Abstract:

For combined sensible-latent heat storage system (CSLHS) (termed as the hybrid configuration), macro encapsulation can effectively solve the leakage problem of PCMs. However, due to the poor thermal conductivity of PCMs, the charging performance of the hybrid configuration slightly increases compared to the solid structure (with only sensible materials). Meanwhile, the natural convection in the PCMs zone could improve the charging performance. So, how to improve natural convection intensity is a key issue for the CSLHS by macro encapsulating. It is found that adding fins can significantly enhance natural convection and accelerate the melting of PCM. In this paper, we proposed the hybrid configuration with fins built-in by macro encapsulation, and analyzed its charging performance with different fin structural parameters in the PCM zone by CFD simulation. In the case, the sensible heat storage material is high-temperature concrete and the PCM is a low-melting-point mixed molten salt. We analyzed the effects of fin number, fin length and fin thickness on the charging performance of the hybrid configuration respectively. From the result, the charging performance increases with the fin number, but the increase rate gradually decreases. When the fin number is 6, the charging performance increases by 20.18% compared to the situation without fin. The charging performance increases gradually with the fin length. Compared with the hybrid configuration without fin, for each 10 mm increase in fin length, its charging performances increase by 4.09%, 5.26%, 7.02%, 8.77%, 11.70%, and 15.79%, respectively. Different from number and length of fins, the effect of thickness on the charging performance is very small. When the fin thickness increased from 1 mm to 4 mm, the charging performance only increased by 2.3%. It indicates that the main reason for the improving the charging performance is to increase the natural convection intensity by dividing the PCM zone through fins. These results show that the charging performance of the CSLHS with macro encapsulation can be improved by optimizing fin structural parameters.
