梯级相变储热技术已被证明是解决相变材料导热性能差的重要方法。已有的关于梯级相变储热系统的数值研究通常是基于一维或二维数学模型完成的,大部分的研究聚焦于系统的储热过程。本工作设计了一种肋片增强型三管式梯级相变储能系统,并建立了三维数值模型。然后研究了系统放热过程中各级PCM的性能变化规律,探究了传热流体进口温度和PCM初始温度对系统放热速率的影响规律。结果表明,在放热过程中,各级PCM相变不会同时发生,受到储热材料的相变温度和潜热的影响最大。传热流体进口流速的增大会提高相变材料的放热速率,但随着流速的进一步增加,放热速率的提高程度明显减弱。相变材料的初始温度对显热放热过程具有一定的影响,但对于潜热放热阶段影响较小。 相似文献

向相变材料中添加金属泡沫可以解决相变材料低导热率引起的换热效果较差等问题,提高系统的整体蓄热效率。然而,复合相变材料的传热性能受金属泡沫孔隙率分布的影响较显著,为进一步提高相变储能单元的传热性能,本工作基于低孔隙率金属泡沫-相变材料(PCM)复合储能系统,建立了一种新的梯度孔隙率金属泡沫结构,通过数值模拟方法,对蓄热单元熔化过程中的熔化率、储能速率、储能总量进行分析,系统研究了孔隙率沿加热方向负梯度分布、正梯度分布对复合相变材料熔化速度和储热性能的影响。研究结果表明,负梯度孔隙率结构可以进一步提高储能系统的储热效率,其中,孔隙率梯度为0.12(案例S-6)时增强效果最显著。在熔化周期的不同阶段,负梯度孔隙率对复合材料的传热均有不同程度增强,对于S-6,在1000 s、2000 s、2600 s时,熔化率相较于均匀孔隙率结构分别增加了0.67%、2.31%、9.90%;随着孔隙率梯度的增加,相变材料的热性能提高越显著,与均匀孔隙结构相比,改进的负梯度孔隙率结构其完全熔化时间最高可缩短7.32%,储热速率可提高8.02%。对于正梯度孔隙率结构,其对熔化速度没有显著影响,但是储热总量可提高0.49%。 相似文献

The present study presents a theoretical model for the performance of a shell and tube latent thermal energy storage (LTES) unit using multiple phase change materials (PCMs). The model is based on the enthalpy method. Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the effects of different multiple PCMs on the melted fraction, stored thermal energy and fluid outlet temperature of the LTES unit. Numerical results indicate that PCMs’ fractions and melting temperatures play an important role in the performance of the LTES unit. As a result, appropriate choosing of multiple PCMs is very significant for the performance improvement of the LTES unit. 相似文献

This paper presents the analytical and experimental investigations of the phase change heat transfer characteristics and thermodynamic behavior of spherically enclosed phase change material (PCM) with dispersion of nanoparticles for latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system in buildings. In this study, the heat transfer characteristics in terms of the transient temperature variations, moving interface positions, complete rate of solidification and melting were analyzed for the six different PCMs considered in pure form and with dispersed nanoparticles as well. The heat transfer characteristics of the PCMs considered were analytically modeled and experimentally evaluated for the steady state and transient conditions for various heat generation parameters during freezing and melting cycles of the LTES system. The experimental results infer that for the same thermal load conditions the rate of solidification for the PCMs decreased with the increased mass fractions of nanoparticles while compared to the pure PCMs. For the same operating conditions of the LTES system, similar heat transfer characteristics were observed for the six PCMs considered. In this paper, the analytical model solutions and experimental results for the 60% n-tetradecane: 40% n-hexadecane PCM are presented. The solidification time for the 60% n-tetradecane: 40% n-hexadecane PCM embedded with the aluminium and alumina nanoparticles were expected to reduce by 12.97% and 4.97% than at its pure form respectively. Besides, the test results indicate that by increasing the mass fraction of the nanoparticles beyond the limiting value of 0.07 the rate of solidification was not significant further. Furthermore, the rate of melting was improved significantly for the PCMs embedded with the dispersed nanoparticles than the pure PCMs. The analytical solutions obtained for the pure and dispersed nanoparticles based PCMs were validated using the experimental results. The deviations observed between the analytical solutions and the experimental results were in the range of 10%-13%. Based on the analytical and experimental results the present nanoencapsulated LTES system can be regarded as a potential substitute for the conventional LTES system in buildings for achieving enhanced heat transfer characteristics and energy efficiency. 相似文献

