Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a technology for measuring the service life of a phase-change material, in particular to a method and a device for measuring the service life of the phase-change material according to a change curve of the temperature of the phase-change material along with time in a condensation process after multiple times of melting and freezing experiments, wherein the main classification number of the international patent is planned to be int.C17.G01N 25/06.
Background
In the using process of the phase-change material, the structure and the function of the phase-change material can be changed due to the repeated phase-change process, for example, the organic phase-change material can change the original properties due to aging; also for example, inorganic hydrated salt phase change materials, the phase change heat of the material will gradually decrease due to the unavoidable tendency of phase separation. Therefore, after repeated use, the function of the phase change material is changed or lost due to the influence of the environment and its own factors, and the number of times of use of the phase change material in which the phase change point shifts and the phase change heat decays to a certain extent is referred to as the lifetime thereof.
There is currently no uniform standard for the measurement of the lifetime of phase change materials. The general method is to examine the change size of the melting point of the phase-change material and the decay of the latent heat of phase change after a plurality of times of melting and freezing experiments to judge the service life of the phase-change material. The melting point is generally measured by two methods: the walking curve method and the melting point determinator method. The phase transition heat is generally measured by three methods: conventional kaometer method, Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
The conventional methods for measuring the service life of the phase-change material need to manually perform a plurality of freezing experiments, the phase-change point and the phase-change heat of the phase-change material are measured after each freezing experiment, and then the decay rate of the phase-change material is calculated according to the following formula: eta ═ Hmi/Hm0In the formula, Hm0、HmiThe phase change latent heat of the phase change material initially and after i times of melting and freezing experiments is respectively.
The advantages of these measurement methods are a higher measurement accuracy, but the disadvantages are also apparent: firstly, the service life of the phase-change material can be obtained only after hundreds of times, even thousands of times of melting and freezing experiments; moreover, DSC test is required to be matched with freeze-thaw experiments, and the sample taken in each DSC measurement is only 2.0-10.0 mg, so that the experimental result cannot truly reflect the thermal physical properties of the measured material (especially bulk material); meanwhile, the measurement cannot be automatically carried out due to the limitation of a measurement method, and time and labor are wasted; in particular, the decay process of the phase change material cannot be systematically and continuously observed; in addition, the measuring method has high testing cost, and is not beneficial to practical application and popularization.

Detailed Description
The method for continuously measuring the service life of the phase-change material (see figures 3 and 4) designed by the invention is as follows: putting the phase-change material to be tested into a melting and freezing experiment pool 1, and carrying out continuous multiple melting and freezing experiments on the phase-change material by utilizing two sets of liquid flow circulating devices 21 and 22 of cold liquid and hot liquid connected with the phase-change material; the cold liquid and hot liquid two groups of liquid circulation devices 21 and 22 respectively comprise respective known liquid flow conveying equipment and flow metering equipment; the two groups of liquid circulation devices 21 and 22 of cold liquid and hot liquid and the low and high temperature constant temperature baths 51 and 52 connected with the liquid circulation devices form an automatic circulation freezing system for the freezing experiment; in the experimental process, the temperature measuring device 3 is used for continuously detecting the temperature change data of the phase change material from the freezing experimental pool 1 connected with the temperature measuring device, the acquired data are simultaneously and respectively sent to the data acquisition device 4 and the temperature control switch device 6 connected with the temperature measuring device, the latter automatically switches two sets of liquid flow circulation devices 51 and 52 of cold liquid and hot liquid according to set process conditions, and the former records and calculates the change value of the temperature of the phase change material along with time and draws the change curve of the whole process, including the curve of the condensation process for further determining the phase change point of the phase change material and the relative magnitude of phase change heat, namely determining the service life of the phase change material.
