An analytical and computational model for a solar assisted heat pump heating system with an underground seasonal cylindrical storage tank is developed. The heating system consists of flat plate solar collectors, an underground cylindrical storage tank, a heat pump and a house to be heated during winter season. Analytical solution of transient field problem outside the storage tank is obtained by the application of complex finite Fourier transform and finite integral transform techniques. Three expressions for the heat pump, space heat requirement during the winter season and available solar energy are coupled with the solution of the transient temperature field problem. The analytical solution presented can be utilized to determine the annual variation of water temperature in the cylindrical store, transient earth temperature field surrounding the store and annual periodic performance of the heating system. A computer simulation program is developed to evaluate the annual periodic water and earth temperatures and system performance parameters based on the analytical solution.

Natural convection heat exchangers can be used in solar hot water systems to replace the pump on the tank side of the exchanger. There is currently no experimentally verified way of designing this type of heat exchanger. An experimental apparatus to test natural convection heat exchangers was built and an extensive set of measured data obtained on two different exchangers sized for low-flow stratified tank system. Two theoretical models for the exchanger are presented: a finite-volume primitive variable numerical solution of the fundamental laminar equations of fluid motion and a laminar forced-convection-based solution method. Comparison of the model predictions with the experimental data showed good agreement when the modified Rayleigh number is less than about 400. The poor agreement under other conditions was attributed to turbulence and recirculation neither of which was accounted for in the models. 相似文献

Thermal performance parameters for a solar-assisted heat pump (SAHP) drying system with underground thermal energy storage (TES) tank and heat recovery unit (HRU) are investigated in this study. The SAHP drying system is made up of a drying unit, a heat pump, flat plate solar collectors, an underground TES tank, and HRU. An analytical model is developed to obtain the performance parameters of the drying system by using the solution of heat transfer problem around the TES tank and energy expressions for other components of the drying system. These parameters are coefficient of performances for the heat pump (COP) and system (COPs), specific moisture evaporation rate (SMER), temperature of water in the TES tank, and energy fractions for energy charging and extraction from the system. A MATLAB program has been prepared using the expressions for the drying system. The obtained results for COP, COPs, and SMER are 5.55, 5.28, and 9.25, respectively, by using wheat mass flow rate of 100 kg h−1, Carnot efficiency of 40%, collector area of 100 m2, and TES tank volume of 300 m3 when the system attains periodic operation duration in fifth year onwards for 10 years of operation. Annual energy saving is 21.4% in comparison with the same system without using HRU for the same input data. 相似文献

This paper presents numerical investigations of thermal stratification in a vertical cylindrical hot water tank established by standby heat loss from the tank. The transient fluid flow and heat transfer in the tank during cooling caused by standby heat loss are calculated by means of validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. The measured heat loss coefficient for the different parts of the tank is used as input to the CFD model. Parametric studies are carried out using the validated models to investigate the influence on thermal stratification of the tank by the downward flow and the corresponding upward flow in the central parts of the tank. Tank design parameters such as tank volume, height to diameter ratio and insulation and different initial conditions of the tank are investigated.It is elucidated how thermal stratification in the tank is influenced by the natural convection and how the heat loss from the tank sides will be distributed at different levels of the tank at different thermal conditions. The results show that 20–55% of the side heat loss drops to layers below in the part of the tank without the presence of thermal stratification. A heat loss removal factor is introduced to characterize the effect of the buoyancy driven flow on exchange of heat loss between tank layers by natural convection. Based on results of the parametric studies, a generalized equation for the heat loss removal factor is obtained by regression which takes into account the influences of tank volume, height to diameter ratio, tank insulation and initial conditions of the tank. The equation is validated for a 150–500 l tank insulated with 0–7 cm mineral wool and a tank height to diameter ratio of 1–5. The equation will be implemented in an existing tank optimization and design program for calculation of thermal performance of a hot water tank. 相似文献

In this study, the cylindrical phase change storage tank linked to a solar powered heat pump system is investigated experimentally and theoretically. A simulation model defining the transient behaviour of the phase change unit was used. In the tank, the phase change material (PCM) is inside cylindrical tubes and the heat transfer fluid (HTF) flows parallel to it. The heat transfer problem of the model (treated as two-dimensional) was solved numerically by an enthalpy-based finite differences method and validated against experimental data. The experiments were performed from November to May in the heating seasons of 1992–1993 and 1993–1994 to measure both the mean temperature of water within the tank and the inlet and outlet water temperature of the tank. The experimentally obtained inlet water temperatures are also taken as inlet water temperature of the simulated model. Thus, theoretical temperature and stored heat energy distribution within the tank have been determined. Solar radiation and space heating loads for the heating seasons mentioned above are also presented. 相似文献

