Heat exchange system for the thermal regulation of a building
View Patent ↗Heat exchange system on a roof of a building, with an exchange volume comprising a substrate that is partly saturated by water and covered by a vegetated surface that enhances condensation and evapotranspiration and having a heat diffusion device comprising a circulation pump and a collection network for thermal exchanges with the exchange volume.
1 . A heat exchange system which enables the thermal regulation inside a building, comprising:
a horizontal external surface superimposed on or adjacent to the building,
an exchange volume arranged on the horizontal external surface, the exchange volume comprising an external surface in contact with the atmosphere,
a porous substrate in the exchange volume which enables water to be retained, wherein the external surface is a vegetated layer of muscoid plants, and
a plurality of collection networks in the exchange volume connected in parallel with each other by a distributor.
2 . The heat exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a non-saturated portion and a saturated portion which is subjacent to the non-saturated portion.
3 . The heat exchange system of claim 1 , having a heat diffusion device comprising a circulation pump.
4 . The heat exchange system of claim 3 , wherein the heat diffusion device is coupled to a heat pump and/or a heat exchanger.
5 . The heat exchange system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more sensors which enable one or more environmental parameters to be determined.
6 . The heat exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the exchange volume further comprises one or more damping zones which comprise deformable elements.
7 . The heat exchange system of claim 1 , further comprising a parapet which is arranged on the periphery of the exchange volume and whose height exceeds that of the exchange volume in order to contain it.
8 . The heat exchange system of claim 7 , wherein the parapet is fixed to the building from the external periphery thereof in order to be able to be readily replaced or repaired.
9 . A method of thermal regulation of a building with the external environment, wherein heat is exchanged via a heat exchange system, comprising:
a horizontal external surface superimposed on or adjacent to the building,
an exchange volume arranged on the horizontal external surface, the exchange volume comprising an external surface in contact with the atmosphere,
a porous substrate in the exchange volume which enables water to be retained, wherein the external surface is a vegetated layer of muscoid plants, and
a plurality of collection networks in the exchange volume connected in parallel with each other by a distributor.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the substrate comprises a non-saturated portion and a saturated portion which is subjacent to the non-saturated portion.
11 . The method of claim 9 , having a heat diffusion device comprising a circulation pump, the heat diffusion device being coupled to a heat pump and/or a heat exchanger.
12 . The method of claim 9 , comprising reading one or more environmental parameters from one or more sensors and controlling the heat exchange system based on said environmental parameters.
13 . The heat exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the exchange volume comprises an anti-rooting device.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the exchange volume comprises an anti-rooting device.
15 . A heat exchange system which enables the thermal regulation inside a building, comprising:
a horizontal external surface superimposed on or adjacent to the building,
an exchange volume arranged on the horizontal external surface, the exchange volume comprising an external surface in contact with the atmosphere, wherein the external surface is a vegetated layer of muscoid plants,
one or more damping zones in the exchange volume, the damping zones having resiliently deformable elements comprising hollow cylinders,
a porous substrate in the exchange volume which enables water to be retained.
16 . The heat exchange system of claim 15 , the damping zones extending over an entire periphery of the exchange volume.
17 . The heat exchange system of claim 15 , the hollow cylinders having an external diameter and an internal diameter corresponding to a third to two thirds of the external diameter, which contains air.
18 . The heat exchange system of claim 15 , wherein the exchange volume comprises an anti- rooting device.
19 . The heat exchange system of claim 15 , having a heat diffusion device comprising a circulation pump.
