Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building pile foundation and ground source heat pump technology, specifically to a high thermal conductivity and water permeable composite structure energy pile. Background Technology

[0002] Energy piles, a green technology utilizing shallow geothermal sources, involve embedding circulating pipelines within the pile foundation of a building. While meeting the bearing capacity requirements of conventional pile foundations, the pile itself acts as a carrier to achieve heat exchange with shallow geothermal energy. Compared to traditional drilled underground pipes, this increases the contact area between the heat exchanger and the soil, fully utilizing the high volumetric specific heat and thermal conductivity of concrete to improve heat exchange efficiency. It saves underground space and engineering costs, and its design concept aligns with the current development trend of energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection, demonstrating promising development prospects and significant potential for widespread adoption.

[0003] However, traditional energy piles have low thermal conductivity due to the low thermal conductivity of the concrete and cannot fully utilize the thermal convection of groundwater, making it difficult to further improve heat exchange efficiency. Energy piles made of highly thermally conductive permeable concrete greatly increase the contact area between the pile and groundwater, allowing for full utilization of groundwater thermal convection. However, the steel reinforcement in permeable concrete piles is prone to corrosion, making it difficult to meet the durability requirements of the pile foundation. Furthermore, permeable concrete is a typical porous material, and its structural characteristics determine its thermal conductivity under different environmental conditions: when there is no groundwater seepage, its internal pores are filled with air, and the thermal conductivity of air is significantly lower than that of solid materials. This directly results in weak overall thermal conductivity of permeable concrete in dry environments. Therefore, developing new permeable building pile foundations is an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose a high thermal conductivity and permeable composite structure energy pile to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: A high thermal conductivity and permeable composite structure energy pile includes a precast pile at the center, a tubular heat exchanger fixed around the precast pile, a high thermal conductivity concrete layer wrapped around the upper outer periphery of the precast pile, and a high thermal conductivity and permeable concrete layer wrapped around the lower outer periphery of the precast pile. The bottom of the high thermal conductivity concrete layer is sealed to the top of the high thermal conductivity and permeable concrete layer.

[0006] Preferably, the tubular heat exchanger is a double-helix heat exchanger.

[0007] Preferably, both the high thermal conductivity concrete layer and the high thermal conductivity permeable concrete layer are cylindrical structures with equal outer diameters.

[0008] Preferably, the precast pile is a prestressed concrete solid circular pile, and the ratio of the diameter of the precast pile to the diameter of the high thermal conductivity and water permeability combined structure energy pile is set to 1:2.

[0009] Preferably, the tubular heat exchanger is an HDPE spiral heat exchanger.

[0010] Preferably, the tubular heat exchanger is tied and fixed to the spiral heat exchanger.

[0011] Preferably, the precast pile at the center includes a columnar concrete layer and a reinforcing cage disposed within the columnar concrete layer.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention proposes a design scheme with a precast pile at the center and a high thermal conductivity wrapping layer around the pile, the high thermal conductivity wrapping layer consisting of two layers of different wrapping materials. The upper layer uses a high thermal conductivity concrete layer, effectively compensating for the insufficient thermal conductivity of permeable concrete under dry conditions in existing technologies, while also increasing structural strength and effectively improving the bearing capacity of the pile. The lower layer uses a high thermal conductivity permeable concrete layer to fully utilize the thermal convection effect of groundwater seepage. This layered design not only maximizes the utilization of groundwater thermal resources but also, through the complementary properties of the materials, completely solves the technical problem of unstable heat exchange efficiency of traditional single materials under changing water levels. In addition, the reinforcing cage is placed inside the precast pile, which is the main load-bearing component. The precast pile is located at the center of the high thermal conductivity permeable composite structure energy pile, and the tubular heat exchanger is located on the outer periphery of the precast pile. Compared with existing energy piles, the precast pile does not require drilling to introduce groundwater, thus avoiding the defect of easy corrosion of steel bars in traditional permeable concrete piles. The high thermal conductivity wrapping layer and the precast pile share the load, which not only ensures the bearing capacity of the pile foundation, but also ensures the structural durability of the pile body, reduces the later maintenance cost, and has good technical economy and environmental adaptability.

The following specific embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand this utility model, but do not limit this utility model in any way. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the drawings, not all of them.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly.

This layered design not only maximizes the utilization of groundwater thermal resources but also, through the complementary properties of the materials, completely solves the technical problem of unstable heat exchange efficiency of traditional single materials under varying water levels. In addition, the reinforcing cage is placed inside the precast pile, which is the main load-bearing component. The precast pile is located at the center of the high thermal conductivity permeable composite structure energy pile, and the tubular heat exchanger is located on the outer periphery of the precast pile. Compared with existing energy piles, the precast pile does not require drilling to introduce groundwater, thus avoiding the defect of easy corrosion of steel bars in traditional permeable concrete piles.
