Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centralized heating, and in particular to a solar-powered centralized heating system. Background Technology

[0002] The biggest advantage of using a high-level insulated water tank for water supply is that the heat transfer medium, the heat storage medium, and the hot water supplied to users are all a single substance—water. This avoids the excessive piping and equipment required to achieve heat exchange when the medium and water are different substances, making the system simpler. However, its disadvantages are as follows: First, the longer flow distance of the hot water in the pipes leads to scaling and corrosion in the system, and also greatly increases the amount of harmful impurities in the water. Second, water left in the solar collector as a heat transfer medium is prone to freezing damage to the solar collector under low temperature or low light conditions, requiring a simple method of venting. Third, considering that water is a heat storage medium, in order to increase its heat storage capacity, the water temperature needs to be increased during periods of sufficient sunlight to supply hot water when sunlight is insufficient. However, the hot water supplied to users should not exceed 50°C, which contradicts the need to increase the temperature of water as a heat storage medium. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a high-mounted self-flowing solar centralized water supply system, including: a water replenishment subsystem, a solar temperature regulation subsystem, and a hot water circulation subsystem;

[0004] The water replenishment subsystem includes a municipal pipeline, a flow stabilizer tank, a water softener, a water tank, a silicon phosphate crystal processor, a first water replenishment pipe, a second bypass pipe, and a second water replenishment pipe.

[0005] The municipal pipeline, the flow stabilizer, the water softener, and the water tank are connected in sequence by pipelines;

[0006] An electric valve is installed at the connection point between the municipal pipeline and the flow stabilizer tank.

[0007] A booster pump is installed at the connection pipe between the flow stabilizer tank and the water softener;

[0008] The water outlet end of the connecting pipe between the water softener and the water tank is equipped with a float valve.

[0009] The water tank is provided with a first bypass pipe, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the municipal pipeline, and the outlet of which is connected to the water tank.

[0010] The first bypass pipe is equipped with an electric valve, and the water outlet end of the first bypass pipe is equipped with the float valve;

[0011] The water tank is equipped with a level gauge, and the water tank is equipped with a laundry room variable frequency booster pump, a user variable frequency booster pump set, and a water replenishment pump.

[0012] The water tank outlet is connected to the laundry room variable frequency booster pump, the user variable frequency booster pump group, and the water supply pump via a parallel water pipe.

[0013] The water pump, the silicon phosphorus crystal processor, the first water supply pipe and the second water supply pipe are connected in sequence through pipes;

[0014] An electric valve is installed at the end of the first water supply pipe;

[0015] The inlet and outlet of the silicon phosphate crystal processor are connected to the second bypass pipe.

[0016] An electric valve is installed at the second bypass pipe;

[0017] The above equipment performs two-step water treatment:

[0018] Step 1: Use a water softener to treat municipal water, which can be used for laundry rooms in public buildings such as hotels or for daily water use by users, and provides corresponding variable frequency booster pipelines for water supply.

[0019] The second step, based on water softening, involves using a silicon phosphate crystal processor to further process the water, resulting in dissolved silicon phosphate crystals in the hot water. Its main components, polyphosphates and polysilicates, act as scale inhibitors and metal corrosion protectants in the water, extending equipment lifespan, reducing maintenance costs, and helping to maintain the stability and quality of the hot water supply.

[0020] In the application of the system, the above two water treatment steps can also be omitted, that is, the municipal pipeline water enters the water tank directly through the first bypass pipe; the water from the water replenishment pump enters the mixing tank directly through the second bypass pipe and the second water replenishment pipe, or enters the insulated water tank directly through the second bypass pipe and the second water replenishment pipe.

[0021] The solar temperature regulation subsystem includes a mixing tank, a solar collector, an elevated insulated water tank, a circulating pump set, and a direct connection pipe.

[0022] The high-level insulated water tank is equipped with a connecting pipe at its water inlet end;

[0023] The hot water circulation subsystem includes: a gravity-flow user hot water pipe network, a heating frequency conversion booster pump set, and a return water pipe;

[0024] The inlet of the gravity-flow user hot water pipe network is connected to the bottom of the mixing tank;

[0025] The gravity-flow user hot water pipe network, the heating frequency conversion booster pump set, and the return water pipe are connected sequentially along the water flow direction;

[0026] The mixing tank includes a first inlet pipe, a second inlet pipe, an electric heater, a temperature sensor, and the level gauge;

[0027] The electric heater, the level gauge, and the temperature sensor are respectively embedded in the mixing tank body;

[0028] The outlet end of the return water pipe and the first water supply pipe are connected to the inlet end of the first water inlet pipe, and the first water inlet pipe extends into the bottom of the mixing tank.

