Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a capsule for a heat accumulating material which does not expand in a biased direction and does not present deformation, by providing the capsule being a capsule for a heat accumulating capsule to seal and accommodate a heat accumulating composition and the heat accumulating composition containing water as its main ingredient and also salt as an agent to make the crystal fine particles. CONSTITUTION:Sodium chloride is added to the water as an agent to make the crystal fine particles and heat accumulating compositions of various kinds which have water as the main ingredient are adjusted. An obtained heat accumulating composition is put into a vessel made of polypropylene to occupy its 90% volume of the content to produce heat accumulating material capsules of various kinds. As the result as the amount of the sodium chloride addition increases, the variation in the diameter of a heat accumulating capsule becomes smaller. This result can be recognized with other salts although the largeness of the effect may differ a little. With this arrangement it is possible to have a heat accumulating capsule which does not expand in a biased direction and does not present deformation.

[Prior art] For heat storage material compositions used for storage of low-temperature waste heat and air conditioning that involves cooling and heating, it is important to select the optimal main material according to the control target temperature. If your goal is to use water as the main material, it is most effective. In other words, water has a large latent heat of solidification and fusion compared to other substances, and its freezing point (
It is expected to be the most advantageous main material in heat storage material compositions whose management target is around 0°C.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, when water is cooled and solidified, the generation and growth of solid phase (ice) is not always uniform throughout the system; It is well known that people show their bias. One of the reasons for this is the temperature distribution within the system due to convection, which causes the points of primary crystal generation to be biased toward specific areas, and the number of primary crystals to occur is small. This is because crystal growth progresses to that part. Therefore, in a container in which a heat storage material composition is sealed (hereinafter referred to as a heat storage material capsule), a part of the container wall is subjected to concentrated internal pressure due to the ice that expands in volume on one side, and expands in one direction. This results in a situation where the heat storage material capsule is deformed. Considering that heat storage material capsules are generally used in a fairly closely assembled state, the occurrence of such a situation is not at all preferable in terms of stable heat exchange with an external medium.

[Effect] It was explained earlier that the above-mentioned disadvantages are based on the identification of the point of generation of primary crystals, but it has been found that the above-mentioned disadvantages cannot be resolved simply by blending crystal nuclei. Therefore, we conducted various studies from other viewpoints, and by reducing the strength of the growing crystals and allowing them to self-destruct one after another as they grow, small crystals could be formed homogeneously throughout the system. After conducting various studies from the viewpoint of whether this effect could be enhanced, we found that inorganic and organic salts such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, aluminum sulfate, ammonium nitrate, potassium phosphate, potassium alum, sodium acetate, and potassium citrate have the same effect. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the present invention can be effectively achieved.

In the heat storage material capsule containing the heat storage material composition mainly composed of pond water, from the viewpoint of forming a space of about 10% in order to absorb the volumetric expansion due to solidification (about 110%), the heat storage material is Generally, the material composition is made to be about 90% of the capsule content, so when a heat storage material capsule is used in a liquid, the material of the capsule is generally light and A large buoyant force may be generated by the internal space, etc., and the liquid may float on the surface of the liquid. Therefore, taking this into consideration, the heat storage material composition may contain materials with relatively high specific gravity such as silica sand, goldstone, glass, etc. Substances may be allowed to coexist.
