Description

DISPOSITIF ET PROCEDE DE CLIMATISATION D'UNE HABITATIONDEVICE AND METHOD FOR AIR CONDITIONING A HOUSE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de climatisation d'une habitation, comportant au moins une paroi verticale formée d'un matériau coulé tel que du béton, cette paroi formant une cloison de l'habitation.The present invention relates to a device for air conditioning a dwelling, comprising at least one vertical wall formed from a poured material such as concrete, this wall forming a partition of the dwelling.
Elle concerne également un procédé de climatisation d'une habitation comportant au moins une paroi verticale formée d'un matériau coulé tel que du béton, cette paroi formant une cloison de l'habitation, cette paroi verticale contenant au moins un tube continu pourvu d'une entrée et d'une sortie, l'entrée étant reliée à une source de fluide et la sortie étant reliée à un conduit d'évacuation du fluide.It also relates to a method of air conditioning a dwelling comprising at least one vertical wall formed of a poured material such as concrete, this wall forming a partition of the dwelling, this vertical wall containing at least one continuous tube provided with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being connected to a source of fluid and the outlet being connected to a conduit for discharging the fluid.
Dans les constructions conventionnelles, une ou plusieurs sources de chaleur sont disposées dans chaque pièce de façon à maintenir la pièce à une température agréable. Ces sources de chaleur quasi ponctuelles doivent être à une température relativement élevée pour que la température de l'ensemble de la pièce soit agréable. En fait, avec une telle source ponc- tuelle, il existe un fort gradient de température entre la source de chaleur et le point le plus froid de la pièce. Ceci peut créer une situation inconfortable pour les personnes dans la pièce. De plus, une source à température élevée implique des pertes d'énergie importantes et une forte consommation d'énergie.In conventional constructions, one or more heat sources are arranged in each room so as to keep the room at a pleasant temperature. These quasi-point sources of heat must be at a relatively high temperature for the temperature of the whole room to be pleasant. In fact, with such a point source, there is a strong temperature gradient between the heat source and the coldest point in the room. This can create an uncomfortable situation for people in the room. In addition, a high temperature source involves significant energy losses and high energy consumption.
D'autre part, dans le cas de chauffage à circulation d'eau, lorsque la différence entre la température ambiante et la température de la source de chaleur est importante, il est indispensable d'isoler les tubes transportant l'eau de chauffage afin de minimiser les pertes d'énergie. Cette isolation augmente le coût de l'installation. Afin d'obtenir une meilleure répartition de la source de chaleur dans la pièce, des serpentins de chauffage ont été incorporés dans le sol des pièces. Ces serpentins peuvent être des résistances électriques ou des tubes dans lesquels de l'eau à température relativement élevée circule.On the other hand, in the case of water circulation heating, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature of the heat source is significant, it is essential to isolate the tubes carrying the heating water in order to minimize energy loss. This insulation increases the cost of the installation. In order to obtain a better distribution of the heat source in the room, heating coils have been incorporated in the floor of the rooms. These coils can be electrical resistors or tubes in which relatively high temperature water circulates.
A nouveau, pour maintenir la pièce à une température agréable, la source de chaleur doit être relativement chaude et le gradient de température entre le sol et le plafond est important. Ceci est souvent ressenti comme inconfortable.Again, to keep the room at a comfortable temperature, the heat source must be relatively warm and the temperature gradient between the floor and the ceiling is large. This is often felt as uncomfortable.
Les installations décrites ci-dessus ne permettent que de chauffer les pièces. Lorsque l'on souhaite par contre refroidir l'habitation, une autre installation doit être mise en place.The installations described above only allow the rooms to be heated. When you wish to cool the house, however, another installation must be put in place.
A nouveau, lorsque l'installation de refroidissement est quasi ponctuelle, elle doit avoir une température relativement basse pour que l'ensemble de la pièce soit suffisamment refroidi. Ceci crée, d'une part, une sensation inconfortable due au fort gradient de température entre le point le plus chaud et le point le plus froid de la pièce. Ceci peut d'autre part créer des problèmes dus à la condensation de l'humidité de l'air sur des tubes à basse température.Again, when the cooling installation is almost punctual, it must have a relatively low temperature so that the entire room is sufficiently cooled. This creates, on the one hand, an uncomfortable feeling due to the strong temperature gradient between the hottest point and the coldest point of the room. This can also create problems due to the condensation of air humidity on tubes at low temperature.
