Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of building energy conservation and renewable energy utilization, and relates to solar thermal utilization and passive radiative cooling technologies. Specifically, it is a solar heating and radiative cooling building energy conservation system integrated with cold and heat storage and a control method, which is used to achieve annual heating and cooling regulation of building spaces, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce operating energy consumption. Background Art
[0002] As two ways of utilizing renewable clean energy, solar heating and radiative cooling technologies have received extensive attention in the field of building energy conservation in recent years. Solar heating utilizes solar radiant energy and converts it into heat energy through a heat collection device for indoor heating or hot water supply. This technology has a relatively high maturity level, but it is usually limited by the diurnal cycle and seasonal variations, and there are intermittency and instability in heat energy utilization. Radiative cooling technology is a passive cooling method, especially in the far-infrared band. By using a high-emissivity surface material, heat is radiated into outer space in the form of radiation to achieve a cooling effect without power consumption. This technology has advantages such as zero energy consumption, no noise, and no pollution, and is particularly suitable for building cooling requirements in summer.
[0003] From the perspective of system integration, the solar heating system and the radiative cooling system are strongly complementary: the former is suitable for heat energy storage requirements in cold seasons or at night, and the latter is suitable for passive cooling requirements in hot seasons or during the day. To meet the dual needs of building heating and cooling throughout the year, some existing technologies have tried to integrate solar heating and radiative cooling functions in the same structure using spectrally tunable materials. Existing hybrid systems mainly achieve dual-function switching by adjusting the spectral selectivity of a single material (such as wet / dry states, color change / phase change, etc.), that is, by changing the absorptivity / emissivity of the material in the solar radiation band and the atmospheric window band to achieve heating and cooling functions. However, this solution has the following technical defects: First, it is difficult to achieve optimal performance in a single functional mode because a compromise needs to be made between heating and cooling performance; second, the function conversion is not convenient enough, usually requiring complex material modification or structural adjustment; third, there are challenges in long-term stable operation, and the material performance may decay over time. In addition, currently, the integrated solar heating and radiative cooling functions generally lack effective heat and cold energy storage mechanisms. The heating and cooling requirements of buildings not only involve seasonal variations but also short-term factors such as diurnal variations and weather changes. When facing complex working conditions such as diurnal temperature differences and weather fluctuations, the continuous operation ability and regulation performance of the system are limited, and it is difficult to achieve continuous regulation of the indoor temperature of the building.
[0004] For example, Chinese Patent CN211345922U discloses a winter and summer temperature regulation device based on radiative cooling and solar energy utilization. This device realizes the seasonal conversion of the heat absorption layer and the radiative cooling layer through a rotating structure, which is respectively used for heating in winter and cooling in summer, and has a certain seasonal adaptability. However, the function switching of this solution relies on mechanical rotation and flipping, with a complex structure, slow response speed, low control accuracy, and lack of an effective energy storage mechanism, making it difficult to meet the continuous regulation requirements of the building for heat / cold energy.
[0005] In summary, the existing technologies cannot achieve low-cost, fast-response dynamic switching between solar heating and radiative cooling while ensuring high performance in a single mode, and lack a cold storage and heat storage coordination mechanism to cope with the imbalance between energy supply and demand. Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem to develop a solar heating-radiative cooling building energy-saving system that integrates cold storage and heat storage, independent optimization of dual modes, and can operate continuously throughout the year. Summary of the Invention

Through a time-sharing operation strategy, the present invention respectively realizes solar heat absorption and heat storage under sunlight conditions, realizes passive cooling and cold storage under suitable radiative conditions, and accurately controls the supply air temperature based on a mass flow regulation strategy, thereby realizing the dynamic response of the building's annual heating and cooling loads and optimizing energy consumption, significantly improving the adaptability, stability, and energy-saving effect of the system.

