Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a heat circulation technology for a complex vertical aquaponics farm, and more specifically, to a complex vertical aquaponics heat circulation device capable of arranging a vertical farm, a fish farm, and a greenhouse in a parallel structure and increasing the heating and cooling efficiency required in each location through heat circulation. Background Technology

[0003] Aquaponics is a portmanteau of "aquaculture" and "hydroponics," referring to a symbiotic system that cultivates plants using fish waste. It is a virtuous cycle production method in which microorganisms (bacteria) convert fish excrement, primarily composed of the toxic substance ammonia (NH3), into nitrate (NO3), a nutrient for plants; the plants then consume this nitrate, which is harmful to the fish, and return the purified water to the fish.

[0004] Unlike conventional plant cultivation methods, aquaponics does not discard used water but provides it to fish and plants in a cyclical manner, which enables the conservation of agricultural water. Furthermore, since the initial water can be continuously utilized by adding only the amount of water that naturally evaporates, it can save more than 90% of water usage compared to conventional cultivation methods.

[0005] Meanwhile, vertical farms are an indoor farming method that grows crops in multi-tiered indoor structures. Because they enable mass production within the same area, they can solve the problem of agricultural land shortages and are gaining attention as a next-generation plant production system that improves crop yield and quality through advanced environmental control in automated systems.

[0006] Accordingly, technologies related to indoor hydroponic fish farms that combine aquaponics with vertical farming, and hybrid aquaponics farming methods that combine vertical farming with greenhouses, are being developed.

[0007] However, vertical farms require cooling to cool the heat generated from a large amount of artificial light sources in order to maintain an indoor temperature of about 20°C suitable for crop cultivation, and fish farms require heating to maintain a water temperature of 24–28°C for raising high-profit tropical fish species such as eels, resulting in a heavy burden of heating costs. Greenhouses require maintaining an appropriate temperature for stable cultivation during the winter and summer seasons, but there is a problem that development is not easy due to excessive energy costs.

[0039] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a composite vertical aquaponics thermal circulation system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 1, the complex vertical aquaponics heat circulation system (100) may include a vertical farm (110), a fish farm (130), a greenhouse (150), and a heat circulation device (170).

[0041] The vertical farm (110) may include plant cultivation facilities. Here, the vertical farm (110) may include cooling facilities such as air conditioners or unit coolers to cool the heat generated from a large number of plant cultivation lamps. The vertical farm (110) is an indoor farming method in which crops are grown in a multi-tiered indoor structure, and is a next-generation plant production system that improves the yield and quality of crops through high-level environmental control in an automated system. The vertical farm (110) enables the cultivation of many crops in a small amount of land and allows for continuous cultivation throughout the 365 days of the year without seasonal specificity.

[0042] The fish farm (130) is positioned in the center between the vertical farm (110) and the greenhouse (150) and may include fish farming facilities. Here, the fish farm (130) may use the waste heat from the vertical farm (110) as heating for fish farming through a heat circulation device (170).

[0043] The greenhouse (150) can use the waste heat from the vertical farm (110) for heating through the heat circulation device (170).

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, the vertical farm (110), fish farm (130), and greenhouse (150) may have a parallel arrangement structure in order, but are not necessarily limited thereto and may have various combined structures such as parallel arrangement of the fish farm (130), vertical farm (110), and greenhouse (150). Here, the vertical farm (110), fish farm (130), and greenhouse (150) may be implemented as an aquaponics system in which water used for fish farming in the fish farm (130) is reused for plant cultivation in the vertical farm (110) and greenhouse (150), and water used in the vertical farm (110) and greenhouse (150) is reused for fish farming in the fish farm (130).

[0045] The heat circulation device (170) can regulate the temperature of the air supplied to the vertical farm (110), fish farm (130), and greenhouse (150) by installing pipes for air circulation between the vertical farm (110), fish farm (130), and greenhouse (150) and exchanging heat through the mixing of air in the pipes. In one embodiment, the heat circulation device (170) can bury a supply pipe underground in the greenhouse (150) so that the temperature of the outside air is regulated as it passes through the pipe. Additionally, the heat circulation device (170) can supply the outside air, whose temperature has been regulated as it passes through the pipe, to a temperature similar to the indoor temperature. Here, the heat circulation device (170) can increase the heat exchange efficiency by supplying outside air through the underground pipe.

[0047] FIG. 2 is a plan view for explaining the heat circulation device in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the heat circulation device in FIG. 1.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the heat circulation device (170) may include an exhaust pipe (210), an outside air supply pipe (230), a heat exchange ventilation device (250), a supply air pipe (270), and a blower pipe (290).