La présente invention se propose de pallier ces inconvénients en réalisant un dispositif de climatisation permettant aussi bien de chauffer que de refroidir une pièce, par une répartition optimale de la chaleur produite.The present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks by providing an air conditioning device making it possible to both heat and cool a room, by optimally distributing the heat produced.
Elle se propose également de pallier ces inconvénients en réalisant un procédé de climatisation particulièrement simple à contrôler et à mettre en oeuvre et donnant un confort optimal dans l'habitation.It also proposes to overcome these drawbacks by carrying out a particularly simple air conditioning process to control and implement and providing optimal comfort in the home.
Elle permet une économie importante d'énergie grâce à l'utilisation d'énergies gratuites, ce qui est possible grâce à des températures de fonctionnement proches de la température ambiante.It allows a significant saving of energy thanks to the use of free energies, which is possible thanks to operating temperatures close to room temperature.
Elle permet en outre de minimiser les pertes d'énergie dans des echangeurs puisque le fluide est envoyé directement dans les éléments radiants.It also makes it possible to minimize energy losses in exchangers since the fluid is sent directly to the radiant elements.
Ces buts, ainsi que d'autres, sont atteints par un dispositif tel que défini en préambule et caractérisé en ce que ladite paroi verticale comporte au moins un tube continu pourvu d'une entrée et d'une sortie, et en ce que ladite sortie est reliée à un conduit d'évacuation connecté à ladite entrée par une pompe et des moyens de modification de la température du fluide.These aims, as well as others, are achieved by a device as defined in the preamble and characterized in that said vertical wall comprises at least one continuous tube provided with an inlet and an outlet, and in that said outlet is connected to a discharge pipe connected to said inlet by a pump and means for modifying the temperature of the fluid.
Ces buts sont également atteints par un procédé de climatisation tel que défini en préambule et caractérisé en ce que l'on fait couler dans ledit tube, du fluide ayant une température définie, réglée par des moyens de modi- fication de la température du fluide, ladite température définie étant choisie en fonction de la température souhaitée dans l'habitation.These aims are also achieved by an air conditioning process as defined in the preamble and characterized in that fluid having a defined temperature is poured into said tube, adjusted by means of modifying the temperature of the fluid, said defined temperature being chosen as a function of the desired temperature in the dwelling.
La présente invention et ses avantages seront mieux compris en référence à la description de modes de réalisation non limitatifs et aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The present invention and its advantages will be better understood with reference to the description of nonlimiting embodiments and to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique de face du dispositif selon la présente invention ;- Figure 1 is a schematic front view of the device according to the present invention;
- la figure 2A est une vue en coupe d'un premier mode de réalisation d'un élément de la figure 1 , etFIG. 2A is a sectional view of a first embodiment of an element of FIG. 1, and
- la figure 2B est une vue en coupe d'un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un élément de la figure 1.- Figure 2B is a sectional view of a second embodiment of an element of Figure 1.
En référence à ces figures, le dispositif de climatisation 10 selon la présente invention comporte une ou plusieurs parois verticales rigides 11 réalisées en un matériau coulé, par exemple en béton ou en béton semi-isolant. Ces parois forment les cloisons intérieures et/ou extérieures d'une habitation. Dans le cas où la paroi est une cloison extérieure, elle se compose généralement de deux éléments plans 12, 13 en béton, séparés par une couche d'un matériau isolant 14, comme cela est illustré en détail par la figure 2A. Dans le cas où la paroi est uniquement une cloison intérieure, elle peut être formée d'un seul élément en béton, sans isolation. En utilisant un matériau semi-isolant, il est également possible de réaliser une cloison extérieure formée d'une seule couche 15 sans isolation. Ce mode de réalisation est en particulier illustré par la figure 2B.With reference to these figures, the air conditioning device 10 according to the present invention comprises one or more rigid vertical walls 11 made in a cast material, for example concrete or semi-insulating concrete. These walls form the interior and / or exterior partitions of a dwelling. In the case where the wall is an external partition, it generally consists of two planar elements 12, 13 of concrete, separated by a layer of insulating material 14, as illustrated in detail in FIG. 2A. In the case where the wall is only an interior partition, it can be formed of a single concrete element, without insulation. By using a semi-insulating material, it is also possible to produce an external partition formed from a single layer 15 without insulation. This embodiment is in particular illustrated in FIG. 2B.
