[0002] Using suitable molten salt as a heat transfer and heat storage medium can effectively improve the performance of solar thermal power generation systems. It can be used as a heat storage material or directly as a heat transfer fluid, simplifying the heat exchange process and realizing the integration of heat transfer and heat storage. Therefore, molten salt technology has become an important research direction for exploring ways to improve the efficiency of solar thermal power generation and reduce the cost of power generation.
[0003] Phase change heat storage materials, as a carrier for storing energy, play an important role in recycling industrial waste heat, solar thermal power generation and solar energy "peak shifting and valley filling" heat storage systems. Currently, the commonly used molten salts in business are Solar Salt (melting point is 220℃) and Hetic molten salt (melting point is 142℃).
[0004] However, there is a shortage of mixed molten salts with a melting point of 150-220°C on the market. A higher melting point will lead to increased energy consumption, while the existing mixed molten salts with a melting point of 150-220°C have poor decomposition temperature, latent heat of melting and other thermal properties and cannot meet usage requirements. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a nano phase change thermal storage material with a high decomposition temperature and a melting point of 150-220°C. The nano phase change thermal storage material has a low melting point and a melting point of 150-220°C, which makes up for the shortage of molten salt phase change thermal storage materials in this temperature range, can effectively reduce energy consumption, and has good decomposition temperature, melting latent heat and other thermal properties. The average specific heat of the nano phase change thermal storage material is 1.723, 1.910, 2.122, and 2.213 J / (g·k), respectively, which effectively reduces the cost of the heat transfer and thermal storage system, simplifies the initial operation procedure of the system, and increases the safety and stability of the entire system.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0007] The high decomposition temperature nano phase change thermal storage material with a melting point of 150-220°C is composed of 99wt% of a low melting point mixed molten salt and 1wt% of SiO2 nanoparticles, wherein the low melting point mixed molten salt is composed of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate in a mass ratio of 60:40:(5-20).
[0008] Furthermore, the particle size of the SiO2 nanoparticles is 20 nm.
[0009] Furthermore, it can be used for solar thermal power generation and factory waste heat recovery.
