It should be noted that the wall of HTR device, for example conduit and collector (referring to Fig. 2) and piece (referring to Fig. 5 A, the quality (M of wall 5B)
W) be the principal element that influences the HTR operating efficiency.Importantly should make the quality (M of the wall of HTR device
W) remain smaller value with the ratio of HTR mass of medium.Still referring to Fig. 1, when heating HTR device in step 2, described wall (not shown) is from T
1Be heated to T
2Thereby, absorb sensible heat.Therefore, a part of HTR medium is solidified to satisfy energy balance relations.So the amount of the remaining HTR medium that will be cured is less, and the heat that discharges in step 3 is also less.Referring to Fig. 1, when cooling HTR device in step 4, described wall is from T again

Heat is very natural can to flow to the low temperature heat abstractor from high temperature heat source.The present invention discloses a kind of method and apparatus, it has the input of suitable energy to realize and natural situation reverse effect just in time.In theory, for the regulation heat that rising improved (latent heat of HTR medium) of unit temperature, the input work (institute's applied pressure multiply by the volume variable of HTR medium) of HTR and absolute temperature are inversely proportional to.This relation can (NO.3) derive, and can adopt such formula: { P Δ V/ Δ H Δ T}=1/T, it have represented the rule of heating device for Journal of ChemicalPhysics, the 25th volume by Clausius-carat amber dragon formula.The present invention makes according to the exert pressure principle that fusing point changes when changing.
The compound that is applicable to the HTR medium has two kinds usually: kind A material is the most commonly used, and for this material, when the pressure on being applied to medium raise, its fusing point also raise.Therefore, described medium will absorb heat under low temperature and low pressure; And when institute's applied pressure raise, the fusing point of medium also raise, thereby allowed it to discharge heat and curing at high temperature.For for the kind B material the water, when institute's applied pressure raise, its fusion temperature then can reduce.When being applied on ice pressure and raising, its fusing point can reduce, thereby allows ice to absorb heat under 0 ℃ the temperature and melt and during at release pressure, solidify once more at 0 ℃ being lower than.However, can make these two kinds of materials be used for absorbing at low temperatures heat and release heat at high temperature by the influence that medium is under pressure change.Therefore, the arbitrary medium that has suitable variation on fusing point all can be used as the heat temperature raising medium.Suitable heat temperature raising medium comprises such compound, and these compounds for example have at the fusing point that changes between-30 ℃ and 100 ℃ described in chemistry and the physics handbook, and this handbook can be in this application with reference to using.Any synthetic mixture must have the eutectic point of scope between 30 ℃ and 100 ℃, also can be with a kind of mixture as the HTR medium.Below accompanying drawing is illustrated in greater detail.

Accompanying drawing shows that also HCM-1 can adopt identical material with the HCM-2 medium.In this case, can be with the HCM-1 condensate that in cryogenic condensation operation, obtains as the HCM-2 medium and make it stand the high temperature evaporation operation, also can be with the HCM-2 condensate that in the high temperature condensation operation, forms as the HCM-1 medium and make it stand the low-temperature evaporation operation.
Fig. 2 has illustrated the structure of heat temperature raising device (HTR device) 1.It comprises the many pipes that have thermal conductivity and can keep-up pressure 2,3, one collectors 4 of a large amount of heat temperature raising media, and one be used for cylinder body and piston component 5 that the HTR medium is pressurizeed and reduces pressure.This pressue device can only be a piston, maybe can be the pressue device of any other type.
Put on pressure on the heat temperature raising device by change, heat temperature raising medium (HTR medium) 3 can absorb heat and release heat at high temperature at low temperatures.Material by type of service A describes the present invention as the heat temperature raising medium.HTR under low pressure melts and with the latent heat form storing heat of HTR medium.When increasing institute's applied pressure, the fusing point of HTR medium raises.Under high pressure, at high temperature discharge the latent heat of HTR medium, and the HTR medium will solidify once more.Therefore, by changing institute's applied pressure, HTR will allow the HTR medium to carry out the batch processing of the intensification from low temperature to high temperature.The heat transfer speed of the conduit by heating device is fast more, and it is also just fast more that the HTR medium absorbs and discharge its latent heat.Therefore, pressure changes and must take place quickly.So in the unit interval, the heating-up temperature amount that produces on the unit length of HTR conduit will be bigger.Can be at a series of fins of conduit installed inside to improve the heat transfer speed in the HTR medium.Fig. 2 A has described a kind of HTR device similar to Fig. 2, and its difference is to have installed a series of longitudinal fin 6 in conduit.Fig. 2 B has described a kind of structure of longitudinal fin.Fig. 2 C has described the part sectioned view of the conduit with installation longitudinal fin within it.
