The invention provides a
system and method for triggering solidification and energy release of a supercooled hydrated
salt solution through magnetic attraction friction. The
system consists of a fixed bracket, a disc, a
magnet fixing device, a hoop, a
cushion block, a motor, a
magnet, a supercooled hydrated
salt solution, a bearing
steel ball, a heat storage unit, a power supply, a temperature
data acquisition instrument, a four-wire
system PT100 film
platinum resistor and a computer. The fixing support, the disc and the
magnet fixing device are used for fixing magnets. The hoop and the
cushion block are used for fixing the heat storage unit; the motor is used for applying external force to the magnet; the magnet is used for applying a
magnetic field to the bearing
steel ball, magnetic attraction friction is generated under the driving of the motor, and the supercooled hydrated salt
phase change material is caused to solidify and release energy; the supercooled hydrated
salt solution is used for storing heat; the bearing
steel ball is used for cooperating with the magnet to trigger the hydrated salt solution to solidify and release energy; the power supply is used for rotating the motor; the temperature
data acquisition instrument is used for collecting temperature data measured by the four-wire PT100 film
platinum resistor; the four-wire PT100 film
platinum resistor is used for measuring the temperature change of the surface of the small heat
storage tank in the energy release process of the supercooled hydrated salt
phase change material; and the computer is used for recording and displaying the temperature data. The defects that other triggering
modes are complex (such as ultrasonic
waves),
induction time is too long (such as local low temperature), a heat storage container is prone to being damaged (such as
mechanical vibration) and the like are overcome, the method has the advantages of being easy and effective to operate, short in triggering time, free of contact with samples and the like,
pollution is avoided, and long-term use of the system is facilitated.
