DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, a latent heat utilization type cooling tank having both cooling and storage functions and applied to a heat generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a heat generating device including a latent heat cooling tank that combines cooling and storage functions according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view looking down from above at a rotating blade member that constitutes a latent heat cooling tank that combines cooling and storage functions according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a solar thermal panel presented as an example of a heat source portion that constitutes a latent heat cooling tank that combines cooling and storage functions according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0013] 1 to 3, the latent heat utilization cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions according to this embodiment is applied to the heat generating device 100, and includes a heat source tank casing 110, an injection nozzle 130, an air down blower 120, and an air discharge hole 116.

[0014] In addition, the latent heat cooling tank 105, which has both cooling and storage functions, may include an upper chamber 111, a rotating blade member 125, a slitting louver 115, a splash water receiver 113, a splash water recovery hole 114, and multiple internal diaphragms 112.

[0015] The heat generating device 100 according to this embodiment includes a heat source unit 140, a latent heat utilization type cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions, a heat source tank connecting pipe 150, a three-way valve 152, an injection nozzle connecting pipe 153, and a direct supply pipe 154.

[0016] Reference numeral 155 denotes a tank heat source connecting pipe that connects the lower part of the heat source tank casing 110 to the heat source part 140 and supplies the heat exchange medium in the lower part of the heat source tank casing 110 to the heat source part 140 .

[0017] The heat source unit 140 supplies hot air to the latent heat utilization cooling tank 105, which has both cooling and storage functions, and various heat sources such as a photovoltaic thermal panel (PVT), a geothermal heat pump, a refrigerator, a heat pump, and a general heat pump can be presented as examples.

[0018] The solar thermal panel presented as an example of the heat source unit 140 is one of the means of using renewable energy, and is a device that can be used for hot water supply and heating by using the hot air generated during the electricity production process of the solar thermal collection panel so that sunlight and solar heat can be used simultaneously.

[0019] When the heat source unit 140 is a geothermal heat pump, a refrigerator, a heat pump, a general heat pump, etc., the heat source unit 140 can be cooled and stored as cold or hot water, and then recycled. The heat source unit 140 can also be used for other industrial oil cooling, cooling of various heat-generating equipment, etc.

[0020] The solar thermal panel includes a panel casing 144 , a solar power generation panel 147 , a rear pipe 149 , an outdoor air introduction means 146 , a hot air flow pipe 145 , and a pipe opening and closing means 141 .

[0021] The panel casing 144 is formed with an empty interior, and is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a predetermined area. The empty interior of the panel casing 144 becomes a space through which air can flow.

[0022] Reference numeral 148 denotes an external heat insulating material disposed on the outside of the rear surface of the panel casing 144 .

[0023] The solar power generation panel 147 is disposed on the front surface of the panel casing 144 and generates electricity using sunlight.

[0024] The rear pipe 149 is disposed inside the panel casing 144 but on the rear side of the photovoltaic panel 147, and cools the photovoltaic panel 147 while allowing liquid cooling water to flow through it.

[0025] The rear piping 149 is arranged in a zigzag pattern inside the panel casing 144 .

[0026] One side end of the rear piping 149 is connected to a tank heat source connecting pipe 155, and the other side end of the rear piping 149 is connected to a heat source tank connecting pipe 150, so that the cooling water flowing through the tank heat source connecting pipe 155 passes through the rear piping 149 and is then discharged to the outside of the panel casing 144 through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150.

[0027] The outdoor air introduction means 146 introduces and circulates outdoor air into the interior of the panel casing 144 to cool the solar power generation panel 147 as it flows through the interior of the panel casing 144, and an example of such an air introduction means may be a blower.

[0028] The outdoor air introduction means 146 is provided so as to communicate with the portion of the four side surfaces of the panel casing 144 that corresponds to the bottom surface, and the outdoor air is introduced into the interior of the panel casing 144 through the portion of the four side surfaces of the panel casing 144 that corresponds to the bottom surface.

[0029] The outdoor air is introduced into the interior of the panel casing 144 by the outdoor air introduction means 146, and as it flows through the empty interior of the panel casing 144, the outdoor air cools the solar power generation panel 147, and the temperature of the outdoor air increases, changing into warm air.

