СОЛНЕЧНЫЙ ВОДОНАГРЕВАТЕЛЬ ПРЯМОГО НАГРЕВА С ВАКУУМНОЙ ТРУБКОЙ

Номер: RU0000183123U1

Полезная модель относится к гелиоэнергетике, в частности к устройствам, предназначенным для поглощения солнечной энергии с последующим преобразованием в тепловую энергию, в частности к солнечным водонагревателям, и может быть использована в системах отопления и горячего водоснабжения. В предложенном солнечном водонагревателе предлагается внутрь стеклянной вакуумной трубки встроить медную трубку, при этом верхний конец медной трубки открыт и крепится резьбовым соединением непосредственно к баку-накопителю через герметично приваренный к баку фитинг, а нижний конец трубки заглушен.

Солнечный коллектор интенсифицированного теплообмена с независимым контуром нагрева

Номер: RU0000186942U1

Полезная модель относится к области теплотехники, а именно к гелиотехнике, и может использоваться для нагрева жидкостей в контурах отопления и горячего водоснабжения. Целью полезной модели является интенсификация процесса теплообмена в солнечных коллекторах. Сущность предлагаемой полезной модели заключается в том, что в устройстве, состоящем из теплоизолированного корпуса и помещенного в него нагревательного элемента, для интенсификации процесса теплообмена нагревательный элемент выполнен из двух тонкостенных панелей, скрепленных между собой с образованием замкнутой полости для циркуляции текучей среды. При этом между панелями устроены дополнительные конвективные поверхности теплообмена в виде стержневидных элементов. Также верхняя панель, являющаяся абсорбирующей, устроена с образованием сферических сегментов, увеличивающих площадь лучеприемной поверхности по всей площади, кроме области над теплообменным устройством. Циркуляция текучей среды происходит по замкнутому объему, образованному верхней и нижней панелью нагревательного элемента. Нагрев теплоносителя в системе отопления или горячего водоснабжения (ГВС) осуществляется при помощи помещенного в полость панели, образующую независимый контур нагрева, съемного теплообменного устройства, выполненного из оребренных труб. Для реализации данного процесса, солнечный коллектор размещается под углом к горизонту теплообменным устройством вверх, где за счет разности плотностей в нагревательном элементе сосредотачивается текучая среда с наиболее высокой температурой. Также в этой части панели предусмотрено воздухоотводящее устройство, а в нижней - патрубок для подачи холодной воды с запорной арматурой.

Сборная теплообменная панель упрощенного монтажа

Номер: RU0000187165U1

Полезная модель относится к области теплотехники, в частности гелиотехники, и может использоваться для нагрева воды в солнечных коллекторах. Целью полезной модели является оптимизация процесса теплопередачи от абсорбирующей поверхности панели к трубам теплоносителя. Сущность предлагаемой полезной модели заключается в том, что в устройстве, состоящем из элементов алюминиевого профиля теплообменной панели плотно обжимающих трубки с теплоносителем, для оптимизации процесса теплопередачи элементы панели изготавливаются с полностью эквидистантной трубкам внутренней поверхностью, исключающей из теплопроводного сечения воздушные полости, снижающие эффективность теплообмена в наиболее нагретых областях панели. Следует уменьшить толщину панели в наиболее подверженном ее изгибу месте, изменив плоскую конфигурацию панели на волнообразную с предусмотренными на ее поверхности U-образными каналами, что приведет к снижению трудоемкости монтажа, при сравнительно более меньшем уровне материалоемкости и площади лучевоспринимающей поверхности, а также более эффективному теплообмену. Теплообменная панель устроена таким образом, что элементы алюминиевого профиля выполнены осесимметрично с кромками и пазами, позволяющими легко соединить элементы друг с другом и образовать вокруг трубки с теплоносителем замкнутый контур. Что осуществимо вследствие образования волнообразной конфигурации поверхности, позволяющей деформировать элемент профиля до формы пригодной для соединения с другим элементом с последующим восстановлением первоначальной формы, ввиду удовлетворяющего осуществлению данного процесса модуля упругости алюминия. В результате, процесс сборки панели выполняется вручную, без использования каких-либо приспособлений, с применением простых фиксирующих оснований. Теплоноситель, циркулирующий по трубкам, забирает тепло от корпуса теплообменной панели, тем самым охлаждая её, и далее транспортируется в накопитель потребителя. Для реализации этого процесса с наибольшей эффективностью, ...

Vacuum tube solar collector with overheating protectionby means of a rotating reflector

Номер: US20130025587A1
Принадлежит: Individual

The aim is to add a device to vacuum-tube solar collectors so as to prevent overheating thereof. FIG. 1 shows an illustration summarizing the invention applied, in this case, to a vacuum-tube collector of the type consisting of a single glass tube ( 1 ) with heat pipe ( 2 ) centred inside the glass tube ( 1 ) and making contact with heat-absorbing fins ( 6 ). The invention is characterized in that the part of the inner wall of the glass tube ( 1 ) which is hidden from the sun incorporates a curved reflector ( 3 ) with a small thickness along the entire length of the glass tube ( 1 ), which reflector is secured by means of various rings ( 4 ) and is able to rotate while being operated by means of a nitinol or bi-metal torsion spring ( 5 ) which is screwed in and makes good thermal contact with the evaporator tube of the heat pipe ( 2 ) so that, when the temperature of the evaporator tube of the heat pipe ( 2 ) increases beyond a certain value, it causes the nitinol spring to change form, rotate and cause rotation of the reflector ( 3 ), protecting the heat-absorbing fins ( 6 ) from the solar radiation and preventing overheating of the collector and the solar installation. Rotation is reversed when the temperature of the evaporator tube ( 2 ) drops, the collector remaining in the normal heat supply condition. This invention is applicable, with certain modifications, to any type of vacuum-tube solar collector according to the accompanying description. Thus not only is overheating prevented in solar installations, but also the collectors are made more efficient due to the reflection of the radiation heat losses of the fins back towards themselves by means of the reflector.

The invention describes a new and simple method of construction of a stationary distillation unit and of a small portable distillation unit. The evaporation pans are made of simple materials and are covered with a transparent film. Additionally in the small portable unit its evaporation pan has a double bottom, which receives hot water. By connection of the evaporation pan with the solar collectors () its productive ability significantly increases. The portable and stationary desalination units of the invention use solar power exclusively and simultaneously produce two products: distilled water and salt. The exploitation of solar radiation occurs both in the part of the unit covered by the transparent film as well as in the use of hot water produced by the solar collector connected to it, thus speeding up the evaporation of sea water. The transparent film, besides helping increase and hold the heat inside the production space, also protects the production space from pollutants in the environment, and as a result the products do not need further processing before being sent to consumption. Besides the fact that each unit can be used as an autonomous production unit of distilled water and salt, the units can also function as sub-units of a production line of an unlimited number of sub-units, where their combined use functions as a large production unit of distilled water and salt. 1.