The continuous measurement principle of the present invention (see FIGS. 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2) is based on the following results of the inventors: the melting point of the phase change material and the relative magnitude of the change in latent heat of phase change are determined by the temperature profile of the phase change material over time during condensation (see fig. 2-1). Under the constant cold source, the liquid phase-change material is in the time t1Carrying out cooling treatment; before the phase change occurs, the cooling curve can be regarded as a straight line; when the phase change occurs, the temperature-lowering curve has a turning point (i.e. t on fig. 2-1)2，TmA point); when the phase transition is completely realized, the cooling curve has a second turning point (t)3，T3A dot). Assuming no phase change of the material occurs, then at t2-t3Within time, its cooling curve should be along t1-t2The extension line of the temperature-reducing curve (the dotted line in fig. 2-1) is still linearly changed during the development, but in the actual process, the temperature-reducing curve is turned due to the occurrence of phase change. Set at time t2-t3During the phase change, the temperature difference between the actual temperature reduction of the phase change material and the hypothetical phase-change-free temperature reduction is delta T, and can be obtained according to the principle that the thermodynamic state function is irrelevant to the process: hm0＝mcpΔT0，Hmi＝mcpΔTi(ii) a So η ═ Hmi/Hm0＝ΔTi/ΔT0Wherein m is the mass of the phase change material in the melting and freezing experiment pool; hm0、HmiRespectively phase change latent heat of the phase change material initially and after i times of melting and freezing experiments; c. CpIs the constant pressure heat capacity of the phase-change material in the liquid state. While maintaining multiple condensation of ambient temperature phaseMeanwhile, the temperature-decreasing curve in the phase-change time can be linearized (see fig. 2-1 and 2-2), and the expression is η ═ Hmi/Hm0＝Δti/Δt0＝(t3i-t2i)/(t30-t20). Therefore, the method can continuously measure the service life of the phase-change material according to the temperature change curve of the phase-change material in the condensation process along with the time.
The principle of the method for determining the lifetime of a phase change material according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 (see FIGS. 2-1 and 2-2). Wherein FIG. 2-1 is a graph of temperature versus time recorded and processed by the data acquisition system during a first condensation of the phase change material; fig. 2-2 is a graph of temperature versus time obtained during the ith condensation of a phase change material. And obtaining the decay rate of the phase change heat of the phase change material according to different values of the delta T in the two graphs.

The lines of the two liquid flow circulating systems are mutually locked, namely when one liquid flow circulating system is opened, the other liquid flow circulating system is closed; the two liquid flow circulating systems respectively comprise a conveying device K, L and a flow metering device (such as a rotary flowmeter); the temperature measuring device F (3 in fig. 3) contains a well-known platinum resistance thermometer G for measuring the change in temperature of the phase change material during the entire experimental measurement; the data acquisition device H (4 in fig. 3) is also prior art and can automatically record the data signal from the temperature measuring device F; the function of the known thermostat I (6 in fig. 3) is to determine when the measured temperature is above its set upper limit temperature (e.g. T)mAt +10 deg.C, an electrical signal is sent to the cold cycleConveying equipment in the system starts a cold circulation system; when the measured temperature is below a predetermined lower limit temperature (e.g. T)mWhen the temperature is minus 10 ℃), the cold circulation system is closed, the hot circulation system is opened, namely the automatic circulation thawing system can receive a signal from the temperature control switch I and execute corresponding actions; meanwhile, the temperature control switch I is also controlled by the temperature measuring device F. The upper and lower temperature limit values are set according to the property of the measured material. When the hydrothermal circulation system is closed, the hydrothermal in the inner sleeve B automatically flows back to the high-temperature constant-temperature bath tank E; similarly, when the cold liquid circulating system is closed, the cold liquid in the outer sleeve C automatically flows back to the low-temperature constant-temperature bath D. J is a support for the freezing experimental tank device 1, which should make the level of the freezing experimental tank device 1 higher than the level of the cold and hot bath D, E, so as to facilitate the liquid flow in the inner and outer sleeves B, C to automatically and smoothly flow back into the cold and hot bath D, E by gravity after the circulation device is closed. During the experiment, the temperature rise and the temperature drop rate of the phase change material are controlled at 2-5 ℃/min by adjusting the preset temperature values of the liquid in the high-temperature constant-temperature bath tank and the low-temperature constant-temperature bath tank. If the temperature rising and reducing speed is too fast, the phase change process of the phase change material is too fast, so that the phase change is incomplete; if the temperature rising and reducing rate is too slow, the experiment time is too long, which is not favorable for the continuous determination of the experiment.
