights i and j are selected according to the variable factor coefficients, and the coefficient factors are set based on comprehensive factors such as the water tank capacity, the absorption efficiency of the solar panel, and the heating efficiency, and the relationship between the change in the hot water temperature and the change in the total hot water volume per unit time is calculated.
[0072] A heat calculation method for a solar water heater provided by an embodiment of the present application first obtains the electric energy heat and the solar energy heat of the solar water heater; then determines the variable factor coefficients corresponding to the electric energy heat and the solar energy heat respectively; and finally performs weighted calculation on the electric energy heat, the solar energy heat and their respective variable factor coefficients to obtain a weighted sum, and divides the weighted sum by the sum of the two variable factor coefficients to obtain the total heat of the solar water heater. Thus, through the present application, the heat calculation of the solar water heater is realized, so that the accuracy of the heat calculation of the solar water heater can be improved through the present application, and further the accuracy of the estimation of the heating time required for the solar water heater can be improved.
