Description

  The present invention relates to a heat storage device to which a heat medium is supplied and discharged, and more particularly to a heat storage device that includes a heat storage agent and is also suitable as a vehicle heat storage device.

  For example, in a vehicle, engine coolant that has become hot due to vehicle travel is temporarily stored in a heat storage device when the engine is stopped, and the coolant stored in the heat storage device is supplied to the engine at the next engine start. Thus, the engine is preheated when the engine is started to increase the engine operating efficiency.

  As a conventional heat storage device, there is a vacuum heat insulation type device including a heat insulation container in which a space between an inner container and an outer container is evacuated. However, the vacuum insulation type has a problem that it is difficult to maintain a high airtightness between the inner container and the outer container.

  In addition, as a heat storage device in an ice heat storage system that efficiently uses electric power, a plurality of heat storage bodies containing a heat storage agent together with a supercooling preventive agent in a cylindrical container body that is long in the vertical direction are used as antifreeze liquid in the heat insulation container. An ice heat storage tank having a vertically submerged structure has been proposed.

  However, in the ice heat storage tank, since the heat storage body has a shape that is long in the vertical direction and is installed vertically in the heat insulation container, a temperature difference is easily generated between the heat storage body and the ice storage tank. When standing still, convection occurs in the antifreeze liquid (heat medium) in contact with the heat storage body, and a high temperature area is formed above the antifreeze liquid (heat medium), and the amount of heat released from the high temperature area to the outside of the ice storage tank increases. In addition, there is a possibility that the heat retention is impaired.

  Further, in the ice heat storage tank, the container main body that stores the heat storage agent has a cylindrical shape, so that the distance between the heat storage agent and the heat medium is increased at the center of the container main body, so that the rapid heat storage by the heat storage agent is performed. The exchange cannot be performed efficiently. Therefore, the ice heat storage tank is used in such a way that a new heat medium flows into the heat storage device when taking out the heat medium from the heat storage device, for example, the vehicle heat storage device using engine coolant as the heat medium, There are also problems that are not suitable for applications that require rapid heat exchange.

And the lower half is composed of a structure in which a part of the upper half and the lower half are welded by the inner surface layer, so that by adjusting the thickness of the metal foil, plastic deformation of the metal foil can be achieved. The upper half and the lower half can be easily shaped using this.

  According to the invention of claim 5, in addition to the effects common to the claims 1 to 5, the following effects are obtained. That is, in claim 5, since the heat storage agent has a melting point of 60 ° C. to 90 ° C., a heat medium having a temperature higher than the melting point of the heat storage agent (for example, high-temperature engine cooling water after the vehicle travels) accommodates the heat medium. When the heat storage agent melts by flowing into the container, the heat storage agent absorbs the heat of fusion from the heat medium (engine cooling water), stores the heat energy and keeps it warm, and removes the heat medium from the heat medium container. When the heat medium having a temperature lower than the melting point of the heat storage agent (low-temperature engine cooling water supplied when the engine is started from the vehicle stopped state) flows into the heat medium container and the heat storage agent solidifies, The heat storage agent releases solidification heat (latent heat), and the heat medium (engine cooling water) can be heated by the released heat.

The required number of first spacers 61 are stacked from the lower surface 13 in the heat medium accommodation container 11. At this time, the outer flange portion 45 of the plate-like heat storage body 41 is placed on the lower step 68 of the inner surface 67 of the first spacer 61, and the lower surface of the annular base portion 62 of the upper first spacer 61 is placed on the middle step 69. The outer flange portion 45 of the plate-like heat storage body 41 is sandwiched between the upper and lower first spacers 61, 61, and the outer peripheral end of the plate-like heat storage body 41 and the inside of the side surface 14 of the heat medium storage container 11. A gap S for circulating the heat medium is formed therebetween. Note that the upper portion of the lower first spacer 61 among the first spacers 61 adjacent to the upper and lower portions fits into the lower half 65 portion of the outer surface 64 of the upper first spacer.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the second spacer 71 has an annular shape, and a plurality of annular base portions 72 that contact the outer peripheral surface of the outer tube 29 of the central tube 21, and a plurality of the second spacers 71 on the upper surface of the annular base portion 72.

The heat medium supplied to the heat medium supply flow path 30 reaches between the plate-shaped heat storage bodies 41 from the heat medium supply outflow holes 35 of the central tube 21, and further while contacting the plate-shaped heat storage bodies 41. It reaches the outer peripheral end of the plate-shaped heat storage body 41. Heat exchange is performed by the heat storage agent 55 in the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 while the heat medium flows while being in contact with the plate-shaped heat storage body 41. When the heat medium reaches the outer peripheral end of the plate-shaped heat storage body 41, the heat medium passes through the heat medium circulation gap S between the outer peripheral end of the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 and the inside of the side surface 14 of the heat medium storage container 11. After reaching the upper part of the heat medium container 11, the heat medium is then discharged from the heat medium discharge inlet 24 of the central tube 21 through the heat medium discharge channel 27 and discharged from the heat medium discharge outlet 26.

