Abstract:

Thermal storage technology can effectively solve the difficulty of renewable energy's grid connection. In order to obtain the phase-change heat transfer characteristics of modified barium hydroxide octahydrate in double pipes, our team prepared modified barium hydroxide octahydrate and studied its phase-change discharging characteristics in double pipes through experiments. The effects of cooling water temperature at inlet and flow rate on the phase transformation process and heat transfer performance of modified barium hydroxide octahydrate were studied. The results show that increasing the inlet flow rate of cold fluid can shorten the phase-change heat-discharge time of modified barium hydroxide octahydrate, but excessive inlet flow rate would reduce the heat transfer power; increasing the cooling water temperature at inlet has little effect on the phase-change discharging time, but it would reduce the heat transfer power as well. In the range of the experiment, the optimum inlet flow rate is 80 L/h and the maximum average heat transfer power is 251 W.
