[0053] Performance testing:

[0054] 1. Breathability test

[0055] The air permeability of commercially available conventional graphite breathable rings and carbon / carbon composite breathable rings prepared in Examples 1-3 were tested using the gas permeability test-pressure difference method; the results are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1. Results of density and air permeability tests

[0057]

[0058] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the carbon / carbon composite gas permeable ring of the present invention has significantly improved air permeability at the same density compared with the conventionally used graphite gas permeable ring, and the air permeability of the carbon-carbon gas permeable ring can be further adjusted and controlled by adjusting the process parameters.

[0059] 2. Mechanical property testing

[0060] The mechanical property test results of the carbon / carbon composite breathable rings prepared in Examples 1-3 and the conventional graphite breathable rings on the market are shown in Table 2. The compressive strength and flexural strength were tested by the three-point bending method.

[0061] Table 2. Test results of the mechanical properties of the breathable ring.

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the mechanical properties of the carbon / carbon composite gas-permeable ring prepared by this invention are much higher than those of the graphite gas-permeable ring, making it more durable and having a longer service life under working conditions.

[0065] 3. Purity test

[0066] The purity of the carbon-carbon breathable ring was tested by GDMS (glow discharge mass spectrometry). The content of metal impurity elements in the breathable ring product obtained in Example 1 is shown in Table 3.

[0067] Table 3. Test results of impurity element content in the air permeable ring (partial) (unit: ppm)

[0068] element content element content Li <0.01 Cr <0.01 Mg <0.05 Fe 0.20 Al 0.08 Cu <0.05 Ti <0.01 Zn <0.05 Ca <0.05 Mn 0.04 Co <0.01 Ni 0.09 Na <0.05 K <0.1 B 0.02

[0069] As can be seen from the data in Table 3, the carbon / carbon composite material prepared by this invention has a low content of impurity elements in the breathable ring, which meets the requirements for use in semiconductors and avoids contamination.

[0070] 4. Thermal performance testing

[0071] Table 4. Test results of thermal expansion coefficient (1000℃) and thermal conductivity (1300℃) of the breathable ring.

[0072]

[0073] The carbon / carbon composite breathable ring of the present invention has been tested and found to have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is much lower than that of commercially available graphite materials. This indicates that the carbon / carbon composite breathable ring has low thermal deformation, is more stable under high temperature conditions, and has slightly higher thermal conductivity than graphite materials, thus saving more energy.

[0074] The results of the above embodiments show that the high-density, high-permeability carbon / carbon composite gas-permeable ring prepared by the present invention through resin circulation impregnation and high-temperature purification process is more in line with the requirements of photovoltaic thermal field use. At the same time, it has higher thermal mechanical properties, longer service life, and lower energy consumption, which can reduce the production cost of enterprises and meet the growing demand for photovoltaic thermal field accessories.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
