Phase-change heat storage rod for solar heat collection pipe
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a solar heat collection system component, in particular to a heat storage component for a solar heat collection system.
Background
The solar gravity heat pipe has the advantages of fast heat transfer, small resistance, freezing prevention and the like, and is widely applied to pressure-bearing solar water heaters and heat application engineering. However, when the solar radiation intensity is high, the heat in the heat collecting tube is rapidly accumulated due to the heat transfer power of the gravity heat tube, so that the temperature is increased, the photo-thermal conversion efficiency is reduced, and the heat loss is increased; in cloudy weather, solar radiation is unstable, temperature fluctuation in a heat collecting pipe is large, and heat supply of a system is unstable; although the introduction of the phase-change material can improve the thermal inertia inside the heat collecting tube, the characteristic of low thermal conductivity of the phase-change material can cause the heat absorption and discharge speed to be too slow, and the utilization efficiency is influenced.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
In order to overcome the existing problems, the utility model provides a phase-change heat storage rod for a solar heat collection tube, which can store redundant heat in the heat collection tube into the phase-change heat storage rod, reduce the temperature in the heat collection tube and improve the photo-thermal conversion efficiency; when the sunshine is unstable, the phase change heat storage rod can store heat and transmit the heat to the heat utilization terminal, so that the heat supply stability of the system is improved, and the heat supply time is prolonged.
The phase change heat storage rod for the solar heat collection tube comprises a tube body and a heat storage material, and is characterized in that the tube body is composed of an outer tube, heat conduction fins, an inner tube and a sealing end cover, and the heat storage material is a phase change material.
Further, the outer pipe and the inner pipe form a concentric sleeve, and the heat conduction fins and the phase change material are filled between the outer pipe and the inner pipe.
Furthermore, the outer pipe and the inner pipe are both metal pipes, and the wall thickness is 0.2mm-2 mm.
Further, the heat conducting fins are tightly connected to the inner side of the outer pipe and the outer side of the inner pipe at the same time.
Further, the outer tube and the inner tube form a concentric sleeve with sealed end caps.
Compared with the conventional technology, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
the phase-change heat storage rod is internally provided with the heat exchange fins, so that the defect of low heat conductivity coefficient of a phase-change material can be overcome, the heat transfer time is shortened, and the heat transfer efficiency is improved; after the phase-change material in the phase-change heat storage rod absorbs heat and undergoes solid-liquid phase change, the heat transfer coefficient can be greatly improved, and the heat transfer efficiency of the phase-change heat storage rod is further improved.
Due to the characteristic that the phase-change material absorbs and releases heat to be approximately constant in temperature, the phase-change heat storage rod can be applied to the solar heat collection pipe to reduce the temperature peak value in the solar heat collection pipe and improve the photo-thermal conversion efficiency of the solar heat collection pipe.
When the sunshine condition is not good, the phase change heat-requiring rod can continuously output heat, the stability of the solar heat collection system is improved, and the heat using time is prolonged to a certain extent.
The heat conduction fins are arranged inside the phase-change heat storage rod, so that heat converted by the heat collection tube can be rapidly transferred to the phase-change material, and the heat transfer efficiency is improved.
