Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the cross-technical field of environmental protection, energy conservation and new energy application technologies, and in particular to an aeration heating device based on a PV / T photovoltaic thermal system. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment technology, water temperature has a significant impact on purification efficiency, especially in aeration tank units. Water temperature, as a key parameter, directly affects microbial activity, dissolved oxygen levels, and overall wastewater treatment efficiency. Different types of microorganisms have varying degrees of adaptability to water temperature; therefore, maintaining a suitable water temperature is crucial for ensuring optimal microbial activity and achieving stable and efficient wastewater treatment.
[0003] In cold northern regions or under extreme weather conditions, the problem of excessively low wastewater temperatures is particularly prominent. This not only reduces the metabolic efficiency of microorganisms and affects the biochemical processes of wastewater treatment, but may also lead to substandard treated water quality and secondary pollution of the environment. Therefore, taking effective measures to maintain the temperature of wastewater treatment water and mitigate the adverse effects of extreme weather has become a significant technical challenge for wastewater treatment plants.
[0004] Traditionally, wastewater treatment plants have used direct heating to maintain the water temperature in aeration tanks. However, this method is not only energy-intensive but also detrimental to achieving energy conservation and carbon reduction goals. With the rapid development of new energy technologies, combining them with existing wastewater treatment technologies to solve the water temperature problem in a more environmentally friendly and efficient way has become a current research hotspot.
[0005] In recent years, various technical solutions have been proposed to address water temperature issues in wastewater treatment processes. For example, CN209778434U discloses a heating system for aeration tank water. This system uses solar collectors and a gas-fired boiler as heat sources, heating the aeration tank water through a temperature regulator to ensure the normal physiological activities of aerobic microorganisms. Although this system achieves energy conservation and emission reduction to some extent, it still relies on traditional energy sources (such as natural gas) as auxiliary heat sources, failing to fully utilize renewable energy.
[0006] On the other hand, CN215765325U discloses a heating system combining a PVT heat pump and a water source heat pump. This system generates electricity through PVT panel modules and uses their surface heat for heating. It also integrates a water source heat pump unit and an auxiliary air source heat pump unit to achieve solar-powered combined heat and power and meet year-round heating and water supply needs. However, this system is mainly applied to building heating and hot water supply, and does not directly address water temperature control in wastewater treatment processes. Furthermore, its system structure is relatively complex and may not be suitable for all wastewater treatment scenarios.
[0007] Although the above-mentioned existing technical solutions have solved the problem of water temperature control in the wastewater treatment process to some extent, they still have the following defects and shortcomings:
[0008] Energy efficiency needs to be improved: Existing systems rely heavily on traditional energy sources as auxiliary heat sources and fail to make full use of renewable energy, resulting in low energy efficiency.
[0009] Complex system structure: Some systems have relatively complex structures, which increases the cost of operation and maintenance, and may not be suitable for all wastewater treatment scenarios.
[0010] Insufficient adaptability: Existing systems may lack adaptability to different climatic conditions, water quality conditions and treatment needs, and cannot provide customized solutions.
[0011] Therefore, this invention proposes an aeration heating device based on a PV / T photovoltaic thermal system, aiming to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology. This system integrates solar photovoltaic thermal (PV / T) technology with aeration heating technology, converting solar energy into heat and electricity through PV / T photovoltaic thermal modules, providing a stable heat source for the aeration heating system, while simultaneously enabling self-consumption of electricity or grid connection. This innovative technical solution not only effectively improves wastewater treatment efficiency but also significantly reduces energy consumption, exhibiting higher energy utilization efficiency and better adaptability, providing a new solution for energy conservation and emission reduction in the wastewater treatment field.

[0042] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0043] Example 1
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an aeration heating device based on a PV / T photovoltaic thermal system. The specific system composition and working process are as follows.
[0045] I. Device Composition:
[0046] The aeration heating device based on the PV / T photovoltaic thermal system in this embodiment mainly includes a PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, a first circulating water pump 2, a hot water storage tank 3, a first start / stop controller 4, a second circulating water pump 5, an aeration heating device 6 (including a heating coil 7 and an aeration blower 8), an aeration tank unit 9, a temperature feedback device 10, a second start / stop controller 11, a water-to-water heat exchanger 12, a user heating system 13, a domestic hot water system 15, and components such as a first shut-off valve 18, a second shut-off valve 19, and a third shut-off valve 20.
