[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] Invention; it is related to the timber drying system with solar energy sourced heat transfer fluid, which enables rapid drying of timber by transferring the heat energy received from the solar collector with the heat transfer fluid that can change phase to the air taken from the environment in the heat exchanger.

[0004] The invention is especially; heat obtained from the resistance and solar collector, which converts electrical energy obtained from the solar collector into heat energy, allows it to be transferred to the heat exchanger through heat transfer pipes, enters the air inlet by transferring heat in the heat exchanger and heats the air contained in the hot air pipe, there are colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiOs, CuO, TiCh, SiL, boron carbide, szaybelite between 10-200 nanometers, boron solid particles, thanks to these particles and evaporates along with the heat received from the solar collector and the resistance, allowing for rapid heat transfer, it is related to the timber drying system containing a phase-changing heat transfer fluid that cools slowly thanks to nano-sized solid particles that hit the inner walls of the heat exchanger during condensation after heat transfer.

[0005] KNOWN STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

[0006] Today, natural and technical drying systems are used as timber drying methods. Considering the developing technology and increasing costs, the use of solar energybased heat transfer fluid timber drying systems; Benefiting from clean and natural energy sources provides various advantages such as low operating and investment costs.

[0007] In the current technique, in timber drying systems, natural gas and electrical energy are used in the drying chamber with steam heat; The drying process is carried out through the stages of heating, humidification and air circulation with the help of fans. Disadvantages of the energy sources used in these systems, such as not being environmentally friendly, high costs and low energy efficiency.

[0008] Due to the negative effects of the use of fossil fuels used in the current technique on cost and the environment, a trend towards energy-efficient solar energy-based timber drying systems has begun.

[0009] In order to achieve ideal drying in the systems used, the drying time must be short and the quality must be high. The transmission of heat energy used for the drying process to the air blown into the drying room must be fast and efficient.

[0010] Phase change fluids used in drying systems in the current technique have a heat conduction coefficient of 1100 W / mK. For this reason, they cannot react quickly in heat transfer.

[0011] As a result, in order to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages existing in the current technique, the need for a new economical, high energy efficient, environmentally friendly heat transfer fluid timber drying system and the inadequacy of existing solutions necessitated a development in the relevant technical field.

[0012] PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The present invention is related to the timber drying system with solar energy-derived heat transfer fluid, which is used in timber drying systems, developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and bring new advantages to the relevant technical field, and heats up quickly by transferring the heat from the sun to the heat transfer fluid that can change phase with the help of the solar collector.

[0014] The most important purpose of the invention is to include a heat transfer pipe containing the heat transfer fluid that can change phase. The phase-changing fluid transfers heat from the liquid phase to the vapor phase. After transmitting the heat, it condenses and returns. In the phase change heat transfer system, evaporation is accelerated with the heat received, thanks to the solid particles between 10 and 200 nanometers such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiOs, CuO, TiCh, SiL, boron carbide, szaybelite and boron. In this way, heat transfer is achieved quickly. After heat transfer, these solid particles do not clump and do not stick to each other during condensation. During condensation, the heat pipe cools slowly thanks to the nano-sized solid particles that hit the inner walls and descend. In this way, it has a high capacity to retain heat. Thanks to these nanoparticles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. There is no need for sintering or grooving or pocketing on the inner surfaces of heat pipes. Thus, it can work vertically and horizontally without shape restrictions.

[0015] Another purpose of the invention is that, as a result of our R&D studies, the phasechanging fluid has the heat conduction coefficient of 16098 W / mK. Therefore, our invention reacts very quickly and allows the drying process to be completed in a short time by quickly transmitting the heat energy received from the collector without causing energy loss.

[0016] Another important purpose of the invention is to reduce costs by obtaining the electrical energy used for the resistance from the solar collector.

[0017] Another important purpose of the invention is that it is environmentally friendly since heat energy is obtained from the solar collector and reduces the use of fuels that cause carbon emissions.

[0033] In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the solar heat transfer fluid timber drying system are explained only for a better understanding of the subject and without any limiting effect.

[0034] Figure 1-2 shows the solar energy-based heat transfer fluid timber drying system and its details, which are the subject of the invention. In our invention, the timber drying system consists of the solar collector (1) where heat and electrical energy are obtained, heat transfer pipe (2), resistance (10), heat exchanger (4), pump (3), fan (7) and drying chamber (9).

[0035] Electrical energy obtained from the solar collector (1) is carried to the resistance (10) through cables (11) and heats the resistance (10). The heat energy obtained from the resistance (10) used as an additional heat source and the heat energy obtained from the solar collector (1) is transferred to the heat transfer fluid that can change phase and transmitted to the heat exchanger (4) through the heat transfer pipe (2). The heated phase-change heat transfer fluid transfers its heat to the air entering through the air inlet (6) in the heat exchanger (4). The heated air, transferred to the drying chamber (9) via the hot air pipe (5), is blown into the room with the help of fans (7). The drying process is completed by expelling the moisture formed in the environment through the damp air outlet (8). With the pump (3) connected to the heat transfer pipe (2), the heat transfer fluid that can change phase is pumped to the solar collector (1).

[0036] In the invention, there are solid particles between 10-200 nanometers such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiOs, CuO, TiCh, SiL, boron carbide, szaybelite, boron in the heat transfer fluid that can change phase, and evaporation is accelerated thanks to these particles and the heat received from the solar collector (1). Since these nano particles have a catalyst effect, heat transfer is carried out quickly. After heat transfer, these solid particles do not clump (non-clustering) and do not stick to each other during condensation. During condensation, the heat exchanger (4) cools slowly thanks to the nano-sized solid particles that hit and fall on its inner walls. In this way, it has a high capacity to retain heat. Thanks to these nanoparticles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. There is no need for sintering or opening grooves or pockets on the inner surfaces of heat pipes. Thus, it can work vertically and horizontally without shape restrictions.

[0037] In our 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.

[0038] The scope of protection of this application is determined in the claims section and cannot be limited to what is strictly exemplified above. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can demonstrate the innovation set forth in the invention by using similar structures and / or apply this structure to other areas with similar purposes used in the relevant technique. Therefore, it is obvious that such structures will lack the criteria of innovation and especially surpassing the known state of the technique.
