Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic light heat equipment, specifically is a photovoltaic light heat radiator. BACKGROUND

[0002] Photovoltaic light heat (PVT) radiator refers to the working waste heat generated by the working photovoltaic module being collected and taken away by the liquid working medium flowing in the radiator, so as to reduce the working temperature of the photovoltaic module and improve the power generation efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, the photovoltaic light heat radiator generally adopts a blown plate radiator or a stainless steel flat plate collector.

[0004] The principle of the blown plate radiator is that the heat is taken away by the high-speed flowing liquid / gas in the radiator, so as to effectively reduce the temperature of the external equipment. The blown plate is composed of two layers of metal materials, the inner layer is a metal with high thermal expansion coefficient, and the outer layer is a metal with low thermal expansion coefficient. The two layers of metal are connected together by brazing or other methods to form an integral structure. When the blown plate is heated, the expansion coefficient of the inner layer metal is greater than that of the outer layer metal, which causes the blown plate to bend outward, the gap between the fins becomes narrower, the path of the air flow becomes longer, and the air speed becomes slower. The main disadvantage is that the flow resistance is very large, and the heat exchange efficiency is poor. Secondly, the pressure bearing capacity is not enough, and the bulging phenomenon often occurs.

[0005] The heat absorber of the stainless steel flat plate collector is made of two pieces of ultra-pure ferrite stainless steel flat plates, which are plasticized into an integral plate flow channel through a 1600T press, a forming die, and then welded by water-invasive pulse welding and resistance welding around, and finally made after double ultra-cleaning and 100% pressure test and leakage test. The main disadvantage is that the heat exchange efficiency of stainless steel is poor, and the weight is heavy and difficult to install.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a photovoltaic light heat radiator, which is easy to install and ensures stable and reliable operation, high heat exchange efficiency in use. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0036] Each group of micro-channel flat tubes 20 is arranged in a flat manner, and in the longitudinal section state, the micro-channel flat tube 20 is arranged with several micro-channels 21 arranged at intervals along the width direction;

[0037] The shape of the flat groove 11 is correspondingly shaped to the outer contour of the micro-channel flat tube 20, the two groups of manifolds 10 are arranged in parallel and at intervals, and the corresponding flat grooves 11 at the corresponding positions are arranged in pairs, respectively, one by one, the corresponding ends of each micro-channel flat tube 20 are respectively inserted into the flat grooves 11 of the corresponding manifolds 10 and welded to seal, and the two manifolds 10 and the several groups of micro-channel flat tubes 20 are combined to form an overall structure;

[0038] The middle region heat exchange surface 201 of the micro-channel flat tube 20 is flush with the support mounting edge 101 of the two side manifolds 10, so that when mounted, the middle region heat exchange surface 201 of the micro-channel flat tube 20 is arranged to fit the surface of the corresponding photovoltaic module.

[0039] In specific embodiments, the length direction both ends of the micro-channel flat tube 20 are provided with a guide transition area 202, the middle region of the length direction of the micro-channel flat tube 20 is a heat exchange region 203, and the middle region heat exchange surface 201 of the heat exchange region 203 is used to fit the surface of the corresponding photovoltaic module, and the guide transition area 202 is used to guide the bending transition of the medium entering the heat exchange region 203 from the flat groove 11, to ensure the smooth and reliable flow of the medium;

[0040] The micro-channel flat tube 20 is also provided with a convex avoiding area 204 corresponding to the position of the photovoltaic power generation terminal, and the convex avoiding area 204 is shaped to the convex shape of the photovoltaic power generation terminal;

[0041] When arranged, each photovoltaic power generation terminal is arranged in the width region of a single group of micro-channel flat tubes 20, so that each photovoltaic power generation terminal only needs to adjust the corresponding convex avoiding area 204 of a group of micro-channel flat tubes 20, so that the radiator is simple to manufacture;

[0042] The raised avoidance area 204 includes an ascending slope section 1, a horizontal section 2, and a descending slope section 3. The raised avoidance area 204 ensures smooth and reliable flow of the medium.

[0043] A gap 30 is left between adjacent microchannel flat tubes 20 along the length direction of the header 10 .

[0051] In specific implementation, in order to ensure that the pressure drop of the medium is within a reasonable range, when the length of the manifold pipe 10 is relatively long, the water inlet and outlet holes 12 are arranged at both ends of the length direction of the manifold pipe 10, each group of water inlet and outlet holes 12 is connected with a group of water distributors, and each group of water distributors covers the medium of the corresponding number of flat grooves 11 in the half length region of the manifold pipe, so that the medium flows uniformly and reliably.

[0052] The working principle is as follows: the middle region heat exchange surface of the micro-channel flat tube is attached to the surface of the corresponding photovoltaic module through the heat-conducting silica gel, then one of the manifold pipes is used as the medium inlet, the other is used as the medium outlet, a water distributor is arranged in the medium inlet manifold pipe, so that the medium entering from the water inlet and outlet hole is evenly distributed and then flows into each group of flat grooves, then flows along each micro-channel of each group of micro-channel flat tubes to the manifold pipe corresponding to the medium outlet, and then flows out from the water inlet and outlet hole of the manifold pipe corresponding to the medium outlet, the middle region heat exchange surface of the micro-channel flat tube fully and reliably exchanges heat with the photovoltaic module, the micro-channel flat tube has small self weight, is convenient to install, and ensures stable and reliable operation, high heat exchange efficiency in use.