[0030] The hot air flow pipe 145 is connected to the inside of the panel casing 144 and allows the hot air to flow.

[0031] The hot air flow pipe 145 is arranged to communicate with the portion of the panel casing 144 that corresponds to the upper surface of the four side surfaces, and the hot air is discharged to the outside of the panel casing 144 through the portion of the panel casing 144 that corresponds to the upper surface of the four side surfaces.

[0032] The pipe opening / closing means 141 is capable of opening and closing the space between the inside of the panel casing 144 and the hot air flow pipe 145 , and includes a hinge 142 and a damper 143 .

[0033] The hinge 142 is rotatably connected to the panel casing 144 at a portion where the panel casing 144 and the hot air flow pipe 145 are connected.

[0034] The damper 143 may be extended from the hinge 142 to cover the inlet of the hot air flow pipe 145 .

[0035] When the outdoor air introduction means 146 is operated and the hot air flows toward the hot air flow pipe 145, the hinge 142 rotates so that the damper 143 is lifted by the flow pressure of the hot air, and the inlet of the hot air flow pipe 145 is opened.

[0036] On the other hand, when the outdoor air introduction means 146 is not operated and the hot air does not flow toward the hot air flow pipe 145, the hinge 142 rotates so that the damper 143 descends under its own weight, and the inlet of the hot air flow pipe 145 closes.

[0037] The heat source tank casing 110 accommodates a heat exchange medium such as water inside, and is formed in a vertically long, hollow cylindrical shape.

[0038] Reference numeral 156 denotes a refill pipe connected to an external water source to refill the heat exchange medium into the heat source tank casing 110 , and reference numeral 157 denotes a refill pipe opening / closing valve for opening and closing the refill pipe 156 .

[0039] The injection nozzle 130 is positioned at the upper part of the interior of the heat source tank casing 110 and injects the heat exchange medium supplied from the heat source section 140 onto the water surface of the heat exchange medium contained in the heat source tank casing 110.

[0040] The injection nozzle 130 is formed in a tubular shape that crosses the upper part of the heat source tank casing 110, and a plurality of nozzle bodies 131 facing the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 are formed at the lower end of the injection nozzle 130, so that the heat exchange medium flowing along the injection nozzle 130 can be injected into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 through each nozzle body 131.

[0041] The air downward blower 120 is in communication with the upper part of the heat source tank casing 110 and can supply air that cools the heat exchange medium sprayed through the spray nozzle 130 while descending downward from the upper part of the heat source tank casing 110 .

[0042] The air downward blower 120 is installed vertically on the top of the heat source tank casing 110 and can suck in air outside the heat source tank casing 110 and cause the air to descend from the top of the heat source tank casing 110 to below the heat source tank casing 110.

[0043] The air down blower 120 may be a fixed pressure blower.

[0044] The air discharge hole 116 connects the inside and outside of the heat source tank casing 110 and discharges the air that has been blown down along the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 by the air down blower 120 to the outside of the heat source tank casing 110 .

[0045] A plurality of air discharge holes 116 may be formed above the water surface of the heat exchange medium contained inside the heat source tank casing 110 .

[0046] As described above, in the process in which air is supplied downward from the top to the bottom of the heat source tank casing 110 by the air down blower 120 and then discharged to the outside through the air discharge hole 116, the air descending by the air down blower 120 can cool the heat exchange medium sprayed from the top to the bottom of the heat source tank casing 110 through the spray nozzle 130, thereby lowering the temperature of the heat exchange medium contained inside the heat source tank casing 110. In addition, since the air down blower 120 is configured to cause the air to descend, the heat exchange medium sprayed through the spray nozzle 130 is guided in a downward direction by the air, thereby minimizing the generation of splashing water.

[0047] The upper chamber 111 is disposed on the upper part of the heat source tank casing 110 so that the heat source tank casing 110 and the air down blower 120 are connected to each other.

[0048] An upper chamber 111 is formed on the top of the heat source tank casing 110, and an air down blower 120 is set up vertically inverted on top of the upper chamber 111, so that air flowing downward from the air down blower 120 passes through the upper chamber 111 and then flows downward into the heat source tank casing 110.

[0049] The upper chamber 111 is formed in an inclined shape so as to gradually expand from the air down blower 120 toward the upper side of the heat source tank casing 110, so that the air descending by the air down blower 120 can descend while expanding so as to reach the entire injection nozzle 130.

