- the present invention provides a unique and novel system for providing non- solar enabled fluid heating systems with solar heating functionality.
- like element numerals are used to indicate like elements appearing in one or more of the figures.
- the main idea of embodiments of the present solution is to have a combined heating system in which fluid flow to the user may be separated from the flow to the solar panel.
- embodiments described hereinbelow refer to simple boiler applications for heating water. It will be appreciated, however that other embodiments of the system may be applied to the heating of other fluids such as water based solutions, oils, fuels, gases and the like. Such fluids may be stored in various reservoirs such as boilers, swimming pools, storage tanks, chemical storage vats, fuel tanks, gas balloons and dewers.
- FIG. 1 representing a water heating system 100 which uses a solar panel in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention.
- the base system comprises a boiler 110 having a hot water line 113, and a cold water line 112; the system also comprises a cold water source 150 and water tap 160 for drawing hot water from the system as found in non- solar based systems.
- embodiments of the solar enabling heating system 100 further include a solar heater consisting of: a solar panel 170, a controller 120, a circulator pump 180, a flow switch 130 and a diverter valve 140. These features may enhance the water heating system 100 by providing solar heating functionality as described below.
- the solar panel 170 includes at least one panel-inlet 172 for introducing cold water and at least one panel-outlet 173 for delivering hot water to the boiler.
- the controller 120 typically includes a differential thermostat control configured to receive input from a temperature monitor 122.
- the temperature monitor 122 may include at least one panel monitor 174, for monitoring the water temperature in the solar panel and at least one boiler monitor 114, for monitoring the water temperature in the boiler.
- the temperature monitor may include a single sensor for monitoring the solar panel or the boiler.
- Various temperature monitors may be used for example thermometers, thermistors, temperature sensitive resistors, thermocouples and the like.
- a computerized "Virtual Thermostat" type HOT07C may be configured to monitor fluid temperatures in the system.
- the circulator pump 180 is configured and operable to urge water entering the pump 180 through pump-inlet 181 and exiting through pump-outlet 182.
- the circulator pump 180 may drive the circulation of water through the system.
- the flow switch 130 is provided for monitoring water flow through the system. Water is drawn through the flow switch 130 via a switch-inlet 131 to a switch- outlet 132. The flow switch 130 is configured to sense the water flowing through the system 100 when water is drawn from the system 100 through the water tap 160.
- the diverter valve 140 is a three way valve configured to direct water from valve-inlet 142 to either a first valve-outlet 141 or a second valve-outlet 143.
- the diverter valve 140 may provide a time delay of about 6 seconds or so as required.
- piping is provided to maintain fluid communication between the various components of the system 100 as outlined below:
- the cold-water line 112 of boiler 110 is connected via piping to the pump- inlet 181 , to the switch-outlet 132 and to the first valve-outlet 141.
- the hot-water line 113 of boiler 110 is connected via piping to the water tap 160 as well as to the second valve-outlet 143.
- the cold water source 150 is connected via piping to the switch-inlet 131.
- the pump-outlet 182 is connected via piping to the panel-inlet 172.
- the panel-outlet 173 is connected via piping to the valve-inlet 142.
- the controller 120 is configured to receive signals, typically from the flow switch 130 and the temperature monitor 122, and to control the circulator pump 180 and the diverter valve 140. Typically, electrical communication between these components is maintained via conducting wires. Alternatively, according to other embodiments, other communication protocols may be employed such as wireless communication, Bluetooth, WiFi, radio communication (RF) and the like.
- Operation of circulator pump 180 may be controlled by the controller 120 and typically depends on the relative water-temperatures of the solar panel 170 and the boiler 110. Accordingly, a differential thermostat control 120 may be configured to send control signals to the circulator pump 180. Usefully, control signals may be used to activate the circulator pump 180 only when the water- temperature in the solar panel 170 as measured by the panel monitor 174 is higher than the water-temperature in boiler 110 as measured by boiler monitor 114. It is noted that when the water-temperature in the solar panel 170 is equal to or lower than the water-temperature in the boiler 110, the circulator pump 180 may usefully be rendered inactive.