[0049] An exhaust pipe (210) is installed at the top of a vertical farm (110) located on one side and can transport air at a first temperature to a fish farm (130) and a greenhouse (150) located adjacent to it. Here, the exhaust pipe (210) is installed to extend from the top of the vertical farm (110) to a heat exchange ventilation device (250) located in the fish farm (130) and can transport air at the first temperature to the heat exchange ventilation device (250). An artificial light source for plant cultivation is installed in the vertical farm (110), and cooling is required to cool the heat generated from the artificial light source. Accordingly, an air conditioner or unit cooler is operated as a cooling facility in the vertical farm (110) to maintain the indoor temperature at 20~22℃, but the temperature at the top is higher than this. In one embodiment, a vertical farm (110) may be equipped with a plurality of air conditioners, and at least one of the outdoor units connected to the plurality of air conditioners may be installed in a fish farm (130) and at least one other may be installed in a greenhouse (150) so that the hot air discharged from the outdoor unit can be used for heating the fish farm (130) and the greenhouse (150). Here, the heat circulation device (170) may collect hot air of 38 to 40°C discharged from the outdoor unit by installing a heat collection room (310, 320) in front of at least one outdoor unit placed in the fish farm (130) and the greenhouse (150), respectively. The heat collection room (310, 320) may be provided with an electric damper to control whether the hot air is discharged.

[0050] The exhaust pipe (210) can transport air at a first temperature at the top, which is higher than the indoor temperature of the vertical farm (110), to the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150). To this end, the exhaust pipe (210) may be equipped with a driving means (not shown) that provides power to transport air at the first temperature at the top of the vertical farm (110) along the pipe. The driving means (not shown) may be installed at the vertical upper end of the exhaust pipe (210) and may be composed of a pump or the like that generates the transport of air, and according to its operation, the upper air at the top of the vertical farm (110) may flow into the exhaust pipe (210) and be transported to the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150). In one embodiment, the exhaust pipe (210) may include a first electric damper (211) for controlling the transport of air at the first temperature to the fish farm (130). Here, the first electric damper (211) is positioned at the entrance of the fish farm (130) and is controlled to open and close based on the temperature of the air at the first temperature, thereby controlling whether the air at the first temperature is transferred to the fish farm (130). The first electric damper (211) can be closed to discharge the air at the first temperature to the outside when the air at the first temperature is above a first specific standard. The first electric damper (211) is the fish farm (130) of the hot air collected in the heat collection room (310). my It is possible to control whether or not to emit.

[0051] The outside air supply pipe (230) is buried underground in the greenhouse (150) and can transport air of a second temperature to the surface. Here, the air of the second temperature may correspond to air that is lower in temperature than the air of the first temperature. The outside air supply pipe (230) can transport air of the second temperature in a labyrinth structure from below the floor of the greenhouse (150) to the heat exchange ventilation device (250). In one embodiment, the outside air supply pipe (230) may be buried underground or buried below the floor of the greenhouse (15) located at the very bottom, and outside air may be adjusted to air of the second temperature as it passes through the pipe. For example, the outside air supply pipe (230) can adjust the passing air to be about 3 to 7°C higher than the incoming outside air. The adjustable temperature range may vary depending on the length and diameter of the pipe, and the adjustment effect may be greater the higher or lower the outside temperature. Here, the outside air supply pipe (230) may be made of a double-walled pipe made of PP (Polypropylene) material, and the longer the length and larger the diameter, the longer the air stays underground, and the higher the temperature control efficiency.

[0052] The heat exchange ventilation device (250) is placed in a fish farm (130) or a greenhouse (150) and can receive air of a first temperature and air of a second temperature to generate air of a third temperature. Here, the air of the third temperature may correspond to air of a temperature required for fish farming in the fish farm (130). For example, when raising tropical fish in the fish farm (130), the air of the third temperature can be generated as high-temperature air for tropical fish farming that can maintain the indoor temperature at around 26~27℃ even during the winter season. In one embodiment, the heat exchange ventilation device (250) may be implemented as a rotary type drive method in which the heat exchange element rotates to cross the indoor and outdoor air so that they do not mix, thereby exchanging heat for air inflow and outflow, but is not necessarily limited thereto. The heat exchange ventilation device (250) can supply outside air that has passed through the outside air supply pipe (230) by adjusting it to a temperature similar to the indoor temperature. At this time, the heat exchange ventilation device (250) can heat or cool the cold or hot air of the outdoor air to the heat or cold air of the indoor air to make it similar to the indoor temperature and supply it to the indoor air.