The conduit of heat temperature raising device is made by a kind of material that has thermal conductivity and can keep-up pressure.Can be used to constitute the conduit of HTR device by the different modes manufacturing.
Fig. 3 A has illustrated by making the corrugated plating 8 formed a series of conduit 7 that combines.Adjacent conduit is connected by wing plate 9.Fig. 3 B has illustrated a series of conduits that are connected wing plate with similar the having of conduit among Fig. 3 A, and its difference is to be equipped with longitudinal fin in conduit.
Fig. 4 A has illustrated a series of conduits 7, and these conduits have roughly wall thickness 8 uniformly, and do not have between two adjacent conduits under the situation of any connecting wall, and described conduit is each self-separation.
Fig. 5 A has illustrated a kind of porous metals piece with conduit, and these conduits do not have roughly homogeneous thickness.Fig. 5 B has shown a kind of similar structure, and it has fin in conduit.
During the operation with high pressure of HTR, when pressure increased, the fusing point of HTR medium will raise, thereby allowed HTR medium release heat at high temperature.Simultaneously, the outer wall of conduit also can improve its temperature by absorbing the heat that is discharged by the HTR medium among the HTR.After the HTR release pressure, the pressure of HTR will reduce and the fusing point of HTR medium will reduce, thereby allows the HTR medium to absorb heat at low temperatures, and the outer wall of conduit will reduce temperature by release heat among the HTR simultaneously.The efficient of HTR the raising HCM medium heating-up temperature from low-temperature heat source to the high temperature heat abstractor depends on that the latent heat amount of the HTR medium that the HTR batch processing is raise deducts by the employed sensible heat amount of conduit outer wall.Therefore, the sensible heat that is used by conduit outer wall is more little, and HTR will be effective more in the rising temperature.So the material that will have less sensible heat hold-up is used to constitute HTR, will loses less sensible heat, thereby improve the efficient of HTR.
Therefore, in the above conduit of mentioning type since a series of have can the unit's of making catheter volume than the conduit of uniform wall thickness sensible heat loss reach minimum, so a series of conduits that have than uniform wall thickness are preferably in the top of porous piece conduit so that constitute HTR.The employed quantity of material of porous piece conduit is excessive, then can cause sensible heat loss excessive on the conduit unit volume; Therefore, its be unfavorable and applicable to HTR to improve the heating-up temperature among the HTR.On the other hand, a series of to have conduit than a uniform wall thickness used quantity of material in catheter wall less relatively, and it can reduce because the loss in efficiency that the sensible heat amount of conduit unit volume is caused.
By the exchange between HTR mesohigh and the low pressure, the temperature of HCM medium steam will raise; Thereby the HCM medium steam will allow its latent heat to be delivered on the HTR in the HTR medium condensation and to allow latent heat to make the liquefaction of HTR medium through catheter wall.When the pressure of HTR raise, the fusing point of HTR medium will raise and the HTR medium is at high temperature discharged its latent heat HTR and returned the HCM medium.The heat raising ability of HTR depends on the speed of HTR pressure-exchange between high pressure and low pressure.The exchange of HTR between high pressure and low pressure depends on that the heat that the heat of HCM medium imports speed in the HTR medium or HTR medium into discharges the speed that turns back in the HCM medium.
It is lower and lower by the heat transmission resistance of catheter wall that heat in condensation HCM-1 steam is transmitted resistance.The main heat transfer resistance is present in during heat by the HTR medium of himself transmits.