The process of determining the service life of the phase-change material by using the method and the device of the invention is as follows: the phase change material has a known phase change point TmFirstly, the temperature of the high-temperature constant-temperature bath E, D and the temperature of the low-temperature constant-temperature bath E, D are respectively adjusted to be Tm+15℃、Tm15 ℃ below zero and the upper temperature limit of the temperature-controlled switching device I is set to Tm+10 ℃ with a lower limit of Tm-10 ℃ and then raising the temperature of a certain amount (generally 30g optionally) of the phase change material to Tm+15, it is placed in a crystallized glass tube A, inside which a platinum resistance thermometer G will measure its temperature. At the moment, the temperature of the phase-change material is higher than the set upper limit temperature of the temperature control switch device I, so that the conveying device K in the cold liquid circulating system is started, and the flow of the cold liquid is controlled by adjusting the size of the flow meter. At this time, the outer sleeve C is filled with cold fluid, and the phase change system enters a solidification stageA segment; due to condensation, the temperature of the phase change system will gradually decrease until the temperature of the phase change system decreases to the set lower limit temperature of the temperature control switch device I, the cold and hot circulation systems are automatically switched, namely, the conveying equipment K in the cold liquid circulation system is closed, and the conveying equipment L in the hot liquid circulation system starts to operate. At the moment, the cold fluid in the outer sleeve C flows back to the low-temperature constant-temperature bath D by virtue of gravity, the inner sleeve B is gradually filled with the hot fluid, and the phase-change system starts to enter a melting stage. When the temperature rises to Tm +10 ℃ again, the conveying device K is started, the conveying device L is closed, and the phase change system starts to enter the next freezing and melting process. The temperature change of the phase change system was measured by a platinum resistance thermometer G and recorded and stored by a data acquisition device H throughout the experiment, and the whole measurement experiment was continuously performed. And finally, determining the service life of the phase-change material by using the formula according to the temperature change curve of the phase-change material in the whole condensation process along with the time.
One specific example is given below:
the formula of the phase-change material for the life measurement experiment is as follows: 85% of a phase change working medium material mirabilite, 9% of filler sepiolite, 2% of a thickening agent sodium alginate, 1% of a crystal form regulator sodium hexametaphosphate and 3% of a nucleating agent borax.
The initial transformation point of the phase change material is known to be 32.0 ℃. Firstly, the temperature of the aqueous solution in a high-temperature constant-temperature bath E, D and a low-temperature constant-temperature bath E, D (a super constant-temperature bath is selected here) is regulated to 47.0 ℃ and 17 ℃, the upper limit of the temperature of a temperature control switch device I is set to 42 ℃, the lower limit of the temperature control switch device I is set to 22 ℃, then 30G of phase change material is heated to 47.0 ℃ and placed in a glass tube crystal A, a platinum resistance thermometer G measures that the temperature of the platinum resistance thermometer G is higher than the set upper limit temperature of the temperature control switch device I, a signal is transmitted to the temperature control switch I, a conveying equipment centrifugal pump K in a cold liquid circulating system is instructed to be started, and the. At the moment, the outer sleeve C is filled with cold liquid, and the phase change system enters a solidification stage; due to condensation, the temperature of the phase change system is gradually reduced until the temperature of the system is reduced to the set lower limit temperature of 22 ℃ of the temperature control switch device I, the cold and hot circulating systems are automatically switched, namely the centrifugal pump K is closed, and the conveying equipment of the hot liquid circulating system, namely the centrifugal pump L, starts to operate. At the moment, water flow in the outer sleeve C flows back to the low-temperature constant-temperature bath tank D by means of gravity; and the inner sleeve B is filled with hydrothermal liquid, the phase change system starts to enter a melting stage, when the temperature rises to 42 ℃ again, the centrifugal pump K is started, the centrifugal pump L is closed, and the phase change system starts to enter the next freezing and melting experimental determination process. In the experimental process, the temperature rising and reducing rates of the phase-change material are controlled at 2 ℃/min. In the experimental process, the temperature change of the phase change system is measured by a platinum resistance thermometer and recorded and stored by a data acquisition device H, for example, a graph of the temperature recorded and processed by the data acquisition system in the first condensation process of the phase change material and the time relationship is drawn in fig. 6-1; fig. 6-2 is a graph of the temperature of the phase change material obtained in the 50 th condensation process as a function of time, and all the experimental tests (i.e., 1 st to 50 th) were performed continuously, and fig. 5 is a graph showing the change point of the phase change material as a function of the number of times of freezing. The figure shows that after 50 times of thawing experiments, the phase change point of the phase change system does not drift, and meanwhile, the phase change system is reflected to have better anti-aging property.
Finally, according to the temperature change curve of the phase change material in 50 times of condensation processes along with time, the service life of the phase change material can be determined by the formula: that is, according to the different values of the key value Δ T in the two graphs of fig. 6-1, 6-2, the decay rate of the phase change material phase change heat can be calculated, wherein η ═ Hmi/Hm0＝ΔTi/ΔT0＝[29.0-(-14.4)]/[29.3-(-31.3)]71.6%. Such calculation can be simply done by a computer or calculator.
