Abstract

Abstract: Due to the adsorption performance of porous metal foam structure,a salt hydrate/metal foam composite phase change material(PCM)was prepared by using barium hydroxide octahydrate(Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O)as latent heat storage PCM and copper foams as supporting matrix.The thermal properties of Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O were measured by differential scanning calorimetry after a number of repeated thermal cycles.As the number of thermal cycles increases,the phase change temperature of Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O is almost constant and the latent heat of fusion decreases slightly,which implies that Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O has a good thermal stability.An experimental setup was built to study the heat transfer performance of Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O with/without copper foams.The results show that the high porosity metal foam not only enhances the heat transfer rate of Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O within thermal storage units,but also reduces the supercooling of PCM effectively.The supercooling of salt hydrates can be improved significantly by using larger pores per inch(PPI)metal foams.

摘要： 利用泡沫金属多孔结构的吸附性能,以八水氢氧化钡为相变材料,泡沫铜为基体,制备了结晶水合盐/泡沫金属复合相变材料。采用差示扫描量热法测定了八水氢氧化钡的热循环性能,随着热循环次数的增加,相变材料的相变温度基本不变,相变潜热略有减少,八水氢氧化钡具有较好的热稳定性。搭建了相变储能实验台,实验分析了3组不同实验方案,结果表明,填充泡沫铜不仅增强了相变材料的传热速率,而且有效地降低了八水氢氧化钡的过冷度。当泡沫金属使用较大孔密度后,结晶水合盐的过冷问题得到了比较明显的改善。
