[0001] UNDERFLOOR / WALL HEATING OR ROOF SNOW MELTING SYSTEM WITH HEAT TRANSFER FLUID
[0002] TECHNICAL AREA
[0003] The invention relates to an underfloor / wall heating system with the heat transfer fluid and / or a roof snow melting system used in heating systems, which heats up quickly by transferring heating water, and heat from the water pipe wall to the heat transfer fluid that can change the phase.
[0004] The invention relates to an underfloor / wall heating system and / or roof snow melting system specifically involving the heat transfer fluid containing solid phase changeable nanoparticles sized between 10 to 200 nanometers, such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiO3, CuO, TiO2, SiL, boron carbide, szaybelite, exhibiting catalytic properties of these particles, enabling rapid heat transfer through evaporation along with the heat extracted from the water pipe, and during condensation, gradually cooling down due to descending nano-sized solid particles impacting the walls of the opposing collector and intermediate heat transfer pipes.
[0005] THE KNOWN STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
[0006] A wide variety of heating systems are used in the living areas. One of the most commonly used heating systems in rooms today is the underfloor heating system. These systems are based on the basis of heating the environment of hot water passing through polyethylene oxygen barrier pipes.
[0007] Today, the principle of operation of heating systems hot water from the water heating boiler circulates through the polyethylene pipes of the underfloor / wall heating system through the main supply pipe. The water that cools down in the underfloor / wall heating system is supplied to the main pipe again, and then the temperature of the water in the main pipe drops a little. The water in the main pipe, which cools down by circulating through all the rooms, returns to the boiler and makes a cycle continuously. The water circulating in all the rooms heats the polyethylene pipes located under the floor.
[0008] In the current technique, phase-changing fluids used in heating systems have a heat conduction coefficient of 1100 W / mK. Therefore, they cannot react quickly in heating.
[0009] In the current technique, the requirement that the circulating water must pass through the entire underfloor / wall heating system increases the amount of water used. In addition, problems such as excessive use of energy for continuous heating of this water, large boiler or recirculation pump, and high friction losses of water occur.
[0010] As a result, the need for a new economical, convenient, heat transfer fluid underfloor / wall heating system and the lack of existing solutions for solving the above- mentioned problems existing in the current technique made it necessary to make a development in the relevant technical field.
[0011] PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The present invention relates to the heating system, used in heating systems, which involves rapid heating of the phase-changeable heat transfer fluid by transferring the heat of the heating water through the pipe wall, and pertains to underfloor / wall heating or roof snow system, developed to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages, bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.
[0013] The most important purpose of the invention is to include the heat transfer pipe with the heat transfer fluid that can change the phase. The phase-changing fluid transmits heat by turning from the liquid phase to the vapor phase. After conducting heat, it returns by condensing. Thanks to the solid particles between 10-200 nanometers such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiO3, CuO, TiO2, Si L, boron carbide, szaybelite, boron in the phase change heat transfer system, evaporation accelerates with the heat taken. In this way, heat transfer is carried out quickly. After the heat transfer, these solid particles do not clump and do not stick to each other during condensation. During condensation, the heat pipe cools down slowly thanks to nano-sized solid particles that hit its inner walls and descend. In this way, the capacity to keep the heat in is high. Thanks to these nanoparticles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. Sintering, grooving, or pocketing process is not required on the inner surfaces of heat pipes. Thus, it can work vertically and horizontally without shape restrictions.
[0014] Another important purpose of the invention is to save energy and cost by eliminating the need for water to pass through the underfloor / wall and / or all the pipes of the roof heating system.
[0015] Another purpose of the invention is that the fluid that can change phase as a result of our R&D studies has the heat transfer coefficient of 16098 W / mK. Therefore, the invention provides a fast heat transfer by reacting very quickly.
[0016] Another important purpose of the invention is to reduce pressure losses by passing the heating water only through the water pipes inside the heat exchangers.
[0017] Another important purpose of the invention is to provide savings in pumping costs in boiler and central heating systems by reducing pressure losses.
[0018] The structural and characteristic features of the invention and all its advantages will be understood more clearly thanks to the detailed description written by making references to the shapes given below and these shapes. Therefore, the evaluation should be made taking into account these shapes and detailed description.

[0035] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0036] In this detailed explanation, the preferred configurations of the underfloor / wall heating and / or roof snow melting system with heat transfer fluid are explained only for a better understanding of the subject and in such a way that they do not create any limiting effects.
