Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar phase change energy storage and water source heat pump heating, in particular to a solar phase change and soil heat storage heat pump system for agricultural greenhouses. Background Art

[0002] The large-scale construction of greenhouses in the cold northern regions not only solves the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables for local residents, but also solves the diversified development of the rural economy (such as greenhouse breeding, seedling cultivation, etc.), providing strong support for the revitalization of the rural economy.

[0003] The "Encyclopedia of Chinese Agriculture: Vegetable Volume" describes the suitable production temperatures for different vegetables as follows: general vegetable crops grow slowly at 5℃~10℃; grow normally at 10℃~20℃; grow faster at 20℃~35℃; when the temperature exceeds 35℃ and is below 5℃, the growth of vegetable crops will be impaired; the suitable growth temperature is between 20℃~30℃.

[0004] Therefore, in cold northern regions, the air temperature in greenhouses must not be lower than a certain temperature (10°C) at night and in rainy, snowy and cloudy weather, which is the key to ensure the normal growth of plants. To ensure the temperature in the greenhouse, a heat source must be provided, which consumes a certain amount of energy.

[0005] At present, the main heat sources for greenhouse heating are coal-fired, gas-fired boilers and air source heat pumps. Coal-fired and gas-fired boilers consume a large amount of fossil energy and cause serious pollution to the environment. Air source heat pumps do not require heating in the high-efficiency area of ​​the greenhouse during the day, but the heating load required in the low-efficiency area at night is very large, resulting in large investment and high operating costs.

[0006] The characteristic of greenhouses is that during the day, the soil and plants absorb solar energy to generate heat, which creates a greenhouse effect in the greenhouse, with the temperature reaching 20℃ or even above 30℃; at night, due to the lack of solar energy supplement, the heat dissipation of the enclosure structure causes the temperature in the greenhouse to drop continuously. Therefore, how to move the abundant heat during the day to the night and maintain the temperature in the greenhouse at night is the key to solving the problem, which can greatly reduce energy consumption.

[0007] The existing patent document with patent announcement number CN216314321U discloses a solar phase change heat storage soil heating greenhouse heating system, but the patent has shortcomings in transferring the abundant heat of the agricultural greenhouse during the day to the evening for use:

[0008] During the night heating process in winter or when the ambient temperature is low, a large amount of electricity will be consumed due to the low evaporation temperature, resulting in increased energy consumption in the night heating process. Utility Model Content

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the solar thermal collection unit 12, the phase change energy storage unit 11 and the soil energy storage unit are connected to form a solar energy storage cycle system.

[0041] The water source heat pump 10 has a high operating efficiency, especially when the ambient temperature is low, such as in winter, because the water temperature is higher than the air temperature, so the water source heat pump cycle evaporation temperature and energy efficiency ratio will be improved.

[0047] Furthermore, the water source heat pump 10 includes a compressor, a water-fluorine shell and tube evaporator, a water-fluorine shell and tube condenser and a throttle valve connected in series to form a loop:

[0050] Furthermore, the control unit includes a controller, a first temperature sensing probe, a second temperature sensing probe, a third temperature sensing probe and a fourth temperature sensing probe, the first temperature sensing probe, the second temperature sensing probe, the third temperature sensing probe and the fourth temperature sensing probe are electrically connected to the controller, the first temperature sensing probe is placed in the solar collector, the second temperature sensing probe is placed in the phase change energy storage box, the third temperature sensing probe is placed in the greenhouse one meter above the ground, and the fourth temperature sensing probe is placed on the soil 20-30 cm above the ground.

[0051] Furthermore, the control unit also includes a first circulating water pump 7, a second circulating water pump 8, a first electric valve 1, a second electric valve 2, a third electric valve 3, a fourth electric valve 4 and a fifth electric valve 5, and the controller is electrically connected to the first electric valve 1, the second electric valve 2, the third electric valve 3, the fourth electric valve 4, the fifth electric valve 5, the first circulating water pump 7, the second circulating water pump 8 and the water source heat pump 10.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the outlet of the solar thermal collection unit 12 is connected to the inlet of the first circulating water pump 7, the outlet of the first circulating water pump 7 is connected to the inlet of the phase change energy storage unit 11 through the third electric valve 3, the outlet of the phase change energy storage unit 11 is connected to the inlet of the solar thermal collection unit 12 through the fourth electric valve 4, the outlet of the phase change energy storage unit 11 is also connected to the water distributor 14 end of the soil energy storage unit, and the water collector 15 end of the soil energy storage unit is connected to the inlet of the solar thermal collection unit 12 through the fifth electric valve 5.

[0053] During energy storage, the high temperature heat generated by the solar thermal collection unit 12 is first stored and cooled by the phase change energy storage unit 11, then stored and cooled by the soil energy storage unit, and then returns to the solar thermal collection unit 12, forming a thermal cycle.

