Optimization of heat removal modes for heat exchanger in molten salt single storage tank
Low cost heat charge and discharge can be realized by immersion arrangement of a helically coiled heat exchanger in molten salt single storage tank. Heat removal modes of the helically coiled heat exchanger will directly affect the heat discharge process of the storage system. Simulations were performed for two heat removal modes which include upper-lower path and lower-upper path. For different heat removal modes in the heat discharge process
the law of heat discharge performance of the molten salt single storage tank is given
and the change of flow field of molten salt side is analyzed. The results show that upper-lower path for the helically coiled heat exchanger can improve the transient out temperature
transient heat transfer rate and heat discharge efficiency. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the design of the molten salt single tank heat storage and discharge system.