The condensation rate of HCM medium is very fast, and also very fast by the heat transfer speed of catheter wall, but but very slow at the heat transfer speed of the HTR of metal tube inside medium.Therefore, the exchange velocity of HTR between high pressure and low pressure depends on the heat transfer speed of HTR interior media.So, transmit the speed of resistance for the heat that increases HTR medium in the conduit, a series of fins must be installed in the HTR conduit.Can adopt multiple fin, as vertical diametral rib and vertical diametral rib of on fin, having the hole.Can adopt several different methods and material to form these heat conduction fins.For example, shown in Fig. 2 B, can and make it form circle subsequently with the folding foil of zigzag fashion to constitute a vertical diametral rib.Those skilled in the art can easily select a kind of rib structure from multiple known structure.Since diametral rib be along pipe radially transmit heat, therefore, described fin will improve the heat transfer speed of HTR interior media greatly.The installation of fin will reduce the heat of HTR greatly and transmit the pressure conversion rate of resistance and permission increase HTR, thereby improves the hot climbing capacity of HTR.
Preferably a kind of stationary installation of heat temperature raising device (HTR), it is only as a kind of lifting device in order to the latent heat temperature that improves the HTR medium.Himself do not have from the thermal heat transfer capability of low-temperature heat source to high-temperature heat radiation device.Therefore, need one or both heat-carrying agents (HCM medium) to assist to transmit heat to high-temperature heat radiation device from low-temperature heat source.Can use arbitrarily and under ideal operating temperatures, have the compound of suitable steam pressure as heat-carrying agent.
HCM-1 medium in having the zone of thermal source or directly contact or absorb heat and make himself evaporation from thermal source to become HCM-1 steam by a heat exchanger.The HCM-1 medium steam flow to zone and the condensation on the surface of HTR that is provided with HTR.When on the surface of HCM-1 medium steam at HTR during condensation, HTR medium solid fusing and be stored latent heat as the HTR medium by the heat that the HTR medium absorbs.Behind fusing HTR medium, on the HTR medium, apply high pressure so that the fusing point of HTR medium is promoted to a higher temperature.Simultaneously, the high pressure that is applied will make the latent heat of fusing be promoted to high temperature equally.Subsequently, the HTR medium is released into the HCM-2 medium with heat, and the HCM-2 medium at high temperature evaporates.The HCM-2 medium steam enters the high-temperature heat radiation device zone, and in this zone, HCM-2 steam is released into high-temperature heat radiation device by direct or indirect heat exchange with heat.Whole technology of the present invention comprises that the HTR medium acceptance that makes in the HTR device promotes the batch processing of heating-up temperature; And make the evaporation of HCM medium, the absorption and the release of heat are carried out in condensation.The HCM medium can realize heat is passed to from low-temperature heat source the function of high-temperature heat radiation device.Therefore, heat temperature raising system comprises a heat temperature raising device, a kind of heat temperature raising medium and one or both heat-carrying agents.
Because therefore the batch processing that is treated to by HTR improves heating-up temperature, has limited the latent heat amount of the HTR medium that is raise by each batch.So, when the latent heat quantity not sufficient that produces by operation when remedying the sensible heat loss of conduit outer wall, can use many groups HTR systems so that described operation progressively is promoted to desirable temperature.
According to the thermal source of different types, there is different methods of operating.These methods comprise: when not allowing thermal source directly to contact with the HCM medium, can use a heat exchanger to carry out heat transmission.For example, in the operation of a kind of air-conditioning, with water as HCM-1, with room air as thermal source, thereby produce indirect heat exchange.
When thermal source and HCM medium can produce when directly contacting, the HCM medium directly absorbs heat from low-temperature heat source, and HCM-2 medium condensation and heat is released into high-temperature heat radiation device.For example, can use non-molten aqueous substance as the HCM medium from a kind of aqueous solution, to extract heat.
Processed material can provide a kind of HCM medium and can play the effect of thermal source.For example, when a kind of aqueous solution of rapid evaporation, a part of water becomes the effect that the HCM-1 rest parts then plays thermal source.
Heat-producing chemical reaction can produce and be used to evaporate heat-carrying agent to form the heat of HCM medium steam.
