[0001] TRANSPARENT PVT SYSTEM WITH HEAT TRANSFER FLUID AND CAPILLARY HEAT PIPE

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to a transparent PVT (photovoltaic thermal) system with heat transfer fluid and capillary heat pipe, which can be used instead of transparent structures such as glass, and which receives heat from photovoltaic panels as a result of their heating while generating electricity from photons coming from the sun, with the help of capillary heat transfer pipes placed behind the panel, and transmits it to be used as needed (heating the indoor environment, obtaining hot water, etc.).

[0004] KNOWN STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

[0005] Today, the continuous increase in energy demand is increasing the interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. For countries; in order to combat global problems such as the depletion of fossil fuels, climate change and to meet energy needs, the use of renewable energy sources has become an important alternative.

[0006] One of the most important elements that stands out among renewable energy sources is solar energy. Solar energy used through photovoltaic thermal systems offers an effective solution for electricity and heat production.

[0007] Photovoltaic systems used in the electricity production of solar energy provide an environmentally friendly energy source by converting sunlight directly into electricity. At the same time, it is also possible to convert solar energy into heat through thermal systems.

[0008] Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems can use solar energy as both electrical and thermal energy. In these systems, photovoltaic panels are cooled by the sunlight they are exposed to, while electrical energy is produced, overheating is prevented and efficiency is increased. Photovoltaic thermal systems provide higher energy efficiency compared to traditional photovoltaic systems and stand out as an important step in energy diversity. They offer a more flexible and sustainable solution in meeting energy needs with both electrical and thermal production.

[0009] Renewable energy sources and especially photovoltaic thermal systems play an important role in achieving sustainability goals in the energy sector. The global application of these technologies plays an important role in meeting future energy needs by supporting environmentally friendly and longterm solutions in energy production.

[0010] In the current technique, water or air systems are used to cool the PVT. In water PVT systems, the cells are arranged directly on a cover plate with dielectric material in the absorber or core. The heattransmitting fluid passes through the middle of the channels on the absorber and takes the accumulated heat. By sticking the cells to the absorber, the heat of the cells is removed and the efficiency is prevented from decreasing. In this case, the need for pumping arises, causing the PVT to use electricity while producing electricity.

[0011] In PVT air systems, air is used instead of water. Air can be ventilated to the system by natural circulation or forced circulation.

[0012] In PVT systems, the panels are opaque and do not provide any sunlight permeability.

[0013] While the thermal conductivity coefficient of water used in the current technique is around 0.6 W / mK, that of air is quite low at 0.25 W / mK.

[0014] There are other negative reasons such as slow heat transfer in the current technique and corrosion of systems with water circulation over time.

[0015] As a result, the need for a new economical, practical, transparent PVT system with heat transfer fluid and capillary heat pipe and the inadequacy of current solutions have made it necessary to make a development in the relevant technical field.

[0016] PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention is related to the transparent PVT system with heat transfer fluid and capillary heat pipe, which was developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and bring new advantages to the relevant technical field, and which transmits the heat generated while the cells in the photovoltaic panel generate electricity with the rays they receive from the sun, by means of plates and heat transfer pipes, and cools the heated PV panel in order to be used according to need (heating the indoor environment, obtaining hot water, etc.). The most important purpose of the invention is to include a capillary heat transfer pipe containing a phase-changing heat transfer fluid. The phase-changing fluid transfers heat by changing from the liquid phase to the vapor phase. After transferring heat, it condenses and returns. In the phase-changing heat transfer system, evaporation is accelerated with the heat received thanks to the solid particles between 10-200 nanometers such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiOs, CuO, TiCh, SiL, szaybelit, boron carbide, boron. Since these nano particles have a catalyst effect, heat transfer is carried out 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, the heat retention capacity is high. Thanks to these nano particles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. There is no need for sintering, grooves or pockets on the inner surfaces of the heat pipes. Thus, it can operate vertically and horizontally without any shape restrictions.

[0018] Another important purpose of the invention is that the fluid that can change phase, does not cluster, and can contain colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiC , CuO, TiO2, SiL, boron carbide, szaybelite, boron solid particles between 10-200 nanometers can be found inside the pipes, thus enabling heat transfer without water passing through the pipes.

[0019] Another purpose of the invention is to reduce the need for fossil fuels by using the electrical and thermal energy produced by assembling transparent PVT into structures (houses, plazas, multi-storey buildings, greenhouses, etc.) by using it instead of transparent materials such as glass, polycarbonate sheets, transparent plexiglass sheets, but not limited to these.

[0020] One purpose of the invention is that transparent PV is transparent and since the capillary pipes are thin, it does not prevent the back of the glass from being visible and light transmittance.

[0021] One purpose of the invention is that the transparent PVT surface heats up thanks to the rays it receives from solar energy and heats up its back surface, and the heat received from its back surface through capillary pipes can be used in ways such as, but not limited to, heating the interior, obtaining hot water, etc.

[0022] Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the decrease in efficiency as a result of the heating of the transparent PVT heated by the heat pipes containing phase-changeable heat transfer fluid by taking excess heat, and to increase its efficiency and electricity production.

[0023] Another purpose of the invention is that it does not need any circulation pump since it passively transmits heat through capillary heat pipes. Thus, there is no pumping cost and electricity consumption. Another purpose of the invention is that the heat transfer fluid contained therein does not have any flammable, explosive, allergenic, carcinogenic or pathogenic effects, so it does not adversely affect the environment or human health.

[0024] Another purpose of the invention is that the phase-changing fluid provides rapid heat transfer due to its 16098 W / mK heat transfer coefficient.

[0025] The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be understood more clearly thanks to the figures given below and the detailed explanation written by making references to these figures, and therefore the evaluation should be made by taking these figures and detailed explanation into consideration.

During electricity generation, the heated transparent PV (12) is cooled to increase its efficiency.

[0039] The transparent PVT system (10) with capillary heat pipe with heat transfer fluid can be positioned horizontally and / or vertically or at different angles. In addition, in our invention, there are capillary heat transfer pipes (11) and intermediate heat transfer pipe (13) containing phase changeable heat transfer fluid, which enable the system to operate passively, do not require circulation pump and electricity consumption.
