Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of comprehensive application of solar photovoltaic and thermal energy, and particularly relates to a PVT photovoltaic electric water heater with phase change material. Background Art

[0002] Solar energy is increasingly being used as a clean and sustainable energy source. Solar energy utilization is mainly divided into two aspects: photovoltaic and solar thermal. The application of solar thermal is mainly solar water heaters, which mainly convert sunlight directly into heat. Solar water heaters are divided into vacuum tube solar water heaters and flat plate solar water heaters. Vacuum tube solar water heaters have the disadvantage of fragile vacuum tubes. The disadvantage of flat plate solar water heaters is that water cannot flow directly in the flat plate and it does not have antifreeze function. Traditional solar photovoltaic power generation devices waste a lot of heat energy while generating electricity, resulting in low energy utilization rate. PVT photovoltaic panels combine photovoltaic and solar thermal to achieve a higher comprehensive utilization rate of solar energy. PVT photovoltaic panels reduce the temperature of the battery panel, improve power generation efficiency, and improve solar energy utilization rate by circulating heat transfer medium in the flow channel on the back of the photovoltaic panel. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model combines a PVT photovoltaic panel with an electric water heater and designs a PVT photovoltaic electric water heater with phase change material. While increasing the power generation power of the photovoltaic panel, the cold water is heated before entering the water tank, thereby reducing the heating temperature difference of the electric water heater and achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problems existing in the known technology is:

[0005] The utility model belongs to the field of solar photovoltaic and thermal comprehensive application technology, and particularly relates to a PVT photovoltaic electric water heater with phase change material, including: PVT photovoltaic panel, water tank, electric three-way valve, controller, connecting pipe; PVT photovoltaic panel is composed of photovoltaic panel, phase change material, serpentine flow channel, PVT insulation, back plate; water tank is composed of outer skin, inner tank, water tank insulation, DC heating pipe, AC heating pipe, water inlet pipe, and water outlet pipe; PVT photovoltaic panel generates electricity, which is transmitted to DC heating pipe through controller. When the power generation of PVT photovoltaic panel cannot meet the requirements, AC heating pipe is used to heat the water tank; when the temperature of cold water is lower than the temperature of phase change thermal storage material, cold water passes through the serpentine flow channel inside PVT photovoltaic panel, exchanges heat with phase change thermal storage material, and enters the water tank after being heated. When the temperature of cold water is higher than the temperature of phase change thermal storage material, cold water directly enters the water tank. The advantages are: the phase change material cools the PVT photovoltaic panel and improves the power generation efficiency of the PVT photovoltaic panel. After the cold water is heated by the phase change material, the heating temperature difference of the electric water heater is reduced, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving.
