Description

열전발전 겸용 온수공급장치{WARM WATER APPARATUS FOR USE OF THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR}Thermoelectric combined hot water supply device {WARM WATER APPARATUS FOR USE OF THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR}

본 발명은 열전발전 겸용 온수공급장치에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 온수를 공급하면서 냉수와의 열적 차이를 이용해 열전발전을 겸하는 온수공급장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a thermoelectric power combined hot water supply device, and more particularly, to a hot water supply device that combines thermoelectric power by using a thermal difference with cold water while supplying hot water.

열전발전(Thermoelectric Generation)이란 열에너지를 직접 전기에너지로 변환하는 기술로서, 고온 부분과 저온 부분 사이의 온도차에 의해 발생하는 열이 이동하려는 에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 개념이다. 두 종류의 서로 다른 금속을 접속한 재료(소자)의 양단에 온다차를 주면 기전력이 발생하는 제벡(Seebeck)효과를 이용하여 p,n 반도체 재료의 양단에 온도차가 존재할 때 열에너지를 전기에너지로 변환시키는 기술이다.Thermoelectric Generation is a technology that converts heat energy directly into electric energy. It is a concept that the heat generated by the difference in temperature between the high temperature part and the low temperature part is converted into electric energy. By using the Seebeck effect, which generates an electromotive force by applying an electric current to both ends of a material (device) connected with two different metals, thermal energy is converted into electric energy when there is a temperature difference between both ends of the semiconductor material Technology.

이러한 열전발전은 날씨나 일조량에 영향을 받는 태양전지에 비해 안정적인 열원을 확보할 수만 있다면 24시간 안정적으로 발전이 가능하다. 특히 고체 전자회로를 이용하는 것이므로 작동부분이 없어 구조가 간단하고, 이용할 수 있는 열원이 다양해 지구온난화와 고유가에 대한 대응으로서 새로운 대체에너지 기술로 각광받고 있다.Such a thermoelectric power generation can be stably produced for 24 hours if a stable heat source can be secured as compared with a solar cell influenced by the weather or the amount of sunshine. In particular, because it uses solid-state electronic circuits, there is no operating part, and the structure is simple and the available heat sources are varied, and it is attracting attention as a new alternative energy technology as a response to global warming and high oil prices.

근래 들어서는 산업시설에서 방출되는 열기, 자동차의 배기가스열, 태양열 등을 열전발전의 발전원으로 사용하고 있다.In recent years, heat generated from industrial facilities, exhaust gas heat from automobiles, and solar heat are used as power generation sources for thermoelectric power generation.

그러나, 산업시설이나 특수시설이 아닌 곳에서도 열전발전을 위한 고온의 열이 발생함에도 불구하고 이를 제대로 이용하고 있지 못하고 있다.However, even though it is not industrial facilities or special facilities, even though high temperature heat is generated for thermoelectric power generation, it is not properly used.

특히, 일반 가정이나 숙박 업소 등에서 사용되는 고온의 온수에서 상당량의 열이 발생하지만 이를 열전발전에 제대로 응용하고 있지 못한 실정이다.In particular, a large amount of heat is generated from the hot water of a high temperature used in a general home or lodging establishment, but the situation is not properly applied to thermoelectric power generation.

이하, 첨부된 도면들을 참조하면서 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 대해 상세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

본 발명의 실시예에 따른 열전발전 겸용 온수공급장치는, 도1에 도시된 바와 같이, 크게 온수공급부(200)와, 열전모듈(400)과, 전력변환부(600) 및 부하부(800)를 포함한다.The thermoelectric power combined hot water supply apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, largely the hot water supply unit 200, the thermoelectric module 400, the power conversion unit 600 and the load unit 800 It includes.

먼저, 온수공급부(200)는 냉수관(320)으로부터 상온 상태의 냉수를 제공받아 가열한 후 일정 온도 이상으로 가열하여 온수관(340)을 통해 온수를 공급한다. 이러한 온수공급부(200)로는 석유나 가스를 사용하여 온수를 가열하는 통상의 보일러뿐만 아니라 전기나 열교환을 이용하여 온수를 가열하는 히터 등을 모두 포함한다. 그리고, 상기 냉수관(320)으로부터 제공되는 냉수는 상수원이나 이미 저장된 물탱크 등에서 공급받는다.First, the hot water supply unit 200 receives cold water at room temperature from the cold water pipe 320 and heats it, and then heats it to a predetermined temperature or more to supply hot water through the hot water pipe 340. The hot water supply unit 200 includes both a conventional boiler for heating hot water using oil or gas, as well as a heater for heating hot water using electricity or heat exchange. In addition, the cold water provided from the cold water pipe 320 is supplied from a water source or an already stored water tank.