The seasonal sensible heat storage model developed by Hooper and Attwater [1] is modified to describe the thermal behaviour of the soil regime surrounding cylindrical, in-ground, heat storage tanks with optimally distributed insulation. The model assumes steady-state heat transfer, and the surrounding soil is considered to be homogeneous and isotropic. Changes in soil thermal properties due to moisture migration, whether driven by thermal or hydrostatic gradients, are assumed negligible [2]. The optimal distribution is determined using the method of Lagrange multipliers. It is shown that the marginal cost per unit of energy lost and per unit of tank surface area must be the same at all points on the surface of the tank as the condition for minimum total heat loss with a given total investment in insulation. This condition appears to apply for all axi-symmetric in-ground tank geometries. For a given volume of insulation, the incremental increase in storage efficiency with an optimal redistribution of the insulation is a function of tank geometry. The problem of determining the optimal total investment in insulation for a given marginal cost of fuel is described and a method of solution is outlined. 相似文献

This paper presents a zero-dimensional (0D) model of hydride tank. The model aims to study the dynamic heat and mass transfers during desorption process in order to investigate the thermal-fluidic behaviors of this hydride tank. This proposed model has been validated experimentally thanks to a tailor-made developed test bench. This test bench allows the hydride characterization at tank scale and also the energetic characterization. The simulation results of the heat exchanges and mass transfer in and between the coupled reaction bed, show good agreement with the experimental ones. It is shown that the heat produced by a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) (estimated starting from an electrical model) is enough to heat the metal alloy (FeTi) and therefore release the hydrogen with a sufficient mass flow rate to supply the PEMFC. Furthermore, the obtained results highlight the importance of the developed model for energy management of the coupling of fuel cell and hydride tank system. 相似文献

A temperature-controlled hot water heat pump was simulated using heating in a vertical, domestic hot water storage tank. The influence of the return loop flow rate on stratification was investigated experimentally. The return loop is the water line that supplies a long line of consumers with hot water, and returns colder water to the middle of the hot water storage tank. The return temperature is a function of the length of the loop, insulation, and ambient conditions. Temperatures were measured as a function of time at different vertical locations on the centerline of the storage tank. The temperature distributions in the tank were compared for different return flow rates. A return flow rate of three tank volumes per day was identified as preferable, although good results were also obtained for less than three tank volumes per day. 相似文献

The thermal effects during hydrogen charge and discharge processes are critical for improving hydrogen storage performance. The heat transfer of the hydrogen storage tank couples with its surrounding Dewar flask in thermal simulation. An additional model for studying the natural convection characteristics in the Dewar flask of the hydrogen storage system is developed and integrated into the system model. The Navier–Stokes equation is used to describe the air flow in the Dewar flask. The thermal dispersion is considered to describe the effective thermal conductivity of the storage tank. In the hydrogen storage tank-Dewar flask system, eight monitoring points in hydrogen storage tank and eight points in Dewar flask are selected to monitor temperature variations. The simulated pressures and temperatures in the hydrogen storage tank-Dewar flask system-agree well with experiments. The simulation results show that the model can well describe the natural convective heat transfer characteristics in the Dewar flask and the hydrogen storage behavior in the porous activated carbon tank, and further prove the feasibility and correctness of the coupled thermal simulation of hydrogen storage tank-Dewar flask system. The heat flow rates from the hydrogen tank and the Dewar flask is obtained by integrations along their boundaries to analyze the heat transfer coefficients. The coupled model is useful for optimizing empirical heat transfer coefficients of hydrogen storage tank. 相似文献

The temperature rise of hydrogen tank during fast fill poses challenge on the safety of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Researchers have been continuously looking for methods to mitigate the challenge of overheating. In this paper, we proposed an innovative solution by introducing porous infill in gas tanks to slow down gas-to-wall heat transfer. The porosity of the infill is no less than 97% to maintain the volume capacity of gas tanks. To evaluate the impact of infill heat capacity, we modelled the filling process with a lumped-parameter model and obtained various time-independent temperature evolution curves. Then, we set up a 2D and a 3D finite volume model and investigated the spatial distribution of temperature rise. Four cases with different infill properties were simulated and compared. At the end of the fast fill, the infill resulted in lower tank wall temperature at the cost of higher gas temperature. The combined effect of internal gas temperature and gas-phase effective thermal conductivity largely determines the final temperature distribution. The presence of infill effectively slowed down convective heat transfer, yet overly resistive porous infill may overly slow down the gas flow and result in thermal stratification. Further studies on infill design can be done to seek more effective solutions. 相似文献
