Performance Analysis of Heat Storage and Release Process for a Shell-and-Tube Phase Change Heat Exchanger
The influence of different placements of phase change heat exchangers on the phase change process was investigated
and the simplified mode of multi-tube heat exchangers was further analyzed.
Methods
2
Based on the enthalpy-porosity method
a calculation model for the melting and solidification process of the shell-and-tube paraffin heat exchanger was established
and the phase change process of paraffin outside the single-tube was investigated under horizontal and vertical placements. The effects of single-tube heat exchanger and multi-tube heat exchanger with straight and staggered rows on the melting and solidification process were compared
respectively.
Results
2
Full melting time of horizontal single-tube heat exchanger is 18% shorter than that of vertical
but the difference of full solidification time between the two is not significant. Unlike the melting process
the solidification process uses heat conduction as the main mode of heat transfer
so it is relatively slow
and the full solidification time is increased by more than 20% compared to the same period of full melting time. The time required for the melting and solidification process of multi-tube heat exchanger is slightly longer than that of the single-tube heat exchanger
but its increase in time is not more than 10%
and its melting and solidification rate curve is basically consistent with that of single-tube. Through further study
it is found that when the volume of paraffin wraps around each tube in the multi-tube heat exchanger and the wrapping method is the same
different arrangement methods of the multi-tube heat exchanger would not affect the melting and solidification process.
Conclusions
2
Compared with the vertical placement
the horizontal placement can effectively enhance the melting rate of paraffin outside the single-tube
and the enhancement effect of the melting process is more obvious than that of the solidification process. In addition
when analyzing the performance of the melting and solidification process of the multi-tube heat exchanger
the single-tube or part of the periodic tube can be used for simplification.
