4、 System composition
1. Solar collection part: It consists of 986 square meters of Megaray flat panel solar collectors, which are arranged and installed reasonably according to the actual layout of the school building roof to ensure sufficient reception of sunlight. The collector is connected through pipelines to form a heat collection network, which converts the absorbed solar energy into thermal energy and heats the heat transfer medium inside the pipeline.
2. Hot water storage section: Equipped with a large capacity stainless steel insulated water tank for storing heated hot water to meet the demand during peak water usage periods. The water tank is made of high-quality stainless steel material, which is corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant; Has good insulation performance and reduces heat loss. The water tank is equipped with a water level control system and a temperature monitoring system to real-time monitor the water level and temperature inside the tank.
3. Circulating system: including circulating water pump and circulating pipeline. The circulating water pump is responsible for transporting the water in the water tank to the solar collector for heating, and then returning the heated hot water to the water tank to form circulating heating, ensuring uniform water temperature in the water tank. High quality pipes are selected for the circulation pipeline to ensure smooth hot water circulation and reduce energy loss.
4. Control system: Adopting an intelligent control system, it can achieve automated operation. It can automatically control the start and stop of the circulating water pump, switch between the solar collector and auxiliary heating equipment based on parameters such as water temperature and water level. Equipped with fault diagnosis and alarm functions, it monitors the system's operating status in real time. Once a fault is detected, it promptly issues an alarm and displays fault information, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly troubleshoot and repair.
5. Auxiliary heating part: Considering the decrease in solar energy collection efficiency during rainy weather or insufficient sunlight, auxiliary heating equipment such as air source heat pumps should be configured. When solar energy cannot meet the demand for hot water, the auxiliary heating equipment automatically starts to supplement and heat the hot water, ensuring a stable supply of hot water 24 hours a day.
5、 System operation process
1. Daily operation: When there is
sufficient sunlight, the solar collector absorbs solar energy and heats
up the heat transfer medium inside the pipeline. The circulating water
pump is started to transport the low-temperature water in the water tank
to the collector, and the heated high-temperature water flows back to
the water tank for storage. When the water temperature in the water tank
reaches the set upper limit, the circulating water pump automatically
stops; When the water temperature drops to the set lower limit, the
circulating water pump starts again to maintain the water temperature in
the water tank within the appropriate range.
2. Water usage
process: Teachers and students turn on hot water faucets in dormitories,
bathrooms, and other places. The hot water in the water tank is
transported to the water point through the water supply pipeline for use
by teachers and students. The water supply pipeline adopts a reasonable
diameter and layout to ensure stable hot water supply pressure and
sufficient water flow.
3. Auxiliary heating start: When encountering
continuous rainy weather or severe lack of light, and the water
temperature in the water tank cannot reach the set operating
temperature, the control system automatically starts the auxiliary
heating equipment to heat the hot water in the water tank until the
water temperature meets the requirements.
4. Night operation: If
there is no sunlight at night, and the hot water storage and temperature
in the water tank meet the demand for use the next morning, the system
will be in insulation standby mode; If the water temperature drops
significantly or the hot water storage is insufficient, the auxiliary
heating equipment will automatically start for heating to ensure
sufficient hot water supply in the morning.
6、 Installation and maintenance
1.
Installation: Construction is carried out by a professional
installation team, strictly following the design plan and relevant
installation specifications. At installation locations such as school
roofs, ensure proper foundation fixation to ensure that the collector is
securely and stably installed; Reasonably lay pipelines, ensure tight
and leak free connections, and take insulation and protective measures
for pipelines; Correctly wiring and debugging electrical equipment such
as control systems to ensure the overall normal operation of the system.
After installation, comprehensive debugging and testing will be carried
out, including heat collection efficiency testing, water temperature
and level monitoring, circulation system operation testing, auxiliary
heating equipment testing, etc., to ensure that all indicators meet the
design requirements.
2. Maintenance: Establish a comprehensive
maintenance system and regularly inspect and maintain the hot water
engineering system.
-Daily maintenance: Conduct daily inspections of
the system's operation status to check for any water leakage, electric
leakage, abnormal equipment noise, etc; Check if the water temperature
and level display are normal, and if the control system operates
sensitively.
-Regular maintenance: Clean the surface of the
collector monthly to remove dust and debris, ensuring efficient heat
collection; Check the operation status of pipelines, valves, water pumps
and other equipment every quarter, and carry out necessary maintenance
and repair, such as adding lubricating oil to water pumps and replacing
vulnerable parts; Every year, the entire system is comprehensively
inspected and maintained, including cleaning the water tank, checking
the insulation performance, and conducting performance testing and
maintenance on auxiliary heating equipment.
