肋片增强式梯级相变储热系统放热特性的三维数值

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。

Enhancing the thermal response of latent heat storage systems

Latent heat storage systems especially those employing organic materials have been reported to exhibit a rather slow thermal response. This is mainly due to the relatively low thermal conductivities of organic latent heat materials. This paper reports experiments carried out to investigate methods of enhancing the thermal response of paraffin wax heat storage tubes by incorporation of aluminium thermal conductivity promoters of various designs into the body of the wax. Heating and cooling runs were carried out and phase change times determined. It was found that the phase change time reduced significantly by orders of up to 2·2 in energy storage (heating) and 4·2 in energy recovery (cooling). Internal fins performed much better than the star matrices and expanded aluminium performed better than promoters made from aluminium sheet metal in both storage and recovery of heat. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Review on heat transfer analysis in thermal energy storage using latent heat storage systems and phase change materials

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used later for heating and cooling applications and for power generation. TES has recently attracted increasing interest to thermal applications such as space and water heating, waste heat utilisation, cooling, and air conditioning. Phase change materials (PCMs) used for the storage of thermal energy as latent heat are special types of advanced materials that substantially contribute to the efficient use and conservation of waste heat and solar energy. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the development of latent heat storage (LHS) systems focused on heat transfer and enhancement techniques employed in PCMs to effectively charge and discharge latent heat energy, and the formulation of the phase change problem. The main categories of PCMs are classified and briefly described, and heat transfer enhancement technologies, namely dispersion of low‐density materials, use of porous materials, metal matrices and encapsulation, incorporation of extended surfaces and fins, utilisation of heat pipes, cascaded storage, and direct heat transfer techniques, are also discussed in detail. Additionally, a two‐dimensional heat transfer simulation model of an LHS system is developed using the control volume technique to solve the phase change problem. Furthermore, a three‐dimensional numerical simulation model of an LHS is built to investigate the quasi‐steady state and transient heat transfer in PCMs. Finally, several future research directions are provided.

Experimental evaluation of commercial heat exchangers for use as PCM thermal storage systems

Phase change materials (PCM) possess a great capacity of accumulation of energy in their temperature of fusion thanks to the latent heat. These materials are used in applications where it is necessary to store energy due to the temporary phase shift between the offer and demand of thermal energy. Thus, possible applications are the solar systems as well as the recovery of residual heat for its posterior use in other processes. In spite of this great potential, the practical feasibility of latent heat storage with PCM is still limited, mainly due to a rather low thermal conductivity. This low conductivity implies small heat transfer coefficients and, consequently, thermal cycles are slow and not suitable for most of the potential applications.     

Optimization simulation of tube-type phase change heat storage unit

列管式换热器具有结构牢固、传热面积大、材料使用适应性强等优点,是相变储热领域应用较为广泛的一种换热器。但由于大部分相变材料热导率偏低,导致换热器的换热性能较差,因此提高相变储热器的储热效率,是目前国内外研究的热点。本工作对列管式相变储热单元进行了二维非稳态模拟优化,研究了换热器结构、翅片数目及中心距3种参数对储热性能的影响,并探讨了熔化过程中相变材料的温度和液相率变化趋势。研究结果表明,与圆形换热器结构相比,正方形换热器储热性能更优;相比于无翅片的储热换热器,添加翅片后储热性能得到显著提升,相变材料熔化时间缩短66%;对中心距而言,在一定范围内,随中心距减小进出口降压增大,但储热性能相应提高。

Melting and solidification performance in two horizontal shell-and-tube heat exchangers with different structures

Recently, a critical problem of latent heat thermal energy storage remains the low thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs), which can lead to low heat transfer rate. Structural optimization design is an effective solution for this problem. In this work, two horizontal shell-and-tube heat exchangers (HEs) with one inner tube (n = 1) and four inner tubes (n = 4) are designed keeping the same amount of PCM and water flow rate, and their melting and solidification thermal performance and heat transfer characteristics are compared. The results show that in comparison with one-inner-tube HE, the temperature of detected points are affected by both upper and lower inner tubes for four-inner-tube HE, thus the differences in phase change process appear. In addition, the phase change time reduction rates are 34.1%, 33.39%, 28.82% at T_in (inlet water temperature) = 75°C, 80°C, 85°C during charging process, and 17.2%, 27.69%, 36.67% at T_in = 10°C, 15°C, 20°C during discharging process, respectively. In comparison with the one-inner-tube HE, the theoretical efficiency of four-inner-tube HE is increased from 75.88% to 90.34%. Although more friction loss should be paid by four-inner-tube HE, a lower energy consumption and a higher heat-energy ratio are achieved. Based on the results of this study, the amount of cumulative heat per energy consumption is 1.52 × 10⁸ and 2.88 × 10⁸ for one-inner-tube and four-inner-tube HE, respectively.

Thermal energy storage of phase change materials in the solidification process inside the quasi-square heat exchanger: CFD simulation

The high latent heat of phase change materials (PCMs) makes them one of the most important sources of heat energy storage systems. However, due to the slow rate of heat transfer in these materials, using conductive materials such as fins and nanoparticles could improve the thermal efficiency of these energy storage systems. So in this article, cross-shaped fins and Copper(II) oxide nanoparticles with different synthesized forms and various volume fractions have been employed to increase the thermal efficiency of paraffin PCMs. In this simulation, three fin models based on the installed size, the shape of the synthesized nanoparticles in brick, cylindrical, and platelet forms, and the nanoparticle volume fraction of the Copper(II) oxide is 1%–4% are studied. Increasing the volumetric ratio of nanoparticle and shape coefficient decrease the time of solidification, while increasing the length of the cross-shaped fins raises the solidification rate and improves heat transfer. Finally, it was found that when the inner and outer walls play a role in the solidification process at the same time, the solidification rate will increase by more than 66% as more zone of the surface is exposed to cold.