Le dispositif de climatisation comporte au moins un tube 16 continu noyé dans chaque paroi, ce tube comportant une entrée 17 et une sortie 18 et étant agencé pour permettre la circulation d'un fluide de climatisation tel que de l'eau ou un fluide contenant du glycol. Lorsque la paroi est formée de deux éléments plans comme cela est illustré par la figure 2A, le tube 15 est placé dans l'élément plan disposé à l'intérieur de l'habitation. Pour que la répartition de la chaleur soit optimale, le tube est disposé dans un plan coplanaire à la paroi, le plan passant par le milieu du tube étant situé dans la moitié côté isolation de l'élément 13.The air conditioning device comprises at least one continuous tube 16 embedded in each wall, this tube comprising an inlet 17 and an outlet 18 and being arranged to allow the circulation of an air conditioning fluid such as water or a fluid containing glycol. When the wall is formed of two planar elements as illustrated in FIG. 2A, the tube 15 is placed in the planar element arranged inside the dwelling. In order for the heat to be distributed optimally, the tube is placed in a plane coplanar with the wall, the plane passing through the middle of the tube being located in the insulation side half of the element 13.
Lorsque la paroi est formée d'un seul élément, comme cela est illustré par la figure 2B, le plan contenant le milieu du tube 16 est placé entre le quart et la moitié de l'épaisseur de la paroi, du côté intérieur de l'habitation. La circu- lation de fluide est induite au moyen d'une pompe 19 disposée par exemple à proximité de l'entrée 17. Le dispositif comporte également des moyens 20 de modification de la température du fluide de climatisation, et plus particulièrement des moyens de chauffage 21 et des moyens de refroidissement 22 du fluide.When the wall is formed of a single element, as illustrated by FIG. 2B, the plane containing the middle of the tube 16 is placed between a quarter and a half of the thickness of the wall, on the inside of the dwelling. The circulation of fluid is induced by means of a pump 19 arranged for example near the inlet 17. The device also includes means 20 for modifying the temperature of the air conditioning fluid, and more particularly heating means 21 and means 22 for cooling the fluid.
Les moyens de chauffage 21 sont composés d'une chaudière 23 conventionnelle dans laquelle le fluide peut être chauffé par exemple au moyen d'un serpentin électrique. Il est clair que n'importe quel autre moyen pour chauffer de l'eau peut également convenir. En particulier, il est possible d'utiliser de l'énergie électrique provenant d'un élément solaire ou d'utiliser un fluide chauffé par circulation dans un élément solaire 24 tel qu'illustré par la figure 1.The heating means 21 are composed of a conventional boiler 23 in which the fluid can be heated for example by means of a electric coil. It is clear that any other means of heating water may also be suitable. In particular, it is possible to use electrical energy from a solar element or to use a fluid heated by circulation in a solar element 24 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
Les moyens de refroidissement 22 peuvent par exemple simplement être constitués d'un tube 25 enterré à une profondeur suffisamment grande pour que la température du sol reste relativement faible quelle que soit la tempé- rature extérieure. Le tube pourrait également passer dans une nappe phréatique ou dans un ruisseau. Les moyens de refroidissement pourraient toutefois également comporter une machine génératrice de froid.The cooling means 22 can for example simply consist of a tube 25 buried at a depth large enough for the temperature of the soil to remain relatively low whatever the outside temperature. The tube could also pass into a water table or into a stream. The cooling means could however also include a cold generating machine.
Le dispositif peut également comporter une source de fluide 26 permettant d'ajouter ou de retirer de l'eau ou un autre fluide du tube.The device may also include a source of fluid 26 making it possible to add or remove water or another fluid from the tube.