Experimental Investigation on Heat Storage/Retrieval Characteristics of a Latent Heat Storage System
The charging and discharging characteristics of a latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system were experimentally studied. Pure paraffin and paraffin/expanded graphite (EG) composite containing 7% and 10% mass fraction of EG were used as the phase-change materials (PCMs). Various experiments were conducted with different heat transfer fluid (HTF) temperatures and flow rates for heat storage and retrieval, respectively. The time durations of the charging and discharging processes, the mean power, and the energy efficiency of the system, which are the important factors of the LTES system, were discussed. The results showed that natural convection played a crucial role in the heat transfer during the charging process of paraffin, but heat conduction was the main heat transfer mechanism during the discharging process of paraffin. The higher the flow rate was, the higher the charging and discharging rate would be. Large temperature difference between the HTF and the initial state of PCM would accelerate the charging and discharging processes. During the charging process, the large temperature difference would result in the accelerated phase-change process due to the enhanced natural convection that could be seen clearly when the PCM was paraffin. While no significant difference was found for different initial temperatures during the discharging process. The performance of the LTES was affected prominently by the PCMs, HTF temperatures, and flow rates. The energy efficiency was higher for the 10 wt% EG PCMs, and the mean power during the discharging process was larger accordingly. 相似文献

Latent thermal energy storage system (LTES) is an integral part of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants for storing sun’s energy during its intermittent diurnal availability in the form of latent heat of a phase change material (PCM). The advantages of an LTES include its isothermal operation and high energy storage density, while the low thermal conductivity of the PCM used in LTES poses a significant disadvantage due to the reduction in the rate at which the PCM can be melted (charging) or solidified (discharging). The present study considers an approach to reducing the thermal resistance of LTES through embedding heat pipes to augment the energy transfer from the heat transfer fluid (HTF) to the PCM. Using a thermal resistance network model of a shell and tube LTES with embedded heat pipes, detailed parametric studies are carried out to assess the influence of the heat pipe and the LTES geometric and operational parameters on the performance of the system during charging and discharging. The physical model is coupled with a numerical optimization method to identify the design and operating parameters of the heat pipe embedded LTES system that maximizes energy transferred, energy transfer rate and effectiveness. 相似文献

The melting and heat transfer characteristics of multiple phase change materials (PCMs) are investigated both experimentally and numerically. Multiple PCMs, which consist of three PCMs with different melting points, are filled into a rectangle-shaped cavity to serve as heat storage unit. One side of the cavity is set as heating wall. The melting rate of multiple PCMs was recorded experimentally and compared with that of single PCM for different heating temperatures. A two-dimensional mathematical model to describe the phase change heat transfer was developed and verified experimentally. The properties of multiple PCMs, including the effect of the melting point difference (combined type), thermal conductivity, and latent heat, on the heat transfer performance of the PCM were analyzed numerically. The results show that, the melting time decreases before it increases, with an increasing melting point difference for the multiple PCMs. In addition, the melting point decreases with increasing distance from the heating wall. Most of these types of multiple PCMs melt faster than the single PCM, and the multiple PCMs, with the melting point arranged as 322 K/313 K/304 K, has the shortest melting time in this study. The melting rate of the multiple PCMs, 322 K/313 K/304 K, accelerates faster than for the single PCM as the thermal conductivity, latent heat, and heating wall temperature increase. Finally, generalized results are obtained using a dimensionless analysis for both single and multiple PCMs. 相似文献

Due to the complexity of the fluid flow and heat transfer in packed bed latent thermal energy storage (LTES) systems, many hypotheses were introduced into the previous packed bed models, which consequently influenced the accuracy and authenticity of the numerical calculation. An effective packed bed model was therefore developed, which could investigate the flow field as the fluid flows through the voids of the phase change material (PCM), and at the same time could account for the thermal gradients inside the PCM spheres. The proposed packed bed model was validated experimentally and found to accurately describe the thermo-fluidic phenomena during heat storage and retrieval. The proposed model was then used to do a parametric study on the influence of the arrangement of the PCM spheres and encapsulation of PCM on the heat transfer performance of LTES bed, which was difficult to perform with the previous packed bed models. The results indicated that random packing is more favorable for heat storage and retrieval as compared to special packing; both the material and the thickness of the encapsulation have the apparent effects on the heat transfer performance of the LTES bed. 相似文献

Improvement of the thermal conductivity of a phase change materials (PCM) is one effective technique to reduce phase change time in latent heat storage technology. Thermal conductivity is improved by saturating porous metals with phase change materials. The influence of effective thermal conductivity on melting time is studied by analyzing melting characteristics of a heat storage circular capsule in which porous metal saturated with PCM is inserted. Numerical and approximate analyses were made under conditions where there are uniform or non-uniform heat transfer coefficients around the cylindrical surface. Four PCMs (H2O, octadecane, Li2CO3, NaCl) and three metals (copper, aluminum and carbon steel) were selected as specific materials. Porosities of the metals were restricted to be larger than 0.9 in order to keep high capacity of latent heat storage. Results show that considerable reduction in melting time was obtained, especially for low conductivity PCMs and for high heat transfer coefficient. Melting time obtained by approximate analysis agrees well with numerical analysis. A trial estimation of optimum porosity is made balancing the desirable conditions of high latent heat capacity and reduction of melting time. Optimum porosity decreases with increase in heat transfer coefficient. 相似文献
