Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of adsorption refrigeration technology, and in particular to a solar-driven split adsorption refrigeration heat pipe for permafrost protection. Background Technology
[0002] Most permafrost regions are widely distributed in high-latitude or high-altitude areas, and their thermal stability has a decisive impact on the safe operation of infrastructure. With climate warming and increased engineering activities, permafrost degradation, thaw settlement, and thermal disturbance are becoming increasingly prominent issues, and have become important factors restricting the long-term service of transportation engineering, energy engineering, and building engineering.
[0003] Existing permafrost cooling and thermal stabilization technologies mainly include ventilated roadbeds made of stones, thermosiphons, and active cooling systems. Among these, ventilated roadbeds and thermosiphons rely solely on natural heat dissipation, and their effectiveness is significantly affected by seasonal changes, resulting in insufficient cooling capacity during summer or transitional seasons. While active cooling systems can provide stable cooling capacity, they suffer from high energy consumption, complex operation and maintenance, and strong dependence on external energy sources, making them unsuitable for long-term unattended operation in remote permafrost areas.
[0004] Adsorption refrigeration technology utilizes the phase change and thermal effects that occur during the adsorption and desorption of the working fluid. It can achieve cooling output driven by a low-grade heat source and has advantages such as simple structure, reliable operation, and no need for electricity. In particular, the adsorption system using ammonia as the working fluid has the characteristics of low cooling temperature, large latent heat, and strong environmental adaptability, and has good application potential in the field of permafrost cooling.
[0005] However, existing adsorption refrigeration systems are mostly used in building air conditioning or industrial cooling scenarios. They are complex in structure, large in size, and usually require external cooling water or air cooling, making them difficult to directly adapt to the requirements of compact structure, passive operation, and long-term stability in permafrost engineering. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of device that can organically integrate solar energy, adsorption refrigeration, and heat pipe structure to achieve efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance cooling in permafrost regions. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a solar-driven split adsorption cooling heat pipe for permafrost protection. By integrating a solar adsorption unit, a condensation unit, and an evaporation unit, it achieves active cooling without the need for external power, thereby effectively reducing permafrost temperature, suppressing thermal disturbances, and improving the long-term stability of engineering foundations.

It is filled with liquid refrigerant, which is used to evaporate and absorb heat from the permafrost to achieve permafrost cooling. The connecting pipe connects the solar adsorption unit and the condensation unit, and is used to form a closed loop of the refrigerant inside the system. The charging unit is located on the condensing unit or the connecting pipeline and is used for charging the refrigerant. The supporting component is used to support and fix the angle of the solar adsorption unit to ensure that it is in a suitable position for receiving solar radiation.
[0008] Furthermore, the solar adsorption unit includes an adsorption bed, a solid adsorbent, a mass transfer pore tube, a connecting flange, and a solar collector tube, wherein: The adsorption bed is filled with a solid adsorbent; The solid adsorbent is composed of an adsorbent material that physically or chemically adsorbs the refrigerant, or a composite material thereof with a high thermal conductivity material. The mass transfer pore tube is disposed inside the solid adsorbent to enable the diffusion of gaseous refrigeration working fluid molecules inside the solid adsorbent. The connecting flange connects the solar adsorption unit to the connecting pipeline, and is used to achieve a sealed connection between the solar adsorption unit and the connecting pipeline, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the solar adsorption unit and thus improves the engineering adaptability of the device. The solar collector tube is located on the outside of the adsorption bed and is used to absorb solar radiation and transfer heat to the inside of the adsorption bed.
[0009] Preferably, the solar collector tube is a vacuum collector tube structure, or a collector tube structure with a selective absorption coating and a light-transmitting heat insulation layer, in order to improve solar energy absorption efficiency and reduce heat loss to the environment.

[0012] Furthermore, the evaporation unit is a closed tubular structure, and the evaporation unit is directly connected to the bottom of the condensation unit, or connected to the condensation unit through a tapering tube.
[0013] Furthermore, the evaporation unit is filled with a liquid refrigerant, the filling amount being 10% to 80% of the volume, and the liquid refrigerant includes methanol, ethanol, ammonia, or a fluorinated refrigerant.

