Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy-saving buildings, and in particular to an energy-saving wall based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage. Background Art

[0002] Phase change material (PCM) undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid when heated to its melting temperature. During the melting process, the PCM absorbs and stores a large amount of latent heat. When the PCM cools, the stored heat is dissipated into the environment within a certain temperature range, undergoing a reverse phase change from liquid to solid. In the field of energy-saving buildings, it is used to regulate indoor temperature by absorbing and releasing heat.

[0003] However, in actual applications, phase change materials may not fully liquefy due to low ambient temperature, or may not fully solidify due to high ambient temperature, thus failing to form an ideal phase change cycle and reducing energy efficiency. There are usually two solutions to this problem in the prior art. One is to set two phase change materials with different melting points in the wall, and use specially designed devices to enable different phase change materials to replace each other so that they can function at different ambient temperatures. However, since this technology requires additional mechanical and electric devices, the structure is complex and causes instability in the wall structure, and the application effect is poor. The other is to use an active phase change wall and use other energy sources to make the phase change material form a complete phase change cycle. However, the limitation of this technology is that it causes secondary consumption of other energy sources, which is not conducive to energy conservation, emission reduction and resource conservation. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an energy-saving wall based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0017] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic side elevational cross-sectional view of the exterior wall is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Figure 1 The structure of an energy-saving wall 100 based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the energy-saving wall 100 based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage may include: an energy-saving wall body, the energy-saving wall body includes a roof 102 and an outer wall 101; a rainwater collection and utilization device arranged on the roof 102 and a water collection pipe 6 for draining rainwater from the roof to the rainwater collection and utilization device, and a heat storage device arranged in the outer wall 101, the heat storage device may include a phase change material layer 12 arranged inside the outer wall 101 and a rainwater conduit 13 embedded in the phase change material layer 12, and the rainwater conduit 13 is connected to the rainwater collection and utilization device. Among them, the rainwater collection and utilization device may include a rainwater collection pool arranged on the roof 102, the rainwater collection pool may include a winter working pool 1 and a summer working pool 2, the winter working pool 1 may include a first pool body 11 and a solar photovoltaic heat collection device 3 arranged on the top of the first pool body 11, the summer working pool 2 may include a second pool body 21 and a radiation heat dissipation device 4 arranged on the second pool body 21, and when one of the winter working pool 1 and the summer working pool 2 is working, the other is not working.

[0020] When the energy-saving wall 100 based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage in the embodiment of the present invention is in use, the winter working pool 1 and the summer working pool 2 are selectively used according to the actual season. The winter working pool 1 can be used in autumn and winter, and the summer working pool 2 can be used in spring and summer. Rainwater or snow water enters the rainwater collection and utilization device through the water collection pipe 6 for storage. During the daytime in summer, the phase change material layer 12 absorbs heat and melts to store heat, thereby delaying the time for the indoor temperature to rise and maintaining a stable indoor temperature. During the nighttime in summer, the rainwater in the summer working pool 2 is dissipated by the radiation heat dissipation device 4 and then introduced into the rainwater conduit 13, so that the phase change material layer 12 solidifies to release heat. Subsequently, the rainwater in the rainwater conduit 13 takes away the heat and flows back to the summer working pool 2 and continues to radiate and dissipate heat through the radiation heat dissipation device 4. During the daytime in winter, the rainwater in the winter working pool 1 absorbs solar radiation and stores heat through the solar photovoltaic collector 3 and then is introduced into the rainwater conduit 13, so that the phase change material layer 12 melts and stores heat. During the nighttime in winter, the phase change material layer 12 solidifies and releases heat when it is cold, thereby delaying the time for the room temperature to drop and maintaining a stable room temperature.

[0021] The energy-saving wall 100 based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage in the embodiment of the present invention can, on the one hand, effectively promote the recycling and utilization of rainwater resources, while reducing the disturbance of ambient temperature changes on the indoor temperature of the building, thereby reducing building energy consumption, improving the resource-saving performance of green buildings, and achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction; on the other hand, it solves the problems of incomplete phase change cycle of traditional phase change material walls, complex structure and inconvenient installation, and secondary energy consumption; in addition, by combining rainwater collection and utilization technology, solar energy heat storage technology, and phase change material technology, an integrated building energy-saving technology is formed, which can be applied to low-energy buildings and green buildings, reduce building energy consumption and improve building resource conservation performance, with stronger applicability, higher energy-saving efficiency and better green performance.

[0022] In such Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the preferred embodiment shown, the exterior wall 101 may include a mortar layer 9 , an insulation layer 10 , a base layer 11 and a plaster layer 14 arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside, and the phase change material layer 12 is located between the base layer 11 and the plaster layer 14 .

This arrangement can increase the distribution area of ​​the first conduit 131, thereby increasing its contact area with the phase change material layer 12, which helps to make the circulation of the phase change material layer 12 more thorough.

[0027] Preferably, if Figure 1As shown, a valve 8 may be provided on the second conduit 132 for controlling the connection or disconnection between the rainwater collection tank and the rainwater conduit 13 .

[0028] Furthermore, a second filtering device (not shown in the figure) can be arranged between the valve 8 and the rainwater collection pool, which is used to filter the rainwater in the rainwater collection pool before entering the rainwater conduit 13, thereby further protecting the rainwater conduit 13 and preventing the rainwater conduit 13 from affecting the heat transfer effect and causing corrosion to its inner wall due to impurities.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the second conduit 132 can also be selectively connected to the heating pipeline in the house. This setting is used to introduce rainwater carrying heat into the heating pipeline for indoor heating when needed, which can further improve the applicability and practicality of the energy-saving wall 100 based on rainwater collection and utilization and phase change material heat storage, and at the same time be more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
