The difference in electricity rates between the 2-peak and off-peak hours is usually quite considerable. It has led to large: economically efficient systems that can operate at lower rates. In this field, an example of this system is a heat storage system. The heat storage system 15 can start cold during off-peak hours; the east equipment makes ice, and then releases Φ at the peak Φ * stored ice to meet cooling Demand—whether in whole or in part. It can also significantly reduce time-related energy costs, such as electricity costs and energy costs during peak periods, which is a major motivation for using thermal storage systems. In the case of ice making, which can be used for cooling in summer or warmer climates, the idea of using heat storage to save costs can also be implemented in cooler climates or seasons using warm air. Hot water can be stored in the melting potential of water (ice) or other phase-changeable materials such as hydrated salts. As far as ice storage is concerned, individual ice makers must be installed, but they typically have lower energy consumption than those used for air conditioning purposes. 200540377 ^ As far as phase change materials are concerned, traditional air conditioner coolers can still be used. The end result is better energy efficiency. Or ^ 'Water can be used as a storage medium without having to make it undergo a phase change. The energy system of the cooling water towel is directly _ the volume of water in the storage tank 5 2 times the temperature difference between the flow and the water flowing out of the system _. This = The technology applied to the cooling water storage tank is based on a container or tank that separates cold and warm water from the knife °. It can also be achieved by-warm water in the upper part of the water tank and the bottom of the water tank. (The cold is typically 6 ° C) will be introduced into the cooling water circuit to carry out the desired pure water ΤΓ7 ° 12 ° 〇 The cold warmed water that is returned to the remaining inventory can be used by electricity or solar heaters or by waste heat In essence, this technology incorporates Γ into the system to warm up the incoming cold air. In this traditional operation, the temperature difference in the system is limited to-about the thief and the return pipe will be 15. ~ The cooler will cool the water in the storage tank to the cavity, and in addition, it will be cooled back to the storage tank. Being installed outdoors or the system will have a large capacity. Therefore, many storage tanks will be 20 tank types and should be built. The space and space required for the thermal storage system is a function of the structure and location of storage constraints that often make: The building or site changes beyond the thermal system. Architectural or structural considerations sometimes exceed the functional benefits of =. This kind of demand, that is, there is obviously a 1% change for lice, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Transforming energy demand to use off-peak electricity costs to reduce -200540377 operating costs, without the need to install new storage tanks and expensive ice-making equipment or use Phase change material. In addition, using existing storage tanks to achieve this change in demand without having to install additional structures is also desirable to further reduce costs. It is known in this technology that the working temperature difference or range of these methods is typically only 10 ° C, and storage media or water of different temperatures are usually kept separate in the conventional technology.

In the following description, details will be provided to illustrate the preferred embodiment. However, those skilled in the art 10 should easily know that the present invention can be implemented without such details. Some things should not be explained too much to avoid obscuring the invention. Modern buildings are designed to be equipped with various services, and the owner is required to store the water storage body separately for each service. For the sake of fire safety considerations, 15 buildings need to be equipped with water-based fire protection systems, such as automatic sprinkler systems and systems. In these systems, a predetermined amount of water must be stored in Lun: 俾, and when a fire is started, it can be suppressed and / or suppressed. Under positive conditions, the water in such reservoirs will never be used. The present invention is to reduce the operating cost of an HVAC line by using a heat storage body that has never been developed. 4 known technology, the present invention does not use betz ice or other heat storage media such as phase change materials in the preferred embodiment. The present invention relates to the use of cooled or warm water in a closed-k system. Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in terms of cooling a building, professionals of the AC system should understand that the present invention can also be easily applied to 200540377 to save the energy cost of heating the interior space of the building. The preferred embodiment of the invention may have many advantages. The advantage of these preferred embodiments is that non-intrusive use of healthy water bodies (water accumulators) stored in a building intended for purposes other than air conditioning systems can be used as a storage medium. The fifth-class water reservoir may contain, but is not limited to, water Γ stored for fire protection and / or water for recreational use, such as in a swimming pool. This will reduce (but not completely eliminate) the cost of constructing a trough for the storage of cooling water. Another advantage is that these strategies and technologies will guarantee the integrity of these water bodies' without prejudice to their original intended use. 10 The energy storage capacity of the & point system water can be increased to beyond the general-accessible monthly working conditions. This involves extending the working range of the cooling water beyond the typical 10 ° C temperature difference (At). Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of connecting these water storage bodies to the HVAC system. The water in the storage medium will be isolated and will not be connected and flow into the application 15: the mouth of the " but any part of the water circuit. Instead, its heat transfer V is achieved using a suitable heat exchanger ⑷ between the heat medium ⑴ and the cooling water circuit. By using these existing water storage bodies, the cost of constructing the added water storage system, especially for heat storage, can be greatly reduced. In the present invention, the temperature of the water in the heat storage body will change, and the leech 20 will be used to reduce the load of the air conditioning system. When charging this type of fork, the configuration of the circuit can allow a cooler (2 艾 or another Ai / melon device such as a heater to recharge or change the temperature of the storage medium ⑴ to meet the load. Or, Other special coolers (201) are used to separately fill the water storage body (Figure 2). This can be performed at night when the electricity cost is lower than 200540377, which can save the user a considerable cost. Can release the stored thermal energy in a single- or two-stage The first-stage energy release is the same as the conventional technology, that is, using the stored heat capacity to cool the heat capacity usually within 10 ° C temperature difference (At); ^ Know 7 5 10 15 ▽ can be loaded. However, unlike the conventional technology, the heat storage medium will not enter into the circuit, and 0 will be completed indirectly through the heat exchanger (4). ^ At the second stage, the other aspect of the present invention is to extend the temperature difference of the heat storage medium beyond the range of 10 ° C. The present invention is to use one or two stages of the heat storage body (1) Release the energy to implement. In both cases, the water heating medium invented will be in-封 __ 料 \ 不^ Water-like heat mixing of air conditioning system towels. Heat exchange will be performed by the heat exchanger (4). The method of the present invention can preserve the integrity of the heat storage body, which is newer and more current than the methods in this technology. The cooling responsibility will be carried out by two sets of heat exchangers (22), eight and (16)] 6 (Figure 1). The heat exchanger B is a -pre-cooling device, which can reduce heat exchange ^ (22) A. In the example, ㈣ consider the ventilation component of the cooling load. Fresh air is typically injected into a building to meet the ventilation needs of internal staff = when fresh air is sent into a building The heat exchanger (16) B can be used for pre-cooling or adjustment at the entrance. This will reduce the load of the heat exchanger eight (22). Therefore, the present invention can reduce the load of the air conditioning system. In phase I ( (Figure 6), the water in the heat storage body will be guided down to the heat exchanger (2 2) extending the return section of the cooling water circuit. Therefore, the responsibility of the cooler can be reduced by the water tank. Release of stored energy and partial shift: 20 200540377 5 10 = The cooler will sense the returning cooling water The temperature is lower. Because the cooling = is programmed to react to this, it will reduce energy operation or even suspend temporarily to save energy. When the temperature of the water in the heat storage tank falls between 5 to 15 f normal working range, this will be effective. When it exceeds this range, 'the heat storage body will not directly affect the operation of the coolers. A In the second stage, the cooling water work The range will be extended. Because the temperature of the water in the Bedin heater is now higher than 15t, it is no longer suitable for cooling large loads in the main cooling water circuit. However, this is different from conventional methods. It is important to note that this higher-than-listening water is still useful in the present invention, because in the second stage of cooling, the selected structure in the cooling load can still be pre-cooled, and the second stage of cooling is borrowed. Valves (13, 15), etc. were formed—closed loops opened with the main, but Shuitan Road (Figure 7). This can be done manually (based on the daytime temperature readings of the annual season). However, the best method is to use a conventional electromechanical device. When the water reaches a selected temperature such as 15 ° C, the valves will operate automatically. This second cooling water circuit will be fed into a heat exchanger (16) to regulate or pre-cool the selected part of the cooling load. In this example, the incoming fresh air will be pre-cooled by the heat exchanger (16), which will then feed water in a 20 closed loop. The remaining heat capacity of the water in the storage tank is still suitable for the pre-cooling function, so it will be raised to a higher temperature again. During the two-stage energy release process, the (water) temperature in the reservoir can be increased from the low temperature such as the ambient temperature to the ambient temperature. Therefore, the temperature difference can be extended to the typical 1Gt range by this novel and advanced method. 