Abstract
An environment heating and cooling system comprising a solar collector, heat storage ground well, cold storage ground well and a heat exchange apparatus. Water from a cold storage ground well is heated in the heat exchange apparatus by solar heating fluid heated in a solar collector. The heated water is stored in a heat storage ground well. Water from the heat storage ground well heats the ambient environment when the solar collector requires supplementation. Water from the cold storage ground well is used to cool the ambient environment. In addition, water from both ground wells serves ordinary household purposes as drinking, bathing and the like.
Claims27
A heat transfer system comprising:
- solar energy collector means having a first fluid to transfer heat energy, heat exchange apparatus receiving the first fluid from the collector means, an underground heat storage well, an underground cold storage well, first piping means connecting said solar collector means and heat exchange apparatus for conveyance of the first fluid between said collector means and heat exchange apparatus, second piping means connecting the heat storage well, cold storage well and heat exchange apparatus for conveyance of a second fluid between said wells and heat exchange apparatus, first pump means to circulate the first fluid in the first piping means between the solar energy means and heat exchange apparatus, and second pump means operable to circulate the second fluid in said piping means whereby heat energy in the first fluid is transferred to the second fluid, said heated second fluid being stored in the heat storage well.
A heat transfer system comprising:
- solar energy collector means having means to collect and transfer heat energy, a heat storage ground well, heat exchange means for receiving heat energy from the means to collect and transfer heat energy, means for storing a fluid comprising a second ground well, piping means connecting the second ground well, the heat exchange means and heat storage ground well, and means to move the fluid through the piping means from the second ground well to the heat exchange means and heat storage ground well whereby the heat energy in the heat exchange means from the solar collector means is transferred to the fluid and stored in the heat storage ground well.
A heat transfer system comprising:
- solar energy collector means having means to collect and transfer heat energy, a heat storage ground well, heat exchange means for receiving heat energy from the means to collect and transfer heat energy, means for storing a fluid, piping means connecting the means for storing a fluid, the heat exchange means and heat storage ground well, and means to move the fluid through the piping means from the means for storing the fluid to the heat exchange means and ground well whereby the solar energy in the heat exchange means from the solar collector means is transferred to the fluid and stored in the heat storage ground well, said means to move the fluid including a reversible pump whereby the fluid can be moved from the means for storing the fluid to the heat storage ground well and from the heat storage ground well to the means for storing a fluid.
A heat transfer system comprising:
- solar energy collector means having means to collect and transfer heat energy, a heat storage ground well, heat exchange means for receiving heat energy from the means to collect and transfer heat energy, means for storing a fluid, piping means connecting the means for storing a fluid, the heat exchange means and heat storage ground well, and means to move the fluid through the piping means from the means for storing the fluid to the heat exchange means and ground well whereby the solar energy in the heat exchange means from the solar collector means is transferred to the fluid and stored in the heat storage ground well, said heat exchange apparatus having a first section and a second section separated from the first section, means thermally insulating the first section, first heat transfer means located in the first section having first means for receiving the solar energy from the solar energy collector means and second means. for carrying the fluid whereby heat energy from the solar energy collector means is transferred to the fluid.
A heat transfer system comprising:
- solar energy collector means having means to collect and transfer heat energy to a fluid, an underground heat storage well, an underground cold storage well, piping means connecting said solar collector means and heat storage well and cold storage for conveying fluid between said solar energy collector means and said wells, and means to circulate the fluid between said solar energy collector means and said heat storage well and cold storage well whereby fluid heated by the solar collector means is stored in the heat storage well.