[0047] II. Workflow:
[0048] 1. Heat energy generation and storage:
[0049] On a clear day, the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 absorbs solar energy, converting it into electricity through photoelectric conversion, and converting it into heat energy through the heat exchange channels on its lower surface.
[0050] The first circulating water pump 2 is started under the control of the first start-stop controller 4; when the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 is higher than 5℃, the first start-stop controller 4 sends a signal to start the first circulating water pump 2.
[0051] The circulating water is pumped to the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 for heating by the first circulating water pump 2; the heated water is then sent to the hot water storage tank 3 for storage for later use.
[0052] The hot water storage tank 3 is equipped with a temperature sensor to monitor the water temperature in real time and transmit the temperature signal to the first start-stop controller 4. When the water temperature in the hot water storage tank 3 reaches the set value, the first start-stop controller 4 controls the first circulating water pump 2 to stop working to avoid energy waste caused by excessively high water temperature.
[0053] 2. Wastewater treatment heating:
[0054] When the wastewater temperature in aeration tank unit 9 is lower than the set value (such as lower than the optimal microbial activity temperature range), the temperature feedback device 10 detects this change and sends a signal to the second start / stop controller 11.
[0055] After receiving the signal, the second start-stop controller 11 starts the second circulating water pump 5; the second circulating water pump 5 transports the hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 to the heating coil 7 of the aeration heating device 6;
[0056] The hot water in the heating coil 7 heats the air passing through it; the heated air is then drawn in by the aeration blower 8 and sent into the aeration tank unit 9 by the action of the aeration blower 8.
[0057] The heated air comes into full contact with the sewage in aeration tank unit 9, increasing the sewage temperature and thus enhancing the activity of microorganisms and improving sewage treatment efficiency.
[0058] When the wastewater temperature in aeration tank unit 9 reaches the set value, the temperature feedback device 10 sends a signal to the second start-stop controller 11 again, and the second start-stop controller 11 controls the second circulating water pump 5 to stop working to avoid energy waste.
[0059] 3. User heating and domestic hot water:
[0060] The hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 can also provide heat energy to the user's heating system 13 through the water-to-water heat exchanger 12; the water-to-water heat exchanger 12 transfers the heat energy of the hot water storage tank 3 to the circulating water in the heating system, thereby realizing the heating function;
[0061] Users can adjust the temperature and heating time of the heating system according to their own needs; for example, in the cold winter, users can increase the temperature and heating time of the heating system to improve indoor temperature comfort.
[0062] In addition, the hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 can be directly connected to the domestic hot water system 15 through pipes to provide domestic hot water to users; users can open or close the third shut-off valve 20 of the domestic hot water system 15 according to their own needs to control the supply of hot water.
[0063] To ensure sufficient water level in the hot water storage tank 3, the system is also equipped with a water supply pipe connected to the municipal tap water supply; when the water level in the hot water storage tank 3 is lower than the set value, the tap water supply will automatically replenish the water.
[0064] 4. Intelligent control and safety protection:
[0065] The first start-stop controller 4 and the second start-stop controller 11 serve as intelligent control devices for the system, automatically controlling the start and stop of the circulating water pump according to system requirements to maximize energy utilization.
[0066] The hot water storage tank 3 is also equipped with an automatic air vent valve and a water tank pressure relief valve to ensure the safe operation of the system. When the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 3 is too high, the automatic air vent valve opens to release the pressure. When the water level is too high, the water tank pressure relief valve opens to release the excess water.
[0067] This embodiment uses PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 as the heat source, realizing combined heat and power and improving energy utilization efficiency. Intelligent control equipment enables automated system operation, reducing manual operation costs. Simultaneously, the system has comprehensive safety protection measures to ensure stable system operation and safe use by the user.
[0068] Example 2
[0069] In another preferred embodiment, based on the above embodiment 1, the aeration heating device based on the PV / T photovoltaic thermal system in this embodiment is an enhancement of embodiment 1, mainly by adding a control center and an auxiliary air source heat pump unit.
[0070] I. Device Composition:
[0071] The device mainly includes: PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, first circulating water pump 2, hot water storage tank 3, first start / stop controller 4, second circulating water pump 5, aeration heating device 6 (including heating coil 7 and aeration blower 8), aeration tank unit 9, temperature feedback device 10, second start / stop controller 11, water-to-water heat exchanger 12, user heating system 13, domestic hot water system 15, first shut-off valve 18, second shut-off valve 19, third shut-off valve 20, control center, and auxiliary air source heat pump unit, etc. The auxiliary air source heat pump unit is connected to the hot water storage tank 3 through pipelines.
