Thermal property in phase-change units and improvement for supercoiling of sodium acetate trihydrate
Taking sodium acetate trihydrate (CH3COONa·3H2O)as basic material for heat storage
this paper reports that the use of nucleating agents
vibration
and mixing can be as several ways to improve the supercooling properties of CH3COONa·3H2O.Melting-freezing experiments were made in units made of stainless steel
which is used to imitate the heat accumulators in daily life.By cooling curve and DSC test
the change of supercooling and ability to store heat were investigated.As a result
when an optimal amount of Na2HPO4·12H2O and SiO2 were added to CH3COONa·3H2O
the degree of supercooling was low to approximately 2-3℃ or blow 2.5℃.After introducing ultrasonic vibratory
the degree of supercooling can be as low as 0.7℃.What's more
after stirring the melt for 15 min
the degree of supercooling would be under 2℃
and releasing heat for a long time.At the same time
the last two ways
i.e.
ultrasonic vibratory and stirring can solve the problem of phase separation.At last
this paper analyzes the merits and demerits of above methods for nucleating.In order to improve supercooling in practical application and research
it is suitable to choose a best method according to the size of accumulators and economy.
