In this study, two thermal energy storage systems based on eutectic solder (Sn63/Pb37) metallic phase change material (PCM) are compared experimentally during their charging and discharging cycles. The first system is a single-PCM system composed of a packed bed of spherically encapsulated eutectic solder capsules. The other system is a two-PCM cascaded system comprising of eutectic solder spherical capsules at the top and erythritol spherical capsules at the bottom in a storage ratio of 50%:50%. The charging experiments are conducted with three different charging flow rates to investigate the effect of the flow rate. Charging experiments are also performed with three different set charging temperatures to investigate their effect. Discharging experiments are conducted with three different discharging flow rates to investigate their effect on the thermal performance. The cascaded storage system demonstrates better energy and exergy charging rates before the bottom PCM melts. After the low-temperature PCM at the bottom melts, the temperature at the bottom of the cascaded system increases, and the single-PCM system demonstrates higher charging energy and exergy rates. Higher discharging energy and exergy rates are obtained with the single-PCM system for longer periods during discharging compared to the cascaded system. The energy and exergy storage efficiencies of the cascaded system are generally higher compared to the single-PCM system. This is possibly because of the release of latent heat during discharging in a single cycle using multiple phase change sequences.

两种金属共晶焊料基中温家用蓄热系统性能比较

在这项研究中,两种基于共晶焊料 (Sn63/Pb37) 金属相变材料 (PCM) 的热能存储系统在其充电和放电循环期间进行了实验比较。第一个系统是单 PCM 系统,由球形封装的共晶焊料胶囊的填充床组成。另一个系统是两个 PCM 级联系统,由顶部的共晶焊料球形胶囊和底部的赤藓糖醇球形胶囊组成,存储比例为 50%:50%。充电实验是用三种不同的充电流量进行的,以研究流量的影响。还使用三种不同的设定充电温度进行充电实验以研究它们的效果。以三种不同的放电流速进行放电实验,以研究它们对热性能的影响。在底部 PCM 熔化之前,级联存储系统展示了更好的能量和火用充电率。底部的低温 PCM 熔化后,级联系统底部的温度升高,单 PCM 系统表现出更高的充电能量和火用率。与级联系统相比,在放电过程中,单 PCM 系统可在更长的时间内获得更高的放电能量和火用率。与单 PCM 系统相比,级联系统的能量和火用存储效率通常更高。这可能是因为在使用多个相变序列的单个循环中放电过程中释放了潜热。