Detailed implementation manners
[0040] The present invention aims to provide an integrated heat storage and cold storage solar heating and radiative cooling building energy - saving system and control method, which is used to realize the efficient switching and combined operation of solar heating and radiative cooling functions in building spaces under different seasons and day - night conditions, so as to improve the annual building energy utilization efficiency and reduce the operation energy consumption. To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the implementation of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments, and the described embodiments are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
[0041] Embodiment 1: Building energy - saving system
[0042] As a specific example, as Figure 1 shown, the integrated heat storage and cold storage solar heating and radiative cooling building energy - saving system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a thermal - cold coupling conversion module 10, a heat storage container 20, a cold storage container 30, a heat exchange regulation device 40, and a control and switching unit 50, wherein:
[0043] The thermal - cold coupling conversion module 10, as Figure 2As shown, it includes a top transparent cover plate 11, a radiative cooler 12, and a bottom support plate 13 that are arranged at intervals from top to bottom in sequence, where: The transparent cover plate 11 is arranged on the outermost layer of the module 10, and is used to transmit solar radiation and reduce energy loss in the visible light band; A thermal fluid channel 14 is formed between the top transparent cover plate 11 and the radiative cooler 12, and is used to circulate a nanofluid medium with strong light absorption ability to absorb solar radiation energy in the solar heating mode; The radiative cooler 12 includes multiple layers of thin films arranged in a stacked manner, and is integrally configured to have a high reflectivity in the solar spectrum range and a high emissivity in the 8 - 13μm atmospheric window wavelength range, and is used to radiate heat to outer space in the radiative cooling mode; A cold fluid channel 15 is formed between the radiative cooler 12 and the bottom support plate 13, and is used to introduce a cold fluid medium in the radiative cooling mode, and release heat through the radiative cooler to achieve passive cooling.
[0044] In the thermal - cold coupling conversion module 10, the nanofluid medium is a two - component nanofluid in which silver nanoparticles and graphene are compound - dispersed in deionized water. By controlling the nanoparticle concentration at about 100 ppm, its average transmittance in the 0.25 - 2.5μm solar spectrum range is not higher than 5%, and when its depth is 1 cm, its absorption rate of solar radiation reaches more than 99%. The nanofluid medium in the present invention is a nanofluid composed of tiny particles suspended in water. Since the suspended particles can greatly absorb and scatter sunlight, the sunlight absorption rate of the nanofluid is much higher than that of pure water, its thermal conductivity is increased by more than 15% compared with pure water, and its viscosity is increased by no more than 5%. It has both good fluidity and heat storage capacity, and has good photothermal stability and recyclability.
[0045] In addition, the radiative cooler 12 in the thermal - cold coupling conversion module 10 preferably adopts a six - layer thin - film structure, including MgF2, TiO2, MgF2, SiN, SiO2, and MgF2 layers arranged in a stacked manner from top to bottom in sequence. The thickness range of each layer of film is 0.3 - 3.0μm, and spectral design is carried out by the characteristic matrix method, so that the emissivity peak of the multi - layer film radiative cooler overlaps and matches the atmospheric transmittance in the 8 - 13μm atmospheric window band and the radiative emissivity is not lower than 94%, and the reflectivity in the 0.25 - 2.5μm solar spectrum range is not lower than 90%, realizing the radiative cooling ability that can operate day and night.
[0046] The heat exchange regulation device 40 in the present invention preferably adopts a counter - flow plate - type heat exchanger structure, and optimizes the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger by adjusting the heat capacity flow ratio Rc and the number of heat transfer units Ntu between the nanofluid medium and air, where the NTU value is controlled at 2 - 8 and the Rc value is controlled at 0.2 - 1.5 to ensure that the heating / cooling air temperature meets the operating requirements in different seasons.
[0047] The control and switching unit 50 in the present invention is used to realize the switching and adjustment of the heat storage, heat supply, cold storage, and cold supply modes according to the external environmental parameters and the indoor heat load requirements.

[0050] Further, a nanofluid circulation pump 57 is provided on the outlet pipeline of the hot fluid channel 14, which is used to drive the nanofluid medium to circulate between the hot fluid channel 14, the heat storage container 20 and the medium heat exchange side of the heat exchange and regulation device 40; a liquid cold fluid circulation pump 58 is provided on the inlet pipeline of the cold storage container 30, which is used to drive the liquid cold fluid medium to circulate between the cold fluid channel 15, the cold storage container 30 and the medium heat exchange side of the heat exchange and regulation device 40; an air delivery fan 59 is provided on the outlet pipeline of the fifth three-way control valve 55, which is used to drive air to pass through the air heat exchange side of the heat exchange and regulation device 40 or directly through the cold fluid channel 15; each circulation pump and fan are equipped with variable frequency speed regulation and real-time feedback interfaces, and cooperate with the control and switching unit 50 to adjust the mass flow rate of each fluid, so as to realize the dynamic control of the supply air temperature, response rate and the overall energy efficiency of the system.
[0051] Further, the control and switching unit 50 further includes an environmental monitoring module and an execution control module.

Each sensor, control valve, circulation pump and air delivery fan are communicatively connected to the execution control module. The execution control module judges the current operating state based on the data collected by the environmental monitoring module and the target temperature or operating mode set by the user, and issues adjustment instructions through the built-in control logic to jointly control each control valve, each circulation pump and the fan in the system.