[0054] Furthermore, the outlet of the first circulating water pump 7 is also connected to the inlet of the water-fluorine shell and tube condenser of the water source heat pump 10, the outlet of the water-fluorine shell and tube evaporator of the water source heat pump 10 is connected to the inlet of the second circulating water pump 8, the outlet of the second circulating water pump 8 is further connected to the inlet of the phase change energy storage unit 11, the outlet of the phase change energy storage unit 11 is connected to the inlet of the water-fluorine shell and tube evaporator of the water source heat pump 10 through the second electric valve 2, and the outlet of the water-fluorine shell and tube condenser of the water source heat pump 10 is connected to the inlet of the solar collector through the first electric valve 1.

[0055] When providing heat, the water source heat pump 10 extracts heat from the phase change energy storage tank and uses a small amount of electric energy to raise the temperature to provide heat to the greenhouse.

[0056] In the utility model, the solar phase change and soil heat storage heat pump system for agricultural greenhouses also includes an auxiliary heat source 9, which is connected in parallel between the solar heat collection unit 12 and the phase change energy storage unit 11. A sixth electric valve 6 is provided on the connecting pipeline of the auxiliary heat source 9, and the sixth electric valve 6 is electrically connected to the controller. When the phase change energy storage unit 11 cannot meet the heating needs of the water source heat pump 10, the auxiliary heat source 9 is started for auxiliary heating.

[0057] The control process of the solar phase change and soil heat storage heat pump system for agricultural greenhouses of the utility model includes three operation modes: energy storage mode, heating mode and auxiliary energy heating mode:

[0058] Assume that the core temperature of the solar collector is T b , the set temperature of the solar collector is T o (generally set to 25-35℃), the air temperature in the greenhouse is T i ,

[0059] The temperature inside the phase change energy storage box is T h , the set temperature of the phase change energy storage box is T a (generally set to 35-45℃), soil temperature is T s ,

[0060] The controller controls the start and stop of the first electric valve, the second electric valve, the third electric valve, the fourth electric valve, the fifth electric valve and the sixth electric valve (electric three-way valve), the first circulating water pump, the second circulating water pump and the heat pump according to the temperature signals of each temperature probe;

[0061] Energy storage mode:

[0062] When T b -T o>ΔT1 (where ΔT1 is the starting temperature difference set for solar thermal collection), start the first circulation water pump 7, open the third electric valve 3, open the fifth electric valve 5, close the first electric valve 1, close the fourth electric valve 4, and close the second electric valve 2. At this time, the solar thermal collector absorbs solar radiation energy and converts it into heat energy and stores it in the phase change energy storage unit and the soil. The high-temperature heat generated by the solar thermal collector is first stored and cooled in the phase change heat storage unit, and then stored and cooled in the soil and returned to the solar thermal collector, forming a thermal cycle;

[0063] When T s >T1 (where T1 is the upper limit of the soil temperature setting, such as 25°C), the fourth electric valve 4 is opened, and the fifth electric valve 5 is closed, and the heat generated by the solar collector is only used to heat the phase change energy storage unit;

[0064] When T h >T2 (where T2 is the upper temperature limit set in the phase change energy storage box, such as 45°C), turn off the first circulating water pump 7, close the third electric valve 3 and the fourth electric valve 4, and stop energy storage;

[0065] 2. Heating mode:

[0066] When T i <T3 (where T3 is the lower limit of the air temperature in the greenhouse in heating mode, such as 10°C), the first circulating water pump 7 is turned on, the second circulating water pump 8 is turned on, the first electric valve 1 is opened, the second electric valve 2 is opened, the third electric valve 3 is closed, the fourth electric valve 4 is closed, and the fifth electric valve 5 is closed. At this time, the water source heat pump 10 can heat the greenhouse by extracting heat from the phase change energy storage tank and only needs a small amount of electric energy to raise the temperature;

[0067] When T i >T4 (where T4 is the upper limit of the air temperature in the greenhouse in the heating mode, such as 15°C), turn off the first circulating water pump 6 and the second circulating water pump 7 to stop heating;

[0068] 3. Auxiliary energy heating mode

[0071] The technology of solar thermal collection, phase change thermal storage, soil thermal storage and water source heat pump is integrated into one, which can heat up the greenhouse during the day and store it in the phase change thermal storage tank to meet the needs of agricultural greenhouses to increase temperature at night.

[0072] The energy transfer across time is completed, which not only increases the temperature of agricultural greenhouse at night, but also realizes the peak shifting and valley filling of solar energy.

[0073] By using a water source heat pump to extract heat from the phase change energy storage unit, only a small amount of electricity is needed to raise the temperature for greenhouse heating. The energy consumption during operation is extremely low, which can greatly reduce energy consumption.