[0050] The pivoting blade member 125 is disposed below the air down blower 120 and / or in the upper chamber 111, so as to spread the air descending by the air down blower 120 throughout the upper chamber 111 and to form a turbulent flow in the air descending by the air down blower 120.

[0051] Specifically, the pivoting blade member 125 includes a circular ring-shaped blade body 126 connected to at least one of the lower portion and the upper chamber 111 of the air down-flow blower 120, and a pivoting blade 128 that rotates around a rotation axis 127 in the center of the blade body 126.

[0052] The rotating blade 128 is formed in a curved shape so that it gradually becomes lower from the front side to the rear side based on the rotation direction of the rotating blade 128, so that the air descending by the air down blower 120 can spread more smoothly throughout the upper chamber 111 and the air descending by the air down blower 120 can form a turbulent flow more effectively.

[0053] The pivoting blades 128 can be rotated by the force of the air flow downwardly directed by the air down blower 120 .

[0054] The air descending by the air down blower 120 using the rotating blade member 125 can be expanded as it descends so as to reach the entire injection nozzle 130, and turbulence caused by a rotating flow is formed in the air descending by the air down blower 120 by the rotating blade member 125, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0055] The slit louver 115 is formed by cutting a part of the heat source tank casing 110 and bending it outwardly in an inclined manner, so that the air discharge hole 116 is formed.

[0056] The slit louver 115 has a downward slitting structure that gradually becomes downward toward the outside of the heat source tank casing 110 as it moves downward, thereby preventing foreign matter such as rainwater from entering the heat source tank casing 110 from the outside while forming an air discharge hole 116 in the heat source tank casing 110.

[0057] The splash water receiver 113 is for collecting condensed water of the heat exchange medium that is splashed in the process of air being discharged through the air discharge holes 116 and that is connected to the slit louvers 115 and falls thereon.

[0058] The splash water receiver 113 is formed in the space below the air discharge hole 116 on the outer surface of the heat source tank casing 110, and the condensed water of the heat exchange medium that is splashed in the process of air being discharged through the air discharge hole 116 and connected to the slit louvers 115 falls and is collected therein.

[0059] The splash water recovery hole 114 connects the upper part of the splash water receiver 113 to the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 so that condensed water of the heat exchange medium that has collected in the splash water receiver 113 can be recovered inside the heat source tank casing 110.

[0060] A portion of the heat source tank casing 110 corresponding to the upper end of the splash water receiver 113 is penetrated to form a splash water recovery hole 114 .

[0061] When there is no demand or very little demand for hot water or heating at the consumer's location using the hot air generated by a typical solar thermal panel, the water temperature inside the storage tank that contains such hot air rises above a certain level, causing the storage tank to lose its cooling function, making it difficult to use the solar thermal panel normally.

[0062] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, by applying the latent heat utilization cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions, even when there is no demand or only a very small demand for hot water or heating at the demand destination using the hot air generated by the solar thermal panel, which is presented as an example of the heat source unit 140, the heat exchange medium inside the latent heat utilization cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions can be continuously cooled by the evaporation effect caused by the spraying of the heat exchange medium, so that the latent heat utilization cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions can provide a continuous cooling function, and can be used continuously all year round regardless of the season.

[0063] The internal diaphragms 112 of each tank protrude horizontally in a zigzag pattern into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 so that the heat exchange medium supplied to the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 via the external heat source supply pipe 163 can mix with the heat exchange medium contained inside the heat source tank casing 110 while exchanging heat with the external heat source 10 containing waste heat such as river water, lake water, seawater, and factory flue gas.

[0064] The heat generating device 100 includes an external heat source transfer pipe 160 extending from the lower part of the heat source tank casing 110 to flow the heat exchange medium at the lower part of the heat source tank casing 110 to the outside of the heat source tank casing 110, an external heat source transfer pump 161 formed on the external heat source transfer pipe 160 to form a flow of the heat exchange medium in the external heat source transfer pipe 160, an external heat source heat exchange means 162 such as a heat exchanger in which the heat exchange medium flowing through the external heat source transfer pipe 160 is heat exchanged with the external heat source 10, and an external heat source supply pipe 163 that flows the heat exchange medium heat exchanged in the external heat source heat exchange means 162 back into the upper side of the highest one of the internal diaphragms 112 of each tank in the heat source tank casing 110.