[0053] In one embodiment, the heat exchange ventilation device (250) is connected to an exhaust pipe (210), an outside air supply pipe (230), and a supply air pipe (270). It receives air of a first temperature at the top of the vertical farm (110) transported through the exhaust pipe (210) and air of a second temperature at the outside air transported through the outside air supply pipe (230), performs heat exchange to generate air of a third temperature, and then transports the air of the third temperature through the supply air pipe (270). To enhance the effect of lowering the temperature of the vertical farm (110), the heat exchange ventilation device (250) may install an indoor supply air pipe on the ground surface of the greenhouse (150) to make the air supplied to the vertical farm (110) similar to the ground surface temperature of the greenhouse (150). The heat exchange ventilation device (250) may include a HEPA filter (251) as an air filter to remove dust, etc. from the air. The heat exchange ventilation device (250) can remove contaminants from the air entering during the heat circulation process between the vertical farm (110), fish farm (130), and greenhouse (150) through a HEPA filter (251) and then discharge it.

[0054] The air supply pipe (270) can transport air of a third temperature to the vertical farm (110) via the fish farm (130). The air supply pipe (270) can transport air of a third temperature from the heat exchange ventilation device (250) to the top of the farm (110). In one embodiment, one side of the air supply pipe (270) is installed along the ground surface of the greenhouse (150) from the heat exchange ventilation device (250), and the other side is installed in the vertical farm (110) via the fish farm (130) to transport air of a third temperature to the vertical farm (110). Here, the air of a third temperature can be supplied to the vertical farm (110) and adjusted to be similar to the ground surface temperature of the greenhouse (150) during the process of being transported through the air supply pipe (270), and the temperature of the vertical farm (110) can be lowered.

[0055] A blower pipe (290) is installed through from a vertical farm (110) to a greenhouse (150) to transport air of a first temperature to the greenhouse (150). In one embodiment, the blower pipe (290) may include second and third motorized dampers (291, 293) for controlling the transport of air of the first temperature to the fish farm (130) or the greenhouse (150). Here, the second motorized damper (291) is positioned above the fish farm (130) and path-controlled based on the temperature of the fish farm (130) so that if the temperature of the fish farm (130) is above a second specific standard, air of the first temperature can be discharged to the outside of the fish farm (130). Here, the third electric damper (293) is positioned at the top of the greenhouse (150) and path controlled based on the temperature of the greenhouse (150) so that if the temperature of the greenhouse (150) is above a third specific standard, air at a first temperature can be discharged to the outside of the greenhouse (150).

[0056] The second and third electric dampers (291, 293) can control the temperature inside the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150) by discharging air at the first temperature to the outside so that the temperature inside the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150) does not rise further when the temperature inside the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150) is above the second and third specific standards, respectively, and by discharging air at the first temperature to the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150) so that the temperature inside the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150) does not fall further when the temperature inside the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150) falls below the second and third specific standards.

[0057] An exhaust inline fan (295) is installed in the blower pipe (290) to continuously discharge air at a first temperature into the fish farm (130) or greenhouse (150) so that it can be used to control the temperature of the fish farm (130) or greenhouse (150).

[0059] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the heat circulation process performed in the heat circulation device of Figure 2.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 4, the heat circulation device (170) through the exhaust pipe (210) perpendicular Air at a first temperature inside the farm (110) can be transferred to a heat exchange ventilation device (250) for use in temperature control of the fish farm (130) and greenhouse (150). Here, the exhaust pipe (210) is installed above the vertical farm (110), and a first electric damper (211) is placed on the pipe at the entrance of the fish farm (130) to control the transfer of air at the first temperature. The first electric damper (211) detects the temperature of the air at the first temperature being transferred along the exhaust pipe (210), and if the detected temperature is above a first specific standard, the pipe is opened so that the air at the first temperature is transferred to the heat exchange ventilation device (250), and if the detected temperature is not above the first specific standard, the air at the first temperature can be discharged to the outside of the fish farm (130). Here, the first specific standard can be preset to a temperature having a high temperature heat source sufficient for use in heating the fish farm (130) and the greenhouse (150).

