DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example:
[0029] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The utility model discloses a heating system that combines geothermal energy and gas boilers, including a geothermal well 1, which is composed of a water supply well 101 and a return water well 102, which are used for water supply and return water respectively;
[0030] Heat exchange device 2, which consists of a heat exchanger 201, a heat exchange pipeline 202, a geothermal water pump 203 and a geothermal water tank 204. The heat exchanger 201 is arranged in the water supply well 101. The top of the heat exchanger 201 is connected to the geothermal water tank 204 through the heat exchange pipeline 202. The geothermal water pump 203 is arranged on the heat exchange pipeline 202.
[0031] Heat user 3, which includes a near-term user 301 and a far-term user 302, and the near-term user 301 and the far-term user 302 are connected to the geothermal water tank 204 through the near water supply pipe 4 and the far water supply pipe 5, respectively, and are connected to the return water well 102 through the near water return pipe 6 and the far water return pipe 7, respectively;
[0032] The end of the remote water supply pipe 5 is connected to a gas boiler 8 , and the beginning of the remote return water pipe 7 is connected to a water source heat pump 9 . Heat is exchanged between the water source heat pump 9 and the gas boiler 8 via a circulation pipe 10 .
[0033] In this embodiment, geothermal energy, as a pollution-free, renewable clean energy, has the advantages of huge quantity, renewable, low carbon, environmental protection, and local use compared to traditional fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas.
[0034] Therefore, observe Figure 1 It can be found that by providing a geothermal well 1 and using the water supply well 101 of the geothermal well 1 as the heat source of the geothermal water tank 204, the heat exchanger 201 can use geothermal energy to heat water, and then the heated water is pumped into the geothermal water tank 204 through the heat exchange pipeline 202 and the geothermal water pump 203 for water supply, which can effectively reduce the loss of fossil energy, provide stable and environmentally friendly heating services for the surrounding areas, and achieve the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0035] However, since the distance between the heat user 3 and the water supply well 101 is uncontrollable, the heat users 3 include the relatively close recent users 301 and the relatively distant future users 302. Therefore, the heat lost by the local hot water tank 204 when supplying water to the recent user 301 through the nearby water supply pipe 4 is much less than the heat lost when supplying water to the distant user 302 through the distant water supply pipe 5. Therefore, a gas boiler 8 is connected to the end of the distant water supply pipe 5, which can be used to compensate for the heat loss in the water supply to ensure the heating of the distant user 302.
[0036] Since the heat loss of the remote water supply pipe 5 is large when supplying water, the remote user 302 needs to perform additional heating when using water. Figure 1 It can be found that a water source heat pump 9 is provided at the beginning of the remote return water pipe 7, which is used to absorb the return water heat in the remote return water pipe 7, so that the absorbed heat heats the water in the circulation pipe 10, thereby compensating for the heat lost in the remote water supply pipe 5, thereby reducing the thermal energy required by the gas boiler 8 to heat the water, which can effectively improve the utilization of the heat in the return water and greatly reduce the loss of fossil energy.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange pipeline 202 is spirally arranged in the water supply well 101.
[0038] In this embodiment, by spirally arranging the heat exchange pipe 202 in the water supply well 101, the contact surface between the heat exchange pipe 202 and geothermal energy can be effectively increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange pipe 202 and further improving the heating efficiency.
[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, a water distributor 11 is provided on the near water supply pipe 4 and the far water supply pipe 5, and water is supplied to multiple heat users 3 through the water distributor 11;
[0040] The near return water pipe 6 and the far return water pipe 7 are provided with a water collector 12 , and the return water of multiple heat users 3 is collected together through the water collector 12 .
[0041] In this embodiment, since there are many recent users 301 and long-term users 302 and their distribution is not concentrated, the corresponding near water supply pipe 4 and far water supply pipe 5 need to be set with multiple branches according to demand, so Figure 1 It can be found that the water distributor 11 is provided on the near water supply pipe 4 and the far water supply pipe 5, and water is supplied to multiple heat users 3 through the water distributor 11, which can effectively improve the water supply efficiency.
[0042] As above, by providing the water collector 12 on the near return water pipe 6 and the far return water pipe 7, the efficiency of the return water can be improved.
[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the near water supply pipe 4 and the near water return pipe 6 are connected to a water mixer 13 through pipelines.
[0044] In this embodiment, since the heat loss of the near water supply pipe 4 and the near return pipe 6 is small when transporting hot water, the water in the near return pipe 6 contains more heat when returning water. Therefore, a water mixer 13 is connected between the near return pipe 6 and the near water supply pipe 4 through a pipeline. The returning hot water can be mixed with the hot water supply through the water mixer 13, which can greatly reduce energy consumption and improve the thermal efficiency of the system.
[0045] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water source heat pump 9 is composed of a compressor 901, a condenser 902, an evaporator 903 and a throttle valve 904. The input end and the output end of the compressor 901 are connected to the condenser 902 and the evaporator 903 respectively. The condenser 902 and the evaporator 903 are connected through a pipeline, and a throttle valve 904 is provided on the pipeline.
[0046] The remote return water pipe 7 passes through the evaporator 903 , and the circulation pipe 10 passes through the condenser 902 .
[0047] In this embodiment, the compressor 901 is provided so that the medium flowing in the pipes of the water source heat pump 9 can be vaporized in the evaporator 903 to absorb heat and liquefied in the condenser 902 to release heat, so that heat is continuously exchanged and transferred.
[0048] Therefore, by passing the remote return water pipe 7 through the evaporator 903, the evaporator 903 can absorb the heat of the return water in the remote return water pipe 7 when evaporating and absorbing heat, and then heat the water in the circulation pipe 10 when the medium releases heat in the condenser 902, so as to enhance the thermal energy utilization of the water.
[0049] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
