A novel pilot-scale apparatus was designed to continuously produce CO2 hydrate for cool storage. The pre-chilling time
amount of CO2 hydrate formation
hydration ratio
and cool energy of hydrate were analyzed under different CO2 charge pressures. Results showed that CO2 hydrate formed during the rising process of CO2 bubbles in water and cumulated at the gas-liquid interface. The cool storage performance can be improved greatly as the charge pressure increases. Under charge pressure of 4.2 MPa
the pre-chilling time
amount of hydrate formation
hydration ratio and latent cool energy storage are 8 min
8.44 kg
75.1% and 4.22 MJ respectively. When the charge pressure is higher than 3.8 MPa
large temperature differences appear between the middle and low parts of reactor
resulted from low thermal conductivity of formed hydrate. Evaporation of liquid CO2 reduces reactor temperature to 0℃ or even lower at late stage of hydrate formation
