Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geothermal cooling and heating, and in particular to a buried pipe combined heat and cold storage integrated energy supply system and method. Background Art

[0002] Shallow geothermal energy is the energy stored in the underground soil within a depth of 0 - 200m below the ground surface. Shallow geothermal energy is buried relatively shallowly. Generally, heat exchange through buried pipes is used to extract underground heat (cooling capacity), and after the heat (cooling) grade is improved by a ground source heat pump, it is supplied to the terminal. With a set of equipment, heating in winter and cooling in summer can be achieved, truly realizing zero emissions and zero pollution in the building use area for heating (cooling).

[0003] The earth is a vast energy reservoir with inexhaustible energy, but it also faces two problems. The distribution of various resources is extremely uneven, resulting in a contradiction between supply and demand in space. The consumption of energy is affected by climate, seasons, etc., resulting in a contradiction between supply and demand in time. Therefore, the proposed system provides a new way to solve the above problems by using underground rock and soil as a "container" for storing heat (cooling capacity), improving energy utilization efficiency from both time and space dimensions.

[0004] The present invention combines a shallow ground source heat pump system with a solar collector system and a chiller. During the intermittent period, heat and cooling capacity can be stored in the underground soil through the solar collector system and the chiller respectively, and extracted through the buried pipes during energy consumption, making full use of solar energy and valley electricity, and improving the energy supply efficiency and energy utilization rate.

[0032] It includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S1: Check and ensure that all valves are in the closed state; confirm that the equipment such as the solar heat collector 1, the hot water storage tank 2, the chiller 4, the ground source heat pump 5, and the cooling tower 3 are all in the normal standby state; ensure the safety of the initial state of the system and that all equipment is ready.

[0034] Step S2: In spring, open the first valve 7, the second valve 8, the seventh valve 13, the eighth valve 14, the eleventh valve 17, and the twelfth valve 18 to connect the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3 circuits; start the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3, and the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3 work together during the low-cost valley electricity period at night to generate cooling water; generate cooling water using the low-cost electricity at night.

[0035] Open the seventh valve 13, the eighth valve 14, the eleventh valve 17, and the twelfth valve 18 to connect the chiller 4 and the shallow buried ground pipe 6; the cooling water of the chiller 4 enters the shallow buried ground pipe 6 and is stored in the surrounding underground soil through heat exchange; store the cooling water generated by the chiller 4 in the surrounding underground soil through the shallow buried ground pipe 6 to store cold energy.

[0036] Close the first valve 7, the second valve 8, the eleventh valve 17, and the twelfth valve 18 in sequence, stop the operation of the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3, keep the seventh valve 13 and the eighth valve 14 open for five minutes to drain the residual cold water in the shallow buried ground pipe 6; stop the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3, and drain the residual cold water in the shallow buried ground pipe 6 to prepare for the next operation.

[0037] Step S3: In summer, open the first valve 7, the second valve 8, the third valve 9, the fourth valve 10, the seventh valve 13, the eighth valve 14, the ninth valve 15, and the tenth valve 16. Through the water circulation between the ground source heat pump 5 and the shallow buried ground pipe 6, improve the quality of the cooling water stored in the surrounding underground soil in step S1. Open the ninth valve 15 and the tenth valve 16, and supply the generated cold water to the user terminal through the ground source heat pump 5; extract the cold energy stored in the underground soil by using the ground source heat pump 5, and supply the cooling water with improved quality to the user terminal through the ground source heat pump 5.

[0038] When the cooling demand of the user terminal exceeds the capacity provided by the ground source heat pump 5, the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3 work together to generate cooling water, start the chiller 4 to supplement the cooling water to the user terminal for cooling; open the first valve 7 and the second valve 8, the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3 work together to generate cold water, open the third valve 9 and the fourth valve 10, and start the chiller 4 to supplement the cooling to the user terminal; when the ground source heat pump 5 cannot meet the user's demand, start the chiller 4 and the cooling tower 3 to supplement the cooling.

[0039] Step S3: In autumn, open the fifth valve 11, the sixth valve 12, the seventh valve 13, and the eighth valve 14. First, supplement tap water to the solar collector 1.

[0040] The hot water storage tank 2 is connected to the shallow buried ground pipe 6, and the high-temperature hot water in the hot water storage tank 2 is stored in the surrounding underground soil through the shallow buried ground pipe 6 to store heat.

[0041] By connecting the hot water storage tank 2 with the shallow buried ground pipe 6, the high-temperature hot water generated by the solar heating system is transported to the underground soil for storage, realizing the underground seasonal storage of thermal energy and providing heat source for subsequent heating requirements.

[0042] First, after the hot water storage tank 2 cools down, close the fifth valve 11 and the sixth valve 12, and then close the seventh valve 13 and the eighth valve 14; close the fifth valve 11 and the sixth valve 12 to stop the water replenishment and circulation of the solar heating system to ensure that the system stops operating; then close the seventh valve 13 and the eighth valve 14 to cut off the connection between the hot water storage tank 2 and the shallow buried ground pipe 6 to avoid reverse heat loss or system misoperation.

[0043] Step S5: In winter, open the seventh valve 13, the eighth valve 14, the ninth valve 15 and the tenth valve 16. The high-temperature hot water stored in the underground soil around the shallow buried pipe 6 through step S3 is supplied to the user terminal after the heat grade of the high-temperature hot water is increased by the ground source heat pump 5 to meet the heat load demand of the user terminal.
