Owing to many reasons, the available thermal energy of several heat pumps combined prove very difficult, mainly be because can reach the typical current temperature of optimum efficiency is about 50 ℃, thereby provide and control heat energy ' to the top termination ' for reaching desired 65 ℃ of needs.Adopt current technical development achievement, several heat pumps perhaps can be exported 65 ℃ hot water effectively.If can accomplish so also very to have accomplished, that just no longer needs to control heat energy ' arriving the top stops ', thereby can further reduce the needs that fossil fuel is imported.
This connection of second heat reservoir 51 as shown in Figure 2 makes can add heat pump main heating circuit 4, both can be that geothermal-source heat pump also can be an air source heat pump.The interpolation of second heat reservoir 51 can make the heat storage capacity multiplication, and also the performance to heat pump and solar heat device has good effect.Because two heat reservoirs 1 and 51 are identical basically,, help reducing cost so wait from a large amount of manufacturings and parts sum and spare part guarantee.Can use the thermostatic control technology of standard, or,, control this configuration with more advanced electron controls technology if be suitable for.
In use, mainly with reference to Fig. 2, the main heat reservoir thermostat 35 of first heat reservoir 1 is set in 63 ℃ or slightly higher.This requires to utilize the main energy to provide support by heat reservoir 51 when in a single day institute's heat accumulation can be consumed.Heat reservoir 51 is connected with the heat pump as the main thermal source, but the highest holding temperature that its main heat reservoir thermostat 35 is set in heat pump is below 48 ℃ of nominal.The differential controller of solar energy heating loop 16 usefulness standards is regulated the input of heat reservoir 51.This pair of mixing heat reservoir configuration 50 helps consuming the heat energy of heat reservoir 51, thereby the fossil fuel input is provided needn't for heat reservoir 1 again.This pair of mixing heat reservoir configuration 50 is designed to be able to extract the heat energy of heat reservoir 51 under all working pattern.This makes and can preferentially utilize the contribution of solar heat collector and guarantee best input state.Secondly, make the thermostatic control technology that to pay the utmost attention to standard control heat pump.According to available electricity charge structure,, can allow heat pump main loop 4 continuously move or allow it move at times if can utilize favourable electricity price.Perhaps, timer can be set, so that avoid the high electricity price period.Employing can make such thermal energy collecting reach optimization based on the electronic control system of advanced person's software.
Allow heat pump main loop 4 work, it is 50 ℃ that heat reservoir 51 minimum fills hot temperature entirely.When heat reservoir 51 is operated in this state, the extraction of hot water makes cold water (typical 6-10 ℃) flow through secondary water supply line 62 and flow through heat exchanger coil 23, and obtain the small amount of preheated energy from the bottom of container, and container bottom is created near the current in heat pump main loop 4, if and solar heat input is the 3rd heating circuit 21 that is connected in second heat reservoir 51, that is near the consumption location the solar energy input also just.Secondary water heat exchanger 11 is crossed in the overhead stream of second heat reservoir 51 in secondary subsequently water source, thereby draws a large amount of heat energy (according to flow, being about 35-42 ℃) from it.These current continue to flow to the secondary supply line 14 of first heat reservoir 1.That just is equal to the difference between the secondary water heat exchanger 11 exportable temperature that the temperature of coming in is 35-42 ℃ the secondary current and first heat reservoir 1 thermal energy consumption of first heat reservoir 1, certainly this still depend on flow but 55-60 ℃ temperature.Single heat reservoir system desired low about 60% is compared in the thermal energy consumption of first heat reservoir 1 now.
Similarly, when the heat pump of the main heating circuit 4 of second heat reservoir 51 is switched on power supply, central authorities' flow heated water 8 is extracted out from first heat reservoir 1, if this heating system is to be designed to have 40 ℃ or lower return water temperature, so just central flow heated water 9 is guided into the consumption location of 51 li of second heat reservoirs.Pipeline 61 is connected in the main heating circuit return pipeline 6 of first heat reservoir 1 to the top of second heat reservoir 51 and has finished the connection of water loop.In present case example worst, 65 ℃ the central authorities that pump is got add hot water and are replenished it by the water with 50 ℃.It is desirable to, for reaching optimum performance, the central heating of the highest design return water temperature should equal the highest output temperature of heat pump.The reduction of central authorities' flow heated water temperature has obvious benefit to efficient, and this reduction can be used on the temperature difference that increases water outlet and backwater in the design and compensates.
The ability to work of heat pump is determining the minimal design energy state.The direct heating that the ceiling capacity state can utilize solar heat to import and/or import with gentle breeze turbine or PV (photovoltaic cell) reaches.According to the technical specification of equipment, can supply with gentle breeze or PV energy with the element of directly imbedding direct current or that exchange.Heating element heater can be arranged on that one of heat reservoir 1 and 51 or both go up and their can be connected to optimize performance.According to the type of solar collector, by adding the collection of being exposed to the sun for a long time, 80-90 ℃ set point of temperature can reach.Control system can be configured to allow two heat reservoirs 1 and 51 to reach 90 ℃ maximum temperature.
In case the temperature that second heat reservoir is 51 li surpasses 65 ℃ of the serviceability temperatures of home-use hot water, central authorities' heating just begins energy is shifted to first heat reservoir 1 from second heat reservoir 51, so as to second heat reservoir 51 is consumed, and allow generation and the thermal energy storage of coming to heap(ed) capacity.The heap(ed) capacity of system becomes first heat reservoir 1 and second heat reservoir 51 is all filled heat to 90 ℃, fills thermal process and is detected by thermostat 36.All be connected the differential type radiator valve with 51 can for heat reservoir 1, with the temperature difference between two thermostats 36 measuring these two positions.When the temperature of second heat reservoir 51 than the temperature of first heat reservoir 1 high 2 ℃ or more many and by the temperature of thermostat 36 records of first heat reservoir 1 be higher than 90 ℃ again and heat pump be not in the running, additional cross-over connection flow pumps 71 just is energized operation.This can guarantee that first heat reservoir 1 still remains on second heat reservoir 51 is equal to and fill hot state, this can guarantee free potential thermal energy storage can both be maximized.
Refer now to Fig. 3, it expresses the second embodiment of the present invention, wherein, 26S Proteasome Structure and Function all is connected with supply line 14 with the secondary water heat exchanger 11 that heat reservoir 1 shown in Figure 2 or 51 identical heat reservoirs 151 are expressed as it, and supply line 14 is connected in the auxiliary heat reservoir that indicates generally by Reference numeral 152.Central authorities' heating return pipeline 9 of heat reservoir 151 is connected in auxiliary heat reservoir 152.