[0065] When configured as described above, the external heat source transfer pump 161 is operated so that the heat exchange medium in the lower part of the heat source tank casing 110 flows through the external heat source transfer pipe 160, is heat exchanged in the external heat source heat exchange means 162, and then can flow again through the external heat source supply pipe 163 into the upper side of the highest one of the internal partitions 112 of each tank in the heat source tank casing 110. The heat exchange medium that has flowed again into the upper side of the highest one of the internal partitions 112 of each tank in the heat source tank casing 110 is supplied to the internal As the hot air flows in a zigzag pattern inside the heat source tank casing 110 via the diaphragm 112, it can smoothly mix with the heat exchange medium inside the heat source tank casing 110. As a result, the hot air from the external heat source 10, such as waste heat, can be used to raise or lower the temperature of the heat exchange medium inside the heat source tank casing 110, and not only does it make the temperature inside the heat source tank casing 110 uniform, but it also makes it possible to more efficiently perform a sustained cooling function in the latent heat utilization cooling tank 105, which combines cooling and storage functions.

[0066] The heat source tank connecting pipe 150 supplies a heat exchange medium from the heat source unit 140 to the latent heat utilization type cooling tank 105 that has both a cooling function and a storage function.

[0067] A pump tank connecting pump 151 is installed on the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 , and a flow of the heat exchange medium is formed in the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 by the operation of the pump tank connecting pump 151 .

[0068] The three-way valve 152 is connected to the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 outside the heat source tank casing 110 .

[0069] The injection nozzle connecting pipe 153 connects the three-way valve 152 and the injection nozzle 130 .

[0070] The direct supply pipe 154 directly supplies the heat exchange medium flowing through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 to the heat exchange medium accommodated inside the three-way valve 152 and the heat source tank casing 110 , bypassing the injection nozzle 130 .

[0071] The direct supply pipe 154 may be formed so as to extend below the water surface of the heat exchange medium inside the heat source tank casing 110 .

[0072] That is, the three-way valve 152 is connected in three directions to the heat source tank connecting pipe 150, the injection nozzle connecting pipe 153, and the direct supply pipe 154, and by controlling the three-way valve 152, the heat exchange medium supplied from the heat source unit 140 through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 is supplied to the injection nozzle 130 through the injection nozzle connecting pipe 153 and can descend while being sprayed into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 through the injection nozzle 130, and the heat exchange medium supplied from the heat source unit 140 through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 can be directly supplied to the heat exchange medium contained inside the heat source tank casing 110 through the direct supply pipe 154 without being sprayed through the injection nozzle 130.

[0073] Meanwhile, the heat generating device 100 includes an outside air temperature sensor 170 that detects the temperature of the outside air (external air) of the heat source tank casing 110, and an inlet water temperature sensor 171 that detects the temperature of the heat exchange medium drawn into the heat source tank casing 110 via the heat source tank connecting pipe 150.

[0074] The inlet water temperature sensor 171 can detect the temperature of the heat exchange medium flowing through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150 at the front end of the three-way valve 152 (the part before flowing into the three-way valve 152) of the heat source tank connecting pipe 150.

[0075] When the temperature of the outside air of the heat source tank casing 110 detected by the outside air temperature detection sensor 170 is higher than the temperature of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat source tank casing 110 detected by the inlet water temperature detection sensor 171, the air down blower 120 is operated to flow the outside air of the heat source tank casing 110 into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110, thereby allowing the hot air of the outside air of the heat source tank casing 110 to function as an additional heat source for heating the heat exchange medium drawn into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150.

[0076] When the temperature of the outside air of the heat source tank casing 110 detected by the outside air temperature detection sensor 170 is lower than the temperature of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat source tank casing 110 detected by the inlet water temperature detection sensor 171, the air down blower 120 is operated to flow the outside air of the heat source tank casing 110 into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110, thereby allowing the hot air of the outside air of the heat source tank casing 110 to function as an additional heat source for cooling the heat exchange medium drawn into the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150.