[0061] Additionally, the heat circulation device (170) can receive outside air through the outside air supply pipe (230) and transfer it to the heat exchange ventilation device (250) as air at a second temperature. Here, the outside air supply pipe (230) is installed in a labyrinth structure from below the floor of the greenhouse (150) to the heat exchange ventilation device (250), so that the temperature of the incoming outside air is controlled while it remains underground as it passes through the labyrinth structure pipe, thereby allowing it to transfer air at a second temperature to the heat exchange ventilation device (250). The outside air supply pipe (230) may include an outside air inlet, and the temperature of the outside air introduced by underground burial can be controlled by the underground temperature. For example, if the temperature of the incoming outside air is relatively higher than the underground temperature, it is lowered by the underground temperature, and if it is relatively lower than the underground temperature, it is raised by the underground temperature.

[0062] Additionally, the heat circulation device (170) can receive air of a first temperature and air of a second temperature through the heat exchange ventilation device (250) to generate air of a third temperature. The heat circulation device (170) can transport air of the third temperature through the supply air pipe (270) to the vertical farm (110) via the fish farm (130). Here, the supply air pipe (270) can transport air of the third temperature from the heat exchange ventilation device (250) to the top of the vertical farm (110). The air of the third temperature transported through the supply air pipe (270) can be used to control the indoor temperature of the fish farm (130).

[0063] Additionally, the heat circulation device (170) can transport air of a first temperature within the vertical farm (110) through the air duct (290) to the greenhouse (150) via the fish farm (130). Here, the air duct (290) is installed through the vertical farm (110) to the greenhouse (150), and a second electric damper (291) is placed on the duct above the fish farm (130), and a third electric damper (293) is placed on the duct above the greenhouse (150) to control the transport of air of the first temperature. The second and third electric dampers (291, 293) can be selectively operated to discharge air of the first temperature to the fish farm (130) or the greenhouse (150) for use in heating. When the second electric damper (291) is in operation, if the temperature of the fish farm (130) is above a second specific standard, it can discharge air of the first temperature, which is transported along the air duct (290), to the outside of the fish farm (130). Here, the second specific standard may correspond to a set temperature inside the fish farm (130), and if the temperature inside the fish farm (130) is above the set temperature, additional heating is not required, so the transport of air of the first temperature, which is the highest temperature air, can be stopped and discharged to the outside. When the third electric damper (293) is in operation, if the temperature of the greenhouse (150) is above a third specific standard, it can discharge air of the first temperature, which is transported along the air duct (290), to the outside of the greenhouse (150). Here, the third specific standard may correspond to a set temperature inside the greenhouse (150), and if the temperature inside the greenhouse (150) is above the set temperature, additional heating is not required, so the transfer of the first temperature air, which is the highest temperature air, can be stopped and discharged outside the greenhouse (150).

[0065] Figure 5 is an example diagram showing the labyrinth structure of the outside air supply pipeline in Figure 2.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 5, the outside air supply pipe (230) is installed underground or below the floor of the greenhouse (150) and can introduce outside air to adjust it to a second temperature and then transfer it upward to a heat exchange ventilation device (250) located above ground. The outside air supply pipe (230) can form an air transfer passage with various labyrinth structures, such as FIG. 4 (a) or (b). At this time, the time the air transferred through the outside air supply pipe (230) stays underground can be determined according to the labyrinth structure. The more complex the labyrinth structure of the outside air supply pipe (230), the longer the air stays underground, thereby increasing the temperature control efficiency. The outside air supply pipe (230) can transport outside air in a labyrinth structure to primarily adjust the outside air temperature to air of a second temperature, and the air of the second temperature can be finally adjusted to a temperature similar to the indoor temperature in a heat exchange ventilation device (250) and supplied to the indoors.

[0068] In one embodiment, the combined vertical aquaponics heat circulation device combines a vertical farm, a fish farm, and a greenhouse, and supplies low-temperature air by installing an outside air supply pipe underground and discharges upper air to the fish farm or greenhouse by installing an exhaust pipe at the top of the vertical farm, thereby utilizing the waste heat from the vertical farm for heating the fish farm and greenhouse, which can save more than 15% of the cooling costs of the vertical farm and more than 90% of the heating costs of the fish farm and greenhouse.

[0069] In addition, when operating air conditioners to cool the heat generated from the plant cultivation lamps in the vertical farm, the outdoor units can be installed in the fish farm and greenhouse, allowing the airflow from the outdoor units to be used for heating the fish farm or greenhouse.

[0070] In addition, a heat exchange ventilation system can heat or cool the cold or hot air outside using the heat or cold of the indoor air to make it similar to the indoor temperature and supply it to the indoors.

[0072] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described in the following claims.