Le dispositif de climatisation peut en outre comporter une sonde de température 27 placée dans une pièce de l'habitation et destinée à mesurer la température réelle de l'air dans cette pièce. Cette sonde 27 est connectée à un organe de commande 28 dont la fonction est décrite ci-dessous.The air conditioning device may also include a temperature sensor 27 placed in a room of the house and intended to measure the actual temperature of the air in this room. This probe 27 is connected to a control member 28 whose function is described below.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, le dispositif comporte une sonde de température 29 placée dans un conduit d'évacuation 30 relié à la sortie 18 et destinée à mesurer la température du fluide après avoir circulé dans la paroi 11. Selon la température mesurée par cette sonde, on libère ou on retire des calories de façon à amener le fluide à la température voulue.According to a preferred embodiment, the device comprises a temperature probe 29 placed in a discharge duct 30 connected to the outlet 18 and intended to measure the temperature of the fluid after having circulated in the wall 11. According to the temperature measured by this probe, calories are released or removed so as to bring the fluid to the desired temperature.
La sortie 18 du tube est reliée au conduit d'évacuation 30 et est connectée, par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne 31 , aux moyens de refroidissement 22, par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne 32, à la chaudière 23 et, par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne 33, à l'élément solaire 24. De manière similaire, l'entrée 17 est connectée, par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne 34, aux moyens de refroidissement 22, par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne 35, à la chaudière 23 et, par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne 36, à l'élément solaire 24.The outlet 18 of the tube is connected to the discharge conduit 30 and is connected, by means of a valve 31, to the cooling means 22, by means of a valve 32, to the boiler 23 and, by via a valve 33, to the solar element 24. Similarly, the inlet 17 is connected, via a valve 34, to the cooling means 22, via a valve 35, to the boiler 23 and, via a valve 36, to the solar element 24.
Le dispositif comporte en outre une mémoire 37 permettant de mémoriser une ou plusieurs températures de consignes, qui peuvent varier en fonction des heures de la journée ou des jours de la semaine, et un récepteur de signaux 38. Ce récepteur peut être un récepteur téléphonique tel qu'un modulateur démodulateur, ou un récepteur radio agencé pour capter des informations relatives aux prévisions météorologiques pour la région où ce dispositif est placé.The device further comprises a memory 37 making it possible to store one or more setpoint temperatures, which can vary depending on the hours of the day or the days of the week, and a signal receiver 38. This receiver can be a telephone receiver such as than a demodulator modulator, or a radio receiver arranged to receive information relating to weather forecasts for the region where this device is placed.
Le procédé selon la présente invention fonctionne de la façon suivante.The method according to the present invention operates as follows.
Une température définie est introduite dans la mémoire 37 liée à l'organe de commande 28. Cette température est la température souhaitée dans la pièce et est appelée température de consigne. Cette température de consigne correspond également à la température du fluide dans le conduit d'évacuation 30, au niveau de la sonde 29.A defined temperature is introduced into the memory 37 linked to the control member 28. This temperature is the desired temperature in the room and is called the set temperature. This set temperature also corresponds to the temperature of the fluid in the evacuation duct 30, at the level of the probe 29.
La sonde 29 mesure la température réelle du fluide dans ce conduit d'évacuation. Si cette température réelle est inférieure à la consigne, l'organe de commande 28 place les vannes 32, 33, 35 et 36 de telle façon que la sortie 18 et l'entrée 17 du tube communiquent par l'intermédiaire des moyens de chauffage 21. L'organe de commande donne la priorité aux énergies bon marché, ce qui signifie que si le fluide chauffé par l'élément solaire 24 est à une température supérieure à la valeur de consigne, les vannes 33 et 36 seront maintenues ouvertes, les autres vannes étant maintenues fermées.The probe 29 measures the actual temperature of the fluid in this evacuation duct. If this actual temperature is lower than the setpoint, the control member 28 places the valves 32, 33, 35 and 36 in such a way that the outlet 18 and the inlet 17 of the tube communicate via the heating means 21 The controller gives priority to inexpensive energies, which means that if the fluid heated by the solar element 24 is at a temperature above the set value, the valves 33 and 36 will be kept open, the others valves being kept closed.
Si le fluide de l'élément solaire 24 est à une température inférieure à la consigne, les vannes 33 et 36 sont fermées, alors que les vannes 32 et 35 sont ouvertes. Ceci permet d'utiliser au mieux, l'énergie solaire bon marché.If the fluid of the solar element 24 is at a temperature below the setpoint, the valves 33 and 36 are closed, while the valves 32 and 35 are open. This allows the best use of cheap solar energy.