[0029] The solar collector, the connecting pipe, the high-level insulated water tank, the circulating pump set, and the direct connection pipe are connected in a closed loop in sequence.

[0030] The purpose of installing a mixing tank instead of directly supplying hot water using an insulated water tank:

[0031] First, the maximum temperature of the water in the elevated insulated water tank can be increased (e.g., to 80°C), which greatly increases the heat storage capacity and can be used to supply hot water during periods without sunlight. However, water above 50°C should not be supplied directly to users. Instead, room temperature water can be injected into the mixing tank through the first inlet pipe and high temperature water injected through the second inlet pipe to mix and achieve a suitable water temperature.

[0032] Secondly, when the water temperature in the insulated water tank is below 40°C, an electric heater can be used in the smaller mixing tank to heat the water more quickly. The smaller amount of water required for heating is also more energy-efficient.

[0033] The solar collector is sloped along the water flow direction, and the temperature sensor is installed at the water outlet end of the solar collector.

[0034] The level gauge and the temperature sensor are respectively embedded in the high-level insulated water tank.

[0035] The outlet of the second water supply pipe extends to the bottom of the high-level insulated water tank, and the electric valve is provided on the outer pipe of the second water supply pipe near the high-level insulated water tank.

[0036] The second water inlet pipe is connected to the front section of the straight connecting pipe at its inlet end. The outlet end of the second water inlet pipe extends to the bottom of the mixing tank. The middle and rear sections of the straight connecting pipe and the second water inlet pipe are respectively equipped with electric valves. The middle section of the straight connecting pipe slopes towards the second water inlet pipe.

[0037] The solar-powered water supply subsystem operates in two parts:

[0038] The first part involves heating the water in the insulated water tank during periods of ample sunlight. The heating cycle is initiated when the temperature difference monitored by the temperature sensor at the outlet of the solar collector and the temperature sensor in the insulated water tank meets the required threshold and the water temperature in the insulated water tank has not reached its upper limit. A solar heating circulation loop is formed by the insulated water tank, the circulation pump set, the direct connection pipe, the solar collector, and the connecting pipe. At this time, the electric valves in the middle and rear sections of the direct connection pipe open, and the circulation pump set starts, achieving the circulating heating of the water in the insulated water tank.

[0039] To prevent the water in the solar collector from freezing and damaging the pipes due to lack of sunlight and low temperatures, a water return scheme is implemented in the solar heating circulation loop when it stops operating. Specifically, the circulating water pump in the solar heating circulation loop is turned off, and the electric valves in the middle and rear sections of the direct connection pipe are opened. This allows the water stored in the direct connection pipe to flow back to the mixing tank through the second inlet pipe due to gravity. The water stored in the solar collector enters the insulated water tank through the connecting pipe due to gravity.

[0040] The second part involves the insulated water tank replenishing hot water to the mixing tank. The standard for initiating hot water replenishment to the mixing tank is when the temperature difference monitored by the temperature sensor in the insulated water tank and the temperature sensor in the mixing tank reaches a required level, and the water temperature in the mixing tank does not meet the standard.

[0041] When the solar heating circulation loop is activated, the electric valve of the second water inlet pipe opens to replenish hot water to the mixing tank.

[0042] During periods when the solar heating circulation loop is not operating, the insulated water tank, the circulation pump, the direct connection pipe, and the second inlet pipe constitute the hot water supply pipeline for the mixing tank. At this time, the circulation pump is activated, the electric valve on the second inlet pipe is opened, and the electric valve in the middle section of the direct connection pipe is closed, thereby replenishing the mixing tank with hot water.

[0043] When the water temperature in the mixing tank is below standard and the temperature difference between the water temperature in the insulated water tank and the water temperature in the mixing tank does not meet the requirements, the electric valve of the second water inlet pipe is closed, and the electric heater heats the mixing tank.

[0044] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: the hot water supplied has undergone softening and silicon phosphate crystal treatment in the early stage, which greatly delays the scaling and metal corrosion of the hot water supply network and the safety of users when using hot water. The system uses a mixing tank as a transition to supply water to users, which can increase the water temperature in the insulated water tank, thereby regulating the heat storage. The solar collector and its adjacent pipes are designed to prevent freezing, and can be automatically emptied in low temperature weather. Attached Figure Description
