Abstract:

Based on theoretical calculation, lauric acid-palmitic acid-stearic acid ternary eutectic mixture (LA-PA-SA) was obtained firstly. Then, the LA-PA-SA/expanded graphite (EG) composite phase change material (PCM) with an optimum mass ratio of LA-PA-SA: EG=15:1 was prepared by the porous structure of EG. The prepared LA-PA-SA/EG composite PCM are characterized by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal cycling and thermal performance test. The results showed that LA-PA-SA uniformly distributed in the porous network structure of EG due to the capillary action and surface tension. The melting and freezing temperatures and latent heats of the LA-PA-SA/EG composite PCM were 32.1℃ and 30.3℃, and 143.2 J·g-1 and 143.1 J·g-1 respectively. Thermal cycling test results showed LA-PA-SA/EG had a good thermal and chemical reliability after 1000 thermal cycles. Thermal performance test results indicated that the rate of thermal energy storage and release was accelerated due to the high thermal conductivity of EG.

摘要:

以理论计算为基础,制备了月桂酸-棕榈酸-硬脂酸三元低共熔混合物(LA-PA-SA)。利用膨胀石墨(EG)的网状多孔结构,制备了最佳质量配比为15:1(LA-PA-SA:EG)的LA-PA-SA/EG复合相变材料。综合利用FT-IR、SEM、DSC、冷热加速循环和蓄放热实验等对复合相变材料的结构和性能进行了研究。结果表明:LA-PA-SA通过物理吸附作用均匀分布于EG的多孔结构中;复合相变材料的熔化和凝固温度分别为32.1℃和30.3℃,熔化和凝固潜热分别为143.2 J·g-1和143.1 J·g-1;经过1000次冷热循环后具有良好的热稳定性和化学稳定性;EG的高导热性加快了复合相变材料的蓄放热速率。