Le fluide chauffé est mis en circulation au moyen de la pompe 19. Ce fluide chauffe les parois 11 de l'habitation et augmente ainsi la température de la pièce. Comme une surface importante des parois est chauffée, la température de la pièce est presque uniforme.The heated fluid is circulated by means of the pump 19. This fluid heats the walls 11 of the house and thus increases the temperature of the room. As a large area of the walls is heated, the room temperature is almost uniform.
Lorsque la température mesurée par la sonde 29 est égale à la consigne, la circulation d'eau peut être arrêtée en arrêtant la pompe 19.When the temperature measured by the probe 29 is equal to the setpoint, the circulation of water can be stopped by stopping the pump 19.
Lorsque le dispositif est utilisé pour le refroidissement, c'est-à-dire lorsque la sonde 29 mesure une température supérieure à la consigne, l'organe de commande 28 ouvre les vannes 31 et 34 de façon à mettre en communication l'entrée 17 et la sortie 18 du tube par l'intermédiaire des moyens de refroidis- sèment 22. La pompe est actionnée pour faire circuler le fluide froid dans le tube.When the device is used for cooling, that is to say when the probe 29 measures a temperature above the setpoint, the control member 28 opens the valves 31 and 34 so as to put the input 17 into communication. and the outlet 18 from the tube via the cooling means 22. The pump is actuated to circulate the cold fluid in the tube.
Grâce au récepteur de signaux 38, il est possible de recevoir des informations relatives aux prévisions météorologiques. De cette manière, en fonction de ces prévisions, il est par exemple possible de déterminer s'il est utile de chauffer le fluide par la chaudière ou s'il vaut mieux attendre un certain temps de façon à pouvoir utiliser l'élément solaire. Ces informations météorologiques peuvent être utilisée automatiquement par l'organe de commande de façon à gérer au mieux les dépenses d'énergie. Elles peuvent également être utilisées par les personnes chargées de régler la température de l'habitation, la commutation des vannes étant alors réalisée manuellement par ces personnes. L'organe de commande peut également être programmé manuellement à partir de ces informations météorologiques, pour commuter automatiquement les vannes à une heure prédéfinie. Ceci permet d'utiliser au mieux les énergies bon marché. Ce dispositif et ce procédé présentent un certain nombre d'avantages par rapport aux dispositifs et aux procédés de climatisation connus. Comme toutes les parois côtés façades et certaines séparations d'une pièce comportent des tubes permettant la climatisation, la répartition de la chaleur dans la pièce est optimale. Ceci donne un grand confort aux personnes dans la pièce.Thanks to the signal receiver 38, it is possible to receive information relating to weather forecasts. In this way, according to these forecasts, it is for example possible to determine whether it is useful to heat the fluid by the boiler or whether it is better to wait a certain time so that the solar element can be used. This meteorological information can be used automatically by the controller in order to best manage energy expenditure. They can also be used by the persons responsible for regulating the temperature of the dwelling, the switching of the valves then being carried out manually by these persons. The control unit can also be programmed manually from this meteorological information, to automatically switch the valves at a predefined time. This allows the best use of cheap energies. This device and this method have a certain number of advantages over known air conditioning devices and methods. As all the walls on the facade sides and certain partitions of a room have tubes for air conditioning, the distribution of heat in the room is optimal. This gives great comfort to the people in the room.
Comme la surface chauffante est particulièrement grande par rapport aux surfaces chauffantes des systèmes conventionnels, il n'est pas nécessaire que la température de la source chauffante soit très élevée. Ainsi, il est parfaitement possible d'utiliser un fluide ayant une température comprise entre 12°C et 28°C ou même entre 18° et 24°C pour une bonne régulation aussi bien pour refroidir que pour chauffer une pièce. Comme ces températures sont proches des températures ambiantes, il n'est pas nécessaire d'isoler les tubes dans lesquels l'eau circule. Ainsi, les pertes énergétiques restent relativement faibles. De plus, comme le fluide de refroidissement ne descend pas à une température trop basse, il n'y a pas de risque de condensation de l'humidité de l'air sur les parois contenant le tube.As the heating surface is particularly large compared to the heating surfaces of conventional systems, the temperature of the heating source does not have to be very high. Thus, it is perfectly possible to use a fluid having a temperature between 12 ° C and 28 ° C or even between 18 ° and 24 ° C for good regulation both to cool and to heat a room. As these temperatures are close to ambient temperatures, it is not necessary to isolate the tubes in which the water circulates. Thus, energy losses remain relatively low. In addition, since the coolant does not drop to a too low temperature, there is no risk of condensation of the air humidity on the walls containing the tube.