12 200540377 The advantage of the present invention is that it can provide non-intrusive use of water reservoirs or accumulators in the building 'the water reservoir or accumulator was not intended to be used as a part of an air-conditioning system' and may require relevant Prescribed permission check. Provided that the full performance of the water is preserved, these inspections will pass and 5 allow the non-invasive use of the water storage body as a heat storage medium. In the case of non-intrusive use of fire-prevention reserve water, fire safety cannot be compromised, and the water provided for it must be immediately available in an emergency. In view of this advantage, the present invention also provides strategies and techniques for maintaining the integrity of such water reservoirs in emergency situations. Examples of so-called emergencies include a fire disaster, a drop in temperature to freezing point, or a reduction in the capacity of the sink. When a tight fish shape occurs, the operation of the pump (3) and / or the heat exchanger (4) will be shut off and suspended by the electromechanical device connected to the sensor. And, the opened valve (6) can be closed by electromechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic devices. These measures will stop the operation of the circuit and conserve the amount of water in the heat storage tank. The amount of water in the tank can be used for its original purpose, such as supply to a fire sprinkler system. If the user chooses not to use an electromechanical or electronic sensor, the method of the present invention for preserving the integrity and volume of water in the heat storage body may be to install a pump (3) for the water storage sample to pump the water up ( (Figure 3). When the amount of water in the storage tank is mechanically detected to decrease, the method of the present invention will cause the pump to lose its ability to pump water and stop its operation. Brother 3 shows that there is a water tank connected by a company. This system (3) is set because it needs to pump water, and it will operate to circulate water from one tank to another, but it will not reduce the amount of water. A branch pipe (8) will be provided along the suction pipe (2). The diameter of this bifurcated pipe 13 200540377 is significantly smaller than the pumping f, and is connected to _ Shuiguan below the one-way _. This check valve is sometimes referred to as a check valve or foot valve. This bifurcated suction pipe ⑻ should be set exactly at the normal water level. The 5 position of this pipe is very important 'and will be set to a small size' so that the water flow through it is very small compared to the large suction pipe (2).

Or multiple slots. If the water system is stored in a single tank or in one of the compartments of a tank and 10 is not connected to other compartments, the layout of the road is shown in Figure 4. Similarly, the pump ⑶ is also set to need to pump water up. The leech is reached to a heat-crossing wire (4) for charging or releasing energy of the heat storage body. The water supply pipe ⑶ will be set in the same tank, so that the circulation of water can be optimally achieved. A bifurcated pipe 形成 will be formed along the pumping pipe 用以 to detect a substantial reduction in volume of 15 内 in the tank. Because maintaining the volume is very important, some explanations must be made about the volume of the temple, because it is necessary to set up one of the elements of the present invention, the branch suction pipe. … Wait for the original system to be stored into a quantifiable volume of water for use as a non-two-tone system. When this minimum amount of water is present—the stable, the water level is called the normal water level. If the ^ water tank only has the required amount of water, its actual water level will be equal; For the purpose of the present invention, it is necessary to increase the amount of water to the level of the overflow pipe ^. Therefore, the bifurcated suction pipe will be immersed just below the water surface. right. When the black water is broken into a larger size, it will be able to store more water, so its water level will exceed this normal level. When the bifurcated suction pipe is set at the normal water level, it will be submerged just below the water surface. The diameter of the bifurcated suction pipe (8) is set so that the water flow therethrough is very low without forming a vortex. However, when the water level drops, the bifurcated pumping head will be exposed to the air. This will draw air into the suction pipe and cause the pump to lose its pumping function.