[0072] II. Workflow:
[0073] 1. Heat energy generation and storage:
[0074] The process is similar to that in Example 1. The PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 absorbs solar energy for photoelectric conversion and thermal energy conversion. The first circulating water pump 2 is started under the control of the first start-stop controller 4 to transport circulating water to the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 for heating. Then the hot water is sent to the hot water storage tank 3 for storage.
[0075] The hot water storage tank 3 is equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors the water temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the first start / stop controller 4 and the control center. The control center adjusts the operating status of the first circulating water pump 2 based on the received signal and system requirements.
[0076] 2. Wastewater treatment heating:
[0077] When the temperature of the wastewater in the aeration tank unit 9 is lower than the set value, the temperature feedback device 10 sends a signal to the second start-stop controller 11, which then starts the second circulating water pump 5 to transport the hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 to the aeration heating device 6 for heating.
[0078] Heated air is sent into aeration tank unit 9 through aeration blower 8 to increase the temperature of wastewater and enhance the activity of microorganisms.
[0079] Unlike Example 1, when the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 is insufficient to meet the heating requirements of wastewater treatment, the control center will receive a relevant signal and start the auxiliary air source heat pump unit. The auxiliary air source heat pump unit uses the heat in the air to heat the hot water in the hot water storage tank 3, ensuring the continuity and stability of wastewater treatment heating.
[0080] 3. User heating and domestic hot water:
[0081] The hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 provides heat energy to the user's heating system 13 through the water-to-water heat exchanger 12, or is directly connected to the domestic hot water system 15 through pipes to provide domestic hot water to the user;
[0082] Users can adjust the temperature and heating time of the heating system, as well as the supply and temperature of domestic hot water, according to their own needs.
[0083] When the water level in the hot water storage tank 3 is lower than the set value, the system will automatically start the water replenishment pipeline to replenish water and ensure the normal operation of the system.
[0084] 4. Intelligent control and centralized management:
[0085] As the core of the system, the control center is electrically connected to various components in the system, such as the first circulating water pump 2, the second circulating water pump 5, the first start-stop controller 4 of the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, the temperature feedback device 10 and the second start-stop controller 11 in the aeration tank unit 9, and the auxiliary air source heat pump unit.
[0086] The control center centrally monitors and manages the working status of each component based on system requirements and received signals. For example, when a fault is detected in a component, the control center will send an alarm signal and take corresponding measures to repair or replace it.
[0087] The control center can also intelligently adjust the system's operating mode based on information such as weather forecasts and user habits to maximize energy utilization and provide the best user experience.
[0088] 5. Safety protection and fault handling:
[0089] The system is equipped with comprehensive safety protection measures, such as automatic air vents and water tank pressure relief valves, to ensure the safe operation of the system.
[0090] When a system malfunctions, the control center will immediately send an alarm signal and take corresponding measures to deal with it. For example, when a malfunction is detected in the first circulating water pump 2 or the second circulating water pump 5, the control center will start the backup circulating water pump to ensure the normal operation of the system. When a leak is detected in the hot water storage tank 3, the control center will immediately close the relevant valves and start the emergency water replenishment procedure.
[0091] This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, adds a control center and an auxiliary air-source heat pump unit, realizing centralized monitoring and management of the system and diversified heat energy supply. Centralized monitoring and management of all system components through the control center improves system stability and reliability; the addition of the auxiliary air-source heat pump unit further enhances the system's heating capacity, ensuring normal operation under different climatic conditions. Simultaneously, the system also possesses comprehensive safety protection measures and fault response mechanisms, ensuring safe use by users and long-term stable operation of the system.
[0092] Example 3
[0093] In another preferred embodiment, the aeration heating device based on the PV / T photovoltaic thermal system in this embodiment adds a domestic hot water load monitoring module and a remote monitoring module to the aeration heating device based on embodiment 2.
[0094] I. Device Composition:
[0095] The aeration heating device based on the PV / T photovoltaic thermal system in this embodiment is a further integration and optimization based on Embodiment 2. It mainly adds an intelligent temperature control system, a remote monitoring system, and a multi-mode operation strategy. The device mainly includes: a PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, a first circulating water pump 2, a hot water storage tank 3, a first start / stop controller 4, a second circulating water pump 5, an aeration heating device 6 (including a heating coil 7 and an aeration blower 8), an aeration tank unit 9, a temperature feedback device 10, a second start / stop controller 11, a water-to-water heat exchanger 12, a user heating system 13, a domestic hot water system 15, a first shut-off valve 18, a second shut-off valve 19, a third shut-off valve 20, a control center, an auxiliary air source heat pump unit, an intelligent temperature control system, and a remote monitoring module (including domestic hot water load monitoring function), etc.