[0017] By employing the above technical solutions, this invention has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art: 1. Unlike traditional thermosiphons that rely on ambient temperature differences to drive phase change cycles, this invention introduces an active adsorption refrigeration mechanism. It uses solar energy as the primary input for system operation, altering the equilibrium state of the working fluid through physical or chemical adsorption between the adsorbent and the refrigerant, thereby significantly increasing the driving force of the refrigeration cycle. During the adsorption-desorption process of the active adsorption cycle, the phase change of the working fluid no longer depends solely on the ambient temperature difference but is dominated by changes in the adsorption equilibrium. This allows the system to achieve lower evaporation pressures and lower refrigeration temperatures, strengthening the original natural phase change cycle. Especially in summer or under conditions where the surface and underground temperature difference is insufficient and traditional phase change cycles are difficult to initiate, this invention can still continuously generate refrigeration through adsorption cycles, fundamentally overcoming the dependence of permafrost cooling on natural temperature differences. 2. This invention discloses a solar-driven, split-type adsorption-cooling heat pipe for permafrost protection. It employs a split, modular structural design, allowing the amount of refrigerant used in the adsorption cycle to be configured according to engineering requirements, thus achieving customized cooling capacity. By selecting combinations of the number of solar adsorption units, the size of the adsorption bed, and the volume and number of condensing and evaporating units, differentiated modular deployment schemes can be formed for different permafrost regions and varying thermal disturbance intensities. Furthermore, the units are detachably connected via flanges and pipelines, allowing for replacement, maintenance, or expansion without affecting the overall structural layout, enhancing the adaptability and maintainability of the device in long-term engineering applications. 3. This invention discloses a solar-driven, separate adsorption refrigeration heat pipe for permafrost protection. It aims to achieve low-energy, stable cooling in permafrost regions by integrating a solar adsorption unit, a condensation unit, and an evaporation unit, utilizing active adsorption and natural phase change cycles. The device absorbs solar radiation heat through the solar adsorption unit, driving the active adsorption cycle. This allows the refrigerant to undergo physical or chemical adsorption and desorption within the adsorbent, reducing the system's evaporation pressure, enhancing heat and mass transfer efficiency, and improving cooling performance. The condensation and evaporation units are connected by pipelines to form a natural phase change cycle. The evaporation unit is buried in the permafrost, achieving cooling through the evaporation and heat absorption of the liquid refrigerant. Compared to traditional technologies, this invention requires no external power and is suitable for long-term unattended operation in remote permafrost areas. Furthermore, the split, modular structural design allows for the configuration of the refrigerant used in the adsorption cycle according to project requirements, achieving customized cooling capacity. This invention has advantages such as simple structure, high energy efficiency, and convenient maintenance, and has broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example 2 This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, provides an operational scheme for a solar-driven, split-type adsorption refrigeration heat pipe for permafrost protection. Through these measures, this embodiment aims to improve the cooling effect and long-term stability of the heat pipe system in high-altitude permafrost regions.
[0034] In practical applications, compared with methanol, ethanol, and fluorinated refrigerants, ammonia has higher refrigeration efficiency and lower energy consumption. Furthermore, it can fully utilize phase change and thermal effects during the adsorption-desorption process to drive a low-grade heat source to achieve a lower refrigeration temperature. In this embodiment, the maximum temperature of the solar collector tubes 1-5 can exceed the ambient temperature by more than 40°C. The specific temperature is affected by the heat dissipation conditions of the light intensity, and the ambient temperature is generally between 20°C and 30°C. The solid adsorbent 1-2 is selected from halides and sulfide-expanded graphite, with ammonia as the refrigerant, to achieve an adsorption-refrigeration cycle.
[0035] The solar adsorption unit 1, condensation unit 2, filling unit 4, connecting pipe 5, and supporting components 6 are installed above ground, while the evaporation unit 3 is inserted into the frozen soil. The diameter of the evaporation unit 3 is 50mm-120mm, and its length can be adjusted according to the needs of roadbed control, typically set to 2m to 20m. The length of the condensation unit 2 is 1m to 5m. Regarding materials, the parts in contact with the working fluid, such as the mass transfer pore pipe 1-1, adsorption bed 1-3, connecting flange 1-4, condensation shell 2-1, evaporation unit 3, filling pipe 4-1, filling valve 4-2, manifold 5-1, and hose 5-2, are all made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
[0036] The condensing unit 2 is equipped with baffles to optimize the airflow path. These baffles are spaced apart along the working fluid flow direction, and their size, number, angle, and spacing can be adjusted according to specific flow requirements to ensure the working fluid remains in the condensing unit 2 for a sufficient time, thereby enhancing heat exchange. The condensing unit 2 and the evaporating unit 3 are connected by a tapered tube, the inner diameter of which is not less than the minimum inner diameter allowed for natural evaporation and reflux of the working fluid. If more efficient fluid control is required, self-regulating pipes or more precise fluid guiding devices can be considered as alternatives to improve the overall system performance.
[0037] The solar adsorption heat pipe for permafrost cooling operates in two modes: active adsorption cycle and natural phase change cycle. The active adsorption cycle includes four processes: heating desorption, condensation heat release, evaporation cooling, and cooling adsorption. During the day, the solar collector tubes 1-5 absorb solar radiation to heat the adsorption bed 1-3, driving the solid adsorbent 1-2 to desorb ammonia gas under heating. Then, the desorbed ammonia gas enters the condensation unit 2 through the connecting pipe 5, condensing into a liquid state at a lower ambient temperature and releasing heat. Under gravity, the liquid ammonia enters the evaporation unit 3. At night, the solar collector unit 1 cools naturally, creating an adsorption pressure difference between the liquid ammonia and the solid adsorbent 1-2, driving the liquid ammonia to evaporate and absorb heat, cooling the soil. Simultaneously, the evaporated gaseous ammonia is adsorbed by the solid adsorbent 1-2. The natural phase change cycle is consistent with the working process of a traditional thermosiphon, relying on natural heat dissipation. When the ambient temperature is lower than the permafrost temperature, the liquid ammonia in condensation unit 2 flows out due to gravity and enters evaporation unit 3 through the converging tube. In evaporation unit 3, the liquid ammonia absorbs heat from the surrounding environment at low temperatures and evaporates into a vapor state, thus lowering the permafrost temperature. Driven by the temperature potential difference, the vaporized ammonia returns to condensation unit 2 through evaporation, condenses in condensation unit 2, and releases heat into the atmosphere, forming a self-circulating process. Through the coupling of the adsorption cycle and the phase change cycle, the system can operate at a lower evaporation pressure, thereby effectively reducing the refrigeration temperature, enhancing heat and mass transfer efficiency, and improving the overall refrigeration effect.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