[0052] In summary, the integrated heat storage and cold storage solar heating and radiative cooling building energy-saving system of Embodiment 1 realizes the organic integration of solar heating and radiative cooling functions.

[0053] Embodiment 2: Control Method
[0054] Based on the hardware architecture and control valve configuration of the integrated heat storage and cold storage solar heating and radiative cooling building energy-saving system described in Embodiment 1, this Embodiment 2 further elaborates the intelligent control method of the system. Through key steps such as environmental parameter monitoring, fluid path reconstruction, and equipment coordinated regulation, it realizes the automatic switching and optimal control of four operating modes of heat storage, heat supply, cold storage and cold supply, and ensures that the system can maintain efficient and stable operation under different working conditions. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes the following steps when implemented:
[0055] SS1. Environmental parameter monitoring and operating mode judgment:
[0056] Collect the solar radiation intensity, outdoor ambient temperature, indoor air temperature, heat storage container temperature, cold storage container temperature, and the target temperature set by the user in real time. Analyze the current environmental conditions and the building heat load requirements based on the preset control logic to determine the operating mode that the system should adopt currently.
[0057] SS2. Initial state clearing of the loop and path preparation:
[0058] According to the determined operating mode, by coordinating the states of each three-way control valve, four-way control valve, circulation pump, and fan, clear the working fluid loops that are not currently participating in the operation, recover the hot fluid or cold fluid to the heat storage container or cold storage container respectively, and isolate the subsystem paths of non-current modes.
[0059] SS3. Fluid path construction and circulation establishment:
[0060] According to the determined operating mode, control the opening states of each three-way control valve and four-way control valve to reconfigure the fluid path. In the heat storage mode, clear the cold fluid channel and establish the circulation path between the hot fluid channel and the heat storage container. In the heating mode, connect the heat exchange loop between the heat storage container and the heat exchange and regulation device. In the cold storage mode, clear the hot fluid channel and establish the circulation path between the cold fluid channel and the cold storage container. In the cooling mode, select the direct cooling or energy storage cooling path according to the radiation cooling conditions.
[0061] SS4. Regulation and control of fluid conveying equipment:
[0062] Start and adjust the operating frequencies of the selected circulation pump and air delivery fan according to the current operating mode, control and adjust the mass flow rate of each fluid. Optimize the circulation rate of the nanofluid medium in the heat storage and heating modes to achieve the best solar energy absorption efficiency and heat exchange efficiency. In the cold storage and cooling modes, adjust the cold fluid circulation rate and air flow rate to achieve the optimal radiation cooling effect and indoor temperature control.
[0063] SS5. Temperature feedback and dynamic optimization:
[0064] Continuously monitor the temperature changes and energy efficiency indicators during the operation of the system. When it is detected that the indoor temperature deviates from the set target temperature, precisely control the supply air temperature by adjusting the fluid mass flow rate, heat capacity flow ratio Rc, and the number of transfer units Ntu parameters. At the same time, dynamically optimize the operation strategy according to the energy balance equation and the system performance evaluation index to ensure that the system can maintain efficient and stable operation under different seasons and day-night conditions and achieve the best energy-saving effect.
[0065] SS6. Mode switching and fault tolerance adjustment:
[0066] Under the conditions of sudden changes in external operating conditions or changes in user requirements, the operation mode switching process is triggered. First, the heat storage or cold storage energy of the system is preferentially retained, and then the path configuration, valve switching, and cycle regulation under the new mode are executed to ensure the stable, energy-saving operation of the system and its robustness.
[0067] In the heat storage mode, as Figure 4 shown, the control and switching unit 50 first coordinates and controls the opening states of the relevant control valves to empty the cold fluid channel 15, and all liquid cold fluid media are stored in the cold storage container 30 or discharged. Then, the second outlet of the third three-way control valve 52 leading to the cold storage container 30 is closed, and the first outlet leading to the hot fluid channel is opened. At the same time, the fourth three-way control valve 54 is completely closed to ensure that the cold fluid loop does not participate in the current operation. After that, the first three-way control valve 51 opens its inlet and first outlet and closes the second outlet to connect the outlet of the hot fluid channel 14 with the inlet of the heat storage container 20. The second three-way control valve 52 opens its second inlet and outlet and closes the first inlet to connect the outlet of the heat storage container 20 with the first inlet of the four-way control valve 56. And the four-way control valve 56 connects the first inlet and the first outlet at this time, and closes the second inlet and the second outlet. At the same time, the fifth three-way control valve 55 related to the air heat exchange side of the heat exchange regulating device 40 is completely closed, and only the flow path between the hot fluid channel 14 and the heat storage container 20 is retained to avoid unnecessary air heat exchange. In this heat storage state, the nanofluid medium flows in the hot fluid channel 14 driven by the circulation pump 57, absorbs the solar radiation energy passing through the top transparent cover plate 11, and enters the heat storage container 20 after heating for high-temperature sensible heat storage.