Unlike the configuration of the heat medium storage container 10 and the central tube 21 in the heat storage device 10 of the first embodiment, other configurations, that is, the plate-shaped heat storage body 41, the first spacer 61, the second spacer 71, etc. This is the same as the heat storage device 10 of the first embodiment. In addition, in the heat storage device 10A of the second embodiment, the members different from the heat storage device 10 of the first embodiment are denoted by A at the end of the reference numerals, and the members having the same configuration are added to the heat storage device 10 of the first embodiment. The same reference numerals as those used are used. Hereinafter, different configurations will be mainly described.

  The heat medium storage container 11A includes a cylindrical heat medium discharge outlet 17A passing through the inside and outside of the heat medium storage container 11A on an upper surface 12A of a cylindrical container having an upper surface 12A and a lower surface 13A.

  As can be understood from FIGS. 7 to 9, the center tube 21A has a front end 22A closed, the other end 23A opened as a heat medium supply inlet 24A, and the inside constitutes a heat medium supply flow path 25A. A plurality of heat medium supply outflow holes 26A communicating with the heat medium supply flow path 25A are radially formed on the outer peripheral surface at predetermined intervals. The central tube 21A is vertically disposed in the heat medium accommodating container 11A from the center of the lower surface 13A of the heat medium accommodating container 11A, and the closed tip 22A is located in the heat medium accommodating container 11A. The heat medium supply inlet 24A protrudes from the center of the lower surface 13A of the heat medium container 11A to the outside of the heat medium container 11A.

  In the plate-shaped heat storage body 41, the central tube 21 </ b> A is inserted into the center tube insertion hole 43, and a plurality of the plate-shaped heat storage bodies 41 are separated from each other via the first spacer 61 and the second spacer 71. And provided in the heat medium container 11A in a substantially horizontal layer shape. The uppermost one 410 of the plurality of plate-like heat storage bodies 41 is located away from the inside of the upper surface 12A of the heat medium storage container 11A. Further, between the outer peripheral ends of the plurality of plate-like heat storage bodies 41 and the inside of the side surface 14 of the heat medium storage container 11, a heat medium flow gap S is provided, respectively, and the heat medium supply of the central tube 21A is further provided. An outflow hole for operation 26 </ b> A is positioned between the plate-like heat storage bodies 41.

  As can be understood from FIG. 8, in the heat storage device 10A configured as described above, the heat medium is supplied from the heat medium supply inlet 24A of the central tube 21A to the heat medium supply flow path 25A. The heat medium supplied to the heat medium supply channel 25A reaches between the plate-shaped heat accumulators 41 through the heat medium supply outflow hole 26A of the central tube 21A, and further while contacting the plate-shaped heat accumulator 41. It reaches the outer peripheral end of the plate-shaped heat storage body 41. Heat exchange is performed by the heat storage agent 55 in the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 while the heat medium flows while being in contact with the plate-shaped heat storage body 41. When the heat medium reaches the outer peripheral end of the plate-shaped heat storage body 41, the heat medium passes through the heat medium flow gap S between the outer peripheral end of the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 and the inner side surface 14A of the heat medium container 11A. It reaches the upper part of the medium container 11A, and is then discharged from the heat medium discharge outlet 17A on the upper surface 12A of the heat medium container 11A.

  As described above, the heat storage device 10 of the first embodiment and the heat storage device 10A of the second embodiment have the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 accommodated substantially horizontally in the heat medium storage containers 11 and 11A. It is difficult for a temperature difference to be generated between the upper and lower parts of the heat storage body 41, and convection is less likely to occur in the heat medium in contact with each plate heat storage body 41. The bias is reduced, heat dissipation from the heat storage devices 10 and 10A from the high temperature region can be suppressed, and heat retention can be improved. Furthermore, since the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 can be flattened, the distance between the central heat storage agent in the plate-shaped heat storage body 41 and the heat medium can be reduced, and quick heat exchange by the heat storage agent 55 can be performed efficiently. In addition, since the heat medium is supplied from the heat medium supply outflow holes 35 and 26A of the central tubes 21 and 21A between a plurality of plate-like heat accumulators 41 provided vertically apart, the flow path of the heat medium is reduced. It does not cause a problem that a part of the plate-shaped heat accumulator does not come into contact with the heat medium due to a short circuit, and the contact between all the plate-shaped heat accumulators 41 and the heat medium can be secured, and heat exchange can be performed effectively.