다음으로, 열전모듈(400)은 상기 냉수관(320)과 상기 온수관(340) 사이에 개재되어 온도차에 의한 열에너지를 전기에너지로 변환시킨다. 이러한 열전모듈(400)은 상기 냉수관(320) 사이에 마련되어 냉수가 흐르는 통로를 형성하는 저온단(420)과, 상기 온수관(340) 사이에 마련되어 온수가 흐르는 통로를 형성하는 고온단(460)과, 상기 저온단(420)과 상기 고온단(460) 사이에 접합되어 온도차에 의한 기전력을 발생하는 열전소자(440)를 포함한다.Next, the thermoelectric module 400 is interposed between the cold water pipe 320 and the hot water pipe 340 to convert thermal energy due to the temperature difference into electrical energy. The thermoelectric module 400 is provided between the cold water pipe 320 and the cold end 420 to form a passage through which cold water flows, and the hot end 460 provided between the hot water pipe 340 to form a passage through which hot water flows. And a thermoelectric element 440 bonded between the low temperature end 420 and the high temperature end 460 to generate an electromotive force due to a temperature difference.

여기서, 상기 저온단(420) 및 고온단(460)의 열전도율은 냉수관(320) 및 온수관(340)보다 상대적으로 열전도율이 높은 재질로 이루어지는 것이 열전발전을 효율을 높이는 데 바람직하다. 예를 들어, 금속 중에서도 열전도율이 우수한 알루미늄 구리 등이나 열전도율의 향상을 위해 제작된 합성금속으로 이루어질 수 있다.Here, the thermal conductivity of the low-temperature end 420 and the high-temperature end 460 is made of a material having a relatively higher thermal conductivity than the cold water pipe 320 and the hot water pipe 340 is preferable to increase the efficiency of thermoelectric power generation. For example, the metal may be made of aluminum copper, which is excellent in thermal conductivity, or a synthetic metal produced for improving thermal conductivity.

그리고, 상기 열전소자(440)는 P-타입의 P형 반도체와 N-타입의 N형 반도체를 포함할 수 있으며, 이는 동일한 평면상에 임의의 간격만큼 이격되어 교대로 배치될 수 있다. 이러한 열전소자(440)는 알루미나 등과 같은 세라믹(Ceramics) 재질의 절연판 사이에 N형과 P형의 열전소자들을 배열시켜 형성할 수 있으며, 상기 열전소자(440)의 양단에 일정 온도차를 형성시키면 제백효과에 의해 직류전압이 발생하여 전기에너지를 얻을 수 있게 된다.In addition, the thermoelectric element 440 may include a P-type P-type semiconductor and an N-type N-type semiconductor, which may be alternately spaced apart by a predetermined interval on the same plane. The thermoelectric element 440 may be formed by arranging N-type and P-type thermoelectric elements between insulating plates made of ceramics such as alumina, and the like, if a predetermined temperature difference is formed at both ends of the thermoelectric element 440. The DC voltage is generated by the effect to obtain the electrical energy.

다음으로, 전력변환부(600)는 상기 열전소자()에서 출력되는 전원을 스위칭하여 배터리 충전에 적합한 충전전압으로 승압하는 스위칭부를 포함할 수 있다. 이때, 상기 스위칭부는 제어부로부터 입력받는 신호에 따라 상기 열전소자에서 출력되는 전원을 스위칭하는데, 상기 제어부는 상기 열전소자의 출력전압 등의 출력값에 기초하여 상기 스위칭부를 제어할 신호를 결정한다. 또한, 상기 전력변환부(600)에는 상기 스위칭부에서 승압된 전압을 정류하여 배터리로 전달하는 정류부가 구비될 수 있다. Next, the power conversion unit 600 may include a switching unit for boosting the power output from the thermoelectric element (1) to boost the charging voltage suitable for battery charging. In this case, the switching unit switches the power output from the thermoelectric element according to a signal received from the control unit, the control unit determines a signal to control the switching unit based on an output value such as the output voltage of the thermoelectric element. In addition, the power conversion unit 600 may be provided with a rectifier for rectifying the voltage boosted by the switching unit to transfer to the battery.

