Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for collection of thermal energy.
  • the system comprises a heat pump, an energy collector, an energy reservoir, and an energy collection medium.
  • energy collectors such as solar air collectors, solar water collectors, and combinations thereof have been connected to the domestic hot water system, since such energy collectors at the northern hemisphere are most efficient during summer time where the solar radiation and the outdoor temperature are high. At the same time the need for heating of the buildings is very low and sometimes non-existing. During periods with lower solar radiation and/or lower outdoor temperature, the efficiency of energy collectors are lower and their ability to collect an amount of energy which is significant compared to the amount of energy which is needed for production of domestic hot water and/or heating of the building is decreased.
  • the invention provides a system for collection of thermal energy, the system comprising an energy collector, an energy reservoir, and an energy collection medium for circulation between the energy collector and the energy reservoir, wherein the system further comprises a heat pump being adapted to decrease the temperature of the energy collection medium outside the energy collector.
  • the mean temperature inside the energy collector By decreasing the temperature of the energy collection medium outside the energy collector it may be possible to decrease the mean temperature inside the energy collector and thereby increase the temperature gradient over the energy collector and thus increase the efficiency of the system. As an example, this may be done by decreasing the temperature of the energy collection medium before it is circulated back to the energy collector.
  • the energy reservoir may be a water reservoir with domestic hot water, a reservoir with water for heating the building, or a combined reservoir from which a part of the water is used as domestic hot water and another part is used for heating the building.
  • the reservoir may be divided into two separate reservoirs in order to be able to circulate the water for heating without mixing it with the domestic hot water.
  • the two separate reservoirs may thus be in thermal contact with each other, e.g. by mounting one of the reservoirs inside the other reservoir.
  • the energy collector may comprise an inlet and an outlet for the energy collection medium in order to be able to circulate the energy collection medium between the energy collector and the energy reservoir.
  • the inlet and outlet may be connected to each other by a set of pipes so that the energy collector, the inlet and the outlet together with the pipes form a closed loop being in thermal communication with the energy reservoir.
  • the energy reservoir may be part of the loop which in this case may not be a closed loop, since water may be tapped from the energy reservoir e.g. for heating a building.
  • the diameter of the pipes may be chosen so that the pipes themselves form the energy reservoir.
  • circulation of the energy collection medium between the energy collector and the energy reservoir is constituted by circulation of the energy collection medium between the energy collector and the pipes. This embodiment may be particularly relevant if only a small energy reservoir is needed.
  • the size of the energy reservoir may vary.
  • a small energy reservoir may have a volume in the range of 10-20 litres
  • a medium sized energy reservoir may have a volume in the range of 20-100 litres
  • a large energy reservoir may have a volume of more than 100 litres.
  • the mentioned volumes may vary and that the volume of the energy reservoir may include the volume of the pipes connecting the energy reservoir to the energy collector.
  • the pipes themselves may constitute the energy reservoir and may consequently have a volume of e.g. 10-20 litres.
  • the energy collector may be a solar air collector, a solar water collector, or a combination thereof.
  • a solar air collector is in this connection understood, an element in which air is heated by solar energy when air is circulated through the element.
  • a solar water collector an element in which water or another suitable liquid medium is heated by solar energy when the liquid medium is circulated there through.
  • traditional solar collectors comprising plates between which water or air may be heated can be used in the present invention.
  • vacuum solar collectors may be used.
  • a concave mirror may be used together with a set of pipes.
  • the energy collector may comprise an absorber in order to enhance the collection of solar energy.
  • the absorber may comprise a photovoltaic panel which may produce electricity based on incident solar radiation on the panel.
  • the photovoltaic panel may be coupled to the heat pump in order to supply electricity of the heat pump.
  • the photovoltaic panel may be of a size which is large enough to fully cover the need for electricity of the heat pump.
  • the energy collection medium may be air or a liquid medium such as water depending on the energy collector chosen. In alternative embodiments, a combination of air and a liquid medium may be used. If air is chosen as the energy collection medium this may in one embodiment be outdoor air being circulated through the energy collector and subsequently circulated to the energy reservoir, whereas the energy collection medium in another embodiment may be indoor air.
  • water as an energy collection medium may require adding of an anti-freeze solution to the liquid medium in order to prevent freezing of the energy collection medium and thereby prevent damaging of the energy collector. Therefore, water as an energy collection medium may in this connection comprise water including an anti-freeze solution.
  • An example of a suitable anti-freeze solution may be glycol.
  • the energy collection medium may likewise be another liquid medium where water with or without an anti-freeze solution is meant as an example.
  • water or another suitable liquid medium is used as an energy collection medium.
  • the water When water is circulated between the energy reservoir and the energy collector and through the energy collector, the water may be heated due to incident solar radiation on the energy collector and due to the temperature difference between the energy collection medium, in this case water, and the energy collector. The heated water is circulated back to the energy reservoir leading to a temperature increase of the water in the energy reservoir.
  • the energy collector may be coupled to the energy reservoir so that thermal energy can be transported from the energy collector to the energy reservoir by circulation of the energy collection medium.
  • the energy collector may in this embodiment be a combined solar air and water collector.
  • two separate energy collectors may be applied, one being a solar air collector and one being a solar water collector. It may in one embodiment be possible to switch between the two energy collection media and/or the two energy collectors e.g. dependent on the need of energy.
  • the water in the energy reservoir e.g. water for heating a building
  • the energy collector may be circulated through the energy collector, in which case the energy collection medium is a part of the water in the energy reservoir.
  • the heat pump may be adapted for transportation of thermal energy from a first heat exchanger to a second heat exchanger.
  • transportation of energy is in this connection understood, that the temperature of the first heat exchanger is decreased while the temperature of the second heat exchanger is increased.