[0077] Hereinafter, the operation of the heat generating device 100 including the latent heat utilization type cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0078] The heat exchange medium that has been heated while passing through the heat source section 140 passes sequentially through the heat source tank connecting pipe 150, the three-way valve 152 and the injection nozzle connecting pipe 153, and is then sprayed through the injection nozzle 130. The heat exchange medium is cooled by air that descends along the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 by the air descending blower 120, and is stored in the lower part of the heat source tank casing 110. The heat exchange medium can then be circulated by being supplied to the heat source section 140 side through the tank heat source connecting pipe 155.

[0079] As described above, since the latent heat utilization type cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions includes the heat source tank casing 110, the injection nozzle 130, the air downward blower 120, and the air discharge hole 116, the heat exchange medium supplied to be contained in the heat source tank casing 110 can be cooled by the downward flow of air. Therefore, active temperature control of the heat exchange medium contained in the heat source tank casing 110 can be easily performed. Even if there is no demand for hot water supply or heating at the demand destination using the hot air generated by the solar thermal panel presented as an example of the heat source unit 140 or the demand is very small, the heat exchange medium inside the latent heat utilization type cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions can be continuously cooled by the evaporation effect caused by the injection of the heat exchange medium. As a result, the latent heat utilization type cooling tank 105 having both cooling and storage functions can exhibit a continuous cooling function, and can be used continuously throughout the year regardless of the season.

[0080] Hereinafter, a latent heat utilization type cooling tank having both cooling and storage functions and applied to a heat generating device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In providing such a description, any description that overlaps with the contents already described in the above embodiment of the present invention will be omitted.

[0081] FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a slit louver constituting a latent heat utilization type cooling tank having both cooling and storage functions according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 4, the latent heat utilization type cooling tank having both cooling and storage functions according to the present embodiment further includes a falling guide foreign object blocking body 281 and an exhaust guide hole 285.

[0083] The fall-inducing foreign object blocking body 281 extends downward a predetermined length from the eccentric portion of the lower end of the slit louver 215 toward the air discharge hole 216, and causes the condensed water of the heat exchange medium connected to the slit louver 215 to fall downward, while blocking external foreign objects such as dust from entering the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 through the air discharge hole 216.

[0084] The exhaust guide hole 285 penetrates the slit louver 215 so as to connect the front space of the fall guide foreign object blocking body 281 to the upper space of the slit louver 215, and exhausts the outside air blocked by the fall guide foreign object blocking body 281 to the upper space side of the slit louver 215.

[0085] In the exhaust guide hole 285, an inner surface 286 on the air discharge hole 216 side and an outer surface 281 of the fall guiding foreign object blocking body 281 (the surface of the fall guiding foreign object blocking body 281 that is relatively far from the air discharge hole 216) are smoothly connected to each other without any steps and are formed into a curved shape of a predetermined curvature so as to be concave toward the air discharge hole 216 side, so that a part of the outside air blocked by the fall guiding foreign object blocking body 281 is guided and moves from the exhaust guide hole 285 along the inner surface 286 on the air discharge hole 216 side and is discharged in an outward direction away from the slit louver 215 in the upper space of the slit louver 215, and the rest of the outside air blocked by the fall guiding foreign object blocking body 281 is guided and moves along the outer surface 281 of the fall guiding foreign object blocking body 281 and is discharged in an outward direction away from the air discharge hole 216, so that the outside air blocked by the fall guiding foreign object blocking body 281 is discharged in a direction further away from the air discharge hole 216.

[0086] In addition, the inner surface 282 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281 (the surface of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281 facing the air discharge hole 216) is formed into a curved shape of a predetermined curvature so as to be concave toward the outer surface 281 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281, so that the condensed water of the heat exchange medium connected to the slit louver 215 moves while being guided along the inner surface 282 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281 and falls in the direction toward the air discharge hole 216, thereby preventing any loss of the condensed water of the heat exchange medium connected to the slit louver 215.

[0087] In addition, the bottom surface 283 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281 is formed in the form of an inclined surface that gradually becomes lower from the inner surface 282 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281 toward the outer surface 281 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281, so that the air that descends along the inside of the heat source tank casing 110 and is discharged through the air discharge hole 216 can be guided along the bottom surface 283 of the fall-guiding foreign object blocking body 281 and smoothly discharged into the outer space of the slit louver 215.
