[0002] Solar energy and air source heat pumps are emerging renewable energy sources that have gained popularity in recent years. Due to their environmental friendliness, renewability, and widespread availability, they occupy an important position in the utilization of new energy sources in buildings. However, as their application expands, their drawbacks are becoming increasingly apparent. For example, increased panel temperature reduces photovoltaic efficiency, the stability of solar energy use is limited, and air source heat pumps suffer from problems such as frosting, severely impacting operational performance.
[0003] Therefore, proposing a novel PVT-air source dual-source heat pump system to solve the difficulties existing in the prior art is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a novel PVT-air source dual-source heat pump system, which significantly reduces operating costs and overcomes the problem of discontinuous renewable energy time through multi-energy complementarity, ensuring stable and efficient building energy supply.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A novel PVT-air source dual-source heat pump system includes PVT components, a refrigerator, an air-antifreeze heat exchanger, a water source heat pump unit, a plate heat exchanger, an energy storage tank, air conditioning terminals, and circulation pipelines.
[0007] The water source heat pump unit is divided into an evaporator side and a condenser side. The evaporator side is connected in parallel to the PVT module, air-antifreeze heat exchanger and storage refrigerator through a circulation pipeline. The condenser side is connected to a plate heat exchanger.
[0008] The PVT assembly is also connected to the refrigerator via a circulation pipeline, which in turn is connected to the air-antifreeze heat exchanger via a circulation pipeline. One side of the plate heat exchanger is connected to the refrigerator via a circulation pipeline, and the other side is connected to the energy storage tank or air conditioning terminal via a circulation pipeline. The energy storage tank is connected to the air conditioning terminal via a circulation pipeline.
[0009] Optionally, the PVT module includes a photovoltaic cell layer and a heat collection layer. The photovoltaic cell layer is made of monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon solar panels, and the heat collection layer includes flat heat pipes and multi-channel flat tubes.
[0010] Optionally, one side of the flat heat pipe is attached to the back plate of the PVT module as the evaporation section, and the other side is attached to the multi-channel flat tube as the condensation section.
[0011] Flat plate heat pipes are flat heat conductors with porous structures formed by extruding metal materials. They have multiple non-interconnected channels arranged side by side inside. Multi-channel flat tubes are flat pipes made of extruded metal. The two ends inside are converging channels, and between the converging channels are multiple square or rectangular branch channels arranged side by side. The internal fluid is water or antifreeze.
[0012] Optionally, the refrigerator is equipped with a multi-channel flat tube heat exchanger with a rectangular cross-section. Water or ethylene glycol solution flows inside the tube, and aluminum closed rectangular fins are installed on the outside. The energy storage medium is water.
[0013] Optionally, the air-antifreeze heat exchanger can be a finned tube structure.
[0014] Optionally, the plate heat exchanger adopts a corrugated plate structure.
[0015] Optionally, the energy storage tank has an open structure with a water inlet at the top.
[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a novel PVT-air source dual-source heat pump system, which has the following beneficial effects: 1) This utility model innovatively integrates the photovoltaic and photothermal utilization of solar energy, air source heat pump technology and phase change energy storage technology, realizing the efficient synergistic utilization of multiple energy sources. The PVT module efficiently collects solar thermal energy while generating electricity. The air-antifreeze heat exchanger provides the system with an appropriate heat source or cold source according to seasonal operating conditions. The refrigerator and the energy storage tank work together to complete the storage and regulation of system energy, greatly reducing energy waste and significantly improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system; 2) This utility model applies phase change energy storage technology, enabling the system to effectively cope with the problem of energy output fluctuation caused by changes in natural conditions. In severe winter weather, the refrigerator, as a stable low-temperature heat source, ensures that the heat pump evaporator maintains a high temperature and maintains the system's heating stability. In summer, the cold storage function ensures the continuity of the cooling system, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the system operation, ensuring the stability of the building's energy supply, and effectively reducing the adverse effects of unstable energy supply on the normal operation of the building; 3) This utility model uses renewable and clean energy such as solar energy and air energy as the main energy input, significantly reducing the dependence on traditional fossil energy, which is in line with the global green and low-carbon development trend, and is of great significance to promoting energy conservation, emission reduction and sustainable development in the building field, helping buildings achieve green star rating standards; 4) This utility model uses an electric three-way valve to intelligently switch and control the multi-channel circuit of the water source heat pump unit. The system can flexibly and efficiently adjust the operating mode according to different seasons, different environmental conditions and the actual load demand of the building. Whether it is the extreme low temperature in winter in cold regions, the high temperature in summer, or the diversified energy demand of different building types, it can show strong environmental adaptability and operating condition adjustment capability, and can be widely used in different climate regions. The energy supply scenarios for different types of buildings have broad market application prospects; 5) This utility model can effectively reduce peak electricity load to achieve "peak shaving". By making reasonable use of the price difference of electricity at different times, energy storage operation is carried out during the low electricity price period, and the stored energy is used to supply energy during the peak period, thereby greatly reducing the system operating cost, having significant economic benefits, and enhancing the system's competitiveness in the market; 6) This utility model ensures that the air source heating system does not frost: When the traditional air source heat pump system is heating, the evaporator is prone to frost when the ambient temperature is low. After frost, the heating efficiency decreases. When the frost layer reaches a certain thickness, not only does it need to stop heating, but it also needs to consume additional energy for defrosting. This is the biggest technical bottleneck of the traditional air source heat pump system; The air source heating system of this utility model, because the temperature of the air side must be higher than the freezing point temperature when the air-antifreeze heat exchanger absorbs air energy in order to melt the ice in the refrigerator for heat storage, the air-antifreeze heat exchanger never frosts, and is especially suitable for areas with high humidity.