- Figure 2 represents the system 100 in a first configuration in which the water tap 160 is closed.
- Figure 3 represents the system 100 in a second configuration in which the water tap 160 is open.
- the system 100 of the first embodiment is shown in the first configuration.
- the tap 160 is closed so no water is drawn out of the system.
- hot water in the solar panel 170 may be driven into the boiler 110 by the pump 180.
- the system 100 is controlled such that water is only transferred into the boiler 110 when the panel water-temperature is higher than that of the boiler water-temperature.
- the flow switch 130 senses no water flow. This is communicated to the controller 120 which, following a suitable delay, for example a delay of 6 seconds, sets the diverter valve 140 to allow water to flow from the valve-inlet 142 to the second valve-outlet 143.
- An activation signal may also be communicated to the circulator pump 180.
- Water is then circulated through the panel 170, from the cold water line 112 of boiler 110 via the panel inlet 172.
- the cold water flowing through the panel 170 may be heated by solar energy.
- the hot water flowing out of the panel- outlet 173 flows via the diverter valve 140, back to the hot-water line 113 of boiler 110.
- the circulator pump 180 is typically activated only when the water-temperature in the solar panel 170 is higher than the water- temperature in the boiler 110.
- the controller 120 sets the diverter valve 140 to change the direction of water flow enabling flow from the valve inlet 142 to the first valve outlet 141. This prevents water from flowing from the solar panel 170 to the boiler 110. In this configuration water does not flow from the panel 170 to the boiler 110. Rather, if the circulator pump 180 is active water is circulated in a small loop through solar panel 170 and the diverter 140. This enables the boiler to operate independently from the solar panel for example when water is running through water tap 160. This brings the system 100 into the second configuration as presented in Figure 3.
- FIG. 3 represents the system 100 in the second configuration with the water tap 160 open.
- water is drawn into the system 100 from the source 150.
- the flow switch 130 senses the flow and the controller 120 sets the diverter 140 to direct water to the first valve-outlet 141 if it is not already in this state.
- water may be drawn from boiler 110 via the water tap 160 in a similar manner to the operation of a non-solar boiler. It is noted that, in contradistinction to prior art solutions, the temperature of the water running from the water tap 160 of the system 100 in the second configuration is stable.
- the system may be a closed system in which the liquid from the solar panel does not mix with the water in the boiler. It is noted that in a closed system additives material such as antifreeze liquid may be introduced into the liquid in the solar panel.
- the liquid may be an oil-based solution, a water-based solution or the like. Closed systems may use devices such as heat exchanger to transfer heat energy between the panel liquid and the boiler water.
- the closed solar water heating system 400 further includes a heat exchange unit 190 configured to transfer heat between two separate water (liquid) circulation loops each circulation loop being driven by a dedicated circulator pump 180, 195.
- the second circulator 195 is configured to drive hot liquid from the solar panel 170 to the heat exchange unit 190 and may therefore be configured to operate when the liquid temperature in the solar panel 170 is higher than that of the water temperature in the boiler 110.
- the operation of pump 195 may also be regulated by control 120 in the same manner as pump 180.
- a first heat exchange inlet 194 and a first heat exchange outlet 193 connect the heat exchange to a first water loop, which includes the water boiler 110.
- a second heat exchange inlet 191 and a second heat exchange outlet 192 connect the heat exchange to a second loop, which is a closed loop passing through the solar panel 170.
- the first loop is formed by piping connecting the pump-outlet 182 to the first heat exchange inlet 194 and piping connecting the first heat exchange outlet 193 to the valve inlet 142.
- the second loop is formed by piping connecting solar panel outlet 173 to the second heat exchange inlet 191 , piping connecting the second heat exchange outlet 192 to a pump-inlet 197 associated with the second circulator pump 195; and piping connecting a pump-outlet 196 of the second circulator pump 195 to the panel inlet 172.
- water heating systems 100 and 400 may provide a stream of hot water which has a steady homogeneous temperature when required. At other times, when water is not drawn from the system, the hot water may be collected in the boiler.
