Definitions

  • the structured thermal energy storage media, or the random thermal energy storage media, or combinations thereof, can be disposed within a container, such as a large containment vessel, tank, or pipe.
  • a heat transfer fluid that has been charged with thermal energy (i.e., heated), such as by exposure to the sun or other heat source, can be made to flow over and through the thermal energy storage media of the thermal energy storage zone.
  • the thermal energy storage media in turn absorbs heat from the hot heat transfer fluid and stores the absorbed thermal energy for later use, such as during periods when a solar powered collector cannot provide a sufficient quantity of hot fluid directly to a generator (e.g., at night).
  • the structured heat storage media has a low open face area and a low void fraction.
  • the random heat storage media can be arranged in one or more portions of the bed, or in separate beds that surround the structured heat transfer media.
  • the flow paths through the structured heat storage media and the random heat storage media can be arranged so that they do not intersect within the bed of thermal energy storage media (i.e., the flow paths) do not intersect within the thermal energy transfer zone.
  • the structured heat storage media can have a width dimension in a range of not greater than about 1 .5 m (60 inches), such as a width not greater than about 1 .2 m (48 inches), not greater than about 0.91 m (36 inches), not greater than about 0.61 m(24 inches), not greater than about 0.51 m (20 inches), not greater than about 0.46 m (18 inches), not greater than about 0.3 m (12 inches), not greater than about 0.25 m (10 inches), not greater than about 0.2 m (8 inches), or not greater than about 0.15 m (6 inches).
  • the perforations on the top and bottom surfaces of the structured heat storage media can define the shape of the passages that extend through the structured heat transfer media.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the passages can be the same or different from each other.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the passages can be uniform, irregular, varying, or any combination thereof, as the passage extends through the structured heat transfer media.
  • the passages have a uniform cross-sectional shape that is the same as the shape of the perforation on the top surface to which the passage is connected.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the passages changes as the passage extends through the structured heat transfer media.
  • a mixing cavity-creating element can be a separable element (i.e., an external element) from the top surface of the structured heat transfer media.
  • an external cavity-creating element can be an annular body, such as an annular ring 52.
  • An annular ring can be a circular ring, a square ring, a polygonal ring, or other shaped ring, such as a shape that matches the perimeter of the top surface of the structured heat storage media 50.
  • an external mixing cavity-creating element can be a protrusion, a body, or a member, such as a support member, that extends from an interior surface of the common container, the at least first inner container, or a plurality of inner containers in which one or more of the thermal energy storage blocks are disposed.
  • a common container can include a support member, such as a shelf, upon which a structured heat storage media block can rest, the support member separating an upper structured heat storage media block from an adjacent lower structured heat storage media block by a distance that defines the mixing cavity between the thermal energy storage blocks.
  • the support member can be a shelf made of angle iron.
  • MgO about 0 wt% to about 2 wt%