다음으로, 부하부(800)는 상기 전력변환부(600)와 전기적으로 연결되어 열전발전으로 생성된 직류전압을 외부로 제공한다. 이러한 부하부(800)는 각종 전자기기나 배터리를 충전하기 위한 충전단자를 구비한다. 상기 충전단자의 규격은 휴대기기의 종류에 따라 당업자에 의해 다양하게 선택될 수 있으며, 변환젠더 등을 별도로 구비할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 가정이나 숙박업소에서는 저전력 전자기기를 충전하여 전기요금을 절감할 수 있다.Next, the load unit 800 is electrically connected to the power converter 600 to provide a DC voltage generated by thermoelectric generation to the outside. The load unit 800 includes a charging terminal for charging various electronic devices or batteries. The standard of the charging terminal may be variously selected by a person skilled in the art depending on the type of portable equipment, and a conversion gender may be separately provided. Accordingly, in the home or lodging can charge the low-power electronic devices to reduce the electricity bill.

그리고, 상기 부하부(800)에는 LED와 같은 장식용 발광소자를 연결하여 가정이나 숙박업소의 욕실 등에서 온수 공급 중에 미려함을 향상시키고, 고온수를 자주 사용하는 목용탕이나 음식점 등에는 경고용 발광소자를 연결하여 사람이 화상을 입을 수 있는 고온수에 대해 주의를 요하는 시인성을 부각시킬 수 있다.In addition, the load unit 800 is connected to a decorative light emitting device such as an LED to improve the beauty while supplying hot water in the bathroom of a home or a lodging place, and a warning light emitting device for a bath or restaurant that frequently uses high temperature water. By connecting, it is possible to highlight the visibility that requires attention to hot water which can cause a burn.

본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 열전발전 겸용 온수공급장치는, 도2에 도시된 바와 같이, 온수공급장치(200)와 연결되는 열전모듈(400)이 일정 간격을 두고 복수개로 배치된다. 이에 따라, 하나의 온수공급장치(200)를 통해 복수개의 열전모듈(400)을 발전시킴으로써 발전량을 증대할 수 있다.In the thermoelectric power generation hot water supply apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, the thermoelectric module 400 connected to the hot water supply device 200 is arranged in plurality at a predetermined interval. Accordingly, power generation may be increased by generating a plurality of thermoelectric modules 400 through one hot water supply device 200.

여기서, 상기 열전모듈(400)은 저온단(420)과 고온단(460)이 서로 마주하도록 배치될 수 있다. 이 경우 상기 열전모듈(400) 간에는 절연층을 개재하여 상기 저온단과 상기 고온단 간에 열교환을 차단함으로써 열전발전 효율이 저하되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Here, the thermoelectric module 400 may be disposed such that the low temperature end 420 and the high temperature end 460 face each other. In this case, it is possible to prevent the thermoelectric power generation efficiency from being lowered by blocking heat exchange between the low temperature end and the high temperature end through the insulating layer between the thermoelectric modules 400.

반대로, 상기 열전모듈(400)은 저온단(420)은 저온단(420)과 마주하고 고온단(460)은 고온단(460)과 서로 마주하도록 배치될 수 있다. 이 경우 상기 열전모듈(400) 간에는 열전도성 구리스(500)를 개재하여 저온단(420)과 저온단(420), 고온단(460)과 고온단(460)이 열교환 되도록 함으로써 개별로 분리된 열전모듈들의 저온단과 고온단 간의 열적 차이를 일정하게 유지되도록 한다.On the contrary, the thermoelectric module 400 may be disposed such that the low temperature end 420 faces the low temperature end 420 and the high temperature end 460 faces the high temperature end 460. In this case, the thermoelectric modules 400 are separately separated by heat exchange between the low temperature stage 420 and the low temperature stage 420, the high temperature stage 460, and the high temperature stage 460 through the thermal conductive grease 500. The thermal difference between the cold and hot ends of the modules is kept constant.
