为探讨日光温室蓄放热新途径,研究了钢管屋架管网水循环集放热系统,测试了该系统的集热与蓄放热状况。理论计算表明,在屋架间距为1 m,上、下弦杆件均为外径33.5 mm的圆管时,系统的太阳能截获率可达7%~8%。在室内地面面积为620 m2的日光温室中的冬季测试结果表明,容积为8.6 m3的蓄热水体白昼日平均蓄热温升4.7℃,平均蓄热量为149 MJ,蓄热流量为8 721 W;夜间水体日平均放热温降2.5℃,平均放热量为78.9 MJ,平均放热流量为5 974 W;与对照日光温室相比,平均提高夜间室内最低气温2.4℃。屋架集放热系统利用温室原有屋架作为集热与放热构件,不会妨碍室内的生产作业,同时成本低,运行管理简单,容易维护。
A water circulation system of pipe network formed by roof truss for heat collection and release was developed to enhance the indoor temperature at night in Chinese solar greenhouse. This low-cost solar-utilizing system was a pipe network formed by top and bottom booms of roof truss and water could flow in it. The pipe network was used as a solar heat collector in the daytime and a radiator in the evening. In the daytime, when the surfaces of pipes absorbed solar radiant heat and their temperature became higher, the heat could be collected by the flowing water in pipes and stored in an insulated tank. In the evening, when the indoor temperature of greenhouse became lower, the heat stored in the tank could be released into greenhouse by the flowing water in pipes. Theoretical calculation showed that the solar energy interception rate of the pipe network could reach 7%-8% when the spacing of roof trusses was 1 m, and the diameter of boom pipes was 33.5 mm, and that the water in tank could store the heat absorbed by pipe network for 2-3 d when the cubage of tank was 1.5-2.5 m3/100 m2(greenhouse floor area). A winter experiment was conducted in a solar greenhouse with the floor area of 620 m2 in Beijing. The pipe network consisted of 68 roof trusses with the spacing of 1 m, and both top and bottom booms were made of steel pipes with the inner diameter of 25.7 mm and the outer diameter of 33.5 mm. The effective cubage of the tank was 8.6 m3. When the system of pipe network was operating, the water in the tank would be pumped into the top booms and then flowed into the bottom booms, and finally it returned to the tank. The system would be operated for heat storage when the indoor temperature of greenhouse became over 20 ℃ in the daytime, and for heat release when the indoor temperature of greenhouse became below 10 ℃ in the evening. The results showed that the average rise in the temperature of the water in the tank was 4.7 ℃, the average thermal storage capacity was 149 MJ, and the average thermal storage flu