[0037] Figure 1- 2 shows the underfloor heating / wall heating system with heat transfer fluid, which is the subject of the invention, and its details. In the invention, the underfloor heating system basically consists of the water pipe (10) through which the water passage is provided, the sub-collector (20) positioned outside this water pipe (10), the upper collector (30) positioned opposite this collector, the heat transfer pipes (40) lined up between these two collectors. The water pipe (10) is in the sub-collector (20) located on one side of the room to be heated, in such a way that there are two pipes inside each other. While the hot water passes only through the water pipe (10), it does not mix with the phase-changeable heat transfer fluid outside water pipe (10). The hot water passing through the water pipe (10) spreads to the intermediate heat transfer pipes (40) and from there to the upper collector (30) by the evaporation of the phase- changeable, non-aggregating fluid in the sub-collector (20). In this way, the underfloor heating system, which reacts very quickly and effectively, provides homogeneous and efficient heating of the environment. Hot water only enters the water pipe (10) from the water inlet (11) and exits from the water outlet (12) and only moves within this water pipe (10). In this way, heat transfer takes place without the need to pass water through the sub-collector (20), upper collector (30), and intermediate heat transfer pipes (40), and higher efficiency is obtained by using less water than the systems used in the state of the technique. In the invention, the phase-changeable heat transfer fluid contains solid particles ranging from 10 to 200 nanometers, such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiOs, CuO, TiCh, SiL, boron carbide, szaybelite, boron, among which these particles, by virtue of their catalytic effect, accelerate evaporation along with the heat extracted from the water pipe (10). In this way, heat transfer is carried out quickly. After the heat transfer, these solid particles do not clump (do not be aggregate) and do not stick to each other during condensation. During condensation, the upper collector (30) and the intermediate heat transfer pipes (40) cool slowly thanks to the nano-sized solid particles that crash into their inner walls. In this way, the capacity to keep the heat in is high. Thanks to these nanoparticles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. Sintering, grooving, or pocketing process is not required on the inner surfaces of heat pipes. Thus, it can work vertically and horizontally without any shape restrictions. In the invention, the heat transfer fluid, which can change phase, is filled from the filling place (50) to the underfloor heating system.
[0038] Intermediate heat transfer pipes (40) are connected to the sub-collector (20) and the upper collector (30). As shown in figure 6, the water pipe (10) is located inside the subcollector (20). As shown in figure 5, the heating water enters the water pipe (10) from the water inlet (11) and passes directly from the water outlet (12). The heating system top coating (70) is also laid on the underfloor heating system.
[0039] By placing the invention under or on the roof, the snow on the roof can also be melted. It is placed in accordance with the angle of the roof with the support and alignment elements (60) or in such a way that the desired angle is given to the roof.
[0040] Depending on the area to be heated, the water pipe (10) can be passed through the upper collector (30) and both collectors can be operated as a sub-collector (20). Different pipe and collector lengths can be used for underfloor heating of rooms in different geometric forms. Multiple underfloor heating system zones can be used for a room. The most important aspect of the water pipe (10) in the sub-collector (20) is that it provides less pressure loss than underfloor heating systems used in known situations due to the simplicity of its shape. In this way, the circulation pumps used in heating systems can be used with a smaller capacity, and the diameters of the pipes used in heating systems can be used smaller. Thus, the raw material expenses are greatly saved, and secondarily, there will be a decrease in pressure losses, since the heating water will only pass through the water pipe (10) in the sub-collector (20). Heating water can be heated by solid fuel, natural gas, electricity, renewable energy sources, and similar sources.
[0041] According to the EN442 standard, "The wall thickness of the material on the heating surface in contact with water should not be less than 1.11 mm." there is an expression. In the invention, a wall thickness of less than 1.11 mm is used since the sub-collector (20), upper collector (30), and intermediate heat transfer pipes (40) do not come into direct contact with water. In this way, less material usage and lower costs are obtained.
[0042] In a normal underfloor heating system, approximately 700 meters of water pipe must be used to heat an area of 100 square meters. This means that 150 liters of water are circulated in the heating system. If an underfloor heating system with heat transfer fluid is used to heat an area of 100 square meters, it will be sufficient to circulate only 12 liters of water in the system. In this way, the heating system will work to heat and pump much less water; it will provide fast, effective, economical, and highly comfortable heating.
[0043] In the invention, the heat transfer fluid that can alternatively change phase may contain the above-mentioned solid particles between 10-50 or 50-100 or 100-150 nanometers. With this new product, all heating water used in daily life, solid fuel, natural gas, electricity, and similar heaters will be used in recirculation pumps to be used with a decrease in the load that should be used with the length of the pump will be reduced. In this way, both the pump cost, the cost of electricity in the pump operation, and the energy consumption spent on heating in heating water, solid fuel, natural gas, electricity, and similar heating systems will decrease significantly. In the invention, steel pipes can be used as well as aluminum and plastic pipes.
[0044] The scope of protection of this application, as defined in the claims section, cannot be limited to the examples provided above for illustrative purposes, and the innovation presented in the invention can be conceived and / or applied by a person skilled in the art utilizing similar configurations and extending such configurations to other related technical fields for similar purposes. Therefore, it is obvious that such structures will lack the criterion of innovation and, in particular, overcome the known state of technique.