  • At least one of the two heat exchangers of the heat pump may be positioned so that thermal energy can be exchanged between the heat pump and the energy reservoir. I.e. the at least one heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can collect thermal energy from the energy reservoir, thus the energy reservoir may be cooled. And/or the at least one heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can supply thermal energy to the energy reservoir, thus the energy reservoir may be heated.
  • the energy collector may be coupled to the energy reservoir via a third heat exchanger.
  • the energy collection medium may be circulated in a closed loop without being mixed with the water for domestic hot water not with the water for heating of the building.
  • the first heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can collect thermal energy from the energy reservoir, whereas the second heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can supply thermal energy to the energy reservoir.
  • both the first and the second heat exchanger are in thermal contact with the energy reservoir.
  • the first heat exchanger may be positioned substantially vertically below the second heat exchanger in the energy reservoir, thereby enlarging the natural temperature difference in an energy reservoir.
  • substantially vertical below should in this connection be understood that the first heat exchanger is positioned at a level which is situated below a level at which the second heat exchanger is situated.
  • the heat pump may be dimensioned to a low power level and at the same time being able to cope with sunny days with a high level of solar incident resulting in a large amount of thermal energy being transferred to the energy collection medium in the energy collector.
  • the system may comprise an extra energy reservoir.
  • the first heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can collect thermal energy from the energy reservoir, and the second heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can supply thermal energy to the extra reservoir.
  • the heat pump may be positioned so that it can cool the energy reservoir while heating the extra energy reservoir.
  • the first heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can collect thermal energy from the energy collection medium before the energy collection medium is received by the energy collector, and the second heat exchanger may be positioned so that it can supply thermal energy to the energy reservoir.
  • the first heat exchanger may cool this medium, and thus allow for an increased performance of the energy collector.
  • the energy reservoir may be heated as the second heat exchanger may supply thermal energy hereto.
  • the second heat exchanger may be positioned substantially above the third heat exchanger. This may enlarge the natural temperature difference in the energy reservoir.
  • the system may further comprise a heater being adapted to heat the energy collection medium before the energy collection medium reaches the energy collector.
  • the heater may e.g. be a traditional radiator, or a solar air collector, through which or along which the energy collection medium is lead and thus heated.
  • the heater may further comprise a ventilator in order to facilitate heating of the energy collection medium. Other heaters may also be used.
  • the system may further comprise a control system being adapted to control a first exchange of thermal energy between the energy collector and the energy reservoir and adapted to control a second exchange of thermal energy to and from the heat pump in such a way that the first and second exchange of thermal energy are controlled independently. This may allow for separate control strategies for the first and second exchange of thermal energy.
  • control system may allow the energy collection medium to be circulated in periods in which the incident solar radiation and/or the outdoor temperature are sufficient to increase the temperature of the energy collection medium.
  • control system may limit the exchange of energy to and from the heat pump to periods in which the efficiency of such an exchange is above a pre-defined lower level.
  • control system may prevent circulation of the energy collection medium when the outdoor temperature is below a pre-defined value.
  • Other control strategies may also be applicable.
  • Two separate control strategies may furthermore allow the energy collection medium to collect thermal energy constantly, whereas the heat pump may only be switched on when it is reasonable.
  • the heat pump may comprises a circuit for circulation of a refrigerant between the first and the second heat exchanger and cooling device for compression and expansion of the refrigerant during circulation in the circuit.
  • the heat pump may as an example include different types of cooling principles, such as Stirling or Scroll.
  • the heat pump may comprise a gas, e.g. CO 2 , Helium, Argon, or air.
  • the heat pump may provide heat transportation by compression of a gas and optionally by establishing a phase shift of the refrigerant during circulation in the circuit—such principles are well known in refrigeration industry.
  • the refrigerant is circulated between a condenser in which a compressed medium cools down and thus condenses, an evaporator, in which the compressed medium is expended and evaporated and in which the refrigerant thus absorbs thermal energy, and a compressor which compresses the evaporated refrigerant.
  • the condenser may constitute one of the heat exchangers and the evaporator may constitute the other heat exchanger.
  • the heat pump may comprise one or more Peltier elements.
  • Peltier elements may be particularly relevant if the temperature difference between the first and second heat exchanger during the majority of hours of operation is relatively low, since operation of a Peltier element at a high temperature difference may decrease the efficiency of the element. Running Peltier elements at maximum capacity may lower the efficiency, and it may therefore be an advantage to apply a plurality of Peltier elements, and thus operate them at around medium capacity.
  • Peltier elements may even be an advantage to combine Peltier elements with a more traditional compressor based heat pump and to shift between the two principles based on the temperature difference across the heat exchanger so that the Peltier elements works at temperature differences which are low and the compressor based heat pump works when the temperature difference becomes above a specific level, e.g. above 10 degrees in difference between the hot and the cold site of the heat pump. In that case, the user may benefit from silent operation whenever the Peltier elements are active.
  • a lower mean temperature may be desired. This may be achieved by choosing an energy reservoir having a lower heat capacity. Accordingly, a smaller amount of energy may be contained in the energy reservoir, which furthermore has the advantage that the system reacts fast. In other connections, a larger heat capacity may be preferred. Therefore, the heat capacity of the energy reservoir may vary dependent on the use of the system. As an example, the heat capacity of the energy reservoir including the medium contained herein may in the range of 5-100 kJ/K. In another example, the heat capacity of the energy reservoir may be above 100 kJ/K.
  • the heat capacity of the energy collector and the first heat exchanger may vary.
  • the heat capacity of the energy collector including the energy collection medium and the first heat exchanger may be above 10 kJ/K.
  • the heat capacity of the energy collector including the energy collection medium, the first heat exchanger, and a pipe connecting an inlet and an outlet of the energy collector may be above 10 kJ/K.
