Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology, and particularly relates to a spiral buried pipe energy pile-photovoltaic coupled residential fresh air system. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards in my country, people's requirements for indoor air quality have entered a new stage. Currently, introducing fresh air into residential buildings faces many challenges. For example, rapid urbanization has led to a significant increase in car ownership, and vehicle exhaust emissions from roads surrounding residences mean that outdoor air quality is insufficient to directly meet indoor cleanliness and ventilation requirements. At the same time, increasing the amount of pollution-free fresh air indoors also helps reduce the chances of indoor virus survival.
[0003] According to relevant researchers, the energy consumption for fresh air treatment in air conditioning systems accounts for 25%-30% of the total energy consumption, and can be as high as 40% for high-end hotels and office buildings. Therefore, the increase in energy consumption for fresh air treatment in my country each year due to the promotion of fresh air systems in residential buildings will be considerable.
[0004] Energy piles combine building pile foundations with buried pipe heat exchangers, utilizing the relatively stable soil temperature below 5m above the ground, which is approximately equal to the local annual average temperature. The soil serves as the heat source and cold source for the air conditioning system. Currently proposed soil-based air conditioning systems are less affected by the outdoor environment throughout the year, and their stable operation effectively reduces energy consumption. However, the installed capacity of energy pile systems is limited by the number of piles and the heat exchange area of the buried pipes. Furthermore, the related pumps and water source heat pumps still consume a significant amount of electricity during operation. These drawbacks restrict the application of this green air conditioning system in practical engineering projects. Therefore, designing a new type of energy pile system that increases the heat exchange capacity of a single pile foundation while reducing the overall system's energy consumption has become a key focus in the field of energy pile applications. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a spiral buried pipe energy pile-photovoltaic coupled residential fresh air system. It utilizes clean and renewable geothermal energy to achieve the cooling and heating functions of the fresh air unit, and uses solar coupling to provide the electrical energy required by the equipment. While increasing the heat exchange of a single pile foundation, it can greatly reduce energy consumption.
[0006] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.
[0007] A spiral buried pipe energy pile-photovoltaic coupled residential fresh air system includes a spiral buried pipe energy pile unit, a fresh air introduction unit, a fresh air treatment module, a photovoltaic power supply module, and an indoor air supply unit. The spiral buried pipe energy pile unit is connected to the heat exchanger inlet and outlet of the fresh air treatment module via water pipes. The air inlet of the fresh air treatment module is connected to the fresh air introduction unit, and the air outlet is connected to the indoor air supply unit. The photovoltaic power supply module supplies power to the fresh air treatment module and the spiral buried pipe energy pile unit.
[0008] Furthermore, the spiral buried pipe energy pile unit includes multiple spiral buried pipe heat exchangers pre-embedded in the building pile foundation. The spiral buried pipe heat exchangers are connected to a water collector through a horizontal water collection pipe. The water collector is connected to the condenser in the fresh air treatment module through a water pipe, and a ground source side water supply pump is installed on the connecting pipe. The condenser is also connected to a water distributor through a water pipe. The water distributor is connected to the spiral buried pipe heat exchangers through a horizontal water distribution pipe, forming a complete loop.
[0009] Furthermore, the fresh air handling module includes a fresh air re-filter, an evaporator, a supply fan, a check valve, a condenser, a compressor, and a four-way reversing valve. The outdoor fresh air introduced by the fresh air introduction unit exchanges heat with the Freon output by the compressor on the surface of the evaporator through the fresh air re-filter, and then is sent out from the air outlet of the fresh air handling module to the indoor air supply unit by the supply fan. The four-way reversing valve is connected to the compressor, condenser, and evaporator, and realizes the switching between the condenser and evaporator based on the four-way reversing valve to achieve the cooling and heating functions.
[0010] Furthermore, the fresh air introduction unit includes a rectangular duct, the front of which is buried underground and the inlet extends to the ground surface. The rear of the rectangular duct is connected to the air inlet of the fresh air treatment module. An insect screen is installed at the inlet of the rectangular duct, and a rainproof vent is installed above the inlet of the rectangular duct. Outdoor fresh air undergoes preheating with the soil through the buried rectangular duct before entering the fresh air treatment module for filtration and heat / cold treatment.
[0011] Furthermore, the indoor air supply unit includes an air supply duct, one end of which is connected to the air outlet of the fresh air handling module, and the other end extends into the room with an air supply louvered outlet installed at the lower end.
[0012] Furthermore, the photovoltaic power supply module includes solar panels arranged on the roof. The solar panels absorb solar heat energy and convert it into direct current, which is collected through a combiner box, converted into alternating current by an inverter, and connected to a distribution box to power the compressor and the ground source water pump. Excess electrical energy is stored in a battery bank, which discharges at night.
[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes soil energy and solar energy to process outdoor fresh air, providing users with fresh air that meets the indoor heating and cooling load requirements of buildings. Compared to traditional direct-buried ground source heat pump heat exchangers, the spiral buried pipe energy pile-photovoltaic coupled residential fresh air system of this invention, combined with the building's pile foundation, saves on the land area and drilling costs associated with pipe laying. Furthermore, compared to unidirectional flow fan-based fresh air systems, this spiral buried pipe energy pile-photovoltaic coupled residential fresh air system, powered by photovoltaics, significantly reduces daily operating costs, providing users with clean and inexpensive fresh air. This invention utilizes clean and renewable geothermal energy to achieve the cooling and heating functions of the fresh air unit, and employs solar energy coupling to provide the necessary electrical energy for the equipment, greatly reducing energy consumption while increasing the heat exchange capacity of a single pile foundation.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the fresh air introduction unit 4 includes a rainproof vent 4-1, an insect-proof net 4-2, and a rectangular duct 4-3. The front of the rectangular duct 4-3 is buried underground, with its front end (i.e., the inlet) extending beyond the ground surface.