En outre, avec une température du fluide ne dépassant pas 28°C, il est très fréquent de pouvoir utiliser l'élément solaire même en hiver.In addition, with a fluid temperature not exceeding 28 ° C, it is very common to be able to use the solar element even in winter.
Il est également aisé d'utiliser de l'énergie solaire passive à travers un vitrage de la pièce pour chauffer au moins partiellement l'eau et distribuer cette chaleur dans toute la pièce. Ceci permet d'équilibrer les températures entre le nord et le sud. Il n'est alors pas nécessaire d'ouvrir les fenêtres au sud pour évacuer le surplus de chaleur. Cette chaleur est distribuée du côté nord.It is also easy to use passive solar energy through glazing in the room to at least partially heat the water and distribute this heat throughout the room. This helps to balance the temperatures between north and south. It is therefore not necessary to open the windows to the south to evacuate the excess heat. This heat is distributed on the north side.
De même, comme le fluide de refroidissement ne descend par à une tempé- rature inférieure à 12°C, il est possible d'utiliser un refroidissement par le sol ou par la nappe phréatique. Ceci donne donc une climatisation à un coût particulièrement bas. Comme les tubes de chauffage sont entourés d'une quantité importante de béton, l'inertie thermique est particulièrement bonne. Ainsi, il n'y a pas de variation brusque de température, ce qui entraîne une sensation d' inconfort, engendre des pertes d'énergie et complique la régulation. Grâce à cette inertie thermique, il est également possible de chauffer les parois pendant les périodes de la nuit où l'énergie est à un coût moindre et de laisser ces parois rayonner pendant la journée, lorsque le coût de l'énergie est élevé.Likewise, since the coolant does not drop to a temperature below 12 ° C, it is possible to use cooling by the ground or by the water table. This therefore gives air conditioning at a particularly low cost. As the heating tubes are surrounded by a large quantity of concrete, the thermal inertia is particularly good. Thus, there is no sudden change in temperature, which causes a feeling of discomfort, generates energy losses and complicates regulation. Thanks to this thermal inertia, it is also possible to heat the walls during periods of the night when energy is at a lower cost and to let these walls radiate during the day, when the cost of energy is high.
La position du tube dans la paroi permet une bonne répartition de la chaleur dans toute la paroi, tout en évitant une surchauffe due à l'énergie solaire passive, qui se produirait si le tube était trop proche de la surface de la paroi disposée vers l'intérieur de l'habitation.The position of the tube in the wall allows a good distribution of heat throughout the wall, while avoiding overheating due to passive solar energy, which would occur if the tube was too close to the surface of the wall arranged towards the interior of the house.
Ce dispositif de climatisation peut être réalisé à partir d'éléments préfabriqués ou être montés lors de la construction d'un immeuble. Le coût supplémentaire des matériaux par rapport à une construction classique est pratiquement négligeable. L'augmentation du coût pour la fabrication d'éléments préfabriqués ou le montage sur place est également pratiquement nul.This air conditioning device can be made from prefabricated elements or be mounted during the construction of a building. The additional cost of materials compared to conventional construction is practically negligible. The increase in cost for manufacturing prefabricated elements or mounting on site is also practically nil.
Ce dispositif permet donc d'obtenir une climatisation de très bonne qualité à un prix particulièrement bon marché. Il peut en particulier être utilisé dans toute construction nécessitant une climatisation, telle qu'un hangar de stockage par exemple. This device therefore makes it possible to obtain very good quality air conditioning at a particularly inexpensive price. It can in particular be used in any construction requiring air conditioning, such as a storage shed for example.