[0096] II. Workflow:
[0097] 1. Heat energy generation and storage:
[0098] Similar to Example 2, the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 absorbs solar energy for photoelectric conversion and thermal energy conversion. The first circulating water pump 2 is started under the control of the first start-stop controller 4 to transport circulating water to the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1 for heating. Then the hot water is sent to the hot water storage tank 3 for storage.
[0099] The hot water storage tank 3 is equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors the water temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the first start-stop controller 4, the control center, and the intelligent temperature control system.
[0100] 2. Intelligent temperature control and multi-mode operation:
[0101] The intelligent temperature control system automatically adjusts the system's operating mode based on the water temperature of the hot water storage tank 3, weather forecast information, and the user's set temperature requirements. For example, during sunny days, the intelligent temperature control system may choose to prioritize the use of PV / T photovoltaic thermal modules 1 for heating; at night or on cloudy or rainy days, it may start the auxiliary air source heat pump unit for supplementary heating.
[0102] The domestic hot water load monitoring module (integrated into the remote monitoring module) monitors the flow and temperature of the domestic hot water system in real time, calculates the real-time hot water load, and transmits the data to the control center. The intelligent temperature control system dynamically adjusts the water supply temperature and flow from the hot water storage tank 3 to the domestic hot water system 15 based on the hot water load data to ensure that user needs are met.
[0103] The system supports multiple operating modes, such as manual mode, automatic mode, and energy-saving mode. Users can select the appropriate operating mode through the remote monitoring module 23 and adjust it according to actual needs.
[0104] 3. Wastewater treatment heating:
[0105] When the wastewater temperature in aeration tank unit 9 is lower than the set value, the temperature feedback device 10 sends a signal to the second start-stop controller 11, and the second start-stop controller 11 starts the second circulating water pump 5 to transport the hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 to the aeration heating device 6 for heating.
[0106] Heated air is sent into aeration tank unit 9 through aeration blower 8 to increase the temperature of wastewater and enhance the activity of microorganisms;
[0107] The intelligent temperature control system adjusts the working status of the aeration heating device 6 in real time according to the actual temperature changes in the aeration tank unit 9, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the sewage treatment process.
[0108] 4. Heating and domestic hot water for users:
[0109] The hot water in the hot water storage tank 3 provides heat energy to the user's heating system 13 through the water-to-water heat exchanger 12, or is directly connected to the domestic hot water system 15 through pipes to provide domestic hot water to the user;
[0110] The domestic hot water load monitoring module (integrated into the remote monitoring module) provides real-time feedback to the intelligent temperature control system based on the hot water usage at the user end. The system then adjusts the water supply strategy accordingly to achieve on-demand heating.
[0111] Users can view the heating and domestic hot water supply in real time through the remote monitoring module and adjust it according to their own needs.
[0112] 5. Remote monitoring and fault early warning:
[0113] The remote monitoring module is integrated into the control center and connects to the system in real time via the Internet or a dedicated network. This module not only monitors the domestic hot water load, but also receives real-time data from various components of the system, such as the temperature of aeration tank unit 9, the power generation efficiency of PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, and the operating status of the first circulating water pump 2 and the second circulating water pump 5.
[0114] Data is stored in a local database or uploaded to a cloud server, enabling remote access and management across geographical regions. Users can view system operating status, energy consumption, and fault alarm information anytime, anywhere via mobile apps, web interfaces, and other remote terminals.
[0115] When a system malfunctions or encounters an abnormal situation, the remote monitoring module will immediately send alarm information to the user's terminal device and notify maintenance personnel to handle the situation promptly.
[0116] 6. Safety protection and fault handling:
[0117] The system is equipped with comprehensive safety protection measures, such as automatic air vent valve, water tank pressure relief valve, overcurrent protection, and overtemperature protection, to ensure the safe operation of the system.

The above configuration also enables the recovery of heat energy generated by the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, which is then used to supply hot water or heating through a heat exchange system, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and forming a comprehensive energy system integrating power generation and heating.
[0121] In a preferred embodiment, the circulating heating system further includes a first start-stop controller 4, which is a temperature difference start-stop controller. The temperature difference start-stop controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensors in the PV / T photovoltaic thermal module 1, the first circulating water pump 2, and the hot water storage tank 3.
