A new barium hydroxide octahydrate composite phase-change material with melting point of 78℃ was developed
and its super cooling degree was reduced by 3-5℃ with the nucleating additive and its thermal conductivity can be enhanced by 11.7% combined with nanotechnology. Heat release characteristics of the new material were investigated on the experimental solar photovoltaic/photo-thermal (PV/T) collectors with cascade heat storage through paraffin wax
water and the new material. The system experimental results show that the new material has no super cooling and performs stable during phase-change. Under the circumstances that the water flow is 90 L·h-1 and the environment temperature is 20℃
the solar collecting system can effectively store solar energy and water temperature can be maintained above 50℃ for more than 60 min
and meanwhile in the first 20 min
the outlet hot water temperature is above 70℃. Thus
the solar energy storage system can reduce the solar cell temperature
and at the same time meet the requirements of daily life.