[0068] When it is necessary to switch from the heat storage mode to the heating mode, for the indoor heating demand under night or low irradiation conditions, the connection states of the first and second three-way control valves 51 and 52 and the four-way control valve 56 are maintained unchanged. The fifth three-way control valve 55 on the air heat exchange side of the heat exchange regulating device 40 is opened, and the air delivery fan 59 is started to exchange heat between the high-temperature nanofluid and the external supply air in the heat exchange regulating device 40 to achieve indoor heating, as Figure 5 shown; for the heating demand under high irradiation conditions during the day, a direct heating mode of collecting and heating simultaneously or a parallel mode of heating and heat storage is adopted. The first three-way control valve 51 is switched to connect the inlet and the second outlet and the first outlet is closed or partially opened, and the second three-way control valve 52 is switched to connect the first inlet and the outlet and the second inlet is closed or partially opened to achieve immediate use of the heat energy or dynamically divert part of the hot fluid into the heat storage container 20, as Figure 6 shown.
[0069] In the cold storage mode, as Figure 7As shown, the control and switching unit first coordinates and controls the opening states of the relevant control valves to empty the hot fluid channel, and stores all the nanofluid media in the heat storage container 20. Then, it closes all the control valves and the circulation pump 57 that are connected to the hot fluid channel 14 and the heat storage container 20. After that, it opens the inlet and the first outlet of the third three-way control valve 53 and closes the first outlet leading to the hot fluid channel 14, opens the first inlet and the outlet of the fourth three-way control valve 54 and closes the second inlet, and the four-way control valve 56 connects the second inlet and the first outlet while closing the other flow paths, ensuring that only the liquid cold fluid media in the cold storage container 30 enter the cold fluid channel 15 and ensuring that a circulation path is formed between the cold storage container 30 and the cold fluid channel 15. At the same time, the fifth three-way control valve 55 remains fully closed to avoid air heat exchange interfering with the cold storage process. In the cold storage state, the liquid cold fluid media flow in the cold fluid channel 15 driven by the circulation pump 58, radiate heat outward into outer space with a high emissivity within the wavelength range of 8 - 13 μm through the radiation cooler 12, and after the cold fluid media are cooled, they enter the cold storage container 30 for sensible heat storage, which is applicable to high-temperature daytime periods or nighttime cold source reserves.
[0070] When it is necessary to switch from the cold storage mode to the cooling mode, if the radiation cooling working conditions are good (such as high atmospheric window transparency and low external air temperature), the direct radiation cooling ventilation cooling mode is adopted. At this time, the third three-way control valve and the liquid cold fluid circulation pump 58 are closed, the second inlet and the outlet of the fourth three-way control valve 54 are switched to be connected and the first inlet is closed, the four-way control valve 56 is switched to connect the second inlet and the second outlet while closing the other flow paths. At the same time, the first inlet and the outlet of the fifth three-way control valve 55 are opened and the second inlet is closed, and the air delivery fan 59 is started, so that the air in the air environment directly contacts the radiation cooler 12 through the cold fluid channel 15 to achieve passive cooling, and the cooled air is sent into the indoor space through the fifth three-way control valve 55 to achieve cooling, and the liquid cold fluid media in the cold storage container 30 do not participate in the cooling, as Figure 8 shown.
[0071] When the radiation cooling working conditions are poor (such as cloud cover and too high external temperature), it is switched to the active cold source cooling mode. At this time, the second inlet of the fourth three-way control valve 54 is closed and the first inlet and the outlet are opened, and the four-way control valve 56 is switched to connect the second inlet and the first outlet while closing the other flow paths, so that the low-temperature liquid cold fluid media in the cold storage container 30 enter the media heat exchange side of the heat exchange and regulation device 40 through the cold fluid channel 15 and the four-way control valve 56. At the same time, the second inlet and the outlet of the fifth three-way control valve 55 are opened and the first inlet is closed, and the air delivery fan 59 is started to introduce air into the air heat exchange side of the heat exchange and regulation device 40, and perform forced heat exchange with the low-temperature cold fluid to cool the air and then send it into the indoor space to form cold storage-assisted cooling, as Figure 9 shown.
